A longtime Redwood City Chinese restaurant has served up its last handmade won ton.
, which has been in business by most estimates over a quarter of a century, closed down earlier this summer.
The 670 El Camino Real storefront is currently occupied by Brothers Furniture Warehouse.
The Great Wall's owner, who's run the place since it opened, closed because the owner decided to retire from the restaurant business, an employee at the furniture shop said.
The Great Wall has 23 mostly positive Yelp reviews.

SASCO Reviews
Be The First To
Add Photos
33% of the CEO
Larry H. Smead
"Not a great place to work"
Pros – Had enough equipment to work with as an IT professional.
Cons – The owner, Larry Smead, has a very bad attitude and treats everyone with disrespect which filters down to the workforce creating a nasty work environment. A lot of foot traffic, many are fired or demoted for no specific reasons. Went through 4 engineers within a year. Unhappy working environment, not flexible. The Assistant CTO left the company and the company never hired another and put the helpdesk manager in charge of managing talented Systems and Network Engineers. Not a great choice...
Advice to Senior Management – Happy employees are hard working employees. Stop the political stuff and treat others with respect. Your employees are miserable.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
"Definitely work but a lot of people coming and going"
Pros – At times the bonuses/profit sharing was good, but unfortunately have not seen that in a few years. When not in the office, worksite dress attire is casual. Have met and worked with some very down to earth PM's.
Cons – A lot of office politics, upper management is a revolving door. At times too many chiefs for the tribe. Expect an endless list of priority one tasks, with very few compliments
"good working environment and highly efficient peoples are working in SASCO"
Pros – good working environment and facilities
Cons – need to learn more latest technologies to build a good carrer
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"good work environment and talented collegues in each and every department"
Pros – good work environment and talented collegues in each and every department
Cons – poor salary and no facilites considering with other company
Advice to Senior Management – need to evaluvate with out considering the people and the nation but evaluvate while looking the talent
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"Old construction company with a stable job."
Pros – Stability. Job growth opportunities. Competitive pay.
Cons – Poor management. A lot of bad politics involved between union and the company. Expect you to work a lot of hours.
Advice to Senior Management – Don't be afraid to adapt to new technology.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"Change with the Times"
Pros – Depth of resources and some financial strength.
Cons – Culture is of silo financial managment, not a happy, open, friendly, people oriented place to be. 1st year you earn only 5 days of PTO including sick, what kind of policy is THAT ?
Advice to Senior Management – Improve the culture. Ask employees for input, survey them and our customers and see what really matters to each.
TRAINING: Do you wish for new SASCO employees to become socialized to the workplace by default....or design ?
Companies get exponential results from top-down participation in program areas like Safety and Marketing. When the entire office sits together for quarterly lunch meetings they can determine and communicate what is important and acheive expectations. Working is a silo without any idea of how to fully engage with expectations is a certain way to fail to meet them.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
Pros – they will give good responsible duty and good instructions.
Cons – i did not see anything in our company.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"Sasco Nepatists Extrordinaire"
Pros – They had work where there was none in my town
Cons – Out of 9 people on the jobsite 7 were considered foremen. Mostly of hispanic decent they would speak in Spanish when they didnt want me to understand the conversation. Only the "in" crowd would be kept on after the job was over. Carrot dangling about the next job is SOP for this outfit when they have no intention of keeping you for the next job.
Advice to Senior Management – Get some good union representation for this company. The crews in the field are running off talented help to save their own skins. This is common practice especially if management is on site. Newer or lower level techs are kept from having input or even conversations with upper management. There is a reason for this.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Melbourne is located in Brevard County, Florida with a population of over 77,000 residents. The city is a part of the Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville Metropolitan area, just minutes from Orlando. Much of Melbourne's economic force comes from large companies such as DRS Technologies, General Electric, Harris Corporation and Liberty Aerospace.
Because Melbourne is located right off the coast, many residents live on oceanfront property. Most residents, who live around the coast, live in condos or townhomes. However, for those who live further inland, there are plenty of traditional neighborhoods with single family homes. Some of the more popular areas to live in are West Eau Gaille, Melbourne Village or near the Indian Harbor Beach. For those who like to play golf, there are a couple of golf courses in the area including Harbor City Municipal Golf Course and Melbourne Golf Municipal Course. For commuters and beach lovers, there are plenty of main access roads including Interstate 95 and Highways 513 and 192 that lead right to the beach.

A kind, gentle friend of mine lost his father just weeks before Father's Day. I have troubled over his loss since learning about it and the terrible timing. I remember my first Father's Day without my Papa and I wear a heavy weight in my chest each time the day comes around. My heart ached for my friend as he struggled, like I had just a few years before, with the revelry and good wishes offered by strangers in the store checkout line and news anchors on TV encouraging us all to enjoy a day grilling out in the back yard or offering suggestions about where to buy hand tools.
In 1974 my father, English Professor, author, songwriter, poet, and much more, wrote one of the most moving poems I have ever read on the somber and joyous occasion of the spreading of the ashes of Michelle Murray, a renowned poet and dear life-long friend he had lost much too early. I knew, but could barely speak, the words on the occasion when our family stood ankle deep in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico to insure that Bud would forever be a part of a place he loved so dearly.
Fathers are never really gone from us. I reprint Bud's poem after Father's Day both to honor and remember my father, but also to share his gift of words with those whose fathers are here now only in our hearts. Like Bud, these words are now forever 'in the wind.'
And now you will be everywhere,
forever; free from place and time,
fly on the winds. Ash to tiny ash
to speck to fleck to molecule; in time
a molecule of you in every breath I breath:
from now until I die, ten thousand times a day
and in each word I speak, from now till death,
a flick a fleck a speck a particle from you
which now we scatter. Fly. Go free.
your bondage now is over. We loved you.
We will love you. Good bye today; hello with every breath
from now forever.
Bud Foote ©

Welcome to Firmly Planted Family
What is Homeschooling?
Homeschooling parents oversee the entire education of their children in a personal and direct manner.
It is characterized by a one-on-one tutorial method of education with the parents as teachers/tutors and most often takes place within the home.
Firmly Planted has been supporting homeschool co-ops since 2000, and in 2012, we began to distribute a new Bible study that would help families get into God's Word together, regardless of whether or not you are choosing homeschooling.
Homeschool co-ops help families to connect with one another and create local communities of homeschoolers. Classes taught at co-ops are designed to compliment the parent's efforts to homeschool.
Deut. 6:6-7 - These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Prov. 1:8 - Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching.

Arlington Public Schools recently announced changes to its student transportation plan that appeared to be aimed at reducing the number of students on its bus fleet.
This means that more students will be expected to ride a bike or walk to school. This isn't just a reasonable change — it's a desirable one. However, given the pushback from some quarters, it's clear that Arlington can do a better job in encouraging parents and students to ride a bike or walk to school.
Under the school system's transportation plan, elementary school children who live less than a mile, and secondary school students who live less than a mile-and-a-half from their schools do not qualify for bus transportation.
Ideally, these students would then ride a bike or walk to school via safe and low-traffic routes through their own neighborhoods. The unfortunate reality is that many of these students are driven to school by parents who don't believe that the routes are safe enough or that their children are capable of navigating on their own.
Aside from pointing out that I and millions of other children managed to walk to school starting in kindergarten and live to tell about it, I'm not sure there's much to be done about what parents expect of their own children. However, to the extent that parents are guided by the impression that streets are more dangerous than they used to be, Arlington Public Schools and Arlington County should consider an informational campaign demonstrating that crime is at historic lows and that children are at far more risk in an automobile than any other mode of transportation.
It really is safer to walk or ride a bike to school that being driven in a car.
The responsibilities of the school system and the county government go beyond encouragement and education, though. They also need to actively inventory and improve the infrastructure that makes for safe connections between students' neighborhoods and schools. To the extent that more schools need safe street crossings like the Jackson Street bike/pedestrian overpass of Arlington Boulevard for Thomas Jefferson Middle School, the funding and construction of those crossings should be prioritized. Smaller-scale projects might include flashing lights at crosswalks or better clearing of trails when it snows.
To be clear, Arlington County already works at improving neighborhood connections with schools, but its efforts could be expanded. It could, for example, hire a Safe Routes to School program coordinator. This would create a full-time job that focused on both improving our physical infrastructure and student/parent education related to using it safely. Surely that would be a better long-term investment than another bus.
Finally, there's one group that could that could immediately and without cost improve the safety of students riding and walking to schools – the parents who drive their kids there.
I'm not aware of any formal studies on the matter, but you'd be hard pressed to get anyone who regularly experiences traffic near the pick-up/drop-off points of schools to disagree that the drivers there are especially dangerous. Perhaps it's the distraction of kids in the car, their worries about getting to work on time, or the spilling of Starbucks, but I've rarely come across a group that seems more unaware of the other people trying to share the street with them. All it would take is just a few more seconds of patience and a bit more regard for others to dramatically improve safety directly around the schools.
In the end, there's no reason that a place as compact and densely populated as Arlington can't be a very safe place for its students to ride a bike and walk to school. And really, it's a pretty good place right now. But it could be better, especially if we all take some responsiblity for it.
Interested in more information about Arlington's existing Safe Routes to Schools efforts? Check out this page at Walk Arlington.
The Safe Routes to Schools National Partnership recently announced a new Greater Washington area-specific platform.
I wasn't kidding about cars being more dangerous to children than walking or biking. From this 2008 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report: "Injuries due to transportation were the leading cause of death for children. The highest death rates were among occupants of motor vehicles in traffic." Yes, walking and riding a bike both carry some danger, but it doesn't begin to approach that posed by motor vehicles.

After kicking back over the holiday season, we're ready to buckle down and renew our commitment to running, the gym, and time on the yoga mat. See the items we gave ourselves over the holidays that are going to be in heavy rotation all year long! Clif Builder's Snack Size What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For a post-workout snack, you cannot beat a Builder's bar from Clif. Loaded with protein to help rebuild muscles, they're tasty, too. Unfortunately, the regular bars offer a bit more nutrition than I usually need. Enter the new Builder's Snack Size with 10 grams of protein instead of 20 and 150 calories rather than 270. The smaller bars come in two flavors: chocolate peanut butter and cool mint — my favorite. Look for them to hit the shelves midmonth at Target, Kroger, and Wegmans for $10 for a box of 10. — Susi May, fitness director 1 / 5 Brooks PureDrift What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I'm a big fan of the Brooks PureProject line of minimalist shoes and have clocked many miles in my PureCadence, so I've been happy trying out the newest of the collection, the Brooks PureDrift ($100). With a light, breathable mesh body, removable sock liner, and close fit, it's exactly the type of shoe someone new to barefoot running needs. I especially like the extra-wide angled toe box that follows the contour of your feet. — Leta Shy, assistant editor 2 / 5 Lululemon Skinny Will Pants What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lululemon's Skinny Will Pants ($98) were definitely one of the best gifts I received over the holidays — I'm practically living in them! Breathable, soft, and stretchy, I've worn these pants to yoga, on outdoor runs, and also just lounging around the house. Besides the stylish piqué pattern, I love the convertible drawstring waist, which lets me choose to wear them either high or low rise. — Michele Foley, associate editor 3 / 5 The B.I.A. Training Journal What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Anyone who's committing to run a race in 2013 will benefit from this cute Believe I Am Training Journal ($25). Designed by pro athletes Lauren Fleshman and Ro McGettigan, not only is the format ideal for a training diary, but it's also thin enough to toss in any purse or gym bag when you're on the go! — Lizzie Fuhr, assistant editor 4 / 5 The North Face Radish Mid-Layer Jacket What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you spend your Winter doing any sort of mountaineering sport, then I don't have to tell you how important clothing is to your safety. The North Face Radish Mid-Layer Jacket ($230) has quickly become a staple in my Winter wardrobe. This stretch-fleece hoodie dries quickly, forces moisture out, and has reinforced panels at the shoulders and hips to protect the fabric from where a backpack hits. And while it's definitely a technical piece, The North Face always manages to make things look stylish enough for a day of running errands in the city. My boyfriend was so envious of my jacket that I ended up getting him the men's version for Christmas. — MF 6 / 5 24 3 21 0 0 Read More Fitness GearHealthy LivingMust Haves healthy living Do These 4 Things Before Bed Tonight to Lose Weight Tomorrow 12 hours ago Go Inside the CrossFit Diet 13 hours ago 6 Easy Ways to Detox Every Day 13 hours ago The Tempeh Recipe You've Got to Try 17 hours ago The Results Are In: The 5 Highest-Calorie Meals in the Country 21 hours ago The Debloating Refresher You'll Want to Sip All Summer Long 1 day ago fitness gear Compare Before You Wear: The Most Popular Fitness Trackers 2 days ago Summer's Sweet With Our July Must Haves! 2 weeks ago The Prettiest Fitness Trackers You'll Ever See 2 weeks ago 7 Ways to Bring Wimbledon to Your Workout 3 weeks ago Stay on the Go With Our June Must Haves 6/25 Back to Basics: 5 Workout Wardrobe Essentials 5/19 Get a Personalized Fitness Newsletter!

Terribly disappointing...
By Nuts about hair
from Peterborough
I would NOT recommend this product. I bought the whole kit - shampoo, conditioner and keratin treatment. The treatment didn't work - I don't think it works well for damaged hair at all...maybe if you're hair is already not been coloured and damaged. The shampoo and conditioner just made my scalp really flaky...and when I stopped using it, the flakes went away. Unfortunately, I could not return it because I waited to long.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Life has steadily become faster ever since the industrial revolution and the invention of the assembly line. Time is at a premium and consequently, business interactions are getting shorter and shorter.
Look at your own schedule. How often do you eat fast-food because you "don't have the time"? Sadly, the level of service we expect is inversely tied with the speed we need things accomplished. As a society, our expectation of fast-food establishments and many other industries is already too low. We only seem to require the products we purchases to be made correctly and for the service to be adequate. In this fast-paced society, a business that takes the time to genuinely interact with customers without wasting their time should be hailed above all others.
There are a myriad of specific "to-do's" and "not-to-do's" (Discussed in an upcoming blog) but the basic point is to let customers know they are appreciated and that the company values their business, opinion, and concerns. The other side is to make sure not to waste a customer's time. Society is not slowing down any time soon, but an individual customer will slow down in order to be properly taken care of. The balancing act that every business faces is giving a large amount of important information, while being concise and not wasting time. The best solution for your online marketing is creating a strategy that has a Usability focused Web Design and strong Social Media presence.
Web Usability
Different customers need different things and each target marked should be approached as such. With time at a premium, the easier a potential customer can navigate your website, the better. Let them find what they are looking for, when they are looking for it.
Social Media
This is where customers will be spending some time. People want to interact with businesses comprised of people who care about them. Quality interactions are a must. This is accomplished by posting real questions and responding to customer answers. A company running contests and social media specific promotions is going to get a lot more traffic on their Facebook or Twitter pages than one that is mindlessly spitting out sales pitches.
The world will continue to speed up so businesses need to make their information readily available. There is no substitute for genuine interaction. As busy as your customers are, they always have time to be appreciated!

Vote Springfield, Oregon for the Simpsons' Premier
We're joining Oregon Governor Kulongoski in encouraging all Oregonians (and Oregon fans) to vote online (by July 9) for Springfield, Oregon as the place that should host the movie premier of the "Simpsons".
While 14 other Springfields are vying for this honor in the contest hosted by USA Today.com, we respectfully feel that Springfield, Oregon is the legitimate home of Homer, Marge, Bart and the rest of the crew. D'oh! Consider:
- Matt Groening grew up in Portland (just an hour and half north of Springfield).
- We also think it's no coincidence that many Simpsons' characters share the name of Oregon streets and landmarks…here are few:
1) Northwest Flanders Street in Portland was the inspiration for "Ned Flanders";
2) Northwest Kearney Street inspired the name of "Kearney," one of the schoolyard bullies who torments Bart;
3) North Van Houten Avenue inspired "Milhouse Van Houten," Bart's best friend
4) Diamond Joe Quimby, Springfield's mayor is named after Northwest Quimby Street
So hurry…vote for Springfield, Oregon today…there are just 2 days left! ~ Mo

During the 2008 election, writer Shawn Otto lead a charge to get the presidential candidates to unambiguously and publicly explain their positions on key questions concerning science and public policy. The questions were chosen through a process that involved the general public, as well as scientists and engineers. Science Debate 2008 was intended to be a televised debate on PBS—but neither Barak Obama nor John McCain would agree to participate. Eventually, after a lot of pressure, the candidates finally answered the 14 questions ... but only in print, online. No follow-ups.
Now Science Debate is trying again, hoping to engage President Obama and Mitt Romney and get them to treat science with at least the kind of seriousness politicians give their religious beliefs. (The Republican primary, for instance, featured debates that were themed solely around the candidates' faiths.)
With the help of concerned citizens, scientists, engineers, and the nation's leading science and engineering organizations, Science Debate has put together a list of 14 questions for the 2012 presidential race.
2. Climate Change. The Earth's climate is changing and there is concern about the potentially adverse effects of these changes on life on the planet. What is your position on cap-and-trade, carbon taxes, and other policies proposed to address global climate change—and what steps can we take to improve our ability to tackle challenges like climate change that cross national boundaries?
9. The Internet. The Internet plays a central role in both our economy and our society. What role, if any, should the federal government play in managing the Internet to ensure its robust social, scientific, and economic role?
You can read the rest of the questions at ScienceDebate.org. Once you've done that—if you agree this is important—sign the petition calling for the candidates to devote a debate to science and the ways that it will affect their public policy choices. These are important issues. We need to know what the candidates think if we're going to be fully informed voters. It's time to make science part of the political discourse.Discuss
16 Responses to "The science questions Obama and Romney need to answer"
Jeffrey Baker says:
It seems to me that a Mormon and a black liberation Christian both have trouble discerning fact from fiction. Why look to these two for anything resembling science?
Maggie Koerth-Baker says:
Because plenty of religious people are capable of recognizing the importance of science and acting on it. Just because I think their religious beliefs are silly doesn't mean they're idiots.
Seriously, stop it. You're making us atheists look bad.
Jeffrey Baker says:
I reject the idea that people can successfully constrain their irrational tendencies to particular areas of life. If you're willing to believe crazy stuff, you're willing to believe it.
Maggie Koerth-Baker says:
I reject the idea that you (or I, or anybody) can magically make ourselves free of irrational tendencies. You're not Spock. The human brain is pretty irrational at times. All of us, to one degree or another, confine the irrational and hold ideas that should be (rationally) in conflict. You aren't special.
Walter Reade says:
I tend to agree. For example, my observation is that all but the most hard-core atheists try to find some meaning in our existence. But, objectively, you really can't. The universe will end, and that's it. Happiness, sadness, pain, etc., are all fleeting chemical reactions in a biological "machine".
The point, really, is that we're all irrational. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Antinous / Moderator says:
Even Spock isn't Spock all the time.
awgrbr says:
I suspect this statement may be more self referential than you intend?
Daneel says:
Question is, can a Republican Presidential candidate, circa 2012, act on the importance of science, even if he recognizes it, given that so much of his core constituency seems to actively reject it?
strugglngwriter says:
Why the need for the "black" qualifier or is "black liberation Christian" a thing?
DrunkenOrangetree says:
I think you're conflating fact and science too easily, and too quickly setting up "fiction" as an opposing category.
Navin_Johnson says:
Funny that you didn't just say "religious" for both of them.
chenille says:
Funny, indeed, that it should come up at all.
If you make a list of ways Obama is out of touch, and his theology itself makes the top ten, you're likely bringing it up out of prejudice.
If you make a list of ways Romney is out of touch, and his theology itself makes the top hundred, you're likely bringing it up out of prejudice.
What things they believe based on theology might be very important, of course – but that's exactly what things like science debates are for finding out.
Walter Reade says:
It's a great list of questions.
chgoliz says:
"The Republican primary, for instance, featured debates that were themed solely around the candidates' faiths."
What was: our 4,387th clue that the U.S. is swirling the drain, Alex.
If someone actually gets the two major party candidates to have a debate on science topics, I will send $100 to the 501(c)3 of your choice, Maggie. (A win-win proposition!)
Walter Reade says:
I'm personally more concerned about the trend that a dwindling number people are responsible for creating an ever-increasing share of the GDP. It doesn't seem that either party is addressing this adequately. If we're not productive (and hence, increasing our wealth), the chances of meaningful climate policy, etc., getting passed are close to nil.

As the dust settles from this week's horrific tornado. Many are left wondering what they can do to help. Jessica Couch and Jamie Henderson are out to shed some light on that very topic.
"Yesterday I saw on Facebook that a group of kids for an Oklahoma City softball team were getting a fund raiser together for a little girl who lost her life in the tornado," Couch said. "They were in intersections collecting money in their softball helmets and I said, 'we can do something like that here.'"
With that in mind, Couch formed Helmets, Healing and Hope with the intent of lessening some of the pain brought on by the tornado's devastation.
Couch took the idea and expanded it from what she saw on Facebook, planning to raise money for each family who lost a child during the tornado.
She promptly called the Chickasha Sports Complex with the simple hope that she could collect some money at that facility, when she was pleasantly surprised.
"I called them and was told 220 teams are coming down next weekend for a tournament, and the tournament is not collecting gate admission," Couch said. "People are coming in from Kansas and Texas saying, 'I want to help, but I don't know how,' and this is a way they can."
Couch said she plans to have her daughter's team stand out in their uniforms, with their helmets collecting donations.
Given most of the children lost to the storm were between the ages of 8 and 9 years old, Couch said the issues resonated with not only her daughter's team, but many others.
"We are going to be at Walmart too and it's just too big for our one team," she said. "We reached out to the league and now nine teams are coming to help from all over Grady County."
Henderson. a CPA, is handling the financial aspect of the donations. She said the plan is to put the money raised by the drive into Couch's team's account and checks will be cut from that account to the 10 family's that lost a child during the storm.
"As long as the bank is board, that's our plan," Henderson said.
The devastation left in the wake of storm hit especially close to home with Henderson, who lost her house in Chickasha two years ago during a tornado.
"You don't realize what a little bit of effort from a lot of people can do," she said. "It's personal to me, because I lost my house, but it's also personal to Jessica because she's my best friend and she went through it with me."
Those interested in donating to Helmets, Healing and Hope can contact Couch at 405-320-0362.
Helmets, Healing and Hope will be at the Chickasha Sports Complex May 30 and June 1. They will also be at the Chickasha Walmart June 1.

IBADAN, Nigeria--The Nigerian unit of Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSA, RDSA.LN, RDSB, RDSB.LN) said Wednesday it has declared a force majeure on Bonny Light oil export following the shutdown of the Nembe Creek Trunkline in the country's Niger Delta.
Production of some 150,000 barrels of oil per day has been deferred because of the shutdown, the Shell Petroleum Development Co. of Nigeria Ltd, or SPDC, said in a statement.
SPDC spokesman Tony Okonedo said the trunkline was shut on Monday.
"We are concerned that the [trunkline] has been targeted by crude oil thieves repeatedly since we installed the new line in 2010 at a cost of $1.1 billion," said Mutiu Sunmonu, SPDC's managing director.
"The current exercise aims to remove a significant number of oil theft connections and repair any leaks on the pipeline. We recognize efforts by the security forces to contain the crime, and SPDC will work with them during the shutdown to clear illegal connections on the NTCL," he added.
The 97-kilometer NTCL had been closed several times as a result of crude oil theft and fires between December 2011 and May 2012, SPDC said.
Nigeria, Africa's largest oil producer, will see its daily oil production of around 2.4 million barrels a day go down as a result of the closure of the NTCL.
A force majeure is declared when a company is unable to fulfill its contractual obligations to deliver crude oil due to circumstances beyond its control.
Mr. Sunmonu said "crude theft continues to affect people, the environment and the economy, and urgent action is needed by all stakeholders to tackle the problem."
The Nembe trunkline is one of the most important production routes for Nigeria's crude oil exports, and feeds the benchmark Bonny Light export terminal in the Niger Delta.
The pipeline was shut down early last month after SPDC said it discovered a leak.
Shell had said that thieves steal an estimated 60,000 barrels of oil a day from its pipelines alone in the Niger Delta and that thefts in Nigeria had reached "unprecedented levels." It added that the scale of the problem indicates "a well-financed and highly organized criminal enterprise" that uses "influence, corruption and violence to protect its interests."

Vila Velha State Park:
In Vila Velha State Park, in Ponta Grossa, intriguing sandstone formations rise from fields which were at the bottom of an ocean 600 million years ago.
Volcanic eruptions, glaciation, and erosion by wind and rain have created over 20 gigantic shapes in which human imagination sees all kinds of things - a camel, a sphynx, or a goblet - this, the symbol of Vila Velha.
The Goblet is a key element in an indigenous myth which explains the creation of Vila Velha (see below).
Seen from a distance or from the air, Vila Velha reminds one of a medieval town, standing majestic in Paraná's Campos Gerais.
Furnas, craters which formed as sandstone collapsed and where water accumulates forming beautiful water mirrors, are another top attraction in Vila Velha.
Of the two craters known as Hell's Cauldrons, the most attractive to visitors is the deeper one, in which a panoramic elevator goes down to a deck above the water mirror.
Golden Pond:
A similar process to the creation of the craters gave origin to the Golden Pond, so called because the incidence of solar rays on it used to create a bright, golden effect, thanks to the presence of mica on the bottom.
According to recent travelers' reports, the silt deposited on the bottom of Golden Pond has reduced the golden glow, but the pond is still a sight to see.
Year of Park Creation:
Listed as a State heritage in 1966.
Vila Velha has convenient microbuses between the Visitors Center and the attractions. You'll also find a snack bar and a craft shop.
Tours go to the sandstone formations, to the craters and pond or to all of them. You can cover all the attractions in half a day, making Vila Velha a very attractive day trip from Curitiba.
Tour Prices:
R$25 (Sandstone formations, furnas and Golden Pond)
R$10 (Furnas and Golden Pond)
R$15 (Sandstone formations only)
Open all year, daily (except for Tuesdays), 8:30a-3:30p
Vila Velha is located 20 km (less than 13 miles) southeast of Ponta Grossa (pop. 306.351) on BR-376.
Ponta Grossa is about 113 kilometers (about 70 miles) northwest of Curitiba on BR-376.
The Vila Velha Myth:
The Tupi, the original indigenous inhabitants of Vila Velha, had a myth to explain the creation of the area's geological features. This is how it goes:
Once Vila Velha was called Itacueretaba – meaning "extinct city of rocks". Itacueretaba was chosen by the ancient ones to be Abaretama, the "land of men", where a precious treasure was hidden.
Protected by Tupã, the creator, the treasure was guarded by the apiabas, men chosen among the tribe's best warriors.
Apiabas enjoyed many privileges, but were forbidden to have contact with women. Tradition had it that if women knew the Abaretama secret, they would tell the whole world, and enemy tribes would take the treasure. Tupã would then stop protecting the tribe and inflict great tragedies upon them.
Dhui, the apiaba leader chosen to protect the treasure, was a chunharapixara – a womanizer.
Knowing his weakness, rival tribes sent the lovely Aracê Poranga, or Beautiful Dawn, to try to seduce the warrior and discover the secret location of the treasure.
Aracê soon charmed Dhui and brought him a goblet containing uirucuri, a fermented beverage, to get him drunk so he would reveal the secret.
However, having fallen in love with Dhui, Aracê could not carry out the plan. Instead, she drank the uirucuri with Dhui and they made love under an ipê tree. Tupã discovered his warrior's betrayal and, in his fury, caused an earthquake that shook all of Abaretama.
The plain was changed into a landscape of low hills. Abaretama turned into stone. Where the ground cracked, craters were formed. The treasure melted, becoming the Golden Pond.
The lovers were petrified. Between them is the goblet, as a symbol of the betrayal of Tupã's trust. A legend says that people with a heightened sensitivity to nature and love may hear Aracê's last words when they walk by: "Xê pocê o quê" – I will lie down with you.

Revised on Nov.23, 2008. Guide Note: The Portuguese word "cálice" can be translated both as "chalice" or "goblet". I've changed the translation of the word in this text to "goblet" as I feel it fits the indigenous myth of which it's an important element better.

Arkansas St.-FIU: Nine things bettors should know
Arkansas State vs. Florida International (+1, 57)
7:30 p.m. ET on ESPNU
1. This line opened with Florida International as a 1.5-point favorite and had moved 2.5 points as of Wednesday night to where FIU was a 1-point underdog.
2. True freshman E.J. Hilliard will make his first college start and second appearance for FIU. FIU lost starting quarterback Jake Medlock to a broken foot last week.
3. Florida International starting running back Kedrick Rhodes is 'day to day' due to an ankle injury. He looked tentative when forced into duties last week against Lousiana-Lafayette due to an unspecified injury to No. 2 tailback Darian Mallary. The Panthers are hopeful Mallary can return but his status is unclear.
4. Fortunately for FIU, Arkansas State specializes in rushing (ranked 14th in the nation with 242 ypg) but not stopping it (ranked 113th with 224 ypg against). The Red Wolves rank 10th at stopping the pass though.
5. "...The second goal is to put a game plan in that your guys can execute on a short period of time... You've got to be careful about doing too much." - ASU coach Gus Malzahn in his weekly press conference this week.
6. Could be a simple game plan for Arkansas State - and for both schools on a short week. For whatever it's worth, the over/under is 7-13 in the 20 weekday college football games that had pointspreads this season.
7. Neither of these teams have allowed fewer than 26 points against an FBS program in nine games combined this season and the over/under is 4-1 in FIU games.
8. Consensus players are evenly split with 52 percent on ASU.
9. The home team has won the last five meetings in this series straight up. The last four meetings have gone under the total.

It was a long time coming, but after years of talk and planning, the Vinemont Sports Complex is officially open for business.
And, after almost two months of use, the rewards are starting to be seen by town officials.
"It's been very pleasant simply because of the reception we've received," Vinemont mayor Melba Patton said. "We've had wonderful comments from the people who are visiting from out of town."
Not only has the complex served as the home field for the town's youth league program since its opening last month, it's also become an overflow field for USSSA travel baseball and softball participating in tournaments at Heritage Park in Cullman on the weekends. According to Vinemont public works official Mike Graves, that alone has had a $130-140,000 impact on the community, and it looks as though it will be continuing long into this summer.
"We're booked through mid July on the weekends," Graves said.
Patton added it comes as no surprise that the complex has been as successful as it has.
"We thought it would be successful when it opened," Patton said. "Baseball and softball are popular sports, and there is nothing on this side of 157 like it. It's taken a lot of hard work, but the employees have done a tremendous job."
Up until now, the town's youth league teams have had to share the same facility with the Vinemont High School softball team. Currently, the complex has three fields that are being used for play, with a fourth that is expected to be completed by next weekend. Two of those fields are lit. In addition, there is a two-and-a-half story concession stand which includes an office space, assembly area, an umpire changing room, and a score keeping area.
"This is something we've been in desperate need of," Patton said. "There has been a lot of enthusiasm grown in the community. The town and community have been so supportive throughout it all. It's the first time this area has had ball fields they could call their own."
The $1.3 million project, which is proposed to have five baseball/softball fields, was funded over several years without piling up debt for the town. Various grants and local funding were used to develop the complex. Patton hopes more additions can be made in the future.
"We have some more land left so hopefully in the years to come we can add other things," she said.

The revised ADOS algorithms, proposed by Gotham et al. (J Autism Dev Disord 37:613–627, 2007), were investigated in an independent sample of 558 Dutch children (modules 1, 2 and 3). The revised algorithms lead to better balanced sensitivity and specificity for modules 2 and 3, without losing efficiency of the classification. Including the restricted repetitive behaviour domain in the algorithm contributes to a clinical ASD classification in modules 2 and 3. For module 1, the results indicate less improvement, probably due to the low-functioning population. In most groups, the advantages of the revised algorithms are achieved without losing the strength of the original algorithm.

CLEMSON — Ah, the good ol' days.
When Dabo Swinney was a receiver at Alabama from 1988-92, inclement weather wasn't exactly a major concern.
"It's not like it used to be, and that's a good thing," Clemson's head coach recalled recently. "When I was playing, the lightning bolt would have to strike right next to you. 'OK, boys, let's go in."
That isn't the case anymore.
Like many campuses, Clemson has sophisticated lightning detection systems which warn of oncoming storms. If a lightning strike is detected within a certain distance of campus, weather sirens blare and outdoor activities – including football practice – grind to a halt.
"Now it's a day like this a siren will go off, you're going what the heck, and you're shut down for 45 minutes before you can even think about going out," Swinney said. "Well, we work on a 20-hour rule. (Players have) study halls, tutors, a lot of stuff. We go to class here. It's a lot to balance. You have a certain window to get your work in."
This fall, doing so will get a lot easier for Clemson. A $10 million indoor practice facility is rising inside Clemson's football complex, and it is expected to be completed in time for December bowl practice.
It is only the latest in a seemingly never-ending stream of facility improvements that include the WestZone project at Memorial Stadium and the stadium's new HD scoreboard and state-of-the-art sound system.
These improvements are funded by private donations through IPTAY, Clemson's booster arm, as well as the increasing stream of TV revenue from the ACC's new TV contract. Last spring, the ACC signed a new 15-year deal with ESPN which totals $3.6 billion, and will pay each ACC school an average of $17.1 million annually over the deal's lifespan.
"Everyone is always trying to improve themselves competitively from an edge standpoint," Swinney said. "In recruiting, you have to constantly get better. Facilities are a part of that. You can't sit still. We've got things we still need to do with the WestZone. For me, at this level, (the indoor facility) is a huge need for us. Because of the edge other people are gaining by having that. They never miss a day. So for us, we're never going to miss a day of work."
The new facility got a kick-start from an embarrassing 2009 NFL pro day. With dozens of NFL coaches, scouts and general managers on hand to watch top-10 pick C.J. Spiller and wide receiver Jacoby Ford, among others, athletes were forced to work in a driving rain because turf in Clemson's indoor track facility – the football program's weather backup – was deemed unsafe.
"Our pro day is the biggest day of the year for our senior athletes. You all remember a couple years ago, we've got C.J. Spiller out here and I'm standing under a golf umbrella with (then-Carolina Panthers coach) John Fox and we're getting poured on," Swinney said. "Them guys are out there trying to work and be the best they can be."
Practicing in the rain, he said, is a major safety hazard.
"We had a skills and drills (summer workout) they were supposed to do, they weren't able to come out because it was just a mess, dangerous for them to come out here," Swinney said. "You talk about injuries happening, you come out here on a slick field. When we have (the indoor facility) next summer, they don't miss a day."
Clemson officials put new turf in the track facility following the pro day debacle, but conditions are far more cramped and specialists can't work effectively, either.
"I'm thankful we've had a place to get in but we can't go full-speed," Swinney said. "And you can't practice this game half-speed. Just doesn't work. Not on a Tuesday, Wednesday, you've got to play an opponent on game day. Especially if they've been able to practice at a tempo at which you need to practice. It's going to be awesome. Many other things we can benefit from, and we're going to use it for a lot of other things."
Along with the WestZone, which includes sparkling new offices, locker rooms, team facilities, a team dining room, club seats, and soon, a Clemson museum, it's another sign the Tigers are committed to keeping up with college football's facilities arms race.
"We talk about being the best at Clemson, and this is a further step in that direction, also another sign to our student-athletes that we're committed to providing them with the best," Swinney said. "We want them to be the best, want to provide them with the best. There's a lot of benefits and I'm excited about it. We're appreciative to all the folks who raised the money and we'll be good stewards of it."

James Bright, Managing Editor, firstname.lastname@example.com
The Express-Star
I don't think it's any secret that Sheriff-elect Jim Weir and I have had our blows. In August I wrote an editorial stating that he and his opponent at the time were both unfit for the position for which they were campaigning. I have written more than one news article that could be construed as negative in regards to Mr. Weir.
After speaking with him on Thursday, I have to say that have some renewed faith in our sheriff-elect.
When I was first told that he had let some of the current sheriff's deputies know they wouldn't have a job come January a week ago, I was skeptical about his methods and approach. He told me his decision to let these men and women know they were being terminated was made after numerous conversations with several elected officials. the goal of which being to give these people ample time to find another job.
I can't argue with this logic.
He instituted a new policy that every sheriff's deputy can live no further than five miles outside of Grady County. Upon hearing this rumor, my initial reaction was one of disgust. I knew this would affect a couple of our current deputies that have worked diligently for Sheriff Art Kell.
I spoke with Weir and he explained his logic in this move was simply to create a better response time for Grady County residents should their be some police emergency.
I will make no secret about being a fan of outgoing Sheriff Kell. I consider the man to be a phenomenal sheriff, human and friend, but again I can't argue with Weir's logic here. My job is to look out for the interest of the people and with that in mind, Weir seems to have adopted a policy that does just that.
All-in-all I can't find anything legally or morally to fault Weir on in his decisions so far. He has kept his promise to give a chance to all those currently employed by the sheriff's department to retain their jobs and has actually offered positions to seven of them one way or another.
It is important to note, that my dogged attitude and dedication to holding elected officials accountable for their actions will not change, but I have to say, I would like nothing more than to eat crow on all of the negative editorials I have written about Weir and I now believe that could be a possibility.

5 emotional mistakes made by homebuyers
Real estate agents say emotional mistakes are common among homebuyers, who sometimes let good deals pass them by. Or worse, buyers overpay for their "dream homes" because they let feelings cloud their judgment.
But buyers shouldn't beat themselves up for getting emotional. Buying a home is often the biggest purchase a person will make. Homebuyers "need someone in their corner who can counsel them and make sure they are making a smart investment, not an emotionally driven purchase," says Nick Jabbour, a New York City real estate agent and vice president of Nest Seekers International.

SANTA BARBARA — How well should people know each other before they have sex?
In the biggest classroom at UC Santa Barbara, sociology professors John and Janice Baldwin are reeling off survey results showing that male and female students are almost equally willing to sleep with someone they love. But the hall erupts in knowing laughter as a gender gap emerges: Men, the long-married couple reports, remain eager for sex through descending categories of friendship and casual acquaintance. Women don't.
