The new express bus between Johnston County and Raleigh often makes the trip with no riders.
And though ridership is growing on the new JCX commuter route, transportation officials don't know if the bus route will continue after the state finishes rebuilding the Raleigh beltline.
Triangle Transit created the JCX express route to ease the strain on commuters during the beltline project, dubbed Fortify, which will close multiple lanes each way until the project wraps up in 2016.
The bus started in the middle of last December. In January 2014, the first full month of service, total ridership was 674. By May, ridership had increased 30 percent to 877 people, said Brad Schulz, spokesman for Triangle Transit. But the full daily capacity of the route is 560 people, or about 17,000 riders a month.
The first phase of Fortify is underway on three miles of Interstate 440 between the I-40 split and the U.S. 64-264. The second, longer phase will stretch from the I-40 split to the U.S. 64 interchange in Cary.
That's when Schulz expects ridership on the express route to really pick up. "We've seen a steady increase in riders, but believe once the project shifts to I-40 later this year, more motorists will begin to feel the pinch of construction and fewer lanes they can use," he said.
"We expect ridership to continue to grow on the JCX," Schulz added, "and we'll be adding other Fortify-related routes to provide more options for commuters."
The Johnston-Raleigh express route runs Monday through Friday, from 6 to 9:20 a.m. and 3:40 to 7 p.m. It has one stop in Johnston County, the Walmart parking lot in the Cleveland community, and two stops in Raleigh, at Moore Square Station and at the corner of Edenton and Wilmington streets. In December, Triangle Transit will add a temporary express bus from Clayton to downtown Raleigh.
Even with the growing ridership, some buses still travel between Raleigh and Johnston County with no one but the driver on board. Most people ride between 7 and 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m., but many of those buses have just a handful of people.
Johnston County commissioners have said they are interested in expanding public transportation beyond the handful of vans that crisscross the county now but only if the investment makes sense. When JCX first started, commissioners said the route could be a test case for future public transportation.
"If it's beneficial, then certainly we would want to take advantage of that," said Jeff Carver, chairman of the Johnston County Board of Commissioners. But "I don't know that there's enough data to make a decision."
"I'm a firm believer in a certain amount of public transportation," Carver added, "but I just need to see the data and the numbers on what the ridership is, what the cost and the benefit analysis would be on something like this."
The N.C. Department of Transportation is paying for JCX, Schulz said, and the money is coming out of the Fortify budget. "At the end of the three-year construction period, the service could end if there is no source of funding to continue it," Schulz said.
The route cost about $864,284 to start up and run this year. Operating the route all three years of Fortify will cost about $2 million.
For now, the cost to ride is $2.50, but on June 25, the Triangle Transit Board of Trustees was scheduled to vote on a fare increase, the first in 10 years, Schulz said.
"If approved, the cost of an express pass will rise from $2.50 to $3," he said. "Other fares will also rise, but discount rates will continue to apply to provide a break for those wanting to buy more than a single-trip express pass."
Roosevelt Riles is one of the bus drivers for the JCX route. He said about 10 people ride the bus on the first trip of the day to Raleigh, but the next trips are often empty.
"I've had a couple people, several people really, ask me when I first started this route, did I know if they were going to keep it," Riles said. "And they said that they sure hope it stays around. They enjoy the ride in the morning – saves them from driving into Raleigh."
Riles said the traffic is bad enough to draw people to the bus, where they can read their paper, drink their coffee and relax.
"Especially in the morning, it's real bad out here," he said. "When they get to work they're not all keyed up from the drive."

This year's Entertainment Design lighting products of the year represent the most diverse lineup of gear ever, from the refinement of the most basic source of all lighting to the most technically sophisticated moving light the industry has ever seen. Our panel of judges was equally diverse, representing veteran lighting designers and technicians from around the world. The winners have applications in everything from basic community theatre productions to sleek themed retail environments to complex, high-tech corporate events.
This scrolling image projector, which can project colored images, special effects, and graphics produced from any standard ink-jet or laser printer, is an ideal set design option for both small-budget theatrical productions and large-scale events. The FineLite uses a special cooling system and lens configuration along with the brand-new lamp housing from Selecon, and offers a fixed-image plate and a scrolling image module which can accommodate over twenty 4" x 4" frames. The judges liked the "extremely sharp image" the projector created and applauded its low cost.
Gary Fails' tireless efforts to bring this product to the market have paid off. The AutoYoke is a DMX-controlled yoke that can transform any ETC Source Four or Strand SL into a moving light. The unit features 16-bit pan and tilt, iris, and focus, and can control virtually any scroller via a single DMX line. The AutoYoke was designed with a minimum number of moving pieces and a sophisticated power supply, and there are no fans. "Quiet, quiet, quiet," raved the judges. Expect to see this in theatres everywhere.
Leave it to Joe Tawil to reinvent the wheel. The GAM Torch is a smokeless, odorless torch that creates a flame height of up to 16" and has an automatic safety release latch that instantly snuffs out the flames when performers release their grip on the handle. The unit uses clean-burning GAMfuel pellets, which are loaded into the fire chamber; the number of pellets inserted determines the duration of the flame. You may deem this an odd choice for a lighting product of the year, but in many ways, the torch was the original moving light.
This sleek little number, designed for projecting high resolution black-and-white images and single- and multicolor patterns in retail, exhibit, themed, and corporate applications, combines the ability to project any combination of two metal and/or glass patterns with a proprietary self-locking zoom lens system. Judges cited easy access to the fixture's MR-16 lamp and its design aesthetic as two of its strongest points. "This is a fixture you can hang openly and it looks really good," says one.
Three built-in color touchscreens are what separates this console from the others. The GrandMA's TFT-Touch Displays are adjustable and offer fast access to single channels, groups, presets, interactive output sheets, and various other display options for running programs. An additional two external monitors can be used for additional display of groups, presets, and immediate access to channel information. Programs can be changed easily and many lists can be organized as spreadsheets with complete flexibility over the information in each data field or column.
Judges took special notice of the Icon M's "ground-breaking technology." Duh! The Icon M is quite possibly the most significant advance in moving light technology since the advent of the moving light itself. The luminaire replaces mechanical devices with software-controllable, solid-state digital mirror array. Familiar automated lighting attributes like intensity, iris, shutters, and gobos are fully implemented using something called Digital Light Processing (DLP)(TM), and yet can be controlled in real time. If you can create an image on a computer, you can download it immediately and project it out of the fixture. As one noted lighting designer said at LDI, "The Icon M has changed my life."

It is beginning to feel a little Alfred Hitchcocky at my house. Several weeks ago, I found a bird had built a nest in the hole in the side of the house where the dryer vents. No wonder the clothes weren't getting dry.
I made Spouse dig the nest out, because I didn't have the heart to wreck a nest, especially if it had eggs in it. He didn't want to do it either, but since I deemed it man work, he had no choice.
Then early in the week I walked into the kitchen one morning to find the cat terribly interested in something by the sliding glass doors. Just as I stopped to ask her what she was doing (Yes, I talk to cats.), what I thought was a bat came flying at my head, swooped over me and landed in the corner on top of the cabinets where a bulkhead would be if I had one.
Upon closer inspection, I was somewhat relieved to learn it wasn't a bat, but a bird; a boat tail grackle, to be exact. After I shrieked at the thing flying at my head, then discussed with myself what on earth was dive-bombing me, I decided to take action. I put both cats in the bathroom and opened the sliding door all the way. Then I calmly asked the bird to please leave.
Surprisingly, that method didn't work. At a loss as to what my next action in bird eradication should be, I went and got Spouse out of bed. Getting a bird out of the house seems like man work. I asked him what to do, and he told me to throw a towel over it. I handed him a towel. When he reached toward the bird, it took off like a shot and managed to find the open door.

Split Decision
Anglers targeting sailfish commonly deploy pin-rigged, unweighted ballyhoo from outriggers as skipping surface baits, and pin-rigged ballyhoo with chin weights occupy flat-line spots on many boats. But McGrath's favorite bait is the split-bill ballyhoo.
"The split-bill isn't much harder to rig than a pin rig but swims much better and without a large chin weight," says McGrath. Held in position by the leader and rigging wire, the ballyhoo's bill digs into the water like the lip on a diving plug. Careful rigging is required because, like a diving plug, if the bill isn't fine-tuned, the bait doesn't swim correctly. McGrath also recommends using fresh ballyhoo because "it may take 15 minutes to get a frozen bait to swim correctly because it's not as limber as a fresh one; if you only have frozen ballyhoo, it's worth the time to get them running properly."
Since the split-bill ballyhoo is primarily a billfish bait, McGrath uses only mono leaders. "You can rig it on wire, but that requires a heavier chin weight. The wire and lead make the bait sink too fast on the drop-back, and billfish lose interest," he explains. "Besides," he warns, "this isn't a good rig for kingfish or wahoo because they tend to cut the bait right behind the hook, which is placed close to the head. If you're after toothy critters, use a double-hook rig on a wire leader."
McGrath deploys split-bill ballyhoo from the flat-line position and stresses the importance of using clips to keep lines at an angle low to the water because this bait doesn't swim well when trolled directly from the rod tip. "It also works on outriggers," says McGrath, "but you need a heavier chin weight. You also have to keep the rigger clips low."
Just Skip It
Blue-water trolling in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, often produces double-digit sailfish days. Although anglers in Rio use dead ballyhoo exclusively, I spent nine seasons there without seeing a single chin weight. Skip baits perform so well that nobody bothers to rig swimming ballyhoo.
Capt. Eduardo Baumeier, who has garnered several first- and second-place finishes in local Rio tournaments as well as registered billfish catches of 5- and 10-to-one on his Kabira, rigs skipping ballyhoo in a quick, no-nonsense manner: After pushing the point of a 7/0 long-shanked hook under the gills and out the belly, run copper rigging wire up through the hook eye and out the ballyhoo's top jaw. A little practice makes it easy to hit the "soft spot" in the jaw's hinge. Pull half the wire up through the ballyhoo's jaws, then fold it back down and through the hook eye again. Fold both ends of the wire up, one on each side of the bait's head, while maintaining pressure to hold the hook in place, then twist the ends together to secure. Finish by wrapping the wire around the beak and leader, then snap off the beak.
Baumeier trolls a spread of these rigs at 4 to 6 knots for sailfish and says the trick is to slow down in rough conditions to keep the baits from bouncing rather than skimming the surface.
Unlike Baumeier, Pumo prefers rigging skip baits by threading copper wire through the ballyhoo's eye sockets, thus holding the gill plates shut, before wrapping down the beak. He also recommends a short-shanked hook like the Mustad 9174. "Billfish usually swallow a bait head-first, and this hook results in a better hookup rate," says Pumo, adding, "This rig is a favorite of my customers in the mid-Atlantic and Venezuela, where they target white marlin."

Question reblogged from I Need the Food So That I Can Swan Queen with 84 notes
crazycat9449 said: the hair is absolutely gorgeous in that episode. FTT comes close, but Vendetta, gasp.
That's because science. Yes science. Let me introduce you to "Myka Bering hair"-ology. The science of Myka Bering's hair.
Here we have a picture of Myka Bering in Vendetta:
What we can see here is the perfect ratio of length/ curls/ loose streaks that tell you she just woke up like that this morning and didn't have to do anything for her hair looking this perfect, okay?
In For The Team, Myka's hair has more of these loose streaks. Now you actually start believing her she might actually have woken up with her hair like this. She looks glorious: Her hair wild and unruly, suggesting she's the adventurous type:
Here, we have Myka in Merge With Caution:
Her curls look perfect. Perfectly curly curls. Cute curly curly curls. Real curl. Cute Curl. Those curls say 'I am cute'! That's why she looks so cute. God! Myka is so cute in this one. *Kermit flail*
What I wanted to say is that her curls look absolutely glorious and suggest that she's also really cute (which she absolutely is, let's be honest).
And then there is Dubed:
Alice!Myka liked her hair shorter. Which makes her curls go 'sproing!' and she looks more confident. That's science.
In Vendetta, Myka's hair is a perfect mix of her hair in For The Team, Merge with Caution, and Dubed:
Which leas us to the conclusion:
Perfect Myka hair = Length (Sproing!) + Cute curls + Perfectly placed streaks
Hair (Vendetta) = Hair (Dubed) + Hair (Merge With Caution) + Hair (For The Team)
And that's science. I'm a scientist. Trust me.
Thank you for your attention.

WAREHOUSE 13 - Breakdown

Photo reblogged from Champion of Procrastination with 158 notes
The name's Wells. H.G. Wells.
For the scene I lifted, see this.
"I'm the money," the stunning, impeccably dressed brunette with shrewd green eyes and a self-assure smile said without preamble as she tossed her purse into the next seat.
Wells didn't bother to hide the appreciative glance. After all, the woman was wearing perfectly tailored clothes that accented her lean figure and if that purse she treated so casually hadn't cost at least a thousand dollars, the agent would eat her jacket.
"Every penny of it," Wells murmured, falling easily into the camouflage of innuendo laden banter.
Her new companion, however, merely responded with the most subtle eye roll Wells had ever seen, turning what should have been a childish gesture into a sophisticated rebuttal.
Wells felt a grin tugging her lips. This one was going to be fun.
"The treasury has agreed to stake you in the game," the other woman continued, not phased in the least as she slid a simple white business card across the table. Wells took a moment to appreciate the slender elegance of the fingers holding the slip of paper before reading what was written in familiar gold lettering under the stamp of the Royal Treasury.
"Myka Bering."
"Myka," Wells eyebrow quirked. "I imagine you got quite a lot of hell for that in your school days."
And once again, the agent found herself ignored. Instead Ms. Bering merely thanked the waiter with a polite smile and turned to her menu.
"Your boss must be quite well connected," Myka said casually. "I've never seen quite so much walk out the door quite so quickly."
"Or so stylishly," Helena tossed back, her tone and posture equally casual. They were, after all, merely two people on a train.
Full lips graced Wells' direction with another polite smile, subtly acknowledging the compliment, but Bering did not reply. The agent did not often find her charms so utterly ineffective and she found it moderately intriguing. "May I ask where it is," she asked, toying gently with her scotch and rocks. Her eyes, however, never left Ms. Bering's face.
Partly because she needed to read Myka's reactions, and partly because Ms. Bering had a most lovely face and Wells had no compunction about enjoying the view while it was so generously afforded to her.
"10 million was wired to your account in Montenegro, with a contingency for five more, if I deem it a prudent investment," Bering replied easily, glancing up from her menu. Helena decided she liked the other woman's voice. Clear and steady, with a pleasing tenor. "I suppose you've given some thought to the notion that if you lose, our government will have directly financed terrorism." And the way she said it, so delightfully pointed, made it very clear that Myka Bering was of the opinion Agent Wells damn well should have been thinking about it.
For the first time, Helena had no answer.
Nor apparently had Bering been expecting one, because she turned back to the menu almost immediately. "What looks good?"
Dinner was unsurprisingly pleasant. They talked of insignificant things while they ate. The food was excellent. Helena barely noticed it. As the train raced on through the evening gloom, she found herself truly enjoying simply watching Ms. Bering's face, her mouth, her elegant hands. It wasn't often one was allowed such attractive company, after all.
And then, because it was bound to, the conversation turned to poker.
Helena had learned to play poker in the back rooms of Irish pubs where an English accent might well get you killed, forget simply being thrown out. The upcoming game was, for her, merely another mission, not even particularly noteworthy but for her current monetary caretaker.
"So you're telling me it's a matter of probability and odds," Myka leaned forward, for just a moment showing what might have been genuine interest. In the soft golden light of the train's car, her eyes sparkled like Emeralds. "I was worried there was chance involved."
Helena finished pouring them both another glass of wine. "Hmm only if you assume the player with the best hand wins."
Myka rested her chin on one hand, her expression somewhere between teasing and challenging. "So that would be what you call bluffing?"
Now it was Helena's turn to raise an eyebrow. "You've heard the term. Then you'll know that in poker you almost never play your hand. You play the man across from you."
"And you're good at reading people." It wasn't a question.
"Yes I am." Helena didn't hesitate. "Which is why I've been able to detect and undercurrent of sarcasm in your voice."
"Ah, well now I'm assured our money is in good hands." Her voice was richer somehow, when she was deliberating bating Helena. Wells smiled inwardly.
"You don't think this is a very good plan, do you?"
"Oh so there is a plan? I got the impression we were risking millions of dollars and hundreds of lives, on a game of luck. What else can you surmise Miss Wells?"
The scenery outside the train, the other occupants of the car, all of it had long since faded for Helena. A startling lapse given that situational awareness was drilled into agents like her from the first day of training. But Helena couldn't bring herself to care. The darkness outside created the illusion that she and Myka were alone in their own little world, and this sarcastic, biting wit the agent found herself engaged against drew her like a moth to a flame. That said wit was housed in the body of a stunningly beautiful woman just added to Helena's delight.
"About you Miss Bering?" Helena leaned forward ever so slightly. She never had been one to back away from a challenge, and Myka had thrown the gauntlet. "Well your beauty is a problem. You worry you won't be taken seriously."
The scoff in Myka's voice was clear. "Which one can say of any attractive woman with half a brain."
"True," Helena volleyed back. "But this one overcompensates by wearing slightly masculine clothing, stunningly tailored though it is and being more aggressive than her female colleagues. All of which gives her a slightly….prickly demeanor…And ironically enough makes it less likely for her to be accepted and promoted by her male superiors, who mistake her insecurities for arrogance."
Myka's expression was the same, half-amused mask that she'd worn for most of the night, but Helena was beginning to see what lay under that mask. She was hitting close to home.
"Now i'd have normally gone with only child, but by the way you ignored that quip about your parents, I'm going to have to go with orphan."
Helena settled back, waiting to have her theories proven or disproven. She wasn't sure why she was surprised when the tables were turned on her.
"All right," Myka pursed her lips briefly. "By the cut of your suit you went to Oxford or wherever, and actually think humans dress like that. But you wear it with such disdain. My guess is you didn't come from money and your school friends never let your forget it."
Helena's hand twitched below the table. The only reaction she allowed herself as the memories - and the sting they still carried - came flooding back. Oh yes, Ms. Bering was right on target. But Myka wasn't done just yet.
"Which means you were at that school by the grace of someone else's charity. Hence the chip on your shoulder. And since your first thought about me was orphan, that's what I'd say you are."
Helena's jaw clenched slightly and she cursed herself inwardly for the slip.
"Oh you are," Myka said with an amount of delight Helena would have found unseemly if it weren't also so damnably arousing. It wasn't often someone could strip her history bare and serve it to her on a platter. Most people - men or women - never got past her face, or her body, and she used them both like weapons.
How long had it been since someone had challenged her mind?
"And that makes perfect sense," Myka continued, apparently not aware of the quit detour of Helena's thoughts. "Because MI-6 looks for mal-adjusted young men and women who give little thought to sacrificing themselves and others in the name of Queen and Country. You know, former secret service types with easy smiles and expensive watches."
As if to drive home her point, Myka looked directly at where Helena's watch hand rested under the table. "Rolex?" she queried.
"Omega," Helena replied easily. Now that she knew what was happening, it was easier for her to simply sit back and take the beating. After all, the agent supposed she had it coming. And from such a beautiful source…she couldn't truly be that sorry.
"Beautiful," Myka said, and her voice made the word into a sin Helena wanted to commit.
"Now, having just met you, I wouldn't go so far as to call you a cold-hearted bitch."
"No, of course not," Helena almost smiled, following the line of Myka's attack easily.
"But it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine you think of women as disposable pleasures and not meaningful pursuits. So as charming as you are, Ms. Wells, I will be keeping my eye on our government's money, and off your perfectly formed ass."
"You noticed," Helena acceded, secretly flattered despite herself.
"Even accountants have imaginations," Myka shot back archly.
And with that, Myka stood, gathering up her purse.
Helena stood with her, confirming her suspicion that the other woman was just a hair taller in her low heels, and that her legs truly did seem to go on forever.
"How was your lamb?" Myka asked breezily, slipping back into their personas of just two people on the train.
"Skewered," Helena answered, seeing no reason not to accede the victory where it was so richly due. "One sympathizes."
Myka Bering's smile in return was something H.G. Wells would not soon forget.
"Good evening, Miss. Wells."
"Good evening, Miss. Bering."
And then, despite feeling rather as though she'd been dragged through the ringer, Helena had the unalloyed pleasure of watching Miss Bering walk away.
"Speaking of a perfectly formed ass," she muttered to herself before sitting back down and taking a hearty sip of her wine.
H.G. Wells' mission had just become significantly more interesting.

Best part of the episode for me. Myka!Dagger Research Papers.
Is this Joanne's way of subtext? Putting her mouth in something H.G must've touched before
If this is all Bering&Wells we're having, I'll take it.
i just see it as myka being so quick to absorb info and get right into a case, she ignores social decorum and will hold things in her mouth. but your idea is more awesome.
Your theory is way more likely though - it's definetely in character for her to forget about decorum just so she can learn the info quicker ^^
(As much as I love Myka putting things HG might have touched in her mouth) I agree ^ this was really classic Myka. Especially in the face of a crisis. Everything else going on around her just gets pushed aside for a few minutes. She has to know what is in those papers. Not only because it might provide some kind of answer, some kind of possibility for a way out of this horrible, horrible situation, but because for just a few seconds, mere heartbeats, while she's reading, absorbing, learning…she's not hurting. That's all she gets - just a heartbeat or two - but she'll cling to it like a drowning man to a piece of wood.
The notes are probably written in Helena's elegant handwriting though, which just means that the connection is all the more powerful. She can imagine Helena bent over a desk, a pile of research material (or a computer) at one side of her while she scribbles notes. And that knowledge just makes the sense of loss when she looks up and comes out of that "moment" all the more painful. Because for just an instant, Myka was with her, with Helena, learning what she learned, seeing the connections she saw…their minds racing apace, even separated by distance and time…
And then the moment was gone, she'd finished the notes, and Helena was taken from her…again.

So, what if Myka *did* notice HG right then, but didn't say anything, and they'll be using Myka's knowing that HG was there as a plot device in future episodes…
Oh, a month ago, I would've been all over the Spec train on this one…Not as eager to go there now…
Cause, cause…(dammit)…Myka is the one who notices things. She sees the details. It's her thing. So how could she not register this? When they showed her doing her thing with the Tully's Gym clues in the very same episode?
But there also have been several instances where they had people being artificially dumber than they are to further the plot, too, so I'm not as convinced that it's not just another instance of that, now…(I'd love to be wrong about that tho).

dude they can't kill Jeri Ryan's character off and deprive us a chance to see her in uniform again. That's just inhumane

FORT WORTH -- A Fort Worth man was arrested two weeks ago after allegedly robbing a credit union and leading Burleson Police on a high-speed chase.
Burleson police provided News 8 with two clips of dashcam video Friday showing parts of the eight-minute pursuit, the wreck, and an ensuing foot chase.
On February 9, police say Bentley Jenkins wore a towel over his head as he demanded the teller for cash at the EECU Credit Union on Alsbury Boulevard in Burleson.
Burleson police Commander Cindy Aaron said the bank tellers identified Jenkins as the man who drove away in an older-model silver Lancer and was headed to Interstate 35W.
"One of the officers was sitting in the southbound side and spotted a silver Lancer pass by," Aaron said.
Police tell us Jenkins was easily going over 90 mph. He tried twice to duck officers by getting on the service roads. The first time, he nearly spun out of control, but redirected. The second time he got on, he put more people at risk. Police were forced to weave through stopped traffic.
"He would drive on the right shoulder of the road, and then cross through traffic on the left shoulder of the road," Aaron said.
At one point shown on the dashcam video, a truck pulled in front of the lead police car, forcing it to a near-stop and causing police to lose a lot of ground. Speeds topped out at 118 mph just to keep up.
"Our policy directs our officers only to engage in pursuit for a violent crime or a felony crime, not for a misdemeanor or traffic violation," Aaron said.
Jenkins would later turn on County Road 917. It is there he took a sharp left curve while dodging traffic, lost control and slammed into a ditch.
Video from a second patrol car showed Jenkins running from his car with an officer not far behind. Jenkins was arrested and taken to a hospital for chest pains.
Police wouldn't say how much money he had with him. Jenkins is facing federal bank robbery charges.

Education Nation
A quick update from NYC. Our two national student presidents, Victoria Holbert and Chance Litwin, are representing us well. Starting yesterday afternoon, we participated in the premiere of a new film "American Teacher" and a discussion that followed, moderated by Al Roker and Jenna Bush.
The agenda is packed with sessions that engage high level discussions on the American Education system. This morning alone, speakers have included Tom Brokaw, Warren Buffet, Melinda Gates, Mayor Bloomberg, Secretary Arne Duncan, Ann Curry, Sal Khan and LeBron James.
Right now, I'm in a session on the changing face of education (sponsored by State Farm) and the students are in a session by Detroit Public Schools. There is much much more slated today and tomorrow. The Summit is being streamed online at EducationNation.com and broadcast on MSNBC and CNBC with special spots each morning on NBC Today.
We took advantage of the only free time yesterday before the Summit kicked off and I took the students to the Top of the Rock for a great city view, to a NYC Pizzeria for lunch, to the center of Times Square and for a deli sandwich and New York cheesecake for dinner.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) – The woman facing multiple drug charges after crashing into a La Crosse Burger King earlier this month, appeared in court Monday.
A judge set a $5,000 cash bond for 24-year-old Kiara Kiesow.
She's prohibited from consuming alcohol, controlled substances without a valid prescription, and huffing materials.
Kiesow is also not allowed to drive or contact Burger King.
Police said Kiesow admitted to blacking out before the crash after she'd been huffing a can of air duster.
Pending charges include a second operating while intoxicated offense, and possession of methamphetamine, hazardous substances and drug paraphernalia.

Fasting Improves Recovery of Bone Marrow Stem Cells after Chemotherapy
[Note: This is a guest post by Tauseef (@CellSpell)] Fasting is defined as either completely abstaining from or minimizing food intake for a defined period time - ranging from about 12 hours to even a few weeks. Calorie restriction, on the other hand, refers to an overall reduction in the daily calorie intake by about 20%-40% without necessarily reducing the meal intake frequency. Although calorie restriction is well-suited for weight loss and thus also reduces the risk of chronic diseases... Read more

Land Trust Services
An affordable advantage for all property owners. As with trust planning in general, making arrangements now for the handling of your financial affairs can have significant future benefits. If you own real estate in the state of Illinois, a Land Trust offers a simple and inexpensive way to manage your property, with advantage both now and in the future. Benefits of Land Trust includes:
Confidentiality of ownership.Under a Land Trust in which you name Marquette Bank the trustee, we are the publicly recorded holder of your property. Unless you direct otherwise or it is required by law, your name as property owner remains confidential. This confidentiality can be a benefit in a number of situations.
Shared ownership protection.Those who share ownership in a property or who own multiple properties can avoid many complications with the establishment of a Land Trust. Your interest can be transferred by assignment without the formal requirements of a transfer of deed.
Avoidance of probate delays.Under a Land Trust Agreement, the party creating the trust can retain complete control over the property. The desired succession in ownership becomes effective only upon death. With a Land Trust, the delays and, under certain conditions, the expense of probate can be avoided.
Simplified transactions in multiple ownership situations.A Land Trust simplifies the problem of disposing of partial interest in a property. This can be advantageous when real estate is held by several people or a group of heirs or if multiple owners have a disproportionate share of the property. It also provides a convenient means of mortgaging and selling a property without having to obtain deeds from all parties involved especially if the parties are living out of state.
Talk To Your Attorney about Land Trusts
A Land Trust is a simple and affordable tool with numerous benefits for property owners. Because Land Trusts are used as an estate planning tool, we strongly urge you to discuss the legal issues, as well as the tax saving benefits, with your personal attorney.

The Trust & Investment Management Division of Marquette Bank is committed to meeting your financial goals and will work as a team with you to develop and design a sound financial plan for your future and the future of those important to you. As our client, you can be assured that your affairs are being handled by a strong institution dedicated to providing the highest quality of personal service.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #40 (May 2010):
Rather taking a well-traveled path, Firestone Walker is paving a new one by overlapping beer styles. Part German Wheat and part Saison, which is great as standard summer Wheats are aplenty these days. Typical hazed orange color with good head retention, check. The aroma beats expectations with well-rounded malt, floral hops and a mild, yeasty nutti- ness. Very smooth, with a fluffy, moderate-size body. Lots of malt to go around; toasty and malty with a quick kiss of sweetness. Hops lay down a balancing bitterness while the yeast and acidulated malt provide a refreshing twang in the drying finish.
Why just a summer seasonal? The brewer surely knows this rivals many of the well- known Wheat Ales. Firestone raises the bar for Wheat Ales everywhere.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a medium white head that quickly goes to a thin collar that leaves a little lacing.
The aroma is hefeweizen like - banana and clove with some light citrus, pepper and wheat.
The flavor is a bit subdued and watery with some yeasty banana and wheat with some sweet fruity malt. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and watery.
Overall, I was not too impressed especially at $10 for a 6 pack. It's watery with too much banana for me. It does get a bit better as it warms.

Rather dark appearance, almost orange for a wheat beer, cool. Definitely unfiltered. Aroma was largely summer-esque, i.e. wheat and lemon.
Good dry mouthfeel, wheat % definitely noticeable, almost rye like quality as well. Solid hop bitterness is present. Not up to the level of Sumpin or Gumballhead, but its in the next tier for sure. A little bit of that spice and yeast leans a little to Belgo for me. Not overpowering clove and banana, but more than desireable. Stays light bodied throughout without sacrificing full flavor.
Good, wouldn't turn it down, but there are more interesting summer offerings.

Not a huge fan of wheat beers and to be honest didnt know this was one when I bought it. Really like the flavor of this beer as it's got a distinct flavor that I dont find in any other weizens around. At %6 it's pretty worthy and very drinkable at that. Has become a regular pick up and turned me around on good wheat beer.

(Served in a bowtie glass)
Bottled 4/18/13
A- This beer pours a glowing hazy to the pale orange body with a bubble white head that fades to a ring after a few sips. There is a gentle carbonation that works its way to the surface.
S- The unripe fruity hops blend with some green banana esters and a bread dough note in the finish.
T- The dry green hops have some jammy fruit hints with white bread notes that lead to a dry field corn flavor. The finish is a nice mellow unripe fruit hops flavor that lingers after each sip.
M- The medium-light mouthfeel has a full crisp fizz in the finish.
O- The great blend of flavors compliment each other with unripe fruit hops and green fruit esters in a very sessionable, drinkable beer.

Bottled on 06/13/2012
Aroma - citrus, then Saison "zing"
Appearance - cloudy, orange
Flavor - tastes like a mild Saison initially, with a bit of sour in the aftertaste, along with a bit of German wheat clove.
Mouthfeel - light-medium body, medium carbonation
A good beer - flavorful, especially good in warmer weather. However, I thought it was considerably more flavorful last year, when I had it on draft a few times.

Poured a cloudy golden yellow with a one finger white head. Pretty standard for the style. Scents of clove and banana. Flavor is mild with doughy bread overtones, a bit of spice, slight citrus peel and a bit of hop bitterness on the finish. Light and refreshing. Mouthfeel is light bodied with high carbonation. Another good summer wheat beer, refreshing and sessionable without being overwhelming.

Cloudy yellow with white head and spotty lacing.
Smells gumball sweet and crushed wheat grain with citrus.
Lemony citrus upfront followed by coriander and banana.
Medium body that leans to the sweeter side with decent carbonation that keeps it in check. Very drinkable.
Reminds me of, along the lines, Allagash White and Ommegang Witte. As always fresh is the best and FSW labels such visibly. Definitely worth a try.

Buckhead business owners say they're losing thousands of dollars after being hit with multiple power outages they say were caused by pigeons.Businesses along Roswell say the hungry birds are camping out on Georgia Power lines, awaiting food. Merchants say that sometimes, so many birds congregate on the lines that they blow transformers. Emma Head of the Pie Shop said that one of the power outages occurred on Saturday – the store's busiest day.Owners say that the pigeons are being fed by Don Lewis, who is known as "Birdman." City investigators confronted Lewis this week. He said that they told him he could not feed the birds. "The city health department said I could not feed the birds. But…there is no city of Atlanta health department. The Fulton County Health Department handles everything from Johns Creek to the south side," said Lewis.Lewis said that he doesn't believe he is causing the problem. "Birds have been around the city for years and years," said Lewis. Lewis said he has a lawyer and has the right to feed the birds on his property. Georgia Power has put covers on the power lines in hopes of solving the problem.

text: Good fundamentals was one of the main reasons the Chiefs looked like a potential playoff team during their 5-2 start. They ran the ball better than anybody, which requires solid blocking, and defended the run well, which meant sound tackling. But they began to revert to some bad habits in recent weeks, resulting in key losses at Oakland and Denver. Not surprisingly, Kansas City had its two worst rushing performances of the year in those contests. To correct these problems, we hear head coach Todd Haley decided to run practice this past week more like training camp, putting players in pads and focusing on the core fundamentals that the club executed so well during the season's first couple of months. He even said that he noticed the players enjoying themselves on the practice field more than they had in some time. Haley and Co. hope that this will translate to game day as the Chiefs suddenly find themselves in a tight AFC West race.

Manufacturing Engineer
Manufacturing Engineer Jobs
Manufacturing Engineer Overview
Someone working as a manufacturing engineer, a position also sometimes called an industrial engineer or industrial designer, has the responsibility of streamlining the process of manufacturing. Their goals are to eliminate wastefulness when creating a new product in a factory, utilize machinery in the most efficient way possible, help ensure that the entire manufacturing process is safe and create a more affordable way for companies to create products for their consumers. In order to achieve these objectives, manufacturing engineers might need to update machinery, train new employees, change the layout of a factory or change shift times in order to make employees more productive.
Manufacturing Engineer Education Requirements
It is nearly impossible to secure a career as a manufacturing engineer without at least a bachelor's degree. Most can typically major in industrial, mechanical, manufacturing or commercial engineering. Many of the most successful manufacturing engineers also have a graduate certification like a master's degree, which can further advance their knowledge and help them to develop managerial skills for top positions in the field.
Manufacturing Engineer Job Market
Statistics suggest that between 2012 and 2022, the demand for manufacturing engineers will increase by 5 percent. This job market growth is roughly in line with the average career growth in the United States, and it translates to approximately 7,540 job openings available each year. This level of growth ensures that graduates will have plenty of opportunities to secure a related career with a large corporation, a factory or an overseas manufacturer after they graduate from college.
Manufacturing Engineer Salary
Manufacturing engineers receive an impressive annual median salary of $78,860 in the United States. Those working in motor vehicle parts manufacturing tend to earn slightly less, around $71,000 annually, but those employed in aerospace product parts manufacturing earn average median salaries of $84,600 each year. Other factors, including location, degree type and years of experience, can also play a role in total salary.

Zou bisou bisou! The thin sweep of liner Jessica Paré wore to the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington DC was a far cry from the mod, winged-out eye she'd work onscreen as Mad Men's Megan Draper, but made just as big of an impact with the clean, precise application. "I wanted to keep Jessica's look glamorous, neat, and conservative," said her makeup artist Jamie Greenberg, who used Mark products on the star. "We decided to go for a clean, girly look: All pinks, and a tight line on the lid and lashes." To start, Greenberg applied a base of eye shadow primer onto Paré's lids, then layered a pale pink powder shadow on top. "I framed the eyes using a black liquid liner, and finished the look by applying mascara on Jessica's top and bottom lashes," Greenberg added. If you have trouble holding a steady hand, we recommend working with a felt applicator, or a liquid liner housed in a pen-shaped stylo. Both products are equipped with a fine-tipped applicator point, which helps to create a more precise shape. Once you're finished, use a pointed cotton swab to clean up any uneven areas.

Excellent addition to my MountainSmith pack
June 08, 2000
Shoulder Straps Count!
June 15, 2002
Even if you need and value an lumbar-focused pack for back and spinal health, using the Mountainsmith Strapettes will convince you of the truth of what Mountainsmith has to say about packs: the weight must be on the lumbar area, but the shoulder straps are necessary for balance. This accessory to my old BC Office pack saved me a lot of discomfort that I did not understand when my pack drooped and caused pain. Thanks again, Mountainsmith, for retrofitting my back and making it truly useful. It cost a little more than I would have liked, but it was worth it; I might have had no choice at some point but to buy a new pack. That's no small thing when you've already invested $100 in a pack!
Quality as usual
March 02, 2011
I just received the MS strapettes and am impressed as usual with the quality and design. I have a 15 year old classic Tour lumbar pack which does not have the quick clip attachments like the newer ones. Thanks to the flexible design that didn't matter. I simply undid the straps, slid the clips off the strapettes and attached them to the corresponding areas of the Tour pack. This is a great addition which will save me from needing to buy a separate day pack for hauling heavier stuff (which often pulled the pack over my bum while hiking with heavy loads). Easy on, easy off. Anyway, another great design that magically retro fits their older equipment. If you have a MS lumber pack I'd recommend getting these to maximize versatility.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use
Minimizes the
May 29, 2000
I prefer using a fannypack rather than a backpack for my long-distance day hikes in the Sierras, and since these hikes can last for over 8 hours and 30+ miles in very rugged terrain, I have to fit A LOT into my fannypack, which weighs it down, causing the loaded pack to "bounce", especially during steep descents. Since I have both a Mountainsmith DAY fannypack and TOUR fannypack, I decided to order the Mountainsmith Strapettes (which fit both) to see if they helped. Last week I loaded my DAY fannypack with 21 pounds of gear which included a water filter, hydrasack placed inside filled with a performance drink, camera w/ tripod, spacebag, Walkman w/ tapes, Petzle Duo headlamp, Northface Windstopper jacket, extra batteries, cellphone, compass, topo map, and a first aid kit--half of this gear I never have to use, but in an emergency they can save my life so I carry them. I then went for a day hike in the Sierras from Yosemite's Curry Village to Lake Merced and back to Curry Village via the John Muir Trail with a total roundtrip mileage of 30 miles and an elevation gain (and then descent) of 3250 feet. If any hike could test the performance of these strapettes, this one would. Result: they worked GREAT. The DAY fannypack fit comfortably for the entire trip, my whole back stayed cool, dry, and un-sore (the reason I prefer a fanny pack) and the pack's bounce was minimized to my total satisfaction by the strapettes. Since the Yosemite hike, I have been on shorter hikes carrying less weight in my fannypack, and I still prefer using the strapettes since they definitely add to the comfort of wearing the fannypack. The only negative thing I have to say is that $25 is rather pricey - I would think them a greater value at $15, not $25. But Mountainsmith makes good quality product, and the strapettes are well made and highly adjustable, and the added comfort is well worth the price.
Strapettes ROCK!
June 12, 2000
These little straps can save the day when you overpack. They really ease the strain on your back, and you end up carrying the hip pack much more like a day pack with a great hip belt. I use my Mountainsmith Day Waist Pack for camera gear, so it is always on the heavy side, and I wouldn't be able to take nearly as many pictures without the strapettes. Plus, they are dead simple to use!
A great addition
June 12, 2000
About a year and a half ago, I purchased a Mountainsmith lumbar pack. I live in Virginia and do a lot of hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains when the weather is hot and humid. Frankly, I got tired of sweating under even a daypack on hikes, and the lumbar pack looked like it would be a lot more comfortable. And so it has proven to be, except when I would load it up to its maximum capacity. Then it would tend to ride down on my hips no matter how many times I would cinch up the waist belt. Getting the Mountainsmith strapettes has made a noticeable difference in comfort in those situations when I carry that much gear. Now I can squeeze in a lot of heavier items without having to hassle with the pack slipping around. And the strapettes are so narrow and intelligently padded that I still enjoy virtually unrestricted arm and shoulder movement. The strapettes are a first rate piece accessory for Mountainsmith's excellent lumbar packs.
Necessary Gear
August 01, 2003
If you own one these packs, you need these strapettes, especially if you like to load up in hot weather and still remain comfortable.
Exactly what I expected
March 29, 2010
Great product and made in the same high quality fashion of their packs. When full the lumbar packs are to heavy and sag, this makes it very usable.
Great addition
December 31, 2002
I would have to say that with the addition of the strapettes, my hiking has been revolutionized. Being somewhere between a minimialist and an "overpacker" I can now take along my lumbar pack instead of hauling out the day pack for longer day trips. This has always been a problem for me espically with the varied weather conditions where I live. Now I can take just what I need and a little more in my lumbar pack since the weight no longer flops the pack around. A great idea and addition to my hiking equipement.

Steel Magnolia Radio
A country singing duo who took the 21st century path of winning a television talent show ([RoviLink="VN"]Can You Duet) to break into the public eye, Steel Magnolia consist of Meghan Linsey and Joshua Scott Jones. A native of Ponchatoula, LA, Linsey formed the duo with Jones, her boyfriend, whom she met while serving as a karaoke host in a Nashville bar. Linsey and Jones were contestants for the second season of Can You Duet, and ended up winning the competition, using the exposure to sign with Big Machine Records, which released a debut single by the duo, GÇ£Keep on LovinGÇÖ You,GÇ¥ in August of 2009. A second single, GÇ£Just by Being You (Halo and Wings),GÇ¥ followed almost a year later in July of 2010 -- in between the duo released a self-titled EP early in 2010, followed by a slew of singles including the digital download-only singles, "Just By Being You," "It's Christmas Time," and "Last Night Again." On January 4, 2011, Steel Magnolia were nominated for an Association Of Country Music (ACM) award in the Best New Duo Or Group category; their self-titled debut album appeared a week later. ~ Steve LeggettPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

New details have emerged on the contract Matt Garza who signed with the brewers Sunday. According to the MLB Network Garza will earn 12.5 million dollars in each of the first 4 years and 2 million each year will be deferred with no interest.
The deal also includes incentives and a vesting option that could make it worth 67 million over 5 years.
The addition of Garza gives the Brewers their strongest rotation, at least on paper since 2011, when they won the NL Central.
The big addition last year was Kyle Lohse, who signed late in spring training, and finished with an 11-and-10 record. A 3.35 ERA, and 125 strikeouts in nearly 200 innings.
Lohse said he went through some up and downs to get where he is today. "Personally it was pretty good, if you took out may. You know I was struggling in may. I had some issues going on that you know I was stubborn and kept going out there, and just couldn't finish certain pitches the way I normally would, and you know once we got that straightened out, the rest of the year, personal wise you know it went pretty good, just more concerned about you know team wise we didn't do what we were suppose to

A serious side of the notorious funny girl.
Chelsea Handler is big, bold, brash and fiercely funny. From her TV shows Chelsea Lately and After Lately, to her four best-selling books, sold-out live stand-up shows and most recently her movie roles, this notorious party girl has proven she is a serious Hollywood player. Katie kicked off the conversation by asking Chelsea's about her latest project, her new book.
"I'm more conservative than one would think."
Anyone who knows anything about Chelsea knows about her sidekick Chewy. What's he been up to and how did they meet?
"Wouldn't it be great if this guy could become famous?"
@KatieShow Who knew that @chelseahandler could be so endearing!?! Love the side @katiecouric brought out!—
Gary Garrett (@garypgarrett) September 28, 2012
Although Chelsea admits she's always had a sassy mouth on her, it was a very unlikely situation that launched her comedic career. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade!
"I just wish I could control myself!"
Next, a serious side of Chelsea we've never seen before. She's joked a lot about her middle class New Jersey family, but today she really opened up about two tragic events that shaped her family life.
"You don't ever recover from that."
Wow. Chelsea Handler is about to cry on #Katie. I don't think I've ever seen her so vulnerable on TV. cc: @KatieShow—
(@dcfab) September 28, 2012
As the host of Chelsea Lately, Chelsea is just as used to asking the questions as Katie is. So Katie gave Chelsea the chance to turn the tables on her!
"I like that you're always dating younger men!"
Although Chelsea revealed her more serious side today, she couldn't help herself and had to play a joke on Katie before the show.
I already love @ChelseaHandler but after her interview on @KatieShow, I realize she's one of the nicest and most honest celebs.—
Ms. Share (@MsShare) September 28, 2012

Last week some of the guys on my team were running some tests in our application and they noticed a contention problem. When a large report was running any other requests hung until the report was done being generated.
There were no transactions locking the database and no locks on the code either. After testing for a while I noticed that when I used 2 different browsers the problem would happen. Ha! So it must have something to do with the Session. The answer was on the bottom of the Session State documentation page on MSDN. Here is the section that matters:
"Access to ASP.NET session state is exclusive per session, which means that if two different users make concurrent requests, access to each separate session is granted concurrently. However, if two concurrent requests are made for the same session (by using the same SessionID value), the first request gets exclusive access to the session information. The second request executes only after the first request is finished."
So the problem only happens if you have multiple request from the same session. Still this is very annoying! This is done so that the Session maintains the consistency. If you don't need to write to the session (only read) the session state may be defined as ReadOnly in which case there will be no locking.
Depending on your application you might want to set the sessionState as ReadOnly in the web.config (affects all pages) and then mark each page that needs write access to use sessionState=true. Or you may want to do it the other way around. Set the pages that take a long time to process as sessionState=ReadOnly (so they don't block) and leave all the other pages that process quickly as they are.
To set up the web.config:
<system.web> <pages enableSessionState="ReadOnly"/> </system.web>
To set up a single page use the Page directive:
<%@ Page ... EnableSessionState="True" %>
Setting the Page directive will override the web.config setting.
Hope this helps.
