The complying with outgrowth is selecting the entrance decor. The desirable setup is become part of the advise of the fine art device. Cooking area entry layouts can extremely, the doors can be routed with an ornamental cathedral tool entry, a Shaker name with a hollow panel, a unmixed slab arrangement with a bevelled bound, among galore others.

Special Olympics trains and encourages its athletes with intellectual disabilities to go faster, jump higher, score more and in every way, do better. Special Olympics Programs in the United States are trying out a new angle, too. A fitness and nutrition program promoted by U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama and embraced by Special Olympics is rolling out nationwide.
Emily and her mother, Mary, stretch together as part of their PALA+ challenge work.
A mother and daughter, Mary and Emily Belk of Alabama, took part in the pilot of the Special Olympics Get Fit for Life program, part of the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA+) challenge in the United States.
Both Mary and Emily comment on their involvement in the program below.
I found out about this challenge from my coach, Cindy Bickman, and I joined even though I already work out a lot! I enjoy walking, practicing gymnastics, and cleaning the house. I work in the yard at least once a day as long as there's no rain. If it does rain, I just do more inside.
Mom and I like to walk the dogs together, and Mom likes to ride horses. I like to help groom as well as ride.
When I joined the "challenge," I found out there was more to exercising than just gymnastics. Apparently, I do a lot of exercising every day. I ended up telling Coach Cindy, because I knew she did a lot more than me! She has stairs at her place, and she teaches gymnastics and ballet 4 to 5 days a week, along with riding and taking care of her horses. I told my coach she could get exercise points by just grooming her horses.
My coach has a lot of good athletes who come to Chattooga Gym once or twice a week, so I know they stay busy practicing. I've told them there was more to do in this challenge than just gymnastics. I pointed out that you can always keep track of the amount of time you exercise and write it down. Then you can go back to the computer later to put in the activity you do every day. That way we can do more exercising and less sitting at the computer.
One of the great things about the PALA+ challenge is that it focuses on doing things you already like to do.
When the weather turns cold in February, I usually start getting lazy. But this year, Cindy Bickman, my daughter Emily's gymnastics coach, told us about First Lady Michelle Obama's exercise challenge, and she strongly encouraged us to participate.
We each signed on, and after that, Emily took over recording our activities and time. Emily's diligence and enthusiasm were contagious.
Emily and I started doing some of our exercising together, and we added our two mixed-terrier dogs to the challenge. When my friend invited us to ride and groom her haflinger horses, Emily figured out that there was a category for the "horse care" activities. Every morning when Emily practices her rhythmic gymnastics, I help her with her stretching exercises, and sometimes we do the Chattooga Gym's "Safety Dance."
After three months of participating in the President's Challenge, we've gotten into the habit of looking for new and fun ways to exercise. Now the workouts have become part of our daily routine, and I feel sure we'll keep it up after we've reached our goals.
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!
Stay in touch! See inspiring stories, photos and videos in our Special Olympics newsletter.

All-Star Fernandez aims to stay hot at home
Unbeaten in Miami, rookie will meet Haren, who's winless since May
Over the course of his 10-year Major League career, Nationals right-hander Dan Haren hasn't won any of his three starts in Miami. Marlins All-Star Jose Fernandez, meanwhile, has never lost there.
Fernandez is 3-0 with a 1.47 ERA in eight home starts this season. On Saturday, he will make his last start before attending his first Midsummer Classic next week.
At 20 years old, Fernandez is the youngest All-Star in club history and the sixth-youngest pitcher to receive an invitation. But he's not letting all of that affect him.
"Right now, I'm really worrying about my next start, who I'm pitching against, getting my mechanics perfect and getting stuff done the way I should be," the rookie said on Monday. "I'm really trying to focus on every start and keep trying to get better."
Fernandez leads the Marlins with 10 quality starts and ranks eighth in the National League with 9.03 strikeouts per nine innings. He also leads all rookies with a 2.83 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and .194 batting average against.
"He's got a plan when he goes out there to pitch and he knows what he's got to do," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "Does he execute it all the time? No. But you know what? Nobody does. But I think it's the ability to adapt that he's showed when maybe he doesn't have his best command or his best fastball command or best breaking ball command."
Haren will make his second start after spending time on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation. The veteran right-hander has looked out of sorts all season and hasn't won a game since May 9, but he took a step in the right direction in his previous start against the Phillies, allowing just two runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts.
"I was pleased with his command. I was pleased with his stuff," manager Davey Johnson said after the game. "He threw the ball really good. I'm glad to have him back."
After a productive homestand that helped them pull to within four games of the Braves in the NL East, the Nationals have lost four of their past five games, including an 8-3 loss in Friday's series opener. The Marlins, meanwhile, are 21-16 since May 31, the second-best record in the NL during that span.
Marlins: Hechavarria extends hitting streak
With a single in the first inning, shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria pushed his hitting streak to a career-high 11 games on Friday. He added a double in the eighth and is batting .322 (39-for-121) since June 5.
"We've all said that this is a kid who's going to hit," Redmond said. "I've said it all year that I marvel at how he cannot carry his offense out to play defense and how well he's handled that in times when he's struggled."
• The Marlins introduced No. 6 overall pick Colin Moran in a news conference on Friday. Moran, a third baseman out of the University of North Carolina, signed Thursday for the slot value of $3,516,500.
• Outfielder Chris Coghlan, who has been on the 15-day disabled list since June 9 with right calf nerve irritation, was cleared to resume baseball activities on Thursday. There is no timetable for his return.
Nationals: Zimmermann to skip All-Star game
Nationals right-hander Jordan Zimmermann will not pitch in his first All-Star Game on Tuesday because of lingering stiffness in his neck.
Zimmermann is 12-4 with a 2.58 ERA this season, but he has felt tightness in the neck for more than a month. An MRI exam before Friday's game revealed an issue with some soft tissues in Zimmermann's neck.
"I don't know if I strained a muscle or what the deal is," he said. "I would wake up in the morning and it would be pretty stiff. As the day goes on, it gets better. Obviously, looking towards home, looking to first, I can feel the tightness in [the neck]. I don't think it affects anything, but it's a nuisance."
Johnson does not expect Zimmermann to spend time on the disabled list, and he recommended Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez or Rafael Soriano as possible All-Star Game replacements.
• With his start in Friday's series opener, shortstop Ian Desmond passed Cristian Guzman and moved into sole possession of second place on the Nationals' all-time games played list. Desmond, who has started 91 of the team's 92 games this season, has now played more games than anyone in franchise history besides Ryan Zimmerman.
Worth noting
• The Nationals have won only four of their 19 series in Miami since the beginning of the 2007 season.
• Strasburg pitched only two innings on Friday, tied for the shortest outing of his career. On Marcell Ozuna's three-run triple in the first inning, Strasburg allowed more earned runs in one swing than he has in 13 starts this season.

Halladay seeks renewed form in finale with Padres
Veteran starter tossed six innings of one-run ball his last time out
Since returning to the Phillies' rotation Aug. 25, Roy Halladay has shown flashes of his former self.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner and eight-time All-Star, a free agent after this season, will get another chance Thursday to show the Phillies -- or another club -- that they shouldn't give up on him just yet, in the series finale with the Padres.
Halladay, a shadow of his former self over seven starts in April and May, showed some progress Sept. 4 against the Nationals, after sitting out close to four months with a partially torn rotator cuff. He allowed three hits and a run in six innings, lowering his ERA to a still-unruly 7.19 as his record fell to 3-4.
It was far from flawless, as he walked three in the first and hit two other batters before finding a groove in the middle innings.
"The only thing that's tough, really, is coming off surgery and everything else, you're just so used to being able to repeat mechanically without thinking about it," Halladay said following that start. "Now your arm is in a different spot. It's more of a challenge than it was early on. It's just a matter of getting used to that."
The veteran right-hander will try to slow a Padres lineup that's won six of eight heading into Thursday's rubber match, which will complete the first leg of a 10-game trip.
Halladay may claim the bigger name, but San Diego's Tyson Ross has quietly emerged as a bonafide big league starter. Since rejoining the rotation July 23, Ross has a 2.16 ERA with opponents hitting just .189, ranking 10th and fourth-best in the Majors, respectively, over that stretch.
Ross turned in one of his finest starts of the year against the Rockies on Saturday, tossing seven shutout innings and allowing just three hits.
"I really like the consistency of his delivery," manager Bud Black said after San Diego's 2-1 victory. "He repeated it all night long, and I didn't see him coming out of his mechanics. You're seeing more consistency with his ball-strike ratio. It was another great step."
Despite posting the third-worst record in the Majors since the All-Star break, the Phillies have won four of five and 11 of their past 16 at Citizens Bank Park. A win Thursday would mark just their fifth series victory of the second half.
Asche boosting Philadelphia offense
It hasn't taken rookie Cody Asche long to make a splash in the big leagues.
Asche, 23, was hitless in Wednesday night's 4-2 win but has been a sparkplug in the Phillies' offense since making his Major League debut July 30. In his past 28 games, he's batting .305 with five homers, six doubles and 19 RBIs.
A fourth-round pick out of Nebraska in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, Asche spent the better part of the season with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, hitting .295 with 15 homers and 68 RBIs in 104 games.
Denorfia lends a helping hand
Chris Denorfia has more than made up for any offensive deficiencies with his right arm.
Denorfia's nine outfield assists are tied for fourth in the NL, but more impressive is that he has at least two from each spot in the outfield. Five have come as a right fielder, two in center and two more in left.
He joins Jerry Morales in 1972 and Dave Winfield in 1974 as the only Padres players with at least two assists at all three positions.
Worth noting
• In 12 starts, Ross has a 2.49 ERA and 75 strikeouts to 27 walks. The Padres are 5-7 when he toes the rubber.
• Philadelphia has not dropped a series to San Diego since Aug. 26, 2007, and is 13-3-3 in 19 series since 2004.

Crew and pilots from the Royal Air Force's XI Squadron prepare to launch their Typhoon FGR4's from Langley AFB in Hampton, VA on Tuesday. The RAF is training with F-22's from the 1st Fighter Wing's 27th Fighter Squadron in anticipation of the upcoming Red Flag exercise at Nellis AFB. (Mike Morones / Staff)
JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, Va. Residents in Hampton Roads are more used to the winds from hurricanes, but for the past two weeks, the skies above Hampton have been churning due to Typhoons the Eurofighter FGR4s, that is.
Eight Typhoons from the U.K. Royal Air Force's XI Squadron joined the 1st Fighter Wing in a training exercise called Western Zephyr to familiarize pilots and maintainers from both countries how to better integrate during a joint mission.
Distinguished by their prominent canards, Europe's most advanced fighters have been training alongside a variety of F-16 Falcons, F-22 Raptors, T-38 Talons and Navy F/A-18 Hornets.
The pilots and ground crews will then participate in Red Flag at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., this month.
On one recent afternoon, three of the Typhoons flew alongside two Raptors to escort F-15E Strike Eagles from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C., on an air interdiction training mission where they were up against an F-16 and a pair each of T-38s and F/A-18s from Naval Air Station Oceana, Va.
"The early impressions, across the board, the training we're getting here is the best I've had on the Typhoon," said XI Squadron Wing Commander Rich Wells, who flew from RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire, England, to the southern Virginia base.
Bridging the gap
The pilots in the training on both sides say they are the envy of other fliers in their respective services, able to take their country's most vaunted aircraft side-by-side and against each other in training.
"It's a pretty cool opportunity," said Capt. Austin Skelley, an F-22 pilot with the 27th Fighter Squadron who helped plan the joint exercise, called Western Zephyr. "People are really excited and eager to fight with and against Typhoon."
The Typhoon is a unique airframe from the F-22 pilot's perspective, offering advanced avionics, improved situational awareness and plenty of power in thrust and speed that pilots don't encounter when going head-to-head against F-15s, F-16s and F/A-18s, Langley pilots said.
"The Typhoon offers the F-22 a unique capability that sort of bridges the gap between the fourth and fifth generation," Skelley said.
For the pilots of the XI Squadron, the training is a chance for them to test their abilities against all of the U.S. jets.
"We're pretty much the envy of all the Typhoon pilots back home at the moment," Typhoon pilot Flight Lt. Alex Thorne said. "A lot of people are excited to see what the Typhoon can do, but are really excited to see what our jet can do alongside and against some of the platforms here."
Red air
Planning for the operation began last spring. Pilots began arriving in mid-January, delayed by snow in Britain. Crews have been flying two to three flights per day since late January, beginning with basic orientation flights and essential flight formations, said Lt. Col. Geoffrey Lohmiller, the director of operations for the 27th Fighter Squadron.
The pilots moved on to practicing intercepts, close-in visual range maneuvers and basic fighter maneuvers.
Eventually, the Typhoons and Raptors began flying side-by-side, escorting F-15Es on strike missions outnumbered by red (enemy) aircraft, primarily the Navy F/A-18s from Oceana.
"It is more red air than we're generally used to at home, and we're taking it to the limit of what the jet can offer," Thorne said. "And when we start to get comfortable, we take it a bit further."
While U.S. pilots get opportunities to fly alongside allied pilots in various large-scale exercises, Western Zephyr is different because the pilots are flying side-by-side multiple times per day, for weeks on end, and debriefing together. This has led to crews becoming more familiar with each other more quickly and able to go over missions in more depth than before.
"When we're able to operate from the same location and within quite small numbers, you are really able to share lessons and take time out to debrief in much greater detail than we're able to back home," Wells said.
RAF Typhoon flight and evaluation pilots have flown in the U.S. with Raptors, but now advanced F-22 training is making its way to the conventional war fighter.
"This is an opportunity to bring the Typhoon into that fold and take it to the next level of training and determine how we work together because the reality is there's not enough fifth-generation fighters out there," Lohmiller said.
Lessons learned in theater
While the fighters are the most advanced from their respective countries, they have different abilities and advantages. The agility of the F-22 is what first jumped out to Wells, he said.
"Raptor has vector thrust: Typhoon doesn't," he said. "What the aircraft can do, it's incredible. The Typhoon just doesn't do that."
The Typhoon's strength, however, is in both carrying weapons and deploying them. With its two Eurojet EJ200 turbojet engines producing 20,000 pounds of thrust each and the distinctive wing and canard layout, the jet is strong in both its air-to-ground and air-to-air formats no matter what it's carrying. In its air-to-ground role, the jet flies with four beyond-visual-range missiles, a Lightning 3 designation pod, extra fuel tanks, 4,000-pound bombs and two short-range missiles. These can be aimed by the pilot looking in the direction of an adversary and targeting through a helmet-mounted system, Wells said.
"As we bolt things to the jet … it still flies like a Typhoon," he said. "High and fast, and that's where she loves to be. She loves being at 40,000 feet and supersonic. It's brilliant in terms of performance and getting places."
These characteristics contributed to the XI Squadron's involvement in Operation Unified Protector, enforcing a no-fly zone and destroying targets in Libya during summer 2011, experiences the RAF pilots can share with the F-22 pilots who haven't tested the Raptor in combat yet.
"One of the awesome things about being with these guys is learning some of those real-world lessons they've experienced recently," Lohmiller said. "On a coalition level, we can learn lessons learned about missions that we did not participate in and get those lessons combatwise from these guys."
On the ground, maintainers from the XI Squadron and Langley's 27th Fighter Squadron have been able to shadow each other. More than 150 maintainers and support personnel from the RAF are at Langley working on the Typhoons and shadowing American maintainers to "practice and develop together," said Squadron Leader Pieter Severein, XI Squadron maintenance commander.
Integrating on the ground
The RAF pilots will head to Nellis and begin orientation flights before the Feb. 25 launch of Red Flag.
"U.S. tankers are taking us there, which I hope really shows integration is really significant in what we're doing," Wells said.
Integration has taken place outside of operations as well. The U.K. crews have made it a point to thank the local pubs in the Hampton Roads area for their hospitality.
One of the first orders of business for Lohmiller was inviting the RAF crews to his house to introduce them to American football for the Super Bowl.
"Fighter pilots are fighter pilots," he said. "We get along great."

I needed a queen size bedskirt and this one worked perfectly.The size was just right. I washed it before use, as i do with all linens and it did not shrink. It definitely needed to be ironed and I used a spray starch which made a world of difference. I would recommend it to my friends.
I was not sure about a poly-cotton blend, but it looks very nice indeed. It is great value for the money - all that fabric for $19/20! Sometimes, when you pay a bargain price for bed linens, they are too small, or fabric is skimpy. This king-size bed skirt fits my king-size bed perfecty. It washes well.
I was very happy with the quality of this product. It's open at the top. The stitching is very good. It fits my queen sized bed perfectly. Since it won't be easy to separate the corner stitching, it will not hang well over an extended bed frame. This will be perfect for a platform bed.
Excellent quality at a great price. The sage color is a little darker than I had hoped but is still workable.
I would recommend this bedskirt for anyone looking to not spend too much money on a basic. It is very simple, but looks good when it's on the bed. I bought one in the mocha color--it is almost exactly the same color as it is online. I thought it might be darker, considering the name, but it is true to what my computer screen showed (almost more of a tan or cappuccino color). I bought it for a spare bedroom, where I didn't want to spend too much money--just needed to hide a boxspring. Overall, I am very pleased with the price and the look.
Very difficult to get on the bed. Have a very heavy mattress, Wish the description was more complete, might not have purchased. When it finally was in place, looks OK. Just angry about the lack of information on site.
Fits our queen sized bed well, and is just the right length. It is crisp white, and just what we needed to complete our bedroom set.
This looks like a pretty bedskirt but the color is a very light bland mocha that really requires some contrast in terms of walls or floors to look good. I bought it for a room with light walls and a celedon green patterned rug that had brown tones in it. Simply the wrong for the room, but no problem with the skirt.
Great color, fabric, exactly as expected! I got the blue to match with a lego comforter set for my son, it was perfect, thank you.
I bought this for my queen bed and it did not fit well, and it didn't hang well, it was too short for the width and length of the bed.

Apparently they are going to focus on the automotive sector.
This is not good news (obviously).
We are left with Qualcomm, Samsung, Nvidia, and ST-Ericsson as the major providers for smartphones and tablets (I am ignoring major SoC providers like Broadcom, Sigma, and Marvell b/c those aren't often used in smartphones/tablet), and none of them are particularly open source friendly.

I love zombie films, and these days anyone can become a
zombie. Even Nazis. I�ve long been fascinated with World War II, and of course
one of the most intriguing things about the Nazis is their bizarre, cruel
experiments. At the beginning of War Of The Dead, some Nazis are conducting some sort
of experiment on a captured soldier. And a title card gives us a bit of
information on the Nazi �Anti-Death experiments,� ending with the line �This much is true.� And hell, right then
I�m completely on board.
A special military force has orders to attack a bunker,
but there is something the men aren�t told. Some of them can sense this, and
are uneasy. There�s a gun battle, and half the company is killed. And then that
night they�re attacked again � this time by zombies, jumping from the trees.
It�s dark, and they�re at first unsure of just who is
attacking them, which is interesting because you get the sense that that is
what war is like at times. It�s more a question of staying alive and fighting
whatever enemy arises rather than dealing with the questions regarding zombies.
The problem for me is we have several fight sequences, and little time to get our
bearings, and little information. And there is some bad dialogue. �At least he
died doing what he loved.� And: �I�m going out� � �With a bang� � �You betcha.�
By the way, these aren�t your normal mindless zombies.
They jump like vampires. They run. They have strength. And there are other interesting
elements too, like a strange box (and a similar-looking necklace) and some
weird stuff a soldier�s coat that seems to come alive (prompting the questions,
�What is that? What�s going on?� from the characters).
The survivors are joined by a Russian who tells them
about a radio in the bunker. And finally they remember their mission � about halfway
through the film. Once they make it inside the bunker, that�s when the movie
gets interesting. But I was still left with several questions (�What is that?
What�s going on?�). I would have liked a lot more about the actual experiments.
War Of The Dead
was written and directed by Marko Makilaakso. It stars Andrew
Tiernan, Mikko Leppilampi and Samuel Vauramo. The DVD�s only bonus feature is
the trailer. The DVD is scheduled to be released on January 1, 2013.

Merry family reunion draws 128
Five generations of Merrys converged in Dell Rapids last month for a reunion. The Merry family met for the reunion July 4-6 at the farm home of Dan and Joan DeVaney east of Dell Rapids with 128 attending, representing the states of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, North Carolina, Mississippi, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. Those attending are descendants of the two families of Lyman Swan Merry. He and his first wife, Jane Elisa Woodbeck, had two children. Following her death in 1852, he married Margaret Ann Bronk in 1854. They had seven children while farming in Wisconsin, followed by moving to their homestead east of Dell Rapids in October 1873. Lyman Swan Merry was the sixth generation of Merrys in America. Generations nine to thirteen were present at the reunion. Representing the ninth generation were Tom Merry of Dell Rapids, Reefa (Merry) Hanenberger of Laguna Woods, California, Georgia (Merry) Lease and her husband Gordon of Rapid City and Ruth Marie (Hines) Merry of Dell Rapids. The Merry roots in America are documented back to 1640 when Joseph Merry, 1607-1710, born in England, was known to be living in Haverhill, Massachusetts in 1640. He spent most of his life on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, where he is buried, living to the age of 103. He was followed by four more generations of Merrys on Martha's Vineyard. Benjamin, of the fifth generation, and his American Indian wife Hannah Which, moved to the Schenectady, New York area. One of Benjamin and Hannah's children, Lyman Swan Merry, is the above mentioned Dakota homesteader. Organizers of the reunion were Diane (Merry) Josephson and Merry Ann (DeVaney) Sauls. Brief comments on the family history were given by Monroe Miller of Middleton, Wisconsin and Bob DeVaney. A church service was held on the farm, conducted by Rev. David Merry and Rev. Ronald Traub.

The Illinois Department on Aging helps older adults live independently in their own homes and communities. As the population ages, services and programs for older adults must evolve as well because longevity means more when quality of life is enhanced. To best serve older adults, we must also serve their families and teach younger people about the realities of aging, so many of our programs have an intergenerational emphasis. Working with Area Agencies on Aging, community-based service providers and older adults themselves, the Illinois Department on Aging strives to improve quality of life for current and future generations of older Illinoisans.
Effective July 1, 2013, the Illinois Department on Aging (IDoA) will handle all reports of alleged abuse against persons with disabilities aged 18-59 who live in domestic (non-institutional) settings. Pursuant to Public Act 98-0049, this responsibility transferred to IDoA from the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) Office of the Inspector General. In addition, IDoA continues to respond to reports of alleged abuse, neglect or financial exploitation of persons 60 years of age and older living in the community.
To report suspected abuse, neglect or financial exploitation, please call the statewide 24-hour Adult Protective Services Hotline (formerly the Elder Abuse Hotline) at 1-866-800-1409.
Helps older adults stay independent in their homes and communities. CCP provides an alternative to nursing home care and services include adult day, in-home and emergency response services.
The Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP) transferred from the Illinois Department of Insurance to the Department on Aging effective April 1, 2013. SHIP provides outreach and counseling to help Medicare beneficiaries navigate their healthcare options.
The Department coordinates with 13 Area Agencies on Aging and hundreds of contracted provider organizations at the local level to ensure home and community services are delivered to prevent older adults from prematurely entering nursing homes. More than 95 percent of the budge is outsourced to community-based organizations to meet our statutory mandate of providing appropriate services to older adults.

Microsoft has asked various people who posted photos and video clips of the company's Comdex Matrix spoof to remove them from their sites, citing the restriction on photography after the initial minute of Bill Gates' speech.

I am a pretty standard size 39 and these felt a full size too large. A smaller size wasn't available, so I returned them for another model. Everything else about the shoe seemed fine, and I really liked the feel of the SBS ratchet system (check out the Mens models for a better description)

The elderly man killed in a head-on collision between his SUV and an 18-wheeler Monday morning in St. Clair County has been identified. State troopers say Harvey Russell Collins, 80, of Birmingham, died in the wreck that happened about a mile north of Springville. Troopers say it occurred near the St. Clair Springs exit 156 at approximately 6:10 a.m.
Officials on the scene say the vehicles were originally traveling in opposite directions when one of them crossed the median, going into the northbound lane, and hit the other vehicle head-on. Both vehicles ended up in a ditch near the northbound lane.
"That's all what they're trying to figure out is who was traveling which way. It looks like one vehicle crossed the median. We're not sure which vehicle it was," Chief Richard Harvey with the Springville Fire Department said.
The driver of the 18-wheeler was taken to UAB hospital with minor injuries.
The wreck shut down the interstate for a few hours and traffic was re-routed to Highway 11. Both lanes of I-59 are now open again for traffic.

"Thank you for looking through my Cinderella pics," said Mindelle. "At first I thought I might be too bossy, using the Playbill camera, but you'd be surprised what people will do to have their picture taken!"
The singing actress was most recently seen as Sister Mary Roberts in Sister Act on Broadway. Other theatre work includes Lincoln Center Theater's South Pacific, the first national tour of The Drowsy Chaperone, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Paper Mill, Philadelphia Theatre Company), The Wild Party (New Repertory Theatre) and Songs for a New World (Princeton Opera).
His treatment recharts the journey of the classic tale in a new way. Retaining all classic elements of the fairytale, Beane and the creative team offer audiences a fresh take that gives the female heroine a stronger point of view.
Mark Brokaw (The Lyons, Cry-Baby) directs the production that will officially open March 3. Cinderella has songs by lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II and composer Richard Rodgers.
The new production incorporates songs from the Rodgers and Hammerstein catalogue, as well as songs from the original television version, including "In My Own Little Corner," "Impossible/It's Possible," "Ten Minutes Ago" and "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?"
Audiences will also hear the Rodgers and Hammerstein score anew thanks to David Chase (How to Succeed, Nice Work If You Can Get It, Flower Drum Song), who has re-arranged the material since it was first heard nearly 60 years ago. Chase also serves as musical adapter and supervisor on the production.
The property's closest brush with Broadway was a national tour that played The Theatre at Madison Square Garden in 2001. It starred Eartha Kitt as the Fairy Godmother and Jamie-Lynn Sigler in the title role. That production drew on several versions of Cinderella, including the original 1957 teleplay and the 1997 "Wonderful World of Disney" version.
Tony Award nominee Laura Osnes (Bonnie & Clyde, South Pacific) and Santino Fontana (Billy Elliot, Importance of Being Earnest) star as Cinderella and the Prince, respectively.
The cast also boasts Tony Award winner Harriet Harris (Thoroughly Modern Millie) as Cinderella's Stepmother, Madame; Tony winner Victoria Clark (The Light in the Piazza, Sister Act) as the Fairy Godmother, Marie; Peter Bartlett (A Free Man of Color, The Frogs) as Sebastian, the Prime Minister; Ann Harada (Avenue Q, "Smash") as stepsister Charlotte; Marla Mindelle (Sister Act) as stepsister Gabrielle; and Greg Hildreth (Peter and the Starcatcher) as the rebel Jean-Michel.
Completing the cast are Phumzile Sojola (Porgy and Bess, Three Mo' Tenors) as Lord Pinkleton, as well as Jill Abramovitz, Kristine Bendul, Heidi Giberson, Stephanie Gibson, Shonica Gooden, Kendal Hartse, Robert Hartwell, Laura Irion, Andy Jones, Andy Mills, Linda Mugleston, Peter Nelson, Nick Spangler, Cody Williams, Branch Woodman, Kevin Worley, Drew Franklin, Adam Jepsen, Alessa Neeck and Kirstin Tucker.
It is produced by Robyn Goodman, Jill Furman, Stephen Kocis, Edward Walson, Venetian Glass Productions, The Araca Group, Roy Furman, Luigi Caiola & Rose Caiola, Walt Grossman, Peter May/Sanford Robertson, Glass Slipper Productions/Eric Schmidt, Ted Liebowitz/James Spry, Blanket Fort Productions and is produced in association with Center Theatre Group. Charles Salameno is associate producer.
Cinderella has choreography by Josh Rhodes. Andy Einhorn is music director and conductor. Scenic design is by Anna Louizos, costume design is by William Ivey Long, lighting design is by Ken Posner and sound design is by Nevin Steinberg.
