Texas relies more on toll roads as infrastructure funding falls short
Send this story to a friend

Texas is in the midst of rapidly expanding toll road projects as the state struggles to scrounge up transportation financing.
The Texas Tribune reports that in the last six years, the state has built more than 150 miles of toll roads and hundreds more miles of toll roads are planned.
Houston and Dallas were the top two areas in Texas that collected the most tolls, the Tribune reports.
Besides large cities, tolls are also expanding to smaller cities like El Paso and Brownsville as there is not enough state transportation money to fund needed road improvements.
The state is also looking at private-public partnerships, in which private firms partner with government entities, to fund toll roads, the Tribune reports. Ideally, the partnerships are designed to yield a profit for the private firms.
Due to the transportation funding crisis, many Houston-area businesses are concerned about their future, according to an article in this Friday's Houston Business Journal print edition.

Alex Higgins: Electrifying on the table, combustible off it
The Hurricane was an anti-hero but, despite the controversy, the two-time world champion will be remembered as one of the greats
Sunday 25 July 2010
Alex Higgins, who died last night, won two world snooker titles a decade apart and was an electrifying presence on the table and often a self-destructive one off it.
He won the world championship in 1972 at his first attempt when snooker barely registered with the British sporting public. By the time he captured the title again in 1982, it had been transformed into a frontline television attraction, largely due to the Northern Irishman's intoxicating playing style and vividly dramatic personal life.
Higgins's 1982 success at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre remains among snooker's most iconic moments. As the trophy was presented, he tearfully beckoned his wife, Lynn, and baby daughter, Lauren, on to the stage to share in the glory.
There were to be many more emotional moments in a life lived without compromise. Higgins could have accumulated more silverware than he did were it not for his volcanic temperament but his capacity to find trouble ensured he retained a huge fascination and, therefore, a sizeable following. His last playing engagement came in a Snooker Legends night at the Crucible in April where he received a rapturous ovation.
Higgins was born in Belfast in 1949 and learned his snooker trade at the Jampot Billiard Hall. He won the Northern Ireland amateur title at the age of 18 and moved to Blackburn to pursue a career on the green baize. Snooker at this time was in the doldrums with just a handful of professionals, little media coverage and television exposure limited to the weekly Pot Black series. At 23, he was the youngest ever world championship winner until Stephen Hendry captured the crown in 1990 at 21.
Higgins's 37-31 defeat of John Spencer, the defending champion, in the final signified a changing of the guard. The polite, staid world of snooker had never seen anything like the player nicknamed "The Hurricane". He would go on to revel in his status as "people's champion", packing venues even after his game had noticeably declined.
Yet for all the controversy, Higgins deserves to be remembered as one of snooker's greatest ever players. He won the Masters, the game's premier invitation title, in 1978 and 1981 and recovered from 7-0 down to beat Steve Davis 16-15 in the final of the 1983 UK Championship. In 1984, he won the World Doubles title with Jimmy White, his protégé who remained a close friend to the end, digging him out of many holes, particularly financial.
The remarkable 69 break Higgins made when a frame from defeat by White in the 1982 Crucible semi- finals has been constantly replayed and is still regarded as the finest match-saving contribution ever produced under pressure, consisting of a series of difficult pots each executed with the unique Higgins swagger.
Higgins finished runner-up to Ray Reardon in the 1976 world championship and lost 18-16 to Cliff Thorburn in the 1980 final, coverage of which was interrupted by live news reports from the Iranian embassy in London, which was being stormed by the SAS. So engrossed were millions in the snooker that the BBC was deluged with calls demanding they return to the Crucible.
Higgins's tumultuous private life kept him in the public eye but snooker's administrators grew tired of his behaviour, which often crossed the line from rebellious to unacceptable. In 1986 he was suspended for five tournaments after headbutting Paul Hatherall, the tournament director at the UK Championship in Preston, who had asked him to undergo a drug test.
Four years later Higgins was banned for an entire season for a litany of offences, including threatening to have his compatriot and fellow former world champion Dennis Taylor shot and punching a tournament press officer.
Despite their run-in, Taylor last night said: "I had so many terrific battles with Alex, particularly in Belfast. Towards the end it was sad but I prefer to remember him as he was when he first came on the scene."
Former world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan said: "Alex was one of the real inspirations behind me getting into snooker. He is a true legend and should be forever remembered as being the finest ever snooker player."
Willie Thorne added: "He made the game what it is today. He used to stay with me. My mother would do his ironing. It's very sad news. Snooker fans will miss him greatly."
Higgins' death had been predicted many times over the last three decades but Higgins was renowned as a fighter. In 1989, he won the Irish Masters despite having to limp around the table after falling 25 feet after a row with his then girlfriend. He survived throat cancer in 1998 and returned to smoking, despite having attempted to sue the tobacco companies who bankrolled the sport during his heyday.
Higgins last played in the televised stage of the world championship in 1994, when he became involved in an argument with the referee, John Williams, about where the official was standing. His last match on the circuit came three years later at the qualifying school in Plymouth where he was escorted from the venue for being abusive and eventually found lying on the ground in the early hours, the victim of an attack with an iron bar.
He attempted various comebacks, and in more recent times cut a sad figure, bitterly deriding the players who now dominate the circuit he helped to build. Last October, he played Thorburn again in a Legends tournament in Glenrothes. His frail frame and inability to talk in anything but a whisper reduced his notoriously tough Canadian opponent to tears.
Higgins relished his role as one of sport's great anti-heroes. He was uncompromising and could be impossible to be around, even for his friends, but was the key figure in snooker's rise from obscurity to the TV big time.
He divorced Lynn and is survived by her, Lauren and his son, Jordan.

2014 Nissan GT-R Track Pack: Godzilla Levels Up! - Ignition Episode 67
On this episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago and Randy Pobst head to the track
with the most extreme GTR yet, the 2014 GTR Track Pack. Unlike in previous
years, the 2014 GT-R does not receive any power or torque upgrades, so its
3.8-liter twin-turbo V-6 produces the
same 545 horsepower and 463 lb-ft of
torque as it did in 2013. That's not to say that Nissan left the VQ38DETT
alone -- the engine receives new injectors that provide more torque on the
high side of the rev range and an oil pan baffle that stabilizes oil
behavior and pressure when the car is being driven hard. The six-speed,
twin-clutch gearbox and Atessa all-wheel-drive system remain unchanged.
Ignition appears every Monday on the Motor Trend youtube

Digger : the Tragic Fate of the California Indians From the Missions To the Goldrush (97 Edition)by Jerry Stanley
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
From the award-winning author of Children of the Dustbowl comes a sobering look at two of the most frequently romanticized events in American history. For the native peoples of California, the period from 1769, when the first Spanish Mission was founded, to the 1850s, when the Gold Rush was at its height, was one of terrible violence and destruction. First, Spanish priests and soldiers sought to convert the Indians to Christianity and a "civilized" way of life. Yet for the Indians the story of the missions was one of hunger, disease, rebellion, and death. Then, during the Gold Rush, Indians were frequently kidnapped, murdered, and sold into slavery by white settlers. By the end of the nineteenth century, the surviving California Indians had been forced onto reservations and their way of life had been largely destroyed. With maps, a timeline, and glossaries on California's Indian tribes and mission history, Jerry Stanley tells the story of modern California from the poignant perspective of the Native American.
About the Author
x Jerry Stanley was born in Highland Park, Michigan in 1941. When he was seventeen years old, he joined the air force and was stationed in California, where he has lived ever since.

Super easy, and gorgeous on my carrot & pineapple cake! I substituted the vanilla essence with a teaspoon of the pineapple syrup which was left over from the pineapple I'd used for the cake. I also used the spreadable cream cheese. Much better than some frostings or icing which call for huge amounts of icing sugar. It was just the right amount to cover the top of the cake.
love this frosting!
Kids love this :-)
Yummy, Super easy! Xx
what cream cheese do i need to use ?
Easy to make, full recipe iced 9 large cupcakes. If you don't like vanilla, it may not be to your taste, perhaps substitute lemon juice. Kids and I liked the taste.
Love this icing.. will do no other. Perfectly delicious, easy to make and you can split the icing and add colours. It is so easy.
Delicious frosting and VERY easy to make!
Every time I make this frosting for my orange and poppyseed cake I always get comments on how good the frosting is! Excellent, easy and yummy recipe. I make it all the time.
Yummy recipe. Though I'm glad I made the recipe 50% larger. I also added some orange zest because it was for an orange cake, and used vanilla bean paste instead of essence.
super easy yummy frosting!!!
Would you be able to tell me around about how much it made? Would it be enough for 24 small cupcakes?? :) thanks
hi there, yes it would make enough for your cupcakes. it creams up really well :)

Step-by-Step Guide to Root Motorola RAZR M 4G LTE
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Vittorio Hernandez | December 31, 2012 12:52 PM EST
Rooting Motorola RAZR M is now easy and unrooting the device is simple too. Users are always warned about rooting any device due to warranty void but unrooting it will definitely restore back the warranty as if nothing happened.
Here is the summary of the rooting process of Motorola RAZR M.
Things to do first before rooting:
1. Back up all your files.
a. SMS - Use "SMS backup & restore app"
b. Contact - Sync with Gmail
c. Call log - "Call log & restore"
d. Multimedia and data files - Copy to internal or external SD card
e. APN & MMS settings - Take note of the info from this path "Applications > Settings > Wireless & Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names"
2. Enable USB debugging. "Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging.
3. Disable all antivirus installed in the phone to avoid interruption.
4. Full USB Read/Write access for successful rooting.
5. Do not perform the rooting process if the device has 20% or lower battery level.
Rooting Process
1. Download the "Rooting & Unrooting Package" (dlhg.eternityproject.eu/mtspyder/eprj/pedro/EPRJ_EasyRootICS_MultiOS_v1.5.zip) to the computer.
2. Extract the zip package.
3. Download the "Motorola Drivers"
4. Enable "Unknown Sources" in the device. "Config > Security > Unknown Sources".
5. Enable "Mock Location" as well. "Config > Developer Options > Mock Location".
6. Connect the phone to the computer using the original USB cable as Media Sync - MTP. "Config > Storage > Media Sync"
7. Run the script from the extracted folder (double click the .bat file).
8. Follow the instructions on the screen.
9. Disconnect the phone after the rooting process.
10. Check the Root status of the device by using "Root Checker" from the Google Play.
Rooting access will grant capability to Motorola RAZR M to have customised ROM flashed in the device.
According to the latest report, Motorola is set to release a new Razr M HD with upgraded specs, mainly a 4.5-inch display with a 720p (1280x720) resolution. It would likely have a dual-core Snapdragon S4 Plus processor running at 1.5Ghz, 16GB of storage space and 1GB of RAM, which places it between mid-range and high-end phones.

Subj: Sweet Victory
Hi Friend –
Tonight we celebrate.
After the vote, after 480 miles of marching, 12 days of occupation, 47 arrests, and 3 legislative wins, we gathered to announce the end of the #SACsitin. We celebrated our victories and shared a vision for where we go from here. I want to share those things with you and invite you to join our celebration.
Help us celebrate and spread the news of victory by sharing this graphic.
When we set out from Los Angeles 48 days ago, we were determined to make the sacrifice of walking almost 500 miles across California, occupying our state capitol for days, and going to jail because we believed it would do two things. First, we believed our bold action would challenge our elected leaders to acknowledge and act to end the crisis of corruption. The journey was indeed very difficult, the sacrifice real – marked by pain, stress, and fatigue – but our faith in its power has been dramatically confirmed by win after win.
The very first day after our arrival rally & first sit-in at the Capitol, California became the 2nd state in the union to pass a resolution calling for an Article V Convention to propose a money-out 28th Amendment. In the 1st week of our occupation, we joined other democracy activists in filling a hearing room with our bodies & stories and a once-uncertain committee passed the California Disclose Act. And on Monday, as we stood watch in the gallery and held high the new symbol of our movement – one finger raised high, signifying "one person, one vote" political equality – the Assembly passed SB1272.

2 hospitals fired man in hepatitis outbreak
New Hampshire Union Leader, July 30, 2012
The former Exeter Hospital medical technician accused in a hepatitis C outbreak was fired from a hospital in Pennsylvania in 2008, and again in 2010 while working at an Arizona hospital, where he was discovered unresponsive in a locker room with syringes and needles on him. David Kwiatkowski, 33, was fired in 2010 after working as a radiation technician for 11 days at Arizona Heart Hospital in Phoenix, according to a hospital statement. Two years earlier, he was let go from his contract job as a radiology technician at UPMC Presbyterian in Pittsburgh in 2008 after the hospital said he was found in an area where he wasn't assigned.

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green fell in love on the set of ABC's Hope and Faith eight years ago, and now the spouses of two years have teamed up once again on the small screen.
PHOTOS: Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green's happy marriage
Fox guest stars on the Nov. 17 episode of her husband's new TBS series, Wedding Band. (The episode was presumably taped before she gave birth to son Noah Sept. 27.)
PHOTOS: Megan Fox's body through the years
The 25-year-old plays an actress named Alexa who stars in a hit sci-fi series, Plutopia. Wearing a sexy, midriff-baring ensemble made of "genuine Italian space leather," Alexa meets Tommy (Green) after his band books a gig at Comic-Con.
"Are you on the bride's side?" Tommy asks Alexa. "The groom's?"
Astounded that she hasn't been recognized, Alexa -- who also speaks Elvish! -- replies, "You really don't -- you don't know?

"What am I supposed to know, that pleather is readily available in Middle-Earth?" Tommy fires back.

Every film that has ever been nominated for an Academy Award in any category. Enjoy!
Rent or Buy From $2.99 / $9.99
Buy on Disc From $9.62
1997 Directed by John Musker, Ron Clements
Zero to Hero!
Bestowed with superhuman strength, a young mortal named Hercules sets out to prove himself a hero in the eyes of his father, the great god Zeus. Along with his friends Pegasus, a flying horse, and Phil, a personal trainer, Hercules is tricked by the hilarious, hotheaded villain Hades, who's plotting to take over Mount Olympus!
Popular reviewsMore
Hercules is a film that doesn't stray far from the Disney formula but what it lacks in surprises and originality it makes up for in its brisk pacing and breezy tone. Directed by the duo of Ron Clements and John Musker, two men heavily involved in the studio's '90s renaissance, this is a stylish and brightly animated family film that gets by thanks to its relentless energy and charm.
Having practically exhausted every famous fairy tale it was only a matter of time before the house of mouse turned their attention to Greek mythology. Even with so many stories to choose from it is hardly surprising they chose the story of Hercules, not least because it is one of the…
First half of the movie was pretty weak....especially for a Disney Animated Movie. Second half was much better. The movie borrows heavily from other Disney movies as I saw parts of Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King and Mulan in Hercules. Music is average at best. Kept the kids entertained...but they did not want to watch the movie again when it went off....that is a bad sign in my house. Ranked 27th of 54 movies are my Disney Animation Cogerson Movie Score table. cogersonmoviescore.com/disney-animated-movies-best-to-worst.html
"Is... Is that the voice of James Woods?"
"I don't know."
"I think it is."
Turns out it was.
So there's that.
The platformer 'Hercules' for the Mega Drive/Genesis was quite good too, I seem to remember. Difficult, but fun.
Did you know there are two live-action Hercules films with huge budgets, completely independent of each other, coming out in 2014? One of them has The Rock and Lovejoy in it. The other I don't really know anything about.
I'm basically trying to skirt around the issue that this isn't a very good movie. Sorry. I know to some people that's sacrilegious to chastise a Disney movie, but it is actually pretty rubbish. It's only ever funny when it's unintentional, the bloody music / dance number in the middle of the film goes on for an age but I suppose at least it looked quite pretty.
This formulaic Disney musical keeps accumulating more formulas as it goes along. In an attempt to "punch up" the Greek myth, Hercules compiles pop-culture references and genre tropes that are not only crudely envisioned, but often downright contradictory to the story at hand. Consider, for instance, that the Greek chorus narrating this ancient myth is envisioned as a group of African-American soul divas belting a 1970s-style song titled "The Gospel Truth." Talk about worldview dissonance. Other irrational creative decisions follow: Danny DeVito as the New Yawkish satyr/trainer to our bland hero Hercules; a femme fatale romantic interest who swings her hips like Jessica Rabbit and talks like she's in The Big Sleep. Even the lone spark of creativity – James Woods' Hades, who sports flaming blue hair – has an odd hint of Jewish caricature. Overall, a hiccup for the hallowed Disney directing team of Ron Clements and John Musker (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Princess and the Frog).
"High above the mucky-muck, castle made of clouds,
There sits Wonderboy, sitting oh so proudly.
Not much to say when you're high above the mucky-muck.
Yeah, yeah.
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man?"
Above are lyrics from Tenacious D's Wonderboy. They have nothing to do with this film other than the fact they repeatedly call Hercules Wonderboy in the movie, and I was so bored my mind kept wondering and thinking of the song. The 2 1/2 stars are because it held my 2 year Olds attention for most of the runtime.
Man , I can't get emotionally involved with this . It lacks depth . True . Still , jokes and fun characters are there . Meg is cool and the romance works . James Woods owns the movie . Songs may not be among Disney's best (like the movie Itself) but they are enjoyable . I have nostalgic feeling for this one too , So naturally I will trash any other Hercules movie for the rest of my life !

Turn off the sound entirely and it's a masterpiece. Easily my favorite Disney character animation since The Little Mermaid.
As for everything else... we've got a slight hitch. Like with the previous film and Esmeralda, Disney heroines are being given a major leg up on the likes of Belle, Jasmine, and Ariel. Especially with all the moral shading. Megara is not only a completely entertaining wisecracker, she feels like a full, rounded character. Problem is- she's also the only one in the movie. This is one of Disney's weakest villains in some time (maybe if 75% of his rage-head fires weren't accompanied by sarcastic commentary by Meg), I can't remember the last time I saw an incarnation of the devil…

It came out when I was 4, so of course I've seen it uncountable times - I was Herc for Halloween in '97, actually, and it was the theme of my 5th birthday party. Despite all that, I'd never say it whenever someone asked me what my favorite Disney movies were, at any point. I still watch it every few years and I still feel that way.
There ARE some impeccable things on display, obviously - the overall design is one of the most notable of the renaissance; adapting the Muses as a gospel/Motown expository explosion is one of the best creative decisions in the history of animation; Woods and especially Egan knock everything out of the park.
BUUUUT. It's…
Solid Childhood memories will keep me from giving this movie the review it probably deserves, or what it really earned.
One thing that struck me this time is the product placement in the film, I'm not sure if it was there to sell real life products, or if it was an attempt to make the film less "Greek"...
These modern 'ads' mixed with the gospel music made for an odd combination in tone and style. There were some jokes about Greek mythology, but it felt like it was usually too afraid of its source material.
In honor of her Aunt and Uncle being in Greece, I decided to show Lily Hercules. I probably haven't seen it in a good 10-15 years.
The Gospel vibe in Hercules is undeniably awesome but doesn't quite gel with Greek myth, and the movie gets pretty hamstrung over how its protagonist is flatter than pita. Do I care? NO. You have to understand what this movie accomplished, which was during the lyrical highlight "I Won't Say I'm In Love," to make me, a very precocious 8 year old, do the grade school equivalent of losing my shit. If there's a prize for rotten judgment/I guess I've already won that./No man is worth the aggravation./That's ancient history./Been there, done that…This scene won't play/I won't say I'm in love…. See, Hercules is kinda ancient history and the thing that's happening is a movie scene itself, and catching that…
Walt Disney Animated Feature Series
Ok, I feel like I've used this a million times, and this is definitely becoming a theme with Clements/Musker, but this movie is just FUN. It's fun. It doesn't have any intense emotion, but it plays like a fast-moving Broadway musical with insanely memorable and catchy musical numbers and another amazing Alan Menken score.
This is something I've been meaning to mention about the Disney Renaissance, and now is probably the best time to bring it up. I think part of why these movies feel so different and unique tonally from previous Disney films is because of the teams behind them. I could be wrong, but I think most of them came from some…
I'll admit that Hercules isn't in the elite class of Walt Disney animations. It was sort of the beginning of a slow decline in the late 90s/early 00s before they found their way again with Tangled.
That said, I still enjoy it. It's a quick, fun film and Hades is easily one of my favorite villains in a Disney movie. The songs may not be as memorable as "Circle of Life" or "Bare Necessities" but they are good enough considering they are going right off that Disney formula. I know Hercules isn't for everyone, but I sure enjoy it.
If I've seen this before I don't remember ever watching it all the way through.
Watching animated classics is different when you're older; I root for the sassy villains more often and am on the search for the "adult humor" easter eggs.
For such a classic, straightforward story, I applaud Disney's creative licenses with the gospel-singing Muses and the quirky characterizations of the Greek characters. Disney never ceases to entertain. :3

Police remove man's body from Nashua River
A diver enters the Nashua River on Thursday while attempting to retrieve a body from the water behind Margarita's Restaurant. (Kimberly Houghton)
The pedestrian contacted authorities, and police and fire personnel arrived on the scene around 1:30 p.m. below the dam behind Margarita's Restaurant.
A small crowd of spectators gathered to watch as a dive team prepared to enter the water and retrieve the body.
The body of the adult male was stuck on a large branch protruding from the water, according to Lt. Michael Moushegian.
"The current is pretty swift, so they are trying to figure out how to remove him. It is deeper than they initially thought," Moushegian said at the scene.
Divers used ropes to detach the shirtless body from the branch and eventually pull it onto the shore before it was lifted onto a stretcher, up a ladder and over an embankment around 4:30 p.m.
"At this point we don't know who it is," Moushegian said late Thursday afternoon. Police are not speculating on the identity of the body, but did say that a person was reported missing in February while taking his dog for a walk along the river.
It is too early in the investigation to determine whether the missing person from this past winter is connected to the body found in the river on Thursday, Moushegian said.
Dagualberto Arzuaga, 43, was reported missing in February after walking a relative's dog near Mine Falls Park. Although the dog returned home, Arzuaga never did, prompting police to search the area and send a dive team into the Nashua River nearly two months ago.
Despite the search, Arzuaga was never located, and has been missing ever since.
Rich McLaughlin, the state's deputy medical examiner, was at the scene on Thursday, and police said an autopsy will be conducted to determine the man's cause of death.
The man's identity and cause of death were not expected to be released Thursday night, according to Moushegian, who said it is too premature to say whether the incident is criminal, accidental or intentional.
The body, as it was pulled from the river, appeared to be wearing jeans and boots, but no shirt.
John Hanlon of Hudson was having his car repaired nearby and stopped to see what all of the commotion was about Thursday afternoon near the water's edge.
"I saw a lot of fire trucks and cop cars and I thought they were probably doing some type of exercise or training," said Hanlon.
"It would be surprising if there was any foul play involved," said Hanlon, who has lived in the area for about 15 years and never knew a pathway existed along the Nashua River behind Margarita's Restaurant and the Nashua Public Library.
Earlier this year in the same vicinity, city police responded twice to Black Bridge, an old covered bridge near the railroad trestle, for two unrelated suicides.
