Please use the buttons below to see more information on Saracens and matches between Exiles and Saracens over the years.
London Irish
Fixture Type: Aviva Premiership
Match Date: Fri 09 Feb 2013
Kick Off: 15:00
Venue: Madejski Stadium
Assistant Referee: Kevin Stewart
Assistant Referee: Ashley Rowden
Referee: Andrew Small
Shane Geraghty and Ofisa Treviranus crossed for second half tries and 19 points from the boot of Tom Homer saw the Exiles claim a valuable 29-16 win.
George Skivington and Matt Garvey were outstanding in defence and caused Saracens into uncharacteristic mistakes. Similarly Shane Geraghty and Topsy Ojo were leading the defensive line well, allowing Saracens very little, if no time on the ball.
The first half was a very even affair. Charlie Hodgson and Tom Homer both kicked three penalty goals each to make it 9-9 at the break.
The Exiles came closest to scoring in a first half where defence was very much on top. George Skivington pressured Charlie Hodgson in defence to force the fly half to fumble the ball forward. The Irish second rower hacked the ball within a couple of metres of the Saracens try line. Unfortunately Pat Phibbs failed to re-gather and the ball was knocked on.
The sides when into the sheds all square at 9-9 at half time.
Irish started the second stanza in powerful fashion with big Chris Hala'ufia catching the ball from the re-start and setting off on a barn storming run before offloading to Marland Yarde who sprinted the clear. The winger cleverly nudged the ball down the touchline and it eventually rolled into touch.
Irish pressured Saracens once more and forced another penalty opportunity for Tom Homer. The full back made no mistake to put Irish 12-9 ahead.
The first try of the match came on 53 minute and it was a former London Irish player with the assist. Nils Mordt threw a long wide pass that was well anticipated by Shane Geraghty who intercepted and ran in from 40 metres out. Homer converted to give Irish a 10 point lead moving into the final quarter.
Tom Homer kicked another penalty goal to edge Irish further in front before David Strettle crossed for an individual try for the visitors to bring them back into it.
Irish need a response and the team certainly rose to the challenge. The Exiles were exerting plenty of pressure on the visitors and forcing them into errors.
Irish claimed their second try with just over 10 minutes remaining. Topsy Ojo, who was everywhere all afternoon, made an outside break down the right hand touchline and passed the ball back inside to Ofisa Treviranus who marked his return with a try to confirm the Irish victory.
The Exiles head to the Rec next weekend to face Bath in another crucial Aviva Premiership match.
Score sequence (London Irish first): 0-3, 3-3, 3-6, 6-6, 9-6, 9-9, 12-9, 19-9, 22-9, 22-16, 29-16

While the focus of Monday night's Buffalo Bisons game with the Toledo Mud Hens was the start of Matt Harvey, Jason Bay got a fair amount of attention, too. He made his third appearance with the Herd on a major league rehabilitation assignment after suffering a concussion with the New York Mets on June 15.
Starting in left field and batting second, Bay went 0 for 2 with two walks.
"Other than the ball I completey lost in the twilight, I though it was good," Bay said of his game Monday night. "Good at bats and we'll sit down right now and map out a plan and make a decision. Physically as far as injury-wise I feel good. It's still coming back to me, swing wise and coming back into game shape. I feel every game has been a little bit better."
There was no official word in Buffalo if Bay was going to join the Mets today as they opened their series in Washington, but it's highly likely.
"If you ask any guy they're going to say 'Oh, I want to go up.' Obviously I want to get up there," Bay said. "We just want to make sure it's the best thing. ... We kinda vowed that this time back around we're going to take our time and not just say, hey good enough, c'mon up. You definitely need your feet underneath you. Like I said, I'm not making the decision so we'll find out but hopefully I'll be in Washington tomorrow."
Bay had one blooper playing left field for the Herd. In the eighth inning with the score tied, 2-2, he lost sight of a fly ball which skyed over his head and dropped for a leadoff hit. Toledo didn't score in the eighth, but did go on to score twice in the ninth for a 4-2 win over the Herd.
What happened on that play?
"Twilight," Bay said. "There's about a 10-minute window everywhere at dusk, that twilight time that if the ball goes up there, you've got to stick with it. That one went up and I had no idea where it went. What made me feel better is that guy didn't score."

MISSION — A major change, effective March 1, in how Texas provides Medicaid to an estimated 400,000 residents in deep South Texas, including the Rio Grande Valley, will was reviewed during a public meeting recently.
The gathering featured top staff representatives from the five Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) that will be administering the Medicaid program in 10 South Texas counties, according to state Rep. Sergio Muñoz, Jr., D-Mission, who hosted the event.
Organizers said they expected to draw a wide spectrum of health care providers, from doctors and hospitals to therapist, pharmacists, home health and other agencies.

Feb. 16, 2013
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - One week after collecting the signatures of sprinters, middle distance, hurdlers and a thrower who rank among the nation's very best, the Florida State track & field teams have completed the early portion of their 2013 signing class with a quartet of distance runners expected to carry on the program's rich tradition of excellence.
FSU women's cross country and distance coach Karen Harvey tapped into a familiar pipeline to land Great Britain standout Hannah Walker, and also mined the Sunshine State for its most decorated high school runner, Bridget Blake.
Head track & field and men's distance coach Bob Braman returned to the fertile Midwest to bring Grant Nykaza on board, then dipped back into his old Tampa stomping grounds to snatch up-and-comer Abdin Fator.
In all, the Seminoles have signed a talented and well-balanced 2013 class of 10. The additions of Blake and Fator give FSU four in-state signees.
Harvey was elated to add a "big star from Florida" to her nationally-renowned distance core.
"Bridget has a lot of room to grow and (has) the work ethic and talent to drive growth," Harvey said of the two-time Foot Locker National Cross Country finalist and five-time state champion from Orlando's Dr. Phillips High School.
"I didn't want to be just like everyone else, because a lot of girls go to Florida," Blake said. "I'm definitely excited to be doing something different. ... I feel like Florida State is definitely a special program and school that fits its own mold."
Blake is the most decorated female distance runner from the Orlando area since Jenny Simpson Barringer, the 2011 World Champion in the 1500, starred at Oviedo. She won three consecutive 4A state cross country titles and is the defending champion on the track in both the 1600 and 3200.
"I am so, so excited to get out there under coach Harvey's wing and with the rest of the girls - they're all a great group of girls - a good group that will really push me and take me to the next level," Blake said.
"A big part was definitely coach Harvey. The coaching connection was definitely very important to me because we've gone through coaching change after coaching change about every single year (at Dr. Phillips). I was really looking for someone who I could really trust with my training and take me to the next level. Coach Harvey and I definitely clicked right from the beginning. She was somebody I could really look up to and really trust, and I really believe in her philosophies.
"The team is totally awesome. It will be nice to join a great team that works really hard toward to make it to the next level and go for national titles."
Fator, whose family escaped Sudan's war-torn region of Darfur, first to Egypt and then the U.S. in 2003, is a potential star. Just three years into his running career, he was named the Hillsborough County cross country runner of the year after rolling up wins at the county championship, as well as the FSU and flrunners.com invitational meets. He followed up with a district title and placed second at the region meet.
"Here's a guy who has a short running background - a couple of years down at Tampa Sickles High School - and a guy that has shown at times he can be a big-time runner," Braman said. "I think he's got a great upside. From his background, what he's had to go through to get to the United States, and all that he's had to deal with, he's going to work extraordinarily hard to be very, very good.
"We think he's one of these guys who people are going to turn around and say, `Where did that guy come from?' He has a chance to be very, very good. He's just a phenomenal human being. ... He is that diamond in the rough; definitely a long shot that we think is going to be a good payoff for us in the future."
Both Walker and Nykaza come with impressive running pedigrees.
"Hannah Walker is another amazing product of the University of Birmingham and our third `Hannah' from that school," said Harvey, who previously coached Seminole All-Americans Hannah England and Hannah Brooks from the same school. "Hannah's accomplishments are impressive and with good health and careful planning we can see Hannah being one of the top runners in the NCAA her first year."
Walker, who like England and Brooks comes to FSU with two years of eligibility remaining, has represented Great Britain in international competition. Most recently she placed 12th at the European Cross Country Championships. She also has incredible range, posting personal-best marks of 4:28.07 (1500), 9:21.4 (3000), 15:48.69 (5000) and 33:09.5 (10,000) on the track. Walker is perhaps most proud of her half-marathon debut in September, when she finished in 71:50.
"It was Hannah (England) who initially recommended FSU to me," Walker said. "I train with and am mentored by her at university and she spoke very highly of coach Harvey and her experience. Then following my visit in January I was so impressed by the training facilities, academic support and friendliness of the girls on the team that I simply had to sign!"
Walker had many suitors among American universities for her talents, but only seriously considered the Seminoles, based largely on the relationships she had forged with England and Brooks, as well as an endorsement for Harvey from her UK coach, Bud Baldaro.
"It's something I've been considering for the past couple of years," Walker said of her decision to come to the U.S. "It just seems like such a wonderful opportunity to further both my athletics and academics, whilst getting to experience living, training and competing in a different country."
Nykaza will join the Seminoles as one of the most accomplished runners in Illinois High School cross country history. The two-time state champion (he's never finished worse than fourth) out of Beecher High is, like Blake, a two-time Foot Locker National finalist.
"We really felt like he would be an immediate impact cross country guy," Braman said. "He's twice been to the Foot Locker Nationals. He's just turned 17 in August, so he's a young senior and a guy who has a lot of room to keep developing. ... He's kind of from that Midwest mecca of cross country running. We are looking at an area of the United States that produces - Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan. That's cross country territory there and those guys can do really well in adverse conditions."
Not coincidentally, he will help fill a void created with the departure of graduating Seminole from the Midwest - former Foot Locker national champion Mike Fout.
"In track, because he was injured last year, it might take him a year to get that going," Braman added. "He's got tremendous upside that hasn't shown itself. We're excited about getting Grant and we think he's going to be an All-American guy in his future."
In all, the Seminoles landed the signatures of 10 athletes, with the aforementioned joining: Michael Cherry, the nation's top-ranked 400-meter runner from Chesapeake, Va., who is the 2012 New Balance Outdoor Nationals champion Trevor Mackey, who represented the Bahamas in the 200 at the London Olympics and will transfer from South Plains (Texas) Community College Austin Droogsma, who is the No. 2 discus thrower in the 2013 class and Florida's best in the shot put as well from Gulf Breeze, Fla. Kali Davis-White, a senior from Lauderdale Lakes (Fla.) Boyd Anderson, who ranks No. 2 in the 2013 class in both the 100 and 200 Sydnee Over, a 400/800 talent from South Windsor (Conn.) who was the runner-up in the 800 at the 2012 New Balance Outdoor Nationals Nicole Setterington, Canada's No. 1 high school senior in the 100-meter hurdles, and was her country's Junior National runner-up last summer
FSU will also get a big lift from a pair of football signees. Levonte Whitfield is the nation's top-ranked 100-meter dash runner, while Jalen Ramsey has already soared 24 feet in the long jump.

Environmental Monitoring Begins on Biomass Plant
Published September 14th, 2011

Opponents of the Gainesville Biomass Plant (GREC) can celebrate a small victory as money has been officially doled out to monitor the project's environmental impact.
But even though opponents say they're happy to see another term of their 2011 settlement fulfilled, the community still doesn't have the answers it deserves.
Gainesville Citizens Care will hold a community meeting on October 9th about the biomass plant at Grace Presbyterian Church on 13th Street in Gainesville. GRU officials say more information on the rate impact will be available next month at the Regional Utilities Committee (RUC) meeting.

A video has surfaced of Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock) hosting a presentation on Agenda 21.
Better Georgia, a progressive nonprofit organization, has released a recording of a public meeting it says Rogers hosted in October with other state senate leaders. The video features a presentation by Field Searcy, who gives an overview of Agenda 21 to the lawmakers.
Agenda 21, a United Nations comprehensive plan for sustainable development, has been coined by some conservatives as a plan by the government to overtake private property through zoning and detailed land-use ordinances passed by governing bodies.
Along with Sen. Rogers, Cherokee County's newest senator, Republican Barry Loudermilk of Cassville was also in attendance. Searcy also warned against "regional governance" and public private partnerships as methods of carrying out Agenda 21.
The video goes on for roughly 54 minutes before its recorder, Seth C. Clark, is asked to stop the filming.
To back up his theory, Searcy also showed a short clip of political consultant Dick Morris musing on his assertion that President Barack Obama has declared war on the suburbs. Morris claims President Obama will force suburban tax dollars to fund inner city projects and coerce people to eventually move into urban areas.
It also lists the public-private partnership proposal to fund toll lanes on Interstates 75 and 575 and the failed T-SPLOST initiative as examples of ways governmental entities and regional commissions are implementing portions of Agenda 21 across the state.
The video also singles out the Atlanta Regional Commission and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce as backers of Agenda 21.
As an example at the local level, Searcy also refers to the Ball Ground Recycling deal and the company's subsequent failure as "another example of a PPP (public-private partnership) that has gone sour."
"We are trying to engage citizens to be aware of this and we need your help also to protect citizens from getting involved in this kind of thing," he later told he lawmakers.
Patch has reached out to Rogers for his response, but the senator has not responded yet.

Why Obama's Budget Doesn't Matter
Obama is proposing many of the same programs Congressional Republicans have blocked before.
There must be at least a few White House budget writers wondering, why bother?
The president's annual presentation of his budget to Congress is one of those storied traditions that sets Washington into a tizzy and signals that a "Serious News Story" must be reported. In the usual fashion, President Obama has presented an exhaustive budget for fiscal 2013, with a 256 page outline that details his spending plans for 15 cabinet-level departments and dozens of other agencies. The budget is typically a big deal not just because it's a spending blueprint for the world's biggest purchaser, but because it illuminates the president's vision for the future of government.
[See how Romney and Obama differ on the economy.]
The press has been dutifully reporting the heady numbers in Obama's latest budget: $3.8 trillion in government spending, a $1.3 trillion deficit for the current fiscal year, a $901 deficit for 2013, and $4 trillion worth of proposed cuts in the national debt over a decade.
There's also one small footnote: There's very little chance Obama's budget will ever go into effect.
Even when the politicians in Washington get along, the president's budget is a mere guideline to spending, with Congress passing specific appropriations bills that provide funding for each department. Sometimes those bills reflect the president's priorities, sometimes they don't. But since 2010, the federal budgeting process has been a fractious, ad hoc process that basically keeps the government going for a few months at a time—with virtually none of the strategic planning that's typically reflected in an actual budget.
Ordinarily, Congress passes an annual "budget resolution," which is supposed to outline an overall spending plan for the next five years. But Congress didn't do that for the 2011 or 2012 budgets, partly because Republicans and Democrats couldn't agree on a plan, and partly because neither party wanted to be associated with Washington's huge deficits. The same is likely to happen this year, with -- you guessed it -- deep divisions over spending, taxes and the future of entitlement programs such as Medicare.
[See 3 myths about Mitt Romney and the rich.]
Instead of a proper budget thoughtfully executed, Congress has been funding the government like a spoiled rich kid who whips out a credit card for every impulse purchase, without ever checking the balance. Most spending these days is funded by short-term resolutions that tend to get passed at the last minute with little public scrutiny. The government still functions, but with little prioritization and an unsustainable mismatch between the money that comes in and the money that goes out. "We're budgeting with blunt tools right now, instead of a more detailed assessment of what's best for the nation," says Maya MacGuineas, president of the nonprofit Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. "If you look at our fiscal situation, it's leading to suboptimal outcomes."
Expect more of the same this year. In his 2013 budget, Obama calls for billions of dollars in new spending on roads, schools and other types of infrastructure investments, which is very similar to what he requested in his "American Jobs Act" last fall. Congressional Republicans blocked such measures then, and everybody in Washington knows they'll do so again. The same goes for Obama's call for higher taxes on households earning $250,000 or more--there's almost no chance Republicans will agree to tax hikes before the elections.
[See why the GOP has a Gloomy-Gus problem.]
Meanwhile, the biggest portion of federal spending doesn't require any budget or short-term resolutions. Spending on entitlement programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security accounts for roughly two-thirds of all government spending, and it happens automatically. Those programs, especially Medicare, are the biggest budget-busters, yet Obama's budget calls for only minor reforms when much more is needed.
Obama's aides insist that even if Congress completely ignores the president's budget, it's an important document because it details the types of programs Obama will pursue if re-elected in November: An aggressive effort to reinvigorate manufacturing, more job retraining, more help for homeowners, an "all of the above" energy policy and, of course, higher taxes on the wealthy. But anybody planning to read the president's budget can get the gist of his ideas by watching his most recent State of the Union address or listening to any stump speech Obama gives this year. Or simply Google "economy built to last."
[See Obama's 8 new ideas for the economy.]
The real suspense in Washington is going to come after the November elections, when the president and Congress have to make huge decisions about a wide range of tax cuts set to expire, across-the-board spending cuts set to go into effect in 2013 and another boost in the government's borrowing limit that will be required shortly after the next president is sworn in. Unlike the 2013 budget, that may be a drama worth watching.

The city-owned Sinclair plant was damaged by fires and flooding,
and is now being demolished.
The local newspaper says FEMA denied the city's request, saying many of the buildings at the plant were not in use at the time of the June 2008 flood.
FEMA's decision follows a similar denial for about $13 million tied to the city's flood-damage hydroelectric plant. The agency says it was disabled by an ice storm before the flood. Cedar Rapids also was seeking about $3 million for the flood-damaged Quality Chef plant.
The city was seeking funds for alternative projects when public facilities are destroyed and can't be reused after a disaster.

So you know how the schools send home things to sell to extort even more money from taxpayers and offer up an in-school party that if your kid don't sell $100 bucks worth of crap they can't go to so you get guilted into thinking you're the worst parent on the planet if you don't try to push the extortion over onto your friends, family, and neighbors… So typically, me & the wife just always buy the candy, seeds, magazine's whatever, enough to get our kid into whatever the incentive is instead of harassing our buddies for money and then we just send Roman out to give it all away to people. This time, seriously she had to sell $100 worth of Christmas Crap. $100. I don't have an extra $100 to donate for crap I don't want. Didn't want to put my friends in the awkward position of having to buy the crap… so I offered a deal to my 6 yr old. I told her, that if she really wanted to go to the party, we'd pay the $100… OR we'd check her out of school on party day, take her to Toys R Us, and give her $50 to spend on crap for herself…so, Am I a jerk or genius?…. She took the cash option.
I bribed my kid with half the cash I woulda had to spend on her school sale item of the month… Am I a jerk or genius?

Why Nancy Pelosi Is Attacking Newt Gingrich on Ethics
Nancy Pelosi should consider her own ethics record before slamming Gingrich's.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi wants the world to believe she knows something about former House Speaker Newt Gingrich that could prove damaging to his presidential ambitions.
"One of these days we'll have a conversation about Newt Gingrich," Pelosi told Talking Points Memo. "I know a lot about him. I served on the investigative committee that investigated him, four of us locked in a room in an undisclosed location for a year. A thousand pages of his stuff."
It is highly unlikely that she would have anything new to say. Much if not all of the information is already public record. And, as the GOP frontrunner's campaign was quick to remind people Monday,
In 1999, after a 3 ½ year investigation, the Internal Revenue Service (under President Bill Clinton, nonetheless) concluded that Gingrich did not violate any tax laws, leading renowned CNN Investigative Reporter Brooks Jackson to remark on air "it turns out [Gingrich] was right and those who accused him of tax fraud were wrong."
[Read the U.S. News debate on whether Newt Gingrich can beat Barack Obama.]
What Pelosi is doing is a classic case of misdirection that began after it was revealed on 60 Minutes that she has some things of her own to answer for. As the San Francisco Examiner editorialized recently,
Democrat Nancy Pelosi and her husband cashed in big time by getting special access to an initial public offering of Visa stock even as the House under her leadership refused to move important credit card industry reforms.
The mere idea that Pelosi and others—Democrats and Republicans alike—may have realized financial gains through what in the private sector is called "insider trading" has set off a firestorm of complaints among the American electorate that threatens to take Congress's approval rating down to zero.
[Read Brad Bannon on why Americans think politics is corrupt.]
One wonders what she might have to say that would be new. But, by attacking Gingrich by disclosing supposedly heretofore secret information, Pelosi would certainly change the subject, at least for a day or two. Never mind that, as his campaign said in a release,
Politically motivated ethics charges were filed against Newt when he was Speaker of the House regarding the use of tax exempt funds for a college course he taught titled 'Renewing American Civilization.' 83 of the 84 were found to be without merit...the remaining charge had to do with contradictory documents prepared by Newt's lawyer supplied during the course of the investigation. Newt took responsibility for the error and agreed to reimburse the committee the cost of the investigation into that discrepancy. The agreement specifically noted the payment was not a fine.
What Pelosi suggests she may do may also be an abuse of the congressional ethics process; Gingrich has certainly said as much. But it is undeniably a convenient way to take attention off what she and her husband might have done. To be fair, Pelosi denies any wrongdoing and the idea that members of Congress cannot trade on information they learn in the course of their official business is at least a gray area. It is not, for the moment at least, explicitly prohibited although legislation is moving quickly that would make it illegal, legislation the San Francisco Democrat now supports. Nevertheless it is nasty can of worms that is not going to go away quickly.

I don't. I try to just find some good online deals.
Speaking of online deals, anyone know of any online truck accessory sites who are having a Black Friday sale?WAR EAGLE!!!
I'm at the ranch, planning on staying here through thanksgiving weekend, That places me 80mi. from the nearest "big Box". Thats barely far enough to avoid the insanity !!! Got a 6 Pack of Sam Adams and a few Bud Lights stached in the fridge and there will be lots of left over goodies too. Plan on spending most of "black" friday in the shop "tinkerin'" on my old Willys truck. Ken
I ended up getting caught up in the event more than I originally wanted to. Sears did 2 waves of Doorbusters sales: one at 8pm and another at 4am. I went to the 8pm sale and the line was wrapped around the building. I did get in and snatch up the 26 piece wrench sets and a torque wrench I was after. However, the toolbox I wanted didn't go on sale until 4am. I went home for a very brief while, then turned around again and was at the store for 11pm figuring there would be another huge line around the store. Around midnight, I got in line and waited for 2 hours in the cold until store management brought us in around 2am. The line was relatively short, about 20 people. Then, I realized that the line was basically for the TVs on sale. So, I could have gone home after the 8am sale and rolled in around 4am to get the box, but at that point I just stayed till 4. But I got my $200 tool box!
The box is a base-model box, but it's a decent starter box I can keep for a couple years until I can afford a nice box. I loaded it up Saturday and already have it about 50% full of tools, so I don't have a massive amount of room for expansion. I have pics of the box, but I'll have to upload them tonight when I get home.
Was it worth staying out and around Sears for nearly 12 hours? .......... Yeah, I guess so.Christopher

My wife decided to try out the Black Friday thing at WalMart of all places for her first time. Needless to say she didn't stay gone long and only ended up bringing home a printer for the computer. Haha. I don't ever try to get out with all those folks. I'll just wait until a week or so after and catch the other sales. I might not save as much but it's not worth the couple extra dollars for me to get up that early or fight the crowds. Sears always has a lot of good deals on tools though. I need to swing by there and get some new inventory for the ol' toolbox.Josh

Man that looks good! I've got something similar but without the middle section. I wanted black but red was on sale when I got it a few years back. I need to get the other 3 drawers like you did so I can keep stocking.
For Shop My Way customers Sears started its Black Friday event the Sunday before Thanksgiving at 5pm Eastern. You could log in, print out a coupon code (actually three -- one for each section) for the toolbox you bought, and take it to the store in advance of the Black Friday sale.
It was kinda cool doing my Black Friday shopping on Monday with no people or lines around.
I also took advantage of 5% sale prices and a 10% coupon (total 15% discount) and free shipping from kbcarstuff.com -- where I ordered my Rigid lighting.
Yeah, I saw your post about it. However, I generally dislike the ideas of signing up for that kind of stuff because while they may not send you spam now, I can guarantee they will in the future. I also didn't have the time or vehicle to fit it in without going through extra trouble during the week. I lost several hours of my life and sleep to it, but I'll live.
As for the box, it's nice for the price, but it's really a very bottom-end box in terms of quality and features. The ad claimed it was a ball bearing box, but it has the standard friction slides and also doesn't have the griplatch feature. It'll hold me over for 2-3 years until I can afford the box I want.

Tell us: Are you ready for a Golden Gate Bridge without toll takers?
Published: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 1:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 1:54 p.m.
The Golden Gate Bridge is planning to automate all of its toll-taking by March.
Humans no longer will collect tolls, nor will motorists stop to pay them. Instead, people will have the option of using FasTrak or opening a pay-as-you-go license-plate account. If you do neither and still drive through the toll gate, you can expect to receive an invoice in the mail.
Got an opinion about the new system?
Please send an email to reporter Derek Moore. Be sure to include a phone number where you can be reached.

Advocates for more stringent clean-air regulations are rejoicing in recent action by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which granted a waiver that will allow for stronger vehicle emissions standards for car models built in 2017-2025.
The waiver allows California to implement vehicle-related smog and particle pollution controls, greenhouse gas emission standards and a zero-emission vehicle standard.
The California Clean Cars Campaign called it a victory for the health and welfare of Californians. The campaign is comprised of top business, consumer, health, labor, environmental and community leaders and organizations.
"I am proud to have played a role in supporting California's efforts to move the country toward this remarkable achievement on clean cars, said campaign co-chair Wendy Greuel, Los Angeles City Controller. "We stand ready to support the kind of market growth and development that this rule envisions."
Campaign co-chair Ken McEldowney, executive director of Consumer Action, said the waiver is "especially good news for the poorest among us who disproportionally suffer from the health effects of pollution."
Automakers are already announcing plans to increase production of hybrid powertrains, battery electric cars and fuel cell vehicles," said campaign co-chair Bruce Klafter, a sustainability expert at Applied Materials.
The EPA has granted more than 50 California waivers in the past four decades. In 2009, the Obama administration granted the state a waiver to implement clean-vehicle standards through model year 2016.

Six police officers were promoted and sworn into their new positions on Tuesday, Dec. 4, including a new captain, two lieutenants and three sergeants.
"I found myself repeating, 'I couldn't be more proud," Brick Township Police Chief Nils Bergquist said prior to his officers being sworn into their new positions in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
A captain and lieutenant had retired in the past month, leading to the promotions, township officials said.
"Having officers getting promoted for me was a sign of us getting back to normal," said Councilman Joseph Sangiovanni, who lost his waterfront ranch house to Hurricane Sandy.
The following officers were promoted with their new ranks: Capt. Robert Mazza, Lt. Terrence Covert, Lt. David Forrester, Sgt. Patrick Cook, Sgt. Larry Petrola, and Sgt. Jason Matthews.

programming language
<language> A formal language in which computer programs are written. The definition of a particular language consists of both syntax (how the various symbols of the language may be combined) and semantics (the meaning of the language constructs).
Languages are classified as low level if they are close to machine code and high level if each language statement corresponds to many machine code instructions (though this could also apply to a low level language with extensive use of macros, in which case it would be debatable whether it still counted as low level). A roughly parallel classification is the description as first generation language through to fifth generation language.
The other major classification of languages distinguishes between imperative languages, procedural language and declarative languages.
Programming languages time-line/family tree.

Uncle's Games at Westlake Shopcenter in Tukwila, Washington is one of the most successful D&D Encounters locations in the WPN. They pull in 30 to 40 players and DMs every Wednesday to play each next exciting installment. We had a chance to sit down with Ray Grant, Assistant Manager of Uncle's, to ask him how they make Encounters such a success.
WPN: How do you run D&D Encounters at your store?
Ray Grant: We run two sessions each Wednesday night, staggered about two hours apart. We have adequate space for five to six tables. Most Wednesdays they're all full. We always have a mix of player types, from players brand new to D&D to ones that have been playing for years. Some tables have consistent players and DMs every week, while others change their DM and party from week to week. We don't try to artificially mix players, but the players usually switch it up on their own between seasons, trying new DMs or new adventuring companions. The groups usually mingle and chat afterward, talking about how their session went or how they handled certain fights, and that means all the players know each other, even if they don't sit at the same table.
WPN: How do you publicize D&D Encounters for your store?
RG: Our most valuable publicity has come from word of mouth. Not only do players tell other players about Encounters, but in the store we talk about Encounters to anyone that picks up a D&D book. The Seattle D&D Meetup group has also been invaluable for getting the word out on Encounters at our store.
WPN: What do you do to attract new players?
RG: It's the first thing we suggest to a customer, even before we try to sell them their first D&D book. The best way to get a player in to D&D is to get them to play. We instruct our DMs to help new players make characters when they start playing. The experienced players get into it too and help new players at their table.
WPN: How do you satisfy returning players?
RG: The program itself makes it attractive to returning players. The Encounters program is consistent, with players not worrying if enough people will show up for a game. Plus we have a big Encounters crowd. Lots of players means you build a community in your store with people that have a common interest.
WPN: What do you add to the program to make it more attractive to players?
RG: We have a "reserve program" that players can pay into if they want. We don't have a fee to play in Encounters. But if the players pay into the reserve program, they're invited to a pizza party at the end of the season. We also offer 15% off D&D books on Wednesdays for anyone who plays in Encounters, which also does a lot to drive attendance.
WPN: What do you do to attract DMs?
RG: We offer our DMs free pizza at the end-of-season pizza party, and they love the 15% off D&D books each Wednesday. But honestly, DMs get excited to run games for an engaged crowd like we have, many of whom are their friends. Our players are pretty versatile, with players playing or DMing as necessary based on the crowd any given night. Encounters provides DMs guaranteed players and Uncle's gives them a guaranteed place to play.
WPN: How do you get new players to come back and become an Uncle's Games customer?
RG: The game itself is honestly the biggest draw. It is fun and incredibly new player friendly. Plus Encounters lets them try the game with experienced players and DMs.
The way we keep players engaged when Encounters isn't happening is by talking to them. If they were at an Encounters session and come back later that week, we ask them about how the session went. We ask them about their characters, about how a particular encounter went or what cool stuff they did. Players love interaction like that. That builds up a relationship not just with D&D, but with the store as well, which is the most important part of getting them to come back.
WPN: What's the most valuable thing Uncle's does to improve Encounters?
RG: We allow our DMs and players customization of their experience. A lot of stores and DMs stick rigidly to what's published in the Encounters kit, but the best thing they can do to keep people engaged is to let the DMs change things up for their players. Let players make their own characters, even when they're pretty new.
We also do everything we can to make sure we have a good crowd, and we give Encounters a lot of space. Nothing draws a crowd like a crowd. We publicize every chance we get, and tell every customer about it. That way we make sure we have as many players as possible, and enough space to fit them without feeling crammed.
WPN: What is the most valuable thing Uncle's gets from Encounters?
RG: Bottom line: it means sales. Not just selling books, but accessories: dice, dice bags, playmats, anything that a gamer might want. Gamers are loyal to the places they play, and if they're having a great time at Encounters at Uncle's Games, they're more than happy to buy their books and roleplaying accessories from us.

Quality bedding is often defined by the thread count of the fabric, whether it's a sheet, a comforter or a blanket. Thread count is the number of woven threads in one square inch of fabric. Higher thread counts create higher-quality weaves that generally feel smoother and softer. Lower thread counts can pill and feel rough, but are affordable and serve their purposes just fine.
Common thread counts range from 180 to 320, but thread counts as high as 700 also exist. The thread count alone doesn't determine how a fabric performs and feels, though. You'll also want to look at the yarn size and ply when determining the level of quality you desire.
Yarn Size: Yarn size refers to the thickness of the individual threads that make up a woven fabric. The higher the yarn size, the finer the thread. Quality sheets usually have a yarn size ranging from 40 to 100. Finer yarns can only be made from high-quality, long staple cottons such as Supima. Yarn size is important to thread count because finer yarns take up less space than thicker yarns, thus the highest thread count sheets are generally made from the finest yarns.
Ply: The other important component to thread count is ply. Single ply fabrics are made from individually woven threads of yarn, while two-ply fabrics are made from two threads of yarn that are first twisted together and then woven. Since two-ply fabrics have essentially double the thread count of their single ply counterparts, two-ply fabrics must be made from extremely fine yarns, otherwise the end product might feel too bulky and heavy.

Lee and other teammates were supporting an Iraqi Army unit during military operations with Army forces in Ramadi, the provincial capital of Anbar province in western Iraq that has seen regular attacks by insurgents.According to the award citation, provided to Navy Times by Geisen, Lee was conducting clearance operations in south-central Ramadi with members of a Naval Special Warfare Combat Advisory element."During the operation, one element member was wounded by enemy fire. The element completed the casualty evacuation, regrouped and returned onto the battlefield to continue the fight," the citation reads. "Petty Officer Lee and his SEAL element maneuvered to assault an unidentified enemy position. He, his teammates, Bradley Fighting Vehicles and Abrams tanks engaged enemy positions with suppressive fire from an adjacent building to the north."To protect the lives of his teammates, he fearlessly exposed himself to direct enemy fire by engaging the enemy with his machine gun and was mortally wounded in the engagement. His brave actions in the line of fire saved the lives of many of his teammates," it states.
"It was so like Marc to give up his life to save his friends," his mother, Debbie Lee, told the Hood River News. "I am so proud of him. He is my hero."[...]Navy officers told Debbie Lee that her son died after single-handedly holding off enemy fighters as his team rescued a wounded soldier from a rooftop.SEALs rely on each other like brothers, so it is no surprise that Lee gave his life saving his brothers, said Rep. Greg Walden, who represents Hood River, where Lee grew up, and was one of about a dozen speakers.

Best Budgeting Strategies for the Self-Employed
Managing your own money is hard enough, let alone your company's as well.
You're a solopreneur. You have your own business. You are self-employed. Whatever definition you use, if you're working for yourself and don't have a full-time staff helping bring in a strong six or seven figures in revenue a year, you probably occasionally, or often, have budgeting issues. After all, you don't just have to do the work for your business – you have to collect your paycheck, possibly from a variety of sources, some who pay on time, and some who may not.
So if you're one of the estimated 15.3 million people in the country (according to Census data) who consider themselves self-employed, and you're looking for strategies to keep your budget in line, consider the following ideas from solopreneurs.
Underestimate income and overestimate expenses. That's what Hope Hunt does. Hunt, 38, a resident of Williamsburg, Va., owns EPOH, a virtual assistant service (it stands for Every Person's Office Help). She began her company seven years ago and says it took her 18 months before she made anything resembling a sustainable income. Lately, her annual income has been between $70,000 and $100,000.
"My worst month in recent years was about $1,600, whereas my best was about $10,000," Hunt says. "It definitely fluctuates and can be quite nail-biting at times."
[Read: How to Stop Depending on Your Paycheck.]
And so Hunt, who also has the challenge of being a single mom of six kids and lacking a second income in the household, always assumes the least amount of income will come in during a given month. She also doesn't pull any punches when planning out her expenses, estimating, for instance, that unfixed costs like school supplies or clothes shopping might turn out to be north of reasonable.
Bill often. That sounds like a given, but when you're busy working, it can be easy to miss the fact that if you don't send out invoices periodically, checks don't come in periodically, and then periodically you can't eat.
"The biggest cash-flow problem is my billing rate," says Peter Puglisi – and keep in mind he's a bookkeeper.
"I'm currently addressing that," adds Puglisi, a certified public accountant who hails from Wappingers Falls, N.Y. But not billing regularly is an easy trap to fall into, even for the best budgeters when they're deep in the weeds of work and in demand.
Careful on the unnecessary purchases. Everyone occasionally gives in and buys the flashy gadget their business doesn't really need, but make sure it doesn't happen often. "In other words, don't consume or gamble. Simply invest. Invest in what will make your business better," Puglisi says, offering the example that some small business owners will buy the most expensive scanner-fax-copier combo they don't really need.
Says Puglisi: "You don't need to go out and sign up for a standalone, super machine from Canon that comes with the monthly lease."
Keep a rainy day fund or a line of credit on hand. If you own your own business, you know this, but you may not do it. Joshua Carlson, a resident of St. Louis, does. He owns Carlson Galleries, which bills itself as the largest antique lighting store on the Web.
His company does very well, especially for being a two-year-old business run by a 25-year-old. His month-to-month sales "swing wildly," as he puts it, from $30,000 to $70,000 a month.
[See: 10 Questions That Will Help You Earn More Money.]
Of course, plenty of that money is reinvested back into inventory, although if he knows he is facing a slow month, he makes fewer purchases. Carlson says he doesn't have a structured salary that he pays himself, although he estimates he probably makes $150,000 a year.
"My personal costs change depending what I'm spending on travel and fun toys, so that's a moving target," he says. If his company is experiencing a slow period, he adds, he will go without a salary to make sure the business can cover its bills and run smoothly.
"I've never been in a situation where I have defaulted on any bills, but there have been a couple of times I have dipped into a small line of credit to get us through the month," Carlson says, and while he refers to "us," us is just him.

Preschoolers in Somerset County are improving their math and literacy skills with just a touch of a screen.
Through funding from North Star School District's Keystones to Opportunity grant, the Learning Lamp was able to implement the iStartSmart computer learning system in its Jennerstown preschool in September.
The Learning Lamp Center for Children in Jennerstown is an early childhood provider for the school district. In May, the district was awarded a KtO grant to develop a districtwide birth to grade 12 literacy plan, which included starting the iSS system at the Jennerstown preschool location.
The project puts touch-screen tablet computers in the hands of youngsters, ages 3 through 5, that are programed with interactive games geared toward math and reading.
"The iSS computer learning system focuses on helping children develop core skills essential for school readiness," said Erica Ponczek, the Learning Lamp's director of child development and early learning. "Because it's research and standards based, it's preparing children for kindergarten with content and approaches that are built upon foundational concepts of early childhood education and directly correlate to state early learning standards."
The preschool has five units and the computers serve as a complement to traditional book learning and are rotated into curriculum throughout the day.
"Children practice skills until they have mastered them; that's when the computer unlocks the next level," said Kayla Trexel, director of the Jennerstown facility. "If they have trouble, they can follow a prompt that tells them to ask the teacher for help."
In addition, the Learning Lamp received a $10,000 grant in September from PNC Grow Up Great that has allowed the agency to purchase two sets of iSS computers for the Learning Lamp Center for Children in Somerset.
The Somerset preschool is a collaborative classroom with Appalachia Intermediate Unit 8. For children with special learning needs, the iSS mobile tablets are used to encourage interactivity, promote group discussions and problem solving among pupils, as well as develop independence and fine motor skills.
Additional plans call for integrating the tablets into the Learning Lamp's preschools in Cambria and Bedford counties.
"Technology has changed how we read and learn, and there is now an emphasis on digital literacy," Ponczek said. "This is increasing skill level, and the kids are having fun while doing it."

NuHair Hair Regrowth for Women
NeHair Hair Regrowth for Women was formulated to help combat hair loss with a nutritional approach; natural ingredients that nourish and support hair regrowth from the inside out. Specially formulated with phytoestrogenic properties to help women keep their hair, the product works in three ways:
1. Helps block the negative effects of DHT to reduce hair loss.*
2. Provides natural phytoestrogens for hormone balance.*
3. Nourishes hair follicles with vital co-factor nutrients.*
NuHair DHT Blocker
Dihydrotestosterone or "DHT", is the "bad form" of testosterone and is the purported cause of age-related hair loss in men and women. DHT appears to cause hair follicles to enter a resting phase faster, causing hair shedding to occur at a quicker rate, ultimately leading to the follicles shutting down and becoming dormant. NuHair DHT blocker contains vital nutrients that emerging research suggests may help combat age-related hair loss and promote thick, vibrant hair growth. The DHT blocking effect is enhanced by the addition of saw palmetto and phytosterols. The result is healthier, stronger, thicker hair for men and women.*
Extra Strength Thinning Hair Serum
NuHair Thinning Hair Serum is world renowned and one of the most advanced natural formulas for hair care today. Vital nutrients and natural immune boosters nourish the hair follicle receptor sites and replaces lost vitamins and minerals to guard against damaging agents, transforming thinning hair into thicker feeling hair. Its lipoceutical technology is safe and effective for both men and women and can help slow the hair loss process to help keep the hair you have.*

MACON — This year is shaping up to be a busy year for alligators in the Macon area, which is on the northern end of the reptiles' range in Georgia.
An alligator found this week is the third one this month, The Telegraph reported (http://bit.ly/11xGOIt ).
Abundant rain during mating season could explain the multiple gator reports, authorities said.
In the latest case, someone spotted a gator near an Interstate 75 exit ramp around 2 a.m. Wednesday and called 911. Two eyes were glowing from the tall grass off I-75 near Hartley Bridge Road.
Jason Clark of Southeastern Reptile Rescue was called to the deal with the animal.
Clark had already captured two nearly 10-foot gators earlier in the month.
On June 2, one slithered under the deck of a vacant home on Bloomfield Road in south Macon.
Nine days later, Hosie Mackey had one in his backyard on Kiernan Drive in east Bibb County.
The alligators are being found about 75 miles southeast of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
