An iPhone case for the post-apocalypse
Oakley's latest heavy-duty accessory is right out of Mad Max.
We're starting to get a little worried about the folks over at Oakley. Maybe we should have been tipped off when they started adding camouflage gear to their line of MP3 sunglasses, just one example of what seems to be a direction with a distinctly survivalist bent.
Following its bizarre post-apocalyptic headgear , the company has now come out with an industrial-strength rubberized iPhone case that looks perfectly appropriate for the Mad Max generation, as seen on CrunchGear.
As is often the case with Oakley's offerings of late, information is little to none on this item--we suspect that they may be too busy building a series of bunkers to write product descriptions. But we do know that $30 case would be the perfect accessory for that " Medusa Hat " and its matching goggles.

US Consumer Confidence Plunges On Higher Taxes
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER
WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ An increase in Social Security taxes is leaving Americans with less take-home pay â¿¿ and a more negative outlook for the U.S. economy.
The Conference Board said Tuesday that its index of consumer confidence plunged 8.1 points in January from December to 58.6. That's the lowest reading in 14 months and the third straight decline.
Congress and the White House reached a deal in January to keep income taxes from rising on most Americans. But the agreement did not extend a temporary cut in the Social Security taxes.
The tax increase will leave a household earning $50,000 a year with about $1,000 less to spend in 2013. A household with two high-paid workers will have up to $4,500 less. The private research group said the tax hike was the key reason consumers felt less confident in January. The survey was conducted through Jan. 17, at which point most people began to realize their paychecks were lighter. "It may take a while for confidence to rebound and consumers to recover from their initial paycheck shock," said Lynn Franco, the Conference Board's economist. Consumers also said they felt less optimistic about their job prospects over the next six months. Taxes are rising at a time when hiring is limited and wages are barely growing. The combination is expected to hurt consumer spending and slow economic growth. "Perhaps more important than the shock to confidence, the hit to income is also likely to show up in a slower pace of consumer spending in the first half of this year," said Thomas Feltmate, an economist at TD Economics, in a note to clients. The index has declined for three straight months since hitting a nearly five-year high of 73.1 in October 2012. It's still above the post-recession low of 40.9 reached in October 2011.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Muskego - During the fall season, both the Muskego football and boys volleyball teams were successful, tight-knit units.
Now boys basketball head coach Andy Capes is hoping those same qualities carry over to winter, as his team features several players from both of the fall squads.
David Kucharski, a 6 foot, 3 inch senior guard/forward and 6-3 junior forward Turner Kehoe both played prominent roles on the football team, while 5-11 senior point guard Josh Breider was on the roster but sat out the season with an injury.
Another trio of players held prominent roles on the Warriors' volleyball squad, which won the school's first conference dual championship and played in last week's WIAA state tournament. They are 6-0 senior forward Steve Cotton, 6-6 senior center Allen Grunert and 6-0 senior guard/forward Sam Pedersen.
"These guys really have a team mentality," Capes said. "The whole group gets along well."
The other seniors are 6-0 guard Jake Van Fleet and 6-0 guard/forward Jordan Kvasnicka.
Juniors are guard Mitch Kwapick, who qualified for the WIAA state cross country meet; 6-3 forward Mitchel Pope and 6-0 guard/forward Trevor Bednarek, both of whom played on Muskego's soccer team; 5-10 guard Caleb Berlyn, 6-2 guard Jack Mlachnik and 6-4 forward/center Sveto Radjenovich.
The lone sophomore is 6-0 guard Mike Vidmar.
None of the returnees had a high scoring average last season, as Muskego graduated its top scorer, David Mlachnik.
"We should be a solid team," Capes said. "We are athletic, but we want to control the tempo. Defensively, we would like to pick up the tempo with some pressing, but on offense, we want to play at a comfortable tempo, go as fast as we are prepared to go."
This is Muskego's first season in the Classic 8 Conference, and Capes said Mukwonago, Hartland Arrowhead and Catholic Memorial are the favorites for the title.
"I think we can compete with everybody," Capes said. "Every game could come down to how well we execute at the end."
Muskego opens the season at 7:30 p.m. Friday at New Berlin Eisenhower, which is regarded again as one of the top teams in the Woodland Conference West Division.
The Warriors then welcome Waterford at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 20 for their home opener.

Top Executive Background And Financial Reporting Choice: The Case Of Goodwill Impairment
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The authors study the role of executive functional background in explaining goodwill impairment choices. They focus on top executives (CEOs and CFOs) whose employment history includes experience in investment banking, auditing, or private equity/venture capital. On average, they find that former auditors are significantly more likely to impair goodwill. However, further investigation reveals that former auditors and investment bankers are more likely to impair goodwill when their reputation concerns are low, suggesting that those executives are subject to their own opportunistic motives.

"Alps" is a film peculiar beyond all understanding, based on a premise that begs belief. It takes itself with agonizing seriousness, and although it has the form of a parable, I am at a loss to guess its meaning. Yet I was drawn hypnotically into the weirdness.
Imagine a small group of therapists who call themselves "The Alps." They have been named by their leader, who explains that the title has no meaning. They hire themselves to people who have just lost loved ones. They impersonate those dead people as a way of bringing comfort to the bereaved. They don't necessarily look like the dead ones or sound like them, but they stand in for them a few hours a week, performing memorized dialogue that has presumably been supplied by the survivors.
Preposterous, will you agree? And yet their clients hire them and go along with the therapy. Not a single person in the film points out the absurdity of its premise. We don't get to know the clients very well, but we watch the Alps members as they train in an empty gymnasium. In particular, we follow a gymnast (Ariane Labed) and her trainer (Johnny Vekris), as they work on a routine involving her dancing with a long ribbon fluttering at the end of a baton.
She does this (very well) to classical music, but when she asks to change to pop music, he tells her he will bash in her face if she questions his authority. We find it is no idle threat. This brutal relationship has no apparent connection with the grief therapy of the Alps, which otherwise consists largely of memorizing dialogue.
Early in the film, a young tennis player (Maria Kirozi) is gravely injured in a car crash, and we learn that the paramedic is a talent scout of sorts, seeking likely victims who might supply Alps customers. Team member Monte Rosa (Aggeliki Papoulia) calls dibs on the tennis player; later she deceives the other Alps by claiming the player has recovered, and then taking on the parents as private clients.
How she behaves in this role confirms what we may have suspected, that being an Alps member and doing the job requires a degree of mental imbalance and can lead to therapists spinning out of control because of the tension between who they are and the job they're required to do.
"Alps" is the new film by the Greek director Giorgos Lanthimos, whose "Dogtooth" shook up Cannes in 2009. That was the film where control-freak parents contain their children within a walled garden and further isolate them from the world by teaching them the incorrect words for things. A Lanthimos film is like a test tube for life, in which the activity depends on what specific ingredients have been introduced.
Although "Alps" is provocative and challenging, it is so completely self-contained that it has no particular emotional payoff. There is no greater world in which to evaluate its contents. When mourners are comforted by therapists who propose to represent the loved one, you'd think deep feelings would be stirred up. But "Alps" has the effect of a sterile exercise.

Recipe by Mochi Puffs
"These brownies are dairy-free and egg-free which makes them vegan. They have a subtle spice flavor and are delicious. If you enjoy chai lattes you will love these! To ensure your final product is vegan, use vegan sugar. The coconut is easily omitted if you aren't a fan. Be careful not to overcook them."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup very strongly brewed masala chai
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
I'm not especially experienced with baking. I followed the recipe almost exactly, aside from leaving out the coconut and brewing my tea with 1/4 cup soymilk and 1/4 cup water, as a reviewer suggested. I used Stash Premium Chai Spice black tea, which uses exactly the spices called for in Masala Chai tea. I baked it right at 20 minutes and stuck a toothpick in the middle. It came out clean, so I took them out of the oven and let them sit. When I cut them, they were very moist but really didn't fall apart. One corner crumbled a tiny bit so I did what any noble baker would do: I ate it. Delish.
As is, the recipe is okay, but the chai flavor is very very subtle. The second time around, I made the following changes: upped the cocoa powder to 1/3 cup, the vanilla to a full teaspoon, added one egg for improved texture, used half white and half packed brown sugar, added 1/2 cup chocolate chips, and used "chai butter" instead of oil. To make that, I simply simmered butter with a teaspoon of chai tea leaves for about 5 minutes, then strained. If you want to keep the recipe vegan, you can infuse the canola oil with chai as well, and omit the egg I added. Make sure the chai tea is brewed very strongly -- I poured 1 cup boiling water over three tea bags and steeped for 20 minutes. The chai flavor was more pronounced but not overpowering. Next time I might add some extra ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves for a spicier brownie.

I used sweetened coconut instead, since that is all I could find at my store. I also only used 1T of cocoa powder for the bottom of the 8x8 pan. For a light dusting, that was even too much and I ended up dumping some of it out. Even with that, these are amazing brownies. Incredibly soft and moist.
Holy cow these are amazing! Definitely needed less than 2 Tbsp for dusting. Used a heaping 1/3 cup coconut (mmmm) which I ran through my small mixer thing. The chai: used two teabags steeped in 1/4 cup warm coconut milk and 1/4 cup hot water; strained the bags and then - aw, what the heck - opened them up and added the tea contents! I only had an 8x11 so they baked longer than 20 minutes (and remained "shiny"). Five of us for dinner - there are few remaining! Can't wait to make them again!
I originally picked this recipe, because my friend's little sister is very allergic to eggs and she'd never had a brownie before. So of course I had to save this poor kid from a lifetime of dread and depression. This recipe was perfect and worked great. The trick might be to make the chai just right. I'm Bengali, so I made it thick and heavy, the way my family generally likes it, with a "Bengali Spice Chai" teabag from Celestial Seasonings. The brownies came out rich and dense, just how brownies should be. The chai undertone made it even better for me.
Made these for my vegan little brother....absolutely delicious! I was slightly confused about the Masala chai, though....I wasn't quite sure whether to use tea brewed with water or with soy milk (to make sure that they are vegan). After researching the traditional way to make the drink I went with a combination of the two and they turned out fabulously!
This brownie recipe is great! The Chai flavor is as promised, subtle. I love the coconut too. My kids loved it but my Chai loving South Indian husband hated it. Still I give it 5 stars :)
These brownies turned out great! Didn't alter the recipe at all, except using less cocoa powder to sprinkle into the pan. Steeped 1 Tbsp. chai in 1/2 cup boiling water, then dumped the entire thing (including the tea leaves/spices) in with the mix. Gives a very apparent chai flavor.

Gulf oil spill: Will a hurricane throw off efforts at the well?
Coast Guard officials are preparing for the possibility that they'll need to temporarily shut down efforts to deal with the Gulf oil spill as a low-pressure system develops in the western Caribbean.
Dave Martin/AP
A low-pressure system developing in the western Caribbean has Coast Guard officials preparing for the possibility that they'll need to temporarily shut down efforts to deal with the Gulf oil spill.
A US Air Force plane was conducting a reconnaissance mission Friday to determine the strength of the storm, according to the National Hurricane Center. Already, the hurricane center has predicted that the low-pressure system has an 80 percent chance of becoming a hurricane in the next 48 hours as it moves toward the Yucatán Peninsula and into the Gulf of Mexico.
In a media briefing with reporters Friday morning, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said he will suspend recovery efforts if winds reach a gale force of 40 knots or greater (46 miles an hour or more) and the storm is judged to be at least 120 hours away from hitting the base of operations at the well.

While LinkedIn is the daddy of social networking sites for business, its trendier cousin Facebook has been known to go business casual. But before you go crazy using Facebook for your business networking, be sure to read up on some do's and don'ts to make sure your online activities don't lose you a job.
Here are the top 10 Facebook mistakes during your job search, and some excellent resources to learn more:
- Posting furiously all day. Yes, your activity is time stamped. And if you're spending more time on Facebook than preparing for interviews, you're not sending the right message. Even when you're not employed, if an employer sees you're on Facebook all day recruiting for your zombie army, they'll question your dedication to your career.
- Using alcohol, smoking, or any other "substance" in your profile picture. Not all employers will judge, but many will. Don't take the risk. Keep your profile photo — and all of your photos — clean and professional.
- Not knowing how to keep your friends from seeing things you don't want them to. There is a way to make sure that no matter what embarrassing pictures people post, your Facebook friends will never see them. Really. Learn about Facebook privacy settings to keep your Facebook presence under control.
- Not including information about your professional life. If you want to make professional connections through Facebook, then people need to know what you do professionally. Occasionally share links that relate to your industry, mention your job search, and reach out for help with your networking in a professional way. On the other hand, don't be all business. Think about balance in your Facebook profile.
- Missing opportunities to connect with people elsewhere. The more places you connect with someone, the more likely you are to remain on their radar — you never know where people spend the most time, or the most attention. Linking your Facebook profile to your LinkedIn profile is one way to help move connections from one arena to another. Think about where you want to connect with people, and how to bridge the gaps.
- Saying anything negative about anyone you've ever worked with or for. It's the rule in an interview, and therefore in any other forum where your interviewers might catch you. Your next employer wants to hire people who won't trash their reputation. Don't give them reason to question your professionalism.
- Talking about job prospects. What did you think of the interview you had today? Be very careful what you say. Anything other than "I'm excited about an opportunity!" might come back to bite you in the rear. Plus, if another potential employer catches up with you, do you want the fact that you're interviewing elsewhere to be public knowledge? Control your job search activity.
- Selectively friending your colleagues. If you friend half the people in your office, but decline requests from others, consider the impact on your brand. Who might be offended? Feel left out? How does that affect your professional image? Decide on a personal policy when it comes to friending professional contacts, and make sure it considers more than who you like, or who you'd meet for a beer at happy hour.
- Using profanity. There's nothing like a well-timed cuss word for conversational impact, but its impact on your reputation is a little different. Swearing used to connote a lack of intelligence — now the perception of swearing is different but still not what you want for your job search. Keep it PG.
- Divulging personal information, like medical conditions, your romantic relationships, or anything that you wouldn't normally volunteer in a job interview. Some of this information your next employer just doesn't want to know for legal reasons, and other information will seriously impede your ability to present yourself as a professional.
and a bonus mistake…
11. Assuming privacy. Even email or private messages aren't truly private. Never say anything online that you wouldn't want your grandmother or boss to read. If you play it that way, you never have to worry about what might turn up.

Monterey Jazz 2011: Juan-Carlos Formell And Johnny's Dream Club
September 21, 2011. Posted by Simon Rentner.
Add new comment | Filed under: A Blog SupremeJuan-Carlos Formell and Johnny's Dream Club at the 2011 Monterey Jazz Festival. (Image Credit: Cole Thompson/Monterey Jazz Festival)There was a lot going on in "Ciudad," the first song of Johnny's Dream Club's Monterey Jazz Festival set: a hint of early New Orleans jazz, tactful modern improvisation, poetic Cuban folk song. It all fit into what was essentially a two-chord song. And over and over, there was the haunting lyric, "Ciudad que se rompe / Cuando acaba la noche": "City that comes apart when the night ends."
That couplet serves as a microcosm of the band led by Cuban singer-songwriter Juan-Carlos Formell. Based in the U.S. for nearly two decades, he still hardly speaks any English, but his imagination is vivid. He conjured up Johnny's Dream Club as a venue — perhaps a romantic, divey haunt — in a long-lost New Orleans. He picked some of New York's top Latin jazz musicians to fulfill his vision. And he sat at the center, singing and strumming. By the time his second song finished, a dozen-or-so dancing couples had congregated in the back of the Night Club stage, swaying in his dream world.
Monterey Jazz 2011: John Santos Sextet
September 21, 2011. Posted by Simon Rentner.
Add new comment | Filed under: A Blog SupremeJohn Santos leads his sextet at the 2011 Monterey Jazz Festival. (Image Credit: Cole Thompson/Monterey Jazz Festival)There's an overtly political edge to John Santos latest recording, Filosofía Caribeña, Vol. 1: It's designed as a commentary on Afro-Latino history. Even if you don't speak Spanish, you could sense it when Santos' sextet performed this material — particularly in the strident, prideful and virtuosically bilingual raps of guest MC Rico Pabón. Jazz's social commentaries are often abstracted into instrumental music; here, it had literal voice.
But just as often, that aggression transmuted to commanding, original grooves, themselves morphing throughout the course of songs. Santos is a Bay Area mainstay, a musical anchor and outspoken ambassador of an active Latin jazz scene only two hours north of Monterey. And he's put together a tight band that works on both intellectual and physical terms, as they showed an excitable Night Club audience on the first night of the 2011 Monterey Jazz Festival.
Evolution Of A Song: 'St. Louis Blues'
August 10, 2011. Posted by Simon Rentner.
Add new comment | Filed under: A Blog SupremeW.C. Handy, known as the "Father of the Blues," didn't exactly invent the blues, as his nickname might imply. Instead, this savvy African-American songwriter and publisher tapped into the soul of his people and took their rustic sound — a combination of work songs, field hollers and spirituals — and shared it with the rest of the world. He popularized The Blues.
"St. Louis Blues" was his best-known tune. It made Handy millions in royalties, inspired multiple motion pictures and was recorded by America's top jazz artists. Nine decades since its original release, the song continues to be reinvented in every imaginable setting, from classical music orchestras to rock 'n' roll acts. Here are a few "jazzy" versions.

Shinzo Abe officially chosen as Japan's next prime minister (+video)
Hawkish Shinzo Abe was voted back into office as prime minister Wednesday and immediately named a new Cabinet, ending three years of liberal party government.
Old-guard veteran Shinzo Abe was voted back into office as prime minister Wednesday and immediately named a new Cabinet, ending three years of liberal administrations and restoring power to his conservative, pro-big-business party that has run Japan for most of the post-World War II era.
Abe, whose nationalist positions have in the past angered Japan's neighbors, is the country's seventh prime minister in just over six years. He was also prime minister in 2006-2007 before resigning for health reasons that he says are no longer an issue.
The outspoken and often hawkish leader has promised to restore growth to an economy that has been struggling for 20 years. His new administration also faces souring relations with China and a complex debate over whether resource-poor Japan should wean itself off nuclear energy after last year's earthquake and tsunami caused a meltdown at an atomic power plant.
On top of that, he will have to win over a public that gave his party a lukewarm mandate in elections on Dec. 16, along with keeping at bay a still-powerful opposition in parliament. Though his party and its Buddhist-backed coalition partner is the biggest bloc in the more influential lower house, Abe actually came up short in the first round of voting in the upper house, then won in a runoff.
Capitalizing on voter discontent with the left-leaning Democratic Party of Japan, Abe has vowed to shore up the economy, deal with a swelling national debt and come up with a fresh recovery plan following last year's tsunami disaster, which set off the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl.

And yes $80 is high. I was giving you a hard time for the extreme response that took you all of 1 min to develop. Actually I should have stated my intention more clearly and that was to get opinions on the best option to capture the season for keepsake.

So me and my friend are having fun just hitting the random button and playing a random champs. but for some reason there is no random button for me anymore and I don't know why. We have won 5 in a row BTW, but can someone please tell me how to fix this.
If you click "Lock in" without selecting a champion, it automatically assigns you to a random character. Hope that does what you need.
It seems as though the random button has indeed disappeared. However, by locking in without selecting a champion, you are automatically assigned a random champ. It's a little harsher, but it still works if you just wanna be someone random.

Flight path maintained: fruit fly
Fruit flies recover their flight path after wind gusts and other disturbances with an automatic stabilizer reflex.
"Observing the aerial maneuvers of fruit flies, Cornell University researchers have uncovered how the insects -- when disturbed by sharp gusts of wind -- right themselves and stay on course. Fruit flies use an automatic stabilizer reflex that helps them recover with precision from midflight stumbles…" (Science Daily 2010)

Valley County Fifth-Graders Explore Their World
May 15, 2013 | Volume 100 / Number 20
Samar Fay / The Courier
Glenn Guenther shows the county's fifth-graders how saddles are made to fit different builds of horses. His horse Boo has wider shoulders than most horses in the homestead era did.
More than 100 fifth-graders from all the Valley County schools had a beautiful day last Thursday to learn about soil and water and the growing things that inhabit their landscape.
Their day began at East Side School with the annual rite of passage for fifth-graders: eating bugs. MSU Extension agent Roubie Younkin extolled the protein value of the mealworms ground up in her banana bread and the crunchy ants in the Rice Crispy treats. The kids learned there are legally acceptable levels of insect parts in foods like peanut butter and wheat, and, surprisingly, in juice.
Then the buses headed s...

I second RitaRose. I had a customer of the little co-op I used to run in NJ, she had numerous severe allergies. Food, chemicals, you name it. She was hospitalized several times while I knew her - I used to deliver to her house because she was close to a shut-in. You have never seen such a non-allergenic living space in your life. From the flooring to the bedding, all adjusted to her allergies.
She DID need to be very careful to source meats from sources that didn't use grains. Chicken, for her, was the hardest of all. I couldn't help her with the meats 'cause I was a produce and dry goods co-op.
My own daughter is celiac. Some bodies just are that horrendously sensitive.

An aerial picture of the works on the Northern Spine Road in Lowestoft. Picture: MIKE PAGE
By Mark Boggis
Friday, September 5, 2014
This eye-catching aerial photograph shows how work is progressing on building a "much needed" £6m road scheme designed to ease congestion in north Lowestoft.
Work on the fifth and final stage of the Northern Spine Road project started in June and is due to be completed next March.
Once the Suffolk County Council project is finished it is said the 1.1km single-carriageway road built between the Millennium Way-Bentley Drive roundabout and the A12-Corton Long Lane junction will ease congestion.
The photograph taken by Mike Page from his plane shows how construction has started on a roundabout for a new junction arrangement at the A12 and earthworks are well underway as the project remains on schedule.
Once work is finished, motorists will be able to travel at 40mph on the new road – 10mph faster than on Yarmouth Road – and the construction of the new roundabout will see parts of Blundeston Road turned into cul-de-sacs.
The county council says that the new road will see more than 80pc of traffic use it instead of Bentley Drive.
Graham Newman, cabinet member for roads, planning and transport said: "The Northern Spine Road project received a £4.63m funding boost from the government last year which meant the fifth and final stage of the road could be built.
"This much-needed infrastructure scheme, which will see a 1.1km single carriageway built connecting the roundabout at Millennium Way/Bentley Drive with the A12, is the final stage needed to complete this.
"Once completed, the road will also include a shared walk and cycleway, which will provide a safe and direct route for pedestrians and cyclists, and remove through traffic and congestion from the residential area of Bentley Drive," he added.
"It is estimated that 85pc of the traffic that will use the new carriageway would have otherwise used Bentley Drive so I'm extremely pleased that we can lighten the burden on constant traffic down this residential road."
As previously reported in The Journal, Suffolk County Council had originally planned for traffic lights at the new junction with the A12 Yarmouth Road, but the authority revised its plans to have a roundabout instead.
A county council spokesman said: "Work started on the scheme in June. Work is currently on programme to complete in March 2015."
Last May, the government awarded £4.63m in funding for the project and the county council is contributing £1.5m.

Lowestoft needs desperately a third crossing, to join together the North and South if this is done the northern road makes sense it will complete road system that will take you from the south of Lowestoft to the north quickly, it will also enable the town car parks to be filled up by people who wish to make shopping a Lowestoft a pleasant experience not as it is at the moment a pain in the butt. The reason you don't see people walking or cycling around Lowestoft is they have taken simple route and gone to shop in Beccles where there is adequate car parking free and the shops are enjoying a boom from the stupid traffic systems of Lowestoft. Make Lowestoft work get behind third crossing and flood defences.
Thursday, September 11, 2014
A lot of people moaning about the money not being spent on a 3rd crossing (nowhere near enough needed!) are totally missing the point. Congestion in this town is caused by lots of unnecessary short car journeys, how many people do you see walking and cycling as you travel through town? That speaks for itself.

Traffic lights from the south into Commercial road has me confused too. Why? Need a campaign to bring back the temporary lights as used during the roadworks; traffic flowed so much better
Saturday, September 6, 2014
The lights in lowestoft were designed by walt disney. over the bridge into commercial road doesn't need lights only comming out. None of the lights are iin sync with each other. London road south most people head to asda as sometimes it's quicker 3 cars go through the lights. from asda twenty cars and then they block the junction its a yellow box not a carpark. The lights on the new road going into the whitton the slip road needs to be longer as cars block the through traffic. the lights are not in working properly after 4pm as normally the traffic take turns in going but between 4-6 the lights going to the whitton miss every second time. I use a bike mondays, thursdays,fridays and sat morn its just easier apart from blue cars trying to knock you off.

everyone tries to get to the otherside anyway they can its flip a coin and try.
Saturday, September 6, 2014
If this is the fifth and final stage of the road, where are stages 1,2,3 and 4???? Another white elephant for the town, just moving the headache of heavy traffic to someone else's doorstep. Just glad I don't live in Oulton Broad!!!! Congratulations to the SCC Ipswich team,
Friday, September 5, 2014
This is a Suffolk County Council and Waveney District Council vanity project supported by this piece of propaganda to try and justify spending £6m. But we are not taken in. Without a third crossing this is just a waste of resources just another piece of countryside covered in concrete and tarmac with a road that will not ease traffic congestion in North Lowestoft. It may benefit the few householders in Bentley Drive and perhaps the developers but what about all the householders in Lowestoft and Oulton Broad who for years have had to put up with the noise and pollution from congested traffic?
Friday, September 5, 2014
..and still only two bridges.. But wait..They are building a pedestrian cycle bridge to alleviate traffic problems..Phew..Thanks Suffolk Council for realising what's needed..All those pesky pedestrians and bicycles holding up the traffic flow..
Friday, September 5, 2014
I travel from Lowestoft to Great Yarmouth on a regular basis, but can't think of a time I've ever been held up at this end of town. I work in South Lowestoft and the problem is getting over one of the bridges and I don't think it's just down to the bridges, it the traffic management and the number of traffic lights you have to go through. Personally, I thought the temporary traffic management put in place while the Commercial Road traffic lights were installed worked so much better, just taking the pedestrian crossing out in front of Daisy's Restaurant and stopping traffic coming round on the south bound side round Station Square made a huge difference. It might have been further to drive round the one way system to go south, but the time saving made it worth it. Is this new road really intended to relieve traffic... or is it going to open up access to more land to build more houses, meaning more cars and more traffic around the bridges!?

ykims - thanks for that. More traffic through Oulton Broad, what a farce!!! Another bonus for the faceless incompetents in Ipswich. Sack the lot I say and give some of the Primary schools the planning job, I'm sure they could do better. If I'm not mistaken Graham Newman was the man who messed up the Middle Schools in town. Where next for him I wonder????
Friday, September 5, 2014
Traffic will be able to travel 10mph faster to join the queue either going over the Mutford lock bridge in Oulton Broad, or the Bascule bridge in Lowestoft..... SUPER! Not a problem solved, a problem doubled, well done.
Friday, September 5, 2014
Excellent. Now build that ever elusive third crossing around the Asda to B&Q roundabout area and you may start to get a decent traffic flow. It'll never get built though... Not that I give a 5hit. I'm moving to Norwich. Boom.
Friday, September 5, 2014
On another note I wonder how long it will be before a Mcdonalds drive-thru pops up beside that new roundabout...
Friday, September 5, 2014
@Grumpygramp. They don't - most traffic using the A12 bascule bridge is local traffic, Through traffic is signposted and therefore routed through Oulton Broad and the main intention of this new road is to link direct Millennium Way directly to the A12 dual carriageway and help people avoid Bentley Drive and the Tesco roundabout.
Friday, September 5, 2014
Can someone tell me how traffic heading south over the bridge on the A12 will access the new road. I'm assuming they will have to head down Denmark Road Peto Way to the top of Millenium Way. Will traffic heading north then take the reverse of this route? If so I'm very confused as the traffic on Denmark Road is already a nightmare heading north. I just hope I'm missing the another planned route.

Apps That Rise to the Top: Tested and Approved By Teachers
Educators from around the country share their favorite educational apps.
Daydreaming and playing are crucial to develop the kind of creativity many say should be a focal point of a modern education system.
A look through the most popular MindShift posts this year reveals a strong interest in student-directed learning, inquiry-based approaches to teaching and the desire to help students learn how to learn in a changing world.
The science of learning can offer some surprising and useful perspectives on how we guide and educate young people. Things like our perception of "smart," relationships between students and educators, sleep, and use of technology can have profound effects on intelligence.
The deep reading of books and the information-driven reading we do on the web are very different, both in the experience they produce and in the capacities they develop. Recent research has demonstrated that deep reading—slow, immersive, rich in sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity—is a distinctive experience, different in kind from the mere decoding of words.
As with any behavior involving kids, mistakes will be made with online behavior — and that's a vital part of the learning process.
Educators, students, and parents have noticed how schoolwork suffers when attention is split between homework and a buzzing smartphone. Read how teachers are responding.
Using tech tools that students are familiar with and already enjoy using is attractive to educators, but getting students focused on the project at hand might be more difficult because of it. Living rooms, dens, kitchens, even bedrooms: Investigators followed students into the spaces where homework gets done. Pens poised over their "study observation forms," […]
Looking into the proverbial crystal ball, a slew of technology experts weighed in on the Future of the Internet V survey conducted by Pew Research and Elon University, and came up with a predictably mixed scenario: It's complicated. Asked to consider the future of the Internet-connected world between now and 2020 and to choose from […]
Lenny Gonzales By Doug Ward If you want to see a teacher fume, just bring up the topic of cell phones in class. Technology, especially social media and text messaging, competes for students' attention as never before. When half of social media users say they check messages from bed, and 11 percent of those 25 […]

Linux has gotten much better at handling printers through the years, but you are right that printing problems still occur, and they are a major source of anxiety, for new users. We have covered Linux printing in the past, but the landscape has certainly changed since our Print cover theme back in November 2004. We'll try to line up a nice big printing article sometime in the next few issues. In the meantime, everyone should visit http://www.LinuxPrinting.org (which now links to the Linux Foundation's OpenPrinting web page) for information on printing in Linux. There, you'll find configuration and driver information, as well as a CUPS tutorial, user forums with answers to printing questions, and software.
Thanks for the great magazine and keep on giving us even better.
I was a little bit anxious by a phrase in your September issue, page 23, in the article by Kurt Seifried which read "… and it wasn't too long before we got JavaScript from Sun and a variety …" The JavaScript programming language is originally from Netscape, as you probably already know, and even though it is now one of Sun's trademarks, I believe that phrase may be just a little bit misleading for younger generations.
Emre Sevinc
Yes, you are right. Our apologies. JavaScript was developed by Netscape under the name Mocha, and it was later called LiveScript before taking the name JavaScript. To be fair, it is worth pointing out that Netscape and Sun apparently stirred up much of this name confusion intentionally as part of a co-branding effort. According to Wikipedia:

1 dead, 2 in hospital in Nassau shooting - Police seeking public's assistance
Nassau, Bahamas - Police is requesting the public's help in solving an overnight shooting incident that occurred at Marigold Farm Road off Joe Farrington Road, that has left one man dead and a man and woman in hospital.
100 Murders
The murder count reached triple digits over the weekend, as five violent deaths recorded in the space of 48 hours pushed the count to a staggering 100 for the year so far.
This is the highest number of murders ever recorded in a single year since records have been kept in The Bahamas.
Four murders took place between Friday night and Saturday afternoon in separate incidents.
Another man who was shot Thursday died in hospital on Saturday night, police confirmed yesterday.
The first murder of the weekend occurred on Friday around 9 p.m. at West Bay Street, west of Nirvana Beach. When investigators arrived on the scene they discovered the body of a man with several gunshot injuries, according to Superintendent Stephen Dean.
Up to yesterday, police were still uncertain about the circumstances surrounding the man's death, and appealed to members of the public for their assistance in solving the crime.
Police believe the victim was a Haitian. Dean said the man was reportedly riding a bicycle when he was shot. Police said the second incident took place around 3:43 a.m. on Saturday in the area of the Corner Pocket Bar, Kemp Road.
According to police, the victim got into an altercation with another man which resulted in both men receiving gun shot injuries. Police said they were taken to hospital. One died and the other was hospitalized in serious condition.
The dead man was identified as Damian Bowe, 29.
The third incident reportedly occurred shortly before 4 a.m. on Saturday on Cordeaux Avenue. Initial police reports indicate that a man got into an altercation with another man and was stabbed to the abdomen.
The victim was taken to hospital by emergency medical services personnel where he died.
Dean said police believe the Kemp Road and Cordeaux Avenue murders stem from a shooting that happened in Kemp Road earlier last week. Dean added that police are following significant leads in both matters. However, police are asking anyone with information to come forward.
"We want to bring these persons into custody, particularly those who continue to wreak havoc on our streets," he told The Nassau Guardian on Saturday. "We say to the criminal element, the police will be aggressively pursuing you. We will find you. We will seek you out and we will not stop until we bring you to justice."
Police are also investigating the death of a handicapped man, who was found at the Centre Burial Ground, north of Eastern Cemetery on Shirley Street. The unidentified man was found around 2:55 p.m. on Saturday lying on his back with a stab wound to the abdomen, police said.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Hulan Hanna, who was on the scene, said a wheelchair and several used alcoholic bottles were found near the body.
The victim was last seen alive around noon that day. He reportedly frequented the area. Hanna said the man appeared to be in his early 40s. Police are unsure of the circumstances surrounding his death.
Police are investigating all matters and are appealing to members of the public who may have any information regarding any of these incidents to contact police at 911, 919, 322-3333, the Central Detective Unit at 502-9991, 502-9910 or Crime Stoppers at 328-TIPS.
Meantime, police reported yesterday that the man who was injured on Thursday during a double shooting in Ridgeland Park died in hospital around 9 p.m. on Saturday.
Police said they met a white Maxima parked in the middle of the road with two men inside early Thursday. They said one man, who has been identified as Clayton Smith, was shot in the back of the head and died on the scene.
The second victim who died in hospital on Saturday was also shot in the head, according to police.
A third man was killed in a separate incident on Thursday at about 5 a.m. on Palmetto Avenue.
Police said the man, who has not yet been officially identified, was shot and killed moments after he walked out of his girlfriend's home. He was shot multiple times to the upper body.
This same time last year the murder count stood at 68, according to The Nassau Guardian's records. This means that the murder count has increased by 47 percent over this time last year.
Since earlier this year, some analysts predicted that there would be more than 100 murders in 2011. And with just over three months remaining in the year, that prediction will likely be realized.
"The work never seems to end," Hanna said.
"It is [100] and it is foreboding for the country that here just passed the middle of September this is the stark reality today. But when we put it in perspective we can determine -- now I don't speak with particular reference to [the recent murders] -- but in a lot of instances we are satisfied that it appeared to be people of certain categories [who were killed].
"Now a life is a life and a murder is a murder, but if there is a perspective to all of this, it seems to be a constituency of people who are falling victim to these heinous offenses."
They came, they listened, they applauded, and applauded again and again, so loudly you couldnt hear past the thunder of 200 hands. The clapping exploded from an audience of accomplished women, members of the Corona Society, who had gathered for their annual meeting October 20 in a decorated banquet hall of the British Colonial Hilton, expecting light lunch and hearty camaraderie. What they got was a whole lot more. They got a powerful woman delivering a powerful message, telling them to ignore the negative noise around them that could take them down with it, decide who they wanted to be, what they wanted to stand for and begin to shape the future that was in their hands. What was past was past, said Suzanne Black. The best is yet to come.
100 women tune in to Suzanne Black's portrait of how to build a future
They came, they listened, they applauded, and applauded again and again, so loudly you couldn't hear past the thunder of 200 hands. The clapping exploded from an audience of accomplished women, members of the Corona Society, who had gathered for their annual meeting October 20 in a decorated banquet hall of the British Colonial Hilton, expecting light lunch and hearty camaraderie. What they got was a whole lot more. They got a powerful woman delivering a powerful message, telling them to ignore the negative noise around them that could take them down with it, decide who they wanted to be, what they wanted to stand for and begin to shape the future that was in their hands. What was past was past, said Suzanne Black. "The best is yet to come."
"In these challenging times, we need to reflect on who we say we are, what we say we want and why we do what we do," said Black, who has held executive and leadership positions in banking, management, insurance and real estate and earned accolades, admiration, official and private sector recognition, including an honorary doctorate in letters and a medal during the country's Silver Jubilee. How, she asked the audience, "can I say the best is yet to come" when challenges seem greater than ever before?
"Because so much of what we see, hear and read tends to reflect what is negative that we often tend to overlook what is positive... Getting to the better begins within each of us... The challenge is to choose what you wish to think about and what you say. In other words, do you think with words that will build and effect positive change or do you think with words that portray no light at the end of the tunnel? Our choices are demonstrated through the words we say that reflect the thoughts in our minds."
Choosing, she said, is not a one-shot deal. "It's a Monday to Sunday every day deal and it requires that we act with the courage of our words."
Paraphrasing and crediting Dr. Joseph Murphy's famous line, "to change our mind is to change our world", she encouraged the women, from bank executives to supermoms, to think of change as a ride on a seesaw, fear pulling you down, faith helping you to rise up. Fear of change stops change in its tracks, dooms it, faith in the positive leads to positive words, thoughts, encourages positive thinking people to gather round you. She might have added that if the path to doom is paved with gloom, the path to change is an open field planted with positive seeds.
"No one can make us feel inferior without our permission. No one can make us feel that we cannot achieve desired objectives without our permission," said the sought-after speaker, a frequent panelist.
"Earlier this year I was interviewed by Dr. Keith Wisdom for his television show "Portraits". When asked by Dr. Wisdom about the future of The Bahamas, I said that I believed that The Bahamas could become not only a better country, but one of the best countries in the world."
Though Black has a record of about as many firsts as any living Bahamian - first Bahamian to head an offshore bank, first (and only) woman president of the Lyford Cay Club, founder of the Bahamas Women's Forum, among other achievements, she challenged the audience to action, because if the best is yet to come, it has to start with a belief in change. It begins with one person who believes, but grows with conviction and courage and teamwork.
"You are fund-raisers, organizers, professionals, you manage relationships, homes and your own lives. I believe there is enough skills power in this room to not only change The Bahamas, but to help change the world, to grow towards the best that is yet to come."
During the thunderous applause, a clinical psychologist to the writer's left leaned over and mouthed the words, "Wow, I've never seen this room so quiet. These women took in every word. Maybe the best IS yet to come."

11-year-old dead after apparent accidental shooting
An 11-year-old boy was shot and killed in Andros on Saturday morning as he and his nine-year-old cousin reportedly played with a licensed firearm, police said.
Police could not confirm if it was the nine-year-old who pulled the trigger.
Chief Superintendent Clayton Fernander, who heads the Central Detective Unit (CDU), said a team of CDU officers traveled to Andros to assist with the investigation.
He said details surrounding the shooting were sketchy.
"Right now we are still trying to tie up the loose ends, so that's all the information that I can give," he said.
Fernander said it was still unclear how the children gained access to the weapon.
He said it is incumbent on those who carry firearms to ensure that their weapons are kept in a secure safe, especially if children are involved.
"We know that any time the approvals for a licensed shotgun are given, the licensee must have a safe," said Fernander when asked how gun holders should secure their weapons.
"License holders should not leave their guns lying around. It is irresponsible, especially when there are kids or anyone for that matter because a burglar can come into your house and get your gun. I'm not saying that is the case in this instance, but license holders ought to be responsible.
"People should leave their weapons in safes and keys should be properly secured."
He warned that there are consequences for those who do not protect their guns.
"If we find that people are doing that they are going to get their license revoked," Fernander warned.
The boy's identity was withheld yesterday.
