The current deluge of rain has been on the minds of commissioners as Precinct 2 Commissioner Rashad Q. Mims I reported during Monday's commissioners court meeting that a bridge had completely washed out in his precinct, but had been repaired and is passable for the residents affected.
According to Mims, the incident occurred at about 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, with a group of hunters traveling across a bridge on Anderson County Road 2933 reporting that the bridge had "crumbled down" behind them.
"We worked all day and by 10 p.m. the bridge was passable," Mims said. "There were about 25 homeowners and multiple land owners affected by the washout."
The two-lane bridge has been reduced to one lane by the wash out, with cones and signs directing travelers about its use being "one way in and one way out," Mims reporting, adding that large oil-field trucks would not be able to cross.
"I want to thank my fellow commissioners for offering their assistance and materials in helping to get the bridge repaired," he said.
Also during the meeting, District Attorney Doug Lowe presented a report about the work in his department, stating that year-to-date, the department has seen 2,376 misdemeanor and 1,319 felony cases; has held 13 jury trials, six of which were murder trials (all with guilty verdicts) held in the first six months of 2013; has received $193,000 in hot check collections and $32,892 in bond forfeitures; and has donated $20,000 in computers and equipment to the IT department following a property seizure.
"The number of cases have at least doubled in the last six years," Lowe said, with County Judge Robert Johnston noting that no staff increases have occurred to accommodate that increased case load.
According to Lowe, a portion of those funds accrued by the DA's office, $2,500, was donated to the Crisis Center of Anderson County who partners with the DA's office in the prosecution of sexual assault and abuse cases.

Tigers infielder Omar Infante is expected to be fully healed from a broken wrist by the time spring training rolls around.
The Detroit Tigers took a pair of Double A players in 2B Jeff Kobernus and LHP Kyle Lobstein in the Rule 5 Draft on Thursday.
Dave Dombrowski spoke on the trade of Andy Oliver to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Detroit Tigers veteran manager Jim Leyland took time at the MLB winter meetings to explain how the team might replace closer José Valverde in the upcoming season.
The Tigers traded 25-year-old pitcher Andy Oliver to Pittsburgh on Wednesday for catcher Ramon Cabrera.
In addition to being named the Baseball Writer's Association of America's American League MVP, Miguel Cabrera was awarded the MLB MVP GIBBY award on Tuesday.
Detroit Tigers right-hander Anibal Sanchez has already been offered a handful of five-year contracts in free agency according to a report.
It's becoming increasingly unlikely that the Tigers will be able to acquire a shortstop like Asdrubal Cabrera or Stephen Drew this offseason.
The Tigers announced some changes to their coaching staff Wednesday afternoon.
The Tigers still have high expectations for Nick Castellanos despite his struggles in the Arizona Fall League.

Vermont Country Store names new CEOBy Bruce Edwards
Staff Writer | February 13,2013WESTON — The Vermont Country Store has promoted Chris Vickers to president and chief executive officer, the Orton family announced Wednesday
A veteran of the retail industry, Vickers joined the company in 2010 as chief merchandising and marketing officer. Previously, Vickers served as vice president of merchandising at L.L. Bean. He holds a masters in business administration from Harvard Business School and a bachelor's degree from Colby College.
"Chris has done an outstanding job bringing new expertise and focus to our business, particularly in Merchandising and Marketing," said Eliot Orton, chairman of the board of The Vermont Country Store. "He is a natural leader and personally embodies the core values of practicality, frugality, family and community that permeate everything we stand for."
Vickers said he was honored to be a part of the Orton family business, "with strong values, that creates a tremendous emotional connection with its customers."
He said last year was one of the best years in the company's history with the company "well positioned for future growth."
Founded in 1946, The Vermont Country Store is nationally known as The Purveyors of The Practical and Hard to Find, serving customers nationwide through its catalogs, online, and at two retail stores in Weston and Rockingham.MORE IN This Just InRUTLAND — Vermont police say 27 people have been arrested in a drug sweep in the city of...

From Staff Reports
Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
The Coyote Squadron is excited to share that the 2013 Annual Corsicana AirSho on May 11, will feature the historic Warbird, The Black. The Black is a Cessna 0-2 Skymaster flown by Karen Brinkley of Grand Prairie.
The plane's history is fascinating. It was delivered to NKP, Thailand, in September of 1967 and flew as a Nail night bird until 1971. It was then transferred to Bien Hoa, SVN and flew day and night missions there until 1974. At that time, it was sent to Battle Creek, Mich., where it was flown until 1980. It went into storage from 1980 to 1996 when it was restored in Florida to the paint scheme it had in Thailand.
The 0-2 Skymaster's pilot, Brinkley, is as special as the plane itself. Brinkley was brought up in a family that enabled her to be around flying and pilots all her life. Her dad was a 30 year Army Aviator who flew L-Birds in World War II and the Korean Conflict and Army fixed wing planes for many years thereafter. His career enabled Brinkley to grow up all over the world and be exposed to flying, many aircraft types, and wonderful pilots during that time.
While working in the investment field, she secured her pilot license. Not long after getting her license, her instructor encouraged her to start working toward becoming a Commemorative Air Force pilot. He also taught her to do her own maintenance. She then bought and restored the CAF YO-55 Lil Yellow Rose. When she finished the restoration, she was "blessed" by the staff at the CAF to fly the Lil Rose to many airshows in Texas and all the surrounding states for many years. In 2001 she bought the Black 0-2 from a friend and fellow CAF member.
Brinkley's background in aviation seems to have provided the perfect foundation for the preservation of the history of The Black and the people who flew this aircraft. She got involved with the Forward Air Controller Association and has been in contact with all 19 men that flew her airplane. She participates in reunion activities for these groups.
"It is a labor of love and respect that I feel for them," she said. They in turn are very appreciative of her efforts to insure that their history is told at the AirSho. She also has much support from the CAF and war bird community which allows her to bring the plane to shows in many parts of the country.
"This is my tribute to my dad to all those that serve this country in our military and especially the guys from the Vietnam Era," Brinkley said.
Karen Brinkley and her Black 0-2 will be joined at the Corsicana AirSho on May 11 by Mark Howard from Edmond, Okla., flying a Fairchild PT-26, a World War II fighter from the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison, the T-6 from the Flight of the Phoenix Museum in Gilmer, and many more War birds. In addition there will be performing precision flight teams such as the Falcon Flight, a team of certified RV-6's and the Texas V-Tails, a certified team of Bonanzas, and classic tail draggers and various modern civilian aircraft.

San Francisco Snow Cones
I'm not sure if there are places that call it a snow cone (or Sno-Cone?), but there are lots of places that sell shave ice -- May's in Japantown comes to mind but I think other places in Japantown and Hawaiian restaurants are your best bets. Many bubble tea parlors such as Tapioca Express sell very snow-cone-ish drinks in a huge variety of flavors, and some may even sell shave ice. For the finest in shave ice, go to Shuei-Do in San Jose Japantown, but they won't sell it until the summer.

Arizona State was denied right to wear black uniforms against Arizona
The Arizona State Sun Devils had hoped to wear their black uniforms against rival Arizona, who donned all red last Friday for the Duel in the Desert.
When ASU heard Arizona's uniform choice, the Sun Devils decided they, too, wanted to wear the uniforms they felt would leave a lasting impression on audiences across the country.
"[Arizona] decided to wear all red and it's a national TV game and ESPN is showing it nationwide," ASU athletic director Steve Patterson told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Tuesday. "So, we thought what's our best looking uniforms? The black ones."
But the Devils' request was flat out denied.
"We called down there to ask permission because the home team gets the right to approve it or not to approve it," Patterson said. "It wasn't like we called down and asked to wear maroon while they are wearing red and we got turned down."
Apparently, according to Patterson, the decision made Pac-12 history.
"According to the folks at the conference, they've never, ever heard of that happening before," Patterson said.
The Devils got the last laugh, however, when they beat the Wildcats on their home turf to recapture the coveted Territorial Cup.

The Village of Glenview announced in November it would help businesses affected by the fatal, July train derailment by paying rent while Shermer Rd. traffic remains blocked by a Union Pacific stone bridge.
But Declan Morgan, owner of McGovern's Tavern at the corner of Shermer Rd. and Willow Rd., told the Chicago Tribune he's still going into debt because of low customer turnout.
Jashwant Patel, owner of the Wil-Sher Subway restaurant told the Chicago Tribune Glenview's financial aid are barely keeping the store operating and "there is no money left for anything."
Shermer Rd. is expected to stay closed for two years while Union Pacific designs and builds a new bridge to span the street and restore traffic to the area.

- 3 finely chopped garlic cloves
- 1 t. ground ginger
- 1 t. ground coriander
- 1 t. cayenne
- 1/2 t. turmeric
- 3 T. chopped peanuts
- 3 T. vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 4-inch piece of ginger, grated or chopped very fine
- Salt
- 4-6 skinless catfish fillets
- Oil for frying
- 2 T. corn starch
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 T. cayenne
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot, about 2-3 minutes, then saute the garlic, peanuts, ground ginger, turmeric, coriander and cayenne for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
Move this to a food processor, and add the lemon juice and buzz to combine. Add the grated ginger and a little salt, then buzz just to combine, maybe 10 seconds or so. This is your marinade.
Slice the catfish fillets into thirds and salt well. Set aside for 15-20 minutes.
Coat the catfish in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and then cover it completely with the ginger marinade. Cover and put in the fridge for an hour.
Heat enough oil to come up about 1/2 inch in a heavy skillet, like a cast-iron frying pan, to about 350 degrees.
In a shallow pan, mix in 1 tablespoon salt, the tablespoon of cayenne, the corn starch and the flour to combine.
Take the catfish out and scrape off most of the marinade; it's OK if there is some still on the fillets. Dredge in the seasoned flour and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn once if the fish is not submerged in the oil.
Serve with steamed rice and veggies.

For immediate release:
Feb. 5, 2013
INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana House Education Committee today passed legislation authored by Rep. Justin Moed (D-Indianapolis) that encourages the state's brightest students to stay in Indiana to teach.
[Listen to audio of Rep. Moed explaining House Bill 1443.]
House Bill (HB) 1443 offers loan forgiveness to students who graduate in the top 20% of their high school class or who place in the top 20th percentile on the SAT or ACT, and who commit to at least three years of teaching in Indiana.
Additionally, the students must maintain at least a 3.5 GPA in college and teach in high need areas, such as science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM), Special Education, and certain geographical shortage areas.
"In return for loan forgiveness, students in turn must commit to teaching in Indiana for a minimum of three years," said Moed. "This proposal acts as an incentive for students to stay in Indiana to pursue their craft, and helps address some of the serious teacher shortages we have in the state.
"We want to keep our best students here and simultaneously improve education for future generations," he added.
According to Moed, the bill was a bipartisan effort.
"Members from both parties helped me with this proposal," he said. "Everyone agreed this would benefit the state of Indiana."
HB 1443 passed through committee unanimously with a 12-0 vote, and will now be presented to the full House for consideration.

I have been playing around with C# for the past few weeks and have been having fun making some pretty simple programs that I made to help with some OOP techniques and just generally learning new things about how C# works. The end goal...
Hey Guys, I saw this video about 5 years ago and the author Never released any Source or what ever.
It can be wrote in any Language as you wish. (script language) C#, Lua, python .. Java .. What ever you want. I just want something that work...
I started learning C, which I would compile and run really basic stuff in. However, when I try compiling something with C++, I get an error at the #include <iostream>.
I heard Visual Basic is better for C++, however when I tried New Project > C++ >...
I made a math extension file/library thing. I tested the functions for speed, they are as fast as I could get them. If I fucked up something tell me. You can use it for what ever you want, no credit or stupid shit like that needed.
I've been using it...
I`m building a mesh importer and I got a problem. When I apply a texture on the build mesh object it looks inverted(TEXT, numbers). Flipping normals don`t do any good. And I can`t seem to find an answer in the help files.
Firstly, I know there is a thread for help requests but I'd rather make this an individual thread which can be closed or ignore easily after being answered rather than spamming up the help thread.
I followed this tutorial for the project I made and...
I've been looking at several sites such as codeacademy and such, but I'm having trouble finding a definitive consensus from people that actually know the language.
Facepunch, what do you recommend?
I really want to port some weapons and not only from a game, called Soldier of Fortune, which is running on edited Q2 engine. I'll credit the person who makes it. So yup, I have almost all data about format: Vertex Compression data and official model...
Hi everybody,
Just wanted to ask if anyone knew off some decent books so I can read up
on Java Spring Framework.
Any link a book on Amazon or Online etc.. would be lovely.
Really want a good starting point on Spring, for developing a REST API.

The Orange Leader
Anne Borg lit a fire early in the bottom of the first inning with a big three-run home-run blast to help lead the Bridge City Cardinals to a blazing 16-1 District 21-3A victory in four innings over the Hardin-Jefferson Lady Hawks Tuesday night at Lady Cardinal Field.
The Lady Cardinals pounded out 15 hits against H-J starter Taryn Huff as they improved their 21-3A mark to 5-1.
Borg finished 3-for-3 with a homer, a triple and a double. Bailey Thibodeaux was 3-for-4 while Kaleigh Carter, Kasey Frederick, Hanna Carpenter and Faith Kaufman all had two hits.
Kellyn Cormier picked up the win on the hill for Bridge City. She allowed three hits while striking out three.
The Lady Cardinals touched Huff for seven runs on eight hits in the bottom of the first with Borg's three-run shot highlighting it.
Cormier drew a one-out walk and Frederick followed with a sharp single to left. Courtesy runner Hanna Faulk scored the first run after an error at second base off a Kelsey Fults' grounder.
Borg made it 4-0 in a hurry when she lifted a Huff offering deep to right centerfield as the ball just cleared the wall for a three-run jolt.
Thibodeaux and Carpenter followed with back-to-back singles. Kaufman brought home Thibodeaux with a RBI single up the middle. After Carter singled to load the bases, Cormier plated Carpenter with a single up the middle. Frederick promptly picked up her second hit of the inning, scoring Kaufman with a RBI single to centerfield to make it 7-0.
Bridge City tacked on three more runs in the bottom half of the second.
Borg drew a leadoff walk and Thibodeaux reached on a error at second and Carpenter loaded the bases with a bunt single.
Kaufman sliced a RBI single to right to plate Borg and Carter brought in two more runs to up the margin to 10-0 by cracking a hard single past third base.
The Lady Cardinals tallied three more runs in the third frame.
Borg roped a one-out triple to right and scored off a Thibodeaux RBI single up the middle. Carpenter drew a walk and Thibodeaux would score off a Bailee Bacon grounder that was misfielded at third. Carpenter eventually came in to score off a Kaufman RBI groundout to make it 13-0.
The Lady Hawks strung together three straight hits to grab a run in the top of the fourth.
Karly Smith got H-J's first hit of the night with a infield single. Sam Derrick reached on a single to right and Smith darted home after a hard-hit double to the centerfield wall by Huff.
Bridge City ended it with three runs in the bottom of the fourth.
Frederick and Fults reached on back-to-back one-out errors. Borg completed her great night with a RBI double to right. Thibodeaux added a RBI single to right and Carpenter had a RBI groundout to finish it off.
The Lady Cardinals will travel to Orange County rival West Orange-Stark on Thursday.

Rhodes Brothers play Banner Elk July 1
The Banner Elk Chamber of Commerce's third Summer Concert in the Park will be on Thursday, July 1, featuring the Rhodes Brothers.
The Rhodes Brothers Band has been performing together for 28 years. Headed by Tim and Chris Rhodes (vocals, keyboards and guitar) and Dave Calvert (drums), the group formed while attending Appalachian State University in the early '80s and performing at spots like P.B. Scotts and Antlers in Blowing Rock.
The group has since performed in Asheville and Charlotte, as well as other cities in North Carolina. Occasionally, they're joined by former member Lory Morgan, guitarist, as well as Doyle Lawson, fiddle player, and Alan Johnson, bassist.
Johnson's's brother, Bruce, was the original bassist in the band, and Alan, at age 12, was the fiddle player when they performed at the opening of Sugar Top.
Last year, they headlined the Avery County Fair in Newland and will be doing so again this year on Sept. 18.
The band performs a variety of music, including blues, Motown, Top 40 and dance. For booking information, call Calvert at (828) 733-8985.
The concert starts at 6:30 p.m. at the stage behind Bank of America on N.C. 194. Chairs, blankets and coolers are encouraged, and food will also be available for purchase at the concert. Raffle tickets can be purchased for prizes, as well as for the 50/50 split of the "pot."
The sponsor of this concert is Mountain Sotheby's International Realty ( http://www.mountainsothebysrealty.com).
The next Banner Elk Summer Concert in the Park is scheduled for Thursday, July 8, featuring bluegrass from the Johnson Brothers and is sponsored by Vivo's.

Fall brings with it delicious (and dangerous) food options like tailgate foods layered with fat, deep-fried fair snacks, Halloween sweets, and of course, comfort foods. It's easy to see why we tend to pack on pounds in the fall, but that doesn't mean you have to give in to temptation. "Regardless of the season, there are always healthy alternatives. Read labels and gather as much info as possible to help you make the leanest choice," says Robert Reames, a member of the Gold's Gym Fitness Institute. So put down the pumpkin cinnamon bun and learn the truth about 20 belly-busting foods you'll want to avoid to help you stay in fighting shape this fall.
The belly buster: Carbohydrates
Football season is one of the highlights of fall, but you have to be careful you're not drinking a day's worth of calories come Sunday. "Beer has a highly concentrated amount of carbohydrates," said Reames. "In essence drinking a bottle is the equivalent of eating a piece of white bread." Plus, alcohol is an appetite stimulant. And keep in mind that seasonal brews can contain a higher alcohol count, and more alcohol means more calories. For example, Blue Moon Harvest ale has 5.7 percent alcohol (compared with 5.4 percent in a Blue Moon) and contains about 10 calories more per bottle than the regular version.
Hot wings
The belly buster: Calories
No football spread is complete without wings, but this finger food is highly caloric and more of a meal than a snack or appetizer. Not only are wings high in fat, they also have extra sodium from all that sauce. A typical five-wing serving can contain anywhere from 300 to 500 calories, and more than 750 milligrams of sodium, according to Reames.
The belly buster: Sugar
A typical 8.5-ounce serving yields about 30 grams of carbs, 30 grams of sugar, and around 120 calories. "The calorie count is low enough, but the insulin surge from all the sugar and carbs will put your body into fat-storage mode," says Reames. Same goes with apple juice, another fall favorite.
Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte
The belly buster: Sugar
A Grande pumpkin latte contains 310 calories, more than 40 grams of sugar, and 49 grams of carbs. You're better off drinking a tall skinny latte, which has just 120 calories, 14 grams of carbs, and 12 grams of sugar.
Garlic mashed potatoes
The belly buster: Calories
The key to eating this hearty comfort food is portion size: A typical 8-ounce serving yields about 498 calories, 33 grams of fat (21 grams saturated), 43 grams of carbs, and 3 grams of sugar, according to Reames. "You'll be wearing this dish soon after consumption."
Baked acorn squash
The belly buster: Sugar, saturated fat
This seasonal vegetable is loaded with antioxidants and fiber, but popular recipes tend to make this food a fat bomb. Many recipes call for cooking the dish with loads of butter and brown sugar. "Instead, bake it with a touch of olive oil instead of the butter, and reduce the amount of sugar or maple syrup you add," says Reames.
Rotisserie chicken
The belly buster: Fat, sodium
This homey classic can be a good choice, as long as you steer clear of the skin and dark meat. For example, Reames says a 6-ounce Golden Corral breast and wing combo with skin packs 310 calories, 15 grams of fat (5 grams saturated), 175 milligrams of cholesterol, and a shocking 1,070 milligrams of sodium. "The skin and the dark meat from the wings will increase the fat content on rotisserie chicken, and the skin is where much of the sodium lies as well," he says. By comparison the Costco white rotisserie breast meat for the same serving size packs 240 calories, 6 grams of fat (2 grams saturated), 120 milligrams of cholesterol, and 760 milligrams of sodium, making it a healthier choice.
Corn dog
The belly buster: Carbs, fat
Pass this one up at the fairground. One Wiener schnitzel corn dog packs 250 calories, 12 grams of fat, 29 grams of carbs, and 8 grams of sugar. A standard hot dog isn't much better: A typical beef wiener and roll contain about 272 calories, 8 grams of fat, 39 grams of carbs, and 6 grams of sugar.
Corn bread
The belly buster: High carbohydrates, little fiber
It's a tasty partner to your favorite fall chili and soups, but you might want to rethink this bread choice if you're watching your belly. "One 3.6-ounce piece of corn bread has 46 grams of insulin-spiking carbs, zero fiber, and 328 calories," says Reames. "Foods with these stats drive hunger because they really don't fill you up." A better choice would be a wheat roll, which has about 115 calories, 22 grams of carbs, and more than 3 grams of fiber.
Creamy soups
The belly buster: Fat, sodium
There are many different types of soups out there, and no surprise, the water-based choices are kinder on the waistline in calories and fat. Not only that, but they also are healthier in terms of sodium content. Turns out creamed soups tend to pack more sodium than the broth kind, according to Reames.
He recommends finding a healthy recipe and making the soup at home. "If you use fresh vegetables, a clear broth, and your favorite herbs for flavor, you can keep the fat and sodium content down," says Reames. "Soup takes a long time to eat, so satiety signals will kick in before you're likely to overeat."
The belly buster: Fat
Of course you didn't forget about Oktoberfest this season. But the German celebration brings with it carb-heavy beer, potato salad, and sausage. A typical bratwurst packs about 300 calories and 28 grams of fat.
Pumpkin bread
The belly buster: Carbohydrates, sugar
Rich in vitamin A, pumpkin is a healthy choice -- that is before you add a ton of sugar and flour and turn it into bread.
"Again, the issue with pumpkin bread is the excess carb and sugar content, combined with very little fiber," said Reames. "You have 48 grams of carbs, 29 grams of sugar, and fewer than 2 grams of fiber." But bakers, don't despair: There are healthy recipes out there like this one that reduce the amount of carbs and sugar and beef up the fiber content to make it a safer bet for your waistline.
Marie Callender's Apple Pie
The belly buster: Sugar, carbohydrates
In-season apples are good, but apple pie is not the perfect vehicle for fruit. One slice of this pie sports 18 grams of fat, 42 grams of carbs, and 22 grams of sugar. Because the real driver of fats and sugar is in the crust, a healthier indulgence would be to bake an apple crumble. Just be sure to use a low-sugar recipe.
Candy Corn
The belly buster: Sugar
Stay out of your kids' Halloween baskets and the office candy jar. This ubiquitous October treat is actually just pure sugar. Twenty pieces contain 38 grams of carbs and 33 grams of sugar.
Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Cup
The belly buster: Sugar, fat
If your kids get these in their trick-or-treat bags, toss the mini cups to avoid temptation, says Reames. They might be small, but 11 pieces have 12 grams of fat (6 grams saturated), 23 grams of carbs, and 21 grams of sugar. You're better off choosing one of theseHalloween candies.
Caramel apple
The belly buster: Sugar
One caramel apple typically contains 360 calories, with 6 grams of fat (5 grams saturated), 79 grams of carbs, and 43 grams of sugar. "The only saving grace is that the apple itself has 6 grams of fiber, but that is not enough fiber to blunt the insulin response here," says Reames.
Chicken pot pie
The belly buster: Saturated fat, sodium
When the weather gets chilly, we typically turn to comfort foods like chicken pot pie. But beware, one pie from the grocery freezer case may contain more than 1,000 calories, like this one from Marie Callender. It has 1,440 milligrams of sodium and a belly-expanding 64 grams of fat, 24 grams of which are saturated.
The belly buster: Sodium, calories
A typical serving of this classic comfort food made with meat and cheese can pack almost 700 calories, 22 grams of fat, 13 grams of sugar, and more than 1,850 milligrams of sodium, according to Reames. "You're way over your day's recommendations for sodium in one serving. Add a slice of garlic bread and you could be into your second day, all in one meal," he said.
Make the dish at home using whole wheat lasagna pasta, which has a higher protein and fiber count, coupled with a low-sugar, low-fat tomato sauce. "This would significantly make it easier on your waistline," says Reames.

I don't agree with the ferry system proposal to eliminate the ferry to Bellingham, Wash. and use the Prince Rupert and Canadian road connections to the Lower 48 states.
It may be only inconvenient in the summer but it could be very bad with winter snow conditions. I favor the plan to build a ferry terminal at the south side of Berners Bay, and limiting ferry crews to 12-hour shifts. My plan would include an hourly shuttle ferry connecting to a terminal on the west side of Lynn Canal at William Henry Bay. This west side terminal and road would connect with and terminate at Zimovia Point on the Haines Highway.
This out-of-view, west-side highway extension has been estimated at one-third the cost of the east-side road to Katzehin by avoiding slides and tunneling granite rock.
The Department of Transportation wants to be able to build a bridge between Katzehin and Battery Point. The state bridge road traffic would be directed past the Haines cruise dock, post office and school.
A west-side road and shuttle ferry would eliminate the need for this traffic and hopelessly expensive bridge.

You may find it a bit astonishing, to know that I'm moving to Thesis Theme. As of the bloggers / marketers are dropping thesis theme and moving to Genesis Theme. I had a hard time choosing between Thesis Theme & Genesis Theme, but finally I made the decision to go with Thesis.
It doesn't mean that I don't use Genesis (or don't recommend it), I do use it for most of my niche sites and will be using it for my new business project too, that I'm working on from last 2 months.
To give you a quick answer why I moved to thesis, is because I wanted to learn more about the theme frameworks.
Thesis Theme Framework
Before it, I've been using the Zilla Press theme designed by Orman Clark. It worked really well and is great theme for a small business blog. Another reason for moving to thesis is I like theme framework more than I like $30 / $35 themes.
Thesis Theme is really amazing and sleek theme that comes with a great support. It has fantastic Interface that allows you to rapidly make a great looking blog / site.
Thesis is little bit over pricy. The Developer's license cost $164 which allows you to use thesis on unlimited sites and deploy it on client sites.
It also has a Personal single site option which costs $87 and you can upgrade to developer's license for $77. Apart from it, you can buy custom built skins from third party developers like Kolakube, Thesis Awesome and Thesis Themes.
My experience with thesis is amazing, so far. I am using it from a year & half and never had any issues with it.
It comes with fantastic SEO options, good readability and loads much faster than other premium themes. In the coming weeks, I will be making some more changes and will be getting an new logo to match the new design.
If you are having any issues with thesis theme frame work or WordPress, don't hesitate to contact me.

Still not sure which theme you should go, check out these articles:

Global award for research on human-computer interaction
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Research by Lancaster University and Microsoft has won an award for Best Paper after being judged in the top one per cent of entries worldwide.
"MixFab:A mixed-reality environment for personal fabrication? creates a way for non-specialists to make their own 3D models and print them out.
The research is to be given the Best Paper award at the world-leading ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, which takes place in Toronto in April 2014.
The authors are Christian Weichel, Dr Manfred Lau, and Professor Hans Gellersen from the School of Computing and Communications at Lancaster University and Microsoft's David Kim and Nicolas Villar (who completed a PhD at Lancaster before joining Microsoft in Cambridge).
Professor Gellersen said: "This marks the research as one of the most significant contributions to the field made over the last year."
Personal fabrication machines, such as 3D printers and laser cutters, are becoming increasingly ubiquitous. But designing objects for fabrication still requires 3D modelling skills, making them inaccessible without specialist training.
MixFab enables users to design objects in an immersive augmented reality environment, interact with virtual objects in a direct gestural manner and can introduce existing physical objects effortlessly into their designs.
Christian Weichel said: "MixFab is designed to lower the barrier for users to create content for 3D printing. By using augmented reality, users can create virtual 3D models of objects and see them projected into their working environment. They can shape the 3D models with intuitive hand gestures, and even use physical objects, for example to make the model fit to the shape of an existing object. Once they are done, the 3D model is printed out and immediately usable as a new physical object."
He said a problem which novices have is 3D manipulation and navigation in "flat" 3D design environments.
"However, we all know how to interact with 3D objects in the real world. MixFab transfers this knowledge into the design world by situating the design environment in the physical space and making the virtual objects handleable as if they were physical entities."

The intricate pattern of the facade features a meticulously hand drawn pattern by Milani which references the buildings history dating back to 17th century…
Geometry Love.
20th December
I've been working on a super exciting personal project for the last few weeks, which I hope to be able to tell you about earlier next year. Until then, I thought I'd share with you a few images which illustrate some of the ideas I've been exploring, particularly focusing on geometry.
I am a bit of a geometry nut. I love it. It makes me feel comfortable. I like it when things make sense. And geometry makes sense. Geometry can simplify and rationalise complex shapes and forms by breaking them down into smaller components.
On the flip side, geometry also has the ability to make simple forms seem more interesting. Whilst being quite regimented and rational, geometry can be used to add texture and a sense of play. By breaking down familiar shapes such as a hexagon (one of my personal favorites)…

Hello out there in the world!
Yes, my real name is Sir Jazz, my beautiful mother named me that, everyone just calls me Jazz though. I'm 26 years old, spiritually, mentally and physically healthy. Right now I'm putting myself out there as who I am. I'm gay and looking to share my joy and who I am with those interested in doing the same.
Honesty, trust and loyalty are the things I stand on and live my life by, so if you choose to correspond with me, know this now. My life is in a place where I'm looking to build productive relationships with individuals outside these walls. It's important for me to know and develop friendships with people beyond this environment that has been my life for so long. In our conversations, I'm looking to build bonds that will last longer than this sentence I have and I'm hoping to find something real. Race or ethnic background is not a factor so don't sweat that.
Let me thank all those who take the time to reach out and support us in here and I also need to apologize for those who have wronged anyone out there. All your love and support is greatly appreciated by those of us who are real and I plan to give all my love and support back.
Peace and Love To All!

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
CIA superagent Mitch Rapp battles global terrorism in a high-octane follow-up to The New York Times bestselling Separation of Power -- another chillingly authentic adventure from the master of the political thriller.
Mitch Rapp's cover has been blown. After leading a team of commandos deep into Iraq to prevent Saddam Hussein from joining the nuclear arms race, he was publicly hailed by the president as the single most important person in the fight against terrorism. But after years of working covertly behind the scenes, Rapp now lives in the glare of the public spotlight, lauded by the nation and an easy target for virtually every terrorist from Jakarta to London.
As special advisor on counterterrorism to CIA director Dr. Irene Kennedy, Rapp is ready to fight the war on terrorism from CIA headquarters rather than the front line. That is, until a platoon of Navy SEALs, sent to the Philippines to save an American family kidnapped by radical Islamic terrorists, is caught in a deadly ambush. The mission had been top secret -- so who told the enemy? All evidence points to the State Department and the Philippine embassy. But a greater threat still lurks. An unknown assassin working closely with the highest powers in the Middle East is bent on igniting war. Now, with the world watching his every move, will Rapp be able to overcome this anonymous foe and once again keep the flames of war from raging?
Transporting us into an intriguing geopolitical puzzle full of deadly motives, covert operatives, and all the true-to-life insider detail we've come to expect from Vince Flynn, Executive Power is a high-flying story that delivers shattering suspense with the velocity of a 9mm bullet.

---- — BOSTON — A rock band with Andover roots will return to the Bay State tomorrow as part of a nine-day festival in downtown Boston.
Boys Like Girls, which features Andover High School graduate Martin Johnson as frontman, will play at the Outside the Box music festival tomorrow night at 6:30. Performances are held on Boston Common and City Hall Plaza and, from beginning to end, feature more than 200 performers from around the world. The festival started Saturday.
All four of the Boys Like Girls' members are from Massachusetts. The band's other three members are from Leominster, Mansfield and Watertown, according to lead guitarist Paul DiGiovanni.
The self-proclaimed emo-rock band got its start after Johnson graduated from Andover High School in 2004. His graduation was accelerated through a special project that allowed him to leave school early and launch his musical career.
The band has received interesting points of fame over the years.
It was voted Spin magazine's Artist of the Year in 2006 and an item once available at Denny's, The Great Eggsteak, was named for the band's hit single, "The Great Escape."
After taking a brief hiatus in 2011, the band returned last year with its latest album, "Crazy World."
"We had been on the road for seven or eight years straight and it was nice to have a minute to regroup," DiGiovanni said. "It was so good to be back full-time with each other and it's incredible to work together again."
Tomorrow's show marks the first time that the band has been back in the area in nearly a year, DiGiovanni said.
"We all live in (Los Angeles) right now," he said. "I haven't been back in the area in eight months, the longest in my life."
For some, performing in Boston brings a special meaning after the events at the Boston Marathon earlier this year.
"Being out (in Los Angeles) watching everything was pretty shocking," DiGiovanni said. "We're all happy to be back and couldn't believe all that stuff that was going on."

PHELPS, Wis. (AP) -- A Phelps School District employee is accused of accessing child pornography while at work.
The 61-year-old Phelps man was arrested Monday. Vilas County sheriff's officials are recommending 78 felony counts of possessing child pornography. The sheriff's department investigated after someone from the school district told them in February that an employee was accessing pornographic web sites.
Chief Deputy Joseph Fath tells WAOW-TV the employee no longer works for the district.

SEATTLE -- Republican King County Council member and Attorney General candidate Reagan Dunn tells KING 5 News he will back efforts to legalize same-sex marriage.
In supporting gay marriage legislation, Dunn is staking out a different position from Republican gubernatorial candidate Rob McKenna.
Dunn says his position on gay marriage has been "evolving." As the King County Council prepares to vote on its legislative agenda -- a list of its priorities and positions to the state legislature -- Dunn says he favors a public vote but will support gay marriage legislation regardless.
Dunn's Democratic opponent for Attorney General, fellow King County Council member Bob Ferguson also supports gay marriage. Last week, Governor Christine Gregoire said for the first time, she will support the legislation.
Dunn says his own marriage to his wife played a role in understanding the importance of marriage to gay couples. The council is set to vote on its legislative agenda later today.

WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue University is investigating how a utility room containing dangerous high-voltage wires was left unlocked, allowing a student to walk in and be fatally shocked, officials said Tuesday.
Purdue spokeswoman Jeanne Norberg said an autopsy suggests that Wade Steffey, 19, of Bloomington, tripped and fell behind a transformer inside the room, which is about 50 yards from where he was last seen Jan. 13 after he attended a fraternity party. He likely died instantly when he made contact with high-voltage wires, she said.
The school planned an independent investigation to find out why numerous searches of the campus and outskirts after Steffey vanished did not include a full inspection of the room.
"The search for Wade Steffey is over, but the search for answers continues," Norberg said.
The freshman aviation technology student's body was found Monday by a maintenance worker investigating reports of a "pinging" sound coming from Owen Hall's utility room.
Norberg said Steffey, who did not have a pass key to the dorm, probably walked into the room after trying several doors to get into Owen Hall. Officials believe he was trying to retrieve a coat he left in a friend's room before going to the party.
"He was apparently trying doors and found this door," she said.
Classes resumed Monday after a week's break on the campus in West Lafayette, just off Interstate 65, about 60 miles northwest of Indianapolis. That day, someone called campus maintenance about a noise in the utility room that powers the coed dorm that houses about 700 students.
The worker unlocked the room from inside the hall and found Steffey's body, Norberg said. Afterward, police discovered the room's exterior door closed but unlocked.
Norberg said officials have removed that door's lock assembly for a forensic examination to determine whether the mechanism works.
After Steffey vanished, campus maintenance workers were believed to have checked the utility room for signs of the missing student, she said. Maintenance logs were being checked to determine exactly when it was examined, she said.
In any case, Norberg said workers did not go far enough inside the dark room about the size of a one-car garage to spot the body. The dangerous high-voltage wiring would have required them to cut power to the entire building to fully examine the area, which they did not do, she said.
Steffey's father, Dale, said he was confident Purdue will thoroughly investigate how his son could have ended up in the room and why it wasn't fully locked.
"That door should be locked, absolutely," he said.
Steffey's mother, Dawn Adams, said she was relieved that her only child's body had been found and that she and her husband, both of whom are Bloomington stained-glass artists, had felt for some time that he was dead.
"We have the answer now, the big answer, to where our son is," she said.
During the first few days of the search, investigators called Steffey's cell phone and picked up its signal, which died before they could find it. That phone was found on Steffey's clothing, Norberg said.
Jonathan Foltz, president of Purdue Student Government, said the circumstances of Steffey's death are disturbing and need to be fully investigated.
"Why wasn't this door locked?" he said. "I think the university has a profound obligation to keep its students out of dangerous situations, especially on university property. I'm afraid we may have failed in that regard."
Purdue junior Shari Knight of Danville, Calif., lives in the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority across the street from Owen Hall and questioned why the room was unlocked if it was so dangerous. She said the room should have been checked more thoroughly.
"I don't know how they missed it."
Campus officials had organized several searches for Steffey, the most recent a ground search in the area on Sunday. Anna Hirst, an area resident who helped with the searches, described the community's emotion on hearing the news.
"It's absolutely devastating," she said.

Chris Christie Was Wise to Shun the Presidency
Chris Christie saw the pressure to run for what it is and made the smart choice.
We all want our presidents to possess a basic common sense. And it is that quality that led New Jersey Governor Chris Christie not to seek the Oval Office next year.
GOP voters had been beseeching Christie to run—despite his repeated insistence that he was not interested in doing so, at least not this time. What did he have to say to be more clear? No means no. But many voters didn't want to hear his very direct "no," because they were still searching for a candidate who could galvanize the party.
[Who Will Christie Backers Turn to?]
Christie, with his refreshing directness, likely would have attracted a part of the GOP electorate. But he was wiser than that, seeing the pressure to run for what it is—an attempt to find someone, anyone, who can unite the party.
Others have been victimized by the American Idol-esque competition. Sarah Palin was political flavor of the month for many months, until her LeBron James routine (being too cute by half about what she as going to do) led Republicans to lose patience with her. Michele Bachmann rose to prominence with her very blunt, if fact-challenged, assessment of the state of the nation and the performance of the Obama administration. Then, Rick Perry joined the race and immediately rose in the polls—until his uneven (at best) performances in debates made voter enthusiasm wane. Perry's inartful explanation of why there was a racial epithet written on a rock outside his family's hunting camp in Texas has not made things easier for the Texas governor. Now, according to a recent Washington Post poll, Perry is sharing second place with pizza magnate Herman Cain, a candidate who was considered merely an afterthought just a month ago.
[See political cartoons about the Republican primary.]
The drive to recruit Christie certainly has something to do with the New Jersey governor, who was impressive in his response to Hurricane Irene and has an appealing, Everyman quality. But the pressure to run is also a reflection of the GOP primary electorate's unhappiness with the Republican field. Christie might very well have been another casualty of that internal war, had he decided to jump in the race.
So New Jersey, Christie said with characteristic directness, is "stuck" with him, for the moment. Christie may well develop into a stronger and more seasoned potential presidential candidate. But he is wise to sit this one out.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- State Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey says he sees little chance of state Rep. Joe Carr upsetting U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander in next year's Republican primary.
Ramsey in a conversation with reporters on Wednesday cited his own experience as a 2010 gubernatorial candidate in which he was unable to overcome a vast fundraising disadvantage in the Republican primary won by Bill Haslam.
Asked about Carr's prospects for defeating Alexander, Ramsey responded: "I don't see it happening."
Carr last month abandoned his bid to oust incumbent U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais to instead challenge Alexander for the U.S. Senate.
Alexander's campaign had $3.1 million on hand through the first half of the year, while Carr had about $275,000 from his House race.

Before internet criminals turned hacking into a bad word, hacking was a term used to describe a hobby that involved modifying things (usually electronics or software) to add functionality or unlock secret capabilities. People would try to hack not only computers and networks, but also everyday household products.
There is a community of people out in the world that still carry on the tradition of hobby hacking and many of them do it to save themselves money. Here are some money saving hacks that people have come up with to save money and add new capabilities to existing products. Please note that these are presented for entertainment purposes only, you may void your warranty or possibly cause injury if you actually do some of this stuff. Attempt at your own risk:
1. Make your own Swiffer-like pads
If you're like me, paying money for cleaning cloths that get thrown away after a single use seems like money down the drain. Every time I open a package I say to myself "there's got to be a reusable option somewhere." A few Google searches later, I stumbled on a Consumerist article on 13 Ways to Make Your Own Swiffer pads. They have some pretty ingenious solutions. Most solutions are "green" and involve reusing old clothes. Some people even sew their own pads from a pattern.
2. Keurig coffee maker hacks
If it were between me and our Keurig coffee maker, my wife would surely kick me out of the house before she would part with her Keurig. The versatile Keurig makes coffee, tea, hot chocolate, iced tea, spiced cider and more, but did you know that you can make a cup of noodle soup in an instant with a Keurig? Set the standard size coffee cup, remove any K-cups that might be in the coffee maker and peel the cup of soup lid back. Once it's done, cover the lid for 3 minutes and you have a perfect cup of ramen noodles in under four minutes.
Another neat Keurig hack is using Senseo-branded pods or other espresso-type pods in the Keurig. The Perfect Pod Holster available for about $20 will let you use many non K-cup type pods in your Keurig coffee maker. Just be careful as this could possibly void your Keurig's warranty. Consult your Keurig manual before attempting.
3. Salt hacks
A lot of people are down on salt. We are constantly told to cut back on salt, eat less salt, yada, yada. Salt has gotten a bad rap over the years, but salt can do a lot of really cool stuff.
Did you know you can thoroughly chill a can of soda in less than a minute with ice, water, and a little salt? Salt can put out a grease fire in the kitchen, make milk last longer, prevent mold on cheese, remove soot from your fireplace, and it's even said to remove unwanted tattoos. Check out the Saltworks site for a ton of other salt hacks you can use around the house.
4. Dishwasher hacks
Did you know you could cook an entire meal in your dishwasher? Sounds tasty right? Dishwashers can also be used to wash baseball caps and even make dull hub caps shiny again. You can also clean all sorts of things you never would be able to otherwise such as your vacuum attachments and dustpans. Unplgged.com has some other great ideas of things you can put in your dishwasher, although I'm not sure about the computer keyboard cleaning in the dishwasher they mention, I was always told that electronics and water don't mix well.
5. Money saving printer hacks
In our house, we are constantly using the printer. Photos, recipes, school projects, you name it, we print it, and ink ain't cheap. In fact, on a recent trip to Best Buy I found that buying new ink cartridges for our printer was going to cost us nearly as much as a new printer.
You can save a ton of money by refilling your ink cartridges yourself. Obviously the printer manufacturers are not big fans of this practice and have engineered cartridges so they are not so easy to refill. Fear not, printer cartridge refill providers have developed microchips that they include in their aftermarket refill cartridges that trick the printer into thinking that the refilled cartridge is brand new, bypassing any anti-refill technology that a printer manufacturer might have put in place.
There are both self-resetting chips and resettable chips available. The self-resetting chips are easier to use because they don't require the purchase of a separate reset device.

The Winchester Coalition for a Safer Community has launched a study aimed at understanding how bullying is perceived by the community. Recent legislation, prompted by the widely reported suicides of two children brought on by relentless bullying, was approved on May 3.
The new law requires school districts to implement a "Bullying Prevention & Intervention Plan" by the end of the year. The Coalition has undertaken a "brainstorming" effort this summer to better understand local attitudes.
Utilizing online anonymous technology, individuals throughout Winchester have been asked to respond to the following prompt:
One thing that Winchester families, schools and community groups should do to prevent bullying by children, teens and adults is . . .
In addition to the online collection of data, the Coalition has also hosted live "brainstorming" events using the same prompt.
Close to 300 individual responses, as indicated by unique computer identification numbers, indicate a fascinating variety of ideas and definitions of "bullying." A clear lack of community consensus as to what constitutes bullying behavior is evident.
"There is not agreement in Winchester as to what bullying is" asserts Elizabeth Silva, Director of the Coalition.
The new law defines bullying, as the repeated use by one or more students of a written, verbal or electronic expression or a physical act or gesture or any combination thereof, directed at a victim that: (i) causes physical or emotional harm to the victim or damage to the victim's property; (ii) places the victim in reasonable fear of harm to himself or of damage to his property; (iii) creates a hostile environment at school for the victim; (iv) infringes on the rights of the victim at school; or (v) materially and substantially disrupts the education process or the orderly operation of a school. For the purposes of this section, bullying shall include cyber-bullying" (use of electronic communication equipment).
Online anonymous community response indicates that bullying exists well beyond the school's boundaries. "Adults must be aware of what they are saying to each other in the presence of children. Children will mimic the gossiping. . .that the adults do in this highly competitive town." "Model respect for different ideas, opinions and lifestyles at home and in the community." "Kids emulate their parents and then the adults around them. It's discouraging to read that coaches are part of the problem." "Winchester must work toward acceptance and appreciation of differences — this includes not only the teachers but all adults in town." "Children learn behavior from the adults around them and will 'push the envelope' in school. If the administration . . . continues to ignore bullying it will escalate. Communicate our expectations and hold the adults accountable."
Ideas offered anonymously to help prevent bullying include:
"Start with the adults, so they can better educate their children. Have schools actively call parents when incidents occur so that they know what is happening." "Strong, moral, accountable leadership is the first step for any other program or policy to take shape." "Rules and identified consequences should be made so that everyone is on the same page." "Provide victims with defensive physical and emotional techniques." "Provide parents with educational materials to identify and deal with bullying — from both the perspective of the bully and the target—so that we can march lock-step with educators and know where the line is between normal and aggressive behavior." "Ensure that teachers are trained and willing to identify bullying as it occurs." "Teach respect for human differences (racial, ethnic, physical ability, sexual orientation, etc.)"
Responses from the community within this anonymous forum indicate that sometimes the line between bully and victim is not clear. "Children are often bullied into becoming bullies." "Kids who bully need love too, they shouldn't be treated like an outcast; they may already feel that way to begin with." "I'm not in favor of bullying, but I'm not in favor of kicking a bully out of school or turning it into a legal matter. The world is a tough place and kids need to learn how to deal with negative interactions socially and emotionally."
On a parallel timetable, the school district is working on forming policy.
"We're working with the Winchester Coalition to get parent and community input into how to better handle bullying. They're in the middle of an online mapping process and we're going to use the data they collect from the process in order to help us in formulating policy" said Superintendent William McAlduff.
The Superintendent is already working on a minimum draft policy based on different recommendations from different state associations. The interim policy will directly reflect the new law.
McAlduff is in the midst of forming a "Bullying Task Force" comprised of school district and community members to create the final policy. He anticipates issuing an open call for volunteers prior to the beginning of the school year. Additional input from existing efforts including the High School Student Leadership Initiative, Focus on the Future and curriculum studies will also be included.
The Winchester Coalition for a Safer Community is made up of a wide representation from the School District, Police & Fire Departments, Winchester Hospital, Parent to Parent, Parent/Faculty Associations, Interfaith Council, and other community organizations. The Coalition hopes to continue its work after its current federal funding expires at the end of September.

Let me introduce you to Mick Mulvaney, a candidate for U.S. Congress. About five years ago, Mulvaney, a North Carolina developer, moved to Lancaster County, just a few hundred feet south of the North Carolina line. And soon after moving here, Mulvaney began running for political office. In 2006, he ran for state House. In 2008, he ran for state Senate. Now he is running for U.S. Congress. Thats three different offices in four years. Mulvaney has spent over half his time as an elected official running for higher offices. Mulvaney is hardly a South Carolinian. He still operates his real estate development business from Charlotte. He pays taxes in North Carolina. He owns a restaurant in North Carolina. And he send his children to private school in North Carolina. Most of Mulvaneys life is in North Carolina, except for where he runs for political office. Now more than ever, we need a congressman who will fight for South Carolina jobs, not one who refuses to move his own jobs here from North Carolina. South Carolina has too much at state to trust a congressional seat to someone like Mulvaney, who is a North Carolinian at heart. John Spratt is a native South Carolinian who has lived and worked his whole life in South Carolina. John Spratt has our best interests at heart. On Election Day, lets tell Mick Mulvaney that North Carolina doesnt need another congressman. Gil Small, chairperson Lancaster County Democratic Party
