Corey Taylor Bothers us with vanity project through Dark HorseA comics news article
Stone Sour lead singer Corey Taylor, whose band apparently does "heavy metal" music, despite their only hit sounding decidedly like Nickelback, which is apparently a thing the world still supports even while Little Boots has yet to release her second album, has announced today that he will be writing a four-issue miniseries for Dark Horse, starting in April. Called House of Gold & Bones, the series will be a sci-fi/fantasy tale which also works as a morality play.
In perhaps the worst-written piece ever seen in the USA Today, you can find out practically nothing about the series, especially not details like who the artist will be. However, upon reading the article, one does get to enjoy USA Today accidentally making this sound like the most racially dubious comic in years. Our hero is called 'The Man', who fights 'Black John' for some reason. Of course, we're all hoping that this moniker is a reflection of John's inner darkness and not, y'know, his race, but the article gives us no confirmation.
Here's a look at the cover for issue #1. We have no idea who drew it.

The National Weather Service says up to 16 inches of snow have fallen in far western Maryland.
By 3:30 p.m. Monday, the weather service reported 16 inches in the Garrett County community of Red House, and 12 in nearby Oakland.
Nine inches of snow in Frostburg prompted Frostburg State University to cancel classes.
Snowfall was lighter further east. The weather service generally reported 3 to 5 inches in the Baltimore-Washington area.
Snowfall was ending Monday afternoon.

ACCUWEATHER - A storm responsible for heavy snow from Denver to Kansas City on Saturday and from St. Louis to Indianapolis on Sunday will continue to affect the mid-Atlantic Monday with snow, slush and rain. Heavier snow will fall in part of the central Appalachians.
The heaviest snow will focus over part of South Jersey into Monday evening and could briefly swing into central and eastern Long Island for a time Monday night, following rain.
The storm will struggle with marginal temperatures along I-95, causing some of the snow to fall as rain or melt as it falls. However, enough slush and poor visibility will result in travel delays and foiled plans to start the week for many.
Part of the storm started on Sunday night, including in Pittsburgh, Pa., and Washington, D.C., when road surface temperatures were cold. The Pittsburgh area had accumulated as much as 3 inches before sunrise while some of the mountainous areas of West Virginia had already received 10 inches. As a result, many Monday morning commuters were navigating on some slippery secondary roadways. AccuWeather.com meteorologists are bringing you live reports of the Mid-Atlantic snowstorm to keep you informed.
From Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, Wilmington, Philadelphia, Trenton and New York City, precipitation falling for part of the day on Monday will fight the March sun effect. Even when concealed by clouds, enough energy gets through to warm road surfaces, causing some or all of the snow to melt.
It has to snow very hard in urban areas to overwhelm the sun effect and accumulate on paved and concrete surfaces in urban areas during the middle of the day. The greatest amount of snow will be on grassy and elevated surfaces from Washington, D.C. to Trenton, N.J. The snow will have more success accumulating northwest and southeast of this major urban highway.
The area of accumulating snow will defined by rather sharp edges across the north and south.
In Virginia, the southern dividing line between rain and snow extended from near Richmond to near Danville.
In the area from the West Virginia mountains to the Laurel Highlands in south-central Pennsylvania, 3 to 6 additional inches can fall, including parts of the I-68 and Pennsylvania Turnpike corridors.
The northern extent of a coating to an inch of snow will run along the New York/Pennsylvania border eastward to along the South Coast of New England.
As always, local effects, such as urban versus rural and valley versus mountains, can bring a little less or a little more snowfall respectively. During March, these effects are often exploited to the max.
The storm brought a swath of heavy snow along the I-70 corridor in the Midwest but weakened as it moved eastward into the Ohio Valley. However, a new storm is developing and taking over just off the coast of Delaware, New Jersey and Long Island.
The strengthening storm is re-energizing the snow band, leading to totals of 3 to 6 inches across southeastern New Jersey into Monday night.
The timing of the snow along the mid-Atlantic coast should coincide with when road surfaces are cooling Monday evening.
As the snowstorm impacts the mid-Atlantic, it should only graze the South Coast of New England. A chance from what has become so common this winter, New England is actually expected to escape the worst of the storm.

incredible album from CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER,i remember listening to this when it first came out..WOW..the only down side is it is all a bit one dimentional…all very similar thats why i gave it 4stars and MONEY TALKS 5stars
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Oh this brings back memories. One of my favorite tapes from when I was in high school. Awesome album.Very fast crossover metalcore. Superior to Cro-Mags, Crumbsuckers, even Corrision of Comformity. As a bonus, cd contains their demo and 4 live tracks. Very highly recommended.
Cryptic Slaughter is one of the most underrated bands in the history of music. These guys were revolutionary. They were on of the first truly extreme bands. These guys were talented too. To give you an idea of how talented they were Rob Nicholson, their bass player, is now playing for OZZY OSBOURNE! CS play so fast that it is almost a blurr, you can't even keep up if you have the lyrics in front of you. Along with S.T., D.R.I. AND C.O.C. CS were one of the first bands to combine metal and punk and they did it terrificly. This release also comes with the Life in a Grave demo which might even be better than Convicted! There are also a ton of live tracks. Everyone must buy this CD right now!
A long time ago, in dark aeons of 1986, Cryptic Slaughter become the first truly extreme band i ever heard. There were Venom, SOD, Slayer, Metallica and Celtic Frost. And no Napalm Death records was released yet. "Convicted" was a real shock to the sound system. It was 100 times more intense, frenetic and angry than anyone else.
And now, 18 years later, it's still sounds fresh and exciting! Their next LP "Money Talks" offered a slightly better songwriting, but now "Money Talks" sounds a little too outdated. "Convicted" stood the test of time more effectively. This classic hardcore album still able to devastate any speakers with most impressive wall of sound since Discharge's "Why".
All thumbs up!
P.S. Also i can recommend 3rd Cryptic Slaughter album "Stream Of Consciousness" – it's the really great piece of raw hardcore action. Unfortunately, it now very difficult to find, 'cause it out of print for about ten years.
During the thrash metal/hardcore punk explosion of the 80's, playing as fast as you could was a number one priority on most bands' agendas. L.A.'s CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER pushed the speed envelope with the release of their debut, "Convicted" in 1986, signaling what many consider the birth of the "grindcore" subgenre (NAPALM DEATH practically defined that genre). Though sloppy in many places and with a thin sounding guitar, the band won legions of fans for their extreme speed and socio-political lyrics (another standard of punk bands in the Reagan era). This is very far removed from the catchy pop punk of BLINK 182, and even the unbridled fury of SLAYER and it's not an easy album to listen if you are not a fan of extreme music, but the conviction and sheer power of the music herein are worth the listen.

Superstorm Sandy badly pounded Robert Moses State Park, at the western end of Fire Island. In some areas, the boardwalk is gone; only pilings remain.
The erosion at Fields 4 and 5 is so bad you might not be able to go there next summer. The state parks department is concerned that they are in jeopardy of reopening.
In the meantime, at Jones Beach the sand is still piled up on the boardwalk and crews have been shoveling it out of shops. The flooding also caused sections to severely buckle.
Most of the theater at Jones Beach was also under water. Parts of the plumbing and electrical systems were destroyed and there are mountains of debris. Live Nation, which runs the theater, is working with its insurance provider to pay for repairs.
However, the parks department said all of Jones Beach, including the theater, should be up and running by Memorial Day weekend.
Interestingly, Jones Beach didn't suffer much erosion because the sand from Robert Moses and the rest of Fire Island got swept onto Jones Beach.
Robert Moses should be ready by Memorial Day, too, except for Fields 4 and 5.
Many other state and local parks on Long Island suffered severe damage.

I was so surprised how delicious this is! I used dark cocoa powder. It is RICH and is super creamy. It is much more decadent than your run of the mill chocolate pudding. I will be making this often I think!

Perfect Beckett looks to take series
Boston (41-23) vs. Colorado (32-33), 7:05 p.m. ET
Josh Beckett's quest for a perfect season enters its 64th day on Thursday night.Perfection of this kind is an improbable goal for any starting pitcher, but it's one that Beckett's hero, Roger Clemens, managed to pursue through 14 straight wins at the start of the 1986 season. Clemens is a Yankee now, but he was a Red Sox then: young, driven and hard-throwing. Not so different, in other words, from the next Boston starter to win his first nine decisions in a season: Beckett, now newly efficient and, for much of the season, effortlessly dominant. Beckett spent the first five years of his seven-year professional career in the National League, where he compiled a 3.46 ERA in 609 innings. On Thursday, he faces the Senior Circuit's Colorado Rockies, just six days after shutting down the NL West's Arizona Diamondbacks through eight quiet innings. Beckett last faced Colorado on Aug. 8, 2005, at Coors Field in Denver, where he held the Rockies to two earned runs in six innings. These Rockies are an older, more mature outfit, retaining eight position players from that 2005 team, including Todd Helton and Matt Holliday. The Rockies counter with left-hander Jeff Francis, a former first-round Draft pick who has a 3.81 ERA. Pitching matchup
BOS: RHP Josh Beckett (9-0, 2.88 ERA)
Save for a mid-May DL stint with an avulsion on his pitching hand, Beckett has shown little trouble with American League opponents through two months. With his 10th win, Beckett would jump ahead of several fellow contenders for the All-Star Game starting spot, which includes pitchers like the Angels' John Lackey, Cleveland's C.C. Sabathia and Oakland's Dan Haren, whose 1.58 ERA is the league's best. COL: LHP Jeff Francis (5-5, 3.81 ERA)
Francis had a 6.52 ERA in April but has recovered with a 2.47 ERA and four wins since. In his last start at Baltimore, Francis got the loss, going seven innings and allowing four runs.
Player to watch
Only six current Red Sox have faced Francis. Of them, former Los Angeles Dodger J.D. Drew has three hits in seven at-bats.

Query statement showed up in Navbar – hideable?
Just updated my BP installation to the latest and suddenly a "31 Queries | 38mb" statement is showing beside the Notifications button in the navbar. Clicking on the text does nothing – though the hand appears. I've gone turning off all my plugins trying to see if they affect its visibility , but nope.
So if this is a result of the latest BP upgrade – is it hide able or removable?

BigLaw partner is a Twitter convert
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Jun 24, 2013, 06:05 am CDT
Theodore Boutrous launched his Twitter account just five months ago, but he's already singing its praises.
Boutrous co-chairs the appellate and constitutional law practice group at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. He spoke with Bloomberg about why he is now, in the publication's words, a "Twitter freak."
"It's such a powerful tool," Boutrous said. "I don't think there's a recognition yet in the legal community of just how powerful it is—this isn't some passing toy or some frivolous activity. This is a major dominant source of information sharing."
Boutrous said following others on Twitter gave him access to a "wave of information and discussion and communication." He is able to tap into interests ranging from politics to writing to comedy. He also uses Twitter to communicate with clients.
"Instead of emails around bulletins to our clients, I'm getting real information to my clients in real time," Boutrous told Bloomberg. "I have tweeted about some client matters—I've made sure that's authorized. Any time I'm talking on the record about a case, I'm acting completely consistent with my clients' interests."

Tops at the Taps
During the highly anticipated National Pipe Tapping Contest, drinking water crews get a chance to put their equipment and skills to the test against the clock—and each other.
The battle takes place during the American Water Works Association's 2007 Annual Conference and Exhibition June 24–28 in Toronto. Teams that came out on top in previous regional events meet on the show floor, working in a timed competition to open a cement-lined, pressurized, ductile-iron pipe and install a tap. The contest uses tapping machines, corporation and curb stops, meter yokes, connectors, and tools from Mueller Co.; and wrenches and hammers from Reed Manufacturing Co. Teams consist of no more than four people (three workers and a coach), and each water agency can only enter one men's and one women's team.
During last year's competition, a foursome from Happy Valley, Ore.'s Sunrise Water Authority (SWA) came out on top in the women's contest; their team, who call themselves the SWA "Nitro Bits," beat out three other groups with a time of 2:06:90. Amazingly, none of the SWA competitors—except for coach Larry Gillette—works in the field on a daily basis. However, their practice runs and participation in the competition help the team do their jobs better.
"The contest has given each of us immeasurable experience and knowledge of how our organization works," says team member Gay Fletcher, SWA's human resources coordinator. "We have a better understanding of what goes on in the field, and how hard our crews have to work to keep our system in top condition. It has enabled us to better communicate with each other, and with everyone in our organization."
The SWA Nitro Bits will return to defend their title against two other women's teams. On the men's side, 17 teams, including the returning champions from the Birmingham (Ala.) Water Works Board, will be competing.
In addition to the tapping contest, water workers can show off their knowledge in Top Ops, the "College Bowl" of the water industry. Teams of up to three compete in a test of their water-operation smarts; the winners take home a trophy.
For more information about how you can watch this year's National Pipe Tapping Contest and Top Ops challenges, or throw your hat into the ring for future competitions, visit www.awwa.org.

Pin tucked V neck short dress.
Dress has light weight fabric, cute styling.I went by size chart, and the dress was very big. I had to send it back for a smaller size. It say's relaxed fit, and it is. Otherwise like the dress.

Pin tucked v neck dress
Liked the dress except that it seemed to grow on me as the day worn on. Once it wrinkles it just doesn't look good. Probably because it's linen material.

Not for me
This dress wasn't for me. I thought it was cute but it was too low cut to wear to the office for me. So, I returned it.

Ah, another Happy New Year, and with it comes the familiar sounds of wind howling, bells chiming, carolers singing (okay, maybe that was a week or two ago)…the echoes of laughter from friends and families gathered together…the crackling of a warm fireplace — the sounds, the sounds, the sounds.
Okay, I have sound on my mind, and here's why: We recently conducted a readership survey that asked almost 10,000 subscribers, chosen at random, if they are involved in audio production and/or equipment purchase. I was surprised at the results, not because I don't think we have audio readership, but more because I suppose I didn't realize how many of our readers have involvement in the audio biz on some level.
When we set out to create this magazine as the offspring of Lighting Dimensions and Entertainment Design, our goal was to cover all things in production that have a visual impact on the audience, mostly in live settings. So, was that the right strategy for us to take? I don't know, and it hasn't hurt us yet, but that's not really my point (yes, I'm getting there). The real question is: Is there a place for more extensive sound coverage in every issue of Live Design, as opposed to relegating that editorial to our Theatre Quarterly? And, just as importantly, should that coverage include more than the theatre sound community to encompass concert, event, and club sound, among other areas?
The bottom line is that the results of our survey are statistically significant, but I'd like to hear more from you. Should Live Design consider the production industry as a whole, grouping into one all design, programming, teching, and manufacturing of sound, video, lighting, set, staging, and rigging? Is this the place for them all to be covered side by side? Tell me your opinion at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Oh, don't forget it's that time of year for making resolutions, and I've made one: I've decided to give back a little by joining The ESTA Foundation's Behind the Scenes Committee. Read my update on all of the latest Behind the Scenes activities on p. 12. Remember, it only takes a nanosecond for you or one of your colleagues to become sick or injured and have your whole life suddenly change. Then what happens? Ask Michael K. Maag (see "Letters to the Editor," p. 8). He'll tell you.
A very Happy New Year to you and yours.

Browns rookie report: Week 13
Here's a recap of notable contributions from Browns rookies in Cleveland's 24-10 loss to Baltimore on Sunday.
Final four games could be humbling for Browns
The Browns can't threaten in this division until they fix their offense. That figures to be driven home in the final quarter of the season.
Taylor will start in his season debut against Baltimore after missing eight games.||||||| The massive Taylor underwent offseason surgery after tearing a chest muscle while lifting weights in May. Taylor will start because Ahtyba Rubin will miss his second straight game with a calf injury. Taylor is expected to be limited as the Browns try to win their third straight home game.
Taylor needs surgery to repair a torn chest muscle and will be sidelined for months.||||||| Taylor tore his left pectoral muscle on Thursday lifting weights. Browns coach Pat Shurmur said Taylor, who started all 16 games as a rookie last season, will have an operation next week. Shurmur said Taylor will "miss months, not weeks" but wouldn't speculate if the 335-pounder will miss the 2012 season.
A person familiar with the negotiations says the Cleveland Browns have agreed to terms on a contract with Taylor, their first-round draft pick.||||||| Taylor will immediately report to the Browns, said the person who spoke to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the team has not yet announced the signing. Taylor, the No. 21 overall pick, missed the team's first four practices of training camp in a holdout. The holdup was over a fourth guaranteed season for the rookie, who is expected to start in first-year coach Pat Shurmur's 4-3 system.
After making two trades, the Browns plugged a monstrous hole in their new defensive front by drafting the 6-foot-3, 330-pound Taylor with the No. 27 overall pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday night.||||||| Taylor was dismissed after two seasons at Penn State for off-the-field incidents, but general manager Tom Heckert said the Browns have no concerns about him being a character problem. Taylor didn't go into details about his troubles at Penn State. "I was young, I made a mistake and I've moved on from it," he said. "I went down to Baylor and made the best of a second chance and I'm happy to be here right now."

text: A recent article, the financial media company, Bloomberg, says New Orleans is rolling in cash as the city sees a rebirth, particularly in real estate. According to Bloomberg, New Orleans has become one of the fastest-growing U.S. commercial real estate markets. "And, they are citing item after item that are all in close proximity to the downtown New Orleans area or in downtown," says local real estate expert Wade Ragas. He says much of it remains a result of the rebuilding effort since Hurricane Katrina. But, both Ragas and Bloomberg say more and more people are choosing to live in the city for its quality of life. Bloomberg quotes the owner of a New Orleans-based residential real estate development firm, who calls New Orleans 'sexy, vibrant, and full of life'. Ragas agrees. "Certainly, we're perceived as being a city much larger than we are. We have so many social and cultural activities here. It's much greater than you would typically expect." "And, that's partly because we have so many tourist attractions that are also used by the local residents," says Ragas. "It does give us a unique combination of cultural and social activity for a metro of our relatively small size." Ragas says New Orleans is attracting "persons that enjoy the ambiance in New Orleans, the nightlife, the social character of the city." "Many of the buyers in Lakeview, for example, or the Marigny or in Bywater are folks who have come here from other places and are attracted by the ambiance and the nature of Orleans Parish." This year through May, commercial real estate transactions in New Orleans totaled $424.7 million, up 41 percent from the $301.1 million in all of 2012, according to New York-based Real Capital Analytics Inc. New Orleans was the only U.S. market among 55 tracked by the research firm in which sales have surpassed last year's total. Certainly, says Ragas, the inflow of $120.5 billion in federal money following Katrina has contributed to the construction boom in luxury housing, retail and office projects under way. "Compared to others, at the moment, we're having a stronger recovery than most parts of the country are enjoying," says Ragas. "But, I think that it's important for people to realize that this is just an opportunity. We have to keep working on how to solve our problems...and, in particular, the problems of crime, and the problems of poverty and the problems we have with maintaining and growing the quality of our public schools. But, there is progress. We are moving in the right direction."

ROCKWALL — Rockwall ISD is proving that Rachel's Challenge can change more than students' attitudes; it's a program that can change an entire community.
Hundreds of people took part in 60 events across the city on Saturday, proving it doesn't take long for compassion and service to start a chain reaction.
Whether it's one ramp for one family or a vegetable garden for the entire community, Rachel's Challenge service projects are growing and taking root.
"One person, another person and another person... it is a huge chain reaction," said community garden volunteer Cody Hayes.
It started four years ago as a rally and few charity events around town. Now, the mission known as Students Serving Others has turned into a part of the culture.
Rockwall schools are teaching students to give back, and — in turn — those young people are teaching their parents the core principles of Rachel's Challenge.
"Friendship and compassion and treating other people how you want to be treated," said Rockwall student Lake Johnson.
To make sure everyone got involved, elementary students stuffed duffel bags for local shelter, giving abused children something to make them smile.
Others wrote letters and drew pictures for soldiers serving overseas.
And at the stadium, little feet, fuzzy feet and regular feet circled the track to raise money for Special Olympics.
"We feel like we have needs within our own community," said Rockwall ISD director of counseling Kim West. "What better way for our kids to learn about giving back than to serve those here who they live with and live beside day by day?"
Older kids got messy. They went through barrels of paint to make over a local gymnasium and to brighten the rooms at a the Boys and Girls Club.
"I wanted to do this for my community because it's what is right to do," said volunteer Julia Hale. "It's what I want to do. I don't feel like I need anything back besides knowing this is going to change people's lives."
On Saturday, volunteers worked with the students, proving that when Rockwall serves others, the changes are deeper than just a coat of fresh paint.'
WFAA has teamed up with Rachel's Challenge, a non-profit organization that encourages students through compassion and kindness.
The program was started in honor of Rachel Scott, the first victim in the Columbine shootings.
A a part of our partnership, WFAA will be hosting a town hall meeting: "Beyond Bullying: Empowering Change."
Join News 8 anchor John McCaa on Thursday March 31 at 7 p.m. to get beyond bullying and learn how to empower and improve your child's life.
The event will be at the Utley Middle School Performing Arts Center in Rockwall.

Boston, Mass. - September 28, 2013 - The Springfield College women's volleyball team picked up at three-set victory at Emerson on Saturday afternoon in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) showdown. The Pride won by the scores of 26-24, 25-19, 25-21.
This marked the first time these two teams played as conference opponents, with this being Emerson's first year in the NEWMAC. Springfield is now 12-1, 4-1 in league play while Emerson drops to 10-5, 2-2.
The duo of Tessa Smolinski (Hebron, Conn.) and Lauren Holt (Granby, Conn.) continued their tremendous play of late to fuel the Pride to the conference victory. Smolinski posted a team-high 13 kills to go along with nine digs and three aces, while Holt produced 12 kills at a .550 clip out of the middle while adding a match-best five blocks.
Kerry Purcell (Massapequa, N.Y.) had an especially strong game at right side for the Pride, producing eight kills on 16 errorless swings. Whitney Miller (Cuba, N.Y.) posted a double-double with 37 assists and 10 digs in leading Springfield to a .308 hitting percentage for the afternoon. Defensively, Meghan Kinee (Williamstown, N.J.) recorded 10 digs.
The Pride will play another conference match on Tuesday night when it hosts Wheaton at 7:00 pm.

Silver Spring's new library will have more than just a zip code in common with one of Montgomery County's last big construction projects in the area—it will have the same builder. The county's general services department announced Wednesday that Columbia, MD-based Costello Construction, the firm behind the Silver Spring Civic Building, was chosen to construct the new facility.
Costello was one of nine companies pre-approved by the government to make a bid for the project, Patch reported in July.
The Silver Spring Library building, located at the corner of Wayne Avenue and Fenton Street, will be five stories high and 90,000-square-feet. The library will occupy the third, fourth and fifth floors of the facility. The county wants to lease the basement and first two floors to Pyramid Atlantic, a nonprofit arts group, with the agreement that regular workshops and classes for the public will be offered, according to a release from county government.
The library will feature meeting rooms, a disability resource center, a computer lab, a study room and tutoring and program rooms for children. The building will include an art gallery on the first floor and a coffee bar. Designers have also planned to create an entrance to the Silver Spring Purple Line station inside of the building.
About $69.5 million was approved by the county council for the project, which is expected to be LEED Silver-certified, the third-highest score given by the United States Green Building Council for energy conservation and environmentally friendly design and construction.
The library, which broke ground August 2010, is in the second phase of construction, which is estimated to take about two years to complete, according to county officials.

Exercise 4 Allometric Equations
Problem: You need allometric relations established for a species for which you have no direct information, but the site index and fraction of light that penetrates through the canopy at ages 20, 70, and 150 years and yield tables that relate diameter to stem volume.
Solution: Use published volume tables to create allometric relations between stem diameter and tree mass, and determine appropriate relation between stem diameter and growth in foliage through simulations with 3-PG.
The LAI values were obtained using Beer's Law and measured values of photosynthetically active radiation absorbed (fPAR) by a pure canopy of Douglas-fir, where
fPAR = 1-e –(k)(LAI); Example, If k = 0.5, LAI =6, then e-3.0 = 0.05 of PAR penetrates through canopy, fPAR = 1-0.05 = 0.95.
Use the following sequence of values and select the pair that best fit measured LAI and Stem Volume increment from Year 20-Year 160.
pFS2 pFS20 pFS2 pFS20
1.5 1.0 1.2 0.6
1.3 0.8 1.1 0.5
E. Record conventional form of allometric equation that predicts Foliage Mass, (kg)
as a function of stem diameter (b) in cm = (aF)*(bnF). Record derived parameters here:
Foliage Mass, kg =0.1484*(dia.,cm)^2.167.

As of about 9 a.m. today, the Harvey Cedars Office of Emergency Management has asked all residents who are remaining in the area to report to High Point Firehouse "to be transported off the island immediately," due to "rapidly deteriorating" conditions.
Sections of Long Beach Island and Stafford were seeing sustained winds around 35 miles per hour as of 7:30 a.m. this morning and pockets of flooding, according to police.
On their Facebook page, Harvey Cedars police wrote: "we are experiencing areas where the ocean has breached over and has met the Boulevard."
Eyewitnesses noted this morning that back bay flooding is high in certain areas of the island, and that the ocean has breached the dunes in certain areas of Loveladies and North Beach.
In a press release from Stafford Police, Lt. Tom Dellane reported that "numerous roads in the Cedar Bonnet Island, Mud City, Mallard Island and Beach Haven West sections of town are currently flooded and impassable. Emergency workers are currently providing evacuation assistance in these areas to residents who are impacted by the flooding." Police are asking residents to stay off roadways to allow emergency workers access to affected areas.
Ocean City already has surpassed Hurricane Irene in terms of water level. Recent readings are at 5.1 feet at the Bayside Center, and Irene's top tide was about 4.5 feet.
Harvey Cedars Chief Thomas Preiser and Coast Guard Barnegat Light Jay O. Greiner told Patch they are mostly concerned about Monday, around 8 p.m., when the high tide is expected, along with steady, strong winds.
Preiser said that there have been pockets of flooding reported throughout the island, including the main circle that serves as the entrance to Long Beach Island. The eastbound lane has been shut down to oncoming traffic, but the westbound lane to the Causeway bridge was still passable around 6 p.m. Sunday, Preiser said.

Jeff Siegel's Santa Anita Analysis (Sat., Sept. 29, 2012)
A truly great card for the first Saturday of the Santa Anita Autumn season; the 11-race program is loaded with quality, good sized fields, and many lucrative wagering opportunities including a Pick-6 carryover of $55, 260.
We always love the blinkers off angle and Buckleberry Grey is the perfect candidate to take full advantage of the equipment change in today's opener. The Hofmans-trained colt was part of a suicidal speed duel in the Oak Tree Juvenile Turf Stakes at Del Mar earlier this month yet remained a strong factor until deep stretch before understandably weakening. Back with maidens today and switching to the main track, the son of Unbridled's Song should relax much better sans the hood. However, the one to beat may very well be the second time starter Title Contender. Third in a better-than-par maiden sprint in his debut, he's very likely to step forward for Baffert, whose second time starting maidens almost always improve.
The second race, a bottom rung maiden claimer, is a mess; use as many as you can afford to in rolling exotic play. Hard to say if Rothstein can run, but after being wiped out at the start in his debut, he was never asked to show anything; today we'll find out if he has anything to give. Danger Lurking, third in both starts, adds blinkers today so he could move forward for Ellis, and not much improvement will actually be needed in this soft affair. Awkward Mondays drops from straight maidens to the bottom level; on that angle alone we'll include him, too
The third race brings back Press Baron, who took full advantage of a perfect trip to beat a $50,000 claiming field at Del Mar recently but did so with authority. He ran okay over this course last winter in allowance company and might be a better type now. We like him on top but we'll double the race in our rolling exotics while also including Dreamcatcher, who returns to his preferred turf surface while switching to Gomez.
The two fillies we'll be using in the fourth race both have the same pattern – they're second time starters coming off promising debut efforts. Madame Cactus ran the better of the pair and earned the faster figure, so she deserves top billing. The Eurton-trained daughter of Cactus Ridge rallied wide and closed with courage to be an excellent runner-up in a hot race at Del Mar and retains Talamo. Fiftyshadesofhay was given a run in her debut and you know what second time Baffert maidens usually do. She's drawn nicely outside, retains Bejarano, and figures to show her best stuff today.
The fifth race is a restricted $25,000 claiming turf affair and looks completely wide open; we'll try to survive going three deep but you may find the need to use a few more. God of War, claimed in his last pair and now in the Sadler barn, looked super graduating against an outclassed maiden claiming field two races back but failed to duplicate that effort vs. tougher winners; we'll assume he'll return to good form today for a barn that hits with 33% first off the claim while producing a flat-bet profit. Mr. Make Believe drops into a claimer for the first time and seems sure to improve for Mandella while retaining Gomez. The Rock Hard Ten gelding is a fit on numbers and can turn it on late when he gets the patient ride he requires. Muchos Besos, third off the layoff for Puype and with improving speed figures, is another likely to go better in this league.
It's tempting to single Executiveprivilege in the sixth race; she's undefeated and continues to excel in the morning. The two turn trip should be well within her range and, hey, it's Baffert and Bejarano. But don't underestimate Beholder; she lost the Del Mar Debutante by a whisker after a rough start while continuing her rapid rise up the class ladder. She has done everything right in the morning since that race, retains Gomez, and once again looks like the controlling speed. Given the discrepancy in odds, we'll prefer Beholder on top but, of course, we'll use both in our rolling exotics.
Know More won the Best Pal Stakes in his debut, but two fillies were behind him so it was tough to gauge just how strong that race was. His subsequent runner-up effort in the Del Mar Futurity was actually more impressive and verified the promise he showed in his debut. In today's Frontrunner Stakes, the son of Lion Heart should step forward again. Capo Bastone was so impressive in his maiden win but a tad below form when a traffic-plagued fourth in the Futurity behind Know More. He certainly deserves another chance. Power Broker is improving with racing and has numbers that make him a fit despite his maiden status. Toss in the Baffert-Bejarano factor and you simply have to use him.
In the Zenyatta Stakes, carded as the eighth race, we like Amani. She tackled the boys in the Pacific Classic and wound up sixth but she earned her reputation on dirt in Chile and today gets back on what probably is her favorite surface. With the switch to Bejarano, she most likely will offer the best value in the field. Include Me Out won the Grade 1 Clement L. Hirsch at Del Mar and earned a career top Beyer (99) figure; still, we're of the opinion that she prefers dirt and can do even better with the return to Santa Anita, where she was so dominant last winter. Love and Pride picks up 10 lbs. off her Personal Ensign upset score at Saratoga; she's clearly the controlling speed and we doubt Pletcher would have shipped her west unless she was on top of her game.
Not sure what got into Let's Go Cheyenne in that overnight turf stakes at Del Mar last month but the dyed-in-the-wool front runner simply demolished her rivals while dominating every step of the way and winning with something left. The Rodeo Drive Stakes, which goes as the ninth race, presents a tougher assignment but she'll be on the front end again and if they don't respect her she'll keep on going again. Marketing Mix is drawn farther out than we'd prefer - that's' a tough dogleg to negotiate from the 11-hole – but there's no doubt the Midwest shipper is good enough to win and in fact will be hard to beat with anything close to her best race. Let's use both in our rolling exotics.
Game on Dude will be everybody's short-priced rolling exotic single in the tenth race, the Awesome Again Stakes, and deservedly so. He looked tremendous in his most recent drill last Sunday, disposing of his workmate with ease and drawing clear through the lane with power and energy to indicate he's spot on as usual. From the rail and with Bejarano taking over, the Baffert-trained gelding catches an ideal scenario and should draft into a perfect pace prompting position. And yes, he's a perfect 4-for-4 over the Santa Anita main track.
Sophomore fillies sprint down the hill in the finale, a restricted stakes that came up fairly strong. Madoffwiththemoney might seem a tad overmatched on paper but she's worth including at a price. Possibly the speed of the speed and with a good effort at Del Mar in her only outing on lawn, the Miyadi-trained filly is thoroughly genuine and consistent and will take them as far as she can. Byrama, clearly most effective as a late-running sprinter, lost little when second to the very quick Reneesgotzip at Del Mar over the poly track and today returns to a course she's proven she can handle. Bejarano always has gotten the most run out of her and is back aboard today. Wild Truffles is back sprinting and this is really what she wants to do. The Powell-trained filly continues to look sharp in the a.m. and offers value at 15-1 on the morning line.

LOS ANGELES -- Nationals right-hander Chien-Ming Wang more than likely made his last rehab start on Sunday afternoon. He lasted five innings for Triple-A Syracuse and allowed four runs on eight hits against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Wang threw 96 pitches, with 63 for strikes.
If his arm feels OK on Monday, Wang more than likely will be taken off the disabled list and is tentatively scheduled to pitch against the Mets on Friday at Nationals Park. It would be Wang's first big league appearance since 2009, when he was with the Yankees.
Wang has missed two seasons because of shoulder problems. He has been with the Nationals since last season, and has yet to pitch in a big league game.
If Wang is back in the rotation as scheduled, it would mean someone must be taken off.
When asked if left-hander Tom Gorzelanny was in danger of losing his spot in the rotation, after he lasted three innings and allowed five runs against the Dodgers on Saturday night, manager Davey Johnson said, "I'm not really thinking about that right now. I just have a few bad memories, but we'll be fine. It was just a bad outing for a couple of guys."
Corrales impressed with Lombardozzi
LOS ANGELES -- Nationals bench coach Pat Corrales has been impressed with second baseman Stephen Lombardozzi -- and for good reason.
Entering Sunday's action, Lombardozzi was hitting .348 with three home runs and 17 RBIs for Triple A Syracuse. Corrales predicts Lombardozzi will play in the big leagues.
"He is a very smart young man," Corrales said. "If you watch him for two days, you see other guys you want on your team over him. But then you watch him for two weeks, and he is the one you want.
"He does things to help the team win. He bunts, plays great defense, hits behind the runners. His dad was a big league baseball player, so he has been schooled playing baseball, and taught how the game should be played. He is bound to make his move."
There has been speculation that Lombardozzi will be in the big leagues soon, and become Washington's leadoff hitter and play second base -- while Danny Espinosa would switch to shortstop. But a baseball source said the Nationals like what they have now with Espinosa and shortstop Ian Desmond as their double-play combination.
Nix still having problems with Achilles
LOS ANGELES -- With right-hander Chad Billingsley starting for the Dodgers on Sunday, it would usually mean outfielder Laynce Nix would be in the starting lineup for the Nationals.
However, Nix was given the day off because he aggravated his right Achilles on Saturday night against Los Angeles.
In the ninth inning, with runners on first and second with one out, Dodgers shortstop Rafael Furcal swung at a 2-0 pitch from right-hander Ryan Mattheus and hit the ball over the head of Nix, who dove for the ball before it dropped in for a game-winning double.
The video showed Nix limping toward the dugout after the game ended. The injury is not considered serious. Manager Davey Johnson is hoping that Nix can play on Tuesday against the Marlins.
