Best DHA supplement
Comments (10)
Identical boys born 8/4/12
NUCB VBAC birth for our baby girl 1/14/14!
There is a lack of information to indicate safety in pregnancy. Studies in animals have shown harmful effects.
Personally, I've just stuck to taking my fish oil supplement by nature made. It has 250mg of DHA in 1200mg of fishoil. I would only ever use a fishoil supplement that stated exact amounts. With my DD, I took 3000mg fishoil/day and she is the smartest between my two kiddos (didn't take much with DS).
For different option, you can try krill oil or from algae. Both a much more expensive.

~DS - 3yo, 34w, VTS, SUA, Pre-e, PTL, placenta abruption, pPROM
~YDD - 1.5yo, 29w, IC, PTL, pPROM, Chorio, Bowel Perf, PDA
I take Jarrow Max DHA in addition to my fish oils, for that added DHA punch. I can buy it at Sprouts, but it's cheapest at Amazon
If you type like a 13 year old, I will treat you like a 13 year old.

I take Rainbow Light DHA 250.
I first got it in the Vitamin Shoppe but now I just order it from Amazon in a much larger bottle for the same price.
I also take the Rainbow Light Prenatal One.
I didn't realize the DHA 250 also has 200 mg of Folic Acid. The Prenatal One has 800 mg already, but so far everything I've read says take no more than 1000mg daily of folic acid so it looks like I'm fine afterall to take both of these vitamins. The Prenatal One doesn't have DHA.

Have any of you had problems with fish breath or burping with any of these? I've been taking the One a Day Women's Prenatal pair (a multi-vitamin and a DHA/EPA fish oil vitamin) but in the last few days I have been having a serious problem with burping fish breath all morning after I take it! Obviously looking to make a switch now. :-)

4 Electronic Design Requirements Of The System-Integrated Soldier
Perhaps most famously portrayed in Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers (1959), the idea of the "future soldier" has been around for decades. As rehashed in countless science fiction films and video games, the stereotypical future soldier is equipped with a protective exoskeleton, enhanced sensory equipment, seamless communication systems, and advanced weaponry. While the concept once seemed implausible, there are many real-world projects under way focused on realizing those seemingly fictitious warfighter capabilities — by integrating a plethora of diverse electronic subsystems into a cohesively operational suit.

Dumpster Find!!
Went for a walk the other night and found this primitive gem sitting by the dumpster. My daughter is remodeling her home and is excited to get it to hang in her new bathroom!!
How cute! I love the arched doors. Be sure and keep us posted on it's transformation. I'm with Chevy on removing the spindles. A couple of baskets to hold toiletries would be cute too. Leslie
I have a cabinet almost exactly the same! I made a drawer for the middle space and left the dowels on the bottom shelf.
Painted the whole thing a mellow creme colour and added a back. The back stablizes the whole cabinet, keeps it from racking and also keeps stuff from falling behind the cabinet.
Originally I had it hanging on the wall on the master bath but then I got the idea to add 1&1/2 inch legs and now it sits on the counter.
And please post a pic when it is done??

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Welcome to GoPSUsports.com's live, interactive
coverage of the 2014 football season. Tune in for live blog coverage from all
12 games on the schedule. Penn State closes out the season with a matchup against Michigan State inside Beaver Stadium.
Follow GoPSUsports.com's Tony Mancuso on Twitter @GoPSUTony
GAME BLOG - Penn State vs. Michigan State
Game Notes | Gameday Central | Michigan State Scouting Report | Coach Franklin Wednesday
Press Conference Roundup | Coach Shoop Q&A | Player Q&A Video | Community Service
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The Nittany Lions (6-5, 2-5) will host No. 10 Michigan State (9-2, 6-1) on Senior Day inside Beaver Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m. on Saturday with television coverage on ABC (ESPN2 outer markets).
Penn State will pay tribute to a special group of seniors prior to Saturday's game. The program will honor a collection of 17 players who have exhibited unrivaled commitment to Penn State during some of its toughest times. A senior class that has seemingly gone through everything during its time in the Blue and White is deserving of a standing ovation from the Beaver Stadium faithful on Saturday.
The list of players who will be honored includes: Adrian Amos, DeShawn Baker, Brad Bars, Bill Belton, Drew Boyce, Jesse Della Valle, Miles Dieffenbach, Sam Ficken, Mike Hull, Ryan Keiser, Jesse Merise, C.J. Olaniyan, Devin Pryor, T.J. Rhattigan, Tyrone Smith, Deron Thompson and Zach Zwinak.
The Nittany Lions are coming off a tough 16-14 setback at Illinois last week after the Fighting Illini made a game-winning field goal with eight seconds left. The Lions enter the final week of the regular season having held nine of their 11 opponents to fewer than 20 points in regulation this season.
Penn State is the only FBS team in the top five in rushing defense, total defense, pass efficiency defense and scoring defense. The Nittany Lions are No. 1 in the nation against the run (81.7 ypg.), No. 3 in the nation in total defense (267.2 ypg) and No. 4 in the nation in scoring defense (16.2 ppg) and No. 3 in pass efficiency defense (94.78).
Additionally, Penn State is second in third down conversion percentage defense (27.6 percent), is third in the nation in first downs defense (156 total), is 15th in passes intercepted (15) and is No. 17 in passing yards allowed (185.5 ypg).
Penn State is also one of just two teams in the nation to have not allowed a rushing play of 30 or more yards (Syracuse). The Lions also lead the nation with fewest plays of 30 or more yards allowed this season (7).
Saturday's game will pit one of the Big Ten's top defenses against one of the top offenses. Michigan State enters the final week of the season ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten in total offense (514.5 ypg) and the No. 3 in the Big Ten in total defense (299.0 ypg). Rated as the Big Ten's top passing offense, Michigan State has scored 27 or more points in every game on the schedule this season and is averaging 43.9 points per game.
The Senior Day game is also a Blue Out. Fans are encouraged to wear blue attire to support Prevent Child Abuse PA. Official Blue Out shirts have been available for purchase at the Penn State Bookstore and other downtown outlets since the summer, with proceeds going to Prevent Child Abuse PA.
The Penn State Blue Band will pay tribute to retiring director Dr. Dick Bundy with a halftime performance featuring music that he arranged and the formations he designed during his career, including music and formations used in the 1983 Sugar Bowl and 1986 Orange Bowl.
The Nittany Lions and Spartans will battle for the Land Grant Trophy on Saturday. Penn State and Michigan State were the nation's first two Land Grant institutions, both founded in February of 1855.
Welcome to the Gameday Preview for the week 12 matchup against Michigan State.
Pregame Reading:
What to Watch For - Penn State
1. Seventeen seniors will be honored for their efforts before kickoff, but one name stands out in the group. Simply put, Mike Hull's impact on the 2014 team cannot be measured in statistics. The Pittsburgh native has been incredibly productive and consistent since the season began in Ireland on Nov. 30. Entering the week as the Big Ten's top tackler (11.0 tpg), Hull has a knack for being in a great position to make plays on virtually every single snap. His work ethic on the practice field is second to none, and Hull has made everyone around him elevate their game this fall. Hull has played a season at middle linebacker among the greatest players in Linebacker U history, and he is deserving of a big game in his final outing at Beaver Stadium.
2. No player has felt the effects of Donovan Smith and Miles Dieffenbach being back in the lineup on the offensive line more than junior running back Akeel Lynch. On the heels of a career-high 28 carries and career-best 137 yards at Illinois, Lynch's confidence is at an all-time high. Lynch tallied his second-straight 100-yard performance in Champaign last week, which included a 47-yard touchdown run. Against a Michigan State defense that has been stingy against the ground attack, the Lions will need another strong outing from Lynch and the running back corps this week.
3. Like Hull and so many of the senior members of the team, kicker Sam Ficken has earned the respect of every single member of the football program for his work ethic and production and ability to overcome adversity. Ficken has been consistent every step of the way in 2014. He is 22-of-26 on field goal attempts (all four misses were blocked) in 2014. Ficken is ranked 11th in the nation in field goal percentage (84.6 percent) and third in the nation in field goals per game (2.00). Ranked second in Penn State history with 52 made field goals, the Indiana native will go down as one of Penn State's most productive kickers.
What to Watch For - Michigan State
1. Penn State leads the nation in defending the run at 81.7 yards per game. The unit will face a stiff test on Saturday against Michigan State junior Jeremy Langford. The Spartan running back enters the weekend having eclipsed the 100-yard mark in 14 consecutive Big Ten games (Longest streak in FBS conference games since the stat has been kept in 1996). Langford is a big, physical back with great speed. He will be looking to set a school record of nine-straight 100-yard games.
2. In the passing game, Michigan State junior Connor Cook and wide receiver Tony Lippett have been a formidable duo for the Spartan offense. Cook is the Big Ten's passing leader with 2,720 yards (21 touchdowns and 5 interceptions) while completing 59 percent of his passes. Lippett is the Big Ten's only 1,000-yard receiver thus far. He has made 56 receptions and scored a Big Ten-best 10 touchdowns.
3. Defensively, the Spartans field a talented collection of impact players. Safety Kurtis Drummond leads Michigan State with 59 tackles and four interceptions this season. The Spartans have three players with 11.0 tackles for loss, including standout defensive end Shilique Calhoun. Michigan State leads the nation in turnover margin (+1.73) and is No. 3 in turnovers gained this season (31).
The Final Word:
The 2014 senior class has been instrumental in helping Penn State earning a 30-18 on-field record during unprecedented circumstances in the last four years. The senior class has earned three-straight winning seasons and will have a chance for a fourth on Saturday. Nine of the 17 seniors graduated prior to the start of the 2014 season. The group also includes the No. 3 scorer in school history, one of the program's elite tacklers, a 2,000-yard rusher and six of the seven team captains. Additionally, the Nittany Lions are thrilled to pay tribute to safety Ryan Keiser, whose season was cut short with a season-ending injury prior to the Ohio State game. Keiser's maturity and leadership have been paramount to Penn State's success during the last for seasons. The kickoff is set for 3:36 p.m. on Saturday with Mike Patrick, Ed Cunningham and Jeanine Edwards calling the ABC broadcast.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - 'Tis the season for giving thanks, and the Penn
State Athletics would like to take an opportunity to say thank you to the loyal
fans on Thanksgiving.
As you sit down with family and friends to eat your traditional meal while the Lions and Cowboys host their annual Thanksgiving day home games, Penn State Athletics would like to thank you, the fans, for the unrivaled support you give every team on campus. Penn State's teams would not be the same without the greatest fans in college sports.
As a token of their appreciation, several student-athletes from teams on campus would like to say thank you and Happy Thanksgiving for the support you give them throughout the athletic season.
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State defensive coordinator and safeties
coach Bob Shoop spoke with the media on Thursday. The Nittany Lions host Michigan State in the
final regular season game on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. (ABC). Take a look at a
Q&A with Shoop.
Q: When you got here in January and looked at all of the personnel, did you think this unit could play as well as it has this year?
Shoop: "At that time, I didn't know. When I got here, I'd studied all of the personnel and I knew there was potential. I knew there was a nice nucleus of seniors...I knew Deion Barnes. I knew who Austin Johnson was. I knew C.J. Olaniyan. I certainly knew who Mike Hull and Adrian Amos were. The guys are hungry. They are team-first individuals. They play hard. And I think is a group that embodies the thought that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. They've been really neat overachievers."
Q: Were you able to put your finger on what the defense needed to do a little bit better at the end of the Illinois game and how did the unit bounce back?
Shoop: "It was just a couple plays. (Mike) Dudek and (Reilly) O'Toole made a couple plays. And I think you certainly give them credit. Bill Cubit is an outstanding offensive coordinator. Dudek played a great game on senior day, and O'Toole came up with a couple big plays. We misplayed the first two. We played 72 snaps in that game. You hold them to 282 yards and 14 out of 16 on third down and you don't execute in the two-minute drill. We stepped up at the end and made them kick a field goal, but we needed to block it obviously at that particular point. I think Coach might have said this yesterday; there is a difference between playing well and playing winning football. We need to execute in all situations. We didn't do as well as we needed to at the end of the Illinois game.
"We did a two-minute drill yesterday against the offense, and they executed very, very well. They are a resilient group. They are very confident. We always have a 24-hour rule, good or bad. Twenty-four hours after the game, we have a Sunday meeting to debrief the previous day's game. I show them a good, bad and ugly tape. We evaluate all of the situations to show what we did well and what we did poorly. And then we move on to the next opponent. The players are really excited to play Michigan State this weekend."
Q: What can you say about Ryan Keiser and what he meant to the defense? And how much will it mean to you to see him get honored with the senior class?
Shoop: "Words probably can't express what it means to me to see him out on the field with his teammates on Saturday. That was really one of the weirdest, flukiest things I've ever gone through as a coach on the Thursday before Ohio State...We thought he had the wind knocked out of him, and then for him to have gone through what he has gone through during the past month has been tough. Someone put it really well to me, there is probably no one in our program more equipped to handle such a thing than Ryan because he is married. He's so mature. He recognizes that football is what he does and not who he is. He's handled it incredibly well and unselfishly. I've gotten to know his wife McKenzie during this period better than I knew her before. What he brought to the team that people don't recognize, he is one of those unique people who can make everyone around him not only a better player, but a better person. I include myself in that...As good of a football player as he is, he is a better person. He can be on my team any day. I can promise you that."
Q: How would you describe the improvement Deion Barnes has made this year and his commitment to get better?
Shoop: "Deion is awesome. I saw it when I first got on the job here. When I first got on the job here the perception was that in (2013), he took a little bit of a step backwards. I watched a lot of the game film, and I didn't necessarily see it that way. He and Sean Spencer developed an incredible relationship. And he and I developed a really good relationship. He's a man of few words. He doesn't say a whole lot, but his approach to getting better as a person and as a football player everyday was incredible...There is probably not a player who practices more consistently than he does. He has great fundamentals. He has great techniques."
Q: How much of an impact do you think Mike Hull has had on Nyeem Wartman and Brandon Bell through the whole season?
Shoop: "That is a great question. Mike Hull has had an impact on our entire unit, this entire team, and maybe the entire program. I don't know that I have ever seen a person be more of an ultimate teammate than he is. Similar to Deion, Mike is a person of few words. It's not like he is the most vocal guy. But when he says something, it has a significant amount of substance. To him, it's not talking about it, it's being about it. It's about how he approached winter program, how he approached the new staff with tremendous energy, about how he embraced being the quarterback of the defense. Certainly, he helped Brandon and Nyeem take their games to another level. But certainly he helped a lot of people on the defense take their game to the next level. In some ways, he's like a quarterback on the field. And he has really taken the next step now that Keiser is out."
Q: Remarks on the Michigan State offense...
Shoop: "Michigan State will certainly provide as tremendous of a challenge that we have faced all year. Connor Cook is an outstanding quarterback who is playing really well. (Jeremy) Langford is a tremendous running back. They have great depth at running back. They've got good tight ends. They've got a stable full of wide receivers. And their offensive line is really very, very good."

James Franklin Transcript - Nov. 25
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State (6-5, 2-5) returns home for the final regular season game of 2014 on Saturday against No. 8 Michigan State (9-2, 6-1). The Lions and Spartans are set to collide in a Senior Day showdown at 3:30 p.m. (ABC).
Head coach James Franklin previewed the matchup against the Spartans on Tuesday afternoon inside the Beaver Stadium Media Room.
Saturday will be a special day for 17 seniors on the roster. A group that has been through seemingly everything during its time on campus will be honored prior to kickoff. A senior class that stuck with the program during some of its toughest times deserves a tremendous ovation from the Nittany Lion fans.
"I think what we've been through the last three years and what these guys have meant, how they've stuck with this university and the football program and the community as well have been tremendous leaders, have been tremendous ambassadors both on and off the field and in the classroom," Franklin said. "It's significant. I think everybody in our program, all the players kind of look up to them, which is typically the case in most programs. But I think it's magnified, obviously, from what they've been through."
Six of Penn State's seven captains for 2014 are seniors. The lone exception is sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg. Coach Franklin said that the captains met with him in his office on Saturday evening following the Illinois game. It's a group of senior players that is incredibly passionate about the program in every sense of the program.
"We sat there for probably at least an hour talking about a lot of different things," Franklin said. "They've been awesome. I think it's probably like this in a lot of professions, but you get frustrated or disappointed and you're going through some challenges or adversity. As long as you're surrounded with really good people that care and are committed, you can talk through it, you feel better. I know they made me feel better. Gave me some perspective on some things, really valuable. I think these seniors have been unbelievable. I know myself as well as the rest of the staff and the young guys look up to him and are very, very thankful."
Mike Hull will be one of the 17 players honored on Saturday. With every fiber of his body, Hull embodies what this class and Penn State Football stands for. A tremendous individual off the field, Hull has put together one of the best seasons by any linebacker in school history. Hull enters the final week of the regular season with 121 tackles (11.0 tpg), which ranks seventh in the nation.
Hull is excited for the challenge to compete against a superb offense in his final game at Beaver Stadium.
"Yeah, it's definitely going to be a fun atmosphere. It's going to be a great challenge," Hull said. "That's what we like especially defensively. Want to keep our team in this game and give us every chance of winning. We're just going to have to step up and it's going to be a really fun time."
While every game on the schedule is treated the same when it comes to the squad's preparation, this week's Senior Day buildup adds an extra element of anticipation for Franklin and the underclassmen. The Nittany Lions want to send the group of 17 on a high.
"We're focused on playing Illinois this week at the end of the year," said Franklin. "If people tell us we have an opportunity to go somewhere, we'll be excited about going there. But we're focused on Illinois, and that's how you make sure that you're able to come out and play as consistent as you possibly can week-in and week-out, by taking it one game at a time."
The Nittany Lions and Spartans will meet for the 29th time on Saturday.
Press Conference Notes
- Franklin on the Michigan State offense:
"Great experience, seven starters, multiple pro offense, very balanced. Again, one of the things that jumps out to you, their quarterback is having a great year, but he's playing behind a really, really strong, physical, massive offensive line that does a great run game and also does a great job protecting them as well. That allows them to be balanced. No. 6 in the nation in scoring offense, No. 7 in the nation in total offense, No. 11 in fewest turnovers. No. 1 in the Big Ten in passing offense. Connor Cook is having a great year. Running back Jeremy Langford is having a really, really good year, and then you've got wide receiver, No. 14, Tony Lippett is having a great year as well."
- Franklin on the Michigan State defense:
"They're a 4-3 team. Quarters in the secondary with two run support safeties and they press you on the outside. You're pretty much one-on-one because those safeties are run players. Probably the most similar defense that I've seen to Alabama in terms of body-type and model. Their offense, defense, and special teams are very specific about what they're looking for, long, athletic guys. D-line is really long, linebackers are long. You look at the DBs and almost everybody is over six-foot. They run to the ball extremely well. They're very physical. They're No. 1 in the nation in turnover margin, number three in the nation in turnover gains recovered. No. 8 in the nation in rushing defense, and No. 15 in sacks. No. 1 in the Big Ten in defensive touchdowns. They've forced 61 three-and-outs. This is a good defense we're facing."
- Franklin on the Michigan State special teams:
"Special teams in Coach Tressel. They're number 8 in the Big Ten in punting. Long, rangy, consistent with their schemes. Been very, very impressed with what they do as well."

'SNL' to Add African-American Woman to Cast by January
"It's not like it's not a priority for us," Lorne Michaels told the Associated Press in early November in response to widespread criticism that the new cast of Saturday Night Live lacked minority faces -- and more specifically the inclusion of an African-American woman.
Now it looks as though Michaels is staying true to his word.
PHOTOS: 'Saturday Night Live': 10 Stars You Forgot Were Castmembers
SNL recently held two showcase auditions consisting entirely of African-American women, with sources confirming to The Hollywood Reporter that SNL indeed intends on adding one African-American woman to the cast as soon as this January.
The auditions are the first in the history of the long-running sketch show to focus exclusively on minority females, and appear to be a proactive response on the part of producers to rectify the current season 39's much-publicized diversity problem -- which was skewered by SNL itself in a sketch in which guest host Kerry Washington was run ragged playing everyone from Michelle Obama to Oprah to Beyonce.
The show added six new comedians this year; all of them were white, with the exception of Noel Wells, who is of Hispanic-Tunisian decent. Of the 16 castmembers currently on the show, Kenan Thompson and Jay Pharoah are the only African-Americans, while Nasim Pedrad is Iranian-American.
RELATED: Civil Rights Group Praises Plan to Add African-American Woman to Cast
The first showcase audition was held at the Groundlings Theatre in Los Angeles on Dec. 1 at 10 p.m., where actresses like Misty Monroe, a Groundlings Sunday Company alum, Amber Ruffin, Simone Shepherd, Tiffany Haddish, Nicole Byer and Bresha Webb were among a dozen hopefuls vying for the coveted spot, as was Darmirra Brunson, the comedian Pharoah had recently suggested should join the cast "because she's black, first of all, and she's really talented." The second showcase took place in New York on Dec. 1, and was attended by Michaels himself.
With Seth Meyers' likely departure from SNL coming this spring, the plan has long been in place to boost the team by one player come midseason -- but the groundbreaking showcases suggest the game plan has shifted to focus solely on the addition of an African-American woman. The talent pool has so far impressed producers, according to sources, but further showcases have been scheduled ahead of the big decision.
STORY: How 'Saturday Night Live' Found 5 New Castmembers
The move to add another female castmember arrives as Pedrad's future with the veteran sketch series remains murky. SNL's longest-tenured female castmember signed on to co-star in Fox's Michaels-produced John Mulaney comedy series, reprising her role from the pilot originally developed for NBC.
When Pedrad signed on to the pilot in April, she would have departed SNL had NBC picked up Mulaney to series. This time around, sources tell THR that the Fox series' production schedule does not conflict with SNL and Pedrad will be able to maintain her presence on the late-night staple. Time will tell if that proves to be true.
News of one of the two showcases was first reported by blog The Jasmine Brand after one of the comedians involved, Webb, posted a photo from the event on Instagram.

The archival content of Journal of Internet Services and Applications can be located on SpringerLink.
Aims & scope
In a world moving rapidly online, and becoming more and more computer-dependent, the Journal of Internet Services and Applications (JISA) focuses on networking, communication, content distribution, security, scalability, and management on the Internet. Coverage focuses on recent advances in the state-of-the art of Internet-related Science and Technology.
It is the wish of the JISA team that all quality articles will be published in the journal independent of the funding capacity of the authors. Thus, if the authors are unable to pay the APC charge, we recommend that they contact the editors. The JISA team will provide support to find alternative ways of funding. In particular, a grant from the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee helps sponsoring the publication of many JISA articles.

Boatsense Solutions, Inc. announced that it recently installed its wireless remote vessel monitoring system on several Moran Towing Corporation's tugboats. Moran maintains three major lines of business: shipdocking, contract towing and marine transportation. Approaching its 150th anniversary, Moran operates in 16 ports with a fleet of tugs and barges.
Separately, Boatsense announced a recent installation of its remote monitoring system on the 767 ft Str. Kaye E. Barker. Owned and operated by The Interlake Steamship Company, the Kaye E. Barker's bilge and power is remotely monitored by Boatsense. Founded in 1913, Interlake owns and operates 10 ships on the Great Lakes.
Boatsense's technology enables these owners and managers to remotely monitor their assets, and alerts them of conditions that require attention before incurring
significant loss or damage. The Boatsense device is connected to and monitors key systems including the boat's position based on the Global Positioning System (GPS). The device is programmed and sends alerts through the Boatsense Monitoring Network using the Simple Messaging Service (SMS) that is now universal on cellular phones worldwide. With Boatsense, the boat is continuously monitored and the owner, marina management and other groups are able to receive alerts.
Boatsense Solutions was founded in 2005 by two Maine Maritime graduates. Boatsense products are available through Hamilton Marine at www.hamiltonmarine.com.

Management Interview
I applied through other source. The process took 3 days – interviewed at Mueller Water Products in January 2010.
Interview process lacked proper organization and detail level. Some managers in the interview process were not even aware of the position I was interviewing for . The interview schedule was not properly followed causing a lot of idle time sitting around, one particular manager told me up front he had to leave and the 5 minutes we spent together he answered at least 3 phone calls. ( I came from out of town ). The floor people I got to spend time with were very professional and spoke highly about the company, Most of the people I spoke to have more than 10+ years of service with the company. I wasn't really impressed with the organization or the follow up after the interview.

Truckers navigating the Arkansas highway system can now do so more safely and efficiently thanks to a new travel and construction information web site developed by the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department.
IDriveArkansas.com locates construction work zones on the state highway system and determines if current traffic conditions require an adjustment in travel plans.
Additional layers of data can be toggled on and off to provide an overall understanding of what is happening on the state highway system.
Among the features is a map layer that displays live traffic conditions. Highways are color-coded in real-time to indicate that traffic is flowing normal, slow or at a standstill. This ability to "know before you go," will help reduce delays caused by congestion, according to the department.
Other functions include the location of Arkansas welcome centers, highway rest areas, and weight restricted roads and bridges, along with a weather radar overlay lets users determine the impact storms are having on traffic.
We offer e-newsletters that deliver targeted news and information for the entire fleet industry.

interview Director R. Kannan, whose Settai releases this week, on why he alternates original films with remakes
Two out of the four films he has directed, including Settai , that's releasing on April 5, are remakes.
But director R. Kannan isn't the least bit insecure. "A good script takes three years to write. I spend a lot of time researching and detailing my script. A remake, on the other hand, is a little less work. That's why after I did an original film Jayam Kondaan , I did Kanden Kathalai (a remake of Jab We Met ) and then an original Vanthaan Vendraan and now the remake... Settai ," he says.
A huge departure
While the Jab We Met remake was faithful to the original with just a comedy track by Santhanam added to it, Settai is a huge departure. Kannan has taken the expletive-ridden Delhi Belly and turned it into a film that the Censors recently awarded a U certificate!
A toilet-humour based film turned into a clean, family entertainer, as the makers want us to believe. How is that even possible? " Settai is about a journalist and how he achieves his dream of making headlines. This was a line that was in the original film but wasn't exploited enough. So, we took away the vulgar content because the Tamil audiences are not ready for it," explains Kannan.
"Otherwise, we have retained the original look, style, costumes and even the kind of performances. Only the jokes have been rewritten."
The film works better in Tamil, he says.
"The friendship between the three roommates is the crux of the film. We have balanced it out and given all the three equal importance," he adds.
"Not even ten per cent of the Tamil audiences would have seen Delhi Belly . The fact that it is a remake will not matter beyond Chengalpet. So it's like any other new film."
Set in Mumbai
Kannan decided to set the film in Mumbai because of the plot elements from the original. "Prostitution, gun culture, kidnapping, etc. would have looked out of place in Chennai. So while we have retained the nativity by making the three work for a Tamil newspaper, we had to base it in Mumbai."
The casting was an elaborate process, says Kannan. "Arya suited the young look we wanted and he's one of the most selfless actors who puts the script ahead of his role. Though he initially wondered how well we would be able to adapt Delhi Belly , once he heard it, he agreed immediately. He has a very good equation with Santhanam, who came on board next. Instead of casting a new actor who had to play the third friend, we decided to look at people who were already good friends with Arya and Santhanam in real life and Premgi was one of them. Our casting helped a lot to make sure that the guys did look like they had been friends for 10-15 years."
Casting challenges
"Casting Hansika as an airhostess was easy since she is from Mumbai, but we had to work on Anjali because we were casting her against the type. We have given her a sophisticated look. So the audience used to her rustic looks will be surprised. Nasser took up the role because his son had told him that nobody could do what Vijay Raaz did. He liked the challenge and he's really good in the film."
Has anyone from the original team watched the film? The producers from UTV did, he says. "We sent them the full film with English subtitles and they said they didn't realise how well it could be adapted for the native audiences here."
After Settai, Kannan will start work on his new project.
"That will be an original film tentatively called Alangaram . I've been working on it for over two-and-a-half years now. PVP will be producing it and I will decide on the cast after the release of Settai ," he signs off.

From Fleckenstein --
"At its peak, the stock market measured nearly 180% of GDP, and it's still about 130% of GDP. For those who don't know, at the peak in 1929 -- our previous biggest bubble -- stock prices to GDP were only about 90%. Also, aggregate debt in this country relative to GDP is higher than it was in the late 1920s. Back then, we ran a trade surplus with the world, and now of course we have a massive trade deficit. The situation is far more precarious now than it was in the late 1920s, and we still have a long way to go in terms of letting the air out of this bubble. That's for those who think nothing bad can ever really happen here."
SPD = Summary Plan Description.
Every qualified retirement plan with an IRS Determination Letter (approval letter) is required by law to give one to all eligible employees. It is usually given out with insurance materials or is in a company handbook. It has the official name of the plan, the ER ID #, your rights as a participant, plan highlights and features, etc.
Thanks we checked further and you're right, it is in the matching funds. What is an SPD though?
<< My husband has a 401K and it's required to have 60% of it in company stock. >>
I find this hard to believe... I don't think it's legal... maybe the employer MATCHES are in company stock and have to stay there -- the matches represent money that your employer doesn't have to give you anyway. The money that YOU contributed is yours do do what you want with. You can withdraw it and pay the IRS penalty... more likely you can move the money into a safer investment vehicle.
I'd stop contributing to this scam 401K program if you can only buy company stock with your contributions.
I've worked with qualified retirement plans for 20 years and I've never heard of a plan requiring that a certain percentage has to be in ER stock.
They would be within their rights to match in ER stock and not allow you to convert as was the case w/ Enron.
You should have an SPD on the plan. If not, call the HR dept and request one. If they don't give you one, call your nearest DOL office.
Sounds shady to me lady. Think you should consult legal aid.
My husband has a 401K and it's required to have 60% of it in company stock. Can only change that at age 65 and 10 years with the company. Hope the law changes so he can lessen this percentage, but right now he has no choice.
"...With Cisco, JDS Uniphase, I get the impression that the accounting was probably OK, and the decline was due more to general economic conditions and perhaps some mismangement...but not fraudlent..."
Egregious accounting, but not evidently illegal as in ENE. Still bad enough.
The one to really watch is Telecomm Carrier accounting. Track the story of GX and the issue of Indefensible Right to Use (IRU) and resales amongst various carriers.
FBI is investigatng GX and possibly A.A., although it may turn out that what was done is egregious, legal, but unexpected. Nonetheless, could further dampen overall investor confidence if findings suggest nefarious dealings.
One other point: Don't follow telecomm carrier stock price as an indication of where this maybe headed. My opinion is that it's not priced in (certain of) the telecomm equities. WS will deflect the issue as much as possible. You might see a lot of yoo-yoo action.
<I don't see why the collapse of Enron stock is so much different than the collapse of Cisco stock...lose 80% or 100%... not much difference between the two. Or JDS Uniphase, down more than 95% from it's high>
I have not paid a whole lot of attention to all of the details, but my general impresssion is that the primary difference was that Enron's accounting was much more misleading, (probably fraudlent) and secondarily (not quite as bad) they loosely gave much more of other peoples money (i.e. the stockholders)to the politicians for political favors or for whatever reason. Also I get the impression that these high paid Enron executives spent too much time with their country club living, and and not enough time tending to business and did not know what was going on as to the status of the company and how to run the business effectively and efficiently.
With Cisco, JDS Uniphase, I get the impression that the accounting was probably OK, and the decline was due more to general economic conditions and perhaps some mismangement...but not fraudlent.
Of course the court's will decide if Enron was fraudlent.
I don't see why the collapse of Enron stock is so much different than the collapse of Cisco stock...lose 80% or 100%... not much difference between the two. Or JDS Uniphase, down more than 95% from it's high.
<.....the employees must take some blame for lack of diversification; illegal activities or not.>
My thoughts exactly..... but how many times have you heard the demagogues in the Congress and the media say this?
I agree that Enron was/is an awful fiasco....but I see most of our current politicians and media commentators as being PP too). (PP stands for politically pathetic)

I'm originally from St. Louis, went to school in Kentucky, lived in Sydney and been in the Bay Area for 3 years now. I guess you could say I've had a nomadic life, but I can finally call SF home. I love the outdoors and staying active. I like to consider myself adventurous and always up for new challenges. I've bungy jumped into a river, ridden an elephant in a forest, and surfed in shark infested waters (ok, didn't quite know the last part until afterwards). I'd love to meet someone who is fit, adventurous, and open-minded and trying new things. I'm pretty much addicted to traveling (but who in SF isnt?). I've been across Western Europe, Northern Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia, and South America. Peru was by far my favorite trip. I try to get abroad at least once a year and am planning a trip back to South America as we speak. I'm big into sports as well as concerts/festivals and would love to find someone with similar interests. Being from St Louis I'm a die-hard Cards fan, so hopefully you can tolerate that despite being in Giants territory. I really love going to any sporting event and doesn't hurt that the Bay Area is good at so many at the moment! I've had a blast in SF so far, but would love to meet someone to explore the city with. I'd love to meet someone who has my same dry humor and sarcasm and that can laugh at themselves. They should be genuine, laid back, and while they have strong goals in mind, they don't always take life too seriously.
