Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Knoxville (WVLT) – A light snow is expected to fall across East Tennessee on Saturday night.
According to the National Weather Service, a large low pressure system made its way across the northern Gulf of Mexico on Saturday morning and remained off the Carolina coast in the afternoon, allowing it to pick up moisture which has spread to our region.
The best chance for snow accumulation is in the mountains, but a dusting may develop on grassy surfaces across the valley and plateau.
The NWS said because the temperatures are hovering above freezing for most of the day, roads should not become hazardous, except possibly in the mountains.
As the low pressure system leaves East Tennessee, an artic air mass will move into the area overnight, meaning you may have to battle single digit temperatures on your way to church in the morning.
Finally, the NWS expects northerly winds to accompany the air mass, meaning it could feel as low as five degrees below zero overnight.
Meteorologist Jim Freeman is tracking the system, and will have the latest tonight on Volunteer TV News at 6:00 and on the Night Watch at 11.

Back in 2000, N64 games – especially N64 games that required the ill-advised expansion pack – didn't exactly have much street cred. Aware of this, the Big N and Rare decided it was time to enter into some risqué business advertising. On paper, it made good business sense. After all, Sony had opened games up to a whole new audience thanks to their edgy PlayStation ads.
What better way to sell a sexy, female-lead, sci-fi FPS than some of this…
While we've got no problems with bumpy parts of the girly variety, the whole concept of selling Perfect Dark on the back of sex appeal is truly bewildering. Especially when this is your lead character…
With the Dreamcast and Sonic's sexy, next-gen curves already available to gamers, Joanna Dark's pixelated mess of a face and blocky 64 bit-sponsored textures hardly said 'Sex on a cartridge'. Misleading, then. Not that we mind too much, of course. The final game was ace and deserved to sell as many copies as possible.
The first MotorStorm was undeniably exciting. Probably the only game worth owning at the PS3's launch, it combined break neck speed with sickening break your neck physics and vehicle argy-bargy. And what could possibly go wrong with the sequel when it looks like the video below?
Exciting, no? Well, it would be if half of the death-defying footage shown in the ad held the merest glimmer of truth. Hurtling hundreds of feet from the back of a biplane to meet the starting line-up below? Awesome! Pity the actual game always starts like this…
Above: Not a death-baiting plane jump in sight
The last 20 seconds of gameplay may also look exciting, but are pretty misleading compared with our experiences of the game. We'd say a more accurate trailer would take out all the explosions of bikers getting twatted and replace them with infuriating footage of drivers getting stuck behind tiny rocks and palm trees.

Prime river views trump flood protection
CLARKSVILLE, Mo. — Her Missouri hamlet soon to celebrate its 200th birthday, Mayor Jo Anne Smiley embraces Clarksville's perilous place along the Mississippi River, never mind that that the waters again threaten to wipe it and its potpourri of specialty shops off the map.
In places like Clarksville and the Illinois town of Grafton just across the river, it's always been the clear views of the Mississippi drawing the tourists, unobstructed by a permanent levee. But that's left both communities north of St. Louis vulnerable.

I finished my semester last Saturday and have been recovering ever since. I think I just hit the proverbial wall and it's taken me a whole week to feel sorta normal again. I am so flippin' happy that I decided to not finish my degree this summer. I'd already be in class again! I'm ready to relax and enjoy my family and friends again! We have a packed summer ahead but it's all fun stuff that I'm looking forward to.
We went to the pool today with the kids and they are turning into good little swimmers. They are really at a fun age right now: Benjamin is 6 and Lila will turn 3 in July. It's getting easier for me as they get older and more able to do things for themselves.
Finish this final project, get in some exercise and not stress eat (too much).......
I have had so much fun in this class (Applied Technology in Library Practice) and truly I wish that it had been offered in a whole 15 week semester as opposed to this crazy 3.5 week Maymester. That being said, I will be very, very, happy on Saturday when this class is officially over and I have 2 whole months off from school. In the fall I have two more classes and then I'll be DONE.
Monday: 3 miles with Leslie (45 min) + TKD class (60 min)
Tuesday: no exercise
Wednesday: 3 miles with Leslie (3# weights) (50 min)
Thursday: 4 miles with Leslie (firm band) (60 min)
Friday: 4 miles with Leslie (firm band) (60 min)
Saturday: 3 miles with Leslie (classic, arms and legs miles from 5 Day Slim Down) (60 min)
Sunday: 3 miles with Leslie (stretchie, 45 minutes)
I'm feeling good about getting this much cardio in considering my uber busy school schedule right now. Honestly, I feel like that helped my stress level!
I'm looking forward to being done with this Maymester class (although it's really fascinating) so that I can focus on hanging out with my 6 year old son and my nearly 3 year old daughter for two whole months. I'm perpetually busy with grad school and am excited to not have something hanging over my head all the time. Hanging out at the park and going swimming every day sounds like lots of fun to me!

10 Bears Things: Santonio Holmes Signing Not Risky
By Adam Hoge-
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Here are the 10 most important things to know from a busy day at Halas Hall:
1. Contrary to popular belief, Santonio Holmes is a low risk, high reward signing. Does Holmes come with some baggage? Sure. But, in this case, he also comes with a low contract that the Bears can terminate tomorrow. If Holmes works out, he brings experience and reliable route running to a potent offense that needs depth. The bigger question is his health after a serious foot injury in 2012 and a hamstring injury last season. The timing of the signing is also difficult as it's going to be hard for him to know the offense well enough to get significant reps Friday night in Seattle. If he can't go Friday, he likely won't get any preseason reps with Jay Cutler in a game. Holmes is busy trying to keep up, working at Halas Hall over the weekend and staying late after practice Monday going through some routes with quarterback Jordan Palmer.
2. Pat O'Donnell won the punting competition and Brandon Hartson appears to have won the long snapper job. The Bears cut Tress Way and Chad Rempel Monday, effectively ending both special teams competitions. With two roster spots open, they signed returner Darius Reynaud and cornerback Peyton Thompson. You can throw Reynaud into the kick/punter returner mix as he's two years removed from leading the league in return yards (1,650 in 2012).
3. Chris Williams is practicing again, but Micheal Spurlock will supposedly get first crack at returns this week. Speaking of the return game, the Bears were happy to see Williams (hamstring) return to the practice Monday, but special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis said Spurlock will get the first look at returns this week. That's somewhat surprising because Spurlock has two muffed punts this preseason and Williams has yet to get a return opportunity in a game. It's possible the Bears are just publicly saying that because Williams still needs to be cleared to play, because otherwise, Williams needs all the return work he can get Friday night.
4. Josh Morgan will get the first shot at the No. 3 wide receiver job this week. As Holmes crams to learn the offense, Morgan will try to keep his recent momentum going. Trestman said Morgan will get the first opportunity to run with the No. 1 offense this week and if he performs well, he could make it hard for Holmes to pass him.
5. Chris Conte should play Friday. It sounds like Conte still needs to be medically cleared to play in Seattle, but the expectation is that he will be. Both Trestman and defensive coordinator Mel Tucker indicated that the plan is for Conte to play Friday. It's important, as it will be Conte's one and only opportunity get live action against a No. 1 offense in the preseason. The safety rotations for Friday are still to be determined, per Tucker, but it would be surprising not to see Conte out there early against Russell Wilson & Co.
6. Kyle Fuller's ankle injury is not considered serious. The rookie cornerback did not practice Monday, but he's day-to-day. His status for Friday's game is unclear and the Bears will surely be disappointed if he can't play. All rookies need as many reps in the preseason as possible and he already missed a full game after injuring his ankle on the opening kickoff last week.
7. Jordan Mills has the boot off his left foot. He didn't practice Monday and is still considered day-to-day, but it's at least a step in the right direction. Trestman brushed off a question about whether or not Mills' regular season availability is in jeopardy, simply saying: "I'm hopeful it's not."
Mills, meanwhile, continues to say they are just being careful with the foot, which he had surgically repaired in the offseason.
"I'm a 318 pound man putting force on it every day. I need to take it easy," he said.
At this point, it would be surprising to see Mills play Friday in Seattle, but the second-year pro could certainly use the work as he tries to build on his rookie season.
8. Lance Briggs has a knee contusion. Nothing to be too concerned about.
9. The Bears need to fill Eric Weems' spot on special teams. Weems might not be missed as a returner and wide receiver, but he was a pretty reliable, feisty special teamer the last two seasons. DeCamillis singled out running back Shaun Draughn, cornerback Demontre Hurst and linebacker Jerry Franklin as three guys "who have stepped up in the speed positions." For players trying to make the 53-man roster, it's always good to hear that from your special teams coordinator.
10. Defensive end Willie Young (knee bruise) returned to practice after missing last week's game. So did Dante Rosario (calf).

The Palm Oil Revolution: Turning Promises Into ActionPosted by Laurel sutherlin 12/18/14
2014 will be remembered for growing waves of grassroots activism calling for "system change" across a range of urgent environmental and social justice challenges. For the globalized food industry, activism to hold corporations accountable for theConflict Palm Oil in their products has created a watershed moment, and provoked a "re-think" of business-as-usual among the world's largest agribusiness trading companies - Significantly, this includes Cargill, which has seen one after another of their major food manufacturing clients demand a radical re-structuring of global supply chains to provide them with traceable, responsible palm oil. Communities on the frontlines in Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Liberia and other rainforest regions, with help from allies campaigning across the globe, are working together to expose the links between the palm oil found in most products on grocery store shelves and forest destruction, climate pollution and human and labor rights abuses associated with palm...

Ex-thinnest phone, Huawei Ascend P6, to get Android 4.4 KitKat by January 2014
There was a time not too long ago, when Chinese Huawei's elegant 4.7-inch Ascend P6 held the title of the thinnest smartphone ever made. With a profile measuring at just 6.18mm, Huawei's flagship was one of the slenderest phones out there. That is, until the Vivo X3 came out, of course.
The Huawei Ascend P6 may not be the most popular phone worldwide, but it was a big hit with locals, with a whopping 2 million pre-orders, and we've come across people handlign the device on the street more than once. Those of you that have gotten their hands on a Huawei-branded phone before, are probably aware of its Emotion UI skin on top of Android, and the various tweaks the custom ROM offers. Unfortunately, as is the case with most any such customizations, they tend to lag behind official Android updates, and significantly. Huawei appears weary of this trend, and has announced on Weibo that it'll be leapfrogging Android 4.3 altogether and going straight for Android 4.4 KitKat, at least on the P6. The new firmware should be cooked and ready to go by the end of January next year, so about two months or so from now.
It's currently unknown when the international public can hope to see KitKat grace the slim-lines of their Ascend P6s, though we should hope not too long after.

When will Samsung announce their Android 4.4 up-gradation plans??? :-(
2. Shatter (Posts: 2031; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Sometime next year most likely. It is a large update so expect even longer delays than 4.3 with some new bugs because poor quality control.
3. jan25 (Posts: 418; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
i won't be surprised if they decide to delay it until Kitkat makes the first appearance on the Galaxy S5.
4. lallolu (Posts: 250; Member since: 18 Sep 2012)
That is Samsung way of doing things.
5. mturby (unregistered)
yup! that s samsungs way. thanks samsung for updating your phones so fast. nextime will get the nexus line so i dont have to wait on u. screw u samsung!.
6. ianbbaa (Posts: 228; Member since: 20 Mar 2013)
Not a fan but at least Samsung updates older models as well - (sometimes buggy as hell like 4.1.2 on my Note1 so i had to sell it)
S2 got 4.1.2 - others older "flagships" stayed on ICS
S3 - got 4.3 already - while direct competitiors to that years "flagship" Sony X_S, HTC One X, LG something are dead for them if on 4.1.2
S4 - is on 4.3 like S3 but probably will get it in Spring after S5 launch.

Roth Change Strategy Can Lower Your Tax Bill
Perhaps that rate isn't low enough for you, though. Maybe you need to ensure that the tax rate is even lower, say, 15% or less. Following the example, you'd need to see an increase of 66% or more in your holdings, which would equate to a 33% move in the market (for your leveraged holdings, one way or the other). If the market doesn't move in the amount you hoped, you can just recharacterize the entire conversion, nothing lost.
You probably want to pull your "winnings" off the table and put the remaining Roth IRA into a safe (or safer) investment than the leveraged investments chosen before, such as a balanced fund or even straight bonds.
Now you can pull the same maneuver in the following year with whatever is left in the traditional IRA, splitting it just as before. Over time you should wind up with a significant Roth IRA with a lower tax cost.
This is not a huge payoff strategy -- you'll be losing money in your traditional IRA holdings each year, guaranteed. Your net position would be the same (minus the tax).After the first year of the example, assuming a 20% gain you'd have $60,000 in the Roth and $40,000 in the traditional IRA, having paid $12,500 in tax. Second year, same result and you'd have $84,000 in the Roth and $16,000 in the traditional IRA, paying $5,000 more in tax. Third year, again the same 20% gain resulting in a total of $93,600 in the Roth, $6,400 in the trad, paying $2,000 in tax. And so on, until the amount gets too small to work with any more. The end result is that all of this tallies up to the same $100,000 you started with, having paid tax of just less than $21,000 versus the original $25,000 you would have paid. Holding out for a higher return from the strategy would yield a lower tax rate overall. >To submit a news tip, email: email@example.com.

City police investigate several shootings
Updated On: Jun 18 2013 08:51:45 AM EDT
Police are investigating several shootings, including a fatal one, in Baltimore.
Police said they found two men suffering gunshot wounds in the 1100 block of North Bentalou Street around 11:45 p.m. Monday.
Less than 10 minutes before that, officers responded to another shooting in the 2600 block of Grogan Avenue.
Officers found a man with a gunshot wound to his chest. He later died.
That's the same block where police are investigating another double shooting that happened just before 6 p.m.
Police said an unidentified man was shot in the arm. Investigators said a short time later, a second shooting victim arrived at a nearby hospital seeking treatment of a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
There's no word yet if any of these shootings are connected.

Cities rush to train lifeguard recruits so pools can open for summer
Lifeguard Deanna Nickerson of Candia monitors swimmers at Livingston Pool in Manchester on opening day Tuesday. (MICHAEL COUSINEAU/UNION LEADER)
Vachon suspects the lifeguard certification cost of $275 kept some people from applying this year. The city is offering to pay half the cost if the lifeguard stays the whole season. The city is paying lifeguards $13.70 an hour.
A shortage of a dozen lifeguards in Concord meant the Merrill, Kimball and Garrison pools opened Monday rather than Saturday after new recruits gained their certification, she said.
Amy Bassett, public information officer at the New Hampshire Division of Parks and Recreation, said lifeguards work at about a dozen state parks. There were no delayed openings, but there remained lifeguard openings at a handful of parks, including at Hampton Beach.
City officials closed Crystal Lake beach to swimming on Tuesday, after elevated levels of E.coli bacteria were found during routine sampling, the Manchester Health Department said.
Once levels drop to acceptable, the city will reopen the beach, officials said.

Sometimes, be it in a realistic universe or in a World of Badass, there are actions that are deemed ridiculously dangerous, totally stupid or downright impossible to pull off. Nothing to be really proud of in any case. The characters talk about such actions and, soon enough, Alice will wonder out loud (probably sniggering) − "Who Would Be Stupid Enough to do that?" What she doesn't know is that Bob, to or in presence of whom she said it, actually did the stupid thing in question. Whether he succeeded or failed miserably, he will either not answer anything or pretend to agree with Alice with an embarrassed expression; he may even be personally proud of it. If the viewer knows it, A Smile Ensues: it's a form of Continuity Nod. What makes this trope funny is the fact that Alice says it totally innocently, without any clue she is mocking someone within hearing range. Hence the Oblivious Mockery. In some cases, Bob may reveal out-loud that he did said action, and may or may not try to justify himself. Basically, this follows this kind of pattern:
Alice: Did you know some people actually try to cook the rice without adding water first?
Bob: Oh come on, that's a urban legend, nobody can be that clueless and incompetent!�Right, Carol?
Carol: Er� yeah, totally, I can't imagine anyone doing that� ahahaha� hem�Can overlap with an in-universe Old Shame. Compare Oblivious Guilt Slinging, Insult Friendly Fire and I Resemble That Remark. Contrast Noodle Incident, where the characters vaguely talk about an event they know but the viewer doesn't. Contrast and compare Who Would Be Stupid Enough, when Alice tempts fate and is proven right away that someone is stupid enough, and Schmuck Bait. The inverse trope is Right Behind Me, when Alice talks dirty about Bob without knowing he's, well, right behind her. Compare I'm Standing Right Here, where the person is still right there, but the mockery is less oblivious.

The major differences between DOTA and LoL
By plague102 19 Comments
Please Note
Ok first I would like to keep the comments civil as this is not meant to stir up arguments about which game is better and takes more skill. (Though I know it is hard to resist)
Second I'm sure there are many people who don't know the differences between LoL, HON, and DOTA, so I went out and found a pretty decent writeup of the major differences between LoL and DOTA. I will admit that I don't really play HON so if people know the MAJOR differences between HON and DOTA please leave those in the comments.
Thirdly some of these maybe outdated as LOL, HON, and DOTA frequently patch.
I hope this is informative to people.
Major Differences between LOL and DOTA
- Champion selection is limited to the "free to play" champions (which are rotated on a weekly basis) or the ones you have purchased using in game points (Influence points) or real life money (converted into Riot points).
- Maximum level is 18. With the exception of (as of writing this) 2 champions, Udyr and Karma, this gives your Q, W, and E skills 5 levels, and your R ultimate 3 levels. For Udyr, as he has no true ult, but rather 4 basic skills, you could have a 5 5 5 3 setup, or a 5 5 4 4 setup, or any combination therein. For Karma, her ult is given at level 1 and never levels up, giving her Q, W and E skills 6 levels each.
- No denying. This includes towers as well as creeps/minions. You can still deny by keeping enemy champions out of the kill radius / prevent them from last hitting, but there is no "auto-attack your own minions" to deny.
- No gold loss on death.
- Towers hit a lot harder and do more damage to you the longer they've been hitting you, making early tower dives a lot riskier and making towers much safer to defend against.
- You can only kill the enemy base/nexus by killing an entire lanes towers then its inhibitor then subsequently the 2 nexus towers before destroying the nexus other lanes towers do not need to be destoyed.
- The ranged/melee barracks have been merged into a single building called an inhibitor, and instead of bolstering the melee/ranged minions in that lane when destroyed, it instead makes a single, powerful melee unit spawn with every wave. Inhibitors respawn over time.
- There are far fewer "active" items (click to use) and the focus is more on increasing your passive stats.
- Every champion has a passive ability that is somewhat integral to their playstyle or their character flavor. These passives are always active and require no skill points. For example, the champion Zilean increases all allies' experience gain by 8% always. A more active example would be the character LeBlanc, who spawns a mirror image whenever she drops below 40% HP (occuring at most once per minute).
- There is a 3v3 as well as a 5v5 map, meaning there are two separate meta-games to identify (though most people play 5v5).
- Some of the larger neutral creeps provide passive buffs that provide a visual effect as well as a bonus to attributes. For example, the Golem buff provides mana/energy regeneration and cool down reduction.
- There is a large neutral creep called the dragon that provides teamwide gold and experience. This is often contested through the mid-late game and is a prime target for jungler champions to kill.
- The "boss" neutral creep (Baron Nashtor) does not provide an item (like Token of Life), but rather teamwide gold/exp and a passive buff that greatly increases health/mana/energy regen as well as additional attack damage and ability power.
- You get to choose 2 additional "Summoner Abilities" that are universal regardless of what champion you pick. Some examples of these are Ghost (temporary speed boost and unitwalking), Flash (short range teleport), Ignite (scaling damage with a DoT and reduced healing/regen component), and Clairvoyance (short cooldown, small radius map reveal). There are others too, of course.
- No river runes.
- You may passively increase your champions' stats by purchasing "Runes" outside of the actual in-game interface. These runes are purchased using points you earn by playing games (winning or losing).
- Additionally, you may increase your champions stats / enhance your "Summoner Abilities" / provide passive effects through the mastery system. The mastery system is a simplified version of a talent tree (akin to Diablo 2, World of Warcraft, etc.) with points being earned as you level your summoner (your account), which is done by simply playing games.
- Ability to return to base (free, no need to buy it, no item slot taken, no cooldown)
- Improved juking - instead of sneaky paths between trees there is "brush" (bushes/grass) system - brush blocks line of sight of those outside it and provides bonuses to some champions/heroes
- Map is symmetrical with the exception of the placement of the Dragon and Baron "boss" creeps.
- Shields system - damage shields are dynamically displayed as a gray extension of the healthbars. Purple extensions indicate magic-only shields.
- It's possible to bind smartcasts (cast instantly on keypress on the area the cursor is hovering over, not on an additional mouse click)
- No secret shops or outposts. All items are purchased at the base shop.
- The Shop's combination items are displayed in a tree, making it easy to see which items combine into what.
- There exists no buy-backs. What this means is that once your champion is dead you must wait out the full length of the death timer (which increases based on champion level), whereas in DOTA one could spend money to immediately bring their champion back to life, thus skipping the death timer.

Banks are notorious for charging fees, but now they may be on the other side paying fees themselves.
That's if President Obama gets his way.
An administration official said the president is weighing options on how to get money back from big banks who took part in the bailout.
One idea on the table is taxing the banks. A new fee would help pay down the federal deficit.
The idea comes as Wall Street banks hand out near-record bonuses.
"If you don't pay them for their performance, you'll lose them. It's much like professional athletes and movie stars, " Goldman Sachs Board Member Bill George said.
Congress is set to question four top bank executives Wednesday on what caused the financial collapse.

Pros: Fabulous engine power, great handling, wonderful options including the navagational system. Cons: I am fearful that transmission will fail and I will be stranded. The Bottom Line: I do not recommend this car because of the inability of Honda to solve the transmission problem.

A Delaware bridge that carries part of a major East Coast transportation artery has been closed indefinitely after several support columns shifted nearly two feet out alignment.
The Delaware Department of Transportation announced an emergency closure Monday (June 2) of the six-lane Interstate 495 bridge that carries 90,000 vehicles daily over the Christina River in Wilmington.
The state's Transportation Secretary, Shailen Bhatt, told reporters that the closure was "going to be a pretty significant traffic event for the Northeast region."
After a preliminary analysis, engineers said the bridge was not at risk of collapsing, adding that while the bridge could hold its own weight, it could exceed capacity under a full traffic load.
The bridge that carries I-495 over the Christina River in Wilmington, DE, is closed indefinitely while crews try to figure out why four pairs of support columns shifted.
The 4,800-foot-long structure, identified as Bridge 1-813, was built in 1974 and features a concrete deck on steel beams. The bridge was last inspected in October 2012, and showed no deficiencies, according to DelDOT.
'Serious Situation'
Officials said four of the 37 pairs of vertical reinforced concrete columns that support the bridge were leaning; the worst is 4 percent out of its vertical alignment.
The shifting columns have also caused the concrete pier caps to move, resulting in a height difference of about one foot between the bridge deck's barrier walls.
"This is a very serious situation that we're glad we caught in time," Bhatt said.
Bhatt said he has assembled a team of experts from DelDOT, the Federal Highway Administration, engineering consulting firms, and the University of Delaware to investigate, monitor and determine the next steps.
Inconclusive Monitoring
Tilt monitors were installed Monday evening to measure any additional movement, but data collected from the sensors over a 12-hour period were inconclusive, DelDOT said Tuesday (June 3).
DelDOT's contractor, AECOM, is working with the agency's bridge design consultant and geotechnical experts to figure out possible reasons for the bridge's movement.
So far, engineers have floated two possible sauses: settling and compacting of soft soils under the bridge, or corrosion of steel pilings 140 to 160 feet below the surface.
Pennoni Associates has been inspecting the overall bridge, and no other distress to the structure has been found, DelDOT said.
Calls Come In
DelDOT received a report late Friday (May 30) about an anomaly with a column and sent an inspection crew Monday morning. According to the Associated Press, the Friday call came from an engineering firm working on an unrelated project.
"It didn't come to us as like an emergency call," Bhatt said, explaining why a crew wasn't sent out until Monday.
According to ABCNews.go.com, the call came from two employees of a private geoscience consulting company who first noticed cracking in the soil around a large dirt pile near the leaning columns.
Engineers are trying to determine if the dirt pile could be related to the bridge shifting.
"We don't know what the effect of that weight is," Bhatt said. Officials are also unsure where the dirt came from and how long it has been there.
"This is a very serious situation that we're glad we caught in time," said the state's Transportation Secretary, Shailen Bhatt.
A DelDOT equipment operator also sent a notification Monday morning after noticing the concrete barrier on the road surface shifting.
"When we got the appropriate information that there was a significant event going on, we closed the bridge out of an abundance of caution," Bhatt said, according to DelawareOnline.com.
Bracing for Stability
The transportation agency and AECOM are now designing a temporary brace, including shoring up and leveling the deck.
"Once we feel the structure is stable and able to hold a live load, then, and only then, can we open it to traffic," DelDOT's chief engineer, Robert McCleary, told DelawareOnline.com
Bhatt said DelDOT was working with FHWA to determine if the bridge was eligible for federal emergency relief funding.

City Of Mesquite, Texas, Chooses Incode® And Munis® Applications From Tyler Technologies
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) today announced that the city of Mesquite, Texas, chose its Incode ® court case management and Munis ® enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions to replace multiple standalone information systems, and to create efficiencies across the city's 16 departments. The agreement includes related professional services, training and support.
The city chose Tyler's integrated ERP and court case management solutions for their ease of use, broader functionality and deeper reporting capabilities, and expects to improve overall functionality and increase the number of users that interact with the systems. Incode and Munis are contemporary, long-term solutions for the city, which currently uses aging applications that in many cases are no longer supported by their providers.
The city will rely on Munis to produce easy-to-read and timely financial reports and eliminate poor integration between multiple financial systems that often result in duplicate data entry and redundant or irretrievable data. Munis will also replace the city's core financial accounting system whose limited abilities have been outgrown by the city's information needs.
Tyler's single-vendor solution enables the city of Mesquite to interface existing applications with Munis and Incode, thereby increasing efficiency, reducing data entry and lessening the risk of human error."Tyler is proud to partner with the city of Mesquite and deliver exactly the kind of broad ERP functionality that was central to the city's decision-making process," said Richard E. Peterson Jr., president of Tyler's ERP & School Division. "With Munis, the city will have a powerful, centralized financial system that helps streamline workflow while making it easier for employees to find, process, report and share financial information with the city's constituents." "Incode is a proven partner to more than 450 courts in Texas and we believe that meant a lot during the selection process," said Brett Cate, president of Tyler's Local Government Division. "We look forward to delivering our court case management system to the city of Mesquite, and to helping the city, its courts and citizens quickly benefit from the productivity gains that come from using Incode."

Oh cool thanks Tony!
I love Dragons and Castles too!
Good stuff
Hey Tony!
How are doing today?
Hope you get all caught up at work.
Miss seeing you on the site.
How was work today?
Hope you aren't too worn out.
Just hope you are doing well.
oh hey Tony - I don't doubt your story - it sounds wonderful about Ireland and all. I just know some Wiccans and Pagans and they are really big on Samhain this time of year. I would love to hear more - sounds really nice.
Sorry you have so much work to do. Hope you get it all caught up there.
Rest well my friend!
Hey Tony!
I liked your Samhain black cat and moon picture so much that I added it to my webpage. YAY
I just adored it.
Hope you are doing ok.
Haven't heard from you in a while it seems.
Have a great weekend
Hey Tony I loved that hummingbird picture you posted!
Are you a member of my birds group? Maybe you'd like to post it there too.
Hey, Tony. Happen to see my piece in your group on Leonard Bernstein and the Young People's concerts he used to present? Thought it might be worth your time (and trying to pony up a bit of interest, too, admittedly!).
Welcome to the busy group "Origins."
Okay Tony, I finally figured-out where to respond! You're too kind! I'm happy to be friends with you! We are actually only an hour and a half apart (I'm in Rockford.)~ Melinda
