The funds, which are being released through the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program (ATRIP), will allow for resurfacing projects on Airport Road, Old Birmingham Highway and 9th Avenue.
"This is big news for us," Posey said. "We've lobbied and begged for this funding. We've visited the ALDOT (Alabama Department of Transportation) headquarters numerous times. We put in a lot of work on this, and we are thankful these funds have been approved for us."
Keith Strickland, municipal department manager for Goodwyn-Mills-Cawood, spoke to members of the Jasper City Council Tuesday about the ATRIP funds.
"This is excellent, excellent news for the City of Jasper," Strickland said.
The 9th Avenue project will resurface that street from Highway 5 to 18th Street in downtown Jasper. The total coast of the project will be $327,762. Strickland said the project could be finished before the end of the year.
The Old Birmingham Highway project will resurface that roadway and total funding will be $729,656. Strickland said the resurfacing effort could be finished by the end of the year.
Strickland said the Airport Road project is something city officials have been working on for years. He said money had been previously earmarked for Airport Road, but the earmark for the second phase of that roadway was lost late last year.
"The money for Phase 1 —which is the (Highway) 78 intersection — is still good and will hopefully let this year," Strickland said. "Last year, the state pulled earmarks if the project had not reached a certain level. We were allowed to submit Airport Road Phase 2 as an ATRIP project, and we went for everything. This will be a three-lane road at least through Ridgewood with all the turning lanes and intersections. It is a magnificent project."
The Airport Road Phase 2 project's total funding will be $4,458,958.25. Strickland said the Airport Road project will not begin until 2014.
Jasper also received ATRIP funding for Walston Bridge Road in 2012. That project is in its design stage, but Strickland said he expected resurfacing would begin by the summer.
"On Walston Bridge Road, we've had to make several changes," Strickland said. "Those changes will have to be approved by ALDOT before we move forward."
Strickland said he expects the total funding on the Walston Bridge project to be around $2.5 million.
All ATRIP projects are funded 80 percent by the state and 20 percent by the local government.
Another round of ATRIP funding is expected later this year. Strickland said the deadline to enter projects is May.
"I have a feeling this will be the last round," he told council members. "I encourage you to put together a good list and go after some more funding and take advantage of the 80 percent."
Jasper Public Works Director Joe Matthews said 3rd Avenue and Viking Drive are two possible projects being considered for the next round of ATRIP funding.
"We are trying to take care of our main roads," he said. "If we can get all of them done, we can then start working on the other areas of the city. This funding could allow us to have all our roads resurfaced in the next four to five years."

PLATTSBURGH — Ever since Congressman Paul Ryan was selected as Mitt Romney's running mate on the Republican presidential ticket, his controversial stance on Medicare has been grabbing headlines.
The issue has spilled over into other races, including the contest for the 21st Congressional District in the North Country.
Incumbent Democrat Bill Owens has been pressuring challenger Republican Matt Doheny for the past few weeks to come out with his platform on how the expensive Medicare program should be handled.
Doheny answered the call this week with a detailed presentation on Medicare, which Owens promptly criticized.
Doheny's plan calls for six main ideas that he believes will make the program better.
One of them calls for allowing private companies into the system.
"Medicare should welcome competition, just like the program that members of Congress use for their benefits," Doheny said in his statement.
"Market forces have been proven to constrain costs. To participate, private plans would have to meet or exceed benefits offered through traditional Medicare, and plans should not be able to deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions."
Doheny went on to say that the federal government should pay insurers directly in all instances.
"This is not a voucher program," he said.
But Owens said it sounds very much like the voucher program that Congressman Ryan supports.
"He is saying it is not a voucher program, but it is a distinction without a difference," Owens said.
"The government can give a senior a voucher to buy insurance on the private market, or it can pay the private insurer directly. Either way, it's privatization, and it ends the Medicare guarantee."
Owens said privatizing the program is not the way.
"My opponent wants to turn Medicare into subsidized private insurance," he said. "Paul Ryan and Matt Doheny have their priorities wrong. We need to strengthen Medicare and reduce costs to ensure better outcomes."

I am looking for some new cold weather food recipes for post golf.
I have some success with a couple of new recipes this Fall.
Chicken noodle soup
Spicey cheese and sausage grits
Peach cobbler
Does anyone have an old standby that I should try?
A nice homemade stew is always nice post round.
Chili is the best thing for cold weather. I used to live in the mountains of CO, and every year we would have a chili cook off in the beginning of December. Winner got their ingredients paid, a case of cold ones, the Golden Spoon (a wood spoon spray painted gold) and bragging right. I've got some amazing recopies if you're interested I can PM you.
I was always a judge so I feel like I was most likely the real winner each year.
Since we're in the spirit of sharing... tell me a little bit more about those Spicy Cheese and Sausage grits...
"Portuguese Sausage and Kale soup!"
Ham hocks or smoked pork neck bones are fantastic in it (cook it to tender)
It has been a long while since we've had some good Portuguese sausages. It isn't easy to find. Please share if you know where we can order some. A friend used to bring them in from the Boston area.
Thank you.
I have a beef stew recipe where I grill up the meat, then braise it with garlic and oil. Once cooked I simmer the whole thing in water for several hours until the meat is like butter. Then I add the veggies and simmer till done. It's awesome with a pretzel roll!
I also have a chili recipe like Josh mentioned.
Makes a cold day on the links melt away!
Chicken Tortilla Soup is a favorite of mine.
Chicken and Dumplings
Potato Soup

Thank you.
I live in the part of the country that was the general region where Portuguese immigrants settled - Lots of people of Portuguese descent here on Cape Cod as well are nearby cities of Fall River and New Bedford.
Here are a couple of the better known purveyors of Portuguese food stuffs:
https://www.amaralsmarket.com/products-page/meats/ Great stuff!
http://www.gasparssausage.com/ This brand is found in all the local markets in the area where I live...Try the Portuguese muffins as well - The POrtuguese equivalent to the English muffin.
LOVE chili! Shoot over some recipes Josh!! In the meanwhile, follow the link to a report about the 2013 chili festival on Martha's Vineyard a few miles away from my location on Cape Cod. Strategically held in the middle of January when folks are coming down from the highs of the holiday season and the cold has set in, this chili contest and party rocks the island! It is becoming a destination party and the chili sampling isn't a ad way to spend a Saturday - In fact, it is a darn nice way to spend a cold dark day in the middle of New England winter!
Jack Daniels Soup
I was leaning chili except in Texas every day is a good day for chili.
I have my moms chicken and noodles recipe, and it is killer. Have a couple of her soup recipes, but I have yet to try them.
I like chili, potato soup, or broccoli cheese soup on cold days to help thaw and warm up. Might have to make a pot of soup this weekend since it is gonna stay cold in these parts.
Clam Chaddoh..
Love chicken tortilla soup, too. Or put a beef roast or pork butt in the crock pot with the appropriate seasonings to get the added bonus of opening the door to wonderful aromas!
TNT009Clam Chaddoh..
Could not live without my Claim Chowder as well. Throw in some oyster crackers and I am a happy camper.

UNI's Hot-Shooting Too Much For Lady Bears In 75-52 Loss
Information from edited news release . . .
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- Northern Iowa hit eleven 3-pointers in the first half and 15 for the game in a 75-52 victory over the visiting Missouri State Lady Bears Thursday evening in Missouri Valley Conference action at the McLeod Center in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
The Lady Bears fell to 8-6 overall and 0-2 in league play, while UNI is 7-8 and 2-1 in Valley contests. MSU also lost at Wichita State and UNI early in the league schedule last season before rebounding to win the regular season title.
The game's first 12 minutes could not have gone much worse for the Lady Bears as UNI built a 29-12 lead with seven made 3-pointers by the 7:58 mark, while Missouri State was 4-for-14 from the floor with 11 turnovers at that point and had senior Christiana Shorter on the bench saddled with three personal fouls.
Missouri State used a 7-0 run to pull to 29-19 with 4:58 to play, and briefly cut the UNI lead to single digits at 32-23 when NiJay Gaines put back a missed free with 3:42 left in the half.
The Panthers responded with their ninth, 10th and 11th 3-pointers to go into halftime with a 41-23 advantage, shooting 11-for-20 from the beyond the arc to match an MSU opponent high for the season by intermission.
The second half began much better for MSU as the Lady Bears shaved five points off the UNI lead while drawing three fouls in the first 43 seconds for a 41-28 score. Missouri State's success was short-lived, however, as the Panthers ripped off a 14-2 run over the next five-plus minutes while the Lady Bears suffered through an 0-for-7 field goal drought to go ahead 55-30 with 13:54 to play.
The Lady Bears got no closer than 21 points after that as the Panthers finished the contest 15-for-26 from 3-point land to tie a Missouri State opponent single-game record. UNI shot 44.9 percent overall (22-49), while MSU finished 17-of-61 for 27.9 percent.
Whitney Edie led MSU with 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting while Kenzie Williams and Hannah Wilkerson scored nine apiece. Shorter was held scoreless for the first time in her 112 game career.
UNI's Jacqui Kalin, the 2011 MVC Player of the Year, totaled 25 points and hit six treys for the Panthers.
MSU continues its road trip Saturday at 2 p.m. against Bradley. The Braves are 6-8 overall and 0-3 in MVC play after a 62-58 home loss to Wichita State Thursday.

Less than a year after Hostess Brands went bankrupt, leaving thousands of people across the country unemployed, Twinkies are set to return to the shelves July 15.
The new owners have re-opened the Dolly Madison Bakery in Columbus for production. On Monday afternoon, the parking lot was nearly full. Last year, Columbus saw around 400 people laid off, but now dozens of those same people have been rehired.
"Oh it feels good to be back on the clock... back at work," says Erma Blackmon, who started back May 20.
For 32 years Blackmon has been working at the plant doing production and packing. She said those six months out of a job were not easy, but neither was getting her job back. She was one of hundreds that turned out for a job fair at the Georgia Department of Labor.
"I was there at 5:30 that morning and stood in a long line," she says. "I was the 13th person that went in the door."
Earlier this year the new company said they had initial plans to hire 200 employees with plans to expand when demand increased. Other workers started back June 20 and have been busy preparing snack cakes that shipped July 5.
Twinkies will have a longer shelf-life when they return. Instead of lasting 26 days they'll keep for 45.

VIDEO: Tech buses blocked hours before vote on bus stop fees
Two tech buses were surrounded and blockaded by over 100 protesters earlier today, just hours before the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors is set to vote on fees for private shuttle use of public bus stops.
The protest was organized by Heart of the City, an alliance of many long time housing advocacy groups. The marchers met at UN Plaza at at 8:30am, then proceeded to Market and 8th, where they stopped the two buses that many identified as Facebook and Google buses, based on their destination signs.
"The corporation that is employing this bus is responsible for the displacement of San Francisco tenants," said Erin McElroy, the head of the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project, to the crowd. "And we're not going to stand for that for that one more minute."
In case you're living under a rock... BREAKING protesters stop 2 tech buses just before SFMTA vote on bus fees pic.twitter.com/cHFeTI6ljP
— Joe Fitz Rodriguez (@FitzTheReporter) January 21, 2014
Techies on their buses worked on their laptops as the protesters swarmed around them. One tech worker even took a quick break to taunt activist and protester Tony Robles (as Robles waves a sign) from the window of his bus. It's in the video below.
The SFMTA's today will vote on a pilot program that would charge private shuttles $1 per stop, per day for use of public bus stops, which are used by Muni. Mayor Ed Lee, SFMTA head Ed Reiskin and others have claimed that this falls in line with Proposition 218, which limits fees and taxes that municipalities can levy without going to the voters.
But that's is murky rationale for a number of reasons, as the SFMTA said that enforcement would be carried out by off-duty (overtime drawing) enforcement officers, and the idea of those officers overtime fees being fully paid by the $100,000 a year contributions of tech companies is questionable.
Equally questionable, the protesters said, is the idea that Google, Facebook, Genentech, Yahoo, and others would only pay about $100,000 a year for their private shuttles to use bus stops created for and maintained by a taxpayer-funded public transit system.
Though the mayor and Google have reiterated the talking point that the shuttles take cars off the road, they also delay the already slowdown-plagued Muni system and push pedestrians onto dangerous streets as Muni jockeys for space with the private shuttles.
By 9:30, the SFPD arrived on the scene of the protest and blocked off the entrance to 8th street from Market. Shortly after, the protesters dispersed and continued marching to a Realtor's office, and finally City Hall. There were nearly 30 reporters at the bus blockade, but by the time the protesters reached City Hall, there were only a handful left.

Stopping people getting to work is not going to achieve anything. I expect SFMTA will approve the deal and that will be it.
They are now trying to intimidate specific Google employees:
At 7am this morning, a group of people went to the home of Anthony Levandowski, a Google X developer. His house is a pompous, minimally decorated two story palace with stone lions guarding the door. After ringing his doorbell to alert him of the protest, a banner was held in front of his house that read "Google's Future Stops Here" and fliers about him were distributed around the neighborhood. The fliers detailed his work with the defense industry and his plans to develop luxury condos in Berkeley. The flier is attached below.
last driveway they ever block
This ain't Texas, try that here you'll be in a place where soap dropping will get you in trouble, and I bet you'd find the racial climate of the CDC equally heartwarming.
a vehicle hits you. You are relying on the good nature of the driver.
Tough guy. Probably don't even have a driveway.
"Oops, was that a protester lying down in the street?. I never saw him, officer".
Someone necessarily help to make significantly posts I would state.
That is the very first time I frequented your web page and thuus far?
I surprisrd with the research you made to create this actual publish
amazing.Great activity!
artist Tony Robles was the one doing the taunting
what a freakin' joke this whole thing has become
keep fanning the flames JFR! keep turning off more and more voters! "Progressive" candidates can get stomped in more and more elections. You'd have think Team Progressive would have learned something after the last time they got their asses handed to them
Well yeah, the video (at about 1:55) does clearly show that the guy on the bus was ignoring the protesters until Robles starting waving a big yellow sign directly in his face.
But it doesn't come in the video until 1:55 and many people won't even click on the video so I think that we are fine to say that it was the Google guy who did the taunting.
I say stay with it since most people won't click through to see that it isn't true.
Keep up the great work SFBG!!!!
Re: "they also delay the already slowdown-plagued Muni system and push pedestrians onto dangerous streets as Muni jockeys for space with the private shuttles."
FWIW, part of the deal to allow use of the bus stops requires the private companies to avoid certain bus stops altogether and to yield to Muni buses if they arrive.
But it makes a good story to say that pedestrians are being pushed into dangerous streets so, lets go with it!!!! Love the imagery!
Great work!
... this is a vine video of Muni riders stepping out onto Park Presidio, one of the busier streets in San Francisco, to get between two tech shuttles. https://vine.co/v/btvAE6AvQ0Z
It's certainly not the only time Muni riders were pushed aside by tech buses. Sometimes it's not so bad, sometimes it's dangerous.
But you only focus on those that carry people you ideologically are opposed to.
And that is why you are so dishonest and unprincipled and biased here.
... sure lots of vehicles cause problems in the city: bicyclists who haven't yet learned the rules of the road, skateboarders who skate where they're not allowed, all sorts of folks.... but the corporate shuttles are the only ones under vote by the SFMTA today, which is why we're writing about them. And yes, there are other corporate shuttles, but even hospital shuttles have specifically built places to pick up passengers at the hospitals. Golden Gate Transit, a seperate entity from Muni, has an agreement for partnered use of bus stops, much like people are asking for from the corporations that use private shuttles.
I thought that was obvious?
talking about the shuttles?
You're now an advocate who's cheerleading one side and a propagandist who's condemning the other. You're a disgrace and while you may be able to wring a bit of additional mileage out of this issue, as the vote today shows - you have nothing to show for your advocacy other than defeat after defeat after defeat.
Fuck. You.
It seeks to over-ride the democratic majority and instead impose it's own extremist agenda.
...two days ago, SF Mag Web Editor Scott Lucas and I had a pretty productive discussion via Twitter about the Ellis Act and one of his web posts. We had a lot of disagreements, but I think we talked through them civililly and respectfully.
Usually I try to stay out of the trolling, and I can understand you disagreeing with the way we approach journalism, but the personal attacks are just not cool. These are policy issues, so stick to critiques of the policy, and the writing.
right there is your bias. Why didn't you say "Ask the SFAA"?
... no such thing as "no bias." This "you have a bias!" shouting is silly. There is only a difference between obvious viewpoints (which we prefer to be honest and brazen about) and disguised bias, which is what "objective" journalism is. Every day in crafting an article, you highlight certain viewpoints and ignore others, prioritize some information higher in your articles or lower, and ignore some viewpoints entirely. "Objective" journalism is just journalism that tries to sound neutral, while castrating efforts to come to the truth of a matter. Some are further along that spectrum than others. Some topics are more technical and easier to sound "objective" about, where as some policy discussions are harder to discern, with studies and policy debates on both sides with seemingly equal validity. That's when you have to choose which hard facts you highlight based on your research and your interviews, and even that process is a biased process, in the end. Every time someone shouts "there's a bias!" I roll my eyes, because anything anyone has written in any newspaper is rife with bias. It's a silly argument.
SFTU and the SFAA, and then done the very best job they could of distilling their differing viewpoints into a balanced report.
You talked to SFTU but not SFAA, because you already knew how you wanted to frame this story, and that was a clear intent to prejudicially show one side of the story as somehow having more merit than the other, based on nothing more than your ideology
.... have fun with objectivity
objective ones.
Mayor Lee and the city bureaucracy have made it very clear through their actions on housing and transportation issues that the powerful corporations and their wealthier employees are the future of San Francisco. Some laggards still remain in SF who don't either work at local corporations in a high-paying position or work at one their many service providers like law firms or financial consultants. These laggards will be gone from the city soon enough. A tenant has to know by now that their current rental apartment is worth close to $1 million or more. That's too much wasted money on the table for low income tenants to think they can squat in a rental unit that's worth much more than its current rent stream.
175,000 rent-controlled units times $500,000 profit when sold as TICs to high-income workers is worth at least $87,500,000,000. That's money just laying on thee ground waiting to be picked up by an intrepid speculator. The $85+ billion estimate is a minimum since there are some choice rental units in the Haight, Castro, Inner Sunset, Marina, Dolores Heights, and North Beach where the profit will be way over $1,000,000 per unit. A 10-unit building at $1 million profit per unit is a very nice payday.
Many tenants voted for Ed Lee, notwithstanding his blatent lie that he would be a caretaker mayor only until the next election. Maybe the voters will pay more attention to their vote next time, athough I've yet to hear a credible candiate's name to challenge Mayor Lee's unspoken agenda to cleanse the city of lower and middle-income tenants.
Let's fire up the Ellis evictions and get this party moving!!
It's most helpful and revealing that you've honestly expressed what used to be an unspoken agenda wrapped in dishonesty and denial (i.e. "we don't want that" and "no, we're not trying to do that...why would you think that?"). But now, you and people like you don't even try to hide the agenda/your agenda anymore.
Bad law has created a massive arbitrage opportunity.
Tenants who pay a reasonable rent do not get Ellis'ed. Ellis is really God's way of letting a tenant know that he has had too good a deal for too long.
Is there any way that you can re-republish that Vine? It says right on it "286 days ago" which was long before the agreement on bus stops.
Can you possibly just submit it to Vine again so that we can more easily say that it is indicative of the current situation?
Keep up the great work!!!!!!
Like with Uber, it's only a matter of time until somebody forced into the intersection to get around Google buses gets hit by a car or bike and put in the hospital.
But you want to focus only on vehicles representing businesses that you personally do not like.
Fastidious response in return of this mastter with real arguments and explaining everything
on the topic of that.
OMG. Did you watch the public comments? It was like fighting against an infestation of prosperity destroying parasites.
these losers. Bleating about wanting handouts and subsidies for the rest of their lives, and never thinking that maybe they could invest effort in their careers.
The Muni driver broke the law by not waiting behind the shuttles. The Muni driver alone is responsible for putting riders at risk. Shuttles are a small problem that makes good press for the whiners who seem to make up a large % of residents of our fair city.
SFBG each day? Merely because I disagree with your politics?
I assume you would respect that, right?
Watching how quickly Ed Lee, various tech companies, and comment trolls have come out in fighting stance to support tech buses shows just what a winning issue protestors have stumbled on.
When 40% of bus riders admit to being willing to move out of the city if they didn't have their buses, it's shown the real weak point behind Ed Lee's support system. If the buses are gone, gentrification will slow down enormously.
Why do you want these workers to leave? Prejudice?
that 40% number isn't accurate, and this isn't the first misinformation you've posted on this topic. can we at least have an honest debate?
and, for the record, the only thing in the world worse than a drum solo, is a bass solo.
The corporate buses make it very easy to displace local residents. Co-workers start talking about how much money they made on their TIC and eveyone else at their company wants to get in on the action. More evictions, more TICs, more Silicon Valley employees in the city and more evictions.
But remember, many tenants voted for Ed Lee. Whether they'lll still be around in 2015 to vote against him is another matter since TIC conversions continue briskly and displaced tenants will be strewn to the wind far from the shores of SF when the eviction notice finally comes. Waking up each day and wondering if the eviciton notice will be in the afternoon mail is not the best way to start each morning.
I give rent control no more than 15 years.
The very same protesters are the people behind the neighborhood blight
They do nothing for their own local neighborhoods except to contribute to the blight !
and then blame everyone else for having jobs they could never have because it requires you to actually work and participate and not whine about life, work at deadend jobs and sit in Dolores park all day being stoned Why not protest school buses
and the Academy of Art shuttles, or the Senior Shuttles
no voluntary work, no charitable donations, just whining.
I actually want to know how many of these protesters actually LIVE in San Francisco. Remember the activist who made the fake video about the Google employee? He lives, and works, in Oakland. Nudist activist Gypsy Taub? Lives, and doesn't work, in Berkeley. Why don't they protest in front of Google? Or Apple? Cause they know other cities won't tolerate their bullshit. Well, that and they'd look pretty hypocritical Tweeting and Googling on their IPhones, Chromebooks, and IPads.
Cost the City over 10,000 affordable entry level rentals and flooded the streets with buses and shuttles- and no one was outraged at all. The loss of working class entry level housing undermined the City and created the foundation of the current crisis. No one is protesting the million dollar classic cars displayed on Van Ness that were purchased renting out dorm beds to AArt students. Google workers did not create the housing crisis in SF- failure of San Franciscans to protect and invest in their own housing is a much bigger factor.
cheap as dirt.
It's not anymore. And i've lived in this city for decades, since 1981 non-stop, and before that sometimes. I have a life here, not in Oakland. Let the newcomers move there, if they prefer it. They have no roots in my city.
It's a real option for people like you who lack the fiscal power to live in the world's favorite city.
the equivalent SF number, around $3,200:

+ Key Club appeal date set for Sept. 17
Town Attorney David Persson has decided the Zoning Board of Adjustment has jurisdiction over The Longboat Key Club and Resort's Islandside renovation project's appeal.
The zoning board, Persson said, will hear the appeal at its 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 17 regular meeting.
The Longboat Key Association, which owns Longboat Club Road, appealed Planning, Zoning and Building Director Monica Simpson's decision to deem the Islandside application complete earlier this month.
Persson said the zoning board would decide at the meeting, once and for all, whether the association has to sign the application because curb cuts need to be performed on Longboat Club Road.
Meanwhile, town staff is moving forward with coordinating a date and finding a suitable location for the Planning and Zoning Board's October public hearing on the proposed $400 million project.
+ Publix discussions get underway
Town Manager Bruce St. Denis, Planning, Zoning and Building Director Monica Simpson and Commissioner Jim Brown met with Lakeland-based Publix Super Markets Inc. officials Friday, Aug. 21 to discuss potential plans for Avenue of the Flowers.
Publix spokesperson Shannon Patten said there is no news to report yet on plans for the plaza.
"We are still evaluating plans and exploring our options for the plaza," Patten said.
In the meantime, Publix has begun advertising spaces for lease in the existing plaza.
+ Commission addresses projects
The Longboat Key Town Commission will discuss the 2009-10 fiscal-year budget and two water-and-wastewater projects at two consecutive meetings starting at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 27, at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road.
After a budget discussion, the commission will consider approving a $2.1 million contractor bid that will pay for a project to upgrade town water lines along Gulf of Mexico Drive from Bay Isles Road to the south end of the Key starting in October.
The town will use part of its $7 million state revolving-fund loan, also known as an SRF loan, to fund the project. The SRF loan has a 2.82% interest rate.
Public Works Director Juan Florensa said the bid is lower than the anticipated $4 million that staff originally expected the project would cost.
The project is expected to take at least 18 months to complete.

Contact: Peg Cruikshank, 581-1228; George Manlove, 581-3756
ORONO — The title of her newly revised anthology, Fierce with Reality: An Anthology of Literature on Aging, embodies the paradoxes that come with the consideration of aging for Margaret "Peg" Cruikshank, author and lecturer in women's studies at UMaine.
So does the frustration Cruikshank feels when doctors or others address the 66-year-old skier, hiker and kayaker from Corea, near Gouldsboro, as "young lady." However innocent, the greeting is categorization all too common and subtly offensive to people who are, indeed, proud of their age.
"What about all my other identities?" asks Cruikshank. "Identifies are like a mobile in relation to one another."
For millions of older people entering an age of new realities, spirits are high, health is good, and patronizing cliches to raise the spirits of the aging are unnecessary, even "toxic" to a woman's psyche, says Cruikshank, who holds a master's degree in gerontology, a doctorate in English and is a faculty associate with the Maine Center on Aging at the university..
Fierce with Reality,
originally published in 1995, is a new collection of essays, short stories, poetry and parables about the aging process as related by those of advancing years contemplating new realities and society's perceptions of them. It includes the writing of young Asian-American students in Cruikshank's English language classes from her days teaching at City College of San Francisco. They observed the isolation of many institutionalized elders.
A common perception about older people is disparaging: failing health, depression, stubborn, demented, Cruikshank writes. She hopes Fierce with Reality, published by Nancy Randolph of Just Write Books in Topsham, Maine, begins to dispel those myths. It is a particularly significant book in a state like Maine, with the largest demography of older people than any other state in the nation.
Cruikshank asks readers to consider "the dozens and dozens of interesting people who are vital and enjoy a good quality of life."
She believes the essay, "Who Says an Older Woman Can't/Shouldn't Dance?," reprinted in Fierce with Reality from author and Spelman College professor Gloria Wade-Gayles's book Rooted Against the Wind captures the theme of the anthology.
"It's a powerful piece," Cruikshank says.
The titles of Cruikshank's chapters suggest a revision of a common portrayal of an expanding generation being pushed aside by the world's infatuation with youth, wealth and beauty: "A Kaleidoscope of Images," "Homage to Grandmothers," "Strength and Wisdom," "Aging Is Not for Sissies," "Growth and Change," "Defiance & Self-Determination," "Loss," "Humor," "Ageism," "The Fountain of Youth: Two Asian Versions" and "Reflections."
Cruikshank sets the tone of the anthology with its title. "Fierce is never a quality you would ever associate with older people, so right here I was trying to break a stereotype," she says.
Fierce with Reality
includes works by celebrated authors, unknown authors, and men, women and the ethnically diverse. It also includes writers from Maine, including Lisa Asnis of Orono, a nontraditional student pursuing a master's degree at UMaine.
"I'm trying to raise consciousness about the differences in aging," Cruikshank says. The experience of aging for the poor is different from the wealthy, she says. It is different for black people, for Native Americans, for Asians and for those from the Middle East. Fierce with Reality provides a sampling of some of those experiences.
Considered appropriate reading for all audiences, including college courses of multiple disciplines, Fierce with Realty can be ordered through local bookstores, including BookMarcs Bookstore & Cafe in Bangor, Borders, Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Amzon.com and Just Write Books (www.jstwrite.com).
Cruikshank is the author of several other books, including Learning to be Old: Gender, Culture and Aging and Thomas Babington Macaulay. In addition to teaching women's studies courses, she also has taught courses on aging and women at City College of San Francisco.
She will present a public reading of Fierce with Reality at 6:30 p.m., April 25 at the Bangor Public Library, and in June, Cruikshank will appear with Anita Hill and Dolores Huerta in an AARP panel discussion on diversity and aging. She also intends to offer a course titled "Women and Aging" at UMaine in the fall.

Pakistan Presses On
by Shaun Appleby, Sat May 16, 2009 at 05:15:00 PM EDT
The military operations in Malakand against the Taliban continue, with a critical stage, the occupation of Mingora, likely to take place in the next few days, as reported after the briefing of parliamentarians from Pakistan's leading parties on Friday:
The leaders were briefed in camera by the COAS and the Director General of Operations, Maj-Gen Javed Iqbal, at PM's House and reassured that special care was being taken to avoid collateral damage and that a decisive advance had been made in Mingora and its suburbs.
The army officers said the city had been encircled from all sides and it would be cleared of militants very soon. The leaders were informed that militants were on the run after army's penetration into areas where troops had no access earlier.
They were also told that Fazlullah, believed to be the head of militant Taliban, was not in control of all the groups fighting in Malakand and that the militant groups were receiving money and arms through Waziristan and Afghanistan.
Ahmad Hassan - `Mingora besieged, to be secured soon' Dawn Media 16 May 09
As far as military strategies go it would appear that this is a sound one, given the numeric superiority but unwieldy nature of the army. Occupying the surrounding countryside before descending on Mingora is effective and a significant departure from the half-hearted efforts of years past.
But as we know the real challenge of 'complex wars' is political, not military, and in that respect the Pakistani civilian government seems to be achieving some success, both in uniting political factions behind this operation, at least for now, and mobilising public opinion against the Taliban as a matter of national sovereignty and security:
COAS General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani's in-camera briefing to the parliamentarians on the situation in Swat elicited a unanimous stand in favour of the military operation. This unity among the leadership on an issue of such great importance augurs well for the federation. The Taliban were using Swat as a base to spread their network to other parts of the country and carry out suicide attacks across the country. They were also advocating a way of life that was neither in accordance with the spirit of Islam nor the vision of the founding fathers of the country. The government's attempts to hammer out a negotiated settlement of the conflict had met with little success because the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan could not reconcile itself to the idea of accepting the writ of the state.
Editorial - In both camps The Nation (Pakistan) 16 May 09
It seems pretty clear that the task of wresting control of the NWFP and FATA from the Taliban is going to be a long and difficult one for Pakistan and any expectations of a sudden and dramatic improvement there is likely to be disappointed, especially considering that in Bajaur, apparently, the Taliban have reasserted their presence shortly after the winding down of the operations of the Frontier Corps in February. According to a disputed BBC analysis only 38% of this region is under the control of the Pakistani government and the very nature of the Taliban insurgency makes it difficult for the unwieldy Pakistani Army to effectively bring them to a decisive action, a tactical reality understood by British colonial generals well over a century ago.
However public opinion seems to be hardening against the Taliban's excesses in recent months and the military continues to loyally discharge it's constitutional role. Politically, everything hinges on the All-Parties Conference of the National Assembly, scheduled to be held in Islamabad on Monday. If the coalition factions, at least, remain united behind their leadership, such as it is, the recent geopolitical gamble by the Obama administration should perhaps be seen as a qualified success in response to a very difficult situation.

Jaap Sahib is the morning prayer of the Sikhs. The Prayer or Bani was composed by the tenth Sikh Master, Guru Gobind Singh. This Bani is one of 5 Banis that a Sikh must recite everyday and is recited by the Panj Pyare while preparing Amrit on the occasion of Amrit Sanchar (initiation), a ceremony held to admit initiates into the Khalsa. The Jaap Sahib is chronologically the first Bani (holy hymn of Guru) in the Dasam Granth, which is said to have been compiled by Bhai Mani Singh around the year 1734. The Jaap Sahib is reminiscent of Japji Sahib, and is chronologically recited at second, in the daily morning prayer of a Sikh.

Jaap Sahib is made up of 199 pauris or verses and is the first Bani of the Dasam Granth (p. 1-10). The Jaap Sahib begins with "Sri Mukhwakh Patshahi Dasvee", "By the holy mouth of the Tenth King". This appears to be a specific saying to authenticate the writings of Guru Gobind Singh himself.
Macauliffe says, "The Hindus have a work enitled Vishnu Sahasar Nam, 'Vishnu's Thousand Names.' The Jaapji was composed to supply the Sikhs with a similar number of epithets of the Creator."
Jap is a Sanskrit word meaning "to utter in a low voice, whisper, mutter (especially prayers or incantations); to invoke or call upon in a low voice". The form of the word here is Japu, which makes it a noun, "meditation".
The language of Jaap, is close to classical with words and compounds drawn from Sanskrit, Brij Bhasha, Arabic and Urdu. The contents of Jaap Sahib, are divided into various Chhands bearing the name of the related meter according to the then prevalent system of prosody in India.
Jaap Sahib is a total and complete introduction to a non-individual Creator, or Nature itself, or the Forces of Universe, or the Laws of Nature.
The verses are in the form of rhymed couplets and the vocabularly and ingenuity are superb. The opening verse is typical:
"Thou hast no form or feature, No caste or lineage; None can describe Thy appearance, Color, mark or garb."
There is an all inclusiveness and universalism that keeps coming to the surface. "All" seems to be the key word.
"Thou art the source of all light, And the object of all praise; Thou art the supreme Lord of all, And the moon of the Universe." -Verse 119
"Perfect is Thy discernment. All turn to Thee for refuge. Thou art the Great Companion; Thou art the sure Providence." -Verse 123
The fervour of the true Bhakta comes out in hailing the immortal as man's companion. Something of the devoutness of the Guru's nature comes to a climax in the concluding verse:
"Thou fillest and feedest the whole universe, Thyself self-existent, auspicious and united with all. Thou art the embodiment of mercy; Thou art the deliverer from birth and death. Thou art man's constant Companion. Everlasting is Thy glory!"
Among the thousand names there are seventy-five Muslim names. Only a few of these, such as Rahim and Karim, Razakai (Nourisher), Aruv (Pardoner), and Salamai (Peaceful) are among the Muslim's ninety-nine names of Allah: but all the names used would be familiar to Punjabi Muslims. The Muslim tongue and ear would surely delight in Allah and Nirsharik; Karimur Rahim; Husnul Chirag, Garibun Niwaz; Kamal Karim; Rajak Rahim; Bahistun Niwas; and many such others.
The immortal One is for Guru Gobind Singh sometimes the 'wholly Other,' far above human comprehension, before whom man can but bow again and again. As the succeeding waves of negative attributes roll on one may well wonder how there can be any communication with this inscrutable Being. The answer is, of course, that He of his grace has offered companionship to man, so that man does not have to understand, but only to accept and adore. Sikhism offers a new path of salvation in addition to the traditional paths of knowledge, work and devotion - the path of the Name, Naam. Meditation on the Name produces Wismad, wonder; and the object of such poetry as the Japp Sahib is the creation of the mood of aesthetic ecstasy: Sher Singh in the Philosophy of Sikhism writes: "It is the poetry and the music of the contents of the Granth revealing simple and direct truths which charm a reader of Gurbani ... and can bring peace to the soul." "It is the aesthetical insight leading man through appearance to reality." Meditation on the Name is fundamental to Sikhism, and so in this opening hymn of the Dasam Granth, men are given a thousand names on which to meditate.
Jaap Sahib is a rhythmic hymn composed like a necklace with pearls and gems beauteously arranged around a string: the string is the Supreme God; the pearls and gems are His attributes, excellence, and glories. In other words, Jaap Sahib is an introduction unto God. The glories sung by Guru Sahib revolve around the following attributes of God:
- God is metaphysical, beyond time, Eternal, Unborn, Uncreated, Self-existent, and withour form, feature, colour or contour. Therefore, neither can He be described or depicted, nor can anyone make His image or idol.
- God is Universally Pervasive in His manifestations. He cannot be confined to any particular place, land, country, religion, race, garb, body or name.
- God is the Creator of the Universe and the laws governing it. Never can anyone outside the ambit of these laws nor can anyone have the power to oppose them. His Law and Justice is Righteous and Ultimate.
- God is pervasive in His Creation and also extends beyond it; He is thus Immanent in His Creation and at the same time Transcends it.
- God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient; nothing, whether good or evil, can happen outside of His Will; He is the Creator-Sustainer-Annuller of His Creation. He Himself is the Life of life, the Death of death. He Himself is the Darkness of darkness, the Light of light.

Gonna do a few bullet points this morning cause I'm not feeling too creative:
- The Wolves have made three training camp invites official by signing Jeffers, Hummel, and Brown to contracts:
#Twolves today signed 2013 2nd-round pick Lorenzo Brown, 2012 2nd-round pick Robbie Hummel and free agent Othyus Jeffers.— Timberwolves PR (@Twolves_PR) September 26, 2013
- These are non-guaranteed contracts for the three guys who appear to be fighting for the 15th roster spot
- Ronny Turiaf has been all around town doing PR and charity stuff this week. He also threw out the first pitch at the Twins game Monday. Here is a reasonably amusing video of it.
- Get ready for the annual "He's in the best shape of his life stories to start:
Noticeably slimmer was @kevinlove. Hearing he is down to 238 lbs. Was around 243 during 2011-12 season, when he finished 6th in MVP voting.— Timberwolves PR (@Twolves_PR) September 23, 2013
- Media day is Monday, September 30th, followed by training camp the rest of the week in scenic Mankato. Tim will have it covered for us.
- The Lynx begin the Western Conference Finals tonight against the Phoenix Mercury, who upset the L.A. Sparks in the first round. The game starts at 8pm Central. I'll have a series preview/game thread up later. The game will air on ESPN2, and should be excellent basketball. Maya Moore and Diana Taurasi on the same court is always worth watching.

Horse meat in burgers "damages reputation of food industry"
Commenting on the discovery of horse meat found in supermarket burgers, NFU Scotland Communications Director Bob Carruth said:
Scottish farmers will continue to supply the food chain in the firm and justifiable belief that all meat that goes into a beef burger should be beef. Consumers expect no less. The undisclosed inclusion of horsemeat in some value beef burgers damages the reputation of our food industry and must prompt an immediate investigation of supply chains in place at home and abroad.
While assurances on the safety of the product have been provided,consumers buying such beef burgers have been seriously misled on the quality and provenance of their food.
– Bob Carruth, NFU Scotland
That is a spectacular own goal for parts of our food sector and doesn't reflect on the fantastic job being done by Scottish beef farmers in providing the market with fresh, tasty, traceable, assured beef.

we are happy to offer a limited number of copies of japanese edition of kyokas iSH. the japanese version comes on cd, contains a download coupon for a bonus track and was manufactured in japan by our partner p*dis / inpartmaint.
ununpentium (r-n 115) is the fifth release of raster-noton unun series. the name of the series derives from the greek atomic numbers of the chemical elements 111-119 in the periodic table.
kyoka – the first solo female artist on the raster-noton roster works as a musician and composer in berlin and tokyo. she has been releasing music since 2008 and is known for her chaotic, direct approach and a heavy-rough sound resulting in a broken pop-beat with experimental yet danceable rhythms. ish means "around", "like" or "about" and reflects her way to be clear by being vague – brightness wrapped in a blanket of obscurity and abstractness.
the ep was produced by her longtime friend frank bretschneider and a remix was delivered by atom™ to tune the first track hadue to the dancefloor. ryuichi sakamoto underlines the exceptional talent of kyoka: "panic! it sounds like a toy box turned up side down. how can she make such pretty & chaotic sounds!? i love it!"

Att 87, blues musician B.B. King is still a touring machine. If you ask one of his friends about where he lives these days, you'll get, "Well technically Las Vegas, but really he lives out on the road," as Robert Terrell explains. He's the director of entertainment at the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center in Indianola, Miss., not far from where the blues musician was born on a Delta cotton plantation.
"There's no one who knows the road better than B.B."
He used to do 300 shows a year, but now it's somewhere between 100 and 200.
Since he first picked up a guitar more than 70 years ago, King has outlived many of his early blues compatriots to solidify himself as one of the greatest living bluesmen and the only one with the nickname, "The King of the Blues." His signature song, "The Thrill is Gone," is a classic. And his influence on guitarists, from Eric Clapton to Jimi Hendrix, is indisputable.
These days, just as fellow bluesmen John Lee Hooker and Solomon Burke did in their latter years, King pulls up a seat on stage, saddled with his old girl, Lucille, his prized guitar, and sings the blues.
Reviews can be mixed. In March, a Chicago Sun-Times reviewer wrote, "The thrill is still there to be found, however intermittently." In June, a Michigan reviewer wrote, "He may not play a lot of notes, but they absolutely are meaningful."
Since King rarely does interviews any more, we talked with Terrell before the Delta bluesman arrives to close out the Rodney Strong Summer Concert Series this weekend on Sept. 1. He gave us insight into the man born Riley B. King:
Q: What are some of your favorite B.B. King stories?
A: Well, there are so many. I like the one about how he left the Delta. He was parking a tractor in the shed after being in the field all day and realized he'd broken the exhaust pipe on the tractor.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Josh Outman hopes his pitching career finally blossoms with the Colorado Rockies.
The left-hander is fully recovered from ligament replacement surgery that cost him nearly two years.
Outman was traded to the Rockies, his third organization in four years, from the Oakland Athletics and he's convinced this will be the year he will be able to pitch the way he did before the injury.
There's certainly an opportunity with the Rockies, a team with a bevy of young arms but not much experience outside of Jeremy Guthrie and, should he make the team, Jamie Moyer.

As a huge fan of Brock Lesnar, I was saddened by his departure from MMA. Of course, there was no reason for him to stay--he had already accomplished all there was to accomplish in mixed martial arts, and I can't fault the man for wanting to spend less time on top of Frank Mir, and more time on top of his wife. Still, one can't help but grieve for the missed potential. Lesnar, with his freak athleticism, was capable of so much, and he was bound to change the face of MMA. The day he retired for good, I hung my head and wept. That is, until I saw the following video.
Did you know that Brock Lesnar, legendary mixed martial artist, is also a professional wrestler?
I couldn't have been more excited when I saw this foootage. Though certain techniques from MMA, like the jab and the double leg takedown, are not allowed in wrestling, many of the most dangerous and spectacular moves remain. Better yet, the WWE allows some moves that the UFC won't even hear of.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the F-5.
Like small joint manipulation and the Dim Mak, F-5s are expressly banned under the Unified Rules of MMA, but in professional wrestling they're fair game, so it's no surprise that a man with Lesnar's fearsome reputation chose to make the F-5 his signature. This particular F-5 was one of his finest.
After a brutal back-and-forth war with popular wrestler C.M. Punk, in which both wrestlers fought for twenty five minutes straight despite gassing out minutes into the match, Lesnar finally managed to get the best of his foe. Punk is a great wrestler, but he lacks commitment: his back story, that he is only a mild-mannered Gracie Combatives salesman by day and a wrestler by night, indicate that he doesn't spend as much time in the gym as Lesnar. And if there's one thing Brock made himself known for in his MMA days, it was his flawless technique.
As with most finishers, the set-up is the most important part. First, Lesnar weakened Punk for his coup de grace by smashing him in the back with a folding chair while Punk was busy trying to tap out former manager Paul Heyman.
The chair is the wrestling equivalent of the jab, keeping the aggressor ahead on points and stifling his opponent's offense. Here, Lesnar uses a chair (this one a sleek, black model) to distract Punk while he gets his feet in position for the F-5. Note how Lesnar targets Punk's back, breaking down his posture and creating an opening for his attack.
Once Lesnar has weakened Punk with the chair, he makes a few more subtle adjustments before the big finish.
Lesnar takes Punk in a modified front headlock, grasping his throat with both hands and lifting him from the ground. Once Punk is in position, Lesnar makes brilliant use of eye contact to keep him distracted. As Punk meets Lesnar's sweaty, almost intimate gaze, he is defenseless to stop the big man from seizing wrist control.
Once Lesnar has Punk's wrist in his grip, it's a simple matter to transition to a fireman's carry. Note that Lesnar keeps perfect balance as he lifts Punk from the ground, keeping both feet well grounded and maintaining good posture. Once he has the fireman's carry, he deftly switches from wrist control to a modified collar tie. Now Lesnar carries Punk effortlessly across both shoulders. From this unenviable perch, there is little Punk can do but wait for the inevitable.
As the final stroke of genius, Lesnar utilizes the chair once again, positioning it in just the right spot so that Punk lands face-first on top of it, crushing his skull like so many cans of Coors Light. This is similar to a boxer using the jab to regain distance after a successful combination.
The entire match is excellent, but the finishing sequence really deserves to be watched in its entirety. Lesnar's execution is as perfect as it gets, and with it he proves that, though there was nothing more for him to achieve in the UFC, there are many more sports out there for the Beast to conquer yet.
