The Metropolitan Transportation Authority Board of Directors will meet to review objections to a proposed tunnel under Beverly Hills High School that would allow the so-called Subway to the Sea to reach Century City.
The high school and Beverly Hills city officials requested today's public hearing because they believe placing the tunnel under the campus would be dangerous.
Metro has recommended a Century City station at Constellation Boulevard and Avenue of the Stars over an alternative stop at Santa Monica Boulevard and Century Park East, requiring the subway to go under the high school. The Century City Chamber of Commerce and other neighborhood groups
On April 26, the Metro board three subway stops from Wilshire Boulevard and Western Avenue to Wilshire and La Cienega Boulevard, but postponed its decision on stops in Beverly Hills, Century City, Westwood and the Veterans Administration campus until the public hearing was held.
When the extension is completed, riders would be able to travel from downtown Los Angeles to Westwood in 25 minutes, according to Metro officials.
For updates from today's 1 p.m. meeting, visit Beverly Hills Patch and Westwood-Century City Patch.
The meeting begins at 1:30 p.m. in the third floor boardroom at One Gateway Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90012-2952.

Though there's no cure for amyloidosis, treatment may help manage signs and symptoms and limit further production of amyloid protein.
Medicines. Therapies include melphalan (Alkeran) or cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) — chemotherapy agents that are also used to treat certain types of cancer — and dexamethasone, a corticosteroid used for its anti-inflammatory effects. These drugs interrupt the growth of the abnormal cells that produce amyloid protein.
Researchers are investigating other types of chemotherapy regimens for amyloidosis. Several medications that are used in the treatment of multiple myeloma are being tested to see if they're effective in treating amyloidosis. These include bortezomib (Velcade), thalidomide (Thalomid) and a thalidomide derivative called lenalidomide (Revlimid). These drugs may be used alone or in combination with dexamethasone.
Ask your doctor what clinical trials may be available to you. Undergoing chemotherapy for amyloidosis may cause side effects similar to those of chemotherapy for cancer treatment, such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, infection and extreme fatigue.
If you have secondary amyloidosis, the goal of therapy is to treat the underlying condition — for example, taking an anti-inflammatory medication for inflammatory arthritis.
For hereditary amyloidosis, one possible therapy may be liver transplantation because the protein that causes this form of amyloidosis is made in the liver. In addition, researchers are investigating new drugs to stop the progression of inherited amyloidosis.
For example, if amyloidosis affects your heart or kidneys, you may be asked to follow a low-salt diet to control fluid retention. Or your doctor may prescribe diuretics and other medications. In some cases, your doctor might prescribe medication for pain control.
If any of your organs are severely damaged from amyloid deposits, you may need an organ transplant. Although such a transplant won't cure you because amyloid deposits could potentially collect in the new organ as well, a transplant could prolong your life.

Wayland's Weston Gets Systemd Notification Support
Published on 04 June 2013 11:09 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
35 Comments
Wayland's Weston system compositor has been hooked up to systemd so it can be used for client notification support.
In order to allow Weston to signal when it's available for connections by clients, Ander Conselvan de Oliveira of Intel is working on integrating systemd support for handling these notifications.
For now this systemd support is only available if the libsystemd-daemon is available without Wayland/Weston having a hard dependency on systemd at this time.
The systemd notification support can be found for now on the
wayland-devel mailing list

Killing Seven to Save One
Now is a good time for abortion proponents and opponents to shut up.
You have to imagine, first, the seven babies curled and fitted around each other like puppies in a basket. Each has his or her separate water-filled sac, and within these sacs they rest or exercise, sometimes jostling their neighbors. At this age their limbs appear long and fingers bony, because acquiring baby fat is next month's job. If there had been more room to grow, each would be about 10 inches tall.
There is not enough room; it's not good for there to be so many. But the mother wanted children so much that she used drugs to get them, and she wound up getting as many as she could hold. The doctor offered to terminate a few lives in order to enhance others, but she refused. She wanted all her babies.
Now add something to the picture: the babies are diseased. An infection spread from the mother to her children, and bacteria races through their frail bodies. No medication can heal them. The illness teeming in the mother's womb makes her weaker day by day. Death is in sight--for eight, or only seven.
The mother, it is said, will recover. It is one of nature's cruder jokes that at a minimum we imagine she will feel empty.
An extraordinary situation like this lies so far outside the typical abortion scenario as to stall reflexive polarization. Twenty-seven years after Roe v. Wade, we have our default switches pretty much set; at the very word "abortion" we click into position-defense mode.
But here are unique, almost bizarre variables, to confound even the most programmed thinker. The concept of seven unborn babies in itself is simultaneously appealing and unsettling. Add the information that all seven are wracked with infection--the womb itself bursting with illness--and the image becomes revolting. Yet we could also empathize with the misery of these sick children, each suffering in a separate capsule, never in this life to touch another human being.

NORMAN — The 60 uncounted absentee ballots that were found by Cleveland County Election Board workers Thursday were in a locked room overnight and had inadvertently been mixed in with a box of envelopes, election board officials said today.
Election Board secretary Jim Williams and members Hal Spake and Lisa Shrieves began the process of opening each envelope and checking the votes. The only local race with a close enough margin to be affected by the ballots is the House District 45 seat won by incumbent state Rep. Aaron Stiles, a Republican.
Of the found absentees, only three were deemed to be in District 45. Roberts gained 1 vote and Stiles gained 2.
Officials said there were 527 provisional ballots cast on Tuesday and 110 were deemed eligible.
Stiles' challenger, Democrat Paula Roberts, lost by 18 votes in Tuesday's election. Roberts, a teacher in Norman, served as election board secretary before being succeeded by Williams.
Provisional ballots are cast by voters who lack the required identification at the polls. Officials said 24 of the provisional ballots were in District 45.
Workers allow provisional voters to sign a sworn affidavit and allowed to vote. Those votes are included in the final count if research shows they are legally registered in the precinct.

TRAVERSE CITY -- Not much goes on in downtown Traverse City these days without the fingerprints of Todd McMillen somewhere nearby.
McMillen, owner of McMillen's Creative Custom Framing on East Front Street, was honored Thursday night with the 17th annual Lyle DeYoung Downtown Achievement Award. It was presented at the annual dinner of the Downtown Traverse City Association held at the City Opera House.
"He's been involved in a lot of different efforts downtown," said Rob Bacigalupi, deputy director of the city's Downtown Development Authority. "He's really been a leader."
McMillen was raised in Gaylord and attended Northwestern Michigan College and the Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids. He was in his early 20s when he opened his store in the 400 block of East Front Street more than 20 years ago, before moving it to its present location at 326 E. Front St. several years later.
Bacigalupi said McMillen soon immersed himself in several volunteer and advocacy roles for downtown. He founded the Downtown Art Walk and the district's Public Art Committee, and sponsored the Downtown Art Fair Series. He's also served on the board of the DTCA for four years, including the last two years as president, and was named president for the coming year.
McMillen's also donated time and money to other local causes including Goodwill and the Dennos Museum Center. He's been recognized as a Volunteer of the Year by Goodwill, and an alumnus of the year by NMC.
Bacigalupi said McMillen also has served as a bridge in the changing generations of downtown business owners. He was a contemporary of past DeYoung Award winners like Bruce Rogers (1994) and Jim Lutfy (2001), but also helps mentor a new, younger set of downtown entrepreneurs. The presentation was made by last year's award winner, Kay Jerome, who called McMillen "truly the youngest old merchant downtown" and an "obvious choice" for the award.
One of McMillen's nominations for the award described him as "creative, energetic and enthusiastic," and noted that his company's Web site devotes nearly as much space to the downtown as it does to his business.
The DTCA also recognized outgoing board members Jim Valesano, Amy Parker and Michele Joubran. Board members for next year also include Brian Kluzak, Dave Leonhard, Pam Marsh, Sarah Jane Bye, Stacy Sheren-Colombo, James C. Smith, Amy Joslin and Jerome.

As a supervisory special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Jeff Brown, MBA 11, knows how to tackle the bad guys. But now hes tackling finance, accounting, and other courses through the Ross Executive MBA Program in order to bring a new weapon to the table: a general management education.
Jeffs career in law enforcement began with police departments in both Michigan and Arizona. He worked as a detective and an undercover officer before joining the FBI in St. Louis, where he investigated violent crimes, drugs, gangs, and domestic terrorism. After a stint in the bureaus Washington, D.C.-based counterterrorism division, Jeff now heads one of the Detroit offices counterterrorism squads. He also is responsible for the supervision and program management of the Joint Terrorism Task Force. Jeffs role involves him not only in protecting the United States, but in combating terrorism activities around the globe. Consequently, his job requires frequent travel, high stress, and high stakes. But nine months into the EMBA Program, Jeff says Ross is positioning him to be a better leader poised to take the next step on his professional track.
In the following Q&A, Jeff discusses the transition to being a student again, how the FBI supports and sponsors him, and how he juggles it all.
What made you think you wanted an MBA?
Its always been a personal goal to get an MBA from the University of Michigan. Being a Michigander and growing up here, it was always THE school. In addition, the reputation that Ross has worldwide was another piece of my decision.
The FBI is run like a business. Im currently involved in a couple of different projects that reflect more of the business side of the FBI, so for me it was a natural transition into a program like this.
What training in particular did you think you needed?
Theres the overarching piece of the MBA finance, accounting, operations management that directly applies to the bureau. And then Ross adds the Personal Development Program (PDP) sessions, which help you develop as a leader. That piece also applies directly to the FBI.
The project Im currently involved with is the field administrative work group, and what were trying to do is streamline some of the bureaus processes. This group travels around the nation to different field offices, trying to get a better handle on some of the administrative issues that impact an agents workload and how to alleviate them.
Have you found yourself managing your team differently since you started the program?
Absolutely. With the PDP session, learning more about myself and my leadership style has definitely made me more aware of my interactions with the people that work with me and for me.
My job is heavy on leadership. Being a supervisor of a squad requires daily interaction with my team, and multitasking the many issues we face as a team is a constant. Ive really been able to take the things that Ive learned thus far in the program and apply them in my day-to-day operations.
What was the biggest learning curve for you coming into the program?
Probably the intensity of the program. Weve got deliverables that are due, weve got outside-the-classroom team meetings that we do several times a week, and weve got our own studying and prep to do. Going into it I was told to expect to study about 15 hours a week, and that has proven true.
After being out of school so long, it can be hard to get back into that learning mode. When youre in a job, you get comfortable and things just become routine. I took myself out of that comfort zone and was thrust into a situation where learning new material is a constant challenge.
How did you convince the FBI to sponsor you through the EMBA Program?
The FBI supports employees going back to further their education and encourages it by offering different programs. In my supervisory role, I was able to relate how the MBA can help me become a better supervisor. I focused on the leadership piece that the PDP offers, and then followed with aspects of the curriculum that directly relate to my work as an FBI agent.
Talk about the work-life-school balance.
Time away from the kids has been the most challenging part. My work day is a long one anywhere from 10-12 hours. Then I go home, lock myself into my home office, and study for several hours each night. Its been challenging, but I try to make the downtime I have special for the kids by doing quality things with them. It took a real family commitment for me to even come back to school and participate in the program. But Im hoping that at the end, the investment of time and energy that weve put into this is only going to expand me as a person, professionally and personally.
In terms of classes and faculty, does anyone in particular stand out?
The caliber of the professors is top-notch. When weve got questions whether were on another continent or here in Michigan theyve always been really accessible and accommodating. They are true professionals and experts in their respective disciplines.
The Michigan brand is so well-known around the world. Its a top-tier business school, and when you hear U-M, you know youre getting the top quality professors to go along with it.
So its been a sacrifice, but so far, so good?
Absolutely. No looking back and thinking, Why did I do this? And meeting and working with the diverse group of people we have in our class has been a tremendous advantage of the Ross EMBA Program. What that team-building brings, and what that team atmosphere brings, are invaluable.

RALEIGH — The state Alcohol Law Enforcement Division has charged a 21-year-old man with purchasing 60 beers for underage teens at a Johnston County party last month, including the driver involved in a crash that killed an 18-year-old high school student.
The agency also filed charges against a 16-year-old who hosted the party where agents say the underage drinking took place. Then they went further and tracked down other teenagers who were at the party, charging nine of them with having alcohol and, in some cases, marijuana at the party.
ALE announced the charges Thursday, including a warning to teens who attend events where underage drinking occurs.
Kids should know that even though the police dont show up at the party they can still be charged, said Jeff Lasater, special agent in charge of ALE in Raleigh. Similar parties go on all the time all over Wake and Johnston counties. But we dont find out about them until something like this happens.
Soon after the party ended in the early hours of Feb. 16, one of the teens, Cleveland High School student William Lee Tippett, 18, of Garner died after he was thrown from a speeding pickup truck which ran off the road and overturned several times, according to the Highway Patrol.
State troopers charged the driver of the Ford pickup, Bryan Davis Gilmore, 17, of Smithfield with felony death by motor vehicle, driving while impaired, driving after consuming alcohol while younger than 21 years of age and reckless driving.
State troopers say the truck Gilmore was driving was traveling about 85 mph on Josephine Road in the Cleveland community when it ran off the right side of the road. Investigators say Gilmore overcorrected and the truck overturned several times, causing Tippett to be ejected and flung about 20 feet into the road. Tippett died at the scene. The truck traveled about 242 feet and came to a rest upside-down on the side of the road.
The posted speed limit on Josephine Road is 45 mph, according to the Highway Patrols accident report.
The investigating trooper did not find evidence of alcohol in the cab of the truck, but the officer did notice a lot of Solo-type cups in the vehicle, said Lasater.
There were no open or closed (alcohol) containers, Lasater added. Still, the trooper suspected drugs or alcohol was a factor in the crash and ALE was notified.
The accident occurred about 3 a.m. Johnston County emergency workers transported Gilmore and Joseph Cole Brewer, 16, of Clayton to WakeMed in Raleigh. An ALE agent visited the hospital soon after the teens arrived, Lasater said.
The investigation started that morning at the hospital, Lasater said. One of our agents went to talk with both young men.
The ALE spokesman said Gilmore had already been charged and did not reveal much, but the other teen, Brewer, told them that they had just left a party that he hosted at his home on Garnet Lane in Clayton. Brewer also named other teens who attended the party.
The agent returned to the hospital around noon, Lasater said.
Other youngsters agreed to be interviewed, he said. Of the 15 we spoke to, the great majority admitted to drinking.
Lasater said ALE was able to identify most of the 15 teens through a series of interviews, in which one person would name a friend who was at the party. That person would then name another and so on.
ALE agents said they learned that Carl Jerome Watson, 21, of Clayton purchased the alcohol and that some of the high-school students gave him money to cover the costs of the beer.
According to ALE, Watson was riding in Gilmores pickup truck and Brewer was a passenger when Watson purchased an 18-pack of Bud Lite, an 18-pack of Busch Lite and an 18-pack of Natural Lite from Howards Mini Mart in Clayton. The pickup truck made a second stop at the Fiddle Stix convenience store on N.C. 42 in Clayton, where Watson purchased an additional 12 pack of Bud Lite, according to ALE.
Theres a video in the case of Mr. Watson purchasing beer, Lasater said.
ALE agents charged Watson with 16 counts of aiding and abetting underage persons in possessing more than 60 malt beverages on the evening of Feb. 15, hours before the fatal crash.
Just over a year ago, police asked ALE agents to trace the source of alcohol at a party in North Raleigh where teenagers had been drinking. One of the teens, 17-year-old Millbrook High School student Elizabeth Molloy, was killed soon after leaving the party when the Jeep SUV in which she was riding crashed into a tree off Rainwater Road.
Police charged the Jeeps driver, Garrett Prince, 16, with felony death by vehicle, careless and reckless driving, speeding, possession of alcohol and marijuana and driving while impaired.
ALE agents determined that Prince and Molloy had persuaded a 21-year-old man to purchase two 1.75-liter bottles of Bacardi Dragon Berry rum for them. They also charged the host of the party.

Bilal On World Cafe
Growing up in Philadelphia, Bilal Oliver (better known as Bilal) lived in a world full of church music, soul and jazz. Taking his passion to New York, he performed frequently at night clubs, eventually forming strong relationships with artists such as Common, The Roots, Q-Tip and J Dilla.
Labeling his music as "jazz-fusion/rock type funk," the genre-hopping crooner released his sophomore album Airtight's Revenge last year — his first record in nine years. Interscope infamously shelved 2006's Love For Sale when it leaked online.
"[Common] started calling me Airtight and it kind of stuck," Oliver tells World Cafe host David Dye about the album title. "The revenge is talking about my last record that was bootlegged. It never came out, but it started a lot of buzz underground.
"Even though it was bootlegged, the revenge is that we're still going strong." Copyright 2011 WXPN-FM. To see more, visit http://www.xpn.org/.

KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Two Kanawha County shopping centers are ready to go to the auction block.
"I'd just like to see some of the buildings that are empty to be filled up," Christine Toney, the manager of Fiesta, said.
Fiesta is a hair and tanning salon at the Dunbar Village shopping center. She says it has seen better days.
"I grew up here as a child, and this shopping plaza was really booming," she said.
A few years and a few empty stores later, Toney feels lucky to have loyal customers.
"We do very good business here, but we would like to see the center taken better care of," Toney said.
After some financial problems, the plaza is now up for auction, and city officials say it's about time for a change.
"He (the owner) hasn't been too interested in developing too much recently, so I'm thinking that perhaps having a new owner, particularly a local owner, it might be good for the city," Dunbar Mayor Jack Yeager said.
It's the same situation in Kanawha City with the Shops at Kanawha. This plaza has passed through several hands over the years and is up for auction, too. Both are in great locations and are in need of the right buyer.
"Here's a nice piece of property right off the interstate, which could be very lucrative," Yeager said.
What could be a good investment for new owners could mean a boost in business for the shopping centers.
The Shops at Kanawha auction will be this Friday, while the Dunbar Village auction is set for next Tuesday. Both will take place on the steps of the Kanawha County Courthouse.

ENID, Okla. —
One pitch can often mean the difference between a win and a loss — something the Stillwater High School softball team learned the hard way against its archnemisis Enid in a 3-0 loss Monday.
After giving up a home run to start the second inning, Stillwater (5-12, 3-9 in district) committed two errors as the Pacers (12-17, 4-8 in district) scored all three of its runs in the second to defeat the Lady Pioneers.
"We gave up a home run and had a couple of errors," Stillwater coach Amber Davis said. "We made one bad pitch and it cost us."
Stillwater only had one hit by Laikyn Anderson as the offense struggled against Ally Lewis.
Taylor Lane took the loss for Stillwater, which will face Midwest City on Senior Night at 5 p.m. Tuesday.
"We have a big night," Davis said. "We just have to keep our emotions in check. Fortunately, having a game right after does help us forget about this one and move on to the next one."

An outdoor advertising company fighting to preserve dozens of digital billboards across Los Angeles warned this week that it would seek "substantially" more than $100 million from City Hall if it is ordered to remove any electronic signs targeted in a recent court ruling.
In an 11-page letter sent Friday, Clear Channel Outdoor told Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, City Atty. Carmen Trutanich and Council President Herb Wesson that its digital signs are "valuable assets that the city cannot attempt to take away without paying just compensation."

UPDATE: A North Hills woman accused of posing for child pornography suffered a seizure Monday, according to the Daily News. Federal officials are unsure when she will be able to enter a plea, the paper reported. Letha Mae Montemayor was hospitalized, according to a federal court document, the paper said.
A federal court appearance was delayed until Tuesday afternoon for a North Hills woman accused of posing in 11-year-old photos depicting child pornography.
Letha Mae Montemayor, 52, was arrested outside an apartment complex around 7:30 p.m. Thursday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations agents and Los Angeles Police Department officers, ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice said.
The arrest came less than 10 hours after federal authorities released photographs of an unidentified man and woman, known only as "Jane Doe" and "John Doe," being sought in connection with a child sexual exploitation case. Federal officials held a news conference Thursday asking for help identifying the suspects, who were believed to have taken the photos in the San Fernando Valley.
By 2 p.m., someone had called the ICE tip line, and more tips followed, leading authorities to Montemayor, officials said. She is charged in a federal criminal complaint with one count of production of child pornography and one count of conspiracy to produce child pornography, Kice said.
Montemayor was initially expected to face a federal judge for the first time Monday, but prosecutors said the appearance had been put off for 24 hours.
U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr. said the arrest of Montemayor "brings us one step closer to vindicating the victim and helping to regain some dignity for all victims of child exploitation crimes."
The charges involve a widely circulated series of child porn images believed to have been taken about 11 years ago in Encino and elsewhere in the region. The identity and whereabouts of the man involved in the case, believed to be between 40 and 50 years of age, had yet to be determined.
Officials said tips from the public have come in regarding the male suspect, whose face had been purposely obscured in images acquired and displayed by agents.
"We still want the public's help in identifying John Doe and the victim in the disturbing series of images that continue to be circulated on the Internet," Birotte said.
The pictures in the case show a male and female adult sexually molesting a girl who appears to be about 13. The identity of the girl has not been determined.
Montemayor's son, Paul Tucker, told KCAL9 he met the alleged victim when he was living with his mother, but she was not a minor.
"She was 18 ... just looked real young, but over 18," Tucker told the station.
Tucker said his mother was working as a prostitute at the time the photos were taken, and Montemayor knew the alleged victim's mother.
"The story we had gotten from her was that her mother was prostituting her and that maybe my mom had gotten in a fight with her mother," Tucker told Channel 9. "... She said her mother had left her high and dry with a drug habit."
He said he did not know the man shown in the photos, but said he may have been a potential client.
Anyone with information or tips that can assist the investigation was urged to call (866) 347-2423 or access http://www.ice.gov/tips.

possible spark problem
Ok I have a 98 Yukon 2wd and it has a 5.7L Here is what is happening now. Before I would crank but not start. Fuel Psi is at 61psi. It has spark, just replace ignition module. It ran fine on Saturday drove it all day. Then Saturday it would not kick over. Tried starting fuild, no go, poured gas right into throttle body, still no start. The timing on the Dist. is one tooth off. So that is a issue as well. I'm running out of ideals, the next thing where trying is a dist cap and rotor, but if I can solve it before thenI would like to save the money it'll cost to replace the dist parts.
Why not get the distributor timing where it belongs and then work from there? Are you getting spark still? Have you pulled a plug and checked for spark while cranking? I kind of find it odd that it ran good for one day and then would not start? I have not changed an ignition module on one of those, so I have some basic questions for my education and maybe it will help you. Is there a ground involved on the module? Does it ground directly to the block? If so did you make sure that surface was clean? I have read some posts about replacing ignition modules and there was mention of a white paste that acted as a heat insulator. Did yours have this? Sorry for so many questions but, I am trying to educate myself.

well I've pulled plugs out and they spark, it's not a very strong spark, but I just did plugs and wires on it a week ago. Just replaced the coil and the truck tried to kick over but it just couldn't. Lot of people are suggesting the module. So I order an new one and waiting for it If this don't work I'm pulling the dist. and replacing the cap and rotoe and resetting the timing.

From staff reports
The Union-Recorder
MILLEDGEVILLE — An arrest was made in reference to an entering auto case that occurred late October 2012, according to Milledgeville Police.
After the recent rash of entering autos and burglaries in the area, MPD decided to revisit the October case. Maj. Reggie Hill said Det. Everett January of MPD worked tirelessly on this case, which led to the arrest of Demetress Choates.
"This was a good arrest, and hopefully will slow some of the entering auto thefts and burglaries around the downtown and college areas. The photo of this suspect will hopefully generate further leads when people look at it," Hill said. "One of the key learning points is to be vigilant, and leave an outside light on. Remember to lock all valuables up and secure your vehicle."
Choates has been a suspect on police radar for several months, due to sightings of him around areas other crimes have been committed. At this time, Choates has been charged with one count of entering auto with several other charges pending.
The Georgia College Police Department initially started the investigation last October after receiving a call to unlock a vehicle at The Liberty House. Upon GC police arrival, the victim remembered leaving her vehicle unlocked overnight.
A note was located from a witness stating that an unknown black male was rummaging through the vehicle sometime that night. The witness left the note and secured the vehicle.
After unlocking the vehicle, a cell phone was located that didn't belong to the victim.

Despite public officials advising townspeople to stay off the roads due to some closings, the danger of hung up branches and trees that could come down, and tree and wire crews trying to work without interruption — many are either going out for their jobs, for emergencies or because sitting home without power is driving them crazy.
After going to Edith Wheeler Memorial Library today, instead of going home via Route 110, I decided to stop for lunch at Bill's Drive-In before turning right on 111 — a left looked impossible — and riding it to the 25 Connector.
I soon found that driving on Monroe Turnpike could be just as aggravating as waiting for the power to be restored. Traffic lights with no lights and temporary stop signs at intersections with way too many lanes for stop signs has slowed traffic to glacial speeds.
Along the way I noticed long lines at gas stations, with the one just over the Trumbull line coned off — I forget the name right now.
I wondered how the major intersection of routes 111 and 25 Connector would look ... but never got there.
Cars and trucks were so backed up with no movement at all. Some drivers in front of me grew impatient and decided to turn around and head back the other way. It didn't take me long to decide to join them.
Those who already drove down that way know what I'm talking about and for anyone who hadn't, it's just something to think about.
Stay safe.

Construction of the 66,740-square-foot grocery store is scheduled to begin this spring on a nearly 8-acre lot at the corner of Routes 522 and 204, diagonally from the existing Weis store on Broad Street. The new store will be built on the site of the former Ott Packaging.
According to the plans, which will be considered by the Selinsgrove Planning Board at the Feb. 20 public meeting, the Sunbury-based grocer is proposing to sell beer and gasoline at the location and will provide 326 parking spaces for patrons.
Borough Manager Paul Williams said the company is eyeing a late November opening.
Weis will also be required to obtain a highway occupancy permit to add turning lanes on Route 522 northbound onto Broad Street and further north from Route 522 into the new store location as well as a one-lane road from the adjacent Dauntless Hook & Ladder Fire Company.
Though Weis has acknowledged its intention to sell beer at the store, company spokesman Dennis Curtin declined to comment on any other aspect of the plans while working through the approval process.
"It's difficult to comment on particular aspects of our plan until it is approved," he said. "With respect to an opening date, it's not possible to talk with any sort of precision until we are approved and building our store."
There have been reports of a on-site pre-treatment plant, which Curtin said are not part of the discussion.
Some are criticizing Weis' decision to sell beer at the new store, including Selinsgrove beer distributor Matt Viens, who owns Keller's Beer and fears the sale of single bottle, six- and 12-packs of beer at the store will threaten his business.
Weis sells beer at 12 of its stores, including locations in Lewisburg and Sunbury.

July 10, 2013 — The public library board asked construction partners Wednesday to put together proposals for renovations to the new Grayson branch site.
Tony Wehrle, from Central Kentucky Design, and Jackie Clevenger, of Architectural Planning and Design, were on hand during Wednesday's meeting to offer opinions on necessary renovations.
The talks were mostly informal and official estimates for renovation costs are still unknown.
The new site on Main Street, originally the Hauk Furniture building, has been vacant for several years.
Because of the conditions of the building, constructed in 1958, Clevenger and Wehrle pointed out safety concerns the group must address before opening for business.
Currently, they said they would have to include in the renovation plans two additional bathrooms downstairs that are handi-cap accessible.
The library will also have to input a new HVAC unit that could potentially cost up to $35,000.
The second floor of the two-story building is not intended to be used when the library opens, instead waiting to expand in the future.
Clevenger said the roof of the second floor is included in the "exterior envelope" of insulation and building codes. Some repairs and changes would need to be completed, even though it will not immediately be used.
Other smaller matters included the placement of another exit door for fire-safety and retrofitting current lights to meet energy codes.
When renovating, Werhle said he understood the group wanted to cut as much cost as possible, but he and Clevenger believe the renovations will still be fairly expensive.
To help with some of the costs, the library has applied for a number of grants and is looking for other ways to raise money.
The Friends of Carter County Library donation campaign began in 2012 and reaches out to community members asking for assistance in funding materials, programs and professional development for staff.
The group will also accept donations from anyone willing to help with the new building project.

What is pyrimethamine and sulfadoxine (Fansidar)?
Pyrimethamine is an antiparasitic drug. It prevents the growth and reproduction of parasites.
Sulfadoxine is a sulfa drug that fights bacteria in the body.
The combination of pyrimethamine and sulfadoxine is used to treat malaria, a disease caused by parasites. Parasites that cause malaria typically enter the body through the bite of a mosquito. Malaria is common in areas such as Africa, South America, and Southern Asia.
Pyrimethamine and sulfadoxine is usually given when other anti-malaria medications may not be as effective in treatment or prevention.
Pyrimethamine and sulfadoxine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

- Bring the quinoa and chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan; reduce heat to a simmer and cover the pan. Simmer until the broth is absorbed, the quinoa is fluffy, and the white line is visible in the grain, about 12 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet; cook and stir the garlic scapes and onion until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken breast strips and cook until the chicken is still slightly pink in the middle, about 5 more minutes. Remove the chicken meat and set aside. Pour 2 more tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet and cook and stir the zucchini and tomato until the zucchini is tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and sprinkle with feta cheese, basil leaves, and lime juice. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and hot, about 10 more minutes. Serve over hot quinoa.

Absolutely delicious! I substituted a number of things: shrimp for the chicken because I needed to use it up, broccoli for the zucchini, added 1 more tomato because they were on the small side, and mozzarella for the feta. I also didn't use the second 2 tablespoons of olive oil. And I used 2 garlic cloves minced. It only took me 45 minutes to get it on the table after receiving this recipe in my e-mail wondering what to cook for dinner. It was a lifesaver. My husband said it was as good as going out for a nice dinner. A very versatile recipe.
Great taste! The feta melts slightly and blends in with the veggies. Don't add too much extra salt, I added just a bit and was surprised by how much extra flavor the feta gives the dish. I also cut down on the amount of chicken; the quinoa gives protein, so it is a very filling dish.
This was a good dish. The only changes I made were to reduce the cooking times (I like my veggies underdone and I cut my chicken pretty small), used cloves of garlic (all I had) and cooked the quinoa in water instead of broth (personal taste preference). I also threw in some cut up broccoli just because I had it on hand and wanted to use it up. I felt that it was a great addition to this dish and will probably add it when I cook it again.

End the bloodletting
The financial crisis is a hoax perpetrated by Wall Street billionaires, many receiving huge subsidies but paying zero taxes.
In three years the deficit has fallen the fastest since the end of World War II (Office of Management and Budget). Social Security has a $2.7 trillion surplus (www.ssa.gov), funded by employers and employees, not taxpayers. Remove the FICA cap so everyone pays on all earnings not just the first $113,700 (www.ssa.gov). Medicare saves billions by efficiently providing preventive services. Let Medicare negotiate drug prices like the Veteran's Administration.
Republicans' austerity agenda is hurting working people. Wages have stagnated for 30 years. The stock market is somersaulting, one record over another. The sequester is forcing thousands to part-time work without benefits. Public employees are losing their jobs.
We are losing our democracy. We have to get money out of politics. Citizens United gave corporations unlimited funding of perpetual campaigns. There are 127 CEOs pushing for a "grand bargain" austerity budget. Citizens United 2 is McCutcheon vs. FEC, coming to the Supreme Court.
Call every legislator (www.senate.gov, www.house.gov, www.housemichigan.gov, www.senatemichigan.gov). Stop the bloodletting. Get angry.

Staff Writer
---- — PLUM ISLAND — It's been nearly a half century since Plum Island's vulnerable beachfront has seen such widespread destruction.
The storm-charged waves that struck the coast Thursday and lingered through the weekend left three homes demolished. According to Newbury town officials, three more sustained "substantial" structural damage, and in all, 14 are uninhabitable, at least for the short term.
The focal point of the storm's damage is along a two-thirds-mile stretch of dunes that runs south from the Beach Center, along Annapolis Way and Fordham Way. In total, one-third of the beachfront homes along that stretch have either been destroyed, damaged or lost their occupancy permit.
As the storm surge has gradually lifted, officials and residents are seeing a beach that is dramatically changed.
"It's a real wasteland," said Newbury Selectman Geoff Walker, referring to the Annapolis Way/Fordham Way beach. "For our town, it's devastating."
What just a few years ago was a comfortably wide beach is now a narrow strip, accessible only around low tide. At high tide, the ocean laps up against steep, crumbling sand dunes, on top of which sits about three dozen homes. Some are precariously near the edge, others are already jutting over it.
Annapolis Way has taken the worst pounding. Of the nine homes on the ocean side of the road, three were destroyed by the storm.
"We don't have any beach anymore from Bennett Hill to blue," Walker said, referring to landmarks at either end of the Annapolis Way/Fordham Way stretch.
"This is historical," said longtime Plum Islander Ron Barrett. "We haven't seen something like this since the early 1970s."
Yesterday, state Sen. Bruce Tarr, state Rep. Lenny Mirra and Selectman Joe Story sent a letter top Gov. Deval Patrick, asking for "assistance and expertise of state government to help protect those homes that are still in immediate jeopardy and will likely remain in such jeopardy for the next several days."
Today at 11 a.m., a meeting will be held with state, local and federal officials to discuss the situation on the island. The meeting will be at Plum Island Taxpayers and Associates Hall.
Meanwhile on the island, police have shut down the beach along Annapolis Way and Fordham Way in order to keep people away from what police described as "a dangerous scene." The Parker River National Wildlife Refuge also closed its beach yesterday.
That didn't stop hordes of people from coming out to the beach to see for themselves. The sunny and relatively warm weekend weather saw hundreds of people trying to get a closer look. Police blocked off roads and accesses to the beach and erected signs telling people to stay off the beach, but there were some who persisted in getting through. As a result, several will be issued arrest summonses for trespassing, according to police Chief Michael Reilly.
Reilly said most people were cooperative, but in a few cases where people wouldn't cooperate, the summons were issued.
"Our goal isn't to take people away into custody," he said. "No one should be out there. It just isn't safe. It's a dangerous scene."
Reilly said it's not clear how long the beach will be closed — perhaps only a couple more days or perhaps a week. It depends on how quickly the damaged homes and dunes can be assessed and made safer.
Two beachfront homes on Annapolis Way were demolished on Saturday after high seas washed the sand out from under them, causing them to fall over the edge of the dune and onto the beach. One other home was torn down a day after its foundation was compromised.
Crews were busy cutting all utility services to the affected houses, and once the early high tide receded, they moved in with heavy equipment to tear the condemned houses down.
The first to go was the Bandoian house at 41 Annapolis Way, which tipped over the dune Friday morning and was left leaning on the beach at a 45-degree angle until it was demolished by a heavy crane at 11:53 a.m. yesterday.
The Bresnahan house at 31 Annapolis Way followed shortly afterward. The house, previously deemed structurally unsafe and uninhabitable late last year, toppled off its foundation early Saturday morning.
Both buildings were unoccupied at the time they went over the edge.
The third house set to be demolished was the Nee house at 37 Annapolis Way, which had already suffered extensive damage following the Blizzard of 2013. Significant effort was put in to shore up the house after that storm, but it was all for naught after the latest storm washed all the engineering away and left the house in worse shape than before.
Throughout the morning people were seen retrieving belongings from the house and loading them into a yellow Penske truck. The house's owner, Tom Nee, had lived on the property for 40 years prior to this storm.
Once the Nee house comes down later today, Bob Connors, who lives at 39 Annapolis Way between the ruined houses, will be left without a next-door neighbor.
"The worst part about all this is seeing your neighbors go through all this," Connors said.

IObit's Driver Booster is a simple and straightforward tool which can scan your system for outdated drivers, then download and install and replacements with a click.
The program is unusually easy to use. There's no complex interface, no searching around trying to decide what you need to do: just launch Driver Booster, it immediately scans your PC, and a detailed report appears just a few seconds later.
You can then click the "Update" button individually for particular drivers, handy if you want to keep precise control over exactly what's going on.
Or if you're in a hurry, just click "Update All" and Driver Booster will download and launch each update for you. You'll have to manually work through each installer, but this doesn't take long, and we had our test system fully updated in just a few minutes.
You don't get the bonus features here that you'll sometimes find in similar programs. There's no list of your hardware or installed drivers, for instance. No backup option. No extras at all, really.
Driver Booster's default settings are a little annoying, too, with the program setting itself up to launch when Windows starts, yet only check for updates once a week. Fortunately this is easy to change, but it shouldn't be necessary: if Driver Booster just set up a scheduled task then it wouldn't have to run in the background at all.
What's new in v1.3?
+ Optimized Driver Installation Engine with Higher Driver-Device Matching Accuracy
+ Expanded the Database to Support More Devices
+ Improved Stability in Audio and Display Driver Updating
+ Added the Uninstall Feature to Easily Uninstall Any Drivers
+ Added 24x7 Toll Free Phone Support
+ Minor GUI Improvements
+ Fixed Minor Bugs
