A week ago it was a nightmare with traffic down to one lane on the westbound side of the McClugage bridge. Then the Illinois Department of Transportation announced the eastbound side would be one lane today.
Illinois Department of Transportation workers began setting up the cones in the eastbound lanes this morning. The lane closure was supposed to happen at seven this morning, but crews waited until around nine to close the lane. That gave morning commuters a break.
The lane closure is expected to last until 3:30 this afternoon. Crews will close the lane again tomorrow from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. if they still have more work to finish.
Two of the westbound lanes were closed last Monday... which caused major traffic delays. The westbound work will last for another two months.
IDOT is doing joint repair on the bridge.

TV sports personality's (either an announcer or an analyst) all seem to have taken one of two routes to get to their positions. Most of them have taken the sports route. They were players of their sports who exhibited a certain charismatic ability to speak to the cameras. The other route seems to be of the way of sports journalism. Sports journalists start normally in college. After college most write in Newspapers and for Magazines before ever getting a shot at being a radio or local television announcer. The ones who make it though are masters of their craft and have spent the better part of their lives studying sports for a living, not just playing one.
A stunning example is Tony Kornheiser who I don't believe has ever announced a live game before being thrown onto ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcasts this year. He took to the spot naturally though. He shows that he understands the sport and what is going on. He makes Theisman, who has been doing this for years, sound like a bumbling idiot some of the time. Have you ever noticed the long pauses from Theisman and Tirico (Yes I know Tirico took the route of journalism, but he is a college football specialist)?
And Its not just Theisman look at all the horrible analysts they show on an ordinary sunday. Terry Bradshaw, Shannon Sharp, Michael Irving, Phil Simms I could list them all day. Why do the company's keep hireing these idiots? Do people actually tune in to see which of their favorite players is making a fool of himself on national tv?
Players just do not seem to translate into good sports analysts or announcers. Coaches, although lacking the charisma needed, can at least show a good understanding of the game. I don't know though, maybe they should just let the professionals do their jobs.

Business hopes to raise a pint to Saundersfoot microbrewery plans
3:17pm Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News
A local brewing business is hoping to raise a glass to the success of its plans to open in a former school in Pembrokeshire.
The Pembrokeshire Brewing Company Ltd., currently based in Boncath, has applied for permission to change the use of the old school building in Saundersfoot to a microbrewery and visitor centre.
The application is being recommended for approval at next Tuesday's (Feb 19) meeting of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority's development management committee.
The plan was referred to the committee after concerns raised by Saundersfoot Community Council, which said it would, however, be in favour if planning conditions were put in place to restrict the hours of the visitor centre to between 10 and 5pm; for brewing to take place between 8am and 6pm, and for a condenser - to reduce steam and smells - to be included in the application, together with a traffic management plan.
There had been 21 letters of objection and a 47-signature petition, raising fears that the development would have an adverse impact on the properties and health centre in the Westfield Road area of Saundersfoot through smell, noise, disturbance and traffic.
The proposals feature a brewery and bottling plant room which would be visible through a glazed viewing screen from the building's visitor centre, which would also include a bar area.
A report to the committee said that traffic along Westfield Road should not be a problem, and that if the building was still a school, there would be more vehicle movements generated at peak times.
The report added: "The concerns of local residents are noted, however, on balance, it is considered that the development can be suitably and adequately controlled such that refusal on grounds of a potential impact upon amenity would be unreasonable."
The committee is being asked to approve the proposal subject to conditions, including opening hours from 10am to 8pm daily; delivery hours between 7am and 7pm Monday to Saturday only; a waste storage and disposal scheme; with deliveries to be made off Westfield Road only and a revised parking and turning scheme in the school grounds.

Despite the local objections it will go ahead, I have no doubt.

Mo Farah: "We're having fun"
Double Olympic gold medallist Mo Farah was among a group of London 2012 heroes that started the 32nd BUPA Great North Run. The 29-year old became a national hero this summer after winning the 5,000 metre and 10,000 metre races at the Olympics.
There were plenty of impressions of his trademark "Mobot" celebration dance in Newcastle and Mo was well aware he might have to hand out 55,000 high fives.

WATCH: Giants do "Roll Call" at Yankee StadiumPosted by on May 16, 2013 – 12:20 pm
Accustomed to having fans chant their names, three Giants had their roles reversed on Wednesday night in the Bronx.
David Wilson, Rueben Randle, and Bear Pascoe took in the Yankees game against the Seattle Mariners with the Bleacher Creatures, assisting "Bald" Vinny Milano and the fan group in the "Roll Call" tradition.
"I've never witnessed anything like that. One guy screaming and the whole crowd is involved," Wilson, a Virginia native, told MLB.com. "This was my first time being a part of something like that."
Before the game, which the Yankees lost 12-2, the Giants trio toured the stadium and watched from the field during pregame warm-ups.
"It was really fun. That was the first time I got to be there at that level and just to see guys getting ready and preparing for the game and getting ready to go out," Pascoe said.
"It was pretty neat. It was pretty similar to us before a game – we go out and each guy does his own thing and does what he has to do to prepare for the game."
That included batting practice, where Wilson believed he could hit one out of the park if given some time.
"Give me a little while, a little practice," he said. "[Give me] about a week."
Randle, a fellow second-year draft pick, disagreed.
Thanks to @Giants Bear Pascoe (L), David Wilson (C) & Rueben Randle (R) for joining in Bleacher Creatures Roll Call. http://t.co/Eafa67huvg—

15:00 — Game Day Captains: Chris Snee and Chase Blackburn along with season captains Eli Manning, Justin Tuck and Zak DeOssie. Redskins win the toss and elect to receive.
*Keith Rivers gets the start at linebacker. That's the fourth time of the season for Rivers in seven games played.
14:50 — An early challenge from Mike Shanahan gives the Redskins a first down. Washington challenged where Paulsen went out of bounds.
12:54 — After forcing Washington to punt on the opening drive, Eli Manning hooks up with Bear Pascoe for a first down on the first play. It was Pascoe's first catch since Week 5 against Cleveland.
10:54 — Coincidentally, Jerrel Jernigan also gets his first catch since that same Browns game, good for nine yards and another first down.

Anatomy of a Play: Manning to PascoePosted by on October 1, 2012 – 6:16 pm
In this week's Anatomy of a Play, Giants.com takes a look at Eli Manning's touchdown pass to Bear Pascoe in the fourth quarter of the Giants' 19-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The quotes are from the tight end, who scored his first regular season touchdown on the play.
Down and Distance: 2nd and 6 at PHI 6
Time: 6:49, 4th QTR
Personnel: 2 TE, 2 WR, RB
Situation: Trailing 16-10, two timeouts left
The Play: (Shotgun) Eli Manning pass short middle to Bear Pascoe for 6 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
How it was drawn up: "We were in a bunch formation and it was kind of a switch release between me and Martellus Bennett and kind of all three of us, including Victor Cruz. We were all kind of switching. Marty was going first, I was coming in, Cruz was running an outside route."
What Pascoe saw lining up: "We thought they were going to play quarters over the front with that box look, but there was the possibility that, like earlier in the game, the Mike linebacker was really flying to the curl, flying to Victor, trying to double him. And so kind of during the week we weren't really expecting the Mike linebacker to do that. So me and Eli had talked through the week, 'Hey, if he does fly out of there like that, get your head around quick because I'll hit you right as you're passing them.'"
The execution: "I came down with the sense as I started my route I was going to try to get the linebacker's attention so it would open up Marty over the top or open up Victor. And Eli looked right at me and the ball just flew out of there. As soon as I crossed his path, I tried to get my head around. I knew Eli would see that and the ball would be on the way. I just wanted to make sure I secured the catch and I tripped my way into the end zone."
The preparation: "We go through that every week – 'On certain plays, if this happens, this is what we'll do. If that happens, this is what we'll do.' So as soon as the linebacker flew back and I came underneath him, I had my head around looking for it."
Outcome: Pascoe's first career regular-season touchdown gave the Giants their first lead of the night, but it wasn't enough as the Giants fell to the Eagles 19-17. Pascoe's only other touchdown came last postseason in the NFC Championship against San Francisco and was a similar six-yard catch over the middle.
"It was real similar. I was coming from the other side in San Francisco. Both times I was expecting to get hit. That's why on this last touchdown, as I caught it, I kind of got low because I was expecting that safety to be coming and laying a hit. He wasn't there, and I just fell on my face. Hey, I fell on my face in the end zone so it wasn't too bad."

TRUST Curriculum
Curriculum Overview
The Targeted Rural Underserved Track (TRUST) curriculum is a focused medical school experience in rural and underserved healthcare. Its goal is to produce physicians committed to practice in the underserved areas of the WWAMI region.
TRUST scholars have an opportunity to practice with a mentor in a rural town or small city for one or two weeks prior to their first year of medical school. They will return to their site for continued experiences over the course of their medical school education.
General Timeline
In order to participate in their First Summer Experience and future TRUST activities, students must first complete every item on the compliance checklist by May 30, 2014.
TRUST First Summer Experience (May - September before first academic year begins)
TRUST Scholars spend 7 days (WA) to 10-14 days (MT) with a mentor at an underserved or rural community healthcare site, which, in most cases, they will return to for continued experiences.
As included in the TRUST First Summer Experience Guidelines, Scholars will:
- Enroll in the Underserved Pathway
- Complete the Underserved Pathway Public Health Epidemiology Module.
- Complete a Walk Around Discovery Tool to learn more about their TRUST continuity community.
- Meet the Healthcare Team. TRUST Students will have a list of people to meet in their community: TRUST First Summer Experience Meet List.
Academic Year
Year One
The Year One curriculum varies from campus to campus, but all TRUST Scholars:
- Maintain contact with their community site mentor and arrange at least one return visit to their underserved site in the fall and one in the spring
- Establish a second mentoring relationship with a UWSOM College faculty member in Seattle
- Participate in journal club and specialized seminars
- As funding allows, participate in national and regional rural and underserved health conferences once during their medical school career
- Enroll in a rural health selective based on the location of their first-year campus:
Specifications for first year curriculum by campus:
TRUST Scholars two or more return visits to their continuity community during their first year.
Summer After First Year
TRUST Scholars participate in the Rural/Underserved Opportunities Program (R/UOP) and complete an Independent Investigative Inquiry (iii3), in collaboration with their continuity community mentor at their TRUST continuity community. If accepted into Global Health Immersion Program (GHIP), with prior approval and stipulation, GHIP can be substituted for RUOP; students complete their iii3 as part of that program. While GHIP can be an enriching experience, it breaks links with the TRUST continuity community.
Year Two
TRUST Scholars:

Evaluation philosophy:
The TRUST program is relatively small. It will be easy for those evaluating and those being evaluated to identify each other. Feedback in TRUST is to be constructive and collaborative. We will not attempt to hide the identity of the evaluator. Like may experiences later in life, students and faculty need to learn the skill of helping people change their behaviors without destroying relationships. Students will know this from day 1. We will adhere to FERPA rules where they apply.

Berkelium97: As you all know, ESPN's College Gameday came to Cal Saturday morning on their season-long tour. Armed with a camera and four signs, I arrived at campus around 5:30am to see what goes on during Gameday. This is my story.
ragnarok: Mine too! I arrived at the Sproul Pool around quarter to six; Berkelium97 and tmoran3020 were already waiting. With no sign of either Rishi (who arrived late) or royrules22 (who slept through the whole thing), we decided to head down to Haas, where BearStage and AndBears were already waiting in line.
I had heard that Looney's would be providing breakfast for the first 500 fans, and while I didn't quite know what to expect (smokehouse BBQ? naw, not for breakfast...), muffins and Coke Zero didn't quite hit the spot. Chocolate milk was nice, though.
Berkelium97: Anyway, the main reason we were here was for our hilarious signs. This was my 28"x44" Neuheisel sign that never made it to broadcast because I had to take it down. While we were waiting in line, some ESPN girl was going up and down the line approving signs. The sign police were very strict and made Ragnarok take down his "Josh Shipp drinks Zima" sign.
ragnarok: Yeah, that one didn't even make it past the preliminary approval process. I really thought the sign was rather tame, and I was caught off-guard by the whole process. When I went to College Football Gameday in Eugene, Oregon in 2007, there wasn't anyone checking my signs. People brought whatever they wanted!
Berkelium97: After this, we had to have our signs checked at the door to Haas to again make sure they were ESPN-safe. Once in the arena, ESPN employees still wandered around making sure signs weren't offensive. It was worse than passing through airline security. I swear I saw Nestor out there checking signs and banning signs that did not reflect well on UCLA. Although I successfully passed through the first two sign-approvers, an ESPN employee came up to me after we got to our seats and made me take down the Neuheisel sign. I offered to cross out the "bet" part of the sign, but he still said it wouldn't be allowed. Apparently it might be "offensive" to certain people. By certain people, he clearly meant Neuheisel and BruinsNation who obviously can't take a joke. It didn't make sense, as others were allowed to keep their Neuheisal signs. It was very disappointing.
ragnarok: It really, really was disappointing. Here's a photo of Berkelium destroying his own sign, with the help of the ESPN employee.
JShufelt's brilliant work is destroyed by ESPN's thought police.
Berkelium97: This was on the other side of the Neuheisel sign. Thankfully, no one in ESPN knows who pedobear is, so they had no problem with this sign. Huge thanks to CaliforniaBone for taking this sign down to the front and getting it lots of airtime.
CaliforniaBone also helped get this one some attention by bringing it down to the front. This sign references the rule that Josh Shipp clearly broke in hitting the game-winning shot for UCLA against Cal last year.
This was on the other side of the "Rule 3..." sign.
TMoran3020 made this one.
And the backside of tmoran's sign.
ragnarok: Once we were inside, it was time to find some seats. As you can see, most of the arena was empty.
To concentrate the students and get everyone in the TV shots, everyone was shunted into the stands on the West side of Haas Pavilion, behind where ESPN had set up their GameDay booth. Unfortunately, we weren't among the first people in line, so we had to settle for what seats we could get. In the end, I decided to head for behind the band, hoping we could horn in on some gratuitous band shots. We relied on band member CaliforniaBone to get our signs some serious TV time.
You can see our chosen spot under the pedobear sign.
Berkelium97: Best sign of the day. Apparently this guy planned on bringing it to the game, but heard about Gameday at the last minute and decided to bring it.
Rece, Hubert, Digger, and Bobby at the stage. Notice Bobby Knight's red shirt. He was getting yelled at by the students for this.
Digger puts a Cal jersey on Bob, much to the crowd's delight.
Bob turns around to tell us all how his wife dresses him and that he wasn't going to overrule her decision. He then tells us about his son who graduated from Stanford. He was great at playfully antagonizing the crowd.
"No way I'm changing my shirt to please a bunch of students."
He brought this guy over to let us know what a nice shirt he was wearing. Boos rained upon the unfortunate ESPN employee.
You can see the back of the Max sign here. Note the cardboard frame they hand-made for it.
During live filming.
The whole production is actually pretty minimal, with just enough set built to show up on television.
This is what it all looked like on ESPN.
This was weird: he got to keep his sign and it even more overtly referenced Neuheisal and his betting! He even has dollar signs! Dollar signs! Why this guy got to keep his sign and I didn't, I'll never know. Regardless, I like this sign. He even got the ESPN sticker of approval.
ragnarok: You can also notice this guy wearing one of the fan giveaways for the day, a "State Farm"-branded hat that was basically a plush, cartoon-y basketball net. Kinda stupid, if you ask me, but they don't look too bad if everyone is wearing one.
Berkelium97: More good signs: "Bruin girls are easy, but UCLA still can't score," another "What's a Bruin anyway?" "Hip Hip Jorge!"
They would often cut to this board where they were eliminating bubble teams. You could barely see Max and my stimulus $$ sign during these segments.
Lots of good signs here: "Bruins can't handle Randle," "Sarah Palin likes the Bruins," and something saying "Bears Bruins Battlestar Galactica." I have no idea what that Battlestar Galactica poster is supposed to mean.
ragnarok: It's a reference to an episode of "The Office", where Jim does a mocking impression of Dwight.
Berkelium97: At one point, Max's head was brought down to the floor and was run across the back of the stage.
Someone in the band brought in a giant, stuffed bear and passed it around the lower rows.
ragnarok: My favorite part was when one of the band members took their sombrero and then mimed putting the hat on Jay Bilas' head while he was talking about something or other, completely unaware.
For those who've never been to a GameDay taping, they set up screens with the feed from the actual show, so you can see what's going on while it's going on, and cen tell when you and your sign are actually on TV.
"If this was class, I'd be in bed."
"Free Marshawn".
Berkelium97: This was a great shot, it has my stimulus and Pedobruin signs, ragnarok's "Thanks for Tedford," and tmoran's ESPN elements sign.
ragnarok: I feel like I should explain about the "Thanks for Tedford" sign. Originally, I brought that sign to GameDay in Oregon, and I simply reused the cardboard, adding my own signs on top. Of course, after my "Josh Shipp drinks Zima" sign was confiscated, I was left with the "Thanks for Tedford" sign underneath. OK, it didn't make too much sense in context, but I'm still thankful for Tedford.
Berkelium97: Except for the ridiculously strict sign police, this was a great event to attend. Afterwards, Ragnarok, AndBears, and I even walked past Bobby Knight and company on Durant. We exchanged pleasant jabs about Bob's shirt and continued on our merry ways.

With thousands uninsured in Virginia and the state budget hanging on Medicaid expansion, it's become a heated topic throughout the state. Monday night, people in the Shenandoah Valley got a chance to weigh in.
Americans for Prosperity hosted a town hall meeting about Medicaid expansion while 20th District Delegate Dickie Bell (R) took the reins. Bell says reform is needed and opposes Medicaid expansion.
"The commonwealth of Virginia already draws down nearly twice as much as we pay in federal taxes. How much more are we likely to get with Medicaid expansion?" he said.
But others who attended Monday night's meeting at the Waynesboro Public Library spoke in favor of expansion.
"I am really ashamed of the state of Virginia if it does not step up and expand Medicaid," Ruth Jost said.
For the first three years the federal government covers 100 percent of the cost for states that choose to expand Medicaid. After that, Virginia would be responsible for 10 percent.
Bell says he sees the need for expansion, but says it's not sustainable.
"Because at the other end there is no savings. There are expenses, and they will be considerable. And both Governor McAuliffe and Secretary Hazel said they didn't have a plan even for the 10 percent they would have to pay when that 100 percent is reduced to 90 percent," Bell said.
Jost says turning away federal money is an odd standard to use.
"We don't say that about any other kind of federal spending. We accept federal dollars for defense contracts. We accept federal dollars for agriculture. We accept federal dollars for education. We accept federal dollars for the highway and we're smart to do it," she said.
But Jost says it's not the same when it comes to expanding Medicaid, something she believes takes moral precedence. In the meantime, an estimated 400,000 Virginians slip through the cracks.
"It's our neighbors, it's our friends, it's people that we know," Jost said.
Bell says the Medicaid Innovation and Reform Commission has already found ways to save money in the current Medicaid system and hopes they continue to do so.

He says he wants to try to sell it, has no idea where to look. He says he got it when he was helping someone move.
I say, "Okay, bring it over."
So he does, and it's all these binders and notebooks and stuff. I'm like, "uhh...did you bring the right box?" and he's like "Yeah, take a look."
Personnel files. Combine data. Scouting reports. DVD of game film. Holy [site decorum], Batman.
I ask him where he got it, he says he helped someone move who worked for the team. I ask him what his name was and he says "Scot" -- I immediately ask "Scot McCloughan?" and he confirms it.
I keep looking, and sure enough, there's Seahawks stuff in the box. There's also a copy of Scot's contract with the team, signed by John York and Roger Goodell. (I think it may be a fax copy.)
I have absolutely no idea where to go to sell this stuff, so I figured I'd come here. Any ideas?

The Future of Polar-orbiting Satellites:
On May 5, 1994, President Clinton made the landmark decision to merge the nation's military and civil operational meteorological satellite systems into a single, national system capable of satisfying both civil and national security requirements for space-based remotely sensed environmental data. Convergence of these programs is the most significant change in U.S. operational remote sensing since the launch of the first weather satellite in April 1960.
The U.S. government has traditionally maintained two operational weather satellite systems, each with a 30-plus year heritage of successful service: NOAA's Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite (POES), and DoD's Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). Recent changes in world political events and declining agency budgets prompted a re-examination of combining the two systems.
On Oct. 3, 1994, NOAA, DoD, and NASA created an Integrated Program Office (IPO) to develop, manage, acquire, and operate the NPOESS system.
As an early step in the convergence process and the first tangible result of the NPOESS effort, Satellite Control Authority for the existing DMSP satellites was transferred in May 1998 from the U.S. Air Force Space Command to the NPOESS Integrated Program Office. The command, control, and communications functions for the DMSP satellites have been combined with the control for NOAA's POES satellites at NOAA's Satellite Operations Control Center (SOCC) in Suitland, Md. The DMSP satellites are being flown@ by civilian personnel at the SOCC. This is the first time in the 30-plus-year history of this DoD program that the DMSP satellites have not been flown by Air Force personnel. A backup satellite operations center, manned by USAF Reserve personnel, was established at Schriever Air Force Base, Colo. This interagency team effort has provided the U.S. government with new, state-of-the-technology satellite control equipment that has resulted in significant budgetary savings, as well as uninterrupted service to the end users.
The Presidents FY2011 budget takes significant new steps. The White House has announced that NOAA and the Air Force will no longer continue to jointly procure the polar-orbiting satellite system called NPOESS. This decision is in the best interest of the American public to preserve critical operational weather and climate observations into the future.
The three agencies (DOD, NOAA and NASA) have and will continue to partner to ensure a successful way forward for the respective programs, while utilizing international partnerships to sustain and enhance weather and climate observation from space.
The major challenge of NPOESS was jointly executing the program between three agencies of different size with divergent objectives and different acquisition procedures. The new system will resolve this challenge by splitting the procurements. NOAA and NASA will take primary responsibility for the afternoon orbit, and DOD will take primary responsibility for the morning orbit. The agencies will continue to partner in those areas that have been successful in the past, such as a shared ground system. The restructured programs will also eliminate the NPOESS tri-agency structure that that has made management and oversight difficult, contributing to the poor performance of the program.
NOAA and the Air Force have already begun to move into a transition period during which the current joint procurement will end. A detailed plan for this transition period will be available in a few weeks. The agencies will continue a successful relationship that that they have developed for their polar and geostationary satellite programs to date. NOAAs portion will notionally be named the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) and will consist of platforms based on the NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) satellite.
In addition, these Agencies have a strong partnership with Europe through the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) that will continue to be a cornerstone of our polar-orbiting constellation, and will ensure our ability to provide continuous measurements.
These changes to the NPOESS program will better ensure continuity of crucial civil climate and weather data in the future. Decisions on future satellite programs will be made to ensure the best plan for continuity of data.
While the Air Force continues to have remaining Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) polar-orbiting satellites available for launch for the next few years, NOAA launched its final polar-orbiting satellite in February 2009. Given that weather forecasters and climate scientists rely on the data from NOAAs current on-orbit assets, efforts will focus development of the first of the JPSS platforms on ensuring both short- and long-term continuity in crucial climate and weather data.
NASAs role in the restructured program will be modeled after the procurement structure of the successful POES and GOES programs, where NASA and NOAA have a long and effective partnership. Work is proceeding rapidly with NOAA to establish a JPSS program at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC).
DOD remains committed to a partnership with NOAA in preserving the Nation's weather and climate sensing capability. For the morning orbit, the current DOD plan for deploying DMSP satellites ensures continued weather observation capability. The availability of DMSP satellites supports a short analysis (in cooperation with the partner agencies) of DOD requirements for the morning orbit and solutions with the start of a restructured program in the 4th quarter of fiscal year 2011. While this study is being conducted, DOD will fully support NOAA's needs to ensure continuity of data in the afternoon orbit by transitioning appropriate and relevant activities from the current NPOESS effort.

If you can avoid Nod Road in Clinton as best as possible from the end of this month to April of next year, that would be ideal.
But in a perfect world, those who live, work and travel on the road will be inconvenienced while a major reconstruction project is taking place.
Information about the work has been provided to town department heads such as the police, fire, selectmen and representatives from the school bus company, and mailed to the residents on Nod Road, Nod Place, Martin Drive and Sunnybrook Lane.
Here's an explanation of the project provided to Patch by Peter Neff, director of the town's Department of Public Works:
Nod Road will be undergoing major reconstruction over the next 10 months starting at the end of October. Despite our best attempts to not close the road, the replacement of three culverts (open drain under the road) will require the road to be closed at three different locations at three different times; therefore the length of time the road will be closed to through traffic is significant. We anticipate that the first road closure will occur by the end of October, 2012.
Phase 1: The first culvert to be replaced is on the Eastern end of Nod Road, just prior to Martin Drive, as you travel from North High Street towards the I-95 overpass. It is anticipated that the road will close October 29 and reopen the first week in December. This schedule is subject to modification depending upon weather or unanticipated conditions.
Phase 2: Upon completion of Phase 1, the second culvert on the western end of Nod Road will be replaced. This culvert is located east of the I-95 overpass as you head towards North High Street. It is anticipated that Nod Road will be closed at this location the first week of December and reopen the first week in January. This schedule is subject to modification depending upon weather or unanticipated conditions.
Phase 3: Upon completion of Phase 2, the center culvert located between Martin Drive and Sunnybrook Lane road will be replaced. It is anticipated that the road will be closed at this location the first week in January and reopen the last week in January. This schedule is subject to modification depending upon weather or unanticipated conditions.
Phase 4: The entire road from North High Street to just east of Nod Place will be reconstructed including upgraded drainage, guide-rail work, some minor road realignment and new pavement. It is anticipated that this work will start March 1, 2013 and continue through April, 2013. This schedule is subject to change.
As you are aware, Nod Road is one of the town's major roads and services a number of businesses, the Transfer Facility and the Department of Public Works. Nod Road is also a highly traveled road and there is no question that this project will be disruptive to numerous organizations, businesses and the school system. If you would like to receive updates by email, please email firstname.lastname@example.com with your name and email address. I will be putting out periodic updates on the project schedule and road closures. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me, Peter Neff, at (office) 860-664-1100 or (fax) 860-664-0167

National health expenditures — the total amount America spends on health care, combining both the public and private spheres — grew only 3.8 percent in May, according to a new report. That's down from 4.2 percent in April, and about as low a growth rate as the country's seen in the last 20 years. Furthermore, total health care expenditures have stabilized at around 18 percent of the economy since 2009. While it's difficult to separate the effects of the recession and policy changes, there's reason to believe the passage of health care reform — with its myriad reforms to how both government and private entities pay for health care — has had something to do with this.
Growth In Health Care Spending Remains Low

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- The Kansas Supreme Court has ruled that the non-biological mother of children in a same-sex relationship can have the same parental rights as the biological mother.
The Kansas City Star reports Friday's ruling involved two Johnson County women, Kelly Goudschaal and Marci Frazier, who separated after they become parents of two children. After the separation, Goudschaal moved with the children to Texas and limited Frazier's visitations.
Frazier sought to enforce a parenting agreement each had signed. A Johnson County judge found that joint custody was "in the best interests of the children" and granted Frazier "reasonable parenting time."
Goudschaal appealed, arguing that the parenting agreement was unenforceable.
The high court, however, said not enforcing the parenting agreement would deny the children the opportunity to have two parents.

Haitian President Michel Martelly is taking steps to rebuild Haiti's military, more than 15 years after the armed forces were first disbanded, according to a document obtained by the Associated Press. The plan aims for "an initial force of 3,500 soldiers" directed at patrolling the country's border with the Dominican Republic, maintaining security "during times of crisis" and providing jobs for young people, reports the AP. Over time, the new $95-million National Council of Defense and Security could replace United Nations troops as they withdraw beginning next year. The first 500 soldiers of the initial force are expected to be recruited over the next two months.

Robert's Latin America Round-Up
The United Nations believes now is the time for a "gradual drawdown" of some peacekeepers from Haiti, according to statements by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and MINUSTAH (United Nations Stabilization Force in Haiti) chief Mariano Fernandez. Currently, MINUSTAH comprises more than 12,000 soldiers and police. The U.N. wants to reduce this number to 9,450, near the level of peacekeepers before the January 2010 earthquake. That's effectively two infantry battalions and more than 1,000 police officers.

Link to NASA antigravity experiment information
The two scientists who did most of the work for NASA (both theoretical and experimental) were Ning Li and Douglas Torr. I have read and understood several of the scholarly papers they published in various physics journals, and I must say I was very impressed. I rank these two people in the category of "brilliant and accomplished thinkers."
Li and Torr had already done a certain amount of theoretical work in the area of antigravity when the world got the news that someone in Finland named Podkletnov had created a device which would shield gravity, and thus would cause objects to weigh less when they were suspended above the device. His device consisted of a rotating superconductor disk which was magnetically suspended. So apparently NASA commissioned Li and others to try to replicate the experiment of Podkletnov, and this is what the online paper found at the above link is all about.
However, what the Physica C paper by Li, and others, discussed was an experiment using a NON-rotating superconductor disk. The overall results of the experiment were negative (or at least not anywhere near the magnitude of the effect Podkletnov had achieved). They stated in the paper that they would do later research using a rotating superconductor disk and would publish the results. As far as I am aware, the rotating disk experiment was either never done, or there were never any publications which resulted from it. The last published papers by Ning Li, as far as I can tell, were done in the 1997 time frame. If I am wrong about this, please let me know.
After looking at the writeups about the NASA experiment and the Podkletnov experiment, I could see that both of the experiments were severely BLUNDERED! Yes, you heard that right. I'm sure both parties will be rather embarassed when you tell them the following, and see what their reaction is. Using the "Maxwellized" equations of gravity, and knowing the fact that the vortical motion (or spin vector) of the lattice ions in the disk must be aligned in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the disk, then the field lines of the "gravitomagnetic field" must be perpendicular to the plane of the disk also. This "gravitomagnetic field" would change with time, due to either the RF electric and magnetic fields applied, or to the spinning of the disk, or both. Indeed, in order to either create ordinary gravity or shield ordinary gravity, you must have a changing "gravitomagnetic field" in order to create that ordinary gravity field (per the "Maxwellized Equations"). Fact is, according to the "Maxwellized Equations", that the
ordinary gravity field
created by a changing (in strength), but always vertically oriented, gravitomagnetic field,
would have to be HORIZONTAL
, not vertical. In fact, the field lines of the generated ordinary gravity field are both horizontal and circular in nature. As an analogy, since the two types of gravity fields (i.e. ordinary gravity fields and "gravitomagnetic" fields) interact with each other exactly like electric and magnetic fields interact with each other, then consider the following. Any degreed electrical engineer will tell you that a collapsing vertical magnetic field will induce a circular horizontal electric field. This is the principle by which electrical generators work. Similarly, if a permanent magnet is thrust vertically through a horizontal circular coil of wire, then an electrical voltage is induced in the coil, due to the circular electric field which is produced by the moving magnet.
So, both NASA and Podkletnov were measuring for a change in gravity in THE WRONG DIRECTION!! They should have looked for any changes in gravity in the HORIZONTAL direction. Thus, the hanging weight in those experiments must have been pulled slightly either to the left or right (but not enough that they could visually see it).
The reason that Podkletnov got any results at all in the VERTICAL direction was simply due to the residual bending of the fields from the perfect horizontal, due to the finite size of the disk producing the fields. Then, there would have been a small but measurable vertical component to the generated gravity field.
I somehow suspect that Li and others knew about this huge mistake, but did the experiment anyway just like Podkletnov had done it (except with no rotation, oddly enough). After all, they were commissioned to reproduce the same effects as Podkletnov had observed. So why embarass Podkletnov when they could instead confirm and validate him?
But why didn't NASA go ahead and do the rotating version of the experiment? Maybe NASA and crew know alot more about antigravity than they want us to know....
Why do you think they have drastically cut spending (their new motto is "smaller, cheaper, better") on space programs which use expensive chemical rocket technology? Perhaps they know that inexpensive and efficient propulsion methods such as antigravity are at the doorstep, and so any more spending on conventional rockets would be a waste of money.

The N.C. State Fair ended Sunday with attendance over the 11-day stretch near an all-time high, but short of the most recent years. We can safely say this will be the third-highest attendance fair, said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler Sunday night.
Officials announced the total attendance on Monday, with 965,297 walking through the gates over the 11-day period. That is lower than the last two years with 1,009,173 fairgoers in 2011 and a record attendance of 1,091,887 in 2010.
State fair attendance is a little bit of a roller coaster, said Brian Long, a spokesman for the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, citing those peaks as well as two years since 2000 with attendance at less than 700,000. This was the 143rd fair since 1853.
Sundays crowds enjoyed the rides, games and turkey legs under blue skies and 66-degree weather.
Among them were best friends Ashley Drager and Holly Keller, both of Raleigh. They brought Kellers 2-year-old son, Greyson, to enjoy a Mount Olive pickle, some peanuts and his first ride on a Ferris wheel. We really come for Als fries, Keller said.
Food of the fried variety was the draw for Lara Madding of Cary.
I like the fried stuff and the mini-donuts, said Madding after trying to coax her sons, Eli, 5, and Levi, 3, to get their photo taken with Read-a-roo, UNC-TVs kangaroo mascot, who introduces children to the joys of reading.
This was the fourth visit to this years fair for the Madding family. About his sons, Dan Madding said, Living in suburbia, they only know what a chicken and a goat look like because of the fair.
For the fair vendors, it was better for some than others.
Scott Strother, who teamed up with the Girl Scouts of North Carolina to sell deep-fried Girl Scout Cookies, said he didnt get close to selling out of the 7,000 boxes of Caramel DeLites that he bought before the fair. People just arent spending money, Strother said.
He did, however, sell out of the deep-fried Thin Mints that he started selling halfway through the fair. Those 5,000 cookies were gone by Saturday morning. The Thin Mint lovers were ranting and raving about those, Strother says.
Girl Scout Cookie fans can breathe easy. Strother says he will be back next year.
Sales werent down at the North Raleigh Exchange Club booth, which sells bags of peanuts for charity as it has done every year for the last 46 years.
Sales are going very good this year, said longtime member Charles Campbell Jr., who noted the group has raised $750,000 over the years for such charitable causes as Safe Child and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Asked if they get sick of peanuts by the fairs end, Michael Minotti said, We eat enough for the whole year.
Not everyone was happy to see the fairs last day. Evelyn Johnson, who works in the Education Building answering questions on the canning contest, said she enjoys seeing the regular crew of workers during the fair. Now it will be another year before she sees them again.
Johnson said, It gives you a sad feeling.

Boston Marathon organizers say runners who couldn't finish this year's race because of the explosions at the finish line can come back next year.
The Boston Athletic Association says people who passed the halfway checkpoint but not the finish line will get a code they can use to sign up in August. Regular registration for the 2014 Boston Marathon is scheduled to start in September.
The invitation applies to more than 5,000 people who were stopped on the course when the race was shut down at 2:50 p.m.
No decision has been made on whether the field will expand to include an expected influx of runners who say they want to run next year to support the race and the city.

Welcome to Wisconsin Association of FFA
Established in 1929, the Wisconsin Association of FFA is an association of the National FFA Organization whose mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. Wisconsin has 255 FFA chapters statewide and over 19,000 members.
The FFA operates on local, state and national levels. Student members belong to chapters organized at the local school district. In order for a school district to charter and maintain an FFA chapter, there must be a certified licensed agricultural educator hired by the school district who then also serves as the chapter advisor.
FFA members are part of a total program in agricultural education, consisting of classroom instruction in agriculture, supervised agricultural experiences where students gain career skills and on the job training and leadership development through the FFA organization.

Valorie Eversole, Daily Union Editor, and The Associated Press
High winds brought damage to trees and out buildings around Shelby County Sunday afternoon, but fortunately no tornadoes or injuries were reported. The winds were part of a massive storm system that marched quickly through the Midwest toward the eastern coast.
"We got pretty lucky with this one. I can't say that enough," said Shelby County Emergency Management Services (EMA) administrator Jared Rowcliffe. "The hardest hit areas was Dollville and there were power lines down south of Findlay and around Henton. Five substations were down and crews were working on them."
Tornadoes were reported in some of the neighboring counties including Christian, Fayette and Effingham. The Effingham County Sheriff's department confirmed one tornado northwest of Altamont east of Route 128. That twister blew over trees, damaged houses, and destroyed a barn. Power lines fell over roadways in the St. Elmo and Brownstown areas.
The unusually powerful late-season wave of thunderstorms brought damaging winds and tornadoes to 12 states: Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and western New York.
Bill Bunting, forecast operations chief of the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said the storms all belonged to the same system.
Illinois was the hardest struck with at least six people killed and dozens more injured.
An 80-year-old man and his 78-year-old sister were killed by a tornado that hit their farmhouse near the rural southern Illinois community of New Minden, coroner Mark Styninger said. A third person died in Washington, while three others perished in Massac County in the far southern part of the state, said Patti Thompson of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency. She did not provide details.
Communications remained difficult and with many roads impassable it was not clear if the injury and death tolls would rise on Monday.
Washington, a town of 16,000 about 140 miles southwest of Chicago, appeared to have suffered the most severe damage. The EF-4 tornado cut a path about an eighth of a mile wide from one side of town to the other with winds between 170 and 190 miles per hour.
Meanwhile, a tornado that touched down in southern Illinois near New Minden, about 45 miles southeast of St. Louis, also had a preliminary rating of an EF-4. A northern Illinois tornado near Coal City had wind gusts between 111 and 135 miles per hour, making it an EF-2.
The Illinois National Guard assisted with search and recovery operations in Washington. The White House issued a statement saying President Barack Obama had been briefed about the damage and was in touch with federal, state and local officials.
Monday Governor Pat Quinn declared seven counties state disaster areas: Champaign, Grundy, LaSalle, Massac, Tazewell, Washington and Woodford counties.
"Yesterday (Sunday) Illinois was hit extremely hard by deadly tornadoes that left many in a great deal of pain and loss," Governor Quinn said Monday. "Although we are still receiving reports of massive damage to communities across our state, we want to make sure people are getting the assistance and resources they need as quickly as possible. As we pray for the families of those who have lost their lives and others who are injured, the state of Illinois will do everything necessary to help these communities recover."
Just how many tornadoes hit was unclear. Although about 80 reports of tornadoes had come in as of Sunday night, the National Weather Service's Bunting said the actual number will likely be in the 30 to 40 range. He said that's because the same tornado often gets reported multiple times.
Weather service meteorologist Matt Friedlein said such weather is rare this late in the year, but that strong winds coupled with temperatures in the 60s and 70s spawned Sunday's storms.

"Gator Chompin' #GatorNation join me Oh and add me to that #1 recruiting class"
This is a tweet from former Georgia OL commit Trenton Brown, who has apparently just decided that he wants to wear jean shorts in 2013. If you don't follow recruiting too closely, let me catch you up to speed on just what happened between Mr. Brown and Georgia.
Brown, a 3-star recruit out of Georgia Military College, committed to the Dawgs in August and we were all ecstatic. Shorty thereafter, Brown had Florida as the leader in his recruitment while remaining committed to Georgia. The whole saga began when Florida asked uncommitted Laremy Tunsil, Georgia's top OL target, for some dirt on Brown and the Dawgs. Florida somehow gathered from this conversation that Brown might end up playing guard at Georgia if Tunsil, the top-rated tackle in the country, finds his way to Athens.
Coach Larry Muschamp and his congregation of bellysliders took this information to the coaching staff at GMC, it made its way to Brown's ears and, not being too keen on playing guard, he decommitted from Georgia. Brown's coaches at GMC, poisoned by their discussions with Muschamp's minions, basically informed the offensive lineman that Georgia was misleading him in their intentions for him in Coach Will Friend's unit. Bert Williams, Brown's coach at GMC recalls a conversation with Brown, "From what he told me, he felt like he wasn't shot straight with what (Georgia's) plans for him were. I can tell (Brown and his father) were kind of upset with things as far as what they anticipated him playing." For the record, Coach Williams argued against Brown decommitting from Georgia.
So there you have it, folks, we've been Muschumped.
I have mixed feelings on this issue. I am angry with Florida's recruiting goons for planting the seeds of doubt in the mind of an impressionable young man, but I also understand that recruiting is a brutal, no-holds-barred kind of business. I am disappointed to lose a quality player like Brown, especially to them, but I am firmly of the belief that the coaches know better than the player regarding the latter's potential as a college-level athlete. Let's say Brown would have made a better guard in the SEC. Would he have outright refused to play the position even if it were in the best interests of the team? If he is, in fact, a tackle-or-bust kind of player, allow me to personally direct him to 75 South
So how should we get back at Larry and friends? Well, Georgia does in fact still need offensive linemen and 3-star guard Joshua Outlaw, a former Florida commit from Lithonia, is in fact still uncommitted. I recommend Georgia's coaching staff make a serious run at Outlaw not only out of principle but also out of need. He's one kid who has already seen through Florida's lies.
