Shots of my garden which is now overgrown by weeds and wild flowers. Possibly a weekend project to clear the weeds…if the weather permits.
Happy Friday everyone!
I can see how you were inspired to do these post!
Although there are just unwanted plants, they look quite beautiful under the sunlight. Just thought of "flaunting" photo-taking skills… hahaha

Duke at Virginia Tech
When: 3:30 p.m.
Where: Lane Stadium, Blacksburg, Va.
Line: Virginia Tech by 13.5
TV/Radio: ESPNU/WDNC-620 AM, WKIX-102.9 FM
Time machine: 10/13/2012 Duke takes 20-0 lead in the first quarter but loses 41-20
Scouting No. 16 Virginia Tech (6-1, 3-0 in the ACC):
If youre not an avid reader of the ask an opponents beat writer series, check out this weeks addition with the Roanoke Timess Andy Bitteryoull learn plenty about Virginia Tech.
Some updates to pass along: the Hokies have a few notable injuries, including both of their starting corners, Sr. Kyle Fuller and Fr. Brandon Facyson. Fuller is questionable with a groin injury, and Facyson is doubtful with a concussion.
Virginia Tech is fortunate, as Sr. CB Antone Exum will make his season debut after rehabbing a torn ACL and bone fracture for the past eight months. Exum would have taken some snaps away from Facysonnow hell get virtually all of them.
Scouting Duke (5-2, 1-2):
In case you dont hang on my every word, heres a Q&A I did with Andy for his blog, which gives a basic overview of Duke on both sides of the ball.
The Blue Devils confidence is sky-high after last weeks win against Virginia, which featured a run of 35 straight points to end the game up 35-22. It was an important statement on Dukes trail back to relevance, which is well on its way. Check out this piece on the changing culture in the programhard to believe that nearly half of Dukes scholarship players have never missed a bowl.
Its college. Anything that happened more than 5-7 years ago is absolutely ancient history.
One trend of note this week: after spending the better part of the season publicly acknowledging the struggles of punter Will Monday, head coach David Cutcliffe switched his tune Thursday, pointing out Mondays overall numbers, which paint a much rosier picture than whats happened in reality (not all punts are of equal importance, and a shanked punt at a critical time matters far more than one that rolls 65 yards late in the fourth quarter of a non-competitive game).
Cutcliffe said they had made a few changes for Monday in practice this week, and all involved parties are excited to see how he plays Saturday. Field position will likely be keythe Blue Devils need to make the Virginia Tech offense go the long way.
Duke injury report:
WR Johnell Barnes (hand)
LB Kyler Brown (leg)
CB Bryon Fields (upper body)
CB Jared Boyd (leg)
S Dwayne Norman (leg)
QB Thomas Sirk (leg)
OT Tanner Stone (leg)
DT Jamal Wallace (leg)
Cutcliffe continues to be grateful that the Blue Devils have been fortunate in the injury department this year. Dwayne Norman is the only notable contributor that wont be available this weekend. Ross Cockrell has spent most of his time working at corner this week, so expect to see Corbin McCarthy, Deondre Singleton and Jeremy Cash in the safety spots.
Key Player for the opposition:
QB Logan Thomas, Sr.
The way I see it, this game will depend upon which Logan Thomas shows up. If its the one that has played in the Hokies first three ACC games this year, completing 65 percent of his passes for 221 yards per game with no interceptions, then Virginia Tech will likely roll to a relatively easy victory. But if its the bad, turnover-prone Thomas that struggles with accuracyhe completed just 49 percent of his passes for 181 yards per game with six interceptions in nonconference games against Alabama, Western Carolina, Marshall and East Carolinathen Duke should have a chance.
Thats the type of maddening inconsistency that has been a hallmark of Thomass tenure in Blacksburg.
Key Matchup:
Dukes offensive line vs. Virginia Techs defensive line
The Hokies lead the country with 27 sacks. Dukes offensive line has played well this year, surrendering just nine sacks on the year and opening holes for a running game that ranks fifth in the ACC with an average of 183 yards per game. How well the line protects Anthony Boone will be key. At least Boone (or Brandon Connette) has the ability to be mobile and make plays with his feetstatue-like quarterbacks (like Pitts Tom Savage) have been ripped apart by the Hokies defense (he was sacked eight times).
Not only is Virginia Tech good on defense, but the unit runs deep, with six players recording at least three sacks. The fresh legs will add another level of difficulty for the offensive line
Key Mismatch:
Jamison Crowder vs. Virginia Techs punt return unit
Mismatch is probably too strong of word, but the Hokies do have one of the worst punt coverage units in the ACC, and Duke has one of the best punt returners in the country. Virginia Tech has given up seven punt returns that have gone for at least 20 yards, and Crowder ranks fifth nationally with an average of 17.47 yards per return. He also has those two punt return touchdowns, one each against N.C. Central and Pitt.
If Duke is going to compete in Blacksburg, it will probably take some sort of defensive or special teams score to keep it close. In addition to a poor performance by Thomas.
Key Numbers:
2Virginia Techs national ranking for total defense (surrendering 256 yards per game)
3Virginia Techs national ranking against the pass
6Virginia Techs national ranking against the run
452yards per game Duke averages on offense
Pulse Check:
Cutcliffe has won 10 Coastal Division games while coaching the Blue Devils. Five of those have come against Virginia. Just one has come against a team that finished with a winning record (2012 UNC). Duke hasnt beaten a ranked opponent since 1994.
So what would a win against No. 16 Virginia Tech mean for the program?
I'll put it this way, Cutcliffe said on the ACC teleconference. We do have an open date after beating them because we'd probably all be on Cloud 9. That's just as honest as I can be. You don't want to be that way. You don't want to be giddy, if you will, about any win. But I'm certain the squad and the program itself would feel that way.
As you know, it's a huge task. But I understand exactly what you're saying. I don't know if I believe in milestones, but it would be a huge step in the right direction for this program.
My prediction:
Duke has put up points every week, even when trotting its third-string QB, who basically didnt play the position last year, out onto the field. I think the Blue Devils will be able to score some points against the Hokies.
I also, however, think Virginia Tech is the best team in the Coastal Division (dont talk to me about the rankingsI saw Miami in Chapel Hill for that awfully played Thursday night football game). Unless Logan Thomas beats himself, the Hokies formula of doing just enough on offense should be enough to get it done for them.
And, by the way, there are missed field goals baked into this final score.
Virginia Tech 28, Duke 14

I bought this shoe and LOVED it out of the box. note that I wear a size 10 adidas, but got these in a 9 (so they run very small). again I loved these shoes, fit great, light weight, nibble on the trail, no toe nail issues....and they look super cool. BUT after about 120 miles which included a run around Mt St Helens (so hard miles) one of the soles started to peel on the heel. Then at 155 miles (about 2.5 months) I see there is a tear on the inside of each shoe right between the clear hard support structure components. Looks like the tear will spread quickly. I returned these unfortunately. Pretty disappointing since I am also running two pairs of adidases that have 450 miles on them and they are still workable trail shoes. so on recommending the shoe - i would for around town, but not for trail running because of durability.

Issue Spot is looking ahead to 2012 and has put together a calendar of upcoming dates for the second half of the legislative session. January marks the beginning of the second year in the two-year session. The BBA will continue to work on advancing important bills that have already enjoyed some progress in the last year – whether that means they have had a public hearing or have been reported favorably from the committees to which they were originally assigned. These bills include the Massachusetts Uniform Trust Code, technical corrections to the Uniform Probate Code, a statute allowing post-conviction access to DNA testing, and the income tax "step-up."
The Judiciary Committee – the committee that has jurisdiction over the majority of the BBA's bills – still has five hearings left to schedule before March. The upcoming hearings will include bills that fall into the categories of real estate, criminal procedure, torts, constitutional issues and the catch-all category of miscellaneous and late file bills.
In addition to keeping an eye on legislation in the next few months and working to move our legislative priorities over the finish line, the BBA will closely monitor the state budget for FY 2013. Throughout the budget process, the BBA will continue to advocate for issues that impact the criminal justice system, including the Judiciary's budget and legal services.

Here, here Debbie, great letter. We all take our lives in own hands when crossing the streets in the town. this intersection is one of many. Your absolutely correct when you speak of the Concerts In The Park. Emails to the city council and the police department are in order. The flashing yellow speed sign is ineffective when red light runners are the norm. Thanks for looking out for all of us.
on Jun 8, 2008 at 4:54 pm
This is a great letter and I hope the city takes it to heart. Many other traffic lights are a problem. Even as a very fit and competitive athlete, I find it difficult to cross certain intersections before the light changes. Another very bad timing problem can be found at the intersection of Bernal and Valley. It is nearly impossible to get across the long part of the intersection without having to jog or run. I can do it because I'm fit, but what about elderly people or those with disabilities that cannot walk fast?
on Jun 13, 2008 at 8:42 am
Bravo Debbie,
My son has almost been run over several times on his way to school crossing at lights on First st. These were cars making right turns and not checking for pedestrians in the cross walks. I agree the city should be more concerned for the people who live here and not the cut-throughs.
I wish they would make it harder for them.

NagAconda: Python Instead of Perl for Nagios Plugins
The NagAconda Python tool helps when writing plugins for the Nagios monitoring tool and is available in its first open release.
Because developer Shaun M. Thomas found programming Nagios plugins as "something of a black art," he wrote the NagAconda tool based on the Nagios plugin development guidelines to simplify the process. The Python program produces plugins usable by Nagios.
Thomas has now released version 0.1.1 on the Google code page. The program is under BSD licensing. Brief documentation on NagAconda is on the Python package archive page.
Clever PunDon't know if anyone else has pointed this out, but apart from the obvious pun between "python' and "anaconda", there is also the word "naga" which is yet another word for "snake" in certain Indian languages.

Hey Kyle, I'll likely going to see you around because I'm gonna be at the Penn State Wilkes Barre Campus for my freshman year. See ya around!
Hey Kyle, just curious about you exhaust set up. I am planning on doing something similar using 10 series flows. What are the specs on the whole system: tue duals or Y-piped, before or after cat, tips...blah blah blah. Also wanted to know how bad the drone is on the highway? Extremely loud is what I'm looking for, but with out too much drone or any deceleration backfire noise.
Sounds cool, cowel hood? I bet your excited. I am getting new door handles and mirrors next week and I acan't wait. I'm going with the painted buckets with chrome handles. I am thinking about the cowel hood too. Let me know how it turns out.
Love your truck man, very clean. Keep it between the ditches, wait do you even have ditches up there?
It pretty much looks stock underneath. The stock hood insulation mounts to it just like the stock hood.
Objects in mirror are losing
I love it. One of my favorites is "Second Place means first to lose". Use the drive through your area on my way to Rome, NY. When you drive straight from Columbia SC to Rome it seems like you never get out of PA. Going the other way its Va that lasts forever. LOL
Thanks! Bought it from here.

Tika Sumpter Spotted With Oprah On Set Of New OWN Show
You know your career is going somewhere when you start bringing in that Oprah paper. Tika's definitely got next!
Last year, Oprah and Tyler Perry decided to join forces in an effort to draw a bigger audience to the OWN Network through original scripted programming. As part of the multi-year deal, Tyler would take a small equity stake in OWN and he would create television shows and projects specifically for OWN versus creating his own television channel, TylerTV with Lionsgate.
This week, Lady O confirmed that there is definitely something in the works when she tweeted a photo of herself behind the camera with Tyler Perry and another with actress Tika Sumpter. The caption read:
New Star in the making @iamtikasumpter All New Tyler Perry shows coming to @OWNTV in May.
Now, exactly what these projects are is still a well kept secret, but word is Tika will be starring in one of two scripted series for the network titled "The Have and Have Nots" and "Love Thy Neighbor." Both shows are scheduled to debut on May 29th.
Meanwhile, Tika is becoming all about Tyler Perry! She's currently working on the film adaption of his stage play, A Madea Christmas, which will hit theaters on December 13, 2013.
Yaaass Tika! So gorgeous!

People within a three mile radius of the city of Brandon will soon have a safe room to run to when severe weather is coming.
An 11,000 square foot community safe room is going up in front of the Multi-purpose Pavilion on Marquette Road.
Construction began about two weeks ago. The cinder block structure will withstand winds of up to 250 miles per hour.
The room will contain bathrooms and a kitchen is planned in a future phase of the project.
The room will hold 1,400 people and will double as a community room for all of Rankin County when it's not needed for emergency purposes.
District 3 Supervisor Greg Wilcox explains who's paying for it.
"It's a 95/5 match. Ninety-five percent from the Feds and five percent from Rankin County citizens. It's a $3.5 million building for the Rankin County citizens. It's about $172,000, we'll have to match with that," Wilcox said.

Ashton Kutcher has been acting way too happy on the set of his sitcom Two And A Half Men lately, why? Here's a clue. He's certainly not all smiles about his birthday or the cheesy birthday cake his co-workers got him. He's probably happy because his famous wife is out of the public eye in a non-disclosed location for celebrity rehab. Since the now infamous 911 phone call incident where an unconscious and non-responsive Demi Moore went into seizures in her celebrity home after a night of smoking a drug called Spice, allegedly doing Whip-Its (huffing nitrous oxide out of whipped cream cans to get high), and drinking with her daughter Rumer Willis, he looks like the good guy.
With his famous wifey tucked away somewhere out of the public eye, actor Ashton Kutcher seems to be acting way too happy on the set of Two And A Half Men, even for a funny guy. If he ever really loved Demi Moore [and was not just using her for her Hollywood connections and money], how could the self-proclaimed humanitarian possibly cause her so much pain and then seem to be happy while she's so clearly suffering?
Demi Moore, his estranged wife, is rumored to be at a treatment facility somewhere in the United States. Many rumor mills reports claim she's been checked into a luxury rehab facility in Utah that focuses on treating women with eating disorders and men and women with drug and alcohol addictions. No real proof has surfaced to confirm the location but every photog in the world would trade their best telephoto lenses for a photograph of the star through the window of the 5-star luxury resort style medical facility.
These same sources have even gone so far as to suggest a really strange Two And A Half Men tie between Ashton Kutcher and Charlie Sheen. The rumor mills reports say that wifey has been under lock and key getting treated for drug and alcohol abuse with the former sitcom actor's ex-wife Brooke Mueller (as preposterous but "small-world, Hollywood" as that may seem).
However, it is most likely that Moore has gone further off the grid that any of the tabloid writers suspect.
If she is working with Deepak Chopra, the chances are she's planning to spend some time working with him either alone or in group therapy sessions — as the face to face counseling time with celebrity friends and people in crisis can sometimes work the best.
To that end, finding Demi right now — which to date has been more like playing a game of Where's Waldo — might be easier to do if the paparazzi put a tail on the best-selling author.
Furthermore, because Demi has been known to visit with him overseas, it would not be surprising at all to find out that her daughters are remaining in California to distract the tabloid media while their mother recovers in some Eat, Pray, Love manner in treatment facilities that look somewhat similar to the places her real life pal Julia Roberts' fictional character stayed while she was filming the movie.
As for her estranged husband Ashton Kutcher, there has been some slightly disturbing news. He's acting a bit too happy right now, considering the emotional crisis put his wifey in to begin with when he decided to cheat.
"With his estranged wife Demi Moore recovering in rehab following her recent hospitalization, Kutcher returned to the set of his CBS sitcom on Jan. 31 after a trip to Brazil…" said the magazine. "Ashton was in a great mood and seemed to be excited to be back at work," an eyewitness told PEOPLE at the time."
Why was the actor in such a great mood while his wife he previously professed to love and care about so much was obviously hurting?
Probably because her little "health crisis" 911 call took the focus off of him for a while. Ashton Kutcher was caught cheating on his wife with a very young woman named Sarah Leal — who eagerly some the story of their lovers tryst to the tabloids almost immediately. With rumors that Ashton and Demi had an open marriage, some swinger sources say that the straw that broke the camel's back in the relationship was not his dalliance with the other woman as much as the news he failed to use protection.
Ashton and Demi had been trying for years to conceive a child of their own (unsuccessfully) and the news he had let that special part of their bond been broken by another women likely broke the heart and trust of the open-minded 49-year-old actress completely.
Alth0ugh it would be nice to think that the two star celebs have had an emotional breakthrough in counseling and he's happy that they are on their way to mending the relationship he so seriously damaged, it is not likely. Since the highly publicized split, he's done almost everything but have her back. Actually, in all reality, he's been spotted out in night club venues all over the world — from local dive bars to the hottest clubbing venues. To that end, while he may have been a more resilient partier than she, he really is making himself look a bit douchey.
Just so we're clear — when the cameras for Two And A Half Men are not rolling, turn down the smiley face @aplusk. Seriously… even if you can't take back what you've done wrong, at least make an effort to look like you have some empathy (which for the record is completely different than sympathy).
@MrsKutcher is seriously hurt and you should consider this your golden opportunity to make or break your connection with her by the way you behave. If you are in mourning, there is a chance you two can fix things, but if you keep going the way you are, there will never be a chance for either of you to heal.
While you might not look like the walking wounded when you see yourself in the mirror, only the most callous and least evolved spirits in the world who truly do not have your best interest at heart don't see that all this party boy womanizing persona you put up as a front is because you have learned unhealthy coping mechanisms that ultimately can damage or destroy your soul completely.
Good karma = nice people might finish last but they are always rewarded for their faith and goodwill.
Bad karma = bad people burn out and fade away in a blaze of glory before ever reaching the spiritual finish line and evolving.
End rant — and soapbox preaching… but Ashton Kutcher, you really should be listening.
Stop embarrassing yourself and wifey even if you two really are divorcing. The karmic wheels you are spinning like a DJ playing the same old stereotypical broken records of the cheater's dance not only sound scratchy, they are making anyone watching them closely dizzy. Demi Moore already fell down because of it, and its only a matter of time until you yourself start to get motion sick from all the ridiculous crap you are doing to keep busy. What's worse is the fact you are likely to get one of these bimbo club girl pregnant and then you will be stuck trying to make things work with her so you don't have to pay through the nose to see your own baby.
So ease up on the happy and chill out on the partying with other women.
If you don't, rumor mills reports are going to start surfacing that you never really loved your wife and were just using her for her money and to advance your career — and that won't be good for either of you professionally or personally.

ROAD safety instructor Matt Irvine has slammed new laws allowing motorcyclists to ride between cars.
From July, fully licensed ridwill be able to weave between the lanes of stationary traffic on NSW roads at speeds up to 30km/h.
The law follows a two-month trial and is designed to ease traffic congestion.
"My concern is when the traffic moves off and motorcyclists need to find their own patch of bitumen," Mr Irvine said.
"While the cars are stationary it doesn't bother me, but I think there will be some panel damage."
Motorcycle rider Ray Vanderby said while the new law was a positive, motorcyclists will need to drive defensively to avoid an accident when riding between cars.
"There is that element [of risk] involved and I think it's a good idea to put the 30km/h speed limit on it, to weave in and out of traffic at speed is dangerous," he said.
Mr Irvine is a driving and motorcycle instructor and examiner.
He said the new law will further strain the relationship between two types of motorists on the road.
"I worry already about the hostility between motorcyclists and motorists, I fear it will exacerbate this," he said.
Mr Irvine said the new law should not have been introduced because it cannot be enforced.
"How are you going to judge 30km/h?" he asked.
"It's a highway patrol officer's worst nightmare."
While the law might work in larger metropolitan areas, Mr Irvine said it would not work in Orange.
"Summer Street is already too narrow," he said.
Motorcyclists will not be able to ride between cars in school zones, beside kerbs or next to trucks and buses.

Girl Scout repairs corral to earn Gold Award
SPRING, Texas (Dec. 21, 2010) – Girl Scout Ambassador Kelsi C. organized a group of volunteers to repair and improve the Spring Clover Corral 4-H barn after it was damaged during hurricane Ike and clean a local cemetery to earn the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts earn this recognition.
"I learned that the Clover Corral kids and parents really appreciate all the help they can get," says Kelsi, a senior at Spring High School. "In the case of the cemetery, volunteerism helps a lot."
Earning the Gold Award is a significant honor that requires recipients to demonstrate outstanding leadership skills, career planning, community involvement and personal development. It takes more than 100 service hours and two to three years of intensive work to complete the award requirements, which include planning and completing a project that is a service to the community.
"I chose this project because I'm very involved in 4-H," explains Kelsi. "The kids at the Clover Corral work very hard and they deserve a nicer-looking facility."
Kelsi organized about 25 volunteers to make repairs to the barn and clean Spring Cemetery. The project took nine months to complete. When it was finished, Kelsi invited a daycare to tour the barn to promote involvement in the Spring 4-H Club.
"This project proves that she can lead adults and children to accomplish one common goal," says Marsha Cook, Kelsi's mother.
As an active member of Girl Scouts, Kelsi was involved in the Green Starlettes from 2006-2008. At Spring High School, she has served as the FFA president from 2009-2011. Her awards in the program include the Texas Lonestar degree, Chapter degree, Star Chapter award, and Greenhand degree. She is also involved in yearbook, peer mentoring, Shattered Dreams and Spring 4-H Club. Following graduation, she hopes to attend Blinn College and eventually Texas A&M University to study agribusiness.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 72,000 girl members and 18,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties.

Financial, Personal, and Professional Growth
I just spent a little time reading some of my past posts on this site. It's amazing how much has changed since I began this endeavor, and yet much remains the same.
I still have credit card debt, but I'm making progress towards eliminating it, and I paid off one of my student loans earlier this week (hooray!). Matt has some debt of his own, but it's much less significant than mine, and we're working on a plan to pay that off together.
Between wedding gifts of cash, holiday money, tax refund, and our meager bonuses, Matt and I have managed to save nearly $10,000 since we said 'I do' in October. We need to invest some of that money into our house if we're going to list it within the next month, but hopefully we'll be able to unload it for more than we put in, and perhaps even make a bit of a profit.
Before the wedding, I had a minor case of cold feet and some serious money/role issues, but I'm happy to report that my feet warmed nicely in the weeks preceding the wedding, and I feel silly about ever writing about my breadwinner hang-ups. I'm not saying that getting married magically resolved my psychological issues, but putting my concerns into words and getting immediate feedback from readers was hugely cathartic. What I have come to realize is that this is no such thing as a 'normal' American household. Matt and I are finding our own way and figuring out how to make it work for us. We're a team and that's all that matters.
I wish I could write more about what's going on at work - its providing fantastic case studies for my students (I'm still teaching evening classes at a local university), but I'm afraid to put anything that may identify me or my workplace on the interweb, especially since more budget (and likely job) cuts are coming down the pipe. I will say that our marketing department is in crisis mode - all hands are on deck - crafting new savings recovery messaging for each of our many audiences. Employers are worried that their employees aren't going to be prepared for retirement. Retirement plan participants and individual investors are (surprisingly) already past the freaking-out stage and have accepted the reality of this market - they are looking for solid advice and strategies that answer the question everyone's asking: "what now?" Advisers are getting back to basics and are trying to convince their clients who bailed for treasuries and bank CDs that now is the time to get back into the market and that stocks are on sale. Banks are trying to figure out where they can invest all of the cash that's rushing through their doors for a hint of a profit, and good old MBS (mortgage backed securities) are the institutional investment of choice.
Concerns about job security and worries about some strained work relationships are the things that keep me awake at night lately. In the past year I've learned so much about corporate politics, strategic planning, and the value that smart marketing can bring an organization. I recently discovered Cy Wakeman's "reality-based leadership" theory and have been working on putting my own ego and career aspirations aside in order to be a more helpful strategic partner. I'm hopeful that my eagerness to take on some extremely challenging projects at work will be enough to secure my job through this trough.
In other news, I'm further diversifying my sources of income through a bit of consulting work. I've been doing some pro bono strategic planning with a couple of non-profit boards I'm on, and recenlty an actual for-profit organization offered to pay me for my services. Matt's been doing some freelance graphic design work as well, and we're thinking about finally writing a business plan and launching our own markeitng and business consulting firm. We'll see.
What personal, household, or career break-throughs have you experienced as a result of our current 'economic downturn'?Stumble it!

South Dakota State earned a four-game series split with a 3-0 win over North Dakota State in Summit League baseball Sunday, April 7, at Erv Huether Field.
SDSU starter Adam Bray (3-1) struck out seven in seven innings of work and J.D. Moore pitched the final two innings for his sixth save of the year as the Jackrabbits improved to 14-11 overall and 2-2 in the league.
NDSU starter Trevor Jaunich (2-3) went 6 1/3 innings allowing one earned run on five hits with three walks and six strikeouts. The Bison dropped to 14-13 overall and 2-2 in the league after collecting a season-low four hits - all singles.
Each team had just two hits through five innings. Jaunich escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the sixth when he got a strikeout and ground ball to keep it a 0-0 game.
North Dakota State didn't advance a runner past second base until the seventh when Tim Colwell singled, moved to second on a bunt, and was thrown out at home by SDSU right fielder Scott Splett trying to score on Blake Turbak's one-out single.
The Jacks broke through in the seventh when Eric Danforth led off with a single, advanced to second on a bunt and scored on Paul Jacobson's single. Jacobson went to second on a failed pickoff and stole third before scoring on Splett's two-out single for a 2-0 lead.
SDSU tacked on an insurance run in the eighth against NDSU reliever Simon Anderson when Daniel Marra led off with a single and scored on Reid Clary's one-out double.
North Dakota State continues Summit League play on the road with doubleheaders Friday, April 10, at Oakland and Sunday, April 12, at Fort Wayne.

Force India Deputy Principal Bob Fernley believes Mercedes and Williams are the teams to beat in the season's first race in Australia in little more than a fortnight's time.
Williams driver Felipe Massa topped the time sheets on the penultimate day of testing in Bahrain last week, before Lewis Hamilton in his Mercedes was fastest on the final day, a mere two hundreds of a second slower than the Brazilian.
"It would be very nice, but I think the important thing is that if we can be competing strongly with Williams and Mercedes. There's no reason why we shouldn't do," Fernley told crash.net when asked during an exclusive interview of he believes Force India could be the leading non-works Mercedes outfit.
"I think Williams might have something to say about that!
"Mercedes are looking exceptionally strong and so are Williams at the moment; I don't think we have probably got quite their outright pace but I think the race will be a different issue.
Fernley added that the Silverstone outfit's confidence heading into the season is based on their impressive performances during pre-season.
"I think it's been a very productive three tests overall. We have done all of the things that we set out to do. Test one was basically getting software systems aligned and just ironing out any installation errors, which we did and got a decent run on the last day of that which ticked the box there," Fernley added in his interview with crash.net.
"Test one in Bahrain was about getting some set-up work done and getting some basic distance runs in and [the last test] has been about some performance runs and race sims.
"I think we've ticked all the boxes. 100 laps per day for [the third test] has been quite an impressive process and credit to the team because that's not an easy thing to do."

Feb. 26th, 2009
College Office Board Room
Richard Allison
Joyce Breckenridge
Alan Bickerton
Maryann Anderson, College Council Chair, called the meeting to order at 2:30 PM.
Toni Carney made a motion to approve the minutes of the Feb. 12th, 2009 meeting of College Council. Rita Gallegos seconded the motion. The minutes were approved as amended.
Toni Carney reported that the Subcommittee did not meet due to lack of proposals; however, there are 4 that are forthcoming.
Steve Wells reported that the Subcommittee did not meet. On March 5th, the Subcommittee will revisit the 2011 calendar with the assistance of Fran Dice. Dr. Wells also reported that there are a number of program reviews that will be presented soon.
Proposal: Internet Course Listing Rotation by Campus
Ping Wang reported that the Subcommittee passed the proposal regarding the rotation in the Tab of distance learning courses among the campuses. The proposal was presented by the Initiator, Leela Murthy. Dr. Murthy teaches biology in the traditional classroom mode as well as an internet course. She summarized the proposal by saying that the proposal will ensure equity and fairness for all campuses by rotating the internet listing in the Tab by campus. The current practice has Allegheny Campus always listed first, followed by Boyce, then North and South. Dr. Murthy provided a PowerPoint presentation of documentation which included the following points:
Distance learning has experienced a 9.8% increase from Spring 2008 to Spring 2009; however, the increase is not consistent across all campuses. Allegheny is up 21.4%, Boyce 11.7%, North 8.1%, and South is down .1%
Although there is an overall cancellation rate of 1.9% for internet courses, the average cancellation rate for an internet course listed behind one other campus is 7.8%. Boyce and North both have a cancellation rate of 5%, South's cancellation rate is 13.3%, and Allegheny's cancellation rate is 0%.
Dr. Murthy made the point that 44% of distance learning students take only internet courses therefore the names of the campuses for that population are irrelevant. Students will enroll from the top to the bottom of how courses are listed.
The proposal calls for campuses to rotate the order in which they are listed in the Tab:
Fall 2009 Boyce, North, South, and Allegheny
Spring 2010 North, South, Allegheny, and Boyce
Summer 2010 South, Allegheny, Boyce and North
Fall 2010 Allegheny, Boyce, North and South
Spring 2011 Boyce, North, South and Allegheny
Summer 2011 North, South, Allegheny and Boyce
The schedule order for each campus would be kept intact and there would be no violation of the language of the AFT contract.
Mr. Wang, Assessment and Research Subcommittee Chair, presented a PowerPoint presentation of research that he and 6 other distance learning faculty members conducted of students taking internet courses:
With the goal to identify student preferences, faculty members distributed 529 surveys and received 326 responses from students taking internet courses of various majors. This research showed that 62.2% of those students prefer to register online at CCAC Central and 58.9% will select the open section at the top of the list. Additionally, 35.5% of students will select the open section offered by a particular campus.
Mr. Wang discussed "relevant" and "irrelevant" cancellations and said there is concern from Boyce, North and South campuses that they will face even greater cancellation rates.
John Dziak argued that the College has the right to set schedules. Carl Francolino said that this was not scheduling but a listing that did not violate contract language. Mr. Wang added that if the College has the right to set schedules, wouldn't it be in the interest of the College to set schedules in a fair and equitable manner?
Gail Boyea offered her own research on how name order affects voting. The State of Vermont went to an alphabetical listing of candidates' names, but changed to a random order after conducting a study that found that the first name listed on a ballot does have an advantage. Stanford University did a similar study and concluded that in the interest of fairness, names on ballots should be random and not alphabetical.
Mary Frances Archey and John Dziak said there is transcript from negotiations in which a question was asked of John Dziak how distance learning listing would be handled. John Dziak replied during negotiations that Allegheny would be first, followed by the other campuses in alphabetical order. Barbara Thompson reminded John Dziak that the AFT should represent all campuses equally and that always listing Allegheny Campus courses first showed favoritism and was unfair.
Sue Myrick asked about past grievances involving distance learning scheduling. Donna Imhoff outlined a grievance from Spring 2006 thru Fall 2008. There were new rules that were implemented by Distance Learning staff having to do with how courses were assigned. Sometimes courses were assigned not by seniority but by when the faculty member got their request in that had nothing to do with the contract or previous practice. Sue Myrick said that the current way that internet courses are listed has localized something that shoud not be localized and that internet course are buried under campuses. As a Business faculty member, she remarked that the Tab is a marketing piece. Students don't care what campus an internet faculty member is from. Distance learning should be beyond all geographic barriers.
Mr. Wang argued that scheduling is one thing and listing is another. Mr. Dziak said he was afraid there would be a grievance if the listing would be changed and that we don't know if there would be different outcomes if the listing would be different. After a meeting on February 9th attended by Ping Wang, John Dziak, Mary Frances Archey and Donna Imhoff, Mr. Dziak said he left the meeting believing that the topic would be researched and taken up in the next contract.
Alan Bickerton, Systems Manager for Datatel remarked that changing the rotation is doable, but not for the Fall semester. Eileen Wrigley from South Campus who has been teaching distance learning courses since the beginning remarked that the majority of students select the campus at the top of the list because they want to be sure they register for a section that will run. She offered that if 2 CIT faculty members entered their teaching loads as 4 courses each at Allegheny, then Allegheny is guaranteed to run the first 8 courses. Perhaps there should be a lottery. Ms Wrigley remarked that the system would be fairer than it is now.
Dr. Archey said that we are ready to do the course download and there is not enough time to do this differently. Mr. Wang said he sees a strategy of delay. Joann Hunter said that if the College wants this to be done, it can be done and that the current practice is counterproductive between colleagues and ultimately hurts the student.
Dr. Murthy said if the rotation can't commence for the Fall semester, then she agreed to have it start in the Spring.
Maryann Anderson reminded Council that there is a possibility that this is not a College Council issue.
Steve Wells said he is concerned that the proposal might cause more problems, but is not able to come up with a better solution. He fears that the proposal would be bogged down in arbitration.
Donna Imhoff said she wanted to abstain from voting because she has worked on the issue as an AFT officer, has served on the negotiations team as both an AFT member and an Administrator and would now be asked to implement this as an Administrator. She said she can understand both sides.
Toni Carney made a motion to accept the proposal. Rita Gallegos seconded the motion. The motion was amended so that the rotation would start with North Campus first for the Spring semester 2010. The motion passed with 7 votes yes and 3 votes no.
Proposal: Deletion of Horticulture Program
Maura Stevenson reminded Council that the Program had already been deleted and the paper work provided the justification for that action. The Program was suffering from dwindling enrollment. Graduates were securing only minimum wage jobs with the engineers and landscape architects being hired into the better positions. Maryann Anderson remarked that with all of the green technology, she was surprised at the dwindling enrollment. Mary Frances Archey said the program might be moved to non-credit. Graduates were doing little more than moving around soil and laying sod. Judy Savolskis attempted to get this Program on the high priority list but the State declined.
Gail Boyea made a motion to accept the proposal. Rita Gallegos seconded the motion and the motion passed with 9 votes in favor and 1 abstention.
Proposal: Change of an Existing Course
Maura Stevenson explained that the Initiator of this proposal was the Subcommittee and that Rich Betters was kind enough to act as the editor. The original proposal was distributed at the end of January. There were so many comments and changes incorporated that it was redistributed to the College Community. The proposal calls for experimental courses to be initiated by a faculty member and approved by the Department Head and campus-based Associate Dean. Experimental courses may run a maximum of 4 times within a 4 year time period. The restriction of one section per semester was deleted.
At any time the experimental course can be considered for permanent status by the initiator putting the course through the normal governance process.
One part of the proposal did not include "Experimental Course" in the proposal title. This will be changed from "Changes in Existing Course" to "Experimental Course Process."
Toni Carney made a motion to accept the proposal with the change in the proposal title and the deletion of the phrase which limits the sections to one per semester or session. Steve Wells seconded the motion and the proposal passed unanimously with the modifications.
Maura Stevenson said that the Subcommittee may not meet next week. There are many proposals out there that may not be ready in time. The deadline to receive a new proposal would have been 2:00 pm Thursday.
There was no unfinished business.
President's Council
Maryann Anderson reported that she attended President's Council at which Dr. Johnson approved the hiring and minority lists in the order recommended by Council. He directed the Deans to start the hiring process. Mrs. Anderson thanked Academic Planning for their hard work.
There being no further business, the meeting ended at 5:20 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Barbara Thompson
College Council Secretary

CATEGORIES Movies, News/Reactions, Sci-FiAs production gears up for Guy Ritchie's live-action version of DC Comics' Lobo, Comics2Film went to their sources for a casting scoop. The name that keeps coming up behind closed doors? Character actor Clancy Brown (Highlander, The Shawshank Redemption).
This fits in with their idea of approaching Lobo like Guillermo Del Toro did with the live-action Hellboy. If the actor is barely recognizable under heavy make-up and prosthetics, then you don't need a superstar -- you just need someone who can play the part. Clancy Brown can definitely play the part.
The Lobo comics are hyper-violent sci-fi comedies about an aggressively rude spacefaring mercenary. The upcoming movie finds Lobo landing on Earth in pursuit of fugitives, and dragging a human girl along with him to help him to acclimate to Earth. Clancy is no stranger to the DC Universe, having provided the distinctive voice of Lex Luthor to a large number of WB animated projects. Lobo is set to begin production in 2010.

Losing Professor Means hurts because we need someone with his economic perspective rather than pie-in-the-sky mentality.
I like INKS, NEAL and CLARK because they're real, creative, problem solvers who are down-to-earth and actually think about the small business owners sho live and work in this community!

Diner Reviews
Jake's never disappoints. I was
there for the third time in the past 6 months; I got the exact table on the patio as requested; our table was ready upon arrival. We were promptly greeted and service continued to be crisp, attentive without ever being too intrusive. There are always a few new dishes along with some great standards. I had the chicken piccata which was perfectly cooked, well-flavored and beautifully plated. While the special desserts were as tempting as ever, I passed. It's amazing to me that those spectacular sweets (especially the coconut cake) are only $8. Jake's never disappoints; on of Palm Springs GREAT restaurants."

Every time I dine at Jake's the
consistency with both the food quality and service amazes me. I recommend Jake's to our hotel guest all the time."
Dined on 7/5/2014
Jake's is a great addition to the
Palm Springs vibe of small, cozy, interesting, and consistantly good food offerings in the design district of North Palm Springs. Always inventive and classic with a twist but never sacrificing quality. Presentation is charming and inviting. Lunch is a real deal but dinner is not to be missed. For dessert lovers this is definitely the place. Service is right on and casual with some of the friendlliest servers in the valley. Always a go to place for guests from city dwelers who don't know what PS has to offer."

Good food and service. The

I was greeted accordingly with
warm smiles and hospitality from the get go. Our server although I don't recall her name was top notch. She had a great knowledge of the menu and the specials for the day. She checked up on us at all the right times and made our dining experience one to remember. The food was very good, I would definitely come back for more. The ambiance, and look of the place was very sheek and tasteful. A small but great place to dine."
Dined on 7/2/2014
This was our second visit in a
week. This time we brought another couple. All 4 of us had a great experience. The sea bass special was outstanding. I ordered the swordfish and the flavors were amazing. Will definitely be back."
Dined on 7/2/2014
Jake's is always on the list when
I come to town. This time I had the sea bass which was a daily feature. It was outstanding. Given I am from northwest and get great fish routinely, I don't offer this accolade unless deserved. Plan a return trip before leaving the desert."

i got sea bass special. it was a
huge piece of fish and seasoning was excellent. scallops were awesome although the salad that accompanied them was a but scary. we didn;t get it, but there is a pix fix menu for $30 wuth decent choices. several groups came and sat at the bar and ordered dessert - huge pieces of cake and cupcakes. we were stuffed but all the baked goods looked awesome. ."
Dined on 6/21/2014
We go to Jake's regularly and are
never disappointed. The menu remains fresh and interesting thanks to incredible specials. I thought I didn't like seafood, but the server convinced me to try the special citrus encrusted Chilean Sea Bass. omg. I could eat that several times a week. Excellent service, excellent food. The owners are always on the premises making sure everything is perfect."

We come to Palm Springs a couple

I booked this restaurant based
upon reviews etc and wasn't disappointed! We had never been to Palm Springs before and this was our first dinner on the night we arrived. We sat inside for the air conditioning which was excellent. Delightful recommendation for the red wine and the menu selection was great! Very much enjoyed all that we tasted. Our Server was very busy but attentive and pleasant. The tables are close in proximity, however, that prompted conversation with the 4 gentlemen next to us, who supplied us with some great places to visit and endless "tales". Thank you for an enjoyable evening! We shall return!"

Dined on 6/11/2014
Jake's was very busy the night we
were there. It was during Restaurant Week which I love. Our table was down by the kitchen…….and we didn't like that. We should have asked for another table…..it was our fault that we didn't. We felt isolated and away from the nice feeling the patio gives you. Food was great and there was nice service even though the place was packed. The service is always good there. Everyone wants to help to make your evening special. Next time I will simply ask for a table that is in more in the center of the room."
Dined on 6/7/2014
First time diner and we loved the
foods, atmosphere and service!"
Dined on 6/7/2014
Jake's was recommended to me by a
friend who raved about the restaurant. I was looking for a good restaurant for a girl's weekend in Palm Springs. Wow, "good" does not describe the experience we had. Jake's is nestled into an area of Palm Springs; you would miss it it you didn't know to look for it. The service was friendly from the start. We got the window table I reserved and was immediately greeted by our server. We unknowingly dined during Restaurant Week and were surprised to find the prix fix menu to be much larger than expected. AND, we were not short changed on the portions! We could not believe what we got for $26! Make sure to try the coconut cake with amaretto...OMG! We will definitely be back and recommend to others."
Dined on 6/7/2014
This is a very good very hard to
find restaurant on North Canyon (hint the double black doors). There is a "sandwich board" sign about 2.5 feet high on the sidewalk but no name on the building. Regardless; the restaurant has a 20 seat inside part and about a 50 seat patio in the enclosed area behind the black doors. We were there for restaurant week and ordered off the special menu. A petite fillet and a chicken marsala dish which both came "tall" style on a bed of mashed potatoes with long broccolini and asparagus below the meat. Both were very good. The desserts were outstanding!"
Dined on 6/7/2014
This restaurant is fantastic. We
lucked out and happened to be there for restaurant week, which included dessert. That was the best part. Buttercream frosting...YUM. Our dinner selections were also great and we were able to order a reasonably priced bottle of wine. Great experience! I even recommended to some friends and they went the following night. They loved it too!"
Dined on 6/6/2014
Great food - a local secret.
Restaurant Week in Palm Springs is awesome.Ribs were fabulous and filet was amazing!"

Food was very good & service was

The food was excellent and so was

My salmon entrée was fantastic,
simply delicious! I would recommend Jake's to all my friends, and I intend to be a regular."
Dined on 6/5/2014
A group of eight traveled from
Rancho Mirage to dine at Jake's, it was well worth the drive. All of us said we would be back. The ribs and scallops were over the top good as was everything else. What it lacks in ambience was made uu in the great food and frendly service. "
Dined on 6/5/2014
We sat at a nice table inside,
right in front of the front window. That was fine. But the table of 8 people next to us were so loud, I couldn't hear my table-mates. I asked the waitress if we could move to the table closest to the entrance (the east end of the banquet bench) and she sent back the manager or owner, I don't which, and he said no, that that table was set up for 4 people. we had 3 people. Basically said, too bad, so sad. While the food was very good, and the service was pretty good, the evening was ruined with all the noise from that party of 8. IF, and i mean IF, I ever go back there, I'll request an outside table...it had to be quieter than inside. "
Dined on 6/5/2014
Our experience this visit wasn't
the best we have had a Jake's. We have had some outstanding meals and service there in the past. Food was good, service seemed like an after thought. "
Dined on 6/4/2014
We make sure to eat at Jake's on
every trip to Palm Springs. The food and cocktails are creative without being over the top. The food is delicious. Wide selection of yummy desserts, too. Loved the salted caramel vanilla cake. We like to sit on the patio. Restaurant Week menu was excellent. "

It was a fabulous evening, food

Dined on 5/31/2014
If you are looking for good food
with good service, Jake's is a place you will enjoy. Although the inside seating tends to be a little close quarters, the food was very good. The servers are extremely friendly as well and very efficient at their jobs."
Dined on 5/31/2014
This is the first time trying
Jake's and were very impressed. The food was great. Great deserts!"
Dined on 5/31/2014
Waitress we had was not very much
help with gluten free choices, telling me that anything without bread would be gluten free as the restaurant leans that way anyways. Ordered the Scallops which came on a breaded and fried potato thing. She was very sorry. Even though I asked about gluten free options on the restaurant week3 course menu first thing, she did not inform us that there were NO gluten free options for dessert course on the menu. So, dessert time.... and NOTHING for me. The waitress was very sorry. Still love the place, but I will have to work harder to get the information I really need to avoid gluten at Jake's and not count on a dessert from their amazing selection."
Dined on 5/31/2014
Food = Delicious! Waiter=
wonderful! Great place to celebrate a birthday w/ small group for intimate dinner! Love those scallops, cooked to perfection! This is my new fav restaurant for when we come to Palm Springs! Some of us all the way from Australia!"

BEFORE THE RAIN OF STEEL Warsaw's beautiful opera house which stood opposite the capital's City Hall was both bombed and shelled during the siege of the city. Today it lies practically in ruins. FILMING THE BLITZKRIEG By HARRISON FORMAN Photographs by the author Harrison Forman has an uncanny ability to be on the scene when trouble breaks out. In 1937 when bombs rained on Shanghai, he sent the first newsreel pictures of that event to the United States. In September of this year he secured another world scoop when he sent from Warsaw the first war films taken on the Polish side. In the following article he describes some of his experiences during those days when Poland fought so desperately to defend her independence. Editorial Note. TEN years in the Orient. Ten turbulent years they were. Wars, famines, floods. I was getting tired of all that. "This year," I told my friends. "I'm going to some other part of the world, to South America, or Europe perhaps." "South America's all right," they agreed. "But not Europe. There's a war brewing there." "War in Europe ? No. Just war talk. 'Plenty walla-walla,' the Chinese say, 'nothing happens.' There'll be no war in A DIRECT HIT A five-hundred pound air bomb made a direct hit on this four-story model workers apartment house, almost completely destroying it. The twisted lacings of steel strips used to reinforce the concrete indicate the tremendous explosive effect of the bomb. Gdynia America Line. Europe. Another crisis, perhaps. But no war." I was so sure of it that I decided to back my own convictions and went to Europe. Well, I was wrong! War not only came, but it burst right over my very head! After a stop for a short visit in France, Germany and Poland, I went on to Moscow. A month in the Soviet, filming and gathering material for writings and lectures, and then I decided to go back to Poland. I had been much intrigued with Warsaw. It was a beautiful city. Life there seemed so easy-going, so calm and peaceful. Fine old buildings symbolized dignity and respectful reserve. It was a city of parks and fountains with an Opera House famous the world over; a city of wide, shaded boulevards on which modern motor taxis were less numerous than horse-and- buggy cabs—which unhurried Warsovians seemed to prefer. A peaceful setting, indeed. Headlines might shriek in the world's press of a second world war opening with a horrible air attack on Warsaw. But they certainly seemed to take little notice of all that here. Few people, if any indeed, talked much about imminent war. Not that they were afraid to talk about it. You were sure they meant it when they did say they would fight, and fight to the bitter end, if it ever came to a showdown. But the Poles were too busy living to be bothered much about 19 war talk. That was left to the world outside. Yes, a peaceful scene, Warsaw in late August. A quiet, dignified scene, unmoved by the screaming invectives of a madman next door. But one day, the madman broke his bonds and without warning stormed in upon this peaceful scene, and literally went berserk. It was war! I thought I had seen war, modern war, in perhaps one of its most horrible phases. That was in Shanghai, a little over two years ago. A single aerial bomb had killed hundreds of innocent refugee men, women and children. It was a gruesome, never- to-be-forgotten sight. Unbelievable, if you hadn't seen it in the newsreels. But in Warsaw I saw something that, to me at least, was much more horrible than the spectacles I filmed in China. It was the day of the first air raid—the morning of September first. The siren shrieked its alarm, and the streets quickly cleared. Men, women and children scampered for shelter in the buildings, trenches and bomb-proof cellars. Like frightened mice, they ran in all directions until they found some place which offered a haven from the sudden death about to be rained down from the cloudless skies. And then I saw her, a young mother frantically tearing at the harness clamps in the baby's carriage—a carriage too large to be taken into the dugout. I dashed down the street to help. By the time I got there she had already abandoned hope of unsnarling the harness, and was trying to fit a gas mask over the wailing youngster's face. She was nearly hysterical by the time I had cut the straps so that she could seize the child and run for shelter. The Germans didn't use gas in their air raids on Warsaw. But they used something almost as bad—terror. And used it in liberal and deliberate doses. It was bad enough for air raid alarms to go off an hour or more before the planes appeared, so that people nearly went mad in their cramped, ill-ventilated holes, waiting, waiting. But when the roar of the planes overhead finally was heard, there was the agonizing wait for the bombs. And you breathed a silent prayer with every exploding boom, for you knew that was one that missed you. It seemed the German airmen knew of this nerve-trying wait, and we were all certain they deliberately circled around and around the city and held off their bombing until the very last possible moment—when Polish anti-aircraft shells came a bit too thick and fast. Apparently they had a sadistic streak running through the whole lot of them, those German pilots. Else how will you explain the diving down and machine- gunning of farmers in the fields, cows in the meadows, horses and wagons on the road, people in the streets? Scarcely a town or village in all Poland, no matter how big or small, escaped them. A bomb or two here, a spree of machine-gunning there— just enough to spread terror the length and breadth of the land. To be sure, one may expect and accept A TRIBUTE FROM POLISH-AMERICANS Ju'st a few days before war broke out on September 1, the Polish-American Society presented the Polish government and President Moscicki with an American flag and the flag of each of the forty-eight states of the Union. After the formal presentation by Ambassador Biddle, an honor guard of picked troops paraded these flags through the streets of Warsaw to the tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Get ready to see more construction signs Cedar Rapids. The City is making plans to start spending the money it will receive in sales tax, thanks to voters saying yes on Tuesday.
"We're thrilled that the Local Option Sales Tax passed," said Sandi Fowler, Assistant City Manager. "We're excited to fix the streets of Cedar Rapids, and we're ready to get started on that."
The one percent sales tax for road repairs begins July 1, 2014, and the city will get its first check in the fall. Officials hope to start construction before that.
"We would like not to lose next construction season, lose the opportunity to get in and get started on getting those streets fixed," said David Elgin, Public Works Director and City Engineer.
The city already has a list of the streets with high traffic that need improvement. Now they're working on researching streets in residential areas.
"Obviously the condition of the streets plays a major factor," said Elgin. "We also look at accident history, we look at the traffic volumes, we look at the amount of utilities that are under the streets, we look at the neighborhoods that the streets are in and the needs of the neighborhood."
Residential streets are what the city hopes to use lost money to fix.
"We really want to get to those residential streets right away," Assistant City Manager Sandi Fowler said.
The public works department will evaluate those residential roads and come up with a priority list. Then it will go through committees and ultimately the city council for budget approval.
The Cedar Rapids Metro Local Option Sales Tax will also be in place in Fairfax, Hiawatha, Marion, and Robins. Each city has its own plans for the money it receives. Most are planning on street and infrastructure improvements.
Voters in Black Hawk County also approved a Local Option Sales Tax ballot measure Tuesday night. It's an extension of the tax currently in place---and will stay in place through 2025.

In between hiking, rock wall climbing and crafts, kids talk about their loss and share memories. Led by licensed grief therapists, they learn coping skills. The camps, at several sites around the country, also give these children a place to go where they don't feel different and they can just be a kid again.
Camp sessions are free to all families, no matter their background, says Hughes. "The kids start talking about having bad dreams and help each other through that," she says. "Death is a great equalizer; they're speaking the same language."

text: I bought the car used (courtesy car with 7000 miles on it) for $17,000; same car brand-new was $21,000. Current trade in value on said car is....$17,000. So, had I bought it new, I would have been down $4000 now, not counting interest paid on the loan I would have taken out for that amount, as I had $17K (with trade-in) but not $21K. My plan was to drive the car until I died or it did, but I am thinking of selling it and getting something smaller and more fuel efficient. I want a Prius, but damn, they are expensive. This just so does not compute for me. Money is always an issue. If I were to win the world's biggest lottery and have millions to fritter away, I would still consider money an issue.
