Glen Lyon of the University of the West of England draws our attention to a recent expert event in Britain looking critically at the evidence and debates surrounding 'peak car'. The article to which he draws our attention provides a detailed written account of a roundtable discussion on the topic which took place in London on 20 May 2014. Much needed, it is now available at: http://eprints.uwe.ac.uk/23277/. A summary follows.

KpVV/EcoPlan Survey: You, Carsharing & Local Government
Think you might wish to participate in a short collaborative survey in which we trying to improve our understanding of the relationship between carshare suppliers and local government in a cross-section of countries and environments? We are hoping to cover cities of a range of sizes, including both high performers and those as yet without much of a strategy. It will be important to cover both ends of the spectrum.

Dead End in Brazil? Interview with O Globo Brazil.
In the day before the opening of the World Cup in Brazil, where traffic chaos is expected to be the rule of the day (missed opportunities there?) this is a video transcript of a 20 November 2013 interview with Bolivar Torres, Brazilian journalist with O Globo, a leading Brazilian newspaper. His topic: Notably unsustainable transportation and trends in Brazilian cities — seen from an international perspective. What to do? How to move from today's failing and inconsistent ad hoc Old Mobility policies which are not getting at the roots of the problems? Perhaps toward a New Mobility Agenda? And what if anything could have been introduced in time to improve traffic and life quality conditions for all during the coming World Cup and Olympics?

Obligatory National Cycling License (A Modest Proposal)
World Streets, together with a number of our readers and supporters, including city cyclists and others working in the sector, have decided to take a public position on obligatory National Cycling Licenses. And that around the world the appropriate agencies and legislative groups, city by city and country by country, will step forward one at a time and when they are ready to pass into their law a requirement that certain road users must take and pass a rigorous National Cycling License examination.
Selected issues defining carsharing in your country
In the context of the ongoing World Carshare 2014 program, we have been asked by several considering authors to provide some context and perhaps indicate some issues or questions concerning matters that our readers might be interested to know more about in order to better understand the evolution of carsharing in their country.
Will the real cost of car ownership kindly stand up
Carsharing changes our relationship with the cars we owned and loved and hated over much of the century just behind us. And one of the points we hear from proponents again and again is that carsharing offers substantial savings, because the cost of owning a car has become much higher than in the past. Surely the cost of car ownership in the 21st century — and all that goes with it including direct and indirect costs, among them depreciation, insurance, petrol, maintenance, parking, etc., — is no light burden. But how expensive is it really? In this article, carsharing expert Dave Brook digs into the numbers and reflects on the true cost of ownership for most car owners in the United States.

XCars and Carsharing on World Streets: 2009 – 2014
xCARS: NEW WAYS OF OWNING AND USING CARS IN 21ST CENTURY.
The 2014 work program focuses on carsharing, but not limited to this one new form of car use. Coverage of different main forms: Traditional, One-way, P2P and private. Carsharing by its various names and different forms is one of the fastest-growing new ways of getting around in cities and outlying areas for day-to-day travel. Over the last decade it has increasingly proven itself to be an effective mobility option, serving thousands of cities on all continents.

World Carshare 2014: Policy/Strategies Program for Local Government
Carsharing has a brilliant, in many ways surprising and certainly very different future — a future which is already well in process. Carsharing is one of the fastest growing new mobility modes, with until now almost all services occurring in the high income countries. But it is by and large new, unfamiliar and does not fit well with the more traditional planning and policy structures at the level of the city. This is a problem. And addressing this problem is the goal of this cycle of reports and events in the year ahead.
World Carshare/Going Dutch: Open Library for collaborators

Transforming transport in Penang – and the earlier the better
Transport in Penang (and all around the world for that matter) relies on non-renewable sources of energy. Think 20 cars with one person in each vehicle, versus one bus with 20 passengers. The former creates traffic jams and worsens pollution to detract from the overall liveability of a city. It is often argued that supplying more roads only creates more demand for their usage. With 10,000 more vehicles added to Penang's roads each month [1], we will have to commit ourselves soon to a decision to enhance sustainable transport.
Think City Bhd invited Prof Eric Britton, managing director of EcoPlan International in Paris, founder of World Car Free Days and longtime advocate of sustainable transport initiatives, to Penang with the purpose of studying the transport system, meeting stakeholders and hosting a series of events to come up with ideas and a new perspective for transportation improvements across the state. Thus, Sustainable Penang: Towards a New Mobility was arranged as a two-week itinerary that featured 11 focus group discussions, three master classes, a lecture, a symposium and dialogues with MPPP, MPSP and the Penang Transport Council.
World Carshare 2014: "Going Dutch"
Does carsharing promote balanced and sustainable economic growth?
The short off the cuff answer is: yes definitely. But let us dig deeper.
The answer becomes even more self-evident if you turn the question around and ask: does an automobile-lifestyle promote balanced and sustainable economic growth. We all know the answer to that one.
A well thought-out carsharing policy — which incidentally is not really possible unless you first have a well thought out overall mobility strategy – – will make a contribution to promoting balanced and sustainable economic growth. How is that?
Why buses represent democracy in action
Enrique Peñalosa, former mayor of Bogotá, was responsible for introducing a number of in terms of transportation and public space innovations. In this short video he talks here about buses versus cars (really people v. cars) and the experience of Bogotá in giving clear preference to buses with their now world-famous Transmilenio (BRT) mass transit system. As mayor he also introduced a number of innovations including land-use, parks and public space projects as well as Bogotá's Bike Paths Network. If you listen to his talk you will see the very large number of issues and themes which relates to the situation in Penang today. Let's see what we can learn from Bogotá.

Congestion Relief Strategies for Asian Cities
This article by Todd Litman of the Victoria Transport Policy Institute has just appeared in the December 2013 issue of the United Nation's "Transport and Communications Bulletin for Asia and the Pacific." It reinforces many of the strategies and principles set out in the New Mobility Agenda 2014/15 program, and provides useful reading for anybody concerned with transportation, mobility and public space improvements in Penang and George Town. A summary introduction to the full paper follows extracting a final section on Optimal Congestion Solutions and the Conclusions.

Street Graffiti
Corbusier-Free Cities
To be quite frank, to the point and a bit rude, the famed 20th century Swiss architect, designer, artist and general polymath Le Corbusier when he donned his urbanist hat provided us with several striking examples of how to build a city for cars. We are extremely fortunate that most of them never got off the drawing board. But today, the Danish architect Henrik Valeur tells us about one that did and what perhaps Indian planners and urbanists can now do something to rectify.
World Carshare 2013 – Notes for Short Reports
Carsharing is most unevenly distributed over the world map. There are great extremes, running from countries like Switzerland in which it is universally known and widely practiced, to the situation of most countries on the planet where even the word is not much known. For this reason our 2013 country profiles have to be ingenious and flexible, one size will not fit all, if we are to give our readers a feel for the full range of practices and issues. Let's have a look, starting with some "carshare basics".
Towards a deprivatisation of car ownership
Nordic Carsharing: The City of Oslo
This 2011 report by May Hald, Petter Christiansen and Vibeke Nenseth of the Norwegian Center for Transport Research on carsharing in Oslo gives us a good feel not only for carsharing activities in that one city but also more generally user preferences and choice factors in Norway and Scandinavia.
The Three Faces of Carsharing: France 2005
Here by way of historical background to accompany our just getting-underway World Carshare 2013 update please find some working notes that I pulled together for the purpose of a presentation at the first official government meeting on carsharing in France (seven years after we set up our own unofficial working group with the OECD in 1998). What you have here was extracted from a much longer thinkpiece that I was drafting on the subject at the time. Have a look and let us know if you find some vision in what follows. Or the lack thereof if that is your read of the evidence as et out here and available from other sources.

Why are americans driving less? (Guess!)
Jarrett Walker, the transport planning consultant behind the Human Transit blog has done all of us a favor by providing a short review on an excellent report freely available from the U.S. PIRG Education Fund Frontier Group under the title A NEW WAY TO GO: The Transportation Apps and Vehicle-Sharing Tools that Are Giving More Americans the Freedom to Drive Less.. The PIRG report announces its colors, opening with the words . . .
Most Americans want to drive less. For some, it's a matter of economics. Transportation is the second-largest household expenditure, after only housing, and ahead of food, clothing, education and health care. Owning, maintaining and fueling a car is a significant drain on household budgets, especially when times are tight. For others . . .
"Carsharing 2000″: Sustainable Transport's Missing Link
Paris, 21 October 2013. How much we learned about car sharing, and more importantly sustainable transport in cities, over the last decade and a half? To put that question into perspective, please find below the full text of a year 2000 collaborative report prepared here in Paris with the help of knowledgeable colleagues from around the world which does a pretty good job of summing up the state-of-the-art state of thinking about these matters at the end of the 20th century. Have a look at this 13 year old overview of the industry and its prospects, and tell us what you think.
The xCar: New Ways of Owning and Using Cars in the 21st Century
This is a collaborative thinking exercise addressing essentially a single question. But one of many parts. What is the "modern motor car" going to look like in the decade immediately ahead? Will it be more of the same? Or will it mutate into a very different form of mobility? Who is going to own it? And how is it going to be used? Where will it be driven (and eventually parked)? Will it be piloted by a warm sapient human being, or will it be driverless? Will it still have wheels, doors and tires? What will be its impact on the environment? And what will be the impact of the "environment" on it? On public safety? On quality of life for all. Will it be efficient, economic and equitable? Who will make them and where? Is it going to create or destroy jobs? And how fast is all of this going to occur? . . .

Two teams — the Walker Vikings and the No. 4 Addison Bulldogs — can claim region championships with victories, while the No. 8 Oakman Wildcats can remain in contention for their region title with a win.
For the Winston County Yellow Jackets and the Dora Bulldogs, victories are needed for both programs this week in order to keep their playoff aspriations alive.
Aliceville (5-2) at Oakman (6-1)
Oakman's hopes of a second straight region championship will be put to the test today against Aliceville.
After playing five of its first seven games away from Hosea Collins Field, the 8th-ranked Wildcats close out the season with three straight home games.
None is bigger than tonight's Class 2A, Region 6 matchup.
Aliceville (5-2, 5-0) currently sits atop the region standings after hammering both Lamar County (56-33) and R.C. Hatch (61-6) over the last two weeks.
Oakman can tie Aliceville for first place with a win over the Bulldogs.
Coach Mark Hastings' Wildcats have been on a tear since a loss to Lamar County in Week 2. Oakman has won five straight games thanks to a balanced offense and a dominating defense. The Wildcats have outscored their last five opponents 226-32, allowing double digit points just once over that span.
Oakman, led by senior quarterback Jase Trotter and receivers Deontre Muse, Purvis Coger and Quinton Harris along with running back Chris Austin, won last year's meeting 50-36 at Aliceville.
Walker (5-2) at Mortimer Jordan (4-3)
The Vikings can capture their second consecutive Class 5A, Region 6 championship with a win over the Blue Devils on Friday night, regardless of next week's clash with Springville.
Standing at a perfect 5-0 in region play, Walker's victory over previously unbeaten Center Point allows the Vikings to hold the tie-breaker in determining the region champion should the Vikings lose one of the next two games.
The Vikings should be in good shape, thanks to a stingy defense and the emergence of a powerful running attack led by halfback Marlon Oliver.
Mortimer Jordan has moved the ball successfully this season, scoring more than 34 points per game, but have had trouble stopping the opposition on defense, surrendering over 28 points a contest.
Walker holds a 7-2 edge in the overall series and won last year's meeting, 38-6.
No. 4 Addison (7-0) at No. 6 Falkville (6-0)
A true Class 1A, Region 6 title match, the Bulldogs and the Eagles meet in a winner-take-all clash.
Both teams' last region championship came when the programs were in different classifications.
Addison won a region title in 2006 as a Class 2A program, while Falkville's came in 1996 while in Class 3A.
Both teams have mercilessly torn through their competition — the Eagles have outscored opponents 264-39, while the Bulldogs have posted a 289-55 scoring edge.
The Bulldogs hold a 32-17 record over the Eagles and won last year's match, 20-12.
Jemison (6-1) at Dora (4-3)
The Bulldogs have battled opponents — and losses to their roster — to remain in Class 4A, Region 4's region race.
Dora clinched a thrilling 45-42 victory over Oak Grove last week to head into Friday night's battle with a 3-2 region mark. The Bulldogs can solidify their region spot with a win tonight.
The Panthers, who hold a 6-1 record in the region standings, lost their only game to front-runner Bibb County, 26-19, in week four.
Jemison routed Corner last week, 54-27.
The Bulldogs hold a 2-1 series advantage over the Panthers, winning last year's meeting 39-8.
Winston County (3-4) at Hamilton (5-2)
The road back to the playoffs is a tough one for Winston County.
The Yellow Jackets, 2-3 in region play, will need back-to-back wins over both Hamilton and Vinemont next week, as well as a series of losses to the three 4-1 teams in the region for the next two weeks to earn a potential fourth-place playoff spot.
Hamilton has won all five meetings between the two teams, including last year's 46-27 decision.

Getting the BP post author avatar outside of loop.
Ok Im using the wp-postratings plugin which allows you to show the a single highest rated post from a category. The problem is it shows the title and I want it to show the avatar. of the BP author. I found where to change it but I can't figure out what to use to get the BP avatar. Heres the snippet of code in question.
'if (strpos($template, '%POST_TITLE%') !== false) {
$post_title = the_author_meta( 'avatar' , "$author_id" );
if ($max_post_title_chars > 0) {
$post_title = snippet_text($post_title, $max_post_title_chars);
$value = str_replace("%POST_TITLE%", $post_title, $value);
I had already changed the value of $post_title to what it is now but that obviously isn't working. I just need to $post_title to equal the url of the bp author avatar or get the image all together. It's later called in the template by using %POST_TITLE%. Hope that makes sense and thanks for any help.

Since Jan. 8, 2000, a lot has happened in the world of pro football. Tom Brady has gone from unknown backup to greatest QB of the generation. Michael Strahan and Brett Favre reminded Americans the right and wrong ways to end their careers on top. Even the team once known as the 'Aints took home a Lombardi Trophy. Yet, there's one thing that hasn't taken place: the Bills and Lions playing in the postseason.
It now has been 11 years since those two teams played in the playoffs. Every other franchise that was around at that time has made the playoffs since then, but not Buffalo or Detroit. Both franchises have had some unfortunate draft picks; a couple of balls didn't bounce their way. But no playoff trips in more than a decade is a shock, considering the parity that has spread throughout the rest of the league.
Just look at the numbers: Every year more than a third of the league makes the postseason. The past two years 17 different teams have made the playoffs. Go back to '08 and the number rises to 21 different teams. It has proven to be nearly mathematically impossible to go an extended period of time in the NFL without making the playoffs, yet the Bills and Lions defy the odds, year after year.
The strange thing is, these two teams weren't always synonymous with losing. Buffalo made the playoffs 10 times between 1988-99, reaching four Super Bowls in a row behind a group of Hall of Fame players. Entering that playoff game vs. the Titans following the '99 season, the Bills appeared to have a talented 26-year-old QB in Rob Johnson whom they could build around for many years to come.
Detroit, meanwhile, was a constant participant in January football in the 1990s, with Barry Sanders as its main attraction. Even after his retirement prior to the '99 season, the Lions still ground out a wild-card berth in a competitive NFC Central. As the world worried about the repercussions of the Y2K bug, nobody could have foreseen that these two teams would fade into football oblivion.
That fateful day 11 years ago changed it all. The Bills played first, and anyone who has turned on ESPN Classic knows how that game ended. Buffalo took a one-point lead with 16 seconds left, only to see Frank Wycheck and Kevin Dyson execute the "Music City Miracle," giving Tennessee an improbable victory on its way to an appearance in the Super Bowl. Hours later, the Lions were overmatched by Stephen Davis and the Redskins, falling behind 27-0 at halftime before losing 27-13.
Since their last playoff appearance, the Bills have played to a record of 70-106, while the Lions have been even worse, at 48-128. Both teams have whiffed on free-agent signings, draft picks and head coaches. They both have been embarrassed on the field (see Buffalo's 15 consecutive losses to the Patriots) and off (see nearly every one of Matt Millen's draft picks for the Lions) since Jan. 8, 2000.
Things began to turn for both teams in 2010. The Bills had one of the league's least-talented rosters but played hard every week and seem to be on the upswing. The Lions have stockpiled talent through the draft in recent years and finished the season with four consecutive wins. If everything goes right, maybe these two teams will make the playoffs in 2011. Odds say they have to — eventually.
This column was originally published in the current print edition of Pro Football Weekly, dated Jan. 9, 2011, which also includes a playoff primer with in-depth analysis of all 12 playoff teams, ranked from most likely to win Super Bowl XLV to least likely, our grades for all 36 NFL head coaches this season, plus columnists and insights into the upcoming NFL draft, handicapping and fantasy football.

* = Required Fields
HOUSTON (BP) -- By strengthening the pastor and his family, Southern Baptist Pastors' Conference President Gregg Matte wants to create a movement that could become the spark God uses to bring revival. Thus the theme of this year's gathering: "Launch: Taking Our Hearts, Homes, and Ministries to a Higher Place."
The June 9-10 Pastors' Conference will featuring preaching, worship, prayer and panel discussions to undergird the ministry of pastors and their wives. The sessions, at Houston's George R. Brown Convention Center, will be held prior to the Southern Baptist Convention's June 11-12 annual meeting there.
"Our vision for PC13 is to inspire the heart and offer practical application to the hands of the pastor and his wife," Matte, pastor of Houston's First Baptist Church, has said, toward seeking to create a movement rather than another conference. The "Launch" theme, he added, offers a nod to the host city's role in America's space program.
"The Pastors' Conference is not just a connection with an event, but a connection with a pathway" to a relationship with the convention, Matte told the Southern Baptist TEXAN newsjournal. "That's something we can bring to the table that others can't. You can go to another conference and it starts, it finishes and it's over."
In contrast, by interacting with other pastors of all ages at the Pastors' Conference, Matte said, "You connect and now you're connected with the resources that relationship can provide for you.
"The denomination was created to be a blessing to the local church," he added in describing the camaraderie among believers who take a strong stance on the Word of God and want to make a difference in the world.
"That's a huge deal. That's what's important to young guys, too," Matte said, voicing a belief that all generations should participate in the annual meeting, pre-convention sessions such as the Pastor's Conference and the Crossover evangelistic effort. This year, Crossover will include outreach in conjunction with Union Baptist Association and North American Mission Board as well as block parties hosted by Southern Baptists of Texas Convention churches.
Speakers for Sunday evening (June 9) at the Pastors' Conference will include Bruce Frank, pastor of Biltmore Baptist Church in Arden, N.C.; John Bisagno, pastor emeritus of Houston's First Baptist Church; and SBC President Fred Luter Jr., pastor of Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans.
Also that night, a ministry roundtable panel discussion will consider the topics of leadership challenges, leading change, and leading a congregation and staff. It will feature Jack Graham, pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas; Rodney Woo, senior pastor of the International Baptist Church in Singapore; and Eric Geiger, vice president of LifeWay Christian Resources' church resources division.
Monday morning (June 10), will feature messages by Woo and Ed Stetzer, lead pastor of Grace Church in Hendersonville, Tenn., and president of LifeWay Research, and a panel discussion on preaching Scripture and reaching the lost by Ronnie Floyd, senior pastor of Cross Church in Springdale, Ark.; Mark Dever, senior pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C.; and Tony Merida, lead pastor of Imago Dei Church in Raleigh, N.C., and associate professor of preaching at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest.
On Monday afternoon, speakers will include pastor Matt Carter of Austin Stone Community Church in Austin and Gary Rosberg of Des Moines, Iowa, speaker and co-founder of America's Family Coaches. Bryant Wright, pastor of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, Ga., and his wife Ann will lead a roundtable discussion on balancing family and ministry, keeping the Sabbath through rest, a pastor's personal relationship with Jesus, and handling fear.
"If we lead well, preach the Word well and blow up our homes, then we've lost it," Matte said, emphasizing the importance of addressing family concerns. "There a very big tension for us as pastors to not work 24 hours a day," he said, referencing a pastor's mindset "so when we're at church we're not at home, and when we're home we're not at church."
Matte said wives are encouraged to join their husbands for the afternoon session on family issues following the women's concurrent session on Monday morning featuring keynote speakers Barb Rosberg of America's Family Coaches and Jennie Allen of Austin, author of "Anything: The Prayer that Unlocked My God and My Soul."
On Monday evening, Pastors' Conference speakers will include Greg Laurie, pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, Calif.; Tim McKenzie of Sugar Land, Texas, president and founder of On Every Word Ministry; and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, host of "Huckabee" on the Fox News Channel.
This year's leadership team, which includes Paul Jimenez, pastor of Taylors First Baptist Church in Taylors, S.C., as vice president and pastor John Morgan of Sagemont Church in Houston as treasurer, sought to enlist a diverse group of speakers from different ages and stages of life. "You've got people from different places and ethnicities," Matte said, "from North Carolina to Singapore to Houston to California."
Matte said his prayer for pastors after the conference is that "we'd preach better, we'd lead better, we'd see God's Word better and stronger, and the Lord would do His work in us."
The Pastors' Conference is free and requires no registration. To learn more about this year's schedule, sponsors and mission, visit
For the first time in a couple of years, childcare for older children -- ages 6-12 -- will be offered during all Pastors' Conference sessions, provided by Children's Conferences International. Register at

My husband and I were a bit apprehensive to take Costa since the reviews were so-so. Either they were great or very negative!
We left home the day before in case of a snowstorm (we had a lot) and we didn't want to miss our cruise.
It was our second one, but first without the kids.
Embarkation: Really great and fast!!!!! Compared to Carnival, excellent!!
Debarkation: Really good, also.
Lots of Europeans on the cruise, but we didn't mind.
We had to change our dinner time, since they had given us the second seating. The Maitre D, said we had asked the second seating. I said that I would not be standing in line to change it if I had asked the 2nd. That is the only one who was not "really nice" on the cruise.
The Cruise Director should speak just a bit slower when he speaks English so that we can understand him a bit better.
I would say that the for lunch, the buffet, the variety could have been a bit better, but otherwise, I didn't go hungry at all.
The cabin was spotless. We had a cabin with balcony, which we used a lot. But, I think they should add more "furnishings" in the bathroom, like shampoo, and all the necessities, like Carnival. But since I had read that they didn't furnish them, I had brought my own.
Grand Cayman, the sea was agitated, so we didn't accost at George Town, like we were supposed too. We took a bus/taxi to get to George Town, extra $, but it was ok. No fault to Costa. We were able to enjoy George Town anyway.
Cozumel, very nice day. Shopped in the morning and in the afternoon took a taxi to the beach. We did snorkeling and enjoyed our afternoon. We did not take an excursion. We went by ourselves and we thought it was much better.
Also, what we did, is that in the morning we made ourselves sandwiches that we brought with us to eat at the beach. Much more convenient and less expensive.
All in all, we had a great cruise and we would probably have no hesitation of taking Costa again.

The PRECI-FLEX tooling system features a single base holder and multiple tooling adapters that utilize the ER collet pocket. It is designed to make lathe tooling changeovers quick, accurate and effective while ensuring maximum torque transmission and rigidity, the company says. The modular system's conical and flat face planar interface accepts either an adapter or a standard ER collet, and enables collets, endmill holders, expanding collet chucks and shrink-fit tooling to be mounted on a single base holder.
The tooling system's Adapter Collet Chuck, is equipped with an inside nut that enables operators to use the adapter to make the collet pocket smaller. The adapter can then clamp onto the end mill while remaining compact during machining. The chuck can also be used as a pre-settable option offline to increase setup capability. Sizes range from ER11 – ER32.
PRECI-FLEX toolholders provide repeatability within 10 microns, the company says. The system also enables tooling adapters to be interchanged between fixed and rotary base holders.
Similarly, the DECO-FLEX tooling interface is designed for the manufacture of components in the miniature range. It is intended for turning and milling centers with limited working areas.
More technology – a lot more!
IMTS 2014 will be the year's largest showcase of new product technologies and new process innovations. If you're looking for machining, tooling, systems, software, solutions and more, you'll find it at IMTS 2014.

Main Street in Goshen was closed Saturday evening while police responded to a domestic dispute.
Police say a man barricaded himself in his home on Main Street, near State Road 15 after his partner told police she'd been abused.
After about an hour of crisis negotiators communicating with the man, he surrendered to police.
Taylor Rodden lives next door to where this all happened.
He and his friends watched the scene he described as scary, from his window.
"At one point the cops they came knock on the door to tell us to get out the window cause he didn't want the bullets flying through the house if there was a shoot out," says Rodden.
Police say Main Street was only closed for a short period of time.

---- — HAVERHILL — Two different work barges broke free in the Merrimack River earlier this month, banging into the new Groveland Bridge and the recently renovated Rocks Village Bridge.
Michael Verseckes, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation, said neither bridge was structurally damaged.
"The damage was cosmetic in nature and was minimal and had no impact on the structural components of the bridge," Verseckes said of the Groveland Bridge, which was hit by the barge Jan. 13.
David Van Dam, Mayor James Fiorentini's aide, said the Rocks Village Bridge was hit about a week earlier by a different barge under the control of another state contractor.
Both incidents, Verseckes said, were the result of ice buildup on the river, which caused the barges to move and make contact with the bridges.
"Since that time, the contractors have brought in additional resources to break up ice on the river," Verseckes said. "Additionally, some equipment is being removed on a nightly basis so it does not inhibit the flow of the river."
Van Dam said the city has asked the state to put in place better safeguards to make sure the bridges are protected.
Verseckes noted there has been some "cracking" on the top course of pavement on the Groveland Bridge deck, as well as some deterioration of the paint, or pavement markings. That damage, he said, is unrelated to being hit by the barge. Those issues will be corrected by the contractor when the weather allows, Verseckes said.
The new Groveland Bridge, also known as the Congressman William H. Bates Bridge, opened Sept. 20. The 775-foot span cost $49.7 million to build and replaced the old Groveland Bridge, which was deteriorating. The new bridge links Haverhill and Groveland over the Merrimack River.
The historic Rocks Village Bridge, which spans the river between Haverhill and West Newbury, reopened in October following lengthy repairs. The span had been closed to traffic since June 2012, to allow $14.1 million in renovations.

Officials say four people had to be taken to the hospital Saturday night after a two car wreck near the Back River Bridge.According to witnesses, one car tried to pass another which ended up forcing it into the marsh. Two soldiers, Josh Banks and Derrick Graves, were at a birthday party nearby and heard the crash and rushed to help."He did a cartwheel into the swamp. I dropped my jacket as fast as I could and ran as fast as I could to get down there. He got thrown out of the vehicle," Josh Banks said.Banks' friend also helped rescue the man."None of us even thought about our own safety. We didn't even check the road as we ran across, we just booked it," said Derrick Graves.According to emergency crews, none of the injuries appeared to be life threatening.Copyright 2012 WTOC.

The FBI is now offering a $200,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a man sought for a 2004 Arizona robbery in which an armored car guard was killed.
The original reward for Jason Derek Brown was $100,000.
He's sought for the killing of Robert Palomares, the guard who was gunned down as he left a Phoenix movie theater with more than $56,000 in cash.
An Arizona warrant charges Brown with first-degree murder and armed robbery. A federal warrant charges him with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
"The last sighting that we have that was credible was up in Portland. The exact timeframe there was shortly after the incident had occurred, but it has been several years really that we have had any credible evidence of location," said FBI Special Agent Mark Hoffman.
Brown was added to the FBI's most-wanted list in 2007.

Diagnosing Erectile Dysfunction (cont.)
Diagnostic Testing Results
Patient Comments
Your doctor will discuss your results with you (including your partner when possible) and summarize any risk factors (eg, smoking, medications) that may be involved. Your doctor will also review with you the various treatment options that can be considered. Together, you and your doctor will develop a strategy to help you and your partner achieve a satisfactory result.
Once significant systemic diseases, such as diabetes or heart disease, are ruled out, an oral medication, such as Viagra, Levitra, or Cialis, may be prescribed. If these agents are successful, further testing is usually not warranted.

---- — LONDONDERRY — What began as a hobby in a garage has now grown into a sweet success story for one local businessman.
Michael Fairbrother owns Londonderry-based Moonlight Meadery. He brews up batches of honey mixed with water, yeast, spices and fruits to create mead, a drink older than most grape-based wines.
Fairbrother had been brewing at his home since 1995.
He said he learned a lot about food, taste and seasoning from watching his mother cook.
His company started production in May 2010. Since then, it has grown to include mead with names like Desire, Entice, Coffee in Bed, Smitten, Flirt, Indulge and Scorn. There are some 66 flavors ranging from dry to sweet — and always a new one in the works.
"We make an awful lot of varieties of mead," Fairbrother said.
He sees a new type of drink almost visually first, then a name and how to create the flavor.
"If I like it, then I'm happy," he said.
A new flavor now in the works will be a unique combination of orange and vanilla.
"It's almost like a Creamsicle," Fairbrother said.
Making the traditional drink requires a lot of honey and fruit brought in from around the state.
His apple cider supply comes from Londonderry's Sunnycrest Farm.
More than 3,200 pounds of honey will arrive at the Londonderry Road meadery in one box from Littleton.
"We use as many local ingredients as we can," he said.
Once the mead is processed, the wine ages anywhere from three months up to 18 months, depending on the type. Fairbrother fills about 120,000 bottles every four months.
Each bottle of mead is smaller than a traditional wine bottle, holding 375 milliliters of liquid.
This year, he anticipates selling 5,000 cases of mead, doubling last year's total. He said he hopes to add more jobs to his five-person staff to keep up with the demand.
Last month, Moonlight Meadery received an investment from Vested For Growth, a Concord-based company that helps business owners increase their profits.
"In Moonlinght Meadery, we saw growing sales and an excellent management team," said James Key-Wallace, a senior investor at Vested for Growth. "This company is poised to accelerate and offer high quality jobs to the community for many years to come."
Fairbrother sees his business as not only a sweet success story, but one of hard work, perseverance and commitment to making a solid product.
"We are doing something nobody else in the county has done so far," he said. "Keeping up with the demand is almost impossible."
He said more and more people are trying the drink and liking it. That brings customers in the door.
"We had over 3,000 people since May come in for tastings," he said.
This summer, Moonlight Meadery signed a distribution agreement with St. Killian Importing Company that will help Fairbrother expand to retailers in all 50 states.
Fairbrother calls his success "breathtaking." He said he doesn't always think of it as work, but as a total labor of love. He and his wife, Berniece, even got married at the meadery.
"It's a dream story," he said.
Moonlight Meadery is located at 23 Londonderry Road, Unit 17. For information, contact Fairbrother at 216-2162 or visit moonlightmeadery.com.

How Labour plan to fund scrapping the 'bedroom tax'
Ed Miliband is expected to tell the Labour party conference tomorrow that he plans to scrap the housing benefit change he calls the 'bedroom tax' by closing tax loopholes "for the privileged few."
Labour plan to repeal the spare room subsidy by:
- Reversing George Osborne's £150 million tax cut for hedge funds.
- Scrapping the Conservative party's "share for rights" scheme, which Labour claims has opened a tax loophole of up to £1 billion.
- Tackling tax scams in the construction industry, which Mr Miliband believes is costing £500 million in lost revenue.

Ten Girl Scouts from three different Jefferson County troops received the organization's second highest award Sunday.
During a ceremony at Green Hills Golf Club, the recipients earned Bronze Awards.
Those receiving awards from Troop 8609 include: Brianna Lynn McGehee, Brittany Danielle McGehee, Victoria Faith McGrath, and Julia Christine Meeks. From Troop 8643, awards were presented to Emmali Nyckole Petersen and Grace Hannah Seidel. Recipients of Troop 8623 were unable to attend, although they were recognized. They include: Olivia Grace Chandler, Terionna Tahlia Chandler, Kaylee Ann Szarek, and Destiny Jade Tate.
Troop 8609, under the direction of Donna McGehee and Aaron Walding, was recognized for the Easter celebration at the National Guard Armory; Troop 8643, under the direction of Sheila Jolly Scrivner, was recognized for their Trash to Treasures project at Arbor Day; and Troop 8623, under the direction of Julia Merriman and Crystal Webster, was recognized for being shelter helpers of Big Paws, Little Paws.
Niki Patton, a Gold Award recipient, congratulated the Bronze Award recipients.
"Girls, you are making history with your books. There is so much hard work that goes into your projects. You've shown dedication to the scouts and the community," she said.
Girl Scouts COO Susan Gurwitch also congratulated the 10 scouts.
"It's a privilege to be here today. It's one of my favorite things to do. I want to thank all of the troops and volunteers. What we do is a big deal. The staff is here to make sure you achieve your goals," she said.
Ruth Alexander, a lifetime member of Girl Scouts, added, "Girl Scouts makes the world smaller and girls bigger, and the girls we are honoring today have made a huge difference in the world."
Certificates of honor were presented to the scouts on behalf of Mayor Mary Jane Chesley, State Rep. Mike Bost and U.S. Rep. Bill Enyart.
Bluford Grade School's eighth grade ensemble closed out the program by singing "My Wish," dedicated to the day's honorees.

CBS Story on 'Fighter' Alan Grayson Ignores False 'Taliban Dan' Ad
In a story on Florida Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson's bid for reelection on Sunday's CBS Evening News, correspondent Michelle Miller described the left-wing bomb thrower this way: "Freshman Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson considers himself a fighter....Whether taking on the foreclosure mess or the Republican Party."
Miller briefly referred to Grayson's history of controversial comments: "...this lawyer, former businessman, and economist, has gained notoriety for his partisan remarks on the House floor." A clip was played of the Congressman proclaiming that Republicans wanted to people to "die quickly" because they opposed ObamaCare. However, missing from the report was any mention of Grayson accusing his opponent of being like the Taliban for having socially conservative views.
Grayson's outrageous ad has played a significant role in the Democratic incumbent sinking in the polls. The Cook Political Report actually moved the race into the "leans Republican" column, citing, in part, that ad: "...the preponderance of evidence suggests that Grayson's scorched earth 'Taliban Dan' attacks against GOP state Sen. Dan Webster are backfiring. Editorial boards have excoriated Grayson for taking Webster's words grossly out of context..."
One such editorial board was that of the Orlando Sentinel, which endorsed Webster over Grayson on Friday. The paper cited the ad in question as a factor in it's decision: "Independent fact-checking organizations have judged those ads as false. So have we." It went on to declare: "Mr. Grayson's antics are not merely an embarrassment to himself and his district. They deepen the partisan divide that has left Congress almost dysfunctional."
One would think that given the negative impact that ad has had on Grayson's campaign that CBS would have at least mentioned it. Instead, Miller noted how "Outside groups aligned with the Republican Party are spending millions on anti-Grayson ads." Anchor Russ Mitchell framed the story this way: "One race in particular has a Democratic incumbent facing a Republican who has a familiar name and supporters with big bank accounts."
Wrapping up her report, Miller announced: "The incumbent may be on the ropes, but makes no apology for being blunt." A clip was played of Grayson: "I'm just telling it like it is, how it honestly looks to me. This is not some kind of pose. This is not some kind of act." Miller concluded: "In two weeks, he'll know if he'll be back for another round."
Here is a full transcript of the October 17 segment:
MITCHELL: And now to Florida, where several U.S. House seats could hold the key to just who will run Congress. One race in particular has a Democratic incumbent facing a Republican who has a familiar name and supporters with big bank accounts. Michelle Miller has more.
MICHELLE MILLER: Freshman Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson considers himself a fighter.
ALAN GRAYSON: We will show central Florida the power of the people!
MILLER: Whether taking on the foreclosure mess-
GRAYSON: Banks are taking homes that don't belong to them.
MILLER: -or the Republican Party.
GRAYSON: Their number one target in this election is me.
MILLER: That's because this lawyer, former businessman, and economist, has gained notoriety for his partisan remarks on the House floor.
GRAYSON: The Republicans' health care plan for America, don't get sick. And if you do get sick, their back-up plan is die quickly.
MILLER: Grayson won a swing district in Orlando two years ago, riding President Obama's coattails as he won Florida. Except for the troop surge in Afghanistan, the Congressman has supported the President on just about everything, from the economic stimulus to health care reform. Enter Daniel Webster. A conservative who backs balancing the budget and opposes all abortions, Webster says Grayson and the House Democrats are out of touch.
DAN WEBSTER: The process is broken. The policy broken. The way they campaign is broken. He's a part of that.
MILLER: A small business owner and a state legislator for 28 years, Webster says federal spending is out of control.
WEBSTER: The key is just turning off the spigot. It's like buying a car, and you borrow the money to buy the car, but then you borrow the money to make payments on the money you borrowed to pay the car. It's too much.
MILLER: This close campaign comes down to motivating the base door-to-door and on the air. Outside groups aligned with the Republican Party are spending millions on anti-Grayson ads.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: When it comes to Nancy Pelosi, big barker Grayson turns into a lapdog.
MILLER: The incumbent may be on the ropes, but makes no apology for being blunt.
GRAYSON: I'm just telling it like it is, how it honestly looks to me. This is not some kind of pose. This is not some kind of act.
MILLER: In two weeks, he'll know if he'll be back-
WEBSTER: Go get it.
MILLER: -for another round. Michelle Miller, CBS News, New York.

PS - A few of my Navy buds and I told people about this and the WHEELS WERE ALREADY WELL IN MOTION and e-mails and phone calls from all branches MADE THIS HAPPEN........ God, I am giddy about this.
Posted - October 18th, 2010
I have reviewed the Political Action Committee (PAC) Board of Directors' response to our request to rescind this year's Congressional endorsements.
I disagree with their assessment.
It is now evident to most of the VFW leadership, both National and especially the departments, that the VFW has been subjected to extreme negative publicity throughout the nation, and the recent endorsement decisions have, in fact, harmed the VFW's reputation and future ability to fulfill our mission.
I cannot let this erosion of public support for our great organization continue.
The apparent lack of the committee to address these concerns will lead to a proposal by me, as Commander-in-Chief, to amend the by-laws at the 112th National Convention for the purpose of dissolving the PAC.
Meanwhile, under the authority granted to me as Commander-in-Chief in section 619 of the VFW National By-Laws and under section 620 of the Manual of Procedure, I am withdrawing all PAC appointments effective October 15, 2010.
Accordingly, I'm asking the council for a vote of "no confidence" in the VFW PAC as indicated on the enclosed ballot.

Submitted by scarebear83 on Mon, 10/18/2010 - 5:07pm.
Don't ask why but I happened to watch Grayson while he was on Schultz's show... I had to ask myself "how can this man outright lie on tv?" I mean even his facial expression seemed to say "I'm lying to your viewers on tv and I know it but I hope they don't, and if they call me on it I'll just call them liars."
A quote from that show: "…People with a conscience. They destroy us with these negative ads– these blistering, evil negative ads. In front of my children, on my TV set, they've called me a liar, they've called me a loudmouth, they've said that I'm a national embarrassment, and this is their idea of constructive dialogue."
In fact HERE is where you can see the video from that interview. I mean he complains about how his opponent attacks him without even flinching.

Note how Michelle Miller not only labels Daniel Webster as a "conservative" who "opposes all abortions", but Miller entirely fails to identify the ideology of a whack job, leftist freak like Alan Grayson and fails to identify that the fact that Grayson is a militant, abortion enthusiast.

Bao Reaches Semifinals at 2012 US Open Sectionals
CLEARWATER, Fla. – Playing for a chance to qualify for the 2012 US Open men's tennis Tournament, FGCU freshman Tianyu Bao (Tianjin, China/Bayshore HS) made a run to the semifinals before falling just short at the US Open Regional Qualifier on May 26-29 at McMullen Tennis Complex in Clearwater, Fla.
Joining Bao at the tournament were teammates Michael Beiler (Palm Harbor, Fla./Dunedin HS) and Jackson Moore (Bradenton, Fla./Lakewood Ranch HS/Georgia State).
"I'm so happy to see that the guys are playing some good tennis over the summer." said first-year head coach C.J. Weber. "All three of these guys lost to quality opponents and are finding great competition to take their games to the next level."
Bao won his first round match in straight sets against Mehdi Tahiri, 6-2, 6-1. In the second round, Bao defeated William Dowis, 6-3, 6-4 to set up a round of 16 match against Franco Mata (FGCU Alum '04). Bao moved on to the quarterfinals with a 6-3, 7-5, victory against Mata and cruised to the semifinals with a straight sets win against Rich Vach, 6-1, 6-0. In the semifinal round, Bao lost to Eric Hechtman (Miami Alum 06'), 6-4, 7-5.
Hechtman ended up winning the Sectional Qualifying Tournament against Ryler DeHeart, 6-4, 7-5, on Tuesday, May 29. DeHeart is a retired ATP player that Weber coached at three grand slam events in the U.S. Open '09, Wimbledon '09 and French Open '10.
The winner of each Sectional Qualifying Tournament in each division (men's singles, women's singles, mixed doubles) will advance to the US Open National Playoffs Championships in their respective division taking place in New Haven, CT at Yale University during the New Haven Open at Yale, a WTA event, part of the US Open Series (August 17-20 for singles, August 22-25 for mixed doubles). The winner of each Singles Championship (1 male, 1 female) will receive a wild card entry to compete in the 2012 US Open Qualifying Tournament (August 21-24) at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
"What an amazing concept the USTA has put together to have a regional playoff for the U.S. Open," said Weber. "It is now a true open event and what an amazing opportunity to compete for a spot in the most prestigious tournament in the world."
Moore won his second round match against Murphey Parker, 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (7-4) before falling to No. 1 seed Jeff Dadamo (Texas A&M Alum), who was a 2010 NCAA Doubles Champion, 6-1, 6-2. Beiler lost a tough three set match to Danny Riggs, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1, in the second round.
The Green and Blue doubled their win total from a season ago with seven victories this year. FGCU returns five of its six starters in the singles lineup in hopes of a return trip to the A-Sun Championships next season. The Eagles' also added two freshmen for next season in Chris Perrigan (Tallahassee, Fla./Maclay College Prep. School) and Dylan Gunning (Boca Raton, Fla./Olympics Heights HS).
