The stench of manure from a nearby fertilizer factory slips past the razor wire and the sharpshooters manning the watch tower. The smell follows the inmates everywhere, from the grassy courtyard where they read or play ball to the two-woman cells decorated with family pictures to the TV rooms in each dorm. There's no escaping it.
Yet as state prisons go, the California Institution for Women in Corona is considered a pretty place, almost as inviting as a suburban college campus. Sometimes there's a salad bar at dinner. Still, no one really wants to live here. And, more emphatically, no one wants to die here.
Older prisoners —A June 26 Los Angeles Times Magazine article about the increasing number of elderly prisoners in California prisons incorrectly stated that former Gov. Gray Davis said that murderers would leave prison during his term only "in a pine box." Although others have characterized his policy in this way, Davis did not actually make this remark. In addition, the article incorrectly stated that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger "is on exactly the same page" as Davis when it comes to releasing murderers. The governor, in fact, has granted parole to 84 convicted murderers whose sentences made them eligible for release, whereas Davis allowed five to be paroled. Also, the article incorrectly referred to the location of the California Institution for Women. It is in Chino, not Corona.
Elderly prisoners — A June 26 Los Angeles Times Magazine article about the increasing number of elderly prisoners in California said the state's three-strikes law mandates life sentences without parole for certain repeat felons. In fact, on a third-strike felony sentence of at least 25 years to life, the offender is eligible for parole after serving at least 80% of the sentence. Also, the article gave the wrong first name for a prisoner at the California Medical Facility. He is Clyde Hoffman, not Claude.
Elderly prisoners —A correction Saturday for a June 26 Los Angeles Times Magazine article about the increasing number of elderly prisoners in California said that on a third-strike felony sentence of at least 25 years to life, the offender is eligible for parole after serving at least 80% of the sentence. In fact, on a third-strike sentence of 25 years to life, the offender is eligible for parole after serving the minimum sentence of 25 years.
It's still dark when inmate No. 41465 wakes up to begin her day. The shrunken 82-year-old changes from her pajamas and pink house coat into jeans and a denim shirt labeled California Prisoner and begins her drill: breakfast at 6, sack lunch pickup at 6:30, infirmary at 7, where she acquires an ankle chain, belly chains and handcuffs. She then hobbles to a van for the 40-minute ride to Riverside Hospital for dialysis beginning at 8. Helen Loheac suffers from chronic renal failure, a condition that she figures costs the state $436,000 a year, not counting the two $24.75-an-hour armed corrections officers who guard her, all 5 feet and 90 pounds, for up to eight hours a day three times a week.
The financial toll of incarcerating senior citizens nationwide is staggering. Eyeglasses, hearing aids, medications and therapies, often for chronic or terminal conditions, compound the $30,929 annual average tab for housing a young, robust prisoner.
Penitentiary conditions accelerate aging, adding physiological years to the lives of men and women who in many cases compromised their health before getting arrested. They tend to get sicker than non-inmates with the same illnesses, in part because diagnosis and treatment arrive late. They're particularly vulnerable to diabetes, heart disease and hepatitis.
California spends two to three times more a year housing inmates over the age of 55, of which there are 6,400 currently incarcerated in state facilities, according to the Department of Corrections. A state Legislative Analysts Office study projects that the number of inmates over 60 could hit 30,200 by 2022, costing the state at least a billion dollars a year.
Sentencing reform is the primary culprit. The state's 1994 three-strikes law mandates life sentences without parole for certain repeat felons, and these recidivists—42,240 second- and third-strikers as of June 2002—will inevitably grow old and die in prison. Other than parole, the only ticket out of prison is compassionate release. Designed to liberate inmates who have six months or fewer to live and no longer pose a public threat, this legislation has emancipated an average of only 12 people a year since 1997. Inmates sentenced to life without parole or death are ineligible.
Californians overwhelmingly supported the three-strikes law 11 years ago, and so far they have deflected attempts to soften it. Without reform to reduce the number of "lifers," the best hope of containing healthcare costs lies within a recalcitrant system.
"She may have done some heinous or criminal act in her day, but at this point she's not a risk to the state any longer—other than fiscally," says state Sen. Gloria Romero (D-Los Angeles), chairwoman of a select committee overseeing the correctional system. "We are locking up the elderly at the expense of building schools for students and keeping university fees down, and we can't pretend that it's not happening."
Do Californians want to spend a billion to keep old, feeble inmates from roaming the streets, even if it's in wheelchairs? Many people say yes. They believe in throwing away the key—no matter the cost.
"We believe if people commit a crime and have been tried, judged and sentenced, they need to serve the time," says J.P. Tremblay, an aide to Roderick Hickman, secretary of the state Youth and Adult Correctional Agency. "Just because we're in a budget crisis, we can't make crime-and-punishment decisions based on fiscal concerns."
Hundreds of those old inmates each cost the state $400,000 or more a year. Loheac entered the California Institution for Women 13 years ago, at age 69, upon being sentenced to 25 years to life for conspiracy to commit murder. She says she thought she was just doing her troubled son a favor in handing off a wad of cash to a man. That man was an undercover cop, as it turned out, and the money was for a hit.
In California, a life sentence almost always means just that, even if the Board of Prison Terms recommends parole. Former Gov. Gray Davis, a Democrat, stated that murderers would leave prison during his term only "in a pine box." Republican Gov. Schwarzenegger is on exactly the same page.
In the 1950s, California became the first state to operate a prison specifically for elderly inmates, but it closed in 1971 when the prison population dipped. Today, old felons are sprinkled throughout the 163,939-inmate system, though federal studies indicate that mainstreaming ultimately costs more than establishing specialized units. Once ahead of the curve, the state now lags in adjusting to demographic realities.
Dying on our dime
California's prisons are teeming with older inmates who run up staggering medical costs.

Home / VA Loans / VA Home Improvement Loan
Getting a home improvement loan is likely to directly affect the value of your home because of the improvements you use the loan for. As such, an official VA appraisal needs to be conducted on the property before the loan can be approved. The initial appraisal is also very important because the VA limit on the size of your home improvement loan is up to 100% of the value of your home. In order to know the value of the home, an official VA appraisal must take place on the property. Work with one of our VA loan specialists to estimate the value of your home before the appraisal and discuss the most beneficial VA home improvement loan option.
Much like a new purchase loan, the home improvement loan requires verification of your income and employment. Since a home improvement loan can potentially be as large as the mortgage on your home, making absolute sure that you'll be able to afford the additional monthly payment is one of the lender's highest priorities – and it should be one of yours too. The following will need to be provided to the lender:
Assets & Liabilities
When working towards getting approved for a VA home improvement loan, the veteran will need to disclose all of their assets and debts (liabilities) to give the lender an accurate picture of how well the veteran could afford a refinance. Assets are different from income and can give the lender a good view of how financially savvy the borrower is as well as what the borrower's net worth is. Expect to be asked for these documents:

At over 3,000 acres, North Park is Allegheny County Parks' largest park. The park includes a wide range of recreational amenities, including a 75 acre fishing lake, saking rink, pool, nature center, off-leash dog park, 18 hole golf course and the Latodami Environmental Education Center. North Park was established in 1927. Its development via the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was an important source of local employment during the Great Depression. Visitors today would be surprised to know that buffalo were kept on the site during the early 1930s. Today, North Park is home to a variety of wildlife, including the Southern Flying Squirrel, Coyote, Mink and Gray Fox.
North Park has an abundance of trails, although they are not always easy to link up. There are over 40 miles of single-track, multi-use trails. Popular trails include:
The Pfunstein Trail is a new offering, built in honor of local rider, Stefan Pfundstein. North Park is also home to the North Park Freeride Area, a public, outdoor Freeride Skills Area and the Dr J Freeride Trail. If you're new to North Park, the County blazed maps for North Park Allegheny County Parks together with the above listed trails can guide you to a good ride or hike in North Park.
Boyce Park was dedicated as an Allegheny County park in 1963. It is named after the locally-born William D. Boyce, founder of the Boy Scouts. As a result, all of the picnic groves and shelters have names with Boy Scout associations: Tenderfoot, Eagle, Den, etc. Excavations on the site in 1976 by anthropologists led the discovery of artifacts and 26 burial sites, suggesting that the Monongahela people occupied the site in the 14th century. At over 1,000 acres, Boyce Park features a wide variety of recreational infrastructure, including a wave pool and the only downhill skiing facility in the County.
Boyce's trail system includes 28 miles of single-track and 1.4 miles of gravel roads. Boyce's trails are enjoyed by riders of all skill level.
Deer Lakes is perhaps best known for its three man-made, spring-fed lakes which makes it a popular fishing destination (the picnic areas are all names after fish), although the ball fields, disc golf course and Wagman Observatory are also draws.
Deer Lakes' 1,180 acres include over 20 miles of single-track that are suitable for every level of rider.

Street Sounds: Boston needs more than a feeling
And you will know them by their album cover art — their garish, cheesy cover art that hasn't changed since 1975, back when bands named themselves after cities.
Eternal classic rockers Boston, led by über-geek wunderkind, guitarist/keyboardist/songwriter/producer Tom Scholz, is still around, having cryogenically frozen themselves into the consciousness of MOR (middle-of-the-road) fans.
Back when the punks and so-called New Wavers wrestled the spirit of rock away from hedonistic virtuosos and "progressive rock" wankers, Boston was a band that symbolized a middle ground – a safe way to crank out the epics.
Scholz and Boston usually take years between releases, pioneering the concept of ultra precision and perfection in production.
Life, Love, & Hope is their sixth album since 1975. As such, it's a wonder that they represented the '70s and high school life to so many. They don't have much output but the songs endure. More Than a Feeling, Smokin', Long Time, etc. can evoke jock rock, Mustangs, hallways and dances in the gym. It's perennial teenage music that's morphed into sentimentalism and the appeal of bygone youth, now further transformed into condominium rock.
Boston doesn't stray from this turf. Last Day of School on Life, Love & Hope is just an updated version of Foreplay/Longtime, and Heaven on Earth is a 2014 version of 1975's More Than a Feeling (add Sail Away, Someone and the title song to the list).
Falsetto choruses, fluid harmony-laden guitar lines and crunching chord progressions run all the way through Life, Love and Hope.
They've cloned that sound, and wear their recorded history on their sleeves. Also, the word "love" is used in five of the 11 song titles, a useless fact that might be a clue to the band's style.
So why take a decade between records? Force of habit probably, for perfectionists like Scholz. But in writing the hooks that make you happy, Boston remains the smiley face of ordinary rock.
— Dean Gordon-Smith is a Vernon-based musician who reviews new releases for The Morning Star in Street Sounds every Friday.

PLAYERS: Rafael Nadal
( December 28, 2012) Eleven- time major champion and current world No. 4 Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from the Australian Open due to a continuing stomach virus. The ailment caused Nadal to withdraw from this week's World Tennis Championships in Abu Dhabi. In a statement Nadal said: "I am sorry and very sad to announce that I will not play in the Australian Open. My knee is coming along okay, but a stomach virus has left me unable to get ready in time to tackle the rigours of a Grand Slam. "Because of the virus, I have been unable to get any match practice and simply would not be doing myself or my friends in Australia justice if I went down there so unprepared. You need your body to be at its best for the Australian Open. "It was a difficult decision and I am extremely disappointed to be missing such a great event. I love coming to Melbourne and playing on Rod Laver Arena before the Australian crowds. It brings out the best in me. It hurts to have to wait another 12 months before I get another chance. In the meantime, the focus is now on desperately trying to get back on the tour." The Spaniard has been off the tour with a knee injury since losing in the second round of Wimbledon to Lukas Rosol in June. Nadal is scheduled to compete in the Abierto Mexicano Telcel tournament in Acapulco which begins on February 25, 2013. Karen Pestaina for Tennis for Tennis Panorama News.

Council: No loss for community if Marlow pub goes for good
Updated 1:59pm Tuesday 1st April 2014 in News By Pete Grant, Reporter
THE LOSS of a former pub will not impact the Marlow community if it is turned into housing, according to council experts.
The former Hare and Hounds pub on Henley Road could be turned into a five bedroom house under plans submitted to Wycombe District Council this month.
And the council department responsible for community facilities registered no objection to the proposal, claiming the permanent closure of the business would not be detrimental to the area.
In the Leisure And Community Services official response to the application, the department's Jackie Pinney said: "Community Services have no specific comments to make on this application.
"The Hare and Hounds is not currently operating as a public house and its conversion into residential will not create any shortfall in community facilities in the area."
The Hare and Hounds has changed hands several hands in the last few years, most famously with the winners of Raymond Blanc's TV series 'The Restaurant' taking over in 2008.
But with this venture closing after only a year, the pub was run by three different landlords in its final four years and its last stint as a pub ended in 2013.
The 16th century inn was then sold by owner Enterprise Inns late last year.
Located half a mile from the centre of Marlow, the pub's out of town setting was heavily blamed for its repeated closure.
English Heritage recently awarded the building Grade II listed status, and it is currently operating as a continental-style bakehouse which opened its doors last month.
Deidre Wells from Red Kite Development Consultancy, the agent for the project, said the tenancy was an interim measure for her client Hamden Homes while the housing plan was put into action.
WDC is expected to rule on the plans by May.

Outlander: Repulsion Hex for Shotgoone users. (self.Torchlight)
submitted 1 year ago by V0lta
Hi there fellow gamers,
I'm currently playing an Outlanderbuild with Glaves/Blade Pact as main Skillpoint sink and am experimentating how to round things up.
Today I tried Repulsion Hex and have to say it's pretty amazing so far. I use a Shotgoone and with Repulsion Hex and Blade Pact Slow. I manage it to just push everything away for nearly as long as I need to finish my (melee) foes. Life has become so much easier. Also the duration of initially 40 seconds is quite nice so you don't have to recast it too often.
Did any of you guys try it out yet? If so, what are your thoughts on the skill? I'm currently playing Act II on Elite.
[–]Panda413 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
I have just one point invested in it for now.
I'm not good about remembering to recast things every 40 seconds, so usually I die with it off and that is the only time I remember to use it. Also, in act 3, 95% of my deaths are due to stuff on the ground that I'm standing in, so that skill does not help much with that.
I have heard it becomes massively useful as you level it though.
[–]V0lta[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Well, then I will stay at one point.
[–]Spada05 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
The higher you level it, the more times it can knock back in a second. I'd imagine it would be like a knockback machine gun at 15/15.
[–]Virus610 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I really enjoyed having 1 point in repulsion hex. Just gotta watch out for those dashing enemies.
It also combines quite well with the rapid fire skill. You can push something into a corner and just cheese it to death, providing you've got the mana regen to cover the cost of rapid fire.

The world's new Pope: His voice is very much needed
It is a big deal because the world - Catholic, Christian, and non-Christian alike - still needs a Pope. It needs one, in fact, more than ever.
The world, for all its successes, is in a bad way in many respects.
The disrespect for human life is rampant. Crimes against children, including of a sordid sexual nature (some committed by the church's own priests), underscore that disrespect.
Evil exists, as it always has and always will. But so does good. And voices for good - courageous voices, God-fearing voices - must rise above the din to preach God's word and to live it by example. It seems that new Pope Francis is such a voice.
The TV talking heads will soon focus on other things of the moment, and they will only return to the new pontiff when he reiterates some part of Christ's teachings that they find less than "progressive." But this will not deter him, nor should it discourage people from paying attention to him.
The loudest sound emanating from St. Peter's Square last Wednesday evening was not the roar of approval when the white smoke was spotted. It was the silence that followed this humble man's first action as Holy Father. It was not to offer a prayer for the people but a request that the people pray for him. They did. And we all should.

For beer bellies, this old survivor is not a good pub; it's a great pub that's akin to a permanent beer festival. Head here from Putney Bridge, after a stroll along the Thames towpath, for Skinner's Cornish Knocker, Stonehenge Great Bustard, Goddards Fuggle-Dee-Dum, Phoenix Thirsty Moon, Salopian Peccadillo and other intriguing stuff you've likely never heard of. A horseshoe bar, two open fires and pleasant staff help cement the Brickie's reputation.

A Nissan and Floyd, then dust
12:43 a.m. A Nissan and Floyd, then dust
At 12:05 a.m., a silver Nissan Pathfinder with Tennessee tags was the last vehicle to travel Interstate 40 West through downtown Knoxville.
About three minutes later, a flatbed from Floyd's Wrecker Service appeared to be the last eastbound vehicle.
So began the final, most dramatic phase of SmartFIX40, the 14-month, $190 million closure and reconstruction of a 0.9-mile section of I-40 through downtown.
Workers immediately began grinding the old lane lines off the interstate at Hall of Fame Drive and James White Parkway, sending up dust clouds before they began re-striping the road to signal the end of the interstate and direct traffic onto downtown access routes.
The Knox County Sheriff's Office conducted rolling roadblocks starting on I-40 West at Rutledge Pike and I-40 East at 17th Street to give workers about 20 minutes to finish the re-striping work and to set up barrels.
Whether motorists like it or not, the closure has begun.
Thousands will find a new way through Knoxville beginning this morning.
Workers swung into action immediately in the cool, dry night.
Impact machines began compacting dirt for the future I-40 West roadbed and track hoes equipped with pinching attachments began demolishing four bridges over Broadway and Gill Avenue.
Broadway was to reopen at 7 a.m. and close again at 8 p.m. tonight for continued demolition. Gill won't reopen until 7 p.m. tonight.
"We're going to be working from 6 p.m. Wednesday until we fall out Thursday," said Jeff Walker, construction superintendent for B&B SmartFix Constructors.
The I-40 closure will send the drivers of 103,000 vehicles that daily travel the roadway scrambling to find another route. Studies show that about 30,000 of those cars and trucks are part of through traffic that will follow detour signs to Interstate 640 and Interstate 275. The other 73,000 exit somewhere downtown.
Completely closing I-40 aims to save time in the long run.
Initial estimates by the Tennessee Department of Transportation indicated that widening the two-lane, 1960s-era section of I-40 — where traffic daily slows to a crawl — would take eight years.
It also provides a safer environment for workers — as many as 400 workers will be on site at any one time over the next 14 months.
"You can almost get out of the way of a car going 45 miles per hour," said Clifford Boyle, with Volunteer Highway Supply, who's done highway work for 29 years. "It's nearly impossible for a car going 60.
"I'd say less than one-fourth of (motorists) are paying attention. ... They reach for a fry or adjust the radio, just taking their eyes off the road for a second, and they drift into the workers."
He said drivers are less considerate than they used to be, and that in his estimation any company involved in highway construction work more than 10 years has had someone either killed or seriously injured. "It's 10 times worse than it was 20 years ago," he said.
10:32 p.m. Henley Street ramp shuts down
At 10:20, the last car went through the I-40 East ramp from Henley Street — a gold Honda Accord with Knox County tags.
Orange and white cattle-fence-type barriers and barrels are across the road.
A crane is arriving and will put concrete barriers in place shortly.
Next, Interstate 40 will close at midnight, as will Hall of Fame Drive's on ramp to I-40 West.
So far, there have been no mishaps.
No spectators have been spotted.
The only bystanders are contract workers marking the pavement with orange paint to show where the barriers should be placed.
10:03 p.m. The closure begins
The first closure of SmartFIX40's inaugural night is under way.
At 9:40 p.m., crews shut down the I-40 East ramp from Western Avenue.
At first, they placed orange and white barrels across the ramp, and they're now using a 50-ton crane to place 13,000-pound, 20-foot-long, 30-inch-high concrete median barriers across the ramp.
9:07 p.m. Hey! ... You! ... Read this sign!
Workers began uncovering signs in seven counties alerting motorists that Interstate 40 is closed ahead.
The process began at 7 p.m. with crews unveiling signs in the outlying counties. The white signs bear solar-powered yellow flashing beacons to draw the attention of drivers.
The signs were placed in Cocke, Greene, Jefferson, Loudon, Monroe, Roane and Knox counties.
Travis Brickey, regional spokesman for the Tennessee Department of Transportation, said the last sign should be uncovered at 11 p.m.
8:40 p.m. Truckers mull 'the big headache'
Around dinnertime at the Petro Stopping Center at Watt Road, truckers who hadn't heard about the imminent closure of Interstate 40 through downtown were a bit puckered.
"This is going to be a big headache — a big one, dude," said Trinidad Zeamora, an independent trucker from Texas who runs to New York and Vermont. "I ain't going to come through here now, not for at least the next year."
Others, however, seemed to be taking it in stride.
"It's just about everywhere you go now, there's always construction," said Rickie Cook, an independent driver from Mississippi who comes through Knoxville every week. "It's all in a day's work."
The concern for truckers seemed to be more about potential crashes bottlenecking traffic than the I-640 or I-275 detours they'll need to take.
"Just one wreck and it'll be backed up to Chattanooga," Zeamora said. "And you guys have, what, two or three wrecks a week?"
5:17 p.m. Haslam: "We're about to get hit"
As the clock ticks down to the midnight closure of Interstate 40 through downtown Knoxville, officials expressed cautious optimism that starting tonight - and for the next 14 months - traffic will flow smoothly around the biggest road project in Tennessee history.
Motorists should place emphasis on the word "cautious."
For the past two weeks, police and road workers have been re-routing traffic onto I-640 and I-275, officials said. While there have been some ugly traffic backups, there haven't been any serious problems so far.
"We've seen a lot of slowdowns, obviously, but we're aware of where the bottlenecks are," said KPD Chief Sterling Owen IV at a press event this afternoon at the SmartFIX40 office on North Sixth Avenue.
The SmartFIX project ultimately will relieve pressure on I-40 as it passes through downtown.
Although people in the Knoxville area have had a chance to anticipate the road closure, Owen believes the biggest problems will come from people traveling through East Tennessee.
"Believe it or not, there's probably a lot of people coming through this area who've never heard of SmartFIX," he said.
Owen said the biggest problems are likely to come from out-of-towners who are using out-of-date maps that don't reflect the road closure and alternate routes.
"There will be a guy driving with his wife from the beach who doesn't believe in asking directions, and he'll end up being the one who causes a ruckus," Owen said. "But we'll have officers on the road to help him navigate through safely."
Tennessee Highway Patrol Capt. Ray Fletcher says a state trooper has been assigned full-time to work with Knoxville police. "I think initially we may have some congestion, but once people get accustomed to the new routes, I think it will work out," Fletcher said.
Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam said he thinks the project and traffic planning will pay off in the long run but added that he expects some glitches along the way.
"As Mike Tyson tells people, everybody has a strategy until they get hit, and we're about to get hit," he said.
Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner Gerald Nicely said the biggest concern is a "major incident" on I-640 between I-275 and the eastern edges of the city. Authorities have a plan in place to handle such a problem, he said, and "we hope it works."
The biggest challenge faced by TDOT and contractors thus far has been making sure that I-640 and I-275 were able to handle the increased traffic, and Nicely said that TDOT's models give cause for optimism, "but you don't really know until it happens."
Contractors Allen Blalock and Bruce Nicely said the dismantling of I-40 will begin promptly at midnight. Over the next 14 months, as many as 400 workers will be on site at any one time as the construction project advances.
2 p.m. The calm before ...
Orange barrels and flashing blue lights will fill the downtown landscape tonight as construction crews and law enforcement officers begin closing Interstate 40.
At 10 p.m. the first closure will be initiated as Knox County Sheriff's Office cruisers close the ramp to I-40 East from Western Avenue at Braden's Furniture. Orange barrels used to block the pavement later will be replaced with 11,000-pound concrete median sections.
At 10:30 p.m., access to I-40 East from Henley Street will be blocked past the tunnel. Again, orange barrels and police cars initially will effect the closure.
At midnight, things really get hopping.
Crews at the 388A exit of James White Parkway will block I-40 East with barrels and blue lights from police cars. At the same time, workers will perform the same work at exit 389, the Hall of Fame Drive, while also shutting down the I-40 West ramp from Hall of Fame Drive.
And then the heavy equipment comes out.
Jeff Walker, construction superintendant for construction firm B&B Smartfix Contractors, said impact machines will begin compacting dirt for the future I-40 West roadbed and track hoes equipped with pinching attachments will start demolishing four bridges.
"We're going to be working from 6 p.m. Wednesday until we fall out Thursday," Walker told a gathering of contract workers and Tennessee Department of Transportation officials Tuesday in a pre-closure meeting.
Workers will close Gill Avenue under I-40 at midnight to allow the bridges to be demolished. The road won't be open again until 7 p.m. Thursday.
On Thursday, workers will be busy trying to finish a ramp from northbound James White Parkway to I-40 West. The ramp to I-40 West has been closed since 2005, when the parkway was renovated as part of a $85 million SmartFIX40 project.
Initial plans called for a temporary ramp to I-40 West from James White Parkway to be ready for traffic by May 17. But road planners and road builders put their heads together and arrived at a quicker, but still temporary, solution.
Mark Dykes, TDOT regional safety coordinator, said crews will divert northbound traffic onto the southbound parkway ramp just north of Depot Avenue. Workers will place concrete median barriers to separate the traffic lanes. That northbound James White Parkway traffic will share one of the two I-40 East lanes over the Old City and Gay Street.
Just west of Cooper Street, workers will bring that westbound traffic using the I-40 East lane back over to an I-40 West travel lane, in essence beginning the interstate there out of downtown, Dykes said.
Dykes said he hopes to have the new I-40 West ramp open for Friday morning rush hour traffic.
For Thursday, drivers trying to avoid the construction area will be directed from I-40 West to Hall of Fame Drive and onto Summit Hill Drive. From there, drivers can access I-40 West at Ailor Avenue off Western Avenue, he said.
In the meantime, Dykes said he expects the single lane of I-40 East traffic through downtown that exits at James White Parkway to be less snarled after the closure. The single lane just east of the Interstate 275 North interchange has been crawling at a snail's pace this week.
Dykes attributed the overburdened single lane to traffic traveling past downtown to points east.
"The majority of that traffic is still going through," he said. With the closure at midnight, those drivers will be using Interstates 640 or 275 to detour around the city, freeing up space for drivers using James White Parkway to access downtown, he said.
Also on Thursday, workers will extend the single lane restriction on I-40 West eastward to Cherry Street. I-40 West has been two lanes west of Cherry Street leading to the Hall of Fame Drive exit.
More details as they develop throughout the evening and in Thursday's News Sentinel.

Many local farmers haven't even begun to plant yet, but the Department of Agriculture says it already knows what farmers are planning on planting.
The USDA's Prospective Planting Report shows that farmers are planning to plant more soybeans then ever before.
A record-breaking 8.5 million acres of the seed are expected to be planted this spring.
That's up 6% from last year.
And Illinois is following that trend.
9.5 million acres of soybeans are expected to be planted this year.
A 1% increase from last year.
But while soybeans are up, corn is down.
Both in Illinois and nation wide, the amount of corn planted is expected to be lower than last year.

Anne Hathaway, 28, will be the first to admit that getting into her Catwoman suit, for her role as the villain in the upcoming film The Dark Knight Rises, is not as easy as slipping on a pair of sweat pants. The One Day actress, who says she has never been a fan of exercise, has had to push herself to new limits to get her already-svelte body into feline-ready shape.
"Right now, I'm, like, living on kale and dust," she joked about her food intake on a recent episode of Chelsea Lately. "The catsuit's unforgiving, man," says Hathaway, adding, "It takes three of us [to get me into it]." Along with this group effort, Hathaway told iVillage the rest of her secrets to success for helping her shimmy into her skin-tight suit for the Dark Knight role: "Hard work, hard work, hard work, a wing and a prayer...hard work."
What kind of "hard work?" Well, she mentioned to Lately that she's worked Bikram yoga into her routine, but she's still trying to figure out what works for her.
"I've never really gotten over the hump," she admitted to Handler. "There's a workout hump where you're so weak that you hate everything, everything is so painful and you look like an idiot."
Hathaway also says that she has been having a rough time keeping up with some of her fitness club's other celebrity clientele.
"The gym where I work out, I was literally working out next to a [then] pregnant Jessica Alba and she could do more push-ups than I could," joked the actress. (Jessica Alba gave birth to her second daughter Haven on Aug. 13 -- click here to check out her exclusive blog series for iVillage!)
We're sure that all of Hathaway's sweat sessions will pay off -- we just hope she's eating a little more than she's admitting to!

Preventing Hot Car Deaths
It happens every summer: children are more likely to experience fatalities due to swimming pool drownings, dehydration and overheating during outdoor play, and perhaps most sadly—because it involves adult negligence—child deaths caused by babies and young children being left unattended in cars. These children, even when they are old enough to know how to unbuckle seat belts and get out of booster seats, are generally unable to unlock a car on their own.
When a baby or child is left unattended in a turned off vehicle for just a few minutes, death and permanent brain damage are often the tragic outcomes. But even in the face of dozens of news reports of cases involving child deaths due to carelessness in what are being dubbed "hot car deaths," less than 20 states in the US have laws on the books about the legality of this ferociously perilous practice.
Who will be the voice for these children, and more importantly, what can be done to keep this tragic and needless child car death spike from occurring each summer? Take Florida, for example, which does have a law that children cannot be left in an unattended car. This law is useless, as it allows for kids to be left in such scenarios for as long as 15 minutes—children can easily pass away in far less time than this, especially toddlers, infants, and exceptionally fragile newborns.
Stricter laws, more severe penalties and sentencing, and better outreach such as more informative and further reaching public service announcements about hot car deaths during the summer months could help to curb the incidence of these heartbreaking events. However, while these are all great ideas, nothing would be more effective than a nationwide law that would make leaving children unattended in a parked car for any period of time illegal. While some may not agree, the convenience people are seeking by not removing their babies and young children is simply not worth the risk of more child deaths each summer.
The "Kids and Cars" program founded by Janette Fennell has been instrumental in passing state laws in an effort to lessen the numbers of child deaths caused from being left in hot cars. While she notes that it is currently illegal for a passer-by to break a window to help a suffering child in most of the country, Tennessee has new legislation that allows cars to be broken into in these cases. Tennessee is the first state to pass a "do-gooder" law of this nature. Those who back the Kids and Cars initiative, among others, are hopeful this will be the impetus for other states to pass similar laws to protect children in danger.
Obama Backs Highway & Smart Car Initiatives
President Obama's recent virtual excursion at a McClean, Virginia center for automotive and highway research made for plenty of media fodder. While this entertaining jaunt was a show of Obama's interest in creating safer driving environments for US citizens, there is a much deeper issue at play here.
While the need for serious infrastructure repairs on roads, highways, and bridges is nothing short of an eminent threat to motorists and their passengers, it seems the US House of Representatives and Senate cannot seem to reach agreement on any bill that would solve serious and long term issues for American roadways. Instead, in recently reaching across the aisle, Democrats and Republicans were only able to agree on a short term scope, which will leave plenty of big problems in high traffic areas while also leaving other seemingly smaller issues like potholes behind. This "emergency room instead of preventative care" sort of measure will leave drivers unsafe, while also pressing the house and Senate to have to sit back down at the bargaining table again in less than one year.
To add insult to injury for US citizens and workers, these short term, small time solutions will be paid for from the pensions of workers. While pensions and fixes to roads don't seem to have anything to do with one another, apparently, this has been the only way to get even the smallest amount progress behind an infrastructure repair plan of any kind.
The hope is that after the time delineated in the bill may give automakers a chance to come up with more smart car options, as well as vehicles that get better gas mileage, and more diversity in hybrid vehicles. With this, more jobs in the automotive industry to support the need for greener driving options to improve the health of our environment is the goal. Obama has definitely thrown his support behind proposals that will incentivize carmakers to churn out smarter and more efficient vehicles, openly noting after his driving simulation that American motorists need and expect cars with higher safety standards, better gas mileage, and the job creation that will be generated by these expectations.
Hopefully, after the short provisions of the latest infrastructure legislation, Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate will be able to work together in a manner that will create a longer-term plan to both repair roads and perhaps provide funding for more smart car research.
Yearly Auto Recalls Break U.S. Record
Even though the 2014 fiscal year is only halfway over, the automotive industry has recalled a record number of cars—even for a 12-month period. With nearly 40 million vehicles pulled from US roads and highways this year, there seems to be little carmakers can do to lessen the burn for themselves or the consumers who are having to experience the very tedious tasks involved in owning—and returning—a recalled car.
In the average year for the US automaker market, all recalled cars combined range from about 18 million to the low 20 million in numbers, depending on the year. There's no arguing the fact that General Motors was the first to experience this trend in recalls. At first glance, while still alarming, the more than two-and-a-half million vehicle recalls from GM caused by issues with vehicle ignition systems were not thought of as a major recall—until it was revealed that the reason for these recalls was information that GM's higher-ups had been aware of for at least 10 years or more.
The domino effect seemed to be in full swing by the end of the second quarter with millions of cars recalled by Honda, not the least of which were the millions of Honda Odyssey vans recalled for a wide variety of reasons. While clearly these recalls are not related as these carmakers are competitors, is it possible there is an industry-wide lowering of the bar that is causing major issues with these vehicles—issues so severe that there have been fatalities and near-fatalities caused by a handful of other carmakers as well?
In 2001, Ford Motor Company was forced to recall nearly 24 million vehicles in a 12-month period, but the record-setting pace currently being experienced by GM is cause for apprehension among both current car owners as well as prospective car buyers. It could very well be years before General Motors is able to return to a reputation as a reliable carmaker that takes every necessary step to ensure the drivers and the families that purchase and occupy their vehicles that their cars are safe and will not be part of any mass recalls.
NJ Car Dealers Pay $1.8 Million Settlement
Having a compliance monitor assigned to oversee the sales and operations of your car dealership is not a road any dealership owner wants to go down. In addition to the constant scrutiny, the consumers who are made aware of this scenario are far less likely to shop these dealerships for obvious reasons. And such is the case for several New Jersey dealership owners who deceived and violated the consumer rights of their patrons for more than a decade.
And it isn't just the numbers of violations that were recorded that was so alarming—it was also the fact that the violations were egregious, and included a number of different dishonest sales practices. In a similar fashion (clearly on a much smaller scale) to the ARM home loans approved by predatory lenders before the housing bubble exploded, these Jersey car dealers employed sales tactics that made car buyers confident they could afford the cars they had selected. In addition, salespersons working at these dealerships swindled consumers by deceiving them into believing a vehicle other than the one they had initially chosen was within their budget.
In this massive settlement, the dealerships involved will have to pay out a sum of $1.8 million dollars. The shady sales practices that landed these eight auto dealers involved nearly 50 separate consumers, each of which will receive a portion of the nearly $2 million settlement in restitution for financial losses and other losses they incurred.
Overall, this settlement may seem like a small pittance when compared to the damages sustained by the deceived consumers, but the fact that these dealerships are now in the national news and having to deal with horrible reputations is no small problem. It will take them years to recover from the onslaught of reports of their dishonest tactics, and they will have to work very hard to reel in new car buyers, likely causing them to have to return vehicle inventory to carmakers. With these kinds of sales losses and an ever deepening hole in return on investment from carmakers that stock their dealerships, the $1.8 million settlement is just the tip of the iceberg for these eight New Jersey car dealers.
Bill Ford On The "New" Auto Industry
Just as Henry Ford completely changed how we get around each and every day, Bill Ford, Jr. is suggesting that once again, the field of transportation is experiencing massive uprising that will change how we move from point A to point B, including alternative fuels and new car building materials that make autos (and other forms of transportation) safer. So while the future looks incredibly bright for the automotive industry, it has little to do with the basis of old modes of thinking—how automakers are looking at the future is dramatically different than what it has been over the past several decades.
Electric automobile choices, and the latest trends in the progressive idea for "self-driving" cars will also have a massive impact on how auto makers create cars, as well as how consumers view the industry as a whole. In the future, those on the market to buy a new car will be taking a whole new set of variables into consideration, and this means carmakers will have to stay on top of their game to compete in addition to changing how new and innovative vehicles are marketed to the public.
Bill Ford is probably giving a very accurate forecast for how things will shake out for carmakers and how the future of transportation will be changed. In addition to his discussion of changes that will affect car buyers and how carmakers will have to keep up with trends, Ford discusses the promising new future for jobs in the automotive sector. As with all other industries, when exceptional innovations are part of the upcoming landscape, jobs in these sectors tend to trend upward, and advances in car making will be no exception.
The carmakers that will stay ahead of the pack are those that keep their eyes on upcoming trends, make plans to move in those directions, and those who plan ahead to increase their workforce with employees who have education and experience in the technologies these new kinds of cars will utilize.

Congressman: "Redistricting has been bad for the country"
...The ouster of the Democratic incumbents — and the tough primaries being waged against some House Republicans — suggest that redistricting ultimately is going to send more liberal Democrats and more conservative Republicans to the House.
The parties have become more polarized in recent decades, several academic studies have found. The demise of the conservative "Dixiecrats" in the 1960s and '70s made the Democratic Party more liberal, and Republicans have moved even further to the right than Democrats have moved to the left, the studies show. Elections like Tuesday's suggest Democrats may be taking the Republicans' cue, driven by the same activist forces that pushed them rightward.
