Polling began on a lukewarm note in the bypoll to Tiruchirapalli West Assembly constituency, the first direct face off between arch rivals AIADMK and DMK ahead of next week's civic polls.
DMK local strongman and former minister K N Nehru and AIADMK former legislator M Paramjothi will be testing their fortunes in a keenly anticipated electoral battle, necessitated due to AIADMK minister Mariam Pitchai's death in a mishap.
A total of 2,08,427 voters are eligible to exercise their franchise, with 1,05,497 women outnumbering men.
Tight security was in place to ensure free and fair polling, with the Election Commission deploying Central Armed Police Force and three Central Observers to keep a hawk-eyed vigil in the key constituency.

Local authorities in a southern Chinese city on Saturday scrapped a plan to build a uranium-processing plant, a day after hundreds of local residents protested against it owing to safety concerns.
The city government of Heshan in Guangdong province said in an online statement that it would halt the 37 billion yuan ($6 billion) project by China National Nuclear Corp., which would have built facilities for uranium conversion, enrichment and manufacturing of nuclear fuel equipment.
"The people's government of the city of Heshan has decided to respect the public opinion and will not consider CNNC's Longwan industrial park project," read the one-line announcement.
CNNC could not be immediately reached for comment, but its plans are part of national efforts to reduce China's reliance on coal and to boost the use of clean energy.
In March, the corporation signed agreements with the Heshan government regarding both land use and investment for the industrial park, according to state media.
The Saturday's decision by Heshan government came after hundreds of protesters paraded through the streets of Jiangmen on Friday, holding banners and wearing T-shirts with phrases opposing the project while chanting slogans. "Give us back our rural homes. We are against nuclear radiation," they shouted in scenes seen in television video.
Local officials initially responded by extending the consultation period by another 10 days, but by Saturday morning they said the plan was scrapped.
Increasingly aware of environmental safety, members of the Chinese public have been taking to the streets to oppose environmentally risky projects, and local governments have yielded under public pressure in some cases by scrapping the projects, postponing them or relocating them.
It also shows that the Chinese public has no other effective venue but street protests which can turn violent to voice their concerns. Environmentalists have long called on local governments to take steps allowing for greater transparency and better public involvement when introducing projects that may be environmentally risky.

Cheney undergoes angioplast to clear blocked artery
Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- Vice President Dick Cheney underwent surgery Monday to reopen a partially blocked artery after checking into a hospital with chest pains. It was the same artery that had been cleared last November after his fourth heart attack.
There was no evidence that Cheney had suffered another heart attack, said his cardiologist, Dr. Jonathan Reiner. The doctor also said he did not believe Cheney had suffered more heart damage, though the vice president was spending the night at the hospital for observation.
Cheney, 60, had quickly resumed a full schedule after a heart attack and follow-up surgery last November.
"There is a very high likelihood he can finish out his term in his fully vigorous capacity," the doctor said after Monday's procedure, an angioplasty. But he added, "He has chronic heart and artery disease."
Reiner said there was a 40 percent risk the artery would narrow again. He said Cheney could be released from the hospital as early as today and be back to work this week.
President Bush, playing down his top adviser's latest health scare, called the surgery "a precautionary measure." Bush spoke by telephone to Cheney, who reported from the hospital that he was feeling fine and looking forward to returning to work, the White House said.
Cheney is an unusually active and influential vice president. He headed Bush's transition team, played a major role in Cabinet and top personnel selections, and has helped Bush forge foreign policy as well as a national energy policy. White House officials say Cheney is the adviser Bush most relies upon to make sure his agenda is carried out.
His hospitalization came less than a week after the president's first address to Congress, just as Bush is trying to generate attention and support for his tax-cut plan.
White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said there was no word on when Cheney will return to work. "That'll be a judgment the vice president will make (today) with his doctors," he said.
Cheney checked himself into George Washington University Hospital, about six blocks west of the White House, after feeling chest pain on Saturday and Sunday and then again, twice, on Monday, Reiner said.
He said the episodes were "much milder and very brief" when compared with the chest pains that Cheney suffered in November. "The symptoms were subtle" this time, Reiner said.
Cheney attended a birthday party for Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan on Sunday night, capping a weekend in which he and his wife moved into the vice president's residence on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory. They also sold their townhouse in McLean, Va.
In Monday's angioplasty, doctors inserted a flexible tube into the narrowed artery carrying a collapsed balloon. Once the balloon was in place, it was inflated, reopening the artery.
During the procedure last November, one of Cheney's heart arteries was 90 percent blocked, so doctors implanted a wire scaffolding-like device called a stent to push away the blockage and prop open the artery walls.

He has been doing really well until this week when he got a cough and has been finding it very hard to breath, well today he couldn't even get up out of his chair so he has been admitted to hospital.
I have just had a phone call from my auntie and he has got pneumonia, not good.
He has been put on drips for antibiotic and steridos, the doctor seems to think he will be ok to come home on Friday but we will wait and see.
I'll keep you all updated as I know more.

Klong Yai Kee Waterfall or in Thai language Nam Tok Khlong Yai Ki is smaller than the Klong Chao Waterfall but certainly not less beautiful. It's located in the North West of Koh Kood and offers a nice spot for swimming and relaxing in nature.
To get there just follow the road that leads to Soneva Kiri, Bann Makok or Captain Hook Resort and you'll see the signs on your right.
You can also enter the Klong Yai Ki Canal by kayak coming from Klong Yai Ki Bay and from the canal it's a walk of 200m which is a beautiful trip!
Khlong Yai Kee Bay is stunning with a white sandy beach that's abandoned most of the time with very clear sea water, a perfect place to watch the sunset!
The waterfall flows all year round but the best time to visit is from August till January.
Please keep in mind that there are no shops around.

Sean Connery was warned at the start of his acting career that his trademark Edinburgh accent was too "off-putting" for him to ever make it big, it has been revealed.
Acclaimed director and producer Alvin Rakoff gave Connery his big acting break in the 1950s as washed-up boxer Harlan McClintock in BBC drama Requiem for a Heavyweight.
Now 87, Rakoff admitted that he almost passed over him for the role because Connery was "never destined for bigger things" as long as he held on to his Scottish accent, the Scotsman reported.
The director said that Connery had been a walk-on for him and others in many live TV dramas in the mid-1950s, but they steered clear of giving him roles with much dialogues because of his accent.
It was a thick Scottish brogue and they felt it wouldn't work well with the productions they were making. In fact, they thought it would be off-putting and distracting, and difficult for viewers to understand, he added.

Indian migrants will be one of the largest communities in this country in the next 15 years when Australia-born families will become a minority group, a media report said on Sunday, citing statistics from a consulting firm.
Outnumbered by a surging wave of migrants from Europe and Asia, especially India and China, Australians will become a minority group in their own country within 15 years, Australia-based Daily Telegraph reported, quoting figures from demographic consultants MacroPlan Australia.
It said most migrants came from Britain (14.2 per cent), followed by New Zealand (11.4 per cent), India (11.2), China (10.5) South Africa (5.3) and the Philippines (4.1).
"Figures from MacroPlan Australia show record overseas migration, and an ageing population means migrant families will overtake the number of locally born residents by 2025 — far sooner than previously imagined," the newspaper reported.
According to the 2006 census data, 40 per cent of Australia's population was either born overseas or had at least one parent who was born abroad. With the current immigration levels, that proportion will jump to over 50 per cent by 2025.
The newly appointed and the first Population Minister, Tony Burke, now faces the task of managing the influx of migrants, expected to swell the population from 22 million to 36 million by 2050.
In a survey of 3,000 people conducted after Mr. Burke was sworn in, 70 per cent of Australians said they do not want a bigger population. Fewer than a quarter favoured immigration as the main contributor.
But experts said a migrant majority will be healthy for Australian culture and attitude.
"It all adds to the cosmopolitan nature of modern Australia," KPMG demographer Bernard Salt said. "It means our views become less blinkered, and we become more tolerant, confident, engaged, opportunistic and optimistic because we are open to new ideas, not obsessed with keeping things the same."
MacroPlan chief executive Brian Haratsis said Australians tended to "stare at our shoes and say we're the best in the world."
"While immigration needs to be managed with better infrastructure, we also need high immigration for sound economic reasons — if we don't, we'll all end up paying higher taxes."
Bob Birrell, co-director of the Centre for Population and Urban Research and reader in sociology at the Monash University, said the ratio of foreign-born residents was already higher in Sydney and Melbourne because they were the two most popular destinations for new arrivals.
"We're getting lots more Indian and Chinese immigrants coming to study, but many of those will end up settling here," Mr. Birrell said.
The Federal government estimates that cutting immigration from 2,80,000 to its target of 1,80,000 will result in a population of 36 million by 2050.
But it also means the number of working taxpayers will halve in relation to the number of people aged over 65. Mr. Salt said there would be more Iraqi and Afghan migrants.

From the Rector/President
My name is Fr. Robert Barron and I am the Rector/President of the University of Saint Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary. I am pleased to know that you are discerning priesthood and are considering Mundelein for your formation. A good resource to learn more about the seminary is our new website. This site is a great window into the life and mission of America's largest seminary. Please be assured of my prayers and those of the seminary community as you consider this decision.
When I became Rector in July 2012 I declared that the work of Mundelein would be focused on producing priests for the New Evangelization. Accordingly, the study and practice of evangelizing an increasingly secularized culture are now the principal concerns of both our students and our faculty.
In support of this effort we have implemented a new structure for our program of formation. The students will now be led along the three great spiritual paths: finding the center, knowing that you are a sinner, and realizing that your life is not about you. The ultimate purpose of this re-configuration is to produce priests who are deeply in love with Jesus Christ, who have come to terms with their attachments, addictions, and sin, and who are, consequently, ready to be sent on mission.
We implemented an academic cirriculum to support the formation of priests for the New Evangelization. The M.Div. program sychronizes academics with the formation program, creating what we call "integral formation." Our faculty has intentionally rejected the so-called "university model," which separates spirituality and theology. Instead, we have embraced a patristic vision according to which head and heart are united.
I want to assure you that we are thrilled to be doing seminary work precisely at this challenging time in the history of the Church. We are delighted to play a role in providing priests for the New Evangelization. Please pray for all of us here at Mundelein, and know that we keep you close in prayer every day.

Let his inspiration be a call to action
I feel the same, but I hope I am wrong. As I reflect on Mandela's life and legacy, I am reminded of perhaps his greatest example to us all -- forgiveness. Imprisoned for 27 years, much of it hard labor, he forgave his adversaries, even reached out to them in peace and collaboration upon his release. I admit I've clung to anger and resentment for far less egregious offenses.
For years, I've visited our county's elementary and middle schools, encouraging children to stay in school, to set goals and achieve them, and to take responsibility for their actions. I've also been encouraging them to be kind and forgiving to themselves and others.
Just as Mandela's life has inspired me and millions of others, I hope my words impact even a few of the students I've met over the years. No matter who influences us during our lives, we should remember that inspiration is not merely a feeling, but a call to action.
We may never again see somebody who embodies all of Mandela's good qualities, but we can all strive to be our best for ourselves and for others. It is all anyone can ask of a person -- and it is everything Mandela would ask of us.

COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö An ongoing water issue at Tri-Lakes Park has kept Whitley County Health Department officials searching for answers.
Water in the park bathrooms was deemed contaminated after a failed water test. Scott Wagner, environmental health specialist for the county, said the issue may have been caused by a deteriorated well casing.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve had the well tested and have done several things to try and solve the problem,ŌĆØ Wagner told County Commissioners Monday. ŌĆ£At this point, the only way to get water to the park is to drill a new well.ŌĆØ
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö An announcement was made at MondayŌĆÖs Whitley County Commissioners meeting that The Oaks and The Pointe have been sold and will no longer be managed by Parkview Whitley Hospital.
In February, a press release was issued by the hospital stating its intentions to search for a buyer.
Pete Mallers, a legal representative of the hospital, told commissioners that BVM Whitley County LLC, is purchasing the business and real estate attached to The Oaks and The Pointe.
CHURUBUSCO ŌĆö Clerk-Treasurer Madalyn Sade-Bartl reported to Churubusco Town Council members that 36 residents have signed up for the town-wide garage sale, slated for Sept. 27 and 28.
This is the second year for the sale, and Sade-Bartl said the turnout so far is ŌĆ£outstanding.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£We always have a lot of people sign up at the last minute,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£That number is going to grow considerably.ŌĆØ
Last year, more than 70 garage sales occurred throughout Churubusco. The event brings countless shoppers to the town, supporting Churubusco merchants.
CHURUBUSCO ŌĆö Members of ChurubuscoŌĆÖs Town Council have been anxiously waiting to make an official announcement about a new business relocating to the town.
In June, town leaders discussed an incentive to ensure that Inwelligent Healthcare Inc. would move itŌĆÖs medical operations from Boston to Churubusco, bringing with it the opportunity for new jobs.
However, after months of waiting, a state incentive is still in the process of being awarded to the company.
SOUTH WHITLEY ŌĆö When a business considered moving into South Whitley, town leaders worked with the Whitley County Economic Development Corporation to come up with a solution to acquire the former Dwyer building on First Street.
A zero-interest loan was applied for that would allow the town to lease the facility to the incoming business.
However, when the business backed out, the town was faced with a decision ŌĆö to go forward with the loan process to purchase the building or not.
Columbia City High SchoolŌĆÖs Youth Council joined Columbia City Mayor Ryan Daniel (front) in a proclamation against texting and driving in the Council Chambers Monday morning.
The council, pictured from left: Hannah Cotter, Kiersten Thomas, Stacy Quinn, Eryn Schinbeckler, Gabby Anglin, Brett Roberts, Emily Temple, Chase Emmert and Morghan Wilcoxson. Not pictured: Hunter LaRue.
WHITLEY COUNTY ŌĆö Despite testing difficulties and internet connection issues, ISTEP+ results have been released for local schools.
The testing, which occurred earlier this year, was fraught with problems for students who took it online.
Test-takers had difficulty connecting to the server, and at other times, students would be kicked off of the testing website at random.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö ItŌĆÖs slated to be an ŌĆ£extremely beneficialŌĆØ fair for seniors.
The Whitley County Council on AgingŌĆÖs Senior Fair is set for Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Woodlands Senior Center in Columbia City.
Jackie Hake, the centerŌĆÖs director, said the fair will feature 35 vendors and several free screenings and health services.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve labeled this as food, fun and freebies,ŌĆØ Hake said. ŌĆ£The fair is free. There are so many things for the seniors to take part in. They will also get a lot of free information and things to take home with them.ŌĆØ
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Last year, Whitley County saw the formation of an autism support group, and families joined together to raise awareness and funds for the group through a one-mile walk.
Now, the Whitley County Autism Support Group is hosting the walk for a second year, and the eventŌĆÖs organizers are hoping for more community involvement.
The Whitley County Walk for Autism will be Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Whitley County YMCA, 950 E. Van Buren St. in Columbia City.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Volunteers took on a variety of community service projects as part of the United Way of Whitley CountyŌĆÖs Day of Caring Tuesday.
Executive Director Cindy Baker greeted volunteers at a breakfast before the work began.
ŌĆ£This is about helping people,ŌĆØ Baker said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs why I do what I do and why we are doing this today.ŌĆØ
Whitley CountyŌĆÖs Day of Caring came to fruition 10 years ago. The concept of giving back to communities was already in existence in neighboring counties when Star Financial Bank Market President David Smith thought to bring the day to Whitley County.

So TIME's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world is out, and there is already a good deal of commentary dealing with the very real issue of the under-representation of women on the list (38 made the final tally, compared with 61 guys, and one group). But there is another set of individuals that is even more absent among TIME's list of the world's movers and shakers: working fathers.
Among the women who made the list, I counted more than 10 percent who, in the TIME writeup detailing their reason for inclusion, mentioned that they were mothers. There was surprise bestseller E.L. James ("a mother of two"), Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg ("a devoted, hands-on mother of two"), Saudi women's advocate Manal al-Sharif ("a divorced mother of two") and actress Viola Davis ("This acknowledgment speaks to the richness of her soul and how she has carried out her life as a mother, wife and actress.")
None of the 61 men were mentioned as fathers.
I'm not so delusional that I believe that the simple act of being a really good parent, though important, puts someone in the running for the TIME 100. But the inclusion of parenting status in stories about powerful females sends a subtle message: these women can do it all. They can be acknowledged as mothers and as world-beating superstars. The correlary for working men is not so empowering. Though many — if not most — of those 61 TIME 100 guys are also fathers (think Mitt Romney, Warren Buffett, Matt Lauer, Barack Obama), fatherhood is a not a central part of the public profile of any one of them.
This isn't a knock against TIME. I'm quite certain that Harvey Weinstein (father of four), doesn't list "dad" on his business card, and the fact that Anthony Kennedy, the swing vote on the Supreme Court, has three children isn't the most important thing that TIME readers need to know about him. I'm sure many influencers on the list got there by choosing work over family. But, on balance, the utter lack of high-profile men for whom fatherhood is a part of their core identity is discouraging to active fathers who think they can change the world and change the diaper. That's not to say that if Matt Lauer suddenly walked away from his mammoth contract to spend more time with the kids, my life would be transformed, but every little bit helps.
I have some faith, though, in the next generation. Surveys continually show that the men of Generation Y are more interested in finding creative ways of blending work and family, though whether such ideals can be maintained into middle age is still to be seen. (Asking a single 22-year-old what parenthood holds is like asking me what the surface of the moon is like: you really don't know until you see it for yourself).
Until then, I'll keep looking for signs that the most important men in the world also take carpool duty or the midnight bottle feeding. Because — with all due respect to TIME — that would really be influential.

"I was in need of a company to repair my gutters. They are the original gutters since 1988 and they looked awful. I called Bay Area Paint and Tile company and spoke to the owner to get a bid. He did the bid in two days and followed through on everything that I had asked for. His crew came out, and in three days my gutters looked great. All nice and strait, corners fixed, all holes filled, pressure washed primed and painted. Crew was very helpful and courteous as was the owner. I would recommend this company for a lot of jobs. I will be calling them again for other jobs to my home."
Mrs. Sullivan
"The interior of my home in Santa Fe, Texas was painted by Johnny Saenz, Bay Area Paint & Tile and the outcome was beautiful and the price was very competitive.
Johnny's crew of painters worked at a steady pace and were very considerate by working quietly due to my night shift work schedule. Johnny was also very helpful by offering his insight and experience with my selection of paints and color schemes.
Another thing that I liked was that I was very comfortable with trusting his crew while they worked in my home.
The interior of my home was admired by visitors on this past Mother's Day and they were so excited for me and my family. I highly recommend Bay Area Paint & Tile."
Sonya Mcardle, Interior Painting
"We had been having severe mildew/mold on the ceilings of our front and rear patios of our home. Last April I contacted several painters to give recommendations on how to solve the problem. One of the bids I obtained was from Bay Area Paint & Tile. Johnny Saenz spent a significant amount of time determining the causes of the mildew/mold and even had samples analyzed to determine the best treatment, primer and paint to address the problem. The other bids we received were to power wash and repaint as before without any consideration of the severe problems I had. I decided to go with Bay Area Paint & Tile and was very pleased with the results. The job was completed quickly and the patios look great. They were very concerned with keeping the area clean and with no paint getting on the brick or patio. The patios look great and remain free of any mildew and mold.
This spring I decided to repaint the remainder of the house. Once again Johnny Saenz spent an extended time walking the house with me and documenting in detail the complete job scope. The crew did an excellent job. They were very courteous and completed the job quickly and protected the non-painted areas, which was very important to me. The house looks great. It looks better now than when it was new. I can highly recommend Bay Area Paint & Tile."
Ronnie H. in Texas City, TX
"We recently had a need to have a leaky window repaired & the back fence replaced at a rental home owned by my late father-in-law's estate before the house is sold. Once again we called Bay Area Paint & Tile...not only because Johnny Saenz is a friend of mine, but because he & his crew have done quality work for us in the past. From painting interior rooms in our house to installing flooring just a couple of months ago. When we're ready to have something else done we will be calling Johnny again. Thanks to you guys for doing such good work."

William Henry "Bill" Gates III (born October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington) is an American business magnate, computer programmer and philanthropist. Gates is the former chief executive officer (CEO) and current chairman of Microsoft, the world's largest personal-computer software company he co-founded with Paul Allen. He is consistently ranked among the world's wealthiest people and was the wealthiest overall from 1995 to 2009, excluding 2008, when he was ranked third; in 2011 he was the wealthiest American and the second wealthiest person. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of CEO and chief software architect, and remains the largest individual shareholder, with 6.4 percent of the common stock. He has also authored or co-authored several books.
Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Gates has been criticized for his business tactics, which have been considered anti-competitive, an opinion which has in some cases been upheld by the courts. In the later stages of his career, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.

|Activity involvement and place attachment of fish giggers in the Missouri Ozarks
|Rochon, Bryon G., 1976-
|fish gigging ;giggers
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Despite being an integral part of Ozark culture for nearly 200 years, little is known about fish gigging and those who participate in this activity. A mail-back survey was administered to 1,011 licensed Missouri anglers who lived in one of seven zip codes adjacent to the Current and Jacks Fork Rivers. These rivers comprise the Ozark National Scenic Riverways (ONSR) and also represent prime locations for this fishing activity. The questionnaire measured demographics, activity style/preference, activity involvement (AI), place attachment (PA), and favorite fishing locations. A total of 404 fish giggers completed the survey, resulting in a 39.7% response rate. The purposes of this study were to obtain baseline information about fish giggers in the Missouri Ozarks, evaluate the efficacy of competing AI and PA scales, and interpret giggers' AI and PA scores in light of activity style/preference groupings. Interpretation of confirmatory factor analysis fit statistics suggested that further evaluation and refinement of the AI and PA scales is needed. Descriptive statistics and hypotheses tests both supported and contradicted previous research, suggesting that fish giggers are a unique segment of the angling population in Missouri. The nature of responses emphasized the importance of fish gigging and the ONSR to support meaningful social relationships. Furthermore, these findings lend support for using market segmentation techniques to evaluate recreational anglers. Managerial implications are discussed for state and federal resource management agencies.

The Visiting Professor Program at UCSF is described as a national model for research training that promotes the success of scientists conducting innovative research in minority communities in a paper appearing in the April 2009 issue of the American Journal of Public Health.
The program, based at the UCSF Center for AIDS Prevention Studies, known as CAPS, has been funded by the National Institutes of Health as the Collaborative HIV Prevention Research in Minority Communities Program since 1996. It has provided training, mentoring and technical assistance to 40 visiting racial and ethnic minority professors from universities in the continental United States and Puerto Rico who conduct social and behavioral HIV/AIDS prevention research.
"Our program graduates have been very successful in competing for NIH and other types of funding to support their research. The program is multi-year, includes both summer institutes and ongoing mentoring, and promotes networking among program participants resulting in many successful collaborative projects. While our program focuses on HIV prevention research, the model is applicable to many areas of scientific inquiry," said the paper's co-author, Olga Grinstead Reznick, PhD, professor emeritus at the UCSF CAPS and former director of the UCSF Visiting Professor Program.
During and after their participation in the program, current and past visiting professors have amassed over $50 million in research funding and have generated over 425 scientific publications and technical reports aimed at halting the spread of HIV in communities of color.
"The visiting scientists are underrepresented in academia, yet come from and work in racial and ethnic minority communities disproportionately impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. A unique feature of this program is that visiting professors from racial and ethnic minority groups come to the UCSF CAPS, the leading social science-focused HIV prevention ce

Construction begins on Blake Bottom Road bridgePublished 10:50am Wednesday, July 24, 2013
By Aldo Amato
Staff Reporter
MADISON COUNTY — Construction on one Madison County road has caused minor traffic headaches already.
Workers began bridge demolition on Indian Creek bridge on July 22 on Blake Bottom Road. The now demolished bridge had been in the county since the early 1930′s and the new bridge will take around 4 months to build.
"We know this will be an inconvenience but when complete this new bridge will be safer and more suitable to handle the almost 11,000 vehicles that daily drive across Indian Creek bridge," Madison County Commissioner Phil Vandiver said. "Please, bare with us and we promise to encourage the contractor to complete construction, as soon as possible. We realize progress can be painful but the improvement and investment are warranted."
The site is 0.10 miles from Jeff Road and signs are in place to direct drivers to alternate routes along Bishop, Indian Creek, Old Monrovia, Douglass or Jeff Roads. Madison County Commission Information Director Missy Ming-Smith said around 11,000 travelers use the road each day and urges travelers to select an alternate route.

Manchester City soccer striker Carlos Tevez was today sentenced to 250 hours of community service for driving while disqualified and without insurance, the British Broadcasting Corp. reported.
The 29-year-old Argentine national team player also received a six-month driving ban and a 1,000-pound ($1,511) fine after pleading guilty to the offenses at Macclesfield Magistrates' Court in northwest England. Driving while disqualified can carry a jail term of up to six months.
Tevez played for Boca Juniors in Argentina and Brazil's Corinthians before moving in 2006 to West Ham, where his goals helped the London team avoid relegation from the Premier League.
A year later he switched to Manchester United where he won two league titles, and in 2009 he moved to City, which won the league last year.

Boquete Country Club is an exclusive residential community located at a five minute distance from downtown Boquete. The community of Boquete Country Club sits atop a 3,600 ft. highland plateau and its natural topography, descending from north to south, strategically positions all home sites with respect to views of the Pacific Ocean and Barú Volcano.
The Mountain View Condominium & Villas is a residential complex conformed of two (2), four level buildings, with two (2) Town Houses on the ground level and six (6) condos in the upper floors. Each building has three (3) Villas adjacent to the main buildings for a total of six (6) Villas. The Villa is a one-family two level home with a total construction area of 2,668.26 ft2 (247.98 m2). Additionally it has its own private garden area with Gazebo.
Main Characteristics of the Villa
3 bedrooms / 3.5 bathrooms
Walk-in closet in Master Bedroom
Two level single family home
Spacious terraces and balconies
Elegant living-dining room with double height ceiling
9.5 foot ceilings with 8 foot solid wood doors
2 car covered carport
Total Construction Area: 2,668.26 ft² (247.98 m²)
Main home appliances (refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, water heater, washer & dryer), fans and ceiling lamps
Private garden area of 3,944.61 ft² (366.60 m²)
Views to the Pacific Ocean and City of David (South); and rainforest and Barú Volcano (northwest)
We are a Panamanian family that lives abroad. We grew up in Chiriqui and always wanted a place in Boquete.
Now that we have it, we would like to share with others the beauty of the place.
Gerardo Purcell purchased this villa in 2012
Although just 8.9 degrees above the equator, at 1,050 meters (3,450 ft.), the town of Bajo Boquete is cool, when compared to the lowlands and the city of David, 29.6 km. (18.3 miles) down the mountain.
Boquete is spectacularly set in the lush, always green hills bordering both sides of the valley of the Rio Caldera. Panama's Central Cordillera (mountain range) is renowned for its' fresh air, clean drinkable water, comfortable temperatures (rarely more than 30C - 86F), humidity-free climate, prolific flowers and verdant vegetation.
Together, these conditions also combine to make Boquetes' coffee, grown in our rich volcanic soil, rated among the best in the world. Oranges and other tasty local fruits grow in abundance, and there are plenty of fresh, locally-grown, quality vegetables too.
Boquete Country Club enjoys a prime location on the road to Palmira. This road is being extended to Poterillos Arriba to connect with Cuesta de Piedra just below the town of Volcan and Cerro Punta, facilitating easier travel around the highland areas of Chiriqui and strengthening the tourist industries of these beautiful areas. An important section of this road has been completed and is open for travel.
Buenos días Sr. Gerardo,
Lo felicito por la hermosa casa que tiene, todo estuvo perfecto. La pasamos súper rico y créame que no será la ultima vez que estaremos hablando por ahí la alquilamos de nuevo, ya le hemos hablado a varios familiares de la casa a ver si se animan ellos también. Muchísimas gracias por la atención brindada, excelente no le cambiaríamos nada a la casa.
Saludos y espero que este bien,
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our experience here in Boquete and especially our accommodation here at the Country Club. The villa is extremely spacious and well-equipped, the views of the mountains are spectacular. In particular, the huge garden with children's playset, grill and outdoor furniture was a huge hit. We used the gym in the Country Club - also well-ran and well-equipped. There is also a hot tub and small pool on hand. You will need a vehicle to get in and out of town but we found we were close enough to enjoy the local restaurants and still enjoy the peace and quiet of the villa. We stopped in almost daily to a very local bakery in the nearby San Francisco mall (on the corner of the main road) and had delicious rotating pastries and bread. While we didn't meet the owner in person, he was extremely helpful and communicative via email. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Nuestra estadia fue maravillosa. El lugar increible. La casa muy comoda, limpia y muy bonita tiene todo lo que se pueda necesitar. Excelente atencion de su dueño y de su mama. Seguro que regresaremos y la recomendaremos a familiares y amigos.
La Villa5 es el lugar perfecto para disfrutar del delicioso clima de Boquete con la.familia y, ademas, con todas las comodidades...solo debes preocuparte por la alimentacion y mas nada.
Ademas es destacable la atencion impecable del propetario Gerardo y su madre quienes se preocupen de que todo esté listo a tu llegada.
En resumen, super recomendado...Cinco Estrellas!!
Boquete Country Club is strategically located only five minutes away (4.5 kilometers) from downtown Boquete with direct access to the new Highland Highway (currently called Road to Palmira). The construction for this road is nearly completed. The Highland Highway will connect the town of Boquete to Volcán and Cerro Punta, facilitating, in the near future, travel around the highland communities of Chiriqui. This should increase land values over other developments in Boquete.
