Voters in Valdosta are a step closer to deciding whether to allow Sunday alcohol sales.
City council members had the first reading of the ordinance last night.
If they approve it, a referendum could be placed on the November ballot.
By next year in Valdosta you may be able to buy alcohol on Sundays at liquor, convenience, and grocery stores. City manager Larry Hanson says people have been contacting council members asking to vote on this.
"Really don't see this as a revenue issue but more of a convenience issue for people so it'll be interesting to see how the council responds and how our citizens respond," said Hanson.
He says it would benefit those convenience and grocery stores that are already open on Sundays.
If the referendum's approved by voters the stores would be able to sell from 12:30 p.m. to 11:30 at night.
"I think an opening hour of 12:30 is good but may be they should close earlier," said Paul Cronin of Valdosta.
And the city manager says according to Georgia law they could further restrict the times.
"People if they want to drink they're going to go get it," said Mike Carter.
Mike Carter is the owner of the Valdosta DUI school.
"Florida did this several years ago, Sunday sales. Things in Florida didn't change that much as far as tickets or any other day. It was a typical day. The only reaction they had was from churches."
The city manager says they decided to consider it this year since there's already a city election and there'd be no extra cost to add the question on the ballot.
Council members could vote on the ordinance July 21st.

TUPELO, OK -- Josh Stein, a marine and father, fought for his country in Afghanistan. After returning just two months ago, he is fighting for his life at an Oklahoma City Hospital.
"His ribs are broken on both sides. His lungs are bruised and one has a hole in them. His liver is bruised and has a tear in it. He's lost part of an ear," Stein's grandmother Nellie Hunter explained.
Stein is still in critical condition after being hit by a vehicle in a parking lot. Nellie Hunter is caring for her grandson's children as his wife and parents stay at OU Medical Center.
"[The children] don't know. Like I said, they got dressed and they think they're going to church and their daddy will be back to get them because, you know, they come every other weekend here," said Hunter.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol named Rowdy Colton Wright as a person of interest. They were able to question Wright on Monday when he also turned in his pickup for forensic testing.
"We are in consultation with the district attorney and once the investigation is completed, a full report will be delivered for their review. At this time, our thoughts are with the Stein family as they deal with the critical injuries sustained in this encounter," OHP Troop F Commander Captain Ronnie Hampton said in a release.
For Hunter, the uncertainty is worse than the injuries."Just knowing that he does not have brain damage and he will wake up- the healing we could take fine. It's the not knowing," Hunter said.

The Little Brother of That Fish On Moldy
He sure didn't need hoisting like Big Mama. But he did come from the Chessie, so sort of kind of the same experience. Yes, that's what it was.
And So It Begins (Book Saga Continues)
Tosh Brown flew in to Baltimore and I was an hour late picking him up, violating one of my guiding life principles: Never piss off a Texan. But the book project rolls on.
We beelined it up to Havre De Grace, where the Susquehanna River empties into the northernmost reaches of the Chesapeake Bay. From there we drove up through Delaware and to the Jersey Shore. I had to bail after the first five days of this leg, but Tosh headed back down to Maryland to catch up with more rocks on the way down to Annapolis.
Special thanks go to many people for making this trip possible:
Bob Popovics and his entire crew. (And for that awesome dinner at your restaurant, Shady Rest.)
And last but not least the tireless John Page Williams of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
More details to come, and just in case it's not patently obvious, the above photo is mine not Tosh's and will not be found in anything remotely resembling a fly fishing photography book.
So You Want To Catch a Bass, Son?
The first thing you do is drive west. Past all the planned communities and through the endless horizon of cane fields, some thick with smoke from controlled burn, and make your way to the big lake.
Then drive onto and over the levee and the single lane bridge and meet buddy Don at the launch ramp. Don is a tournament bass fisherman. He's pre-fishing and you're going along for the ride, skating at 60 on the pad.
Don can do some things with a baitcaster in his hand. He's working the bass in shallow, going off the grid and you're trying to cast your fly rod in and around the tall grass and strip your so-called weedless through the dense vegetation.
The bass key in on that soft Gambler. You can watch them follow your fly back to the boat but only the little button bucks take action. You'll let Don have all those seven-pounders come tournament time.
Sitting Here In Limbo
It's been slim, I won't deny it. But I'm counting the days because in a week's time I'll be kicking off a jag taking me far afield in salt and fresh alike and I'm picking out flies for what's to come and trying to speed up time but then stop it. The anticipation is fun, too.
Travelin' Light
My new gig takes me on the road with a Pelican case full of gear. Checked bag fees make it hard to swing packing extra and carrying on a rod tube is questionable some days.
Still the rule is a rod always goes on the road, even if you don't know if you can break it out, even when doing so calls for improvisation. That rod is now impervious to destruction.
Judas Goats and Other Memories of the Galapagos
The Galapagos had a feral goat problem so the powers that be hunted them down and killed them. They used a tactic called the "Judas Goat," where they captured a goat, fitted it with a radio collar, and released it back into the wild. The Judas Goat would return to the herd and scientists and hunters would track it by helicopter and gun them all down. They were conducting this on the islands of Isabela and Santiago during our trip there to chase striped marlin.
We stopped at a spot the goats might be. There was a path marked by a goat skull nailed to a post. The last Judas here must have done his job; live goats were nowhere to be found.
The bays had lava rocks jutting out along a few crescents. The rocks held fish that had never seen a lure or fly. Whatever they took to be prey had always heretofore been that; they had no reason to be wary or conditioned. We had Internationals on stand up rods and fourteen weights for the marlin; total overkill here. But we also had a few light spinning rigs and plugs belowdecks.
The first fish, a buckhead parrotfish, came rocketing to the surface after the plug, we could see it slashing uninhibited all the way. The Judas Fish, we joked. If it hadn't done it we may have given up and moved on.
The scientists declared victory over the goats a few years later, in 2009. It had to be done. When people put animals where they're not supposed to be, they just keep doing what they do even to their own detriment.
Less Than Zero
Florida is a cruel place to be when there's fishing to be done and you're not doing it. But I was down on someone else's dime and had a job to do that didn't allow for deviation, even to accept Marshall DeMott's invitation to chase juvie tarpon.
Not that the fishing would have been favorable. The thermometer dipped into the 30s at night–they had snow flurries up north in Tallahassee on Friday–and today the temp seems to be holding at 55 degrees with a fierce north wind blowing everything out of whack.
These fish down here, they must be out of their minds, being run through a washing machine jumble of winter weather patterns over an extended period. Had I gone I could imagine a scenario of lockjaw and retreat. So I'm writing the whole thing off as a skunk avoided.

Cuban 'scorpion' drug cleared for Jamaica
MONTHS after Cuban government representatives introduced cancer-fighting drug Vidatox to Jamaican distributors, the item is to be sold here soon.
A team from the Cuban drug company Labiofam is in Jamaica to tie up a deal with a major local distributor, following approval given by the Ministry of Health.
"We are close to signing an agreement with a large distributor," Dr Carmen Morales Paneque, specialist in clinical trials at Labiofam told the Jamaica Observer in an interview.
"We registered Vidatox here on June 18, and we have received approval from Jamaica's Ministry of Health so now we are here to sign contracts with that distributor, which I am sure will happen before we leave Jamaica.
"I don't want to disclose the name of that company now, but its representatives will do so at the appropriate time," said Morales Paneque, a gynaecologist, biologist and clinical researcher at the Havana headquartered company, which employs over 4,400 Cubans between its main plant and branches islandwide.
The Ministry of Health disclosed yesterday that it had given approval for the prescription drug to be placed in Jamaican pharmacies.
"The Ministry of Health can confirm that the drug Vidatox has been registered in Jamaica," Stephanie Shaw Smith, the ministry's manager of public relations and communication told the Observer.
"Once a drug is registered and the manufacturer is notified, it can then be placed on the market," she added.
Vidatox, made from the venom of the Rhopalrus Junceus scorpion, which is endemic to Cuba, is already being used in countries of Asia, Europe, North, South and Central America, to help in the fight against various cancers.
A further 70 requests from other countries for the drug to be registered there, have been made, Morales Paneque said.
Cuban authorities say that over 25,000 people from Italy travel to Cuba each year for cancer treatment, which includes the use of Vidatox.
The drug has been used to treat cancer-related ailments among the Cuban population for over 200 years, but has been formally integrated in the Cuban drug culture for about 30 years.
Cuban medical officials have said that the drug is safe, with no side effects and is being used by thousands worldwide to treat cancers including those which affect the cervix, pancreas, prostate, lung, breast, colon, brain, among others.
Extensive research of over 15 years led to Vidatox being developed in a Cuban laboratory, and officials said that they were given enough proof that its anti-inflammatory and anti-analgesic properties were as like the rural folk had been saying for several years.
The drug is said to prolong life by destroying cancerous tumours in some cases, reducing pain and boosting the immune system.
The Cuban government has commercialised the project by having scorpion-rearing farms across every province in the island of 12 million inhabitants to meet the growing global demand.
The scorpion grows to an average of four inches in length and the venom may be extracted from it every 21 days.
Inarvis Martinez Monte de Oca, senior official of the marketing and export division of Labiofam, said that there was increasing demand for Vidatox, adding that the Cuban authorities were putting systems in place to deal with it.
Jamaica and the Caribbean, she said, had shown great interest in Vidatox and talks were ongoing with a view to supplying it to various markets.
Cuba is highly respected for its health care.
Hundreds of Jamaican doctors and other medical personnel have been trained in the Socialist country since diplomatic relations were established between both islands in 1973.

An un-welcomed guest, of the viral nature, managed to invade our home the past couple of days while Mike was on a business trip. On the bright side, his visit with each of us was staggered, and my symptoms were far worse than those of Jack and Amelia's. On the not-so-bright side, we didn't have a three-tier cake at our bedside.
Before the afore-mentioned guest stuck a hot poker to the backs of our throats, we had been having such a fun week. I mentioned Amelia was taking a few little "classes." On Wednesday, she had a science class, which is probably the one she and I have both been looking forward to the most! The lady who teaches them (a group of about 5 children) is one of the sweetest ladies you would ever want to meet. I first met her about a year ago, and I knew instantly she was someone I wanted my children to experience. She reminds me a lot of my Aunt Sue, my mother's sister. Maybe that is why I am so drawn to her. Maybe that is why Amelia is so drawn to her, too.
Now that Mike is back home, we can hopefully all fully recuperate ... just as soon as he bakes us that three-tier cake ... just kidding. ;o)

Swiss Ramble does AC Milan
If you aren't familiar with this site, he does exhaustive reviews of various clubs' finances, looking at the finer details of revenues and expenditures, and more often than not explaining how a particular team is spending themselves to death. I figured Milan was running huge deficits every year, but nothing on this sort of scale. "If we exclude tax movements and profit from player sales, then the adjusted loss for Milan over the last four years would add up to a colossal €386 million with three of those four years coming in over the €100 million mark." Of course the sale of Kaka offsets this substantially, but it underlines the fact that they're fielding a world-class squad (and payroll) without the revenues necessary to pay for it. Better hope the ownership maintains its ability to be obsessively generous in the upcoming years.

Fearful of Genetically-Modified Crops? You're Too Late
Ethonomic Indicator of the Day: 93% of U.S. soybeans are genetically modified.
Frankenfood! It's the evil-sounding name given to genetically modified crops by organic enthusiasts fearful that altering nature's design will result in irreparable damage to either the environment or our bodies. And there is a good chance that they're right. The fight against GM crops has been intensifying of late, with the USDA approving modified alfalfa early this year, despite protests from big organic (which might be less worried about the potential risks and mostly worried about their organic certification). Because a cow that eats GM alfalfa is no longer organic, no matter how it was raised, and GM alfalfa has the extra ability to spread like kudzu--even to places where it's not supposed to be, like an adjacent field of original-gene alfalfa.
But these fights should not give the impression that we are about to step over a precipice into a world full of GM crops. We did that in 1996. See this chart from the USDA:
That's right. Nearly 100% of all soybeans grown in the U.S. are genetically modified to resist weed-killers that used to also kill the soybeans along with the weeds. And Bt cotton and corn--which have had genes from a soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis jammed inside them to help them resist insects--both comprise about three-quarters of all the acreage of that crop.
The era of the frankenfood is already here. If it turns out to be a devastating problem, it may be already too late. Take a look at your lunch today--corn syrup, anyone?--you've likely ingested some modified strands of corn DNA. How are you feeling? Better question: How will you be feeling in 50 years?

Please go through this URL to know more about how harm are GM crops
This as simple as any point of commonsense. Anything and everything that we do artificially is only artificial and not natural. Whatever the wealth or virtue of artificial means will have to be perished one day. Science ideally should not hamper the sustainability of environment. The U. S. by its policies and practices is becoming more evil and insane day by day and a and at last it will remain as the cause of the extinct of life on the earth.
I think the real ethonomic dimension here is "big organic" spreading disinformation about GM crops. There is absolutely no evidence of nor any rational cause to believe there would be a threat to health or the environment. The human impact is that people who could prosper by farming and get good nutrition are instead living in poverty and dying of starvation because of bad science and FUD.
Please, someone, anyone, show the science that GMO is bad for us.
"...will result in irreparable damage to either the environment or our bodies. And there is a good chance that they're right."
At minimum that statement demands a reference. Please try to avoid non-scientific fear-mongering. See: that whole vaccine/autism debacle.

On Saturday evening chanting and beating drums could be heard through the streets of midtown Manhattan. New York Red Bulls fans took over.
33rd street from Greeley Square to Fifth avenue was shut down to accommodate a large gathering of fans from supporters groups —including the Empire Supporters Club, Garden State Ultras, and Viking Army— who showed their support for the Red Bulls, ahead of their nationally televised (ESPN, 8pm ET) clash with rivals LA Galaxy.
The scenes were colorful, lively and loud as fans marched down the street before entering Legends Bar, to watch New York's trip to the Home Depot Center.
Eric Rios, a board member of the Empire Supporters Club, was pleased with the turnout at the first event of its kind this season. "We got a lot of people, we made some noise. That's what's it's all about."
We've got two big television broadcasts on Cinco de Mayo! Sounders FC host the Union at 4:30pm ET on NBC Sports Network, and LA Galaxy host the Red Bulls at 8:00pm ET on ESPN.

Back on Tuesday, we blogged about Washington Wizards star point guard John Wall showing up at a club in Miami wearing not a D.C. United jersey, but that of rival New York Red Bulls.
Well clearly the front-office brass of D.C. United wanted to rectify the situation as United striker Chris Pontius (@chrispontius13) tweeted this today:
Hooking John Wall up with a jersey instagr.am/p/J7onY9uer4/
— Chris Pontius (@ChrisPontius13) April 27, 2012
Perhaps Wall caught the highlights of the recent D.C. United vs. Red Bulls game and decided to ditch NY in favor of his city's kit or perhaps Wall just prefers the black and red D.C.'s jersey offers if, after all, MLS gear is his clubbing gear of choice.
Look who it is, that's right, it's the expected No. 1 pick at this year's NFL Draft, Andrew Luck.
With the Indianapolis Colts stating on Tuesday that they will pick Luck to plug the mammoth gap left by Peyton Manning at quarterback, you can excuse Luck for being a little overwhelmed.
If he is, he's not showing it. He spoke with Jimmy Conrad from Kick TV about the upcoming draft, Clint Dempsey, the Houston Dynamo and his general love for soccer. What a gentleman.
And don't forget Luck's father, Oliver, was president of the Dynamo from 2005 until 2007.
MLS is in his blood and it's obviously there to stay.
Washington Wizards star point guard John Wall showed MLS some love the other day, but not the kind D.C. sports fans want to see. Wall wasn't sporting a D.C. United jersey, but the shirt of fierce rivals, the New York Red Bulls. Ouch.
The first overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft was recently spotted showing off his Red Bulls jersey at Club Play in Miami Beach.
After a stellar career at the University of Kentucky, Wall has carved out a name for himself in the NBA, finishing runner-up for Rookie of the Year honors in 2011.
Wall grew up in North Carolina, so why the Red Bulls jersey, United fans might be asking?
Beats me.
Also, one last lingering thought. Did he bust out the cult "John Wall dance" which gave him so much popularity during his college days, while in the club? Did he do so with New York colors on his back?
Answers on a postcard, please.

By Christian Jennings - bio | email CAMILLA, GA (WALB) - Young farmers and 4-H'ers got a hands-on lesson in irrigation and water use today in the field.
The 4-H-2-O summer camp started today at the Camilla Stripling Irrigation Research Park.
Kids in 4-H clubs learned all about water conservation, irrigation systems, wells, GPS systems in the fields, and much more.
They even got to play in the water under the hot sun.
The goal was to make learning fun and educate kids early about the importance of water and water conservation Especially here in south georgia.
"In Georgia, our crops are always one or two days from the next drought period. If we don't get rain, it's critical that we have irrigation water available because our soils just don't hold a lot of water," said Calvin Perry with Stripling Irrigation Research Park.
Six educational stations were set up.
About 60-youngsters participated. Wednesday the camp continues in Albany at the Flint Riverquarium.
Much of the funding for the event came from the Stripling Family.

Traffic is now flowing on northeast Loop 323 after a train accident Wednesday afternoon. A man on a forklift was operating the machinery near the railroad tracks on Loop 323 near Highway 271 when the forks on the equipment became stuck underneath the tracks. The operator attempted to move the forklift but the machine would not budge. A train began traveling southbound on the tracks towards the forklift shortly after it became stuck. The machine's operator attempted to alert the train's conductor, but the mile long train was unable to stop. The operator managed to jump from the forklift before the locomotive made impact. The train struck the forklift and derailed. No injuries were reported. Copyright 2013 KLTV. All rights reserved.

The man convicted in the killings of two Springfield police officers in 1985 has been granted parole.
Juan Ortiz has spent the last 27 years in prison after being convicted of second-degree murder. Now, those who knew the officers who died are reacting to the decision.
"It's tough to put into words but whether they kept him in jail, let him out of jail, the fact remains the same that Alain Beauregard and Michael Schiavina are still missing," said Springfield Police Sgt. John Delaney.
Delaney was one of the first to respond when the officers were shot.
"They were friends of mine and it's been a great loss since then," said Delaney.
Back in 1985, the two officers were murdered during a routine traffic stop. Eduardo Ortiz fired the shots that killed the officers and then later turned the gun on himself. His brother Juan Ortiz, who was in the car at the time of the shootings, was convicted for the murders.
The state's parole board ruled 4-2 to grant Juan Ortiz parole. The decision comes four months after he admitted responsibility for the deaths of the officers to the board.
Juan Ortiz was eligible for parole back in 2000 and was denied three previous times.
Congressman Richard Neal was mayor of Springfield when the murders occurred.
"It was the worst moment I had as mayor," said Neal.
He didn't have any comment on the parole but did say he'll never forget the moments he learned both officers had died.
And all these years later, Delaney still wears a pin with the badge numbers of Beauregard and Schiavina and remembers the great men they were.
"They were really good police officers, they were dedicated to their job," said Delaney. "Alain Beauregard broke me in on the job. He taught me how to be a police officer. Michael Schiavina was a friend of mine - was a police cadet with me."
Juan Ortiz will spend the next 18 months in a lower security facility to help him begin his transition to being released.
Once released, he is to have no contact with either of the officer's families and he's not allowed to live or work in Hampden County.
Juan Ortiz has been given permission to move to Chicago where he has family.

CCPO Seminar by VIMS Scientist to Explore Trace Metal Cycling
Aaron Beck, a scientist with the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, will present a public seminar at Old Dominion University's Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography (CCPO) on Monday, Sept. 13, exploring trace metal cycling in freshwaters and coastal marine waters.
The seminar, titled "Phototrophic Biofilms and Diel Trace Metal Cycles in Aquatic Environments," will begin at 3:30 p.m. in Room 3200 of the Research Innovation Building 1 in University Village. This program is free, as is a reception with refreshments that begins at 3.
Concentrations of trace metals, which sometimes are toxic, can vary during a 24-hour period at a particular testing site in a particular body of water. For example, many contaminated streams undergo variations caused by daily changes in temperature, sunlight, and other factors.
Beck's research has considered the connection between trace metal cycling and the films of light-dependent microorganisms - such as algae - that can form on the bottom of shallow waters. The metabolic activity of these microorganisms can affect the amount of dissolved oxygen in the waters, as well as the pH. The oxygen and pH, in turn, can affect the availability of trace metals, he has found.
Seawater had been assumed to have a pH-buffering capacity that would thwart this mechanism. But recent findings by Beck and his colleagues show that a mechanism similar to that found in freshwater streams may be at work in coastal marine waters. He has concluded that trace metal cycling in many aquatic systems may therefore be more temporally-dynamic than currently thought, and diel biogeochemical processes should be considered more universally in mass balance models for dissolved trace metals.
This seminar kicks off the fall 2010 CCPO Seminar Series. More about the series can be found at http://www.ccpo.odu.edu/seminars_fall2010.html.

Oxford High School is home to many sports and extracurricular activities- and not all of them are athletic. This February, students at Oxford High School will be participating in the annual Poetry Out Loud recitation contest.
The competition, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation, was created to encourage young adults to learn about and develop an interest in poetry. The competition runs on a tiered structure, with students competing first with their English classes, and then moving on to the school-wide competition (held this year on Feb. 7 at the high school). The first-place winner from the school competition gets to move on to the state level contest on March 12 at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven. Ultimately, students from each state will compete with one another at Washington D.C in the National Finals. An award of $20,000 is given to the national champion.
Monetary rewards aside, however, the competition provides a valuable source of experience to high school students. Students who participate in the event learn to memorize their poems and develop an understanding of the piece. In the competition, they will be judged on their physical presence, clarity of speech, dramatization, understanding of the piece, and overall performance- skills which are widely applicable even outside the sphere of poetry.
The Poetry Out Loud competition has been growing since it first began in 2005. The event now includes hundreds of thousands of students from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S Virgin Islands, and Poetry Rico. This rise in participation may be due to the wonderful experience it presents to students. Martha Riedel, an English teacher at Oxford High School, says "Reciting poetry is a little about speaking and a little about performing: Mostly, it's about letting the world know what's 'important to you."
The above news release was submitted by Oxford High School student Samantha Ramsay, who is organizing the contest as part of her Senior Capstone Project.

Diff. Geometry Question
View Single Post
Sep29-08, 11:43 PM
Hi Sal,
This is fair enough. Just wanted to thank you for the great (and informative!) reply.
You note that there aren't many jobs in theoretical physics - part of the reason why I'd want to do a computer science degree also (a combined degree with science [maths/physics] if that is what I end up doing!).
So by the gist of it, analysis is essentially a course of proofs? Are proofs tedious or enjoyable (no, I admit, the only sort of "proofs" I have seen or dealt with is, say, the derivation of the quadratic formula)?
You say - don't bet the (psychological) farm on getting a double degree. What do you mean by this? What is a psychological farm???
I think, where you say I am getting too far ahead of myself, I think there is reason. I always like to know about, I suppose, the end goal (and the journey itself) because if I think I'm not going to enjoy it (or possibly hate it), then I'm not likely going to pursue that subject, if I can avoid it! That's my reasoning anyway.
I'll look into solid state physics, as I said earlier, but perhaps I had better wrap up here before I start rambling on!

text: Churches and religious groups in Nebraska would lose their property-tax exemptions under a bill introduced by state Sen. Ernie Chambers. Chambers presented the Legislature's Revenue Committee Friday with a measure that would require religious organizations to pay property taxes. State law exempts properties owned by educational, charitable, religious or cemetery organizations. Chambers says everyone should pay their fair share, and argued that religious organizations don't fulfill the same purpose of educational and charitable groups. Jim Cunningham, executive director of the Nebraska Catholic Conference, says churches perform charitable work that benefits the community. Lawmakers took no immediate action on the bill.

The reopening of West 7th Street Bridge is great news for commuters and businesses.
Construction began in June and the project was scheduled to be completed in November.
The days of taking back roads and detours to get from downtown Fort Worth to the cultural district are over.
"There has always been connectivity between the near West side and downtown. We have expanded that capacity now," said Joel Burns with Fort Worth City Council.
The new $25 million bridge has been busy with traffic since it reopened at 5:05 p.m. Wednesday.
The Texas Department of Transportation widened it, created pedestrian walkways and constructed it to handle light rail in the future.
The series of sculpted network arches are state of the art. "This is the world's first pre cast bridge. We're very proud of it and what the design allowed us to do is to work heavily off site before we had to close the bridge," said TxDOT's Val Lopez.
Without the pre-cast arch construction, the project would have taken a year to finish. The cost of the bridge is also a lot cheaper because of the revolutionary design.
Sundt Construction Company out of San Antonio will get a $1 million dollar bonus for finishing ahead of schedule.
That's a relief to popular Mexican restaurant Chuy's located on West 7th St.
Business was challenging during the nearly four months of construction but employees found a way to have fun at work. "We were looking at ways to kinda make fun at the whole thing you know? I've got my hosts wearing construction vests and we had construction tape up and we figured if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em," said Chuy's General Manager Scot Brakeley.
There are a few finishing touches that still need to be done to the bridge. Sidewalks along the sides of the bridge will eventually allow people to walk and bike. Decorative lighting will also be implemented on the underside of the bridge.
TxDOT will have a ceremony in November when it's complete.

Tower Maintenance: the Best Investment You Can Make
While a qualified professional should perform maintenance, you can learn a lot about the condition of your tower by simple visual inspection (which is recommended to be performed every year for guyed and every three years for self-supporting structures). In my opinion you should perform a visual assessment every time you visit the site, especially in remotes areas that might be subject to attracting the attention of fun-loving locals.
I make it a habit to look at the tower from a short distance to see if everything looks in alignment. Of course the eye won't catch small variations, but once I noticed some sections of the tower looked a little crooked, which turned out to be a guy anchor that apparently was hit by a vehicle. I also recently had an experience with a guyed tower at a not-so-remote location, that happened to be owned by a city, stood next to its E911 call center and was used as a primary microwave link to its other radio sites. Someone unscrewed the turnbuckle on one side and released a level of guy wires. Fortunately it was noticed and addressed before the tower collapsed. You should also take note of the condition of the paint and/or the operation of the lighting system.
Check every visit
When I arrive at a site I usually check to see if the fence has been breached. It is very common to see openings in the fence, which usually means there is going to be -- at the very least -- some copper, transmission lines or AC compressor missing; but, it's also not unusual to find the doors open. While this isn't directly addressed in maintenance requirements, a broken ground ring will create problems (and potential safety issues) and should be repaired ASAP. You can also easily check the anchors and foundations for unusual cracking, connections to the guy wires, and rust or corrosion.
For a self-supporting tower, items that seem to get overlooked are the bolts that connect the foundation to the tower legs. These are typically bolted above and below the plate, to allow for some minor adjustments to level the tower base. Normally once the tower is built, they pack the lower bolts with concrete (between the base plate and foundation) to protect them from moisture or water pooling. I have seen many self-supporting towers with these exposed and rusting.
None of this should take the place of a proper full inspection of the tower, which includes:
■ Climbing the structure and noting (and hopefully correcting) loose bolts, documenting bent members, rust, improperly attached line and antennas, electrical connections to tower lighting, missing grounds, improperly functioning safety items or anything else unusual. They should take lots of pictures to document the problems that should be included with a comprehensive report.
■ They should use a transit to determine the vertical alignment of the tower shaft and guy wires
■ The tension of the guy wires should be measured and corrected if needed, every three years.
■ The lighting system and tower paint should be inspected annually per FAA Circular AC-70/7460-1K.
■ The integrity of a ground system should be inspected and conductivity tests performed annually. You can learn a lot about the performance and deterioration of a ground system by noting the measurements each year. Try to perform them around the same time of year. A poorly functioning ground system can cause deterioration of metals through possible galvanic or electrolytic corrosion.
A properly maintained tower can stand for more than 50 years -- that's the best return on investment you can have.

How can one explain the enigma that is BJ Upton? Fans drool over his potential, but loathe the results he's had this year. He's not the best player on the Rays, not the worse either, yet mentioning his name arguably creates the biggest controversy. I am not here to call BJ lazy. Just to state facts since I know you all love stats. I think we can all agree BJ is a very good to great defensive player, so this analysis is only based on offense.
- A WPA (win probability) of -1.16- ranks 147 out of 169 qualified players
- A K% (strikeout percentage) of 27.1- rank 154
- A wOBA (weighted on base average) of .331- rank 102
- A wRC (runs created) of 41.0- rank 113
- A wRAA (runs above average) of 1.8- rank 103
- A ISO (isolated power) of .163- rank 83
- A LD% (line drive percent) of 15.8- rank 150
- A SwStr% (swinging strikes) of 12.6- rank 160
- A Z-Contact% (contact percent in the strike zone) of 79.2- rank 165
- A BB% (walk percent) of 11.3- rank 48
- A Spd (speed rating) of 8.0- rank 3
- A O-Swing% (swings outside the strikezone) of 24.3- rank 39
- A WAR (wins above replacement) of 1.4- rank 92
The couple things he does well (i.e walk, steal bases, and not swing at balls) doesnt make up the difference for all the holes in his offense. I get annoyed by people saying BJ is an above average hitter. He's a below average hitter no matter what stats you're using (saber or traditional). I am not a BJ hater. I want him to reach his potential as much as anyone else. I'm just stating facts.

Watch Lightning Set a Moving Truck on Fire
Here's a frightening reminder that Mother Nature can be quite vicious.
Here's a frightening reminder that Mother Nature can be quite vicious.
What's that expression about lightning striking twice?
With a major thunderstorm rolling through the Northland today, I wanted to make sure I had a good understanding of lightning safety. You hear a lot of different tips about lightning. Some of them are good, some of them aren't. Here are some good facts that you can trust because they come straight from the National Weather Service.
For someone who was at the wrong place at the wrong time, a Florida woman sure found herself at the right place at the right time.
The unidentified woman was struck by lightning while attending a wilderness survival class Wednesday in Charlemont, Massachusetts.
Last weekend, an Emirates Airbus 380 was struck by a jagged bolt of lightning as it began its descent into London's Heathrow Airport. Luckily, none of the passengers aboard were harmed, and the plane made it safely to the ground.
Believe it or not, airplanes generally sustain a couple of lightning strikes per year, and are designed so that their bodies act as a conductor, allowing the lightning to pass through without causing any damage.
What made this particular lightning strike different was that it was caught on video. Read on to see this latest jolt from Mother Nature plus other crazy lighting attacks from the past.
There was a major thunderstorm that raged through New York City on Tuesday night. The rain came pouring down and the thunder slammed loudly throughout the night.
A lot of dogs were hiding under beds, children were scared, and adults were pretending not to be. The storm was so crazy that New York's most famous landmark, The Empire State Building, was struck by lightning at least three times -- and even cooler than that, it was caught on video!
Watch it happen, along with nine more lightning-strike videos of famous buildings after the jump.

Taking the measure of marketing
17 Feb 2010
How marketing assets contribute to shareholder value and the importance of measuring marketing performance were among the topics presented by leading Australian marketing strategist, Tim Heberden at a reception held at the University of Sydney this week.
As Managing Director of a leading global brand valuation consultancy, Brand Finance, and a renowned expert in quantifying and leveraging the value of intangible assets, Tim led a lively panel discussion about why it's a good time to be a strategic marketer.
Joining Tim on the panel was Kathy Hatzis, Head of Mulit-Brand Strategy & Architecture at The Westpac; Erica Galea, PR Comms Manager at Dyson and the faculty's own Professor Donnel Briley from the Discipline of Marketing.
The marketing reception was held to congratulate the inaugural graduands of the Faculty's first Master of Marketing program and welcome the enthusiastic 2010 cohort. A prominent group of industry partners were also in attendance at the event.
Director of the Master of Marketing Program, Associate Professor Pennie Frow, said the night was a wonderful opportunity for students to hear the latest industry developments and interact with industry leaders and their own peers.
"We feel introducing masters students to industry professionals from day one gives them an immediate opportunity to stand out from the crowd," said Pennie. "The program is deliberately quite challenging, but we don't want students to feel that they are on their own. For this reason we have attempted to create a nurturing educational environment with lots of access to people that can offer practical help."

The Pursuit of Happiness
Local researchers are on the hunt for the scientific underpinnings of human joy. Our writer enters a world where the formula for unending bliss may be just a click away.
The study of happiness certainly seems to be a contagion of its own, infecting scholars all around town. "Boston seems to be ground zero for most of this," Pentland says. But what's so special about our city? Why is the revolution happening here? There are the engineering centers, of course, and also the medical and public health institutions, the social scientists, the Kennedy School, the business schools. "All these organizations look like they're separate," Pentland says, "but really what they're [concerned with] is maintaining and fixing the human machine. There's no place else on Earth that has the combination of those resources in one spot." Talking at his double-espresso clip, he waves his hands in the air as if tracing the outlines of a new empire built on numbers. I leave with a contact high, and as I ride the elevator to the ground floor, I'm convinced that these guys are going to unlock the mysteries of human emotion.
Then Sissela Bok's book arrives in the mail like a cold splash of water. Bok is a philosopher (and the wife of former Harvard president Derek Bok, who has also published a book on happiness this year). Her new book offers a Western Civ 101 tour of the "good life," from the ancient Greeks to modern-day geeks. And without ever going on the attack, she slaps down the quants by pointing out that we have been here before. In Exploring Happiness, she writes about the feverish numbering urge of the 18th century, when scholars were after ways for society to measure and then deliver the most happiness to the greatest number of people.
Viewed through the backward binoculars of history, this lust for the quantification of happiness appears to be, well, a tad silly. Consider Jeremy Bentham. The English reformer labored for years to devise a "felicific calculus" that wound up laden with variables, exceptions, and footnotes. His equation eventually became so complicated that he had to write a poem to help his readers remember it. Bentham, who must have felt he was so close he could touch it, died without ever nailing down an exact accounting method for happiness.
So are we, too, simply in the grip of numbering fever? Is all of our quant-ing just more Benthamian bumbling?
Maybe so. But I still can't wait to see the results of my own happiness report.
ONE SWELTERING JULY DAY, my brain feels sweaty and I'm desperate to cinch my hair up into a bun. While I'm rifling through my desk for a rubber band, a message from Track Your Happiness pops up on my laptop: It's time, once again, to rate my mood. I close my eyes for a few seconds, taking stock. Am I miserable? Ecstatic? The fact is, I'm experiencing a marble cake of feelings all at once — irritation, bemusement, drowsiness.
So I click on over to the feedback section of Killingsworth's website, curious whether anyone else has had the same problem. They have. Someone has suggested an "I don't know" option for those moments when it's impossible to rate your happiness.

Loft Guidelines for Residence Halls
To insure that lofts are safe and in compliance with safety and fire codes, the following regulations must be followed:
- Your loft should be constructed from non-pressure treated wood (pressure treated or chemically treated wood is designed for outdoor use only and can create serious health hazards in an enclosed environment).
- Loft must be free standing and self-supported, which means they may not be attached to wall, floor or ceiling or supported by any College furniture.
- The sleeping surface (top of the mattress) can be no higher than 6 feet in height.
- Lofts should be no more than 40 inches wide and 84 inches long (please note that the College provided mattress is 36"x80").
- Lofts may not obstruct the functioning of windows or interfere with access to any part of the room for routine maintenance.
- Lofts may not be used in conjunction with the College provided bed frame. Students are responsible for storage of the College bed frame, which may be stored in residence hall storage rooms, if space is available.
- Lofts should have means of safe access (i.e. ladder).
- Electrical wiring, fixtures or appliances may not be attached or incorporated into the sleeping surface.
- Occupants of rooms where a loft is located agree to hold the College harmless and acknowledge that the College is not responsible for any accident, injury or damage to the occupants of the room, guest or personal property as a result of construction, design, installation or presence of the loft.
It is strongly suggested that before building/designing your loft, that you see your room. For this reason, it is better to try out the College provided furniture first and then decide if you want a loft. If you build your loft ahead of time, please be prepared to make adjustments to the loft upon your arrival to campus.

IRVINE, Scotland?? ????? Europe opened a 2.5-1.5 lead at the Palmer Cup presented by Monster after the morning four-ball session at Glasgow Golf Club Gailes Links. The second round singles matches teed off at 1:30 p.m.
?????? ???I???m very pleased with our morning round,??? said European Captain M??rten Olander. ???I thought we got off to a good start and felt we had control over three matches early. If not for some very good short game play by the Americans we might have had a larger lead. I applaud them for a strong finish and am pleased with how we played.???
?????? Europe opened the round with a 1-up victory by the Swedish pairing of Jonas Blixt and Jonas Enander Hedin. The Swedes won the first hole and extended their lead to three after 13 holes. However, birdies by Chesson Hadley on 14 and Adam Mitchell on 17 shrunk the lead to a single hole before Enander Hedin drained a 35-foot putt to secure the match.
?????? The Europeans extended their lead to two matches after Jorge Campillo???s and Tim Sluiter???s 4 and 2 win against Rickie Fowler and Billy Horschel. Counting birdie on Nos. 1, 5 and 6, the Euros built a four-hole margin after six holes. The Americans would record birdies of their own on 13 and 14 to cut the lead to two before Sluiter birdied the next two holes to close out the match.
?????? Gareth Shaw and Jonathan Caldwell would build another early lead for Europe in their match against Kevin Chappell and Aaron Goldberg, winning the first four holes and extending their lead to five after seven. Goldberg would birdie the next hole to whittle the lead back to four before the Americans won holes 12-14 with birdies by Chappell at 13 and Goldberg at 14. A Shaw birdie on No. 16 moved the match to dormie before Chappell birdied the final two holes - including chipping in from the bunker on No. 18 - to halve the match.
?????? The U.S. would win the final match of the morning with a 2 and 1 triumph by Michael Thompson and Derek Fathauer over Scott Borrowman and Charles Ford. The Americans never trailed, but did not win a hole until the sixth and never leading by more than one until the 15th.??????

A KOTA Territory High School Program receives praise from its students in more than one language.
Scottsbluff High School teamed up with the University of Nebraska Lincoln's Confucius Institute, to start a Chinese language program.
The school has renewed the program for three more years, after receiving an overwhelming response from students.
Leah Wright, a Junior in the program, was granted the opportunity to visit china to strengthen her language skills.
Wright says the Chinese program has been enriching.
"It was amazing, it was this Summer for 16 days and I really got to learn more that I wouldn't have known about China."
Wright says she hopes the schools continue the program so other students can have the same experience.

Plenty of Audra! 2012 Tony Winner Audra McDonald Plays Eight-Show Week in Porgy and Bess Starting Aug. 28
By Kenneth Jones
Audra McDonald will return to an eight-performance schedule in The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess beginning Aug. 28, producers of the Tony Award-winning Best Revival announced.
The five-time Tony Award winner, who snagged the 2012 Best Actress Musical Tony for playing troubled Bess, had previously been on a schedule of seven performances per week, not performing the Wednesday evening shows.
As previously announced, the revival will conclude its limited engagement at the Richard Rodgers Theatre (226 West 46th Street) on Sept. 23.
Tickets are on sale at Ticketmaster.com or by calling (877) 250-2929.
Porgy and Bess stars Tony nominee Norm Lewis (Les Misérables, Sondheim on Sondheim) as Porgy and three-time Tony nominee David Alan Grier (Race, "In Living Color") as Sporting Life. The cast also includes Tony nominee Phillip Boykin as Crown, Nikki Renée Daniels as Clara, Joshua Henry as Jake, Christopher Innvar as Detective, Bryonha Marie Parham as Serena and NaTasha Yvette Williams as Mariah, as well as Sumayya Ali, Allison Blackwell, Roosevelt André Credit, Trevon Davis, Joseph Dellger, Wilkie Ferguson III, Carmen Ruby Floyd, Gavin Gregory, Heather Hill, David Hughey, Andrea Jones-Sojola, Alicia Hall Moran, Cedric Neal, Phumzile Sojola, Nathaniel Stampley, Julius Thomas III, J.D. Webster and Lisa Nicole Wilkerson.
The creative team includes Diane Paulus (Hair), Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks (Topdog/Underdog), and two-time Obie Award-winning composer Diedre L. Murray (Running Man). They reinvent the onetime "folk opera" from 1935 as a musical that still captures the heart, soul, music and juicy story first created by DuBose Heyward, Dorothy Heyward, George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin.

MILWAUKEE — A 19-year-old man, Alex Haskins, died after he attempted to latch onto an open school bus window, lost his grip and was run over, the Journal Sentinel reports.
A juvenile aboard the bus got involved in an altercation with other passengers and called his family to help him. Haskins and other family members arrived; at some point he grabbed onto the window as the bus was pulling away.
Police said that it does not appear that the bus driver knew what was going on, and no citations are expected to be issued.

The last time Owen Taylor shot a 67 in competition at Haggin Oaks, all he needed the next day was a 76 or better to qualify for the U.S. Amateur Public Links.
He shot a 77. That was in June.
Taylor was devastated but not defeated. He dedicated himself earlier in the summer to working harder, playing smarter and getting more out of his natural golf ability. He wasn't going to let that disappointment deter him.
"I learned more that day than I have all summer," Taylor said. "That's when it was putting one shot at a time to the test, and I didn't do that. I didn't stick to my routine."
Taylor birdied the 18th hole late Sunday afternoon to post a 5-under-par 67 at Haggin's MacKenzie course and earn a share of the 36-hole lead in the California State Fair Men's Championship with Brandon Hagy (68) and Maverick McNealy (67). The trio is at 9-under 135.
Taylor, a Sacramento State junior, was third on the Hornets in scoring average last season. If he's going to take home the State Fair trophy today, he's going to have shoot much lower than 76 to top Hagy, the defending State Fair champion from powerhouse Cal, McNealy, a highly regarded Stanford freshman, and a group of pursuers one shot behind made up of Cal's Joel Stalter (67), Sacramento teenager Cameron Champ (68), Connecticut amateur champion Cody Paladino (70) and San Rafael left-hander Alex Franklin (66).
Taylor, who came to Sac State from San Juan Capistrano, took the first step toward title contention early this summer when he started practicing and playing from dawn to dusk at Cameron Park, which gave him a player-development membership.
The impetus to the change in habits?
"I just got sick of shooting 75s, to be honest," he said. "I have more talent than that."
If Hagy is disappointed in not making the U.S. Walker Cup team he was the first alternate on the 10-man team that includes three Cal players that competes this weekend against a team from Great Britain and Ireland in Southampton, N.Y., he didn't show it.
The Cal senior from Westlake Village has played Nos. 15-18 in 9 under over two rounds.
"I didn't play very well, but I can take some positives in the way I finished," he said.
Hagy went from an anchored putting stroke in January to a standard-length putter, not because of the impending ban on anchored strokes but because "I have a little better feel."
NcNealy, 17, will be the youngster in the final threesome. He said he's fine being called Mav or Maverick "My dad jokes that my mom had a crush on Tom Cruise," who played "Maverick" Mitchell in "Top Gun" but don't call him intimidated.
"This course sets up well for me," said NcNealy, who's from Portola Valley. "I just blast a lot of drivers. It's a second-shot golf course, where you have to manage your misses."
The final threesome will start at 9:24 a.m. The final groups will be followed by leaderboards.

Because the other one's up over 1000 comments.
It's your last sandwich before the apocalypse. Whatcha got?
White? Wheat? Rye? Toasted?
Muenster? Manchego? Provolone?
Mayo? Mustard?
Capocollo or prosciutto?
I want a fresh kaiser bun, lightly toasted, Helman's mayo, spicy mustard (a nice dusseldorf will do fine), romaine lettuce, roma tomato, Klaussen pickle, and thinly sliced purple onion. But that's pretty standard for all sandwiches for me. Give me some horseradish havarti, salumi, bacon, avacado and a pickled pepper. What the hell, add a fried runny egg. That'll work.

Patrolling the hallways of Foley Middle School is nothing new to Foley police officer Labron Williams. "They feel when they come into the classroom they don't have to worry about someone coming in to cause harm to them."
This year he'll have company. Three more officers assigned to Foley campuses according to police chief David Wilson. "The first priority of this program is to establish safety and security for all school children and school staff."
Foley has always had a school resource officer. The only problem they would have to rotate between the high school the elementary school, the middle school and the intermediate school. Now they will have one officer for each of the schools.
Foley leads the county in officers dedicated to school campuses. The breakdown for other schools:
Orange Beach has 1 officer at one school; Bay Minette - 1 officer assigned to three schools; Daphne - 2 officers at five schools; Gulf Shores - 2 officers at three schools; and Fairhope - 1 officer rotating between 4 schools.
Cities with no full time school resource officer include: Summerdale, Silverhill, Elberta, Robertsdale, Loxley and Spanish Fort.
"A number of our cities have school resource officers available, they are not making the effort to put one in each school as Foley has done," says superintendent Alan Lee. "But as things evolve and more groups figure out how to do what Foley has done I think we may see that move in the future."
Officer Williams says Foley schools are safer and more secure than ever before. "Just having that officer in that school makes a big deterrent for anybody that comes into our campus and just feels like they can come into a Foley school and do whatever they like. That's not going to happen."
While he wouldn't discuss details, superintendent Lee says Baldwin schools will be safer and more secure than ever before in the new school year. He says all schools have increased security measures.

I can remember back to my first year of teaching and learning how to do guided reading and reading the latest books about it as part of our professional development. I learn a little more every year how to be a little more guiding and a little less directing… and I've learned to learn from my students when I feel stuck.
For example, I wanted to introduce my little kinder-group to the book, Moving Day and to the fact that the words that they will have to figure out per page will have the same beginning sound, so they'll have to rely on a strategy other than getting your mouth ready… (I use these posters I created for prompting)

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW)-- Faculty at the UW-La Crosse presented research projects Friday, at the 18th annual Faculty Research Day.
The research day offers an opportunity to for faculty to share projects and findings before publication, and get feedback from colleagues.
Heidi Macpherson, the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, says research is an essential part of the education at the university.
"It's absolutely fundamental that our research underpins our teaching and learning activities," Macpherson said. "We are primarily a teaching institution and we're very, very proud of that, but what I like about the research that we do here, is that it definitely feeds in tot he curriculum. Students benefit from it. They are able to go to the labs and do real research as undergraduate researchers."
Though spring semester doesn't start until Monday, some students are on campus already, and many attended research presentations.

1. Poor Sleep HygieneThe most likely culprit contributing to your inability to sleep is simply poor sleep hygiene. This odd phrase refers to the behaviors, habits, and choices that might make it difficult for you to sleep. If you can't sleep, it might be due to your sleep environment, an irregular sleep schedule, or other things that are ruining your sleep. Fortunately, many of these issues can be addressed once they are recognized, with significant improvements in your ability to sleep.
2. InsomniaInsomnia is simply the inability to fall or stay asleep. It also describes sleep that is unrefreshing and of poor quality. It may occur over the short-term, often as the result of an identifiable stressor, and be called acute insomnia. It also may become a more chronic condition. Insomnia can lead to great distress, and in exceptional circumstances it may be fatal (such as in fatal familial insomnia). Fortunately, there are many treatment options available.
3. Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)For those who are afflicted with restless legs syndrome (RLS), the symptoms associated with it are easily identifiable. Most people with RLS describe an unpleasant sensation in their legs that occurs during the evening, often as they are falling asleep, and is relieved by movement. These movements may become extreme enough that you can't sleep. If associated with uncontrolled movements of the arms or legs, such as in periodic limb movement syndrome (PLMS), it might even make it difficult for your bed partner to sleep. There are many potential causes of RLS, and there are a few excellent treatment options.
4. Circadian Rhythm Disorders
It is quite possible that you can't sleep because your body desires to sleep at the wrong time. This is the case in those individuals with circadian rhythm disorders. The circadian rhythm refers to the natural pattern of the body's functions, including the drives for hunger and sleep. Most people desire to sleep overnight. However, if your circadian rhythm is shifted early (as in advanced sleep phase syndrome) or late (as in delayed sleep phase syndrome) your desire to sleep will likewise shift.
For those with delayed sleep phase syndrome, this may mean that you are a night owl and it will be difficult for you to fall asleep at an earlier time. You will likely lie in bed awake for hours at the start of the night, but then have difficulty getting up in the morning. This condition may be effectively treated with melatonin, a light box (phototherapy), or even behavioral therapy.

The strangest travel gadgets on the market today may have questionable practical value, but are sure to generate conversation and perhaps a few laughs.
For travelers that are frequently behind the wheel of a motor vehicle, or are trying to cover many miles without stopping for food, the travel bib may be the perfect invention. It hooks over the driver's shoulders, and he can eat comfortably while driving, knowing that any food that falls will end up in a waterproof pocket at the bottom of the bib.
Honeymooners who end up exploring a European capital during a rainy week need not despair: the Dualbrella is 6 feet wide and can comfortably and romantically accommodate two people.
A travel bidet is available for those who have become accustomed to this European fixture. It is battery operated and can be packed away to be only 6 inches long, making it highly portable for travel.
For rugged outdoorsmen, Wenger produces a giant knife that has 87 implements, weighs a full two pounds, and measures nearly 9 inches in width.
Travelers on a tight budget that are checking into a questionable hostel may want to invest in Rest Easy bedbug spray, a natural pesticide that promises to kill bedbugs and other nighttime crawlers.
