Comment: Re:Ghost in the machine (Score 1) 128
Hydraulic isn't much different. A blocked port in the rack and pinion can send the wheel spinning wildly in one direction. Happened to my brother's old Volvo. The wheel would damn-near tear your arm off and try to send you into oncoming traffic. There are a lot of ways to build in saftey. I was impressed with recent brake-pedal light switches. My oldest car was one wire that completed a ground loop. If the switch failed you'd never know. My next car it was two wires. My newest car is three wires, and the plunger switch always opens one circuit and closes the other. With three wires the computer can sense a defective switch if the switch is ever in an open/open or closed/closed situation. In fact the computer logic allows *some* brief amounts of this situation simply to account for inaccuracies in the switch itself. So, things do get better.

- "Ugh fruit has so much sugar omg it will totes make me fat." NO. Fruit is very high in water and has little to no fat (with the rare exception of things like avocado… which is God's gift to man so we should eat that anyway). The sugar it contains is natural sugars which are good for you.
- Speaking of sugar, it has way less than things with added sugar. 1 whole cup of strawberries has about 7 grams, while 1 can of soda has about 30 grams on average. I'll take my strawberries with some lemon squeezed on that because there simply isn't enough fruit for me in just the strawberries.
- Have you ever tasted pineapple? Yeah. That shit is delicious.
- Fruit smoothie? You mean the healthy delicious treat that is the perfect amount of smooth and cold and is just the icing on the cake of a hot summer day? Yes. Please direct me to the nearest Jamba Juice.
- Oh, so many pretty colors. I think even dogs can see that beautiful piercing pink of dragon fruit.
- Antioxidants. All the antioxidants.
- Weird is good. There are weird fruits. See this list for proof.
- There is lots of dietary fiber in fruit. Who doesn't like pooping regularly AMIRIGHT?
- There is no cholesterol, extremely low sodium, and low calories.
- It all just tastes fucking delicious and if we are so paranoid that something as healthy as fruit is making us fat I am probably just going to leave society and live in the wilderness amongst the fruits. I will live with the fruit and I will eat it and be happy because it's good and lets all just have a great day and eat some rambutans god bless.

Coachella has officially begun!
The music festival kicked off Friday in Palm Desert, and Katy Perry was just one stylish celeb who made the scene.
The singer hit Harper's Bazaar poolside party, sporting a floral dress and a wide hat. She was hanging with Mia Moretti, her BFF who's a deejay.
Katy's definitely a Coachella regular. Last year, a freshly single Katy was spotted at the concert holding hands with Rob Ackroyd from Florence + the Machine and hanging with Rihanna, who was a surprise performer.
Jessica Lowndes and Bella Thorne hit the Hard Rock Music Lounge yesterday, where there was an actual camel in attendance, and Twilight hottie Kellan Lutz caught the concerts wearing a tank top to show off his buff body.
Today, we're excited for the H&M <3's Music party, where Santigold performs and Sophia Bush and Joshua Jackson are expected.
Check back all weekend for celeb scoop straight from the desert!

Weird and Wonderful
Weird and Wonderful is Doctor Who TV's look at some of the other Doctor Who bits and bobs around the web that caught our attention over the last week or so.
Awesome Art
Peter Capaldi by Ladunya
"Who Done It?" by Patrickballesteros
Doctor Who meets Adventure Time by Alex Dempsey
Weeping Angel Barbie Dolls
More here if you dare.
American Doctor Who
"Scottish Colloquialisms" with Karen Gillan
"Fade" Fan Tribute
'In The Weeks Ahead' (Series 2) Fan Trailer
Dalek Car Races for Charity
Who Tunes
Fan imagined 12th Doctor theme:
And lastly… That scene you tried to forget

I actually enjoyed Fear Her when it came out, and I don't think it is THAT bad as an episode. it is beyond ridiculous but in the grand scheme of things, it's not terrible.
The 'Fade' fan tribute is absolutely brilliant! Very professional.
Gillian using expressions typical of her native Scotchland is hilarious. lol
That "Fade" video is one of the best tributes I've seen. Makes me realise how brilliant Matt Smith's been.
the art looks very nice
DWTV!!! Don't you know what ever contains the image of angels becomes an angel!? You have killed us all.
I keep thinking Michael Emerson would be a nice aged version of the Tenth Doctor. Must be Finch's suits. And the hair.
Ha! Donna's little pout in the adventure time one. Hilarious.
Am I the only one who thinks the 12 Doctor theme sounds a bit like Let It Go from Frozen?
The Twelfth Doctor theme is wonderful, so melancholic!
I rather like that Twelfth Doctor's theme, I could imagine it very easily at the end of the first episode, just as Clara accepts him. Especially when the part at 0:45 kicks in (I imagine the Doctor taking Clara's hand as they look up into the sky, with a slow camera pan out of the earth, zooming out into the solar system and eventually the universe.) Then title squeal. I just love how gentle the track is, it contrasts and complements Capaldi well.
Hey, I've just recently started making fan made teasers and trailers. Can anyone help and give me feedback? youtu(dot)be/6u8O6E1OnLw
I loved Fear Her!
Plus that Capaldi art is STUNNING.
That American Doctor Who video was just glorious!
Burgess Meredith as the first Doctor? YES!
Fade was just.. Wow. I mean... WOW.
"Fade" Fan Tribute has made bloody emotional. Superb work to who created it.
God, I could really do with that Dalek car since I'm not an agressive driver and others sometimes take advantage of that. I'd like to use that Exterminate horn to make people stay on the side-walk instead of walking along the road or generally instead of using the horn to manifest my anger.
Besides, if I saw a car like that behind me, I'd get out of the way as quick as I can
"Yer bum's out the windy." Yup, that's becoming a part of my vernacular now. I'm, like, a sixteenth Scottish so that makes it okay. :p
American Doctor Who: it would be a very different show from the British version we all know and love, but if this fake trailer is anything to go by, it has potential. The only choice of Doctor that I found questionable was Nic Cage.
The Fan Made Twelfth Doctor theme was lovely, though I'm hoping that the theme that they went with during Capaldi's introduction in Time of the Doctor is used during the show. I would love for that to become his "I Am the Doctor".
Karen throwing the wig always takes me by surprise.
Speaking nonsense makes Karen even sexier... Or just standing there, it's enough actually.
That American Doctors list is just perfect. Christopher Walken, Cranston, Donald Glover, Gene Wilder, JEFF GOLDBLUM...perfection. Thank you whoever made this!
Don't know why, but I can feel a hint of 'Let it Go' when the piano plays in the 12th Doctor's theme
I'll never get over the idea that Vincent Price would make a plausible American Jon Pertwee. It's completely ridiculous, if a tiny bit amazing.
I actually really enjoy Fear Her, but I guess I'm in the minority...
Tried to forget? I HAD forgotten it, until you went and reminded me... thanks :(
Now we finally know the origins of the Weeping Angels!
The Barbies- a distant relation of the autons were a sinister yet vacuous race in which it was compulsory to conform. Then one day an ancient weapon left over from the Time War landed on their planet... the glue gun! The Barbies were never the same again...
The Barbie to Weeping Angel thing was awesome, but to some steps of the transformation, the joke: I switched to porn.. could be applied perfectly!
Doctor Who and Adventure Time... Aaaaaaw! *-* Look at Donna and Rory! XD And, my god, Clara is always super cute, even when she's a cartoon.
Christopher Walken, Harrison Ford: Hell Yeah! Jeff Goldblum, Nicholas Cage: I have my doubts...
That "Fear Her" video. Scraping the bottom of the barrel, are we, DWTV?
@Seaborn W Deadman No, I thought the exact same thing when I heard it too.
@Hibernus It sounds quite similar to the work of Einaudi in style, especially the opening.
@supermoff It is good, yes, but it also looks somewhat like Eccleston IMHO.
@Moxx Actually, I'm all about Gene Wilder as Tom Baker.
All in all, that's really an awesome video.
@shyx111 I kinda want a Doctor who adventure time crossover now.
@DaftDalek Cage is a great actor, actually. He just picks some bad roles and acts badly.
But he can act really well. It's why he's won an Oscar. I think he'd be a good Nine if he put his heart in it.
I'm most against Nicholas Cage and Donald Glover. Cage is just a bad actor and Glover doesn't really have the dramatic range, that being said, he's wonderful at comedy.
Now I said Harrison Ford, it would be cool if the trailer had a scene or something from Blade Runner for a young War Doctor. Just a thought.
I don't know about Cranston either. That isn't a slight against his acting - he's brilliant, but I don't know if he could really manage the Doctor. I almost think that the Master would be more fitting for him.
@DaftDalek it would be unintentionally hilarious like the wicker man.
@The Finn The BBC just posted it on the official Doctor Who Youtube channel. Not just a random choice by DWTV. The channel is releasing clips from each episode in order of the show.
@The Finn hmm I assumed DWTV is a cruel god and loves to torture us with clips from mediocre episodes every now and then.
@Amy is Hannibal I think he would be a great Doctor.
@NumberNine @The Finn Ok. Still seems a little odd when the other bits in W&W are nothing like it.
@Notsosmartguy @The Finn I actually quite like FH.
@Notsosmartguy @The Finn Mediocre? It seems you are more forgiving than most fans!
@The Finn @Notsosmartguy it's not one of my particular favorites but it is not bad either.
@PaddyB @Notsosmartguy @The Finn almost makes up for the awful things I have to say about journey's end and the End of Time part 1 and 2.
It really not as bad as other episodes. I try to see Fear Her as an episode centered around a mother-daughter relationship and it's not that bad from that angle. Plus, I liked the Olympic year setting.

Military Get Free National Parks Admission [AUDIO]
US Postal Service to Stop Shipping Electronics to Troops Overseas
In an announcement made earlier this month, the US Postal Service told customers that as of May 16, they will no longer ship electronics like iPads, Kindles, smartphones and other devices containing lithium batteries overseas.
This means that people who want to ship electronics to troops serving abroad will have to pay a premium to go through private shipping services.

Should Women Be Allowed in Combat? — Survey of the Day
Last week, the Pentagon decided open up thousands of near-the-front-line military jobs to female military personnel who were previously restricted from such roles.
Women are still banned from combat, although this move to put them closer to harm's way has upset some, including Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, who said that when women are too close to the front line "emotions" could lead to "compromised situations." So what does the public think about the Pentagon's measure?

Grunting Ohio zoo workers act as moms to gorilla
Monday - 3/4/2013, 11:06am EST
Associated Press
CINCINNATI (AP) -- Some zoo workers in Cincinnati are going ape over a baby gorilla.
They are wearing all-black outfits, grunting affectionately, and generally imitating mother gorillas to help the month-old baby adjust to a new home and get ready for a surrogate mother. Later, they will don hairy vests and carry baby Gladys on their backs, put on kneepads and gloves to move around like a gorilla, and they might knuckle-walk and climb a tree with baby on board.
Even though some of Gladys' mamas have beards and moustaches, they are trying to give her a mother's love, as much like a gorilla as they are able. They cuddle her, let her hang on them or squirm in their laps, lie down next to her and talk to her with different guttural sounds.
"Whatever a gorilla mom would do with her baby is what we have to do with this baby," said Ron Evans, the zoo's primate team leader and one of Gladys' human surrogates. "Everything that we can do ... obviously, I'm not producing milk."
He's heading a team of seven to 10 people who work in shifts of eight hours or so to provide the baby with 24-hour companionship. She came from the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas, where she was born Jan. 29 to a first-time mother who showed little maternal instinct. Zoo employees Jerry and Cindy Stones -- the baby was named Gladys Stones on Friday -- bottle-fed and cared for her there.
The zoos agreed it was best to move her to Cincinnati, where two experienced mother gorillas are available to serve as surrogates. Over the years, 48 gorillas have been successfully born live at Cincinnati.
Evans said the Columbus Zoo in Ohio has been a global pioneer in taking gorilla babies in need of surrogates from other zoos, but this is a first for Cincinnati. Zoo employees want to be careful, and have a four- to five-month transition period to make sure first that the baby is healthy, then will be able to socialize and be accepted within its population of eight other gorillas.
"We don't want to move too fast with her, where we stress out the baby," Evans said. "It's going to be a gradual process."
A suite has been set up for Gladys and the human surrogates, within view, hearing and smell of the other gorillas. Evans said that so far, they have responded hospitably.
"Babies have a calming effect on a gorilla community," he said. "The two females were just fixated on that baby."
Gladys is gaining weight, big for her age at nearly 7 pounds, and alert and apparently curious, looking around a lot at her surroundings.
When working on her transition plan, Evans considered bringing in veteran neonatal nurses, but decided that familiarity with gorilla behavior was more important. As the baby progresses, volunteers who have worked with gorillas may be added to help.
Zoo spokeswoman Tiffany Barnes said the surrogate effort has drawn wide interest, with thousands of emails and social media responses already. There have been plenty of volunteers from the public to cuddle and bottle-feed the baby gorilla or otherwise help out.
"At this point, we aren't in need of volunteers, as we are using zoo staff members who have ape behavior knowledge and experience," she said. "That being said, if we ever needed volunteers, we know we don't have to look far."

Top 14 Moments at the National Archives in 2013
Wow–what a year! Our editorial panel tried to limit this list to ten, but eventually we gave up and picked 14 instead. (For more great National Archives moments, check on out the Top 10 Innovative Moments of 2013.)
We also want to send a big thank you to the staff members of the National Archives across the nation, who worked so hard to make these moments possible. And a huge thank you to our partners, sponsors, researchers, visitors, and social media followers who share in our love of history. We are grateful to be able to make your history accessible to you in so many ways in 2013!
40th Anniversary of the Fire in the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis
If you have served in the U.S. military, your file is part of the holdings in the National Archives in St. Louis. Each year, staff respond to one million requests for direct military benefits and entitlements from veterans and their next of kin. In the Research Room, staff pulled more than 41,000 military personnel records.
And Preservation Programs in St. Louis responded to more than 200 daily requests for burned Army and Air Force records. The fire that swept through the sixth floor of the National Personnel Records Center on July 12, 1973, damaged and destroyed millions of documents. Each … [ Read all ]

American Archives Month: Valoise Armstrong, Eisenhower Presidential Library
We continue with celebrating American Archives Month by showcasing some of our amazing archivists in the Presidential Libraries.
This post takes continues our journey through the heartlands of America: Abilene, KS.
Name: Valoise Armstrong
Occupation: Archivist at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum
How long have you worked at this library?
After working for five years at the National Archives at Seattle office, I transferred to the Eisenhower Library in July 2004.
How/why did you decide to go into the archival field?
I went to college many years after I graduated from high school and majored in my passion, which is history. I didn't have any desire to teach, but being an archivist was a way I could immerse myself in history every day, so it was a very easy choice to focus on Archival Management in graduate school.
What are some of your responsibilities at your library?
I am responsible for three main areas in our archival operations: I am in charge of manuscript preservation activities; I maintain our oral history collection; and I oversee all of my library's entries in the National Archives online description catalog. Among the duties shared by all the archivists at my library, I also answer reference questions, work with researchers in the research room, assist with … [ Read all ]

American Archives Month: Matthew Schaefer, Hoover Presidential Library
October is American Archives Month! Although we're partway through October, there's still time to celebrate the archivists from our Presidential Libraries. The series kicks off with a trip to the heartlands of America: West Branch, IA.
Name: Matthew Schaefer
Occupation: Outreach archivist for the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum
How long have you worked at this library?
Eleven years.
How/why did you decide to go into the archival field?
While working on my dissertation, I took a "temporary" job in archives to pay the bills. My plan was to keep the archives gig until I earned my degree, then join the professoriate. After 25 years and three institutions, I am ready to acknowledge that I am an archivist.
What are some of your responsibilities at your library? What do you like best about your job?
The thing that I like best about my job is the variety of tasks that fall to me. This meshes well with my short little span of attention. My duties at the Hoover include organizing conferences, working with professional organizations, and keeping the library in the public eye. I also manage the reference room, do collection management tasks, and serve as lookout for zombies.
Tell us about a time something unusual or unexpected happened to you in your line of work.… [ Read all ]

Putting together a Presidential Library is a really, really big job
In 1939, President Roosevelt donated his personal and Presidential papers to the Federal Government, marking the beginning of the modern Presidential Library system that is part of the National Archives. Seventy-four years later, the newest Presidential Library holds more documents than FDR could have imagined.
The George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum holds more than 70 million pages of textual records, 43,000 artifacts, 200 million emails (totaling roughly 1 billion pages), and 4 million digital photographs (the largest holding of electronic records of any of our libraries).
Collecting this material, cataloging and processing it, and making it available to the public was a task that began on January 20, 2009.
As a Presidential administration nears its end, the National Archives works with the White House and the Department of Defense (DOD) to begin organizing, boxing, and moving a huge amount of Presidential materials out of various locations in Washington, DC. All records and artifacts must be out of the White House by noon on Inauguration Day.
At the same time, the National Archives locates temporary storage in the area of the future Presidential library—in this case, Lewisville, Texas. Then the National Archives and the Department of Defense begin moving the records to the temporary library … [ Read all ]

White House Reunions: Presidential Library Dedications
Today's blog post comes from Susan Donius, Director of the Office of Presidential Libraries at the National Archives.
It's not often that several Presidents are together at one time, but on April 25, the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum will be dedicated to the American public. Although many dignitaries from around the world will attend, all eyes will likely focus on the gathering of men who have called the White House home. In addition to George W. Bush, guests of honor will include current Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama, and former Presidents William J. Clinton, George Bush, and Jimmy Carter.
The first Presidential Library and Museum was conceived and built under President Franklin D. Roosevelt's direction from 1939 to 1940 in Hyde Park, NY. The official FDR Library dedication was a small, quiet affair, with close friends and family attending the ceremony. Over the years, the ceremonies have grown larger, and dedications have become notable for the atmosphere of nonpartisan goodwill and respect among former Presidents.
The Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum was dedicated on July 6, 1957, in Independence, MO. During Truman's Presidency, Herbert Hoover offered his services to help with post–World War II humanitarian efforts. Despite being Presidents from opposing parties, the two forged a working relationship that eventually grew into a strong friendship. At … [ Read all ]

Canon sx30is - shooting sporting events
I purchased a Canon sx30is for my husband because he wanted the zoom capabilities to take pictures at our sons football and basketbal games. We are having great difficulty with getting the images to be clear when they are moving. Maybe we are just too green with knowing how to set the camera. We have tried the sports setting and only the people standing still will be clear. Moving people are completely unrecognizable. We have tried to change the shutter speed and nothing seems to change or fix the blurry pics. We are almost ready to give up on it and send it back. Any help out there for us?

Re: Canon sx30is - shooting sporting events
If the football games are played in the daytime the SX30 might work. The combination of very limited high ISO capability and the slow f/5.6 zoom lens on this camera will make football under lights or pretty much any indoor sport almost impossible to shoot well.
It's important to understand that indoor sports and night sports are among the most difficult (technically) photography subjects. I cannot think of any P&S cameras that will do well in this. Even dSLR cameras may struggle without faster lenses.

Re: Canon sx30is - shooting sporting events
Be sure the SHOOTING MENU is set for both
"Servo AF" - ON
"AF Mode" - CONTINUOUS
The camera should do well as far as exposure in daylight - as the previous poster said, at night the lens most likely will not be fast enough when zoomed (should be OK when not zoomed and wide open for close shots - f2.8).
Shooting indoors is not that difficult in a professional arena lit to be a huge TV studio. Shooting in most high school gyms may prove to be futile (all you can do is try).
Shooting outdoors should not be a problem in daylight. If your son plays football games during the day, the camera won't be the problem. The right settings will allow the camera to stay focused on a moving subject.
If the games are under lights, all that can be done (most likely) is take shots from the sidelines NOT zooming in much so the wider apertures stay available.
Human eyes will perceive 10 times as much light as being just twice as bright - Cameras will perceive 10 times as much light as being 10 times as bright. So while a high school gym or football field may appear to be well lit, that is your eyes and your brain compensating. Cameras will see (for example) light that is 4 times as bright as being just that - 4 times brighter - a huge difference for exposures. But your eyes are not likely to perceive a noticeable difference at all.
Don't give up - get closer to the action and use less zoom.
Wow, what a nice picture! You must have a really great camera!

text: ShareEmulating Dr. Seuss In Your Brand MarketingMar 26 2014, 03:00 AM by Hal Licino Retweet this or any post in Bland Brand, That Won't Stand! to win a Kindle Fire HD! Tweet Follow @BenchmarkEmail Dr. Seuss may just be the world's best known children's author, eclipsing even the giants of the genre such as Hans Christian Andersen, E.B. White, and Lewis Carroll. The entire empire built by Theodor Seuss Geisel under the Dr. Seuss moniker has virtually dominated its market niche for well over half a century, and continues to enchant children all over the world. The key factor of Dr. Seuss' stories which makes them so attractive to children of all ages is the utter appeal and accessibility of the tales themselves, and it is in that aspect that the great children's author has much to teach today's online marketers. The Cat In The Hat has only 236 different words Dr. Seuss was an absolute perfectionist and would often spend up to a year on a book. That factoid is absolutely staggering when we consider that many of his works are around a thousand words total, which is barely longer than this article. He spent so much time on each work since it was not uncommon for Dr. Seuss to toss out over 95% of his words until he settled on the final outline and direction of his book. One of Dr. Seuss' most popular stories is The Cat In The Hat. Although that simple little tale has enraptured generations of children and has been made into movies and television series, at the essence of the story itself is the fact that it contains just 236 different words. From that extremely short vocabulary, The Cat In The Hat has become a modern day classic which has reached across age groups to appeal to just about everyone. Dr. Seuss presaged quick, dense information consumption When you are confronted with the crafting process for your next brand campaign you might be well advised to keep the example of Dr. Seuss' immortal feline hero in mind. The simplicity and sparse elegance which Dr. Seuss utilized to create his magical characters and adventures is one which definitely deserves emulation in our online marketing. Although The Cat In The Hat was written at a time when personal computers and the internet were only the stuff of science fiction, Dr. Seuss was able to presage this era and the current proclivity for absorbing content in very short, quick bursts that are as dense with information as possible. The styles, skills, and insight of the poets That definition indeed seems to echo the one which is applicable to the great poets of human history, which have for millennia strived to condense as much information and emotion as possible into the fewest words that will suffice to communicate the message which the poet is attempting to portray. Therefore today's online brand marketer, in order to excel at the craft, needs to adopt the styles, skills, and insight which poets have harnessed since time immemorial, and which Dr. Seuss so masterfully embraced over fifty years ago. Emulate Dr. Seuss in crafting your brand message When you are confronted with the task of getting your brand message across to the prospective customer in a manner which is harmonious with their preferred manner of consuming information, you can certainly do no wrong in emulating Dr. Seuss. Think of all the amazing characters which Dr. Seuss created within those 236 different words: The Cat, the Fish, Thing 1 and Thing 2, and the whole panoply of memorable and now immortal individuals. And now carefully consider how you can create an aura message about your brand with just a handful of wisely chosen simple words. If you adhere to the best and latest research about online information consumption, you well know that you have no choice but to limit your vocabulary and your word length to the absolute minimum. That is where the Dr. Seuss example can come into play to the greatest extent. Think long and hard about how you can simplify each and every sentence without losing any of the important and driving brand message that you are conveying. When you can master that critical skill then you will be on the way to becoming a modern Dr. Seuss… of online brand marketing!

To create a neutral, contemporary kitchen that still is a focal point in the open plan space, designer Anna Williams of Ethos Interiors uses a two-pac cabinetry in a double strength of the wall color. Feature cabinets in a contemporary wood grain are designed to draw attention to the custom-made tile backsplash and feature on the front of the island, while the coastal color scheme from the rest of the house is brought into the space using colorful vases in the upper cabinets.

July 10, 2009 Local mayor won't run for re-election
As mayors and other local politicians file their intentions to run for positions within the county including re-election, Wesley Chapel Mayor Tracey Clinton announced that she has no plans to run for re-election.
Wesley Chapel Council has faced two controversial decisions and struggles with the local volunteer fire department and gun control. The council denied the Wesley Chapel Volunteer Fire Department a permit to build a new station. The VFD plans to appeal that decision and may bring a lawsuit against the village. The Village Council also passed an ordinance limiting the use of firearms within village limits.
A local landowner challenged the ordinance in court and has been granted a temporary injunction allowing him to flout the village rules.
But Clinton said that neither of those battles played into her decision to back out of politics. She said that she had decided some time ago not to run again and to offer her support to Councilman Brad Horvath in his bid for mayor.
Clinton is also the president of the Wesley Chapel Weddington Athletic Association, which is in the middle of its own struggles over floodplain issues at Optimist Park. Clinton said she will maintain her position there, at least until the floodplain issues are resolved
Weddington Mayor Nancy Anderson said she has not made a decision yet as to whether she will run for re-election. Anderson has until noon on July 17 to file for re-election.
As of now, two others have filed to run to be Weddington's mayor. Ken Evans and Barbara Harrison have both submitted their paperwork to the county elections office.
Marshville Mayor Frank Deese and Lake Park Mayor Kendall Spence have filed to run for re-election. Others still have a week to decide and file the necessary papers.

July 10, 2009 Gas leak closes county business
Waxhaw NC July 10 2009
An emergency call came into the County 911 Center Friday morning reporting a possible gas leak at an area business and that triggered a full response of emergency workers.
Union County officials say that the Waxhaw Family Physicians at 3614 Providence RD. reported that several people were getting sick in their office and that they suspect a gas leak in their building. Union County EMS and several fire departments responded to the call as workers and patients evacuated from the business.
EMS personnel said that they treated five persons on scene as fire personnel checked the building and notified gas department personnel to respond.
Authorities said that no one was injured or transported to the hospital and emergency personnel cleared from the scene.

July 6, 2009 Police say they have killed SC serial killer www.privateofficer.com
Authorities identified the suspect Monday night as 41-year-old Patrick Tracy Burris. They say bullets in the gun found on Burris after he was killed by police in Gastonia, N.C., matched those used to kill residents in and around Gaffney some 30 miles away.
Authorities did not immediately say where Burris was from.
GAFFNEY, S.C. (AP) — A man suspected of killing five people and terrorizing a South Carolina community was shot to death Monday by police investigating a burglary complaint at a home 30 miles away.
Ballistics tests on a gun and bullets found with the man in Gastonia, N.C., match those used in a weeklong killing spree in and around Gaffney, said State Law Enforcement Deputy Director Neil Dolan.
"We have him. He's our serial killer," Dolan said Monday night.
Authorities did not release the man's name, but said he has had several encounters with law enforcement over the years.
Dolan said the physical evidence leaves no doubt the slain suspect was the person who shot five people to death over six days. But investigators still have no idea why he started the killing spree June 27.
"He was unpredictable. He was scary. He was weird," Dolan said.
The case came to an end in Gastonia early Monday after a couple called police to report a suspicious sport utility vehicle in their neighborhood.
Mike and Terri Valentine were on edge because the Gaffney serial killer was just a short drive away.
They watched two people who sometimes visit the neighboring home get out of the vehicle, followed by a third man who matched the description of the killer: tall, heavyset, unshaven and wearing a baseball cap. The man appeared to be very drunk, Mike Valentine said.
When officers went inside, Terri Valentine said she heard someone yell "put it down" and heard a gunshot.
Then "bam, bam, bam, bam. Next thing I know, all of Gaston County was here," she said.
Gaston County police said the other two people were in custody, but did not indicate whether they were facing charges.
The Gaffney killings happened in a 10-mile area over six days. A peach farmer was killed June 27, an 83-year-old woman and her daughter were found bound and shot four days later, and the next day a father and his teen daughter were shot in their family's furniture store.
SLED Chief Reggie Lloyd said the investigation isn't over, and Cherokee County Sheriff Bill Blanton said investigators will trace the suspect's recent activities and trying to figure out if he has killed other people in other places.
Blanton said he hopes the arrest calms the fears of 54,000 people in the county 50 miles west of Charlotte, N.C., known for its peach orchards and mills.
"We feel the victims' pain," Blanton said. "This isn't over. We're just changing gears."

July 3, 2009 Area police to step up holiday traffic enforcement
Union County NC July 3 2009
Police in the Charlotte metro region and across the Carolinas are launching a Fourth of July holiday crackdown on speeding and drunk driving.
The crackdown already is under way, with the Highway Patrol in both Carolinas and local law enforcement agencies staying very active on the region's highways today.
In North Carolina, the police activity is being called Operation Firecracker. It involved the N.C. Highway Patrol, sheriff's offices and local police.
"I have instructed our troopers to crack down on traffic violators on our interstates and to apply strict enforcement to those motorists who are traveling at dangerous speeds or in a careless manner," said Colonel Walter Wilson Jr., commander of the N.C. Highway Patrol.
North Carolina troopers will use electronic speed-tracking devices and will increase their road patrols. South Carolina troopers will do the same, authorities there say.
In addition to speeding, police say they also plan to watch for drunk drivers.
Police though-out Union County will also be stepping up enforcement looking for aggressive driving, vehicles that do not maintain a safe distance with vehicles in front of them, weaving drivers, speeders and DUI violators.
Area police will also be using roadblocks in various parts of the county.
And, added N.C. Highway Patrol spokesman Capt. Everett Clendenin, troopers also will increase efforts to deal with people who violate the state's littering laws. Clendenin said that under tougher littering laws passed by the N.C. General Assembly, first-time offenders can be fined as much as $1,000 and be ordered to perform up to 24 hours of community service. Repeat offenders can get a $2,000 fine and 50 hours community service.

July 3, 2009 Monroe police search for car thief
MONROE NC July 3 2009
Police said that what started as a call about a suspicious vehicle ended up with a search for a car theft suspect and a recovery of a stolen vehicle.
The call came into the 911 communications center at around 4:40pm Wednesday and when police arrived they found more than what they had expected.
Monroe police also called in the Union County sheriff's office K-9 team to help track for any suspects in the area as other officers closed off areas around Hospital Drive and kept a perimeter.
After several hours of searching, police did not locate anyone but said that the case is still under investigation.
