NBC very much would like Michael Phelps to keep winning
No matter what happens the rest of the way, it will be difficult to top the image of Michael Phelps' celebratory primal scream after teammate Jason Lezak brought home the 4x100-meter relay gold for the U.S. Sunday.
Here is a Tuesday newspaper column I wrote about the call of that race on NBC.
And here is another piece of my Tuesday column, in which I write about NBC's live on-line video streaming.
(A clarification regarding the latter: NBC has expert bloggers covering every sport at the Games for its Web site, but sometimes when multiple live events are being shown at the same time, some games will not be covered by a blogger. Hence the absence of blogging explanation during the big Netherlands-South Africa men's field hockey tilt I watched Monday.)

Move Your Crap, City Starts 'Dibs' Junk Removal Monday
Get your crap off the street or the city will remove it for you starting Monday.
With the weather warming up and much of the snow melted from city streets, Streets and Sanitation crews will start collecting the junk people use to "reserve" street parking spaces according to DNA Info.
With the extreme amount of snow piling up on streets this winter, this practice or reserving spaces or 'dibs' has grown more pervasive than in normal winters.
Department of Streets and Sanitation spokesperson Molly Poppe told DNA Info crews will hit the streets Monday morning to start collecting the chairs, buckets, tables and many other items littering city streets.
Dibs 'Thief' Rids Chicago Neighborhoods From Street Junk
A man, a van and a camera.
According to Curbed Chicago, an upright citizen is doing the job the Department of Streets and Sanitation should be doing.
And that's removing the junk from residential streets that's being used to save parking spaces after a big snow–in other words "dibs."
The Dibs "Thief" collects the chairs and other stuff and assembles them in his yard and other locations around his residence as quasi art installations.
Fight Back Against Dibs & 'Dump The Junk'
Are you sick of all the junk on your street?
Are you tired of the lawn furniture, milk crates, buckets, two by fours and other random crap neighbors are placing on the street to "reserve" the parking space they dug out for their car?
Do you hate the idiotic "tradition" of dibs?
Us too.
So The Expired Meter is resurrecting our "Dump The Junk!" campaign.
It's our effort to try and cure Chicago of this queer "tradition" of using and other junk to save a parking space in front of your house after digging out from a snowstorm.
This winter has been so rough, and side streets are still snow packed and difficult to park that more drivers than ever are embracing dibs.
This practice is selfish, filthy and idiotic–and needs to stop.
Video: 'Dibs' Hustler Pokes Fun At Chicago Winter Tradition
Two local improv comedians have put together a humorous take on the winter tradition of 'dibs' in a video which debuted Saturday on YouTube.
Produced by Alonzo Alcaraz and starring Jessie David Perez, who plays Juan Jose the human, gang-banging version of a dibs place holder, essentially intimidating drivers from snagging the spaces he protects.
DNA Info has a more in-depth report on Alcaraz and his video, "'The Dibs Hustler': Comedian Tackles Chicago Parking Tradition in New Video."
No Truth To Rumors Of 'Dibs' Crackdown By City
No, the rumors are not true–the City of Chicago is not cracking down on people who are taking 'dibs' with side street parking spots.
According to the city, local media outlets erroneously reported last week the city was not going to honor the long standing tradition of drivers using household junk to reserve freshly dug out parking spots.
Woman Tired Of 'Dibs' Shovels Out Entire Block
Jamie Lynn Ferguson is awesome.
This Humboldt Park woman took the day off from work to clear the street of snow for an entire block so drivers could park more easily and not have to use junk to save their parking spots. Ferguson told WGN News she was tired of tradition of "dibs" but also concerned about the elderly woman on the street who are physically unable to shovel snow.
Complaints Of Slow Snow Removal Piling Up Say Aldermen
Five days after snow from a major storm stopped falling, some Chicago aldermen and residents are charging the city has done a poor job clearing snow from side streets.
Thursday, Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6th) initially claimed a "salt shortage" has led to "dangerous" conditions in his ward. Sawyer contended in a news release he thought the "crippled" side streets in his ward would be cleared as temperatures rose on Thursday, but was "shocked" to learn of a salt shortage that allowed trucks to dump only one load of slush-melting salt onto side streets.
But a spokeswoman for the city's Department of Streets and Sanitation denied that the city was facing a salt shortage and said that as temperatures rise, the existing salt on the roadways will start working better.
"We have more than 100,000 tons of salt, and our supply is being replenished daily. We have multiple vendors and will have enough salt for the winter season," said the spokeswoman, Molly Poppe.
Ald. Scott Waguespack (32nd) said his office is hearing complaints — "two to three hundred calls over the past few days."
Waguespack said he believe that city plows waited too long before starting on the side streets so by the time the trucks got off the main routes the hard-packed snow had turned to thick ice.
UPDATE: By early evening, Sawyer had softened his position according to ABC 7 News.
Two Aldermen Come Out Against 'Dibs' Parking
Aldmermen Rey Colon (35th) and Scott Waguespack (32nd) are discouraging constituents to not engage in taking "dibs" with parking spots they've shoveled out according to DNA Info.
The news website also reports that Ald. Colon's office is hearing from constituents about altercations between residents on snow streets in his ward.
Dibs is the Chicago tradition of using household junk to save a parking space after digging out a vehicle from heavy snowfall. The practice is technically illegal according to the city's municipal code but it is rarely, if ever enforced. The Department of Streets and Sanitation crews are typically too preoccuppied dealing with snow removal to enforce this law.
CBS 2 Says Big Snowfalls Brings 'Dibs' Back To City Streets
It's official.
Junk, crap, garbage…it's all coming back to Chicago's residential streets as drivers dig their cars out from the many inches of snow that have blanketed the city over the past several days.
CBS 2 has the full report, "'Dibs' Returns With Massive Snowfall."
Newsradio 780′s Mike Krauser also has a radio report on the tradition, "With Major Snow Comes Chicago Tradition: Chairs, Orange Cones — Anything — To Mark 'Dibs'."
Tips For Drivers To Survive Chicago's Cold Winter Weather
Here's some tips and reminders to make sure your car starts on the coldest mornings and you get from here to there and back safely.
Keep Your Gas Tank Full
The first thing I did was top off each vehicle's gas tank. Keeping your tank at least half full or more will make starting your car on mornings easier on your battery.
Use Fuel Line Anti-Freeze Treatment
After filling up the gas tank, I pulled out a bright yellow bottle of Heet to add to the gas tank.
When you know the weather is going to be really cold, add a bottle of Heet, or any similar fuel line anti-freeze treatment to a full tank of gas. These products help remove water from your gas tank and fuel lines so they don't freeze up when it gets really cold.
While there are many generic brands of fuel line anti-freeze on the market, Heet is Chicago born, bred and manufactured by Gold Eagle Products on the South Side–and we like to support our local Windy City businesses.

BARWICK, Ga. — The chief of police — and only law enforcement officer with the Barwick agency — died Thursday from a heart attack while at the scene of a domestic disturbance.
Chief Anthony Barfield, 47, began having difficulty breathing at the scene and was transported to a hospital, where he later died, according to ODMP.
"He was dedicated to the city of Barwick and his family and he will be sorely missed," Barwick City Councilman Dale Hicks told WALB.
In a small town of less than 400, Hicks said everyone knew Chief Barfield, who they referred to as Tony.
"Everybody knows everybody and Tony was about as much family to us as one of our own," said Hicks.

BALTIMORE - Baltimore's mayor has proposed closing some small neighborhood pools this summer to trim costs.
The plan calls for closing seven of 13 small pools across the city.
Recreation and Parks Director Gregory Bayor says the city's six large pools in public parks, including those in Patterson Park and Druid Hill Park, would remain open.
City Council President Bernard C. Young and other council members say they oppose the closures and will fight to keep the pools open. A spokesman for Young says the council president plans to contact the mayor to see if they can find a way to keep the pools open.
Officials have not yet determined which pools would be closed.

Click here for the Online Form for Accessibility Services
What Documentation Will I Need to Provide to Receive Academic Accommodations?
PLEASE NOTE: An IEP/504 is not adequate documentation at the post-secondary level.
What if I Need to Request Housing Accommodations?

What Role Do My Parents Play?

A parent(s) or family member(s) is welcome to attend the "Orientation Meeting for Accessibility Services" with the ADA Coordinator when the student is preparing to begin his/her academic career at West Liberty University.
What Constitutes a Disability?
A disability is defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as a mental or physical impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities. Learning is an example of a major life activity. If you have a mental or physical condition, a history of such a condition, or a condition which may be considered by others as substantially limiting, you may have a legally defined disability.
What Does "Substantially Limiting" Mean?
According to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, substantially limiting is defined as being unable to perform a major life activity, or significantly restricted as to the condition, manner, or duration under which a major life activity can be performed, in comparison to the average person or to most people.
What is a Major Life Activity?
According to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a major life activity is defined as caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working.
The ADA Amendment Acts of 2008 expanded this list to also include eating, sleeping, standing, lifting, reading, bending, concentrating, thinking, communicating, and working. In addition the ADA also includes major bodily functions (e.g., "functions of the immune system, normal cell growth, digestive, bowel, bladder, neurological, brain, respiratory, circulatory, endocrine, and reproductive functions").

Tallahassee, FL - Jason E. Smith has been arrested for a carjacking that occurred yesterday, December 11, 2012.
Tallahassee, FL - December 11, 2012 - Tallahassee Police have in custody, the man accused of carjacking an elderly woman's car outside the United Methodist Church in Tallahassee off of Park Avenue.
Police say the man pointed a gun at the woman, stealing her car. When officers arrived in the area they spotted the vehicle on Monroe Street.
"The vehicle fled from the [police lights] and struck another police car and came to rest right behind us," said Officer Dave Northway.
The car ended up at the Capital City Bank at the corner of Monroe and Tennessee. One officer was treated at a local hospital for minor injuries on his ankle. The victim of the carjacking wasn't the only person impacted. Several cars in the parking lot were actually smashed into.
Britt Henderson works at Capital City Bank and came out to find his car had taken quite the hit.
"I was shocked," said Henderson. "I didn't know what to think. I was just hoping it was driveable."
Police aren't releasing the name of the suspect or what weapon was used in the carjacking. He remains in jail pending formal charges.
Tallahassee, FL - 10:30 am - Around 9:30 this morning, a female victim was carjacked. The victim called the police to report that she was carjacked. Soon after, TPD spotted the car on Monroe Street.

Panetta never read the Allen e-mails; The U.S. military begins Mali airlift; Hagelians push back on nuke critics; CSIS gets some love; Kaplan at Politics and Prose tonight, and a little more.
Panetta didn't read the Allen e-mails. The DOD inspector general's exoneration of Gen. John Allen means his promotion to the top job in Europe can move forward if the White House re-nominates him. With Pentagon press secretary George Little expressing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's "complete confidence in the continued leadership" of Allen, it seems unlikely the White House would think twice about sending his name back to the Senate, where there has been no indication that Allen would face substantive opposition. One indication that Allen was expected to be cleared: there never was a Plan B -- another person who was being seriously considered for the job in Europe -- and still isn't, an American official told Situation Report. (There are other options, however -- the Air Force's Gilmary "Mike" Hostage being just one.)
Still, defense officials told us there was a sigh of relief when the news came that Allen had indeed been cleared and they are hopeful his career will move forward. "This news came as a relief to Pentagon insiders and people are rooting for him to head to Europe as SACEUR," one Pentagon official told Situation Report this morning. "He's a stand-up guy who commands great respect from civilian and military officials alike."
Allen was caught up in the scandal with David Petraeus and Paula Broadwell when the FBI stumbled onto emails between him and Tampa socialite Jill Kelley, but it quickly seemed that Panetta had acted out of an abundance of caution in calling for an investigation. In private, U.S. officials conceded they thought Allen would be cleared. At no point did Panetta even read the e-mails, Situation Report is told, leaving it to "legal professionals" and investigators to determine if there was wrongdoing.
But it was still unclear which way it would go for Allen. It took more than two months for the DOD IG to investigate the emails -- and the clock was ticking for Allen because if he hadn't been cleared in the next month or so, he would have risked reverting to a two-star rank, since federal regs dictate that a senior officer can't be unassigned for more than 60 days, and his career may not have recovered. But investigators were taking care to avoid the perception that they had rushed through an investigation of a senior officer and then cleared him, perhaps mistakenly. "The last thing you want is to go through an investigative process that clears someone only to have someone pop back up and say, 'Well, what about this?'" one U.S. official told Situation Report.
The U.S. military got off its hands on Mali. After days of wrestling over how it could legally support France in its bid against Islamic extremism in Mali's north - since the U.S. severed ties with Mali's government after its most recent coup - U.S. military operations are now in full swing. We're told that there have been five C-17 sorties from France to Bamako, moving more than 120 tons of equipment and supplies and more than 80 troops. Pentagon officials expect 2-3 sorties or mission-trips, per day for the duration of the U.S.-supported airlift. And the expectation, Situation Report is told, is that the mission will be completed in the next two weeks.

And sign up for Situation Report here: http://bit.ly/NCN9uN or just drop me an e-mail and I'll put you on the list. And if you have a report, piece of news, or tidbit you want teased, send it to us early for maximum tease.
Fred Kaplan is at Politics and Prose tonight. The author will read from his new book, "The Insurgents: David Petraeus and the Plot to Change the American Way of War," at the Washington bookstore at 7 p.m.
Rising star goes to work for the military's special operators. Maj. Gen. Mike Nagata has been assigned to command special operations forces at U.S. Central Command. The E-Ring's Kevin Baron reports that Nagata has been one to watch, first gaining attention when he was the head U.S. military officer in Islamabad. "Operating from the shadows in support of the fight against al Qaeda and the affiliate's senior leaders," said Frank Kearney, now retired, who at one time had the job Nagata is about to step into. "General Nagata has developed inter-agency, country team and U.S. embassy relationships throughout CENTCOM and the Horn of Africa," he said, describing him as "unassuming and affable." His experience makes him the "perfect choice" to lead, Kearney said. http://atfp.co/UkmbyV
CSIS gets some love from Penn. CSIS was chosen for the second time as the world's "top security and international affairs think tank" by the University of Pennsylvania's Think Tanks and Civil Societies program. For more: http://bit.ly/10OU1kL
The most worrisome fight against Hagel is now about nukes. As Situation Report reported Jan. 9, some critics of Chuck Hagel have targeted things he has said about disarmament. His signing on with Global Zero, an advocacy organization that supports the elimination of nuclear weapons, was seen as a problem by some of his critics, including Rep. Mike Turner, the Republican from Ohio,, even though the group has many notable backers.
The attacks, however, are concerning to the Hagel camp, who say those individuals are "totally misrepresenting" his record on nuclear policy. They have now begun to defend his record by actively promoting his record. "The fact of the matter is that his views are perfectly in line with the President's," we were told. "He believes in an effective deterrent and a strong arsenal as long as America faces nuclear threats." Hagel's confirmation hearings are scheduled for next Thursday. http://1.usa.gov/XdShct

The man accused in the 2011 shooting death of Marion County resident Kenneth Hudson pleaded guilty Wednesday in Criminal Court to homicide charges, officials said.
According to Marion County Circuit Court records, Jarrod Pickett, 26 when he was arrested Feb. 9, 2011, pleaded guilty to reduced charges of reckless homicide, a class D felony. Pickett was originally charged with first-degree murder.
Pickett also pleaded guilty to charges of promotion of methamphetamine manufacturing, records show. Pickett gained that charge this year.
Circuit Court Judge Thomas Graham sentenced Pickett on Wednesday to a combined 12 years in prison on the two, unrelated counts, records show.
Pickett was charged with shooting Hudson, 50, in the head as the two men and a 17-year-old juvenile girl rode along Shellmound Road in Hudson's pickup truck on Feb. 7, 2011, according to testimony in a 2011 preliminary hearing. Hudson's body was left along the roadside as Pickett fled. Pickett was taken into custody in Chattanooga a couple of days later.

As the aftermath of the real-estate/credit bubble enters its second year, let's begin by devoting our attention to two key cogs in that wheel: the National Association of Realtors and the National Association of Mortgage Brokers.
For both organizations, the operative words are: long on bombast, short on shame.
Mark-to-fantasy still rulesReacting last Tuesday to macro data near and dear to his heart, NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun made his own plea for what -- in Wall Street terms -- would be called mark-to-model:
"Pending home sales indicated much stronger activity, but some contracts are falling through from faulty (my emphasis) valuations that keep buyers from getting a loan."
By "faulty," he meant: "Lenders are using appraisers who may not be familiar with a neighborhood, or who compare traditional homes with distressed and discounted sales." (A slight variation is contained within a letter to members from the NAMB: "Appraisal Management Companies are assigning appraisers from a different municipality, county, or even state to appraise the target house. Therefore, unfamiliar with the neighborhood and unable to produce an accurate appraisal.")
In other words, we don't want these house prices marked to the last sale. We want them marked to where we think they ought to be marked.
Yun continued: "In the past month, stories of appraisal problems have been snowballing from across the country, with many contracts falling through at the last moment. There's the danger of a delayed housing market recovery and a further rise in foreclosures if the appraisal problems are not quickly corrected."
Honest appraisals: Not in my backyardThat pathetic little threat didn't cut it for Barry Ritholtz (the author of "Bailout Nation," among his other talents), who, in an e-mail to me, summed up the situation:
"I did some more digging, and I quickly discovered what this contemptible suggestion was all about: It is part of a broader lobbying effort by the National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB) and the NAR against honest appraisals. For more proof of this lobbying effort, see the letters to mortgage brokers and real estate agents from their trade associations to mobilize against mandating honest appraisals."
(Ritholtz has posted both the mortgage brokers letter and the Realtors letter on his Web site.)
So, in the wake of the greatest credit/real-estate bubble the world has ever seen, we get this: On the one hand, the powers that be decide they really don't want to utilize mark-to-market accounting in the financial system. On the other, those at the epicenter of the real-estate bubble itself are advocating the use of appraisers who will come up with the "right" number rather than a realistic evaluation.

Girls who inspire: Helena of A Diary of Lovely.Tuesday, January 18, 2011
This week I am featuring Helena from A Diary of Lovely. I love this girl. She is super chic, so sweet, and uses one of my favorite words in the title of her blog. And did I mention that she lives in London? Yeah. London. When can I come visit???
name & age:
Helena, 28
Barcelona, Spain
current home:
London, UK
meaning behind my blog name:
aaah none really, I always say it half embarrassed, but it is just what it says really, a collection of everything that makes me happy, everything lovely and beautiful
current job:
I'm an account manager at an affiliate network, whaaat you say? I look after some retailers in a very specific part of their online marketing strategy (more or less)
dream job:
Be a mom. But I have always had this dream of having a little boutique where I would sell everything that I would like to buy, from candles, to pretty floaty dresses, from delicate necklaces to fancy rings. A bit of everything, with pretty interiors wher eone could feel at home, where ladies could try clothes as if they were at home (aka not in a tiny bad lighted box) and gentlemen can find the perfect gift. All that in my hometown, in Barcelona. And travel around the world to find these beauties, or around the internet world nowadays.
if i could travel anywhere...:
I would LOVE to go on road trip through California. And to Turkey, New York, Morroco, Venice! South Africa, Cuba, so many places really!
something unique about me:
ok, that's a tricky one... I'm a multilingual, I speak 5 languages, was born in Barcelona, grew up between Barcelona and Athens and now live in London.
i like to:
discover new blogs, it's such a rush when I find someone new that excites me so much to follow I had it with Danielle, (no ass kissing (oops!) here, just the truth), I love going to the cinema and reading a good book (while writing this I'm reading One Day which I have been recommending all over!), I would love to say I love going to the gym but hey no, not a sporty girl here, but need to get on track! Shopping, lately online shopping, tv, I'm a big tv fan oh yes! I like cooking but I lack the imagination to be innovative, that's my boyfriend's work :) Who wouldn't want to be a Nigella Lawson?
i watch:
too much tv, hahahaha!
TV: Criminal Minds, The Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, Two Men and a Half, Glee, The Mentalist... and film wise: I'm a twihard, but I love many other films like the Godfather, King Arthur, It's Complicated, Two for the Road, The Client...
listening to:
mmmm, not much, I love everything that everyone loves really.
crushing on:
Edward but at the moment I'm between Clive Owen and Johnny Depp
5 things that inspire me:
Blogs, TV, London (anywhere you go there is something that will make me go "That is"), Anthropologie (yes they know how to reach my senses! Below the green wall in the London store) and not a thing but a person, my Mom of course
what inspired you to start blogging?
As many, I was inspired by all the other fabulous bloggers. I also wanted a place to store all the lovely things out there. And it has been such a fantastic creative outlet.
what is your favorite thing about blogging?
Getting to virtually know some fabulous people really and a some in real life too. This one is obvious of course, and pretty much everyone feels that way. I have also feel inspired to be a better person, there is so much kindness and kindred spirits that one feels kind of ashamed if not hahaha, lame, maybe but truth.
do you have a favorite go-to outfit?
A couple, but I'm pretty boring to be honest, it's usually jeans, top, cardigan, boots or skirt, top, cardigan, boots, see a trend here??
Thank you so much Danielle, I'm dearly honored. xo

COPYRIGHT LAW: The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material regardless of the format of that material. Copyright law is complicated and its interpretation is sometimes controversial. The College has prepared a comprehensive guide* to copyright in an effort to help us all better understand what is allowable by law, and why some services that have been provided in the past may now be restricted. A summary can be found here.
*the full text of the Handbook on Copyright Policy is available on eDisk in the "Office of the Provost" public folder
PEER-TO-PEER PROGRAMS (P2P): As of September 1, 2007, we no longer allow P2P traffic on the network. Let me explain the reasons for this policy.
Franklin & Marshall invests significant resources to provide a robust, redundant and secure network infrastructure to allow students, faculty and professional staff to connect to resources and servers on campus and across the internet to support and enhance their academic and administrative collaborations. We provide this access, and the associated computing resources, in full compliance with all local, state and federal laws that pertain to copyright, security and intellectual property (see Responsible Computing at Franklin & Marshall).
For a number of years we have used network tools to limit the type of traffic that is allowed on the network. For example, we only allowed 5% of the capacity of the network to be used for P2P traffic. In spite of this restriction, we continued to see P2P traffic on the network and the overwhelming percentage of this traffic appeared to be music and video file sharing. We sent out annual messages about the dangers of sharing such files illegally and in spring 2007 you may remember a warning letter Dean Taber and I sent about new more aggressive tactics being adopted by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to curtail illegal file sharing of copyrighted materials.
Unfortunately, we continued to receive numerous copyright infringement claims from the RIAA and others that took considerable staff time to comply with and, in the end, individuals identified were still held responsible for their behavior and remained at-risk of a lawsuit and loss of network privileges. In fact, in summer 2007 we received eleven pre-settlement letters from the RIAAs counsel that outlined the minimum penalty of $750 per infringement (most had hundreds of songs identified) unless the claims are settled.
Therefore, for above cited reasons and the difficulty identifying any legitimate use of P2P file sharing that was directly related to the academic mission of the College, we began to block all P2P traffic as of September 1, 2007. Please note the decision to block P2P does NOT effect instant messaging, iChat, iTunes or Skype traffic, as each will continue to be allowed on the network. Further, there will be an appeal mechanism in place if you feel you have a legitimate need to use P2P file sharing programs in order to complete your academic responsibilities or successfully do your job at the College. Please contact me directly at 717-291-4073 or to discuss your situation. For information on how to legally download music from the Internet, click on this link
THE DIGITAL MILLENIUM COPYRIGHT ACT (DMCA): The DMCA specifies procedures that Franklin & Marshall must follow when notified an individual using our network is violating copyright laws. If the copyright holder contacts Franklin & Marshall's DMCA Agent about a violation we will stop network access for the individual, notify him/her of the notice we have received, and require removal of the offending material from his/her computer. The individual has the right to claim that the material is not protected by copyright and then a legal process begins. To date, every notice we have received has resulted in the offending material being removed.
PROTECTING YOURSELF: Because of functionality built into file-sharing software resident on your computer, your audio and video files may be available for uploading over the Internet without your knowledge or permission. The SHARING pane enables a Mac to be accessed from other Macs on a network via File Sharing, and other computers on the Internet via FTP and the Web. We recommend that you leave the SHARING features set to the default, which is off. Information Technology Services provides further information on how to turn off this functionality and tips on responsible computing. For more Information and tips, click here.

A Breaux Bridge family is out of their home after firefighters say lightning sparked a fire. It happened during rough weather, which moved through Acadiana producing cloud to ground lightning. One of those bolts taking aim at a home on Mills Avenue. Luckily no one was home at the time of the fire, but the fire still sparked some very tense moments.
Blaine Albert stands in what's left of his sister's home in disbelief of what happened.
"She's a single mom its gotta be hard with two young kids," said Albert. "That's a loss."
He lives on the same property and was standing on his porch when the lightening struck. It was so loud it shook his trailor. When he saw smoke coming from the roof of his sister's home he panicked, not sure if his niece and nephew were inside.
"I ran inside to see if my sisters kids was there. There was heavy smoke. I couldn't see. I just had to open up the doors to see if they were in the beds. I was just trying to feel for them and I kept yelling, but they weren't there," said Albert.
The kids and their mother were next door at their grandparents house.
"It felt like it took them forever, but I was so panicky. I was at the bend of the road over on Breaux Bridge Highway because I didn't think they'd know where it was," said Albert. "So I was just trying to flag them down when I seen them. It was just something you couldn't stop I guess."
The house is a total loss and the family is already pulling out what they can to try and save.
"Well I'm blessed. I mean to see my sister and them still here it's a great thing, it really is," said Albert.

New AgriLife Extension agent hired for Oldham County
The Texas AgriLife Extension Service has named Cory Whitaker as the new agricultural and natural resources agent in Oldham County, according to Dr. Galen Chandler, AgriLife Extension regional program director for agriculture and natural resources.
"I am pleased to have Cory join the Texas AgriLife Extension Service team in the Panhandle District," Chandler said. "He comes to us with valuable production agriculture experience and a good knowledge of the 4-H program. His internship with the AgriLife Extension program in Cottle County will allow him to get off to a quick start with his new career."
Whitaker, a native of Paducah, is a recent graduate of West Texas A&M University where he earned his bachelor's of science in agriculture education.
Whitaker said he wanted to find a position where his agricultural background on the family cotton farm and in 4-H would be utilized.
"I knew I wanted to be a county agent or an FFA advisor, and with 4-H, the kids choose to be there, so you know they want to be involved," he said.
"I know Oldham County has a strong program already and good people to work with in all the programs, so hopefully I can help them keep that up," Whitaker said.
While in college, Whitaker worked for Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle Compress Inc., and in the summer of 2007 he interned at the AgriLife Extension office in Cottle County.
