About 25 families were stranded when heavy rain washed away the only road to their neighborhood Friday night.
A weekend of construction and concern followed, according to Sharon Trent who has lived in the Iron Station neighborhood for 30 years.
"We're kind of at wits end at the moment," Trent said.
A segment of Amity Lane washed away, leaving a gap of 25-by-16 feet, according to interim Lincoln County Manager Martha Lide.
"You could fit a bus in there," she said.
Pumpkin Center Fire Department responded first to the neighborhood off of Old Furnace Road near N.C. 73. First responders soon called Lincoln County Emergency Management who has in turn contacted N.C. Emergency Management.
The N.C. Forestry Service was also called in.
Building a bridge
Workers quickly built a footbridge so that people on Trinity and Amity lanes could get out of the neighborhood.
Neighbors on the other side of the washout offered rides so people could get groceries and supplies.
By Sunday, the Forestry Service started constructing a bridge that could support vehicles.
Inmates from the prison system were brought in for the construction.
But the bridge is only a temporary fix, according to Lide.
"It's not meant to be a permanent road. It's just to deal with getting the vehicles out. The pedestrian bridge will stay," she said.
Once the bridge is complete, residents will drive their vehicles to the other side of the washed out road. The bridge will then be taken down, and people will have to walk across the footbridge to get to and from their cars, Lide said.
Heavy burden
Trent is concerned about the solution.
She lives about half a mile from the washed-out section of road.
An old leg injury makes it difficult for her to walk long distances.
"It's going to be hard," she said. "Depending on where you park your car will determine how far you have to walk."
And she's concerned about caring for her horses.
Trent said she's only got enough feed to last a couple more days. Bags of horse feed weigh about 50 pounds, she said.
Her neighbors have offered to help her get the horse supplies across the footbridge.
"I hate using my neighbors that way. That's asking a lot," she said. "It makes you feel guilty in a sense."
Rough road
Amity Lane is a gravel road that's been in bad shape for years, Trent said.
Because it's a private road, residents are responsible for the maintenance. But Trent said she doesn't know anyone there who can afford to repair the road.
According to Trent, she and her neighbors have tried for years to get help, approaching the state and hoping they'd take it over.
That hasn't happened.
"We've contacted so many people to see if they wouldn't come out to get this road straightened out. The state won't come in and help us, and it seems like nobody wants to help us," she said. "The whole thing is just one big mess."
Lincoln County does not own roads, according to Lide. But she sympathizes with homeowners in the predicament.
"It's the long term solution we need to look at. This is just a temporary fix," she said.
Temporary fix
Residents have been holding their own since the road washed away, Lide said.
They've been catching rides to the store to keep their kitchens stocked. But Lide was still concerned about what would happen if there was an emergency.
A property owner with land that abuts the neighborhood has agreed to allow emergency workers to use his property if there is an emergency.
As for the temporary bridge, Lide estimated Sunday afternoon that it would be ready within 24 hours.
Trent said she and her neighbors are calling anyone and everyone they can think of to get a permanent fix. But that won't help come Monday morning when Trent needs to get to work, she said.
While she'll be able to drive her truck to the other side of the crater, she's not sure how she'll be able to make the walk each day to go to work.
"Any type of walking very far is a strain on that leg," she said. "We're just in a pickle here."

Alert: The following services will be unavailable on Saturday, January 5, 2013 from 12 a.m. (midnight) to 6 a.m. CST due to system maintenance.
Winter driving
Poster at right with most of what you need to know, but here are other points of information too.
Winter is a beautiful time of the year, especially when a fresh layer of new snow covers everything.
Winter can also be a very dangerous time of the year. If you plan on traveling during the winter, it pays to be prepared for the unexpected. Getting stranded during a winter storm can be a matter of life and death.
Simply following a few simple driving habits like planning ahead, driving at a safe and legal speed, driving alert and sober and buckling up could insure that you make it to your destination safely.
If you must use your car during a storm:
- Plan your travel, selecting both primary and alternate routes.
- Let someone know your travel routes and itinerary so that, if you don't arrive on time, officials will know where to search for you.
- Check latest weather information on your radio.
- Try not to travel alone - two or three people are preferable.
- Travel in convoy (with another vehicle) if possible.
- Drive carefully and defensively. Watch for ice patches on bridges and overpasses.
- Take note of your odometer and coordinate it with exit numbers, mileposts, or crossroads so if you are in a crash or slide off the road you'll better be able to identify where you are and summon law enforcement officers, rescue workers, or tow truck operators more quickly to your location.
- If a storm begins to be too much for you to handle, seek refuge immediately.
- If your car should become disabled, stay with the vehicle, running your engine and heater for short intervals. Be sure to "crack" a window in the vehicle to avoid carbon monoxide build-up.
Be courteous to those awaiting your arrival:
- Call ahead to your destination just as you are leaving.
- Let someone at your destination know the license number of your vehicle, what route you'll be traveling, and give a realistic estimate of your travel time.
- If you have a cell phone, give that number to the party at your destination.
- If you have friends or family at your place of origin, you should call when you arrive to let them know you have arrived safely.
- If road conditions, tiredness, etc. delay or postpone a trip, make a phone call. Let people on both ends know of the delay.

Causes of thrombocytopenia can be classified in 3 groups; diminished production, increased destruction, and splenic sequestration. Treatment of thrombocytopenia may vary depending on the cause and the severity. What is thrombocytopenia? Thrombocytopenia is a lower than normal number of platelets in the blood. Platelets are one of the cellular components of the blood along with white and red blood cells. Platelets play an important role in clotting and bleeding. Platelets are made in the bone marrow similar to other cells in the blood. Platelets originate from megakaryocytes which are large cells found in the bone marrow. The fragments of these megakaryocytes are platelets that are released into the blood stream. The circulating platelets make up about two third of the platelets that are released from the bone marrow. The other one third is typically stored (sequestered) in the spleen. Platelets, in general, have a brief lifespan in the blood (7 to 10 days), after which they are removed from circulation. The number of platelets in the blood is referred to as the platelet count and is normally between 150,000 to 400,000 per micro liter (one millionth of a liter) of blood. Platelet counts less than 150,000 are termed thrombocytopenia. A platelet count greater than 400,000 is called thrombocytosis. Platelets iparticipate in coagulation. Platelets initiate a sequence of reactions that eventually lead to the formation of a blood clot. They circulate in the blood vessels and become activated if there is any bleeding or injury in the body. Certain chemicals are released from the injured blood vessels or other structures that signal platelets to become activated and join the other components of the system to initiate coagulation. When activated, the platelets become sticky and adhere to one another and to the blood vessel wall at the site of the injury to slow down and stop the bleeding by plugging up the damaged blood vessel or tissue (hemostasis). It is important to note even though the platelet numbers are decreased in thrombocytopenia, their function often remains completely intact. Other disorders exist that can cause impaired platelet function despite normal platelet count. A low platelet count in severe cases may result in spontaneous bleeding or may cause delay in the normal process of clotting. In mild thrombocytopenia, there may be no adverse effects in the clotting or bleeding pathways.

JP Pietersen is set to miss the remainder of the Super Rugby season.
Pietersen left the field of play in the Sharks' victory over the Force, their final tour game. Pietersen's scans revealed that the winger, who did duty at outside centre, will require surgery to rectify a groin injury.
Pietersen was playing in the 13 jersey following a serious injury to Paul Jordaan and Tim Whitehead not taking part in rugby this season to date. Pietersen's injury is a big loss for the Sharks, yet the bigger problem is which player will wear the 13 jersey this weekend against the Bulls.
The Bulls midfield combination of Jan Serfontein and JJ Engelbrecht has been in good form this season, getting over the advantage line and solid on defence as well. The Sharks are already without Pietersen in the opposition midfield, and might even be without Meyer Bosman, who broke his nose in the same match.
Bosman might yet be cleared to play, even though the Sharks can call upon Butch James this week, who might be ideal at inside centre. The problem remains with the outside centre jersey, which might fall to on loan Piet Lindeque. Lindeque is a centre by trade even though he has only been employed in the wing. With Marius Joubert also out of action due to a broken hand, the other, more audacious options include playing Tyler Fisher or Heimar Williams, both of which are yet to see Currie Cup action, never mind playing Super Rugby.
In a bit of good news from the Sharks, it seems that Bismarck du Plessis will be available for selection this week. His participation in the Bulls match is yet to be decided, for obvious reasons. Du Plessis could well use the four week break following the Bulls match to fully recover and return for the final weeks of action. With the Sharks season already finished, it would be pointless risking him in the match this weekend.

Technology at the Space
Cutting-edge technology meets artistry
Seamless 7' x 14' glass screens and ultra high-definition, rear-projection imaging systems are used to display photography with stunning clarity and saturation. The screens provide 4k resolution that exceeds the level offered by Blu-Ray. In addition to providing professional photographers a long sought after level of image quality, and displaying their art in the best light possible, it also allows for the display of thousands of images in a comparatively small location. The technology in use in the Digital Gallery was created expressly for the Photography Space. HD video shorts created to accompany the rotating exhibits and specialty programming for lunch hour visitors are other forms of digital image content being produced for viewing on the giant screens.
Microsoft Surface Tables
Microsoft Surface, the first commercially available surface computer from Microsoft Corp., turns an ordinary tabletop into a vibrant, interactive surface. The product provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects. It is a natural user interface that allows people to interact with digital content the same way they have interacted with everyday items such as photos, paintbrushes and music their entire life: with their hands, with gestures and by putting real-world objects on the surface.
At the Annenberg Space for Photography, Microsoft Surface tables, each with a 30-inch display in a table-like form, will allow patrons to go deeper into the collection, see more of an exhibition and get hands-on, literally, with the artwork.
For more information about Microsoft Surface please visit www.surface.com
Reading Room
The Space contains an area filled with books to educate and inspire visitors about the art of photography. Guests are encouraged to explore this unique art form through the many different titles available, and, in many cases, read about the very photographers featured in the current exhibit

We protect young people before they start working.
At the end of 2013, about 3.2 million children under the age of 18 were receiving an average monthly benefit of $534 because one or both of their parents are disabled, retired or deceased. When a parent becomes disabled or dies, Social Security benefits help to stabilize the family's financial future. In fact:
About 325,690 minor children of retired workers were receiving an average monthly benefit of $615.
About 1.2 million minor children of deceased workers were receiving an average monthly survivor benefit of $806.
About 1.7 million minor children of disabled workers were receiving an average monthly benefit of $328.
These cash benefits help to provide the necessities of life for family members and help to make it possible for those children to complete high school. In fact:
- About 145,623 students ages 18 and 19 were receiving an average monthly benefit of $684 at the end of 2013.
We protect disabled young adults, even if they've never worked.
An adult disabled before age 22 may be eligible for child's benefits if a parent is deceased or starts receiving retirement or disability benefits.
The "adult child"—including an adopted child, or, in some cases, a stepchild, grandchild, or step grandchild—must be unmarried, age 18 or older, and have a disability that started before age 22.
It is not necessary that the adult child ever work because benefits are paid based on the parent's earnings record. In fact:
Approximately 1 million disabled adult children were receiving an average monthly benefit of $735 at the end of 2013.
We also offer financial protection to minor children with disabilities.
Through the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, we make monthly payments to the parents or guardians of disabled children. A child younger than age 18 can qualify if he or she meets Social Security's definition of disability for children, and if his or her income and resources fall within the eligibility limits.

A major point of contention is expected to be who will be appointed to oversee the following of rules laid down by U.S. District Judge Murray Snow, The Arizona Republic reported.
Snow last month ruled the Maricopa County sheriff engaged in racial profiling, targeting Latinos in an effort to enforce federal immigration laws. Arpaio has since suspended his patrols for undocumented immigrants and immigration raids on work sites.
Tim Casey, an attorney for the sheriff's office, said he would oppose any court-appointed monitor because that would interfere with Arpaio's constitutional powers.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which represents the plaintiffs, said the monitor is essential to ensure the sheriff addresses issues identified by the judge.
Before the hearing, Snow had given each side six areas to focus on, including education and training, data collection and record retention.
Casey said Arpaio agrees more training is necessary, although who would conduct that training has yet to be determined.

West-Central Region
10149 County Hwy. 11
Chandlerville, IL 62627
Watch our new video here!
Map | Park Magazine
A 26-square mile tract
situated in the gently rolling countryside of west-central Illinois, Jim
Edgar Panther Creek State Fish & Wildlife Area is one of the
Department's largest public access areas.
A mosaic of mature
forest land, agricultural land and grassland, Jim Edgar Panther Creek
State Fish & Wildlife Area is dissected by Panther and Cox creeks
and their tributaries. In addition to 6,000 acres of timberland and 4,200
acres of prime farmland, JEPC contains a rare hill prairie. It also
is home to a rich assortment of wildlife, from endangered species that
includes Indiana bat, northern harrier and red-shouldered hawk, to
game species such as white-tailed deer, wild turkey, ring-necked pheasant and
mourning dove.
Settled and farmed
by the mid-1800s, the contiguous farmsteads that composed Jim Edgar Panther
Creek were purchased from 1968-1974 by Commonwealth Edison for development
of a coal-fired, electric-power generating plant and a 5,000-acre cooling
lake. The company named the 16,550-acre
tract "Site M" for nearby Menard County where coal to fuel the
power plant was to be mined.
Commonwealth Edison
leased about half of the acreage for cropland, and through a cooperative
agreement with the Department of Natural Resources, also provided limited
upland and forest game hunting. Through the years, hunters applying for
permits to the area became well-acquainted with the Site M name.
Commonwealth Edison
abandoned its plans to build a power plant at Site M in the 1980s, citing
decreased electrical demands, and offered the land for sale. By virtue
of its size and location, Site M became an unparalleled opportunity for
the Department of Natural Resources to address critical conservation needs
and meet outdoor recreation demands. With funds specifically designated
for conservation purposes, the state of Illinois added the acreage to
the public trust in June 1993, making Site M the largest tract ever acquired
by the Department.
Effective January
1, 2001, Panther Creek
Conservation Area was absorbed into JEPC in an effort
to avoid confusion and simplify site regulations. This brings the
total acres of JEPC to 16,550. Panther Creek CA is now known
as the West Open Unit.
Forests, confined
primarily to steep terrain, cover 6,000 acres of JEPC. Common hardwood
species include American elm, black walnut, black cherry and several types
of oaks, including white, black and bur. Because the timberland was affected
by extensive logging and grazing through the years, the Department is
managing this area to enhance its forest wildlife habitat.
Scattered pockets
of wetlands at JEPC are associated with upland depressions, farm ponds
and drainage ways. Common plants in these areas include long-leaved and
horned pondweed, duckweed, rice cutgrass, reed canary grass and bulrush,
as well as black willow. A severely degraded segment of Cox and Panther
creeks, near their confluence in the northwestern portion of the site,
has undergone stream bank stabilization and is part of a model watershed
project to improve the Illinois River system.
Because agriculture
on a lease basis is an integral management component for conservation
and fiscal purposes, about 4,200 acre of JEPC are leased as cropland to
farmers using conservation-oriented agricultural practices.
Two man-made wetlands
were constructed in 1999 as part of the road construction project. Since
1993, when the state began to manage the area, 1,200 acres of native grass,
820 acres of cool season grass, 180 acres of habitat strips, and 105 acres
of trees have been planted in land that once wasagriculture fields or
pasture. An additional 670 acres have been idled and allowed to move towards
forest through natural succession.
JEPC features hunting for
white-tailed deer, wild turkey and mourning dove, as well as upland species
(pheasant, quail, woodcock, snipe and rabbit), furbearers (raccoon, opossum,
red fox, gray fox, striped skunk and coyote) and squirrels. Season dates
and hours, permit requirements and other regulations are published in
the Illinois Digest of Hunting and Trapping Regulations, available through the Department of Natural Resources.
One notable aspect of
JEPCs hunting opportunities is its participation in the Department
of Natural Resources Quality Deer Management Program. At JEPC and other
IDNR sites designated as a Quality Deer Management Area, only antlerless
deer or deer with a minimum of four points on one side may be taken during
the archery and firearm deer seasons. The program protects 1- and 2-year-old
bucks to provide future opportunities for harvesting trophy-size deer,
while managing local herds through the taking of does and other antlerless
Six sunflower areas
are situated throughout JEPC to accommodate dove hunting. Wheat
fields in these areas are burned to attract doves. Dove hunting for
the first 10 days is by special drawing. The first five days the drawing
is by permit from Springfield. Unfilled hunter quotas are filled by site
drawing days 1-5 and the entire hunting quota on days 6-10. The site drawing
occurs at 11 A.M. daily.
The hunter check station,
located in a former farmhouse on County Highway 11, handles all
hunting administrative functions. All hunters must register at the site
office once a year and receive a free vehicle pass which allows
access to the site for the entire season.
A lottery drawing
is held at the JEPC site office to distribute non-resident archery
deer permits for one-week seasons starting the last week of October through the third week of November. Applications must be received by March 31. The specific season dates are listed on the application.

Sport fishing opportunities
are available at JEPC at Gridley Lake( 25 acres opened 1998) Prairie
Lake (210 acres, opened 2002) and Drake Lake (35 acres opened in 2003).
Several ponds within the site also have been renovated.
Stream fishes include
largemouth bass, bluegill and green sunfish, along with shiners, chubs
and minnows. In addition to the stated fish species, Prairie Lake
is stocked with muskie.

Tweny four miles of mountain
bike trail are available consisting of two loops and a connecting trail. The Prairie
Lake loop is 17 miles, the Drake Lake loop is 5 miles, and 2 miles of
trail connect the two loops. Trails are open noon to dusk April 16 - May 15 and
sunrise until sunset May 16 - October 3. November 1 - April 15
trail are closed to mountain bikes but are available for hikers.
The rolling scenic trail travereses forests and grasslanda and has many overlooks along the lake.
A 22-car/trailer parking
lot, along with a 26-mile trail, are located in the northwest corner of
JEPC on Questing Hills Road just off County Highway
2. A second
access to the equestrian trail is found at Q-4 parking lot situated
between the 9-mile north loop trail and the southern 11 and 6-mile loops.
The trail is open noon until dusk April 16 - May 15, and open sunrise to sunset May 16 - October
31. November 1 through November
15 horse trails are closed on Tuesdays and Saturdays but otherwise from dawn to dusk. Trails are closed November 16 - April 15 each
year. Call the park office before arrival to check for weather related closures.
hiking is available from parking areas positioned off public roads
throughout the site. Because unmarked, open wells may exist in the area,
caution must be used by individuals visiting JEPC.
A 3- mile hiking
and jogging trail opened fall of 1999 around the lake shore at Gridley
Lake. Seventeen miles of new hiking and mountain bike trail opened April
16, 2001 around Prairie Lake. Seven more miles of mountain bike/hiking
were opened in 2003 around Drake Lake and connecting to the Prairie Lake
trail. There are 26 miles of Equestrian Trails in three loops. The trails have a lot of elevation changes.
An outstanding example
of the original loess hill prairies of central Illinois is JEPC's Cox
Creek Hill Prairie Natural Area. The 175-acre site encompasses remnants
of scattered hill prairies composed of loess (windblown silt), which occur
within forest openings on steep terrain where soils are droughty and well-drained.
Among the plant species found on loess hill prairies are little bluestem,
side-oats grama, fringed puccoon, wild petunia and prairie dock.
Several rare Illinois
plant species grow here. The small white lady's-slipper orchid has state-endangered
status, while four other plants are listed as state-threatened species:
savanna blazing star, pale false foxglove, large-seeded mercury
and Hill's thistle.
Surveys have identified
87 species of breeding birds here as well. Among the notable residents
are eastern bluebird, orchard oriole and lark sparrow, plus 11 warbler
species, five types of woodpecker and three species of owl. Loggerhead
shrikes, a threatened species in Illinois, have been observed at the site,
as have endangered northern harriers and red-shouldered hawks.

Deon Fourie broke his hand in Saturday's warm-up match against the Kings and will miss the start of the Super Rugby competition.
The Stormers have confirmed that Fourie's hand is broken and that he will be out of action for four to six weeks. The Cape side is fortunate to have the seasoned Tiaan Liebenberg on their books, but outside of Liebenberg and Skara Ntubeni there are no other hookers with Super Rugby experience.
The good news for the Stormers is that Andries Bekker and Duane Vermeulen played 30 minutes in Saturday's match and are on course to play in the Stormers' opening Super Rugby match against the Hurricanes.
Last Saturday's game marked the comeback for both Bekker and Vermeulen since they sustained injuries in the 2011 Super Rugby competition.

Updated at 12:14 p.m. to clarify third paragraph.
Government officials this week furloughed behavioral and mental health workers, striking a blow to a military already trying to clear a backlog of mental health claims.
More than 800 behavioral and mental health appointments will be unavailable to the Marines, sailors and their families of
The federal civil service portion of the Naval Hospital's mental health directorate aboard Camp Lejeune will provide 365 outpatient appointments per week. Before the furloughs, that number was 425 appointments per week. The furloughs mean a 14-percent daily decrease in available appointments with civil service providers, according to Naval Hospital officials. The realm of the directorate consists of active duty, civil service and contractors who together see more than 1,500 patients per week. No inpatient or emergency services will be affected by the furloughs.
"At the four mental health facilities on base, for example, there are 10 mental health professionals ranging from therapists to psychologists to psychiatrists that will be furloughed," said a member of
The furloughing of government employees is a byproduct of government sequestration and affects more than 700,000 Department of Defense employees worldwide. Furloughs will cost affected employees 20 percent of their salary. Initially 22 furlough days were announced before being cut to 11.
Furlough guidance was given from high levels of the Department of Defense, said
"It was planned from the very beginning that civilian employees would be furloughed," Lane said. "They specifically said civilians providing inpatient and emergency care were exempt ... Out of 481 civilian employees we were able to exempt 149."
The exemptions include staff in the emergency room, the intensive care unit, surgery department and more.
"We're not the same hospital with the furloughs," Lane said.
The hospital will continue normal operations, but will see challenges with federal civil service employees on furlough for 20 percent of each work week, Lane said.
Some Department of Defense employees are exempt from the furloughs, such as medical personnel required to handle emergency situations and crisis intervention. Behavioral and mental health providers were not among the exemptions.
"Currently if you look at the mental health directorate it probably takes a Marine or sailor two to four weeks to get their first follow-up after their initial assessment," the worker said. "Because the full effects of the furloughs are still unknown, we estimate that the effects will be an additional week at the very minimum."
Seeing a patient once per week is the goal but now, depending on patient caseload, that may turn into once every two weeks, said the worker.
Congressman Walter Jones says that cutting mental health programs is not in the best interest of the service member. Jones, R-N.C., said men and women in uniform deserve the highest standard of healthcare and furloughing mental health workers does not provide that.
"I believe that mental health professionals provide a crucial resource for our troops, and allowing furloughs to diminish the amount of care that these individuals are able to provide will only hinder the healing process for our service members," Jones said.
The director of mental health for Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune, Navy Capt. Sawsan Ghurani, said the quality of care will not diminish.
"The patients may not get the same time and attention of sessions they might normally be accustomed to," said Ghurani who verified that all personnel connected to mental health care will be affected by furloughs. "We will do everything within our power to keep all patients in our program and provide them with high quality care."
Even before furloughs took effect, the capacity to care for patients aboard
"If anyone walks in our doors they are evaluated before they leave," said Ghurani who added that despite the shortage of 60 weekly appointments, service members who need care will get care. "That is a very stringent rule that we are not going to break under any circumstances: Everyone will get a screening if they come in and ask for help."
Ghurani said the furlough is an overall concern across the Department of Defense.
"It's difficult enough to ask for mental health care due to the stigma associated with it," she said. "What we don't want is people to think that because of the furlough we are unable to see people in crisis.
"We put the needs of our patients first."

Memorial Day weekend is in full swing and Brooklyn has you covered if you are looking to be around some beautiful black culture. If you still don't have any plans check out some of these events where the melanin will definitely be on fleek.
For many facing adolescence, the road to developing a true sense of self-identity is paved with an unfavorable amount of pain, pressure, and uncertainty.
Not too long ago, Mr. Brown, you were in a similar place as Ms. Ayeb when the media aimed to make you feel ashamed and small, so I'm sure you can understand when I say to you that your remarks on TMZ were damaging, ignorant and unnecessarily part of this unhealthy cycle of mocking the mentally ill.
Philadelphia has a long history as an incubator for social justice activism, from the abolition of slavery to the Black Power movement. Moreover, with its high unemployment and poverty, low wages, and high incarceration rate, the city could become another Baltimore.
I believe Ambassador Haley's place in American history should be more prominent. For a man who made American history six times, Ambassador Haley never spoke of his accomplishments or the past preferring to concentrate on the future.
If one looks only at individuals with a bachelor's degree, the black unemployment rate still approaches twice that of the white unemployment rate. One reason? Because individual effort on the part of black workers cannot change the minds of the remaining discriminatory employers.
When former Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick stood before the Morehouse College Class of 2015 to deliver his commencement address, he joined a host of notable black men, who, in recent years have ascended to the heights of American public service and have too charged black men and boys to be exceptional.
While we may speak similarly as another from the same culture, a racially monolithic way of talking is simply not possible. We deserve to give each other room for cultural background and experience, and should not force each other to conform into our conceptions of their group.
With the sermon on the mount and the Beatitudes in mind, we have to ask ourselves. What would Jesus do if He lived today and His community was being oppressed and killed by those in power?
Even when we disagree, we owe it to each other to push the discourse with researched rigor, not just anecdotal evidence or conceptions that can often guise logical fallacies.
I can go on and on about how the life of 20-year-old O'Shea Jackson, aka Ice Cube was similar to every other 20-year-old black man in Amerikkka, I mean, America. The lessons he learned and the messages he portrayed exhibited on this album can still be heard today.
When I see the video of panic-stricken Toya Graham, I see myself, and all the other Black mothers who are desperate to keep our children physically, spiritually and emotionally safe in a society that doesn't honor their childhood. It's a special desperation known mostly by the oppressed.
The April riots in Baltimore, Maryland, were shocking, but in retrospect, should not have been a surprise. The tensions between the police officers and African Americans living in segregated, inner-city communities have been festering for decades.
Despite these understandable challenges, I do believe now is the time for us to engage in menstrual hygiene advocacy, for ourselves as well as for women and girls around the world. Our silence about menstruation has kept us psychologically and reproductively sick.
Someone must issue a moral call to arms to reclaim the banner of decency, moral outrage, and nonviolence to save our children. Yes, young black men are our children.
I have grown to love my features, not because the whims of fleeting trends tell me that I am allowed to, but because wishing to be anything different is an affront to who I am. Because there is something beautiful in the curves and hues that contribute to the woman I see in the mirror.
It's hard for me to celebrate on Mother's Day. I feel the absence of my 23-year-old son, Sean Elijah Bell, who was killed on November 25, 2006. He was out celebrating at his own bachelor party with his friends in New York City. It was only a matter of a hours before his wedding, and I was so thrilled.
Despite poetic mantras championing the American Dream and romanticized ideas of equality regarding race, gender and sexuality -- laws were not instituted to protect or factor morality.

You've saved your pennies for a trek to Everest Base Camp. In the Himalayas, your nagging headache and exhaustion turn into severe altitude sickness. A sherpa tries to strap you to the back of a yak for a quick descent, but you resist when you deliriously realize that the yak is actually a fearsome yeti who has eaten your nose.
The yak takes you to a small village, where your new sherpa pal asks you if you have the money to pay for a helicopter evacuation to the hospital in Kathmandu. You pull out your thin wallet and he shakes his head.
"You should've bought travel insurance," says the sherpa. You'll be paying off that $10,000 medical evacuation bill for a very long time.
Travel insurance is an essential precaution for even the most mundane excursion, but is often overlooked when planning an overseas trip for good reason: it can add hundreds of dollars to a total holiday budget, making it prohibitive for many travelers.
But now -- thanks to requests from frequent business travelers -- some insurance companies are offering annual multi-trip policies, making the cost of travel insurance affordable for even the most budget-minded international travelers.
The new basic annual policies cost around $200 a year. Coverage and limits vary by company, so it's important to inspect and compare the benefits of each plan carefully. Most include trip cancellation, baggage loss and medical evacuation insurance.
Students, teachers and travelers under 26 are eligible for the International Student Identity Card.
American Express Travel Medical Protection offers higher benefits for cardholders of any age for $99 a year for trips under 31 days. Enrollment is no longer available online, so you must call 1-800-297-2900 for details.
Now there's no need to GoNOMAD without travel insurance again. After all, you never know when you might be stuck in a hut at Everest Base Camp with a yeti in need of immediate evacuation.

Quality profiles
Sonar is designed to handle multiple coding rules engines (currently Checkstyle, PMD and Findbugs). Rather than managing each of those rules engines separately, Sonar manages what we call quality profiles.
A quality profile is made of two elements :
- a set of configured rules that Sonar is going to use during the analysis phase
- a set of alerts on metrics
Sonar is able to manage multiple quality profiles that can be associated to projects. When no profile is associated to a project, Sonar uses the default profile.
It is possible to use the checkstyle, pmd and FindBugs rules definitions in other application by using permalinks :
It is possible to add new rules to the default one, either by Developing a new plugin or by Extending coding rules.
Create a profile
In order to create a new profile, first sign in and go to the configuration top right option.
There are 2 ways in Sonar to create a new quality profile. Once the profile is created, you can add alerts to it (Edit alerts) and associate projects to it (Edit associated projects).
Copy an existing profile
In order to copy an existing profile, click on the copy button next to the profile you want to copy. You are prompted to give the name of the new profile.
The profile is the exact copy of the copied one. You can then make changes to the profile.
Create a new profile
In order to create a new profile, click on the create profile button.
Enter the name of the profile. You then have the possibility to upload existing Checkstyle, PMD and FindBugs files. This allows you to save configuration time. Then click on create.
Edit coding rules
In order to edit coding rules, sign in, click on the configuration option at the top right of the page.
Then click on the name of the profile you want to edit.
You can search the rule you want to modify by using the search engine at the top.
When you have found the rule to change, you can activate or deactivate it, change its priority level, configure parameters of the rules.
Edit alerts
To manage alerts configuration for the profile, click on the number of alerts defined for the profile.
From there it is possible to full manage alerts, by adding new one editing or deleting existing alerts. The principle is the following :
- Choose the metric you are interested in
- Choose an operator (is greater than, is less than)
- Choose the value that will trigger a warning
- Choose the value that will trigger an error
Any change to alerts will be used when the next analysis is performed
Edit associated projects
To manage the projects associated to a profile, click on the number of projects defined for the profile.
The projects associated to a profile will appear in the right hand box. It is possible to move projects around by selecting them and use one of the 4 actions listed. A project can be associated to only one profile at the time. When a project is not explicitly associated to a quality profile, Sonar will use the default quality profile to perform the next analysis.
Delete a profile
In order to delete a profile, sign in, click on the configuration option at the top right of the page.
Then click on the delete button associated to the profile to delete and confirm. When deleting a profile, it will delete the alerts defined in the profile and will remove the association of projects. If nothing else is done , Sonar will use the default profile to perform the next analysis on the (ex-)associated projects.
Extend coding rules
Checkstyle and PMD provide extension mechanisms to develop your own coding rules. Tutorials to write such custom coding rules are available online for both Checkstyle and PMD. You can for instance define your own naming conventions, forbid access to a given API or anything else that is relevant in your context.
Once this is done, you must feed the Sonar web server with those coding rules extensions. Here are the process to follow for both Checkstyle and PMD coding rules.
The Checkstyle coding rules must be packaged in a JAR file and this file must be copy in the $SONAR_HOME/extensions/rules/checkstyle/ directory.
A XML file must then be created in the same $SONAR_HOME/extensions/rules/checkstyle/ directory to "index" all available custom rules implemented in the JAR file. The name of this XML file doesn't matter but the .xml suffix must be used.
This XML file must look like the following example :
The PMD coding rules must be packaged in a JAR file and this file must be copy in the $SONAR_HOME/extensions/rules/pmd/ directory. Moreover, the JAR file must also contain the PMD ruleset XML file (in the following example, this XML file will be available through the classloader with the following path : rulesets/myruleset.xml)
A XML file must then be created in the same $SONAR_HOME/extensions/rules/pmd/ directory to "index" all available custom rules implemented in the JAR file. The name of this XML file doesn't matter but the .xml suffix must be used.
This XML file must look like the following example :
A full example is published in sonar sources. See the XML file and the Maven project . Note that two PMD sample rules are implemented, one with XPath and one in Java.

My face when he said that
not as efficient as a pick and roll. he's right.
of course, players like kobe and shaq can deal with double teams, but like he said, that usually has the teams best defender guarding them.
the pick and roll creates mismatches, spreads the floor, and gets easier shots. mike was referring to the post up plays where the ball is dumped in and the team stands around. double/triple teams, forced shots, and a crowded paint.

When Bob Norris put on his jump suit and stepped into his parachute harness this past Sunday at Triangle Skydiving Center in Louisburg, the realization set in of what he was about to do.
"At about that time I started getting a little nervous," he said.
Norris, 80, of New Bern, a 10-year cancer survivor, said he started thinking of skydiving as another challenge for his "bucket list," but nothing inspired him to do it.
For about a year he thought it over. Then he started thinking about how he lost his wife five years ago; his son three months ago; and three friends this year, all to cancer.
Norris used to drive his three friends to Duke Cancer Center for chemotherapy and radiation treatment as a member of the American Cancer Society's Road to Recovery Program.
"I was really tired of losing friends and family," Norris said. "I would just like to see if maybe money I could raise might in some way help find a cure for it."
Norris stood at the wide doors of the Twin Otter jump plane hooked to Greg Upper, his skydiver instructor and tandem partner.
"The whole time the wind was rushing by me like crazy," he said.
Before boarding the plane, Upper told him what to expect: a 120-mph freefall for 60 seconds.
"I've been on a motorcycle doing 100, but this was completely different," Norris said.
At 13,500 feet, Upper jumped out the door with Norris. As they dropped they picked up speed.
"You feel almost buoyed by the air," Norris said, "but you know you are dropping because of the wind."
The wind was so loud at 120 mph it was hard to hear Upper, Norris said.
After 60 seconds of falling through the screaming wind, Upper pulled the ripcord.
"Suddenly it's very quiet," Norris said. "We are just floating there. It is almost surreal. It is so quiet compared to the dive."
Upper said he handed Norris the steering toggles and let him steer a bit.
"He decided that he just wanted to enjoy the view and take it all in so I took control of the parachute," Upper said in an email.
While they slowly floated to Earth, Upper pointed out Raleigh in the distance and all of the sites.
"He said, 'Do you want to do any spins or loops or anything?" Norris said. "I said, 'I don't think so, maybe next time.' I could see everybody on the ground waiting for me. They were all screaming and hollering."
After the five-minute parachute ride, Upper made a last-minute wide loop.
"It was almost like we were on a string," Norris said. "You're at the end of the string and someone is spinning you around."
They landed almost on target.
"When we landed he said, 'Let's do it again,'" Upper said.
"I was relieved," Norris said. "It was fun and interesting."
Norris' grandchildren, great grandchildren and daughter-in-law rushed over and hugged him.
"It was great," he said.
Upper said he has taken several senior citizens skydiving and they all get a thrill from it.
"I've personally taken six people (skydiving) over the age of 75 and almost all of them say the same thing: 'I wish I hadn't waited so long to try it.'"
Upper said Norris was amazing.
"He may be 80 years old on paper, but he has the heart and spirit of a young man," he said.
Before leaving Triangle Skydiving Center, Norris was given a logbook and certificate saying he had completed his first skydive.
"It won't be my last," he said.
Anyone wishing to make a donation may do so by making a check to Duke Cancer Institution at 512 S. Mangum St. Durham, NC 27710. On the check or outside envelop, write Skydive for Duke, or if you call 919-385-3120 or email: www.dukecancerfund.org.

Waster of Money
By tabster
from oklahoma city, ok
My son works outdoors. I purchased these so his hands would stay warm during the winter. They are so bulky you cannot do anything. As for the battery compartment, attaching the battery is a chore, it does not want to stay attached. Waste of money, useless gloves.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not So Hot
By Rosemary
from Bellmawr, NJ
My husband requested these specific gloves to use when he does his daily walk. He expected the fingers of the gloves to get warm, but they don't. Only the band at the wrist is supposed to get warm, but that did not happen either. The gloves were returned.
the gloves work, great!
