Plan would pay for work at Kansas Capitol
Kansas would issue additional bonds and use transportation money to help finance more work on the statehouse and its grounds under a proposal from Gov. Sam Brownback's administration.
The proposal would set aside $7 million from the Kansas Department of Transportation to work on the grounds around the statehouse and require the state to issue $5.4 million in bonds for the visitors center. The state also would dedicate $5 million it has saved during its 12-year renovation of the statehouse.
The plan is notable because legislative leaders had said they expected the state to use private funds to finance the visitors center, the last major piece of interior work. The total cost of the renovation has already reached $320 million, more than triple the early estimates.
Brownback and legislative leaders are scheduled to meet today to consider authorizing the bonds. The request for permission to issue the bonds comes formally from Brownback's secretary of administration.
"Working with the legislative leaders and the governor's office, a three-part proposal has been brought forward to facilitate a way to complete the project," budget director Steve Anderson said in a memo to the governor and legislative leaders that was obtained by The Associated Press.
The visitors center would be in the statehouse basement, which has been greatly expanded. The state expects to complete work on the rest of the building's interior, from the first floor to its top, the fifth floor, by the end of September.
The plan from Anderson involves restoring parts of the statehouse grounds torn up during construction, including a driveway that used to go around the building, as well as finishing the entry into the building and visitors center.
Senate Majority Leader Jay Emler, a Lindsborg Republican, said he assumes the governor and legislative leaders will authorize the bonds.
"It will be great to get the visitor center and grounds done and have the entire project completed," Emler said. "I think everybody has had as much of this torn-up place as they can stand."
Anderson's memo noted that work on the visitors center and the grounds had been projected to cost $20.5 million. But, he said, architects and the project manager, J.E. Dunn Construction Co., believe the $17.4 million in the proposal is "close enough."
"As project manager, J.E. Dunn is willing to bear that risk and cost," Anderson wrote.
Also, Anderson noted, the state budget approved by legislators this year used revenues from state-owned casinos to pay off some bonds early, freeing up tax dollars for a new round of bonds for the statehouse. The work will be finished by the end of 2013 if the state requests bids by early September, Anderson wrote.
Early estimates put the cost of the entire statehouse renovation at $90 million to $120 million, but that was before legislative leaders added an underground parking garage and approved an expansion of the basement for new offices. The state also discovered unexpected needs for repairing the exterior stone and replacing copper on the roof and dome.

After icing for the Invicta Mustangs in the NIHL South Division 2, Brad Gutridge earned a full time roster spot with the Dynamos in 2014/15 after impressing Head Coach Kevin Parrish when called upon to cover injuries. Gutridge brought a work rate and energy level to the ice that saw his new Coach want to retain his services and, having initially stepped up to provide temporary cover, the skater appeared 42 times for the Mos and was a part of the squad that lifted the NIHL Southern Cup in April 2015.
Last season Brad Gutridge retained his roster spot and enjoyed perhaps his best year in hockey to date – the physical forward missing just two of the team's 50 games and looking assured in the NIHL's top tier. Known more for his work rate, hard hitting and willingness to drop the gloves, Gutridge also got himself on the scoresheet – his first ever strike for the Mos the highlight of the team's 7-3 win against Bracknell Hornets in early January. He would finish the season having notched another and played a role in three more and he will now return for 2016/17 looking to continue his year-on-year improvement in a Dynamos jersey.
"Brad isn't the sort of player that takes all the headlines but he's the sort of player every team needs. He works tirelessly every shift, he looks to sap the energy from the opponent, he will drop the gloves and stick up for his teammates and he is a positive player in the changing room. Last season he showed another dimension to his game with a couple of goals and a number of assists and I think that will give him new found confidence going into the 2016/17 campaign. Brad is a hard working guy, committed to this team and I'm very glad we'll be able to call upon him again when the season gets underway".
Kevin Parrish

Are you ready for less striving and more thriving?
Get my #1 FREE TOOL
for aligning with your own brand of happy.
Get my #1 FREE TOOL
for aligning with your own brand of happy.
Hey, superwoman.
You know who you are. Don't worry, you're not alone. I'm a recovering superwoman myself.
I spent years trying to do and be everything to everyone as a business owner, wife, mother, daughter and friend... Always saying yes, always choosing the practical road, and worrying about everyone else's happiness but my own. I was so busy staying busy (on the hamster wheel of over-achieving and people pleasing) that I settled for "fine" and never took the time to consider what I needed to thrive, to flourish. This eventually left me burnt out. Exhausted. Overwhelmed. Numb.
Ringing any bells?
Are you struggling to "do it all" and feel like you're not doing anything well?
Are you constantly stuck on the busy train with no idea where it's taking you?
Do you feel like you are meant for something "bigger" but can't figure out what?
Are you tired of feeling stressed out, burnt out and like your life is out of your control?
Are your happiness and well-being at the bottom of a never-ending to do list?
These are just the side effects of being modern superwoman, right?
Well, they don't have to be. It's time to take charge and engineer your own happiness and success – on purpose. My passion is helping female entrepreneurs move out of overwhelm and burn-out towards greater balance, productivity, purpose and fulfillment. Because life is short and you deserve to be really, wicked happy.
I help women like you align with your own brand of happy for greater confidence, authenticity and impact. When you show up as your biggest self, big things happen.
Hi, I'm Elizabeth.
I am glad you're here.
Let's Get Started!
I would love to connect with you, hear what's going on in your world and see if we're a good fit to work together.
Schedule a FREE 30 minute call with me to get started.
"Elizabeth is a dynamite coach. She helped me break down my goals and challenges into actionable steps with beautiful patience and a keen insight. I felt so supported, guided and cared for during all of our sessions together. I couldn't wait to speak with her, as she has helped me with some of my biggest breakthroughs. It was such a joy to work with her!"

The UK education system generally emphasizes independent, self-directed study over class time, attendance, and participation. Coursework may be less structured than you are used to in your country and students may be assigned significant outside reading that they will not be tested on until their final exam. Required readings and definite assignments are given throughout the semester are less common. Students can expect an extensive reading list covering all topics to be discussed to be distributed at the start of the course. This will be used for independent research. British students typically consult a large number of sources from the library rather than intensively studying a few books purchased by everyone taking a course. In addition, students are required to write more essays and take fewer objective tests. Because there are usually fewer assignments counting towards the final grade, a final exam or paper carries much more weight. For these reasons, self-discipline, self-motivation, and good time management are very important in keeping up academically.
Modules (remember that in Britain "course" refers to a degree program) often take the following forms: lectures, which are sometimes completely optional; tutorials, in which a small number of students meet with the lecturer; and seminars, larger discussion classes often based upon seminar essays. Students should be aware that there is often less face time with professors, and that tutors are often your most hands-on academic contact. You will have to be self-motivated and proactive.
British students often sit for final exams in May or June that cover the full year's work and determine the grades for the class. With the growth of modularization, however, there has been an increase in the number and variety of modules offered on a semester basis.
The idea of an undergraduate being "undeclared" in their major is not common in the UK. British students tend to specialize in their field of study earlier; sometimes they may even start specializing in their majors during the final year of high school. General education or basic courses are not as common place at UK universities because they have already been covered at the GCSE level. Many faculties assume that a university student has a basic understanding of the concepts that will be addressed in the course. For this reason, it is common for third-year International students to take first-year and second-year courses at a UK university. The curriculum in these courses is not considered introductory or "lower-level."
It may be more difficult to enroll in multiple modules across differing academic departments in the UK. Instead, students may need to focus on choosing classes within one or two departments.
Course Approvals
Check to see if your department has pre-approved courses here. If not, don't worry. You can work with your advisor.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) Oakland Athletics right-hander Andrew Triggs needed a solid performance Wednesday and he delivered.
Triggs gave up two runs on three hits over five-plus innings in a 5-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox. He struck out four and walked none.
Triggs limited the White Sox to one single until two out in the fifth, when Yolmer Sanchez homered. With two vacancies in the Oakland rotation, the outing certainly enhanced Triggs' chance to claim one of them.
''I felt like I had a pretty good feel for most everything in the arsenal,'' Triggs said. ''I made a concerted effort to get the changeup rocking and rolling. It's on its way. I think it's around serviceable right now, but I'd like it to be a little bit better. I was happy with a few of the changeups, save the home run.
''I feel good about everything. The body is bouncing back well. Stuff, I feel like I'm right on schedule,'' he said.
A's manager Bob Melvin called it an ''impressive'' performance.
''He got tested with a bunch of (seven) lefties, too,'' A's manager Bob Melvin said. ''He used both sides of the plate. This was his best outing, so far, his best command, his sharpest breaking ball and good movement on his fastball. He pitched really well.''
Melvin said it is more meaningful coming late in spring training.
''Once you're getting out there to 75 to 80 pitches, you've got a chance to not only evaluate the performance, but there is endurance involved,'' Melvin said.
In Triggs' previous outing he allowed six runs on five hits and two walks over 3 2/3 innings in a loss to Cleveland.
''In my last start, I felt pretty good about my breaking ball, but it was just my fastball command that wasn't great,'' Triggs said. ''That's par for the course in spring. You're going to have at least one of those. I wasn't concerned that it wasn't going to be there the next time out.''
While Triggs started at Southern California, he had been primarily a reliever in the minors. Oakland gave him seven starts as a rookie and he responded with a 1-1 record and a 2.70 ERA, while striking out 23 and walking one over 26 2/3 innings.
Triggs, Jesse Hahn and Rick Alcantara are competing for the final two rotation slots. Hahn, however, yielded seven runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings in his previous start. Alcantara went 1-3 with a 7.25 ERA in five starts last season.
The A's rotation has more questions than answers heading into April.
Staff ace Sonny Gray will begin the season on the disabled list with a lat strain after throwing only two innings March 7 against Arizona. The lefty made 40 throws Wednesday.
''They're like half-speed fastballs, not really pitches at all,'' Gray said.
He said it is more to get the feel of throwing again.
The A's do not want to rush back Gray, who was limited to 22 starts last year because of two injuries. He threw only one inning after Aug. 6 because of a forearm strain.
''What it comes down to is what's an extra two weeks on the front end if you're wind up losing two months on the back end,'' said Gray, who went 14-7 with a 2.73 ERA in 2014. ''When I'm back I want to stay healthy.''
Daniel Mengden, who made 14 starts last year, removed himself from rotation consideration the week before spring training when he fractured his right foot while throwing off the mound in Houston. Mengden, like Gray, will start the season on the disabled list.
Minus Gray, the A's will likely start the season with Kendall Graveman the opening day starter, followed by Sean Manaea and rookie Jharel Cotton.

Pearl Harbor Day – A Look Back at this Infamous Day in History.
This is not my normal post about marketing or building, but I thought it was worth giving a look back at this day an honor those who gave their lives for this great country.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt: Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
That was the beginning of an address that President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave on the day Pearl Harbor was bombed and thousands of American lives were lost.
I come from a line of Veterans and serving military. My Father was drafted and served in the Pacific campaigns during WWII. My brothers and I served during the VietNam conflict and we have three children currently serving, along with nephews that are and have served.
I wanted to just give you a short summary of what went on the dreadful day in December.
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor began at 7:55 am on December 7, 1941. Japanese naval forces compiled for the raid included 4 heavy aircraft carriers, 2 heavy cruisers, 35 submarines, 2 light cruisers, 9 oilers, 2 battleships and 11 destroyers.
The attacking forces came in two waves, the first consisting of 183 aircraft which included 40 torpedo planes, 49 level bombers, 51 dive bombers and 43 fighters.
The second wave included 170 planes, 54 of them level bombers, 80 dive-bombers and 36 fighters. Over 350 Japanese planes were involved in overall attack, which surprised the United States. At the end of the day, over 2,000 men lost their lives.

A warship used mainly for naval bombardment and protection of the fleet against air and surface attacks. Roughly equal to the size of three football fields, they floating fortresses eventually were replaced by aircraft carriers. Battleships were named for states.
Smaller than a battleship, cruisers are mainly deployed to conduct raids and protect members of the task force from enemy ships with naval bombardment and gunfire. Cruisers were named for territories, islands, cities and towns.
Small, highly maneuverable and lightly armored. Usually nicknamed the "tin can," destroyers are used to conduct anti-submarine operations. Destroyers were named for deceased Navy and Marine Corps personnel or distinguished civilians.

I would ask that you take time today to give thanks to a WWII Veteran and let them know this is a very grateful nation. If and when you visit the great state of Hawaii take the time out of your schedule to go visit the Pearl Harbor (Arizona) Memorial feel the pride and sorrow of that day.
I thank you for letting me share this information and show my complete thanks to all the men and women who have served and are serving this great nation.
God Bless America!!

If you're reading this review, you already know what I am going to say, right? While I keep an open mind when watching a film, choosing to judge it for myself rather than let the consensus come to a conclusion for me, I can't lie and say I sat down to watch the new movie The Boy Next Door starring Jennifer Lopez expecting it to be good. I wasn't even expecting it to be mediocre. I anticipated nothing more than awful.
Guess what?
It delivered!
This is a truly terrible film, but I must be completely fair and also give it the recognition it deserves: it's all sorts of fun bad. When I watched the recently released Mortdecai, there was no fun to be had. I felt like my soul had been removed from my body and stomped on throughout it's duration, despite it being labeled a "comedy", where as here The Boy Next Door is considered a thriller and yet I laughed out loud a few times during it. It isn't trying for these laughs, or at least I don't think so. They are achieved because the movie is just so atrocious that it's impossible not to crack a smile now and then.
I enjoy television movies released by the Lifetime network, and I'm not afraid to admit it. There's something about kicking your feet up for some relaxation time and witnessing a predictable train wreck of a film about a girl in high school whose friends play a prank on her, a cautionary tale about teenage pregnancy, or the typical abusive husband story that has been done so many times it has managed to make a serious, important topic unfortunately comical.
Possible titles for these three Lifetime movies:
Betrayal at 16
Far Too Young
No One Said a Word
Therefore, it was impossible for me not to have some fun with The Boy Next Door. I mean, look at the title alone. The Boy Next Door. If that wasn't already used by the people in charge of the production of original films at the Lifetime network, it certainly is crossed off on a list somewhere of potential new ideas, the notebook of some annoyed executive who didn't anticipate an actual theatrical release using it first.
If The Boy Next Door was an attempt at being a serious, thrilling drama, then part of me is baffled about the minds behind it, writer Barbara Curry and director Rob Cohen. I can't imagine anyone watching the finished product and being truly proud of it.
The other part of me, however, is thankful they went ahead with it despite it's awfulness. With all the terrible movies released early in the year, at least I had some fun here.

Unfortunately I am still sick. I am so willing to listen to any brilliant ideas that anyone has about how I am supposed to wake up tomorrow and not have a sore throat. I can't believe how tenacious this freakin' cold has been. I'm actually getting a little, (a lot), scared. I have never in my life had a cold hang on so hard. Maybe. it's because I am getting older, I don't know. I got sick last year and was in and out of the hospital 4 times and they inundated my body with antibiotics and I really don;t want to go there. So, I am trying OJ, Nyquil and a variety of other home remedies. If anyone has ideas I am open. I am going to have to go lay down now because my head is congested and I am tired. I know I said somethings about Mexicans that some of you may not have liked, but I am just speaking what I know. You can do a Vin Diagram on it, if you like, chances are, if the Vin Diagram fits, it's probably true. Peace my friends, I'll catch you on the flip side….

Cepacol spray will numb the throat, but Gargle with warm salt water to help reduce swelling and relieve discomfort:
Gargle at least once each hour with 1 tsp (5 g) of salt dissolved in 8 fl oz of warm water.
If you have postnasal drip, gargle often to prevent more throat irritation.
Use a vaporizer or humidifier in your bedroom.
Do not smoke or use other tobacco products and avoid secondhand smoke.
Use nonprescription throat lozenges.
Some nonprescription throat lozenges, such as Sucrets Maximum Strength or Spec-T, are safe and effective and have medicine (local anesthetic) that numbs the throat to soothe pain.
Regular cough drops may also help.
Thats all I got. 😉
I love you man. I so pissed someone off with my post so I deleted it. Wow, people are so freakin sensitive
Now why would you delete your post on your blog that you wrote because somebody else got pissed off? Thats your blog Jaz….you have a right to say, type, write whatever the hell you want.
People may not believe or think as you do but so what? Fuck 'em…it's your blog. 😉
Because I a don;t like hurting ppl and apparently what I said so offended this person. I don;t lioke hurting anyone
Please explain why you would care what someone else dislikes about what you blog?
Hell I disagreed with what you wrote, but your right to blog it…is your right, and as long as you'er Ms. Jaz Fagan, I'll love your sexy ass.
LO, thank you!
Ok, well thats why I love you….kind heart. 😉
3-4 drops of eucalyptus or pine or lavendser essence ( natural oil ) of a teaspoon of sugar , if you are not allergic 😀
schtiel is a genius, I came to leave a comment to say almost the same thing, but not quite. Here's what I do with essential oils that help me get over congestion: 1 tablespoon almond oil, 2 drops eucalyptus, 2 drops lavendar, 2 drops tea tree oil ~ mix ~ rub into soles of feet, on chest, under arms, put a little up your nose. It will last for at least three applications (three days) and will help your immune system. This was given to me by someone who ran her own essential oils business and I found it really helped me.
Wishing you better 🙂
Thank you Polly! 🙂

In the early 1970s, the cosmologist Carl Sagan designed an information graphic for the Pioneer 10 spacecraft, the first vehicle that would leave our solar system. Created with Frank Drake and Linda Salzman Sagan, this gold-anodized aluminum plaque was designed to visually communicate information about the people that launched the spacecraft to any being that would find it, namely extraterrestrial life. While the word did not exist at the time, this plaque—still travelling in space—is a far-reaching example of an infographic. Infographics are graphical representations of information, statistics, or data that are designed for communication. Infographics—a portmanteau of information and graphics—present complex information clearly and concisely and are found in signs, maps, charts, and displays. They may provide a point-in-time snapshot of a specific instance or detail time-based narratives. Infographics can be found in environments (e.g., signage or museum displays), in print (e.g., newspapers or textbooks), or in digital form (e.g., interactive displays or self-contained narrative animations). At their core, they aim to communicate complex information in visual form quickly and clearly in a variety of settings. Successful infographics draw upon principles from a range of fields including visual communication design, psychology, analytics, usability, and statistics. Through the translation of data into more accessible and approachable forms, infographics improve understanding, decision making, and memory. Additionally, the use of visual forms of communication may open up the information to larger and more diverse audiences. Infographics are a form of visual communication that falls within the encompassing field of information design, which also includes practices like information visualization. While infographics and information visualizations often share histories, content, and processes, they are distinct from each other. Infographics often focus upon discrete and contained amounts of information while information visualizations frequently deal with very large and changing data sets from multiple sources. Infographics often deal with this contained information in very visual and illustrative ways that are specific to the content. While the visual form has been used to communicate for millennia—for example images inside the caves of Lascaux and later on navigational maps—since the mid-18th century, there has been a popularization of the use of infographics. In the late 20th century, newspapers utilized infographics as a means of presenting complex information in an understandable and attractive format. Publications like USA Today, The New York Times, and the United Kingdom's The Guardian have been key in developing and employing infographics to present a wide range of information. The Internet and the growing use of social media have drastically increased the usage of infographics as a means of communicating information in concise visual form. The rise of online tools to create infographics has also driven their usage and led to criticism of their efficacy and value. Importantly, infographics are not just translations of statistical or quantitative data into visual form; ideally, they employ a range of established conventions and practices to put forth a larger argument or reason.
Practical and Technical Publications
A wide range of publications are available concerning the construction of infographics; more recent publications focus specifically on the subject while earlier works are often broader concerning the communication of visual information with sections or practices applicable to the creation and consumption of infographics. This selection is focused on both the production of infographics and gaining a better understanding of contexts related to the use of infographics and information communication. Wong 2010 is aimed at a wide range of practitioners that are interested in constructing infographics, while Mauldin 2015 focuses specifically on librarians and information specialists. Lankow, et al. 2012 and Knaflic 2015 approach the use of infographics primarily through a business and marketing lens. Tufte 2008 is a key work that examines exemplars of information visualization to contextualize and document best practice in visually communicating information. Gobert and van Looveren 2015 presents a collection of information design projects, balanced by interviews with a range of prominent practitioners to provide a useful overview of the discipline. Wildbur and Burke 1998 uses an international best practice approach that is aimed at creators of infographics and other information visualizations. Cairo 2013 presents a compelling and in-depth look at the histories and practices of information graphics.
Cairo, A. 2013. The functional art: An introduction to information graphics and visualization. Berkeley, CA: New Riders.
This book covers significant ground in relation to infographics, communication, and visualization. Broken into four sections (foundations, cognition, practice, and profiles) the publication delves into the theories and practices of information graphics, with a particular emphasis on designing to communicate in a publishing scenario (newspapers, magazines, websites, etc.). It is accessible, richly illustrated, and informative for both the producer and consumer of infographics.
Gobert, I., and J. van Looveren, eds. 2015. Thoughts on designing information. Zürich, Switzerland: Lars Müller.
This edited publication brings together a collection of visual communication projects that explore a range of information design areas; these examples are then balanced and expanded by interviews with sixteen information designers covering a range of practices and fields. The authors also discuss information design education, employing projects from their students at LUCA School of Arts in Brussels, Belgium.
Knaflic, C. N. 2015. Storytelling with data: A data visualization guide for business professionals. Hoboken, NJ: Wiley.
DOI: 10.1002/9781119055259E-mail Citation »
Straightforward, accessible, and concise. While this publication is aimed at business and marketing professionals, it is a valuable resource for anyone interested in how to communicate clearly with visual information and data. Highly pragmatic, the volume is broken into ten chapters and is richly illustrated to assist readers to better understand how to create more effective visual communications.
Lankow, J., J. Ritchie, and R. Crooks. 2012. Infographics: The power of visual storytelling. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley.
In this book the cofounders of the design firm Column Five set out to provide an in-depth understanding of the value, purpose, and possibility around infographics. Although usable by a wide range of audiences, it is most likely beneficial for those interested in the business and marketing possibilities afforded by infographics. Richly illustrated, the publication is straightforward and covers a fair amount of territory.
Mauldin, S. K. C. 2015. Data visualizations and infographics. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield.
A concise how-to book that is primarily aimed at librarians and other information specialists that are interested in creating infographics and visualizations. The book features key examples and tutorials linked to the use of a variety of software packages including many online, free tools.
Tufte, E. R. 2008. Envisioning information. Cheshire, CT: Graphics Press.
In his second general audience book, Tufte dissects the unique requirements of moving from what he terms the flatlands—paper and the computer screen— to information visualizations that effectively communicate complex data. His most design-orientated book, Envisioning Information employs an array of maps, diagrams, interfaces, graphics, tables, and charts to provide practical advice on visually communicating complex ideas and materials.
Wildbur, P., and M. W. Burke. 1998. Information graphics: Innovative solutions in contemporary design. London: Thames and Hudson.
Employing a designer-focused approach, this publication draws upon a wide range of international material to identify how to organize and present information. Organized into six sections that break down different categories of information graphics, each section contains case studies that examine specific projects in detail.
Wong, D. M. 2010. The Wall Street Journal guide to information graphics: The dos and don'ts of presenting data, facts, and figures. New York: W. W. Norton.
A pragmatic and highly useful book for designers of infographics. The author has a long history of working with data and information—most notably with The Wall Street Journal—and in this book, documents how to communicate visual information effectively. Valuable as a practical reference tool.

Broken Legions is a set of fantasy skirmish rules for a war unknown to history, fought in the shadows of the Roman Empire. Various factions recruit small warbands to fight in tight, scenario-driven battles that could secure the mystical power to defend or crush Rome. A points system allows factions to easily build a warband, and mercenaries and free agents may also be hired to bolster a force. Heroes and leaders may possess a range of skills, traits and magical abilities, but a henchman's blade can be just as sharp, and a campaign can see even the lowliest henchman become a hero of renown

17 Long Island highway bridges in need of repair, authorities say
Of Long Island?s 688 highway bridges, transportation authorities say 17 are structurally deficient and 426 are functionally obsolete.
The New York State Department of Transportation suggests that neither classification means the bridges are unsafe for the public, however they do say the structurally deficient bridges are in need of repair in the future.
"Bridges that are open to traffic are safe," DOT Public Information Officer Eileen Peters said. "If a bridge is not safe, it will be closed immediately."
The DOT is required to inspect every highway bridge at least once every two years in New York State, except toll bridges -- which are inspected by the agency collecting the toll.
The bridges are scored on a scale of one to seven, seven being the bridge is new and in good condition. If a bridge receives a score of less than five, they are considered deficient and can be classified as either structurally deficient or functionally obsolete.
Bridges that are classified as structurally deficient often require a weight limit in order to remain open. Bridges that are classified as functionally obsolete bridges are unable to accommodate the current traffic flow either because they are too narrow, too low, or lack a shoulder.
Overall, New York State has 2,016 structurally deficient and 4,735 functionally obsolete bridges, according to the DOT. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand announced June 2 that she plans to amend a highway bill that will allow more federal funding to be spent by local governments to repair bridges in need.
"My amendment will finally give states the flexibility to spend federal transportation dollars where they?re needed most, including thousands of locally-owned bridges across the state," Gillibrand said in a statement. "This is among my priorities for the federal transportation spending bill we'll pass this year, and I will continue to fight to ensure that New York receives the resources it needs to maintain and improve our critical infrastructure."
"We have worked closely with Senator Gillibrand on this bill and fully support her efforts to make federal funding available for local bridges," Peters said. "This bill does not attempt to address the level of transportation infrastructure funding, which is something Congress has been working on for several years."
Dr. Manuel Miranda, a civil engineering associate professor at Hofstra University who studies structural design and mechanics, said the funding problems are the main reasons for the existence of outdated bridges.
"Long Island's bridges suffer from similar issues affecting the state's and the nation's infrastructure," Miranda said. "The root cause of this is insufficient funding for maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and replacement when necessary. This is not just a one-time thing but needs to be a sustained investment over long periods of time."
Out of the 323 bridges in Nassau County, 10 are structurally deficient and 224 are functionally obsolete. Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano expressed support of Gillibrand?s proposed amendment.
"We welcome Senator Gillibrand's advocacy as such an investment will strengthen our critical transportation infrastructure," Mangano said.
Suffolk County, with 365 bridges, has seven that are structurally deficient and 202 that are functionally obsolete. Vanessa B. Streeter, with Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone?s office, said the bridges that are monitored by the county have either been replaced or are scheduled to be repaired.
"Of the eight structurally deficient bridges in the geographical boundaries of Suffolk County only two are under the jurisdiction of Suffolk County," Streeter said. "And one structure was completely replaced in 2014 to 2015 and then the other is included in a project that will go out to bid this fall and constructions and repairs will begin the following spring or summer."

This website covers the evidence base and policy rationale for Minimum Unit Pricing.
Guidance for retailers and businesses on the implementation of the policy is available at www.minimumunitpricing.scot
We are aware of a technical issue related to the interpretation of how Minimum Unit Pricing operates in respect of trade sales by wholesalers which have opted, for whatever reason, to hold a premises licence.
There are differing views held by licensing lawyers and the licensing community on the application of the new mandatory condition of Minimum Unit Pricing to premises licences as regards wholesalers and trade sales.
We consider that a legislative change is required in order to clarify the situation. This would be achieved by SSI following consultation which will satisfy the terms of regulation 9 of EU Regulation No. 178/2002.
A consultation will be issued shortly.
Wholesalers selling to trade only are not required to hold a premises licence and so Minimum Unit Pricing does not apply.
Wholesalers also selling to the public require a premises licence, and all sales (other than to a person for the purposes of their trade) must comply with Minimum Unit Pricing.
The alcohol problem in Scotland is so significant that ground breaking measures are required.
Given the link between consumption and harm and evidence that affordability is one of the drivers of increased consumption, addressing price is an important element of any long-term strategy.
Alcohol is now 60 per cent more affordable in the UK than it was in 1980. It is possible in Scotland today to exceed the new lower risk guidelines for alcohol (14 units per week) for around £2.50. This is an unacceptable position and we have a responsibility to address this problem.
There is strong international evidence that tackling price - as part of a package of measures, including education and diversion - can help reduce alcohol consumption and related harm.
The Scottish Parliament passed legislation in 2012, the Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Act 2012, which allows the Scottish Ministers to introduce a system of Minimum Unit Pricing for alcohol. The legislation was then challenged in court by some parts of the alcohol industry and that has delayed the implementation of this important policy. On 15 November 2017, the UK Supreme Court confirmed that the legislation which allows Minimum Unit Pricing to be introduced is lawful. The judgment can be found on the following link https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/docs/uksc-2017-0025-judgment.pdf .
Before introducing the Minimum Unit Price, Scottish Ministers ran a public consultation to gather views from people, businesses, public bodies and interested parties about the Scottish Government's preferred price of 50 pence per unit of alcohol. This ran from 1 December 2017 to 26 January 2018. A report analysing the responses to the consultation was published on 26 February 2018 and is available at https://consult.gov.scot/alcohol-policy/minimum-unit-pricing.
The consultation received a total number of 130 responses , 70 of these responded to the proposed price directly. Of these 70, 52 (74.3%) indicated that they are in favour of the 50 pence Minimum Unit Price. Sixty-four of the 70 respondents (91.4%) who commented on the proposed price are either in favour of a 50 pence per unit minimum price or a higher Minimum Unit Price.
Taking account of a range of factors, including the responses to this consultation, the Scottish Government concluded that a Minimum Unit Price of 50 pence per unit provides a proportionate response to tackling alcohol misuse, as it strikes a reasonable balance between public health and social benefits and intervention in the market.
The legislation commencing Parliament's formal consideration of the 50 pence price was laid on Thursday 1 March 2018. This was considered by the Health & Sport Committee on 17 April and unanimously approved by full Parliamentary vote on 25 April.
Minimum Unit Pricing was implemented on 1 May 2018.
Research into differing price policy options concluded that a minimum unit price is the most effective of a range of policy options. It has been recommended as a way of increasing the price of drinks such as own-brand spirits and white cider, which have high alcohol content but are usually very cheap.
Minimum unit pricing would simply set a floor price for a unit of alcohol, meaning it can't be sold for lower than that. The more alcohol a drink contains, the stronger it is and therefore the more expensive it will be.
Minimum unit pricing is not a tax; it is a targeted way of making sure alcohol is sold at a sensible price.
Minimum unit pricing will impact most on harmful drinkers - those who regularly drink more than the lower risk drinking guidelines. Those who drink within the lower risk guidelines will only be marginally affected simply because they only consume a small amount of alcohol and also because they do not tend to buy as much of the cheaper alcohol that would be most affected by a minimum unit price.
The small increase in the cost of alcohol to moderate drinkers has to be seen in the context of the total costs of alcohol misuse - estimates suggest around £900 per year for every adult in Scotland.
Almost all drinks bought in the pub are already sold well above any likely minimum price, so they wouldn't be affected. The minimum unit price of 50p per unit will mostly affect cheap white ciders and value spirits with high alcohol content which tend to be favoured by harmful drinkers.
The most recent research by the University of Sheffield (April 2016) estimated that the proposed minimum price of 50p per unit would result in the following benefits:
The modelling shows that minimum unit pricing is targeted with the greatest benefit falling on harmful drinkers, and particularily those living in poverty.
Some people may not feel that they are part of Scotland's alcohol problem, but through the introduction of minimum unit pricing, everyone will feel the economic and social benefits of the solution through healthier, happier, safer families and communities.
This landmark policy is supported by many organisations and is a significant step forward in the Scottish Government's efforts to tackle Scotland's unhealthy relationship with alcohol.

'Holidays'....sort of
They call it 'Holidays' but it's really more like 'non contact time' (for me at least). These holidays I had 2 multitouch books projects that I am working on to complete and publish on the iTunes Store (which I can tick off which is great cause it's only Wednesday). At the end of the 'holidays' I am presenting two Keynotes at 'Early Years' conferences in Australia so I have the presentations to do for that and then a week lately are presenting at a Leadership conference in Auckland so I have the slides to have ready for that by the end of next week too. I have to say though I absolutely love my job and the 'change of routine' is in fact a holiday, waking up and not having to get straight out of bed (because you still wake up when your alarm would usually goes off anyway, of course) and being able to go for a walk when its daylight. I managed to grab a couple of hours yesterday to browse a local bookstore (which had a buy one get one half price - bonus) so came home armed with gorgeous picture books to support next terms Maker space rotations.
Happy Holidays everyone.

Six photographers from Southeast Asia were among the finalists of the Sovereign Asian Art Prize 2014.
Annually awarded to one of thirty artists shortlisted for its prestigious first-place award, the Sovereign Asian Art Prize draws from among the best artists in Asia. Six photographers from Southeast Asian countries especially distinguished themselves in the Prize's tenth edition.
Established in 2003 by the Sovereign Art Foundation – a Hong Kong-based charity that provides arts-oriented rehabilitation, education and therapy to children in need – the Sovereign Asian Art Prize is awarded annually to one of thirty artists. The thirty finalists, nominated by a panel of experts in the field of Asian art, compete for the prestigious first-place prize of USD30,000.
The finalists for the 2013-2014 edition of the prize, representing twelve territories across Asia, were shortlisted from amongst 280 nominees. Their work was shown at the Rotunda in Hong Kong from 28 April to 8 May 2014. Twenty-nine of these artworks (all except the winning piece) were auctioned off at a gala dinner by Christie's on 9 May 2014, with all proceeds divided between the artists and the charity partners of the Foundation.
Six photographers shortlisted for the prize especially stood out. Although they live and work in different places, each explores what the visible world conceals, using his or her camera to uncover revenant traces of guilt, hypocrisy and recrimination in what might otherwise seem a placidly benign environment – a perfectly "normal" and therefore acceptable surface. While four of the six photographers were born in Singapore, the uniqueness of their respective practices cannot be overlooked.
Sarah Choo Jing
Sarah Choo Jing (b. 1990, Singapore) attended the School of Art, Design & Media at Nanyang Technological Universityand currently resides in London, where she is completing her MFA in Fine Art Media at the Slade School of Media.
Among other honours, she represented Singapore in the Santa Fe International New Media Festival in New Mexico, and in 2013 was awarded the Lee Kuan Yew Gold Medal Award and the Kwek Leng Joo Prize of Excellence in Still Photography. She was also selected as the Photographer of the Year in the fine art photography category at the 4th International Pollux Awards.
Sarah Choo Jing was also the winner of the ICON de Martell Cordon Bleu 2013. ARTINFO quotes Agnes de Gouvion Saint-Cyr, a member of the jury, as saying that Choo's works "masterfully address the theme of solitude with her multidisciplinary approach of [sic] photography."

Big news for Tasmanian fly fishers, and for Tasmania's waterways: a big wet has just tracked down eastern Australia, arriving in Tasmania with some massive rainfall totals. Rainfall totals include more than 220mm in the headwaters of the Mersey, Meander and South Esk rivers, generating major flood levels. The North Esk is already at an all-time record height, and rising, and there is some belief that Launceston will be subjected to a one in a hundred year flood.
The Mersey River is experiencing a massive flood event, with river heights of +10 metres on the normal levels we are used to as anglers. This quick iPhone pic from RiverFly guide Peter Broomhall puts this monstrous flood in perspective: this is the Merseylea floodplain, including Hoggs Bridge which is completely submerged near the poplar trees. This same bridge is usually six metres above the waterline!
The recovery of our Hydro-lake levels is in full swing, with Great Lake and Arthurs Lake currently receiving significant inflows. Online readings show that Great Lake has received more than 350mm in the past fourteen days, with inflows peaking at an amazing 7000ML/day from Pine Lake Rivulet. The lake itself has risen closed to one metre in the last 24 hours, while Arthurs Lake has risen 800mm. There may be no better time to chase flood feeders along the edges of Great Lake, once the roads are clear and safe for travel!

Step 1Combine the flour and sugar in a food processor or mixer. With the machine running, slowly add the butter, and process or mix until you have a fine meal. Mix together the yolks and the cream, and slowly add it into the flour mixture. Process until the dough just starts to come together.
Step 2Turn the dough onto a floured work surface; workwith the heel of your palm until it comes together flat and smooth. Form the dough into 8 small disks. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours.
Step 3Butter 8 (4-inch) tart pans. (If you only have 4 pans, you can make 4 shells at a time.) Roll the disks out to 1/8 inch thick. Form the dough into the tart pans. Use a rolling pan to roll over the tops of the pans until the excess dough drops from the sides. Press the dough gently to the sides of the pans. You must chill and weigh down the dough. The easiest way is by spraying a coffee filter with cooking spray and filling it with dried beans, then placing it on top of the pastry dough. Chill the shells for at least another 2 hours.
Step 4Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
Step 5Bake the shells (coffee-filter bags and beans still on top) until they become light amber, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the coffee filters and let the shells cool to room temperature. Carefully remove the shells from the pans.
Step 1Beat the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is pale and forms ribbons when the beaters are lifted from the bowl. Sift in the cornstarch and flour, mixing well.
Step 2Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Split and scrape the vanilla bean and place in the milk. Once the milk comes to a boil, remove the bean, then slowly whisk about 1/4 of the milk into the egg mixture, then whisk rapidly to incorporate and not curdle the eggs. Return the mixture to the milk in the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes thick and bubbles, 6 to 8 minutes. Cover the cream with plastic wrap, pressing it flat across the cream's surface so no skin forms, and refrigerate 1 hour.
Step 1Place the cream, butter and vanilla bean in a saucepan over low heat until the butter melts. Set aside.
Step 2Heat the corn syrup in a deep, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until it just starts to bubble, about 3 minutes, then slowly sprinkle in the sugar, stirring with a wooden spoon. Once the sugar has been incorporated, stir a bit slower, allowing the mix to become a very light amber, then straw-colored, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Step 3Remove the bean from the cream mixture and discard; add the cream mixture to the corn syrup mixture, being careful not to burn yourself from the splattering. Return the sauce to high heat and cook until the sugar completely dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 4Pour the sauce into a heat-proof container, stirring once or twice over the next 5 minutes to prevent further cooking.
Step 1Place about 1 tablespoon of the Pastry Cream in the bottom of each shell. In a large mixing bowl, fold the remaining Pastry Cream in with 3/4 of the whipped cream. Gently fold in the bananas. Fill each shell just to the top. Place a large dollop of the whipped cream on top to cover.
Step 2Place the Caramel Sauce in a squeeze bottle, or use a metal spoon to make a zig-zag of sauce across each plate. Place the pies on top. Drizzle or squeeze the sauce in a zig-zag on top of each pie.

High School Students and Their Use of the Web for Research Wonder how high school students are using the Web for research? If you are a school library media specialist at the high school level, you probably already know. If you work in academia, you will find out soon.
The blogged site today discusses a study on high school students and their use fo the Web for research. It reads:
"The emergence of the World Wide Web has created another information resource for conducting research. The World Wide Web is a wonderful tool for individuals and organizations that want to reach large numbers of people. It is also a great resource for finding information on current events. However, the lack of traditional gate keeping that print material has used to filter information, such as editors and peer reviewing, is for the most part missing on the World Wide Web. This puts the users of the Web in the position of having to be their own gatekeepers of information. This has presented challenges in particular to students who are trying to find scholarly or factual information on the Web who are not necessarily able to evaluate the information they find. More bothersome is the fact that many students are not aware of proper methods of evaluating the Web and may not be aware that they need to do so.
A study was conducted in the Spring of 2000 of a group of high school students. The study consisted of interviewing students about how they used the World Wide Web to find information for school assignments. In particular, the students were asked how they went about finding information and how they knew if the information they found on the Web was scholarly or factual. It was hoped that the results of this study would help school, public and academic librarians understand how high school students use the Web in research. School and public librarians are dealing with this group now. Within a few years, all of the high school students in the United States will be of college age. This means that academic librarians will be dealing with Web evaluation skills of these students soon. By understanding how high school students evaluate the Web, it will help academic librarians prepare to deal with the research needs of the students. The results of the study indicated that while high school students are still using libraries, they are also using the Web and their ability to evaluate the information they find on the Web is weak."

When i got back from traveling and started working a normal 9-5 job again i didn't quite know what to do with myself! Before i went away i had been working 3 jobs (68hours a week) to save up. So coming home and having all this spare time in the evening left me craving a new hobby! My obsession with Instagram helped me discover this fantastic girl called Eva, she has the most amazing blog all about nail art, and she's just incredible! I've never know anyone to create such intricate details on such a small surface! Her blog is in Danish, but she's got everything covered and has a link you can click on that translate it all for you! Anyway, obsessive rant over! She inspired me to try out some designs. I should start by saying i was never good at art, drawing or painting so why i thought i would find this easy is completely beyond me! But i've always loved doing my nails, its something my mum and i used to do together when i was little and over time had developed what i thought was a fairly steady hand. Heres a couple of examples of bits i was pretty proud of!!
My Snow man
Even managed a really mini snow man on my sister!
So after pretending to be a grown up for a while over Christmas, and having "normal" nails, i thought i would try a design i saw on pintrest the other day. I think its cute, and don't think i did a bad job considering its been a while! I used 3 varnishes for this design, one of which i actually obtaining while in thailand so you wont be able to get your mits on that one, but i'm sure you can get one real similar over here!
I'm happy with it! If anyone has any tips or nail art ideas id love to hear them! And make sure you check out the blog i mentioned above, it really is GREAT!
