It sure looked like business as usual on Frat Row this afternoon. the 40 or 50 students standing on the front porch of the frat next door to the student health center were surely all drinking water or fruit juice from their red Solo cups...
Just built it already. 36 years of planning, studies and comments. Too much money has been spent to not have the best road that money can buy.
What? No coverage from the ribbon cutting and open house at the new Carter Elementary? [/sarcasm]
Here's an idea -= renew this at least 20 days before your old one expires. That way, the old one is still valid while you wait on your new one to arrive. You've only got five years to plan your renewal, how hard is it to plan to do this three weeks in advance?
in response to SilenceIsGolden: Would you be blaming a "design problem" had the accidents been the semi drivers fault?I don't think so.I have never seen, not one time, that when an accident "could" be the fault of a truck driver, posters jump on the wagon and crucify the truck driver. Place the blame where the blame is due, the driver of the automobiles!

No, I claim it's a design problem because there is a severe backup in this area every day regardless of weather or other traffic conditions. Yes, truck drivers do cause accidents as well - remember the fatal accident on I-40 over top of Broadway 6 or 7 years ago? There was also the semi in Ohio that hit a church van and killed several.
There is a design problem that is evident int he area between I140 and Lovell Rd on I40 WB. There are always traffic delays there because of the limited amount of distance for merging traffic and the backups from the mad shoppers exiting at Lovell Rd (even though you could go to the Campbell Station exit and get to the Turkey Creek shopping area just as fast).
Great thoughts... Good luck getting the fine citizens of Knox County to fund such an initiative. They barely support the current setup, can you imagine if Knox County wanted to raise taxes to fund a new Fire/Rescue/EMS department for 50 or 60 million a year? (FWIW that figure is just pulled out of thin air)
It's ok - knoxfiretruth is just a RM hater that wants 'better' fire protection, mainly for the Choto area. Lookup Knox Fire Facts on Facebook. I'm fairly certain that project is spearheaded by some members of the Karns FD, likely with involvement from (former) Chief Marston.
Either way, with the EMS system status in place in Knox County it is hypothetically possible that if the system were at low levels an ambulance could be coming on duty at their operations center in Karns and have to respond to an emergency anywhere in Knox County. Unlikely, but hypothetically possible.
@knoxfiretruth: why don't you take your rant back to your facebook page?
Everybody knows RM has cooked the books on things like that for years. Station 42. Level 0. Patch and a pulse.
Nothing new here.
I've seen parents arrive more than 90 minutes before dismissal to line up to get their children at no fewer than three different elementary schools in Knox County. At two of these (Halls and Adrian Burnett) the ensuing lines cause traffic backups and disruptions to the surrounding communities.
If all of these parents have nothing better to do then why don't they go into these schools and volunteer that hour assisting in their child's classroom or something similar. There are countless volunteer opportunities in schools today.
The data that hwylder posted shows that KCSO was DISPATCHED to a reported fight. Once they arrived the PERSON CHECKED OK.
Nothing to see here, move along.
This isn't a crime. There was no criminal activity.
Just seeing lots of pings on a map don't show an increase in anything but pings. The data must be carefully examined and complied to have any relevance.
KNS hasn't figured that out yet.
in response to Crocket1911: My bad dogwoodsnake. You are right and my assumption, I thought logical, was wrong. The miscreants have found a way to get north of I-640 on Broadway.

Non functional navigational aids? The crumbling of US transportation infrastructure continues...
Very sad that this failure cost 2 lives, injuries that the extent of which have yet to be fully realized and emotional turmoil to those aboard.
This article points out 'hotspots' of crime West and short North. However, careful analysis of the provided map shows a greater number and density of crime activity on the Broadway corridor and just East of Downtown. Why aren't these mentioned?
CJensen will be along shortly...

Thank you, a Brother.
Rockford, in Blount County? Assuming the outage map for KUB is accurate, there are only a handful of KUB customers in Rockford.
Maybe if you were an LCUB customer I would understand your frustration. My power used to go out several times each week in LCUB's area.
Knoxnews: please check the KGIS website. This is not in Farragut. Canton Hollow Rd is not, and has never been in Farragut.
Please help me understand why the school district hires police officers while its up to the individual schools to hire teachers? Why doesn't the school district do all the hiring at the district level and then assign teachers to the schools?
There is county land available behind the elementary school. The population of the Gibbs community is growing.
West Knox keeps getting more schools, yet schools in North Knox are closed and consolidated. Hmm.
No, just tired of my children riding the bus for 60-75 minutes each way every day to get to Holston Elem from the Knox/Union County line....
Still waiting on a middle school in Gibbs - anyone?
in response to knoxresident: That's aweful of Dr. Baker AND the KNS for sharing such intimate and horrific details of this young man's final moments with the general public. I can't even begin to imagine how his family feels and now those final tragic moments are out for everyone to read about (liters of blood, coughing etc). It's just aweful that there's no respect for the boy or his family. The story could have omitted those private details. That's information Dr. Baker shouldn't have shared with a news reporter and KNS should have more tact.

Hmm. Ok.
39-14-405. Criminal trespass.Class C misdemeanor.
But it doesn't matter either way, we've just allowed the bar to be set even lower for next years senior pranks. Since, you know, it's now OK to hoist road kill from the flag pole.
Since this is now a potential criminal investigation these new 'adults' will get an education that they apparently didn't manage to pickup in 13 years of school - an introduction to the criminal justice system.
I bet in a shirt while they will wish that the principal had just been able to give them suspension, rather than having the potential to serve up to a Class E Felony for violating § 39-14-217.
Other potential applicable statutes are listed at http://www.animallaw.info/statutes/st...
Years ago I worked in a service industry that would typically make these types of deposits. Our managers decided it was safer to leave our deposit in the safe in the store and then take it to the bank the next day rather than risk the night supervisor getting mugged at the night deposit slot.
I'd like to see all of these people go clock in for a regular work day. Don't these people have jobs?
If they're just going to remove all of the comments, why not just turn off the comments all together?
cause they were taking one of their buds to the ER most likely!
The State Board of EMS should have the legislature codify this and make it so that every qualified agency in TN could administer this medication. With the new rules forthcoming on EMT-Advanced, this is certainly a medication that an EMT-A or a Paramedic could give in an emergency.
Ahem! Let's try Lieutenant Robert 'K'eeler - that's right, Keeler with a K.
So - I wonder when the local government (Fire, Rescue, Police, EMS) will start using non-Pilot stations for fuel - you know, just to ensure their distance from this ponzi scheme?
Make sure they hang that Honors Diploma on the wall of his cell, right next to the photos of the victims so he can see what he threw away every day.
Wonder how much in Federal student loans he has that will never be paid? While he's in the klink he should be working towards paying his other debts... maybe breaking large rocks into smaller ones for about $1 an hour?
That unit could just roam the mission district dispensing care. It would greatly reduce inappropriate use of the local ER's and EMS for people with non-life threatening complaints.
in response to photoman: Serve time & revoke his license for LIFE! See if THAT acts as a deterrent to drunk drivers.
in response to photoman:
Serve time & revoke his license for LIFE!
See if THAT acts as a deterrent to drunk drivers.
Yet countless people choose to operate vehicles every day without a license. That is not a deterrent to most drunk drivers. Look at the sheer number of violators that have 2, 3, 4...9 or more DUI's and keep on getting behind the wheel of a vehicle. If you check their sheets, after the first few they also get a charge of driving on suspended or revoked with each additional DUI.
A suspended or revoked license WILL NOT stop a person from getting behind the wheel of a vehicle.
Perhaps, one day, technology will be easily implementable to confirm the license status and check intoxication levels of every driver every time they get behind the wheel. Think something like a card reader with iris scanner to confirm identity and license status and a quick, non-invasive check for intoxicants before starting the vehicle. Don't forget the technology will also need to make sure a 'friend' doesn't just scan their stuff and let someone else behind the wheel.
Think the tin foil hat people and the ACLU won't go bezerk over something like this in the future?
Wow - a Knox County jury got it right? What's the catch? Another dirty judge, jury tampering?
It can't really be this easy, right?
Another thought: if KARM and other agencies are doing such a good job 'taking care' of our homeless men and women, why would they feel the need to establish a homeless camp less then three blocks from KARM?
I believe that it's time that Knoxville stands up against the blight caused by the thriving homeless population. Clear out the stream banks and overgrown lots in the mission district. Empty out the vacant buildings and shantys, haul off the tent cities to the landfill.
It is high time for a complete overhaul of the mission distict: it is a disgrace and black eye to Knoxville to encourage this problem any longer.
Strategic napalm. Problem solved.
And who did TVA use for their reactor designs? Likely B&W (at least for Bellefonte - Westinghouse and GE for Sequoyah and Watts Bar). Cut out the government middle man and let the designer / manufacturer take a crack at this.

Priorities? Business of the City of Knoxville, or Lady Vols?
How about doubling up officers in patrol cars. The reason you see them 'chasing' each other all the time is that the PD will rarely answer a call, especially a critical one, with just one officer.
Lets get the PD to put two officers in each cruiser and save some fuel and wear and tear on the city vehicles.
Perhaps KUB has learned some lessons from the Pleasant Ridge Rd project?
Live audio: http://j.mp/WF9QXd
... you know this to the fact because you were there and witnessed the entire event, correct?
Let's hold off on the armchair prosecution of this man until the real legal system gets finished with him.
Perhaps it's a very small burn? Not everything happens like you see on TV...
Because I want these media types to start asking questions that matter, rather than telling us about rescued puppies.
HERE'S THE QUESTION NOBODY HAS ASKED:The spacing and location of these structures is a contributing cause to the overall magnitude of this incident. Will the Sevier County planning people take this into mind before approving more hillside developments? Maybe they will force residential fire sprinkler installations? Maybe they will increase spacing between structures?
This is not the first time this has happened in Sevier County - if I recall correctly there has been a house fire that has spread to wildland fire somewhere in Sevier County each of the last three or four years.

Travis letter returns today to the Alamo
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A written plea for help in which the commander of the besieged rebel Texas forces at the Alamo vowed "Victory or Death" returns today to the old Spanish mission for the first time since it was penned in 1836.
William Barret Travis' famous letter to "the People of Texas and All Americans in the World," is getting a police escort from the state archive in Austin to the Alamo, which is now in the heart of downtown San Antonio. The weathered, single-page letter will go on display for two weeks, starting this weekend, and will be kept in a special display cabinet and given round-the-clock guards.
The exhibit coincides with the 177th anniversary of the siege, which culminated with the March 6, 1836, fall of the Alamo and the deaths of Travis and the roughly 180 men in his command.
"I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch", Travis wrote in the roughly 200-word letter dated Feb. 24.
Travis, a 26-year-old South Carolina native and lawyer who left his family in Alabama for Texas, wrote that the forces under Mexico's president, Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, were subjecting him and his men to "continual" cannon fire. Knowing the odds were against them, Travis wrote that he responded to a surrender demand with a single cannon shot of his own and the promise that, "I shall never surrender or retreat."
"It's something about martyrs and last stands," Michael Parrish, a Baylor University history professor, said of the letter's allure. "There's just something very, very romantic and epic and heroic and all the grandiose terms you want to apply."
The letter was smuggled out of the Alamo at night by a courier on horseback, though by the time it was published in leaflets and newspapers, Travis and his men were dead. But volunteers crying "Remember the Alamo!" and led by Gen. Sam Houston routed Santa Anna's forces more than a month later outside what's now the city of Houston, securing Texas' independence from Mexico.

Online Marketing Blog Roundup
Mashable does a series of polls called "Web Faceoff" that pit similar Internet phenomena against one another, e.g. GTalk vs. AIM, Foursquare vs. Yelp, Nexus One vs. iPhone 3GS, and so on. This week, the Web Faceoff was "Chatroulette vs. Hot or Not." My first thought was, "…Huh?"
I read on to see why these two, to my mind, very different sites were matched up in the pen. Chatroulette, which was launched in late 2009, is a webcam-based chat site that matches you up with a random stranger. Hot or Not, launched almost a decade earlier, shows viewers user-submitted photos and allows them to rate the photos on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being smoking hot, naturally). What's the connection? According to Mashable, they both share a "philosophy of randomness."
Huh. Yeah, I guess so. It would make more sense to me to match up two rating sites, or two chat sites, but OK. The important thing is, this gave me an idea for a website: Blank vs. Blank! My site, too, has a philosophy of randomness. Blank vs. Blank, in fact, would pair up two completely random things in a faceoff, much like Mashable's faceoffs, and users would choose one or the other before being presented with another—random and unrelated—choice.
One of the fascinating things about my website is that it's not clear what the user is choosing—are they voting for the better of the two random, unrelated things? Can one even say which of two random things is better? You're comparing apples and oranges, or, more likely, apples and gorillas, or apples and apartheid. Also, will the results be presented back to the viewer at some point? Over time, we'll have enough data to basically rank everything in the universe against everything else. Apartheid will probably rank rather poorly. Pizza and Santa Claus, probably pretty high. But would all that data be made publicly available, or just stored on the back-end for eventual/nefarious use in some sort of master plan?
All that will have to be discussed when I get my first round of funding.
In the meantime, here's a preview of the Blank vs. Blank user experience!

February 16, 2011
As the spring semester begins, we find ourselves facing tragedy.
The last few weeks of snow completely devastated any type of schooling that we might have received, and in addition created hazardous living conditions (or at least walking conditions) for many.
As a native Oklahoman, I promise that this will not last long, or so I hope.
Before long there will be no more snow and it will be blazing hot outside, and you�ll be wishing you could still be making snow angels out in front of your dorm, or on top of your friend�s car, or wherever you may have been making them.
So, some tips to keep you warm between now and those hauntingly hot days ahead; wear light layers.
I personally have a tendency of wearing two or three layers, even when it�s scalding hot outside.
The reason this works is if you get hot, you can take a layer off.
If you have a class in Shawnee Hall, then you can put the said layer back on to avoid catching a deathly cold.
Another way to dress is sensibly; this will keep you comfortable. If you insist on wearing a snowsuit to class, first, please don�t sit in front of me.
Second and more importantly you won�t be comfortable, especially if you have to sit for long periods of time (50 minutes).
So from a native to a non-native, don�t be surprised if you see your roommate from down the hall skipping around in shorts by the beginning of March.
We natives realize that the weather in Oklahoma changes as quickly as the popular vote, and occasionally we know better than to listen to the weatherman.
So stay warm, wear lots of clothes and try not to slip and fall on the lovely ice we are bound to have again.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - When teenage runaway Lara Snyder bumped into Scott Davis in the Cumberland County Justice Center lobby, she didn't recognize him.
"You probably don't know me," Davis recalled telling the 15-year-old girl who'd been missing for months and recently returned home to her mother's Crossville, Tenn., residence.
But as Davis spoke, the teen's eyes grew big.
"I know your voice," Davis said Lara told him. "You're the guy who did the show on me on the Internet. I watched it while I was running. I didn't think anybody cared."
By day, Davis works for the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office as the sex offender registry compliance officer.
By night, he runs an international online series in an attempt to gain exposure for missing children throughout not only Tennessee, but the world. The program, "The Missing," broadcasts on the Internet via YouTube and is shared with similar sites, including Facebook.
Currently in its second season, Davis' show began airing in January 2009 and garners visitors from 90 countries, including the U.S. and Australia.
His garage is his studio. His medium: a TM700 Panasonic HD camera.
Davis, who independently films each episode, works with state and federal law enforcement agencies and with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. He also works with the host of "America's Most Wanted," John Walsh, who presents the introduction of each episode Davis produces.
"I believe it's a calling," Davis said. "A platform to do something with the talents I've been blessed with. What people don't understand is when the antennas are dropped, the satellite trucks are moved and the local news doesn't put pictures up anymore, they are still missing and their family still needs help. This is to give those families hope."
Davis said about 90 percent of the cases he features come from the national center's database.
The other 10 percent, he said, come from phone calls from distraught parents, such as Rene Brown of Crossville, whose niece and nephew were allegedly abducted by their mother Dec. 22, 2010.
Brown said she contacted Davis about a situation involving her brother James Everitt, formerly of Crossville. His ex-wife, Crystal Thwreatt, allegedly fled with their children, Trust, 3, and Journey, 8.
"I called Scott because I wanted to feel like I was doing something," Brown said. "Someone might happen to watch the show on the Internet. We're in Crossville, my brother now lives in Florida and we as a family feel like we can't do anything. It's like our hands are tied."
Davis said he's getting ready to present a show on the Everitt case.
So far Davis has offered 28 episodes, averaging two cases per show. He's featured about 100 missing people, 90 percent of whom are children.
Of that 100, about a half-dozen have been found safely, he said.
Most of those cases involved family abductions, he said, like the case of Catalina Serna, a 1-year-old reported missing from Fayetteville, N.C., on June 11, 2010.
Catalina was taken by her father, Fabian Serna, but safely located after the toddler's case aired on "The Missing." The girl's father was arrested.
But there are other cases, like that of the McStay family, which have not yet had a happy ending.
Joseph McStay, 40, his wife, Summer, 43, and their two children, Gianni, 4, and Joseph, 3, disappeared Feb. 4, 2010. Concerned relatives contacted authorities, who checked the family's California home Feb. 15.
A vehicle belonging to the family was found abandoned near the Mexican border. The McStays' home is in Fallbrook, Calif., about 45 miles north of San Diego.
No contact with friends. No contact with family. No vacation plans.
"The whole family just disappeared," Davis explained on a recent episode of "The Missing." "Hopefully we can bring these children and their parents home safely."
Like in Lara's case.
Now 17, Lara is one of the luckier ones, Davis said.
The last that Davis heard, the teen was living in North Carolina -- with her mom.

Software Details
Title: | Leximancer |
Submitter: | Peter Hollands |
Description: | Having an interest in linguistics you will no doubt have some interes in the analysis of text and/or content-analysis. A software tool has been developed at the University of Queensland in Australia that makes such analysis a whole lot easier. Leximancer is a software tool capable of objectively analysing the content of text simply, quickly and effectively. Unlike other systems, Leximancer requires no hand-coding and performs its analysis completely automatically by extracting the semantic networks contained within the document set, otherwise known as unsupervised ontology discovery. Leximancer also differs by not relying on parsing as its analytical base, using instead mathematical and scientific calculations based on the Bayesian approach to prediction. Such an approach has produced a system capable of working just as effectively in any of the European languages. Any number of different lines of enquiry may be followed depending on the needs of the user. Those interested in mapping or classifying documents with customised concepts may use hand-coding to configure the analysis any way they choose, providing an extraordinary level of customisation. Leximancer succeeds by recognising the major issues or concepts within the text and represents them both on an interactive map as well as in tabular form. This map allows the analysts or researcher to explore the background data on which each relationship is based. Each concep is positioned in such a way as to graphically highlight its relationship with each and every other concept, such juxtapositions even permitting the discovery of relationships that may otherwise remain hidden. To achieve this level of analysis, several novel algorithms were developed including a learning optimiser for automatically selecting, learning and adapting a concept from the word usage within the text, and an asymmetric scaling process for generating a cluster map of concepts based on co-occurrence in the text. Leximancer is now in use in universities throughout Australia, with a number of State government departments and with clients in the UK, the USA and Italy.

Amber Marshall, Glassblower
Glassblower Amber Marshall moved from St. Louis, Missouri, to Appalachia to be part the Energy Xchange. Before arriving in North Carolina, Marshall spent much of her time on the road at arts festivals, selling her work. "It's very expensive and time-consuming to travel to the festivals," noted Marshall.
Festivals also have proven less profitable than they had once been. The recession hit decorative glass particularly hard. Although Marshall's shapely vessels and pitchers can be used, they are designed with form over function.
"Right now, people are looking for more inexpensive, utilitarian things rather than art pieces they can add to their collections," she explained. "Glass is one of the most expensive forms out there, so glassblowers like me have really felt the effects of the economic slowdown."
Marshall's signature pieces include voluptuous clear glass vases with shapely lunaresque lumps in hues like mustard, teal, and slate grey that erupt from the bottom. Equally distinctive are her cockeyed frosted-glass pitchers in sherbet colors that are so anthropomorphic you almost believe the tiny swirl appliqués are winking at you.
For Marshall, the Energy Xchange has been a lifeline. She now has studio space with a 400-pound tank furnace that otherwise would be cost-prohibitive for an individual artist.
"It is incredibly expensive to blow glass because the energy bills are so high," stated Marshall. Having a studio here, with no overhead and no energy costs, has enabled her to work longer hours, try new designs, and even create more utilitarian pieces like stemless glassware, which help sustain her business.
Sustainable Studios for Artisans
Energy Xchange
Located in the remote Black Mountains of North Carolina, the Energy Xchange is the first in the world to capture and combust landfill gas to power energy-intensive artisan studios.
Currently, there are seven artisans – potters and glassblowers – working at the six-acre site. Clay kilns and glass furnaces run exclusively on the landfill gasses. Additionally, the radiant heat in the studio floors is powered entirely by gas created from the decomposing refuse.
The energy savings is significant, estimated to be about $1 million over the project's 20-year lifespan. (Methane gas harvested from the landfill has a shelf life, based on decomposition rates and burn method). The Environmental Protection Agency has concluded that the impact of this project is equivalent to planting 14,000 acres of trees or taking 21,000 cars off the road.
The state of North Carolina worked with the department of Agriculture and with nonprofits to create the Energy Xchange. The idea of reducing greenhouse gasses, reusing existing resources, and supporting the work of artisans like Marshall was all part of the plan.
The Energy Xchange, which also has a gallery on site, has a competitive application program for artisan residencies, which typically last about three years.
Learn a Craft
Whether you want to ditch your career and follow your passion into a new profession or you have aspirations to be a highly skilled hobbyist, you can study under working artisans to learn the timeworn tricks of the trade. Here's a sampling from around the country.
Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum
The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (CBMM), once a site of seafood packing houses, docks, and workboats, now houses the world's largest collection of Chesapeake Bay boats. It also offers workshops and weekend classes in traditional shipbuilding methods in everything from bronze casting to oar making with professional shipwrights. There is even an apprentice program where students learn boatbuilding under the direction of a CBMM shipwright by being part of the creation of a seaworthy boat. Students can be part of the whole 17-week process or drop in for a day.
Chicago School of Guitar Making
Here you learn everything you want to know about creating string instruments, including fretting, guitar maintenance, and crafting ukuleles, from a professional luthier. The school runs day programs as well as weekend and weeklong classes. These short-hit intensive programs are geared toward students from out of the state and out of the country. Owner Ian Schneller teaches all of the classes himself, and many students go on to apprentice in his prestigious studio, which has created one-of-a-kind instruments for legions of well-regarded musicians, including Jack White, Neko Case, and Lenny Kravitz.
The Nicolas G. Hayek Watchmaking School
As more people turn to their smartphones for time telling, the pedestrian wristwatch might seemed doomed to become a relic. That may be true for run-of-the-mill, mass-produced watches, but handcrafted, quality watches are headed in the opposite direction. They have become highly sought after specialty jewelry items, thanks to their increasing rarity.
Quality watchmakers not only are in demand but are creating something – forgive the pun – timeless. The Nicolas G. Hayek Watchmaking School, which has branches around the world including in Miami and Shanghai, teaches classic Swiss watchmaking techniques like micromechanic measuring, moon-phasing calculations, and casing.

Aerogel Frozen Smoke Is Awesome
Being a NASA astronaut (and international playboy), I've known about Aerogel (aka: frozen smoke, blue smoke, solid smoke, tasteless jello) since before it was invented. Having been on the scene for a while, many of you may be familiar with the material already, but for those of you out there that aren't, all you need to know is one thing: Its coolness is of mythical proportions.
Aerogel, one of the world's lightest solids, can withstand a direct blast of 1kg of dynamite and protect against heat from a blowtorch at more than 1,300C. Scientists are working to discover new applications for the substance, ranging from the next generation of tennis rackets to super-insulated space suits for a manned mission to Mars.
I actually had a bed made of Aerogel a few years ago, but one of my live in girlfriends at the time moved it to clean. When I came home from work and threw myself down where the bed used to be I broke all my ribs. Now I live in the hospital.
Check out the article for lots more info. Then buy some on ebay and send it to me.

Craig Ferguson Tickets and Event Dates
Show Details
Scottish-born comedian Craig Ferguson may be a relentless champion of edgy, off-color humor, but he also has a conscience — in 2007 Ferguson announced that he would not make fun of celebrities struggling with substance abuse, citing the deaths of easy targets like Anna Nicole Smith and Michael Jackson as the potential result of such wisecracking. Not only did the decision draw praise, but his comedy is better off for it — rather than join the bloated chorus of celeb bashers, Ferguson digs deep for his material, arriving at a strikingly original standup act that's a cut above the rest. Hilarity reigned at his 2013 concerts on the Hot and Grumpy tour, building anticipation for more delectably crude performances in 2014.
Born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland, Ferguson made a variety of appearances on stage and screen before landing his breakthrough role on The Drew Carey Show, where he played Carey's pink slip-happy boss until the show's finale in 2004. That same year, he was selected to replace Craig Kilborn as host of CBS's The Late Late Show, a role he continues to perform to this day. In addition to numerous high-profile appearances in films and television, Ferguson has released several comedy specials including 2013's I'm Here to Help, which peaked at No. 6 on the Top Comedy Albums chart and received a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album.
"Craig was fantastic. His improv reactions to unexpected events were fast and funny, as usual. The routine was excellent."
"He's brilliant, rude, vulgar, hysterically funny, and monumentally talented. I laughed so hard I thought I was going to need emergency medical care."
"Craig Ferguson has done it again with Hot and Grumpy. I would definitely recommend this show for anyone who likes the Late Late Show. A+++."

City of York Council forges links with the Philippines
8:45am Friday 30th November 2012 in News
CITY of York Council's leader has met with the Philippine Ambassador to discuss greater economic links between the Philippines and York.
Coun James Alexander met Enrique Manalo at the Philippine embassy in London.
The meeting saw Ambassador Manalo, political minister Louis Alferez, economic officer Manny Guzman, commercial attaché Kristine Umali and tourism officer Rosario Afuang discuss how they might share skills on heritage preservation, tourism and food agriculture, as well as community-based disaster mitigation responses.
Coun Alexander said: "I am extremely interested in learning about community response to flooding, especially in terms of setting up flood wardens. The Philippines already have their own version of this, so I am keen to learn from their experiences."
Ambassador Manalo said: "We are encouraged by the interest in the Philippines shown by York City Council and there are several exciting prospects for concrete collaboration."
There are some 6,000 Filipinos living and working in and around York, mostly in the healthcare sector.

Claim: "Sun tea" (tea brewed by being left to steep in sunlight) can harbor dangerous bacteria.
Example: [Collected via e-mail, 2006]
Origins: As the weather warms up, people look for ways to cool off. One of the methods habitually resorted to is making alterations in their choices of beverage, with most folks tending to reduce their
Sales of iced tea and sodas can be counted upon to increase in the summer. So too does interest in "sun tea" grow as the mercury rises, prompting folks to look for less costly hot weather replacements for their more usual coffee and tea. Sodas and juices are expensive, after all, and there is only so much water one can drink without becoming heartily sick of it. At first glance, sun tea appears a viable and healthful alternative, harnessing as it does the energy of the sun to produce a zero-calorie drink one would presume contains all the benefits of tea brewed in the more usual fashion. Yet therein lies the rub. Tea made by placing loose or bagged tea leaves in glass jars of water which are then left in direct sunlight can harbor bacteria that can make you ill. According to the Centers for Disease Control, using the sun's rays to make tea can facilitate the growth of bacteria. Tea steeped in a jar on your porch won't get any hotter than Alcaligenes viscolactis, a bacteria commonly found in water, consequently turns up in sun tea. While the caffeine in black tea will help prevent that microbe from flourishing for a few hours, its effects won't last beyond that. Herbal teas are an even worse bet for brewing in sunlight because they tend to lack caffeine, which means even that barrier to Alcaligenes viscolactis turning your summertime drink into its own breeding ground is missing. Better to brew tea the more usual way with boiling water than to risk giving up any of your summer to illness caused by what you drank. The following rules have been recommended for those who brew sun tea:

Creating Custom Nameservers
Goals. 2
Add to Our System.. 2
Register Name Servers. 5
Enable DNS Services on Plesk. 7
Conclusion. 9
This guide will help you to create private nameservers for your domain names on our system, as well as register them as valid nameservers on the cloud. You will be able to brand your nameservers and ensure that your white label solution is present on the domain management level. You will also be able to manage nameserver records, as well as manage nameserver services on the server using the Plesk control panel.
The first thing you want to do is identify a domain name you wish to have nameservers set for. Once you have decided this, the next step is to add this domain to our system, and add our nameservers as the host servers for you domain.
1. 1. First, log into your myhosting.com control panel at http://manage.myhosting.com.
2. Once you have logged in, please click on the Hosted Domains on your home screen This will display all the domains you have entered into our system, if any.
3. If you already have a domain registered, please use the Add Existing Domain Registered Elsewhere button, or if you plan to use a brand new domain name, you can use the Register New Domain button.
4. Once you have selected a domain name in either the Register New Domain section or in Add Existing Domain Registered Elsewhere section, you will be asked to assign several subscription options. For name servers, please use the following configuration:
5. Please do not choose any web hosting or any mail hosting unless necessary. Simply continue and finish the process.
6. Once you have added the domain, you will then be able to modify the DNS records.
7. Access this area by doing the following: click the All Domains tab again and then click on the newly added domain name by clicking the URL created for the domain name.
8. You can then click the DNS tab at the top of the webpage, then the DNS Records sub-tab. This will take you to our nameservers. What you are doing here is creating your desired nameserver records in our system so that they can resolve.
9. At this point, you will need to create 2 records, usually ns1, and ns2 subdomains for your root domain. Do this by clicking the Add New DNS Record button.
10. For the DNS Record Type drop-down box select A.
11. Under the Domain field you would enter the subdomain for your nameserver, as the example below illustrates.
12. Complete the wizard, and do steps 8 to 12 again, to add as many records as required.
13. You should now have your two records listed in your control panel like the following:
If you registered your domain name with us, then you would want to ask our support department to send you your OpenSRS login credentials. This will allow you to register your nameservers at the registrar level. If your domain name is registered with another registrar, then you will need to get the steps as well as the required credentials from your registrar to make the necessary changes to your nameservers.
If your domain name is registered through myhosting.com, and you have requested your OpenSRS login credentials, please follow these steps.
1. Login to OpenSRS in order to gain registrar level access to your domain name.
2. You will need your domain name, the username that will be provided in the email from our support team, as well as the password, also provided in the email from support.
3. When you do login, you will have various menu options. One of them will be Manage Name Servers. Click that link to proceed.
4. Here you will need to do two things: specify the nameservers for your root domain, and register your two new nameservers.
5. In the fields under the Server Hostname heading, you will enter our nameservers as they will host the records for your root domain.
6. At the bottom of that page, you will find the register nameserver link, which will look like the sample below.
7. Click the link to start the registration process. This will bring up a page that will allow you to modify existing nameservers or create new nameservers for registration.
8. Use the bottom section to create a new nameserver.
9. Simply enter the same subdomain records you created in the Add Your Domain To our System section. Also, use the same IP address in the Server IPV4 Address field.
10. Once you have added the nameserver records, you are finished with registering the nameservers.
You want to ensure that DNS services are enabled on your VPS. This feature is enabled by default; therefore, you will not need to perform any actions. However, here are the steps to ensure that this feature is enabled, and that the DNS services are working fine.
1. Log into your Plesk control panel with your Plesk login link. It will usually follow this format: https://youriphere:8443. This will bring up the Plesk login page.
2. Once logged in, you will then need to click on the Settings option under the Server Management heading on the far left menu tree. You will then be able to click on the Server Components link.
3. The next webpage will show you a list of all the server components/services that are running and installed on the server. Simply look for the DNS Server section, and you should see its status with a green play button indicating that it is on and running.
4. You are now fully ready to use your newly registered nameservers for domains you will essentially add through your Plesk panel.
Now that you have successfully created your own custom nameservers, you can use them for nameserver activities with your hosting solution. Now you no longer need to specify our nameservers for domains you are hosting on your server. If you encountered any issues with this guide, please also note that there is additional information available in our Wiki database at http://myhosting.com/kb. Finally, we encourage you to contact our technical support team by email at email@example.com, or calling us at 1-866-289-5091 with any questions or concerns.

NEW YORK South Carolina recycler Highway 34 Recycling has had its license to purchase nonferrous materials suspended after a six-month investigation, according to Sgt. John Long of the Greenwood County Sheriffs Office. The company allegedly violated state law by not requesting permits or identification from sellers.
South Carolina requires anyone wishing to sell nonferrous scrap to present an identification card and state-issued sellers permit before entering into any transactions. Secondary recyclers must copy and maintain records of those documents for at least two years.
According to Long, the yards ownersCarl Jackson Jennings and Linda Lee Richeyknowingly purchased scrap copper without obtaining proper documentation.
"We have had a lot of changes in the law as related to nonferrous metals," Long said. "We feel the obligation to notify our recyclers that these laws have changed and warn them about potential violations. Unfortunately, Jennings and Richey chose to blatantly oppose these laws."
Subsequently, the sheriffs office obtained arrest warrants for Jennings and Richey and suspended their license for buying nonferrous metals.
Jennings and Richey now face multiple charges of illegally purchasing copper. Both were arrested and released on bond, Long said.
"Were not asking our recyclers to be the police," he said. "We know that individuals are coming to them trying to sell stolen copper. All we want is for them to maintain proper documentation so we can prosecute the thieves."
As of Jan. 31, Greenwood-based Highway 34 Recyclings telephone was disconnected. Jennings and Richey couldnt be reached for comment.

I disagree. We own a medium size yard in Florida and the new "Florida" scrap laws have cost us 70% of our copper purchases, 30% of our overall business which includes the remaining items we cannot buy from the public. These new laws have hurt the scrap industry in Florida along with private "honest" individuals that now cannot sell certain items, individuals that have a monthly limited income. We also have spent tens of thousands on computer systems and cameras just to be compliant with the new laws. We do take great pains and losses to stay compliant but I do not support or condone what these guys did. The new scrap laws are making criminals out of the innocent some people cannot afford to upgrade to be complaint nor can they close their doors. What has been accomplished with the new regulations? The same criminals before are still stealing just different items. The only thing the new laws have accomplished is diverting theft not deterring it.
JERRY MORRIS Feb 01, 2013
I think this is a good thing. I own a yard in SC and we bust our butt to abide by the rules and have spent a lot of money on software and cameras to do so. I hope this happens more in SC to get rid of the fly by nighters breaking the rules. I don't mind competion but I want them on the same playing field we have to play on. Thanks Neil

Recent reviews:
March 1, 2014 - These ice cube trays make perfect ice cubes for your water bottle. Be sure to put the flexible silicone trays on a cookie sheet before walking over to the freezer.
July 1, 2013 - I love these. Sure you have to brace them with something, I'm using another Ice cube tray then I fill up 2 and away I go. I'm ordering more since it's really bad to freeze water bottles as I see many people do. I live in Arizona so all ice is wonderful. Great idea but Chinese food grade silicone makes me a bit leary. :-(
December 20, 2012 - I agree that it is hard to fill and wish that the bottom was not as flexible to give it more stability.
September 10, 2012 - I find it easy to fill - just pour water into the bottom and put on the top. I love it when frozen - just pull off the top and pop out the cubes. I do wish the bottom was a little stiffer to make it easier to put in the freezer.
August 14, 2012 - These ice cube trays are the best. I reuse my water bottles all the time, and I love to have ice cubes that fit perfectly inside.

Man critically injured in Laurel hit-and-run
A man was left critically injured when a pickup truck hit him then fled the scene in Laurel Wednesday afternoon.
At 2:13 p.m., a man was walking on the sidewalk of Route 198 near Route 1, said Laurel Police spokesman Jim Collins.
A white pickup truck traveling east left the roadway and hit the man. The man was thrown over the guardrail and landed in the parking lot of a shopping center.
The man was taken in very critical condition to Baltimore Shock Trauma.
The truck was last seen fleeing east on Route 198 and probably has damage to the right front area. Police are trying to identify both the driver and the man who was hit. The victim is described as having gray hair.
Police said a Metrobus was behind the truck at the time of the crash and may have caught the crash on its dash cam. Police are working with Metro to attempt to locate the bus and view the video.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Laurel Police Department at 301-498-0092.

November 18, 2010
As a part of Oklahoma Baptist University�s homecoming week, the music department honored and celebrated OBU composers with the 2010 Homecoming Choral Reunion Concert Friday. In a near two-hour show, the concert featured performances by the Bison Glee Club, Bisonette Glee Club, Rhetta Hudson, Alumni Ringers, University Chorale and combined ensembles with alumni singers. All songs performed were songs either composed or arranged by OBU alumni. Through the performances the alumni were honored in their work.
Beginning the night was a humorous and talented announcement by four members of the Bison Glee Club, instructing the audience to silence their cell phones. The Masters of Ceremonies then introduced themselves to the audience in order to get things going. James Brown is a 1954 graduate of OBU who served on the music faculty from 1964-97. Rhetta Hudson served on the OBU music faculty from 1972-2009. Together they created a very humorous and laid back feel to begin the program.
Sherry Upshaw, a 1977 graduate, honored Robert Hobby by performing �When In Our Music God is Glorified� on the organ. Next, the 22 members of the Bison Glee Club took the stage and performed three songs. The all-tenor group impressed the audience by demonstrating their outstanding harmonies. After they sang �Praise the Lord Who Reigns Above,� Kade Goforth, the Glee Club president, welcomed guests and thanked Dr. Brent Ballweg for his hard work in leading the group.
After poking fun at Ballweg�s age, Goforth and friends then began removing clothes from Ballweg as they donned the classic blue suit the Glee Club wore back in the day. When asked how it fit, Ballweg said, �snug.� Goforth said, �Funny, we checked your records and that�s what it said your size was.� The audience erupted in laughter and continued to laugh, watching Ballweg conduct the group in a suit that was too small.
The Glee Club then featured Curtis Headrick as a soloist on the next song �Ev�ry Time I Feel the Spirit,� arranged by Moses Hogan. Their last performance was entitled �Praise Him!� by Michael Cox, class of 1970 and OBU music faculty 1972-90. The song had scriptural lyrics and beautiful crescendos. The Bison Glee Club did not disappoint.
The Masters of Ceremonies then introduced the Bisonette Glee Club and the 33 members took their place on the stage risers. Dr. James Vernon is the Bisonette conductor, accompanied by Taylor Thompson and Dana Ward on the piano. Cox was honored again as the Bisonette�s performed �The Master�s Touch.� �Have Thine Own Way, Lord� was a slow and simple song composed by Claude L. Bass, class of 1957 and faculty from 1965-77.
The song featured student Courtney Bryant with a solo. Jack Pearson, class of 1959, conducted the last song that he personally arranged, but was adapted and accompanied by Vernon on the piano. The song showed the beautiful voices of the women as it ascended into a beautiful climax. The audience seemed to love the women as they applauded.
The Master of Ceremony Rhetta Hudson then paid tribute to her personal friend Michael �Micky� Cox with her solo performance of �Rock of Ages.� Her powerful soprano voice penetrated the silence in Raley Auditorium with the prevailing hymn.
Mary Kay Parrish led the Alumni Ringers, which consisted of 11 graduates. She previously conducted the group for 20 years before retiring in 2002. Currently, the Ringer group is active again after several years of being non-active with Dr. Lee Henson as director.
The first song, �Praise Him with Cymbals and Drums� was a very fun song with a tribal feel. The ringers were backed on the timpani by Vernon. Two songs later, they played a song arranged by Parrish entitled, �Serenade for a Picket Fence.� The performance was a definite toe-tapper for the audience that created a joyful atmosphere. The various methods of ringing made for a diverse set of songs. Brown, Master of Ceremony, then jokingly told stories about Parrish and how he was never allowed to be in the ringers.
The University Chorale, conducted by Ballweg and accompanied by Keith Whitmore on piano, then performed three songs. The first song, �Praise the Lord Who Reigns Above,� was composed by Nancy Cobb Lippens, who had previously conducted the University Chorale for 17 years. The mixed choir consisted of 26 members. Also on the list of performances by the Chorale were �Jesus, My Lord, My Life, My All,� composed by Bob Burroughs, class of 1959, and �Sing Unto God,� composed by Paul Fetler.
Then, around 200 alumni from the audience joined all the performers on stage for a compilation of songs. Brown and Hudson honored all alumni as they revealed when they graduated and what musical groups they participated in when they were in school. Vernon took on the conducting responsibilities as the performers, overflowing off of the stage of Raley, performed �Great Is the Lord,� composed by Warren M. Angell and Rose Marie Cooper.
Susan Ballweg accompanied the song on organ, as well as Goforth and Sara Elliott on trumpet. Following that was �My God and King,� composed by Bass, and �A Prayer For This Age,� composed by Parrish. Hudson discussed how honorable Parrish is. �She is an accomplished pianist, soloist and composer,� Hudson said.
The groups then performed the Centennial Anthem �Grow in Grace,� composed by class of 1982 graduate Donna Butler Douglass. The song reflects a cry of the future of the university boasting lyrics like, �So they may grow in the knowledge of Christ.�
The song premiered February and is the song for the centennial anthem. Concluding the show was the concert version of �The Hymn to Alma Mater.� Written by Angell and Mary Ann Tisinger and arranged by Huggins, Ballweg took back the stage with conducting duties. The current rendition is the second version at OBU after the first version became a pep song in 1924.
The alumni proudly sang their Alma Mater for the conclusion of the show and the audience gave a standing ovation. Free ice was available in the Geiger Center following the show. Hudson expressed her thanks for the hard work of the music faculty for putting this event together.
�He [Ballweg] has so capably organized this event,� Hudson said. Cody Evans, 2003 OBU graduate and member of Chorale and University Ringers said, �Ballweg is doing an excellent job. The level of musicality is great.�

Are you ready for an adventure?
The land of ArmorGames holds many people from many lands, each with their own story, whether they be wanderers, questers, or seeking to rule. It is the latter people who are noticed the most, or so it seems, for they are the ones with the most ambition and are the most active, or so it is thought. But as to whether they are the ones who do eventually come to favor of the legendary masters of the land, that is another question altogether.
Many more still have speculated upon what it means to become a ruler of the land. Whether it comes with deeds, or whether it comes with reputation. Some of these people are daring enough to approach the so-called rulers, the hallowed moderators of ArmorGames, to ask them directly. "How does one become a moderator", they might ask. "Do I become one when I am rich enough?" "Do I become one if I report many crimes?" "Must I be courteous, polite and speak properly?" Long since have the moderators grown weary of these questions, because the legend of the Wheel of Moderation should be common knowledge (but that is another story for another day). In the meantime, these questions are like a duty they must endure, such is the nature of living beings and their curiosity.
But the ultimate answer, it seems, is obvious to some and eternally foreign to the rest. "It only depends", remarks one of these mysterious moderators, "on whether one follows the Way of Moderation."
