Almost 5,000 Empire District Electric customers lost service overnight due to some strong storms that pushed through the Four States region. Empire's Julie Maus tells News Talk KZRG when we can expect to see the lights come back on:
"Linemen hope to have most of the repair work completed by noon today; there may be some smaller areas that will see outages continue into this afternoon, but they'll keep at it."
Maus says the damage is "widespread" throughout Empire's service areas in Southeast Kansas and Southwest Missouri.
Update: 3:35pm: Empire's Julie Maus says some 1150 customers are still without power this afternoon. They're in the southwest Joplin, Redings Mill and Duquesne areas. Maus says at the peak of the storm, almost 7000 Empire customers were without power.

We are a small brewpub passionate about creating quality craft beer and food, enjoying it with others, and impacting our community. Read more
We are a small brewpub passionate about creating quality craft beer and food, enjoying it with others, and impacting our community.
About this project
With the startup of this new brewpub, we believe that we are getting the opportunity to take two things that we love, people and good beer, and bring them together to create a business that will not only be a great addition to the many awesome craft breweries in San Diego County, but also provide for our family and the employees that will join us. As a result of being laid off, home brewing took on an entirely new meaning, and what started out as a, "Wouldn't that be cool to do someday?" conversation, has slowly turned into a reality. Yes, sometimes we have to pinch ourselves to see if this is really happening. Yep. It's real. Well, almost real. And that's where you come in.
We are thrilled to be located in the heart of historic downtown Escondido. Our building dates back to the early 1900's, and if you are a lover of all things old like we are, it just adds to the buzz of it all. Along with the charm comes an abundance of improvements. Currently the space is completely empty. We are literally building this brew pub from the ground up. That means we will be needing to purchase everything from lighting fixtures, custom bar, brew house, cold boxes, kitchen equipment, seating, kegs, glassware, not to mention the construction, plumbing and electrical work required to bring this building up to a standard that can accommodate the needs of a small brewery and restaurant.
Our goal is to raise at least $40,000 to help us with some of the expenses already mentioned. Truthfully, we will need more than this, but if you're not familiar with the way kickstarter works, it's an all or nothing deal! That means that we must make our goal or we don't receive anything at all. We can go over our goal, but not under it. And just in case you're wondering, your credit card information is securely handled by Amazon and will not be charged until after our goal is reached. We can't do this without your help.
As a way of acknowledging the generosity of those who have given to help make our dream a reality, we want to commit up front to give back a percentage of our profits to help serve and improve our local community. Whether it's an individual in need, a school project that needs funding, or a park that needs sprucing up, we want to find ways to help make Escondido and the surrounding area a better place to live. And for you, our supporters, well let's just say we're about to make your day seem a little brighter. We've got everything from T-shirts, stemmed glassware, exclusive growlers, tickets to our VIP celebration, and more to show our gratitude to you. Check out our rewards to the right. We hope you are as excited about this venture as we are. Please tell your friends and get the word out about Plan 9 Alehouse! We can't wait to celebrate our success over a pint with you!
Please help us make Plan 9 Alehouse a reality, and follow these easy steps:
1. CREATE a Kickstarter account. It's simple; all it takes is an email and a password.
2. SIGN IN at Amazon.com - if you already have an account, you're all set. If not, no worries, it is easy to set-up as well.
3. PLEDGE at whatever level you like! Your card will only be charged should we reach our full goal.
4. SHARE this with your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and whoever else crosses your path! Let everyone know you are a backer for Plan 9 Alehouse.
And don't forget to follow us on these here interwebs:

Glad you asked! As for our own beer brewed on site, we are planning on some typical American & European styles, with our own unique spin.
We believe our calling is to create beer with character and depth using the simplest and purest means.
We will strive to use unconventional ingredients, and will proudly state what we put into our beer and food.
We are inspired by those in the brewing community who are pushing the limits of what "beer" is, and can be. That being said, several of our beers will be barrel-aged, for special releases, etc.
Why yes, we will. In addition to our own beer, we will offer many of the fine examples of craft beer being produced in San Diego. There are many, many great offerings throughout the region. It will be easy to put together a beer menu.
Also, we plan on offering potentially a gluten-free beer, as well as the occasional bottle of wine. We also will be producing our very own root beer, lemonade, and other fun sodas/juices for the "under 21 crowd" as well as fresh & local coffee.
Glad you asked. Our menu options will be uniquely paired with various beers available at the brewpub. The marriage of beer and food is a wonderful thing, and we plan on celebrating that blessed union often. Many of our offerings will be familiar, but uniquely spun with our character. We believe in flavorful, local, fresh, and healthy food. We are sourcing everything locally.
And yes, we will have a kids menu.

@saraq90 - My doctor suggested I take vitamin D supplements as well and I found one very important piece to taking the vitamin D -
You still have to go outside! Going outside promotes your body and the all so important vitamin D. I had my vitamin D tested and it was still low after taking the supplement for months. That's when I received the going outside for vitamin D tip.
I see many calcium & vitamin d combinations, and now I get why from the article - it helps promote calcium absorption. I, like you, have the take the chewables of calcium; but I have also heard calcium gluconate liquid might be the way to go.
But I can honestly say, I don't remember where I heard that - if it was an advertisement or a health article somewhere. So I would do some more research before diving in, because it can be a bit more expensive than the calcium and vitamin D combo chewable supplements.

Taking long trip with baby, can you help me? :)
My husband and I are considering taking a vacation with some friends this May, probably a 7-10 day trip sometime during the last two weeks of May. My baby, Logan, will be six months old on May 7th. We will be driving from NE to San Antonio, and then on to Corpus Christi TX. The distance in hours from here to San Antonio is about 14 hours. We may stop in Oklahoma City to visit the memorial and maybe stay there. The details aren't definite. My friends have a minivan that seats 7. There would be seven of us...4 adults, our baby, and their two daughters. We have all ridden in there together before so I know we fit. However, I was thinking that due to space maybe my husband and I would drive separately so we all have more room. We can take turns riding wherever. For a while the guys can have the car while us ladies and the kids/baby ride in the van. Not sure. Tell me what you think about that part..one car or two? My real question is just about traveling with a baby that age. I know many people have done it, my cousin had a baby the day before me and when he was 7 weeks she drove from Kentucky to Nebraska, stayed here for a while, then drove to Arizona, and then back to Kentucky...in a car also with her husband and 19 month old daughter. So I know it can be done, but I just don't want to lose my mind doing it. Have any of you traveled with a six month old? What are they doing at that age? Will he be okay in the car seat that long? I mean I know for the sake of him, and the other little girls (ages 4 and 5) we will need frequent breaks. Will it be a huge hassle? Is it worth it? We really want this vacation, but we also want it to be enjoyable? Also for any of you in TX is the heat unbearable in May? I have been there many times, but always in October or March. Please give me ANY suggestions and advice that you think might help us make some important decisions about this trip. Thanks so much.
I would do 2 cars b/c with 7 people for that long, you're going to have a lot of luggage plus stroller, carseat, etc. I took DD on plane at 2 months but have no idea how well a long car ride for 6 mo. would be. Seems easier when they're younger as they sleep more. My DD is 7 mo. and no longer enjoys even short car rides.
Having an extra car gives a lot more options. It may or may not be 'needed' but it can still give people a sense of relief if that is ever needed. If not relief exactly, it's sometimes nice to break the monotony of long rides/drives by switching vehicles too.
6 month olds usually require some adult attention. They'll need some talking to or singing to, and some familiarity to orient themselves. They might or might not get carsick (usually those kinds of problems show up later though if they occur). If they get pushed past their personal point of endurance though, they will cry and need more intensive soothing. Some of that can be avoided by having an assigned adult sort of monitor the baby's apparent stress level.
Basics would be some way to isolate and travel with (if necessary) dirty diapers until the next stop. Teething, and basic infant pain relief supplies. Sunscreens for infants or extremely sensitive skin, and hats and/or baby sunglasses or sun shades. Also, for the adults take at least one special comfort indulgence. That can help extend the adult's endurance if that's needed. It is sometimes hard for 4 and 5 year old verbal developing children on long car trips and they will need to be verbal and probably to take play breaks (they should have activity-related toys like frisbees or jump ropes or balls; anything that will help them to get a little physical exercise --the adults might be able to benefit from their own exercise too if possible).
It's more of a hassle than travelling as a single adult probably, and maybe even than travelling as a couple of adults sharing a relationship, but it's probably worth it. The trick to not losing one's mind is to recognize the symptoms of impending problems and to act proactively to take relaxation steps or to improve the problematic situation. (Allow everyone to be at the age and stage they are, and to have the personalities, thoughts and feelings they all have naturally (including yourself). Then, try to work with everyone as they are, and not how they 'should' be and things should be enjoyable.)
Wherever I go my bag has the following - changing stuff, fresh clothes, food and spoons, cartons milk - if you're not breastfeeding, bottles and a sip-cup, bottle of water for sip cup, bibs, toys, pain relief, teethers.
We went on an 8 hour trip when mine was about 7 or 8 months old and it was fine.
Take a stop every couple of hours unless they're asleep when you can just keep driving :). It's good for them to get out of the child seat to stretch their legs and have a wander.
Take some music with you and have singalongs.
I agree with the others as well - 2 cars would be best.

Guv: End Social Promotion
by Melissa Bailey | Oct 16, 2012 1:53 pm
(8) Comments | Commenting has been closed | E-mail the Author
Posted to: Schools, School Reform
When Gov. Dannel P. Malloy popped by New Haven Tuesday to check out an experiment in how kids get through high school, he saw a germ of an idea he'd like to take statewide.
Malloy paid a visit Tuesday morning to High School in the Community (HSC), a 240-student magnet school on Water Street that's reinventing itself under new management by the local teachers union.
Malloy was checking in on a new investment he's made: The state chose HSC as one of the first four schools in the "Commissioner's Network." The schools get extra guidance, scrutiny and money from the state in exchange for agreeing to launch certain reforms. The state has released an extra $1.5 million to help HSC this year; another half-million dollars are on the way to repair the school building and boost social services.
In a meeting in the school library, Malloy heard from school and union staff about the plans for the state money.
One of the most "groundbreaking" experiments, he said, is the school's effort to end social promotion.
As part of its turnaround, HSC is getting rid of the "factory assembly line" of high school. First-year students entered a new world in which they aren't called "freshmen" anymore—they will stay at the "foundation" level of learning until they prove they have the skills to move up to the next year.
In the new system, building leader (aka "principal") Erik Good (pictured) explained, kids could take three, five or six years to finish high school—as long as it takes to master the material. Kids can no longer scrape through high school with D minuses.
HSC is the first public school in the state to make the jump to the new system, called competency-based learning, according to Larry Schaefer, a senior staff associate with Connecticut Association Public School Superintendents (CAPSS), which has been training Connecticut schools in how to implement the method.
Between half and three-quarters of classes, including all first-year classes, have implemented the new system at HSC in this pilot year, Good said.
After a tour of two classrooms, Malloy applauded HSC for making the switch. Doing so "takes a lot of bravery," he said.
Proving mastery of skills is "very important," Malloy said, as the state shifts to a new Common Core State Standards, by which kids will be tested on their understanding of a new, national curriculum.
"We've got to get away from the concept of [getting promoted based on] time in seats," Malloy said. "That's not a measurement of success. It's a measurement of time."
Malloy was asked if he aims to replicate the method across the state.
"Yes," he replied. "Ultimately, we're going to have to get to that at the state level. We absolutely have to get away from the concept that we socially promote."
Malloy clarified that he wasn't accusing any district of pushing kids through high school; he means that the state should start measuring "the understanding of the concept" instead of "measuring time" spent in high school.
The $1.5 million has paid for HSC to hire teacher Chris Kafoglis from Wilbur Cross High School as a new "academic coordinator"; and create a new position for magnet resource coordinator. The school plans to hire a parent liaison to tackle its truancy rate: Last year, four in 10 HSC students were "chronically absent," which means they missed at least 10 percent of school.
HSC is on tap to receive another $100,000 for "wraparound services," according to state education Commissioner Stefan Pryor. The money will pay for the school to hire a full-time social worker. The state has earmarked another $497,000 for capital improvements at HSC; the money should be approved by the state bonding commission by early January, according to Pryor.
HSC was last renovated under Mayor John Daniels' administration, before Mayor John DeStefano's effort to rebuild or renovate every city school, according to DeStefano.
Pryor said he noticed the building has deteriorated since he did his student teaching there in the mid-1990s. "The level of upkeep is not sufficient," he said.
Building Leader Good said he suspects the quality of the building was a big factor in one category of student feedback on school surveys: only 40 percent of students said they care about the school. Good said after the $43 million new Metropolitan Business Academy opened in 2010, students began to see their "sense of importance" slip in comparison.
"This building isn't terrible, but it doesn't compare," Good said. "We really want the kids to start feeling like there's an investment in the way the building looks."
Asked about the condition of the building, Malloy downplayed the issue.
Malloy noted that he just came back from China. "People in China would literally die to have a building like this," he said.
"There's almost no correlation of the quality of the building" and learning outcomes, Malloy added. His statement directly contradicted an argument DeStefano has made for years, to justify his $1.5 billion school rebuilding project. DeStefano recently touted a study by Yale researchers that claimed to support his argument.
HSC was the first of two Commissioner's Network schools Malloy planned to visit Tuesday.
He headed out the door of HSC around 11 a.m. and got into his Lincoln Towncar, which was illegally parked in the fire lane outside the school for 90 minutes he spent at the school.
This time, unlike during an unlucky visit to the Q Club last year, Malloy didn't get a parking ticket.
Asked why his car was parked in the fire lane, Malloy said, "I don't know. I don't park the car."
His driver said the car had to be close to the school in case Malloy had to make a quick getaway.
Asked for comment, Malloy spokesman Andrew Doba replied, "We don't comment on the governor's security protocols."

I can't believe that where the Governor parked is given any semblance of a headline on the front page of the NHI. It is tabloid-esque, to have that as a highlight of an article that talks about a serious and important experiment in school operations. Good for HSC, I hope all the attention comes to a positive outcome.

Malloy's response is typically arrogant and clearly he doesn't believe the rules apply to him. Kind of reminds of his wife, but he's not driving a shxxy car." As for the driver? He may have to make a fast getaway, well, this fits in with the heightened security, a $300K taxpayer expense and fast get away too. Yeah right.

Malloy: Proving mastery of skills is "very important"… "We've got to get away from the concept of [getting promoted based on] time in seats…These are steps mostly seen in private schools and are now turning to our public schools as new beginnings and important experiments for our districts". It's taken the public school system HOW MANY YEARS and how many wasted generations to figure this out?! Put your tax dollars in the form of vouchers that a parent/guardian can apply to the school of their choice and EVERY public school would quickly make this kind of genuine reform. Why? By ending their monopoly and introducing competition. Wayne Winsley [Rosa DeLauro's opponent] understands this, having grown up in poverty and gone through the Cleveland public school wasteland—which is why he is a big proponent of vouchers. DeLauro? Many, many, many decades ago HER parents sent her to private Catholic schools. So her ideas about education—like all of her ideas—are based on "theory" rather than life experience. "Last year, four in 10 HSC students were 'chronically absent'… only 40 percent of students said they care about the school". Obviously the students themselves would prefer a better choice! "'There's almost no correlation of the quality of the building' and learning outcomes, Malloy added." Now THERE'S something on which Malloy and I can agree wholeheartedly! "His driver said the car had to be close to the school in case Malloy had to make a quick getaway." He needn't have worried: angry taxpayers weren't given a heads-up about his visit.

PH, I wholeheartedly agree with your comment. Ending the article by pointing out where Malloy's driver parked the car continues to perpetuate the very culture that we are trying to change. What HIC is putting in place might turn out to be a very successful initiative and we cannot afford to undermine it by adding juicy bits a` la Entertainment Tonight. New Haven Promise is failing (let's talk about that). We need to give all our kids, not just the wealthy ones, access to good, solid education…

Thank you for covering an important news story on the continued efforts to improve our children's education.
You do a disservice to the important work that this school is doing as well as your own publication by adding in this irrelevant note on where the Governors car was parked.

I actually think it is relevant where the governor parks. Like with the NHPD, the Governor's attitude that he can park anywhere because he is above the law is troubling. He is the top law enforcement official of the state and he should be setting an example, not breaking laws. (And I actually like the governor otherwise).

Monday, November 25th, 2013
There is a litany of national news service articles this week, covering the full political spectrum, highlighted concerns expressed by physicians in New York State regarding unfair treatment by health insurance companies offering coverage in New York's Health Insurance Exchange.
Articles appeared in:
· US News & World Report and
· Kaiser Health News highlighting the challenges patients may face in New York's Health Insurance
Exchange as a result of a number of concerns identified through the preliminary results ofMSSNY
survey gauging physician experiences with health insurance companies offering coverage through
New York's Health Insurance Exchange.
The problems with health insurers identified in the MSSNY survey include failure to communicate whether a physician is part of an Exchange plan, failure to provide information regarding reimbursement for providing needed patient care and, in many cases, offering fees that, generally speaking, are significantly below existing commercial coverage. MSSNY continues to regularly communicate with top staff at the New York Exchange to convey these concerns. Last week's MSSNY's Advocacy Matters program featured top staff of the New York Health Insurance Exchange describing the roll-out of the Exchange in New York, including responding to many physicians' questions. To watch a recording of this webinar, click here.
We also continue to urge physicians to complete the survey so that it is more representative of physician experiences statewide. If you have not already done so, we urge you to please complete the survey here.
We Need to Hear from You
MSSNY has contacted the NYS Department of Health regarding complaints of some physicians that they are listed as a participating physician in a health plan exchange network, but were not provided any written notice by the health plan that gave prior notification of such participation requirement, or the terms and conditions of such participation, including but not limited to, the fee schedule applicable to the exchange product. The NYS Department of Health has asked MSSNY to provide specific examples of physicians who believe that the health plan failed to provide prior written notice of participation in the exchange product. If a physician is interested in having the DOH investigate the specifics, the doctor should send an email to Regina McNally, VP of Socio-Medical Economics at firstname.lastname@example.com The email should identify the plan name and identify whether or not they have any contract with the specific insurer.

Posted in AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, HEALTH INSURER UPDATES, NATIONAL HEALTHCARE NEWS | No Comments »
Friday, August 16th, 2013
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) and New York State Law require that starting January 1, 2014, all health insurance plans include a core set of health services (known as essential health benefits) and more cost-sharing choices. While EmblemHealth's plans already offer many of these benefits, we will be replacing our current products with new, fully ACA-compliant plans.
On December 31, 2013, all of EmblemHealth's current small group, sole proprietor and individual plans will be discontinued. As of January 1, 2014, EmblemHealth will offer new small group and individual plans that will meet the ACA requirements.
Notifying Small Groups and Subscribers
We are mailing letters announcing the discontinuance to affected small groups, small group subscribers, and sole proprietors about 90 days before the effective date. This will provide ample time for your clients to consider their options in the marketplace.
Sole Proprietor
Under the ACA, when a business is owned only by an individual or an individual and his or her spouse, these individuals are not considered "employees" and the benefit plan is not considered a group health plan. As of January 1, 2014, these individuals will no longer be able to purchase group coverage and will need to purchase individual coverage.
If you have questions about the plan discontinuance, please contact your EmblemHealth representative.
More Information
Next month, we will be sending you more details about the discontinuance and news about our ACA- compliant products.

It is funny how some typical Vika haters have developed all sorts of crazy theories about her withdrawal like she just wanted to remain undefeated. I think the main reason for her late withdrawal was probably all sorts of promotional duties that local organizers and the WTA wanted her to do.
As we all know that Serena Williams has created some rules of her own for the WTA tour, and I think Vika also likes to play by her own rules like a smart player does.
Yes would be nicer to hear peoples real opinion, not just taking every chance to throw dirt around. Like she would be afraid of playing Wozniacki or Keys. Or why on earth she wouldn't be allowed to be injured like any other player. (Or why she can't take an injury break).
To balance it out, perhaps the wrong thread for this, but two things i think she could benefit of doing different:
Speed up a bit after entering the court, meeting up at the coin toss faster. And try to only stop up the server when it is really needed.
Hopefully that is ok to say in here.

(KMOV.com) -- Illinois state racing officials are investigating whether jockeys conspired to throw a race to let a 70-year-old rider potentially make history at Fairmount Park on Tuesday.
At issue was whether riders in the July 23 race at the park near Collinsville tried to let R.A. "Cowboy" Jones win the race, making him the first known rider to win a thoroughbred race in seven different decades. Jones ended up finishing second, atop My Kentucky Breeze.
Uriel Lopez won the race aboard Ola D., outdistancing Jones by nearly two lengths.
Patrick Bovenzi is an Illinois state steward investigating the matter. He says everything is being reviewed.
It's not immediately clear how long the probe may take.
The park says in a statement the jockeys are independent contractors unaffiliated with the track.
Fairmount has not commented officially on the investigation.

Inmates in Chile's prisons are crammed together and potable water is scarce.
The situation has dragged on for decades. In 2001, then-President Ricardo Lagos promised to build 10 new prisons. Today, six of the 10 are operational, but they've done little to reduce overcrowding.
Meanwhile, judicial reform over the past decade, intended to speed up the criminal process and ensure the rights of defendants, ended up multiplying the prison population.
"Chile's prisons are a human waste dump. No one cares about these people. Judges sentence them and don't care where they are locked up. Public defense attorneys forget about them after trial, and Congress keeps approving new laws to create new crimes and increase sentences," said Congressman Hugo Gutierrez, a former human rights lawyer who was able to enter the prison right after the fire.
Building new jails and improving conditions in existing ones "does not solve the crisis," according to the Human Rights Institute. More rehabilitation, effective alternatives to incarceration and more opportunities for work are the key, the group says. Now, only 1.21 percent of the prison population has access to the prison system's study and work centers, according to the prison police body, Gendarmeria.
However, President Sebastian Pinera will not back down from his "zero-tolerance" approach to crime and his pledge to "put a lock on the revolving door" in the prison system, which has brought cheers from a large part of the population whose main concern is crime, according to a recent Latinobarometro survey.
"We will not weaken our frontal and determined fight against crime," Pinera said days after the fire. "But at the same time, we are fully aware that we need to improve the living conditions of those Chileans who are deprived of freedom."
Immediately after the fire, Pinera tasked the Justice Ministry with coming up with a diagnosis of present infrastructure needs and costs and a proposal of urgent measures to improve the prison system. He also announced the construction of six new prison facilities. One alternative being examined is to set up metal-based modular temporary prisons while new ones are built.
But the president of the Supreme Court, Milton Juica, is skeptical. "The systems for alternative conflict resolution and conditional freedom do not work because of the strong message from politicians that 'it's best for everyone to be in jail.'" he said. "These are the consequences of that message."

Oman is the only country which has a Spanish Cultural Centre, Santiago Escamilla Fraile, the centre's general manager said. He was speaking at a lecture held recently about the Spanish language. The event also featured a flamenco workshop.
"Oman is the only GCC country which has the Spanish Cultural Centre and this is because of the good relations between the sultanate and Spain," he said.
Spanish is being spoken in 23 countries and Mexico is the country with the biggest number of Spanish speakers, Fraile added.
According to Fraile, the Spanish empire which spread in the 16th and the 17th centuries reached North America and even the Philippine Islands where there was a significant Spanish colony.
"There are some common words in Spanish and other languages such as Arabic. Spanish is so easy to read," Fraile said.

Skies will remain clear for the first half of the evening, allowing another cold night to surface. After midnight, some places could see a few clouds, but this will not prevent temperatures from dropping. Patchy freezing fog will develop in the Rogue and Mount Shasta Valleys into the morning; keep in mind some bridges and overpasses may be slick.
By early morning another disturbance pushes inland, and will bring rain mainly to the Coast, however it is possible that clouds are able to surpass the Coastal Mountains and move into the Rogue Valley-mainly the West Side and the Illionois Valley. This could very well happen throughout the morning, but if it happens early enough any light showers that do push eastward will be dropping snow with the cooler overnight temperatures. It looks like the best chance for any showers in the Valley is in the morning; if a shower develops in late morning or even early afternoon, it will produce rain.
A high pressure ridge builds in for Friday and we stay dry for the day before another splitting storm system brings more wet weather to the area. Precipitation should be light and showery for most areas but we will keep you updated as the weekend nears! Thanks for logging on!

Customer Reviews Disappointing UpdateThe latest update has one new feature that is not reflected in the notes nor in the sample pages: it now has ads. I guess it is the way of the world... take something given to you at no cast (in this case OpenStreetMap) add a UI and sell it. What really bothers me is that it seems that the developer intentionally neglected to mention this new feature, both in words and in screen shots, that really disappoints. Moreover, an app that previously used no internet when in operation now is using up some of my bandwidth, making me question the name navFREE. Time will tell if or how I use this app; wase is still truly free, I believe. This is what you are looking for.I now use this for all my navigation. Free offline maps, multiple states free. Beautiful interface. Fast route recalculation. I find it`s fastest/easiest to use its google find for an address. I have installed all free navigation software. This is the best. Very impressed!Just tried this and really like it. Excellent voice guided, turn by turn directions. Liked it better than mapquest. It`s free too. Related - Navigation - Navfree GPS Live USA 1.9.7

text: Why Cane Sugar is Better than Beet Sugar Not all sugars are created equal. Lots of us have been brought up thinking that all sugars are—well—pretty much the same, and that the kind of sugar we use won't make much difference. Even today, most people don't know that some grocery stores carry two different kinds of sugar: cane sugar and beet sugar. Pure Cane Sugar, the kind C&H uses exclusively, is refined from sugarcane plants. The first cultivated sugar crop, sugarcane is grown above ground, nurtured in fresh tropical breezes under warm sunshine. Beet sugar, found in some store brands and in other makers that often don't specify the source, is extracted from beets grown underground as a root crop. How cane sugar is different. Cane sugar contains trace minerals that are different from those in beet sugar, and it's these minerals that many experts say make cane sugar preferable to use. As professional bakers have long noticed, cane sugar has a low melting—point, absorbs fewer extraneous and undesirable odors, blends easily and is less likely to foam up. And that can be very important when you're caramelizing a syrup, making a delicate glaze, baking a delicious meringue, or simmering your family's favorite jam recipe. Some brown sugars aren't brown all the way through. What beet sugar makers call "brown sugar" starts out as white sugar crystals which are then sprayed with a brown coating. Often the center of the crystal remains white and the brown molasses coating can be rubbed off in your hands. Not exactly what you want when you go to the effort of baking something fresh from scratch. On the other hand, C&H Pure Cane Brown Sugar is naturally brown through and through. Brown cane sugar is a natural combination of sugar and molasses, refined without any added colorings, flavorings or coatings. Formed using the traditional method of crystallization, each C&H brown sugar crystal is brown all the way through. C&H brown sugar contains its own natural molasses that impart a rich, sweet, natural flavor and a consistent quality you can rely on even when it melts. Take the advice of the experts — use pure cane. Marion Cunningham, author of the Fannie Farmer Cookbook and a leading baking expert, says that beet sugar can cause problems with many recipes. "It matters in recipes for baked goods like angel food cake. It just isn't right with beet sugar." And confectioner Joseph Schmidt, renown for his chocolate truffles and other candy, declares "I always order C&H Cane Sugar… It seems to be cleaner." The San Francisco Chronicle conducted a blind taste test, testing cane sugar vs. beet and consistently found the foods made with cane sugar were preferable. If it doesn't say "Pure Cane Sugar," it's probably not. Labeling law doesn't require a cane or beet designation and many refiners avoid labeling their products. If it doesn't say "Pure Cane Sugar," it's probably not. To be sure you get pure cane sugar, just buy any C&H branded Sugar. C&H has always been (and will always be) 100% pure cane sugar. And it says so on every package.

SmartPOST is an Estonian logistics company which specializes in delivery of goods and self-servicing post offices. Founded in 2008, SmartPOST currently operates 46 self-servicing post offices over Estonia through a solution called Delivery Point Solution (DPS).[1]
Currently, the DPS system is used by online shops for product delivery as an alternative to regular post services. Private customers can send their packages through the system as well and pay for the delivery on the spot with a debit or credit card. The system also encompasses an SMS-based notification system notifying clients when an item has been delivered. SmartPOST's solution was implemented in April 2009.[2]
Unlike other similar systems (such as the Packstation solution in Germany), SmartPOST has placed its Delivery Point Solution indoors (e.g. in shopping malls), making them convenient to use even with bad weather.[3] In July 2009, SmartPOST reported it is in negotiations with an Italian company interested in licensing SmartPOST's Delivery Point Solution for usage in Italy.[4]
Currently SmartPOST is servicing roughly two hundred distant selling companies and online shops in Estonia.[5][6]
During its first year of operation, SmartPOST reported an 13.8 million EEK (about 1.2 million USD) turnover with an 8.3 million ($740,000 USD) profit loss. SmartPOST's member of board Antti Oolup said that the loss was expected and planned, with monthly profits planned for the end of 2009.[7] SmartPOST reported that over 33 thousand packages were sent through its service in Estonia in December 2009.[8]
SmartPOST was chosen as the Logistics Deed 2009 at the annual Purchase Management and Logistics Conference.[9] At the end of 2009, SmartPOST also reported that it will expand its business to Finland. Currently, only one-way packages can be sent from Estonia.[10][11]
In November 2010, SmartPOST's CEO position was taken over from Indrek Oolup by Risto Eelmaa. [12]

In October 2009, Estonia's national postal company Eesti Post filed a complaint with the Estonian Consumer Union, claiming that SmartPOST's television advertisements were damaging the reputation of Eesti Post and also "calling viewers up to violence against elderly people". SmartPOST responded that the claim was untrue and damaging reputation or calls for violence were not their intention.[13]
In July 2010, the Estonian Development Fund (majority shareholder in SmartPOST) sold its share to the Finnish postal service and logistics company Itella. Raivo Vare, Head of the Estonian Development fund commented on the sale, saying: "Risk investment is a field where there are few success stories, but SmartPOST is definitely one of them. Sale of SmartPOST is even better than it looks."[14] The Estonian Development Fund reportedly earned €1.3 million from sale of SmartPOST. [15]
Production and intellectual rights for the Delivery Point Solution remains in the hands of Cleveron, a separate entity from SmartPOST.[16]

Another officer in California is charged in the beating death of a mentally ill homeless man during a violent confrontation with police in Fullerton. Former officer Joseph Wolfe faces manslaughter and excessive force charges. Wolfe pleaded not guilty and surrendered after being indicted by a grand jury. Two other officers were charged last year in the death of 37-year-old Kelly Thomas during an investigation into a report that he was trying to open car doors. Thomas was beaten in a clash with six officers and died five days later.

@BigManCar - I do the same thing. Anytime it comes to tools, I believe in the "Buy once, cry once" school of thought. Cheap tools have their place, but for something like welding I am not a fan.
When you weld something, you are joining two pieces of metal together. Things are generally made of metal because they need to be strong. That means that whatever is holding them together needs to be strong too. I want the highest-quality weld I can get in a situation like that.
Also, the more expensive welding setups tend to have better warranties, and they last a lot longer. You can get really good deals on a used rig that will last longer and do a better job than a new, no-name rig.

From individual caddies to wall-mounted storage systems, find a solution that suits your available space. Select storage products from brands like Creative Teaching Press, Copernicus Educational Products, and Flipside.
Easy Configuration
Classroom storage and lockers help you create individual spaces for different subjects or supplies. Separate toys, books, or art supplies with a storage bin system or a desktop organizer.

Sturdy Materials
Durable storage solutions are essential in a busy classroom. Plastic units are lightweight for easy repositioning but sturdy enough to handle daily use by energetic children.

Create extra room for books with a bag that hangs over the back of a chair. Save floor space with a desktop literature organizer or a wall-mounted unit. To help students keep their lockers neat, choose a locker rack system with multiple compartments.
Many of these kid-friendly storage solutions are made in bright, vibrant colors that create a welcoming classroom atmosphere.

RHONY Reunion: Carole and LuAnn Have it Out
It's a shame if you're The Real Housewives of New York. What would have otherwise been a decent reunion special seemed boring compared to the antics of Sunday's The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion. Still, the ladies of the Big Apple managed to get throw a few verbal punches, and the first ones kind of surprised us.
The other women started right in on Carole Radziwill — who, all season, seemed like the least aggravating person on the show– taking her to task for making snide observations during private interviews, instead of telling them to their faces that they were batsh*t crazy. Is that something people really want to hear in person? Anyway, Carole said that by nature, she's not a person that does a lot of shouting, so she had a hard time asserting herself over the others. But also, Carole explained she tried to have a sense of humor about everything and that everything she said wasn't literal. Still, the other 'wives couldn't all get down with that, since they were usually the butts of the jokes.
Carole and LuAnn had it out over Carole's designer friends, Naeem and Rajana Khan. During the season, Carole got upset when Luann asked to borrow clothes from Naeem, and LuAnn thought she completely overreacted. LuAnn contended that they offered clothes to her. Carole said it wasn't about the clothes, she was just being protective the Khans, and didn't want to bring people into their lives (ahem, LuAnn) who would take advantage of their kindness. LuAnn then argued that it would have gotten Khan huge publicity in Life & Style, and Carole retorted, "Life & Style isn't Vogue, darling."
In the middle of all this, Andy Cohen asked shapewear designer Heather Thomson what the etiquette was with this kind of situation. She said it's a pain in the ass to loan out expensive clothes to people, but that she couldn't say whether LuAnn was right or wrong because she wasn't there.
In fact, it was Heather who came to the rescue quite a few times, helping mediate differences and also serving as a voice of reason. Even Ramona admits Heather got a lot more likeable throughout the season, and Heather explained she was so nervous when filming began that she tended to spout off at the mouth a lot.
We got to hear more about Aviva's laundry list of fears, and she expanded a bit about how she came to develop them. We heard, in more detail, the story of her leg. Apparently, she was caught in this farm machinery — a conveyer belt that moves manure out of the barn — for three hours "with my leg being churned into pieces." She broke down crying, and said she's fine with not having a leg, but that her mental well-being suffered as a result.
While everyone else looked sympathetic to her experience, Ramona rolled her eyes the whole time.
In a discussion that was more tame than anything that happened during the season, Ramona and Aviva admitted there was no love lost between them. Ramona said she doesn't let a lot of people in, and she felt like Aviva betrayed her when she called her white trash and a drunk. Aviva felt Ramona wasn't a good friend to her.
In closing, Ramona had this to say to Aviva: "I wish no ill will towards you. I just think you need a new therapist." Ouch.
Next week, Heather and Sonja have it out over the toaster oven logo, and LuAnn will explain more about her pirate booty.
Did you enjoy the reunion, or was it a let-down after all the crazy that happened during the season? Do you feel any less irritated by Aviva's problems after hearing her full story?

A Mount Vernon man will be spending four decades behind bars on sexual assault charges.
Albert Rainey, 39, was given 40 years behind bars on two counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child.
Reports state that Rainey was arrested in 2006 for acts involving a victim under the age of 13 and after filing an open plea of guilt was sentenced to 27-years in prison.
He was given a retrial in that case after it was found his attorney had not informed him of mandatory sentencing that would have required him to serve the two sentences consecutively, which would have equaled 54 years. He was found guilty at the retrial in February.

Juventus general manager Beppe Marotta has reaffirmed the club's stance that midfielder Paul Pogba is not for sale.
The 20-year-old has continually been linked with a host of European clubs including Arsenal, Real Madrid and PSG, while former club Manchester United have also been reported to be keen on a return.
Pogba is under contract at Juventus until 2016 and Marotta insists that the Italian champions do not plan on selling the France international.
"We read about PSG's interest for Pogba but we have never got official offers and, anyway, we would answer with courtesy that it is not our intention to sell the player," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.
Speaking of exits from the Turin club, Marotta added: "As for possible departures, there aren't any players who have asked us to leave.
"We will see what will happen but anyway we are keeping our concentration on a sensational aim like our third consecutive title."

Lovely dresses, work-ready separates, denim jeans or comfy sweaters. For casual or formal attire, leisure or activewear, designers embrace the versatility of cotton fabric. And it was all on display at Cotton's 24 Hour Runway Show, held earlier this month.
U.K.-based retailer Superdry presented 10 looks for the South Beach, Miami event. Leigh Grossman, spokesperson, says the store was able to showcase a full range of men's and women's looks.
"Cotton is always used in our collections," Grossman says. "Its versatility is found in all our styles as it's soft, wears and launders well, and is a great fabric for all seasons. Layering is a key element of the Superdry brand and the ease of cotton fabrics lends itself to this aspect. Our customer loves the fact that our styling can be worn for running around in the day, going to the beach or even dressing up for a night on the town."
Hands down, the naturally grown fabric has fans everywhere: 82% of consumers say cotton and cotton blends are their favorite fiber or fabric to wear, according to the Cotton Incorporated Lifestyle Monitor™ Survey. Following behind are silk (3%), polyester (2%), wool (1%) and rayon (1%).
Cotton's ability to adapt to virtually any category took some by surprise at Cotton's 24 Hour Runway Show. Jorge Perez, president and head designer for Betsy Moss, was in attendance and says he noticed the audience became wide-eyed when certain items appeared on the runway.
"They would have never guessed it was made from cotton," he says. "It was awesome seeing the reaction from women who saw a super chic and glam outfit, but whose attitude was, 'I won't even try it on because it won't fit my on-the-go lifestyle.' But once they realized it was cotton, they immediately wanted it because they knew it was going to be super comfy."
Nearly 8 out of 10 consumers (79%) say cotton and cotton blends are the fibers best suited for today's fashions, according to the Monitor.
That kind of widespread appreciation is reflected in the offering at Splendid. The brand/retailer brought a wide variety of both men's and women's spring and summer looks to the event.
"We showed lots of color, tons of stripes and, of course, supreme comfort," says Splendid's Julia Austin, spokesperson.
Cotton's 24 Hour Runway Show allowed Splendid to showcase its wide assortment.
"Amazing T-shirts have always been the core of the Splendid brand," Austin says. "Based on the success of our tee business, we recognized people love the softness and comfort of cotton. So we expanded our assortment to include jackets, sweaters, dresses and pants. Our customer loves Splendid's approach to casual, effortless style, which is achievable largely in part to our use of cotton."
On average, consumers say they own about 18 pairs of underwear, 16 T-shirts, 12 casual shirts, nine bras and seven pairs of denim jeans, according to the Monitor.
"Most people have cotton as a staple fabric in their wardrobe," Grossman says. "Superdry incorporates cotton fabric in every collection and all product categories, whether it be tees, woven shirts, fashion tops, dresses, pants and denim jeans, along with sweaters and outerwear. It spans the vast ages of all who shop with us, whether younger or more mature, male or female. It has no boundaries."
Superdry's runway assortment included men's casual bottoms, vintage-inspired graphic tees, oxford shirts and its classic Windcheater jackets. Women's included easy cotton dresses, the lightweight Trails bomber jackets and logo bikini.
No matter the category, the predominating opinion among 77% of consumers is that better quality garments are made from all natural fibers such as cotton, up from 74% in 2011. That figure jumps to 82% among consumers aged 13-to-24, according to Monitor data.
Brands and retailers should also note that even post-recession and in today's new economy, 55% of consumers say they are willing to pay more for apparel made from natural fibers. In fact, 61% report to the Monitor survey that they are willing to pay a slightly higher price to keep cotton from being substituted with synthetic fibers in their underwear, followed by their denim jeans (55%), T-shirts (57%), sweatshirts (45%) and dress shirts (43%).
At the runway show, Betsy Moss showed pieces from its 2013 spring/summer women's line. Its men's collection, Moss Homme, will be available next spring.
"We brought some of our favorite cotton pieces, like our amazing slit jumpers that make you feel extremely glamorous, but yet so comfortable because they're made from a great pima cotton," Perez says. "We also brought some great cotton mini dresses with a chiffon overlay in gorgeous spring colors like emerald green and magenta."
Perez says the fabric's versatility is "a huge factor" when designing the Betsy Moss collection.
"All our favorite weaves and knits have cotton in them, which is what makes the clothes feel so comfortable, even though they look so glamorous," Perez says. "You can truly wear the outfit throughout the day and then transition into date night or an evening out with the girls -- and still be comfortable. From a chic oversized fall cardigan to a flowy pima cotton jump suit in the spring, for us, cotton is about year-round comfort with effortless style."

The data contained are based on findings from the Cotton Incorporated Lifestyle Monitor™ Survey, a consumer attitudinal study, as well as upon other of the company's industrial indicators, including its Retail Monitor and Supply Chain Insights analyses.
