Uthink FAQ
1. What is a weblog or blog?
According to Donna Wentworth, Web Publications Editor at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society, a weblog or blog is:
"... a website updated frequently with links, commentary and anything else you like. New items go on top and older items flow down the page. Blogs can be political journals, news digests, and/or personal diaries; they can focus on one narrow subject or range across a universe of topics. The weblog form is unique to the Web, highly addictive, and may be changing how we communicate with one another." (http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/about/)
2. Why are the University Libraries hosting blogs?
Libraries believe passionately in intellectual and academic freedom, and our role as advocates for those freedoms. Blogs are an excellent tool whereby students, faculty and staff at the University can let their opinions be heard. Blogs offer a way to rapidly discuss opinions, issues, and ideas, and allow people from across the country, and campus, to connect with each other through these ideas.
The Libraries are also excited about the opportunities blogs will provide the students, faculty, and staff of the University to build communities of interest. Blogs are an excellent collaborative work environment tool through which people can write about their research interests, and encourage others in their field to comment on these writings or even create their own blog to share their own thoughts.
In addition, blogs are great tool to promote discussion within classes on campus. Through this service, professors and TAs will easily be able to create blogs for specific classes and give the students in those classes access to post articles and opinions. Some classes on campus have already started to use blogs in this fashion. We hope this service will encourage other classes to take the leap!
Finally, one of the functions of the Libraries is to retain the history and cultural memory of the institution. Currently, we perform this function through our collections, such as the University Archives. Blogs are another way we can perform this function, and provide researchers of the future with access to the rich content blogs are sure to provide concerning the University.
In summary, the Libraries have numerous goals with this project: to promote intellectual freedom, to help build communities of interest on campus, to investigate the connections between blogging and the traditional academic enterprise, and to retain the cultural memory of the institution.
Who can use the service?
The University Libraries offer this service to the faculty, staff, and students of the University of Minnesota. Anyone with an active U of M Interent Account may login with his or her Internet ID and Password (your email ID and password) and start blogging! Guest authors may also use UThink. If you have a friend that would like to participate on your blog, encourage them to create a guest Internet ID and then attach that Internet ID to your blog.
How much does it cost?
Of course, there is a cost for the University Libraries to provide and maintain this service. However, the service is free to the faculty, staff, and students of the University of Minnesota.
Why should I use the blog service at the University Libraries? Why not Blogger or LiveJournal?
Good question. You are free to use whatever blogging system you want, however you may want to check out what our system offers:
* No advertisements.
* Integration with the U of M Central Authentication Hub (x.500) for access to the system using Internet IDs and Passwords. This means no messy username/password maintenance for us, and easy access to the system for students/faculty/staff.
* Allows students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to create multiple blogs, really as many blogs as anyone wants.
* Allows blog owners to easily attach other authors to their blogs to create team blogs, class blogs, club blogs, etc. Blog authors can attach anyone that has an Internet ID and Password (including guest Internet IDs) to his or her blog.
* Allows blog authors to upload graphics and other multimedia (doc, ppt, pdf, etc.) to their blogs.
* Creates the necessary blog directories (the main directory and the archives directory) on the fly without any administrator intervention.
* Uses of one of the most popular blog software packages in the world: Movable Type.
What are some specific ways I can use UThink: Blogs at the University Libraries?
People around the world are using blogs in a myriad of ways, but an academic setting provides some unique usages for blogs:
Faculty and Instructors
* Create UThink blogs for specific classes, and attach the students of those classes to the blogs as authors, in order to encourage discussion and debate. Many classes across the country are already doing this, including classes at the U of M.
* Encourage students to create their own blogs, and create assignments that give students the option to use their blogs as the mechanism for completing those assignments.
* Use UThink to rapidly publish new ideas and areas of research to a much wider audience than ever before, and receive comments on your entries thanks to Movable Type's comment functionality.
* Use UThink to track areas of research interest, web sites about a particular topic, or happenings in a particular field. With the categorization functionality of Movable Type you can quickly and easily manage entries on all your research interests. In addition, each blog comes with its own search engine so you can quickly find past entries.
* Use blogs to keep in touch with current and former students, or with colleagues around the world. Thanks to Movable Type's notification functionality you can have the blog server automatically email specific people every time you update your blog.
* Use UThink to create a newsletter, or a faculty group blog to keep everyone up to date on departmental matters. And thanks to UThink's U of M Internet ID and password integration you can attach all of your colleagues from any of the four U of M campuses as authors.
* Create a blog for colleagues around the world. UThink recognizes guest Internet IDs.
For more information on how faculty from around the world are using blogs check out this Chronicle of Higher Education article: Scholars Who Blog.
* Create a UThink blog to share your opinion on classes at the U, campus events, local or world news, or really anything! Let your opinion be heard.
* Create UThink blogs for your classes, or specific papers or speeches, and easily organize your thoughts using MT's categorization functionality. Also, find old entries quickly thanks to your blog's built in search capabilities.
* Use UThink blogs to keep your friends and family up to date about what you are up to.
* Use UThink blogs to keep track of links to important web sites used in your classes, or keep track of library index and database citations for your papers and speeches.
* Use UThink blogs as a research tool. The more people we have logging in and posting opinions, the richer the search results will become.
* Create a UThink blog for any student organization, club, or group you might belong to and easily keep other students up to date on your group's activities, events, or views on a particular topic.
* Thanks to Movable Type's templates functionality, customize and design your blog to look any way you want.
These are just some of the usages for blogs in an academic environment. If you are using blogs in a way we haven't listed, please let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Does the library offer any support to users of the blog system?
Currently there is very limited support for users of the system. If you have any questions or comments about the service please email firstname.lastname@example.com. The libraries also hope to offer training sessions in the future. Please also try to find answers to your questions using the Movable Type Support Forum.
The Libraries are also more than happy to give a presentation to any group that wants to learn more about UThink and how to use the service. Please email email@example.com for more information.
How much control do I have over my blog(s)? Can I edit entries I make?
You have complete control over your blog(s). You may add, edit, or delete any entries you make into your blog. You may also delete your entire blog if you feel that is necessary. You may also change the appearance of your blog including adding or editing any of the HTML, CSS, or graphics.
How long can I have access to my blog?
The University Libraries intends to provide access to a blog as long as the blog owner has an active U of M Internet Account. This means that a user could have access even after he or she graduates.
How can I tell if anyone is reading my blog?
We recommend that you look at some free hit counters like Extreme Tracking or Site Meter or ServuStats.com. These free counters are relatively easy to set up. Just follow the instructions.
I've been writing in my blog for a while and no one is reading it. What gives?
There are many things you can do to increase the readership of your blog. One way is to tell your family and friends that you have a blog. Blogs are an excellent way to keep your loved ones informed about what you are up to. Another way to get people to read your blog is to link to other blogs you are interested in. Then tell those blog owners that you have linked to them and ask for a reciprocal link. They don't have to if they don't want to, but sometimes they will link back to you. You could also submit your blog to search engines (like Google) for indexing although they will eventually find it on their own. You should defintely add your blog to the blog directory Blogarama. Finally in your blog's administration interface click on Weblog Config > Preferences > and click on the checkboxes under "Notify the following sites when I update my blog." This will alert blo.gs and weblogs.com that you have added new content on your blog.
Blogging takes dilligence. Don't expect hundreds of visitors and comments just because you started a blog. It takes time to build an audience. Start a blog for yourself, to practice writing or to track an important topic you are interested in. Eventually, if you want them to, people will start coming to your blog.
I would like to have a private blog, where access is blocked by a username and password. Is this possible?
There is a way to block a site through a directory wide password. Please read this UThink Technical FAQ Wiki post for more information.
Are there any rules I should be aware of?
U Think: Blogs at the University Libraries is governed by the same rules, guidelines, and policies that govern the student, faculty, and staff web space provided by OIT. For more information please see Service Guidelines and Description.

Originally written on Football Nation | Last updated 11/20/12
Since its inception, football and Thanksgiving has been a perfect combination. From the NFL's humble beginnings in 1920 to today, there has always been football on Thanksgiving and today the holiday is tied to the game of football as much as it is to food and giving thanks. In 1934, the Detroit Lions played their first game on Thanksgiving and became regular participants on the day, and in 1966 the Dallas Cowboys followed suit. While recently this tradition has been broken by NFL network's addition of a third game on Thanksgiving, all 10 of the best Thanksgiving day games in NFL history involve the two blue and silver teams.

Please note: textures in this collection range from light grain to a lightly pebbled grain depending on which part of the hide it's from.
Bought as a gift. Loved the packaging, style and quality. Will be purchasing again soon!
I purchased this with the monogramming as a gift for my boyfriend. It is absolutely gorgeous. Soft, supple leather. Deeply embossed initials and the color is a true deep brown. The packaging was also so lovely I didn't need to wrap it for it to be beautifully presented. This was my first Leatherology purchase and I'll definitely buy from them again in the future.
It was exactly what was listed on line and I was very happy with my small pocket planner
Despite having a smart phone I really felt the need of a purse size planner where I could write down calendar events. Locating a leather planner in a bright color proved more difficult than I imagined-until I found your website!
Beautiful craftsmanship and speedy shipping!
This is the perfect planner for a handbag! It has the right amount of room for jotting appointments, etc. It is refillable which makes it even better. Beautifully made!
Quality Product....Excellent Service....Very Nice Packaging.
love it...love it.
Great gift for someone moving away. Put everyone's name in it
I have been looking for a non-electric planner and address book for a while. This planner is of the highest quality and has removable/up-datable planner and address sections. The quality of the leather is excellent. Great color choices. Pricing is very reasonable for the quality of the item. I plan on keeping this and replacing sections yearly. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a small, purse/pocket sized planner.
I received the pocket planner and its gorgeous. I bought this as a gift for someone and I think they are going to love it. I got it with the monogram and it makes it so personal. the packaging of their products also make it worth while. I am absolutely in love with this and want to order more from this site for future gifts. FIVE STARZ for sure.
Great service, great product!!
This Small Pocket Planner is small enough to fit in your pocket, but is big enough to hold all the information that you could possibly need. The leather is beautiful, as it is with all leatherology products, and will hold up for years to come. I was very highly satisfied with this purchase, and would reccomend it to anyone else.
Color was gorgeous & the monogram added the extra touch. Loved it!!
LOVE IT --- I have been looking for something like this in leather. Perfect size for my purse. Great quality product - Leather is beautiful - Thank you
This is a very good stuff.
I was very pleased with your product and its packaging. It arrived on time and I was very happy with your service. Thank you and Have a Merry Christmas.
Very nice, would have liked a pad for making notes on the left side of planner.
This is a beautiful pocket planner, I can't wait to give it for a christmas gift.

There are plenty of people who aren't even Christians who say 'oh Jesus!' as an expletive. I see nothing wrong with 'oh Brutha!'

Mississippi State women's basketball coach Vic Schaefer doesn't like to lose.
With that to consider, Schaefer wasn't a very happy man during the first half of Friday's game against Northwestern State.
The Bulldogs saw themselves down by 10 points at 24-14 with 7:23 remaining in the opening 20 minutes and the Lady Demons were having an easy time on the court.
MSU ended up holding Northwestern to 18 points in the second half and won a 65-49 decision at Humphrey Coliseum.
The fact that the Bulldogs waited so long to get their act together was disappointing to Schaefer.
"I love them so much and they are so much fun to be around," Schaefer said. "They are great kids, but when I let my guard down, they can make my life miserable and it's not fun sometimes.
"At halftime, our locker room was not a good place to be when we only have five offensive rebounds. We were not playing hard and before the first media timeout, we were looking and watching. We're teaching accountability and do your job.
"We're teaching instincts with kids that don't have any and level of expectation and understanding that when the lights come on and you are wearing mississippi State that there's a level of expectation of how to play and represent this university. It's about giving them the gameplan and execute without chewing out people all the time."
After trailing 29-20 with 3:33 left in the first half, MSU began chipping away at the difference and a pair of free throws by Katia May closed the gap to 31-29 at halftime.
The Bulldogs went on a 15-0 run in the second half to turn a 33-32 deficit into a 47-33 lead.
Jessy Ward had a 3-point field goal, Martha Alwal and Jerica James had two baskets each and Carnecia Williams had a pair of free throws during the surge.
"We finally got after it at the end of first half," Schaefer said. "The press kicked in and we got some easy looks off that. (Ward) and J.J. (James) were key in our spark (in the second half Friday night)."
Northwestern State took a 13-4 lead early in the first half and took advantage of MSU's slow start.
"In the first half, we came out with no energy or heart," Alwal said. "We came out really slow."
Carnecia Williams, who led the Bulldogs with 16 points, knows it's important to start games better.
"We have to learn to come out with more intensity out there," Williams said. "We need to come out with more punch and have to be more focused."
May had 11 points for MSU, while Alwal had a double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds. It was the fifth double-double of the season for Alwal.
Schaefer said Alwal is just scratching the surface of what she can be on the court.
"She has the ability to do so much more and she doesn't," Schaefer said. "She has a tremendous upside and it's my job to get it out of her. She can be really good, but it's typical of young players that she takes plays off, but you can say that about all 12 of them."
The Bulldogs get an opportunity for a quicker start and improve at home tonight when Troy comes to town. Tip at Humphrey Coliseum is set for 7 p.m.

Professor Awarded Third Doctor of Honoris CausaPosted Nov. 7, 2010
Congratulations to Dr. Mietek Jaroniec, who was awarded a Doctor of Honoris Causa title from the Military University of Technology (MUT) in Warsaw, Poland. The honorary degree, approved by the MUT senate on January 28, 2010, was awarded in a ceremony held on October 4.
The ceremony, also held to inaugurate the new academic year, was ended with a lecture by Dr. Jaroniec: "Nanoporous materials: Recent advances in the area of ordered nanostructures."
According to the MUT website, "Professor Mietek Jaroniec belongs to the most eminent of Polish chemists, and is one of the leading scientists worldwide in the field of materials science and physical chemistry of surface phenomena." The honorary degree has only been awarded fifteen times in its nearly 60-year history.

Some local medical suppliers say effort to trim costs could put them out of business
Scooter (heavy duty)
Portable oxygen system rental
$29.67 $18.92
July 1
Anyone who watches cable television knows the pitch: Seniors, you can order a fancy new scooter, and don't worry about the cost. Medicare will foot the bill.
Starting July 1, Medicare will still pay, but less, much less, than it does now. That will save money for the government program, but firms that sell the scooters and other medical devices say it will threaten their businesses.
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the amount that Medicare pays for medical devices is based on prices from decades ago and does not reflect their true costs.
The newfound market approach to finding prices is part of a new wave of cost-saving initiatives for the massive government entitlement program. Similar efforts are under way for prescription drugs, even as the government looks for savings in other "fee for service" parts of the Medicare program, right down to how doctors and hospitals are paid for treating patients.
Tami Holzman, a spokeswoman for CMS, said the cost-cutting effort comes from a long-standing belief that Medicare is simply paying too much for medical equipment.
"Many studies have repeatedly warned that the fee schedule prices paid by Medicare for many items are excessive, as much as three or four times the retail prices and amounts paid by commercial insurers or customers who purchase these items on their own," Holzman said in an email.
Medicare estimates that it will save $25.7 billion between 2013 and 2022, and beneficiaries an additional $17.1 billion through lower prices. It plans to slash prices in 91 metropolitan areas across the nation, including San Diego County. A list released Jan. 30 shows that prices in the San Diego region will be cut by an average of 47 percent on the first day of July, two percentage points more than the national average of 45 percent.
While Medicare is pursuing the plan as a way of controlling costs, local medical suppliers, especially small operators, say the new reimbursement regime will be fatal for many companies.
"It's going to put me out of business," said Carol Ashley, owner of Ashley Medical in Hillcrest since 1989. "Medicare is 60 percent of my income. The prices are less than my acquisition cost, and that's not even accounting for overhead, like liability insurance, state accreditation and licensure. It's just not sustainable."
Erica Sell, general manager of Harmony Home Medical in Kearny Mesa, said the changes will force her organization to make significant changes and perhaps consider laying off part of her five-person staff. "We're not going out of business. We've been diversifying since we opened with an end in sight for Medicare," she said.
The federal government, she said, has been working on its competitive bidding program for several years. With the writing on the wall, Harmony has worked to hone other parts of the business, Sell said. A contracting service, for example, specializes in upgrading seniors' homes with modifications such as grab bars and ramps used to prevent falls. A new nonprofit organization that would refurbish used equipment is also in the works, she said.

Good evening
I got my Pumpkin yesterday. As I was very excited to start carving it, we got torrential rains.
So now I watched 1 episode of BONES, and 4 episodes of LONGMIRE.
I usually do not watch TV, but we TIVO AND AMAZON AND HULU and ROKU.
Well I do not but my family does.
So I slept late, like an Angel. ( As my friends know I am not an angel). But I got out of my arm splint and started therapy today. Shooting range in 2 - 3 weeks I am back for my lessons.
The fall leaves are spectacular in my area. Breathtakingly so. Until my next note, be safe and watch over all your friends back.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

I've done a couple of little projects this week…stuff that's been stuck on my to-do list while I was busy making quilts. First up was a new crib sheet for Sophie using this tutorial.
I'm never buying a crib sheet again…it literally took me 20 minutes.
Next up was a purse. She's been carrying around a plastic Target bag with her treasures in it for weeks…so it was time to get this bag lady a real purse.
Now it holds all her treasures + bits of trash she collects, and I clean it out when she's not looking.
I swear I blinked and she turned into a toddler…it's so sad and so much fun at the same time.
Now onto the next big thing…I can only take one or two "small" projects before I'm itching to make a quilt!
All laid out and ready to sew!
I'm making this quilt again… (pattern is here) without borders and 12 more blocks to make it 60" x 70". To make it like this you'll need 42 – 2 1/2" strips of fabric, and 1 3/4 yards of neutral fabric.

Explores Wolverine's (Hugh Jackman) violent past, the death of his lover and his complex relationship with Victor Creed (Liev Schreiber).
Back in 1963, The X-Men first debuted in Marvel comic books, revealing five teenaged "mutants" who were granted superpowers due to their genetic makeup and were shunned by society. 50 years later, the X-Men are not only one of Marvel's most popular comic book characters, but also a multimillion dollar movie franchise to go along with several cartoon adaptations, toys and video games. But how close are mutants to becoming a reality? If some reports are to be believed, it could be only 30 years before human beings are able to control the weather or shoot beams of energy out of their eyes.

Warfield (SF)
Two questions...
1) What does one do with the guitar in that VIP package? (Let's assume putting it in the car isn't an option, but if it is, then re-entry wouldn't be a problem?)
2) Any other problems/solutions those who have attended via VIP can add? No one likes a crushed autographed poster/litho!
It's the only option I can think of since I suspect there is no VIP locker to make the most of that $600 investment (Guitar VIP + Ticket)
Replies to This Posting
Re: Warfield (SF)
ill b at the warfield 2!!
so if the meet n greet is before the show. can u leave and like go put the stuff away in my car and then go back in? or once ur in you cant leave?
Re: Warfield (SF)
I'm not sure how they're doing things now. The meet and greets I've been to, were before the band went on stage. I don't think they let you enter a venue and then let you go to car and then come back.
Re: Warfield (SF)
I did the guitar VIP in Tulsa, back in November. The meet and greet was before the show and I had time, and was allowed to take my signed stuff out to my car and reenter the venue as long as I had my ticket on me, to show security to get back in. I made sure to ask, (you should too!!) before I walked out the door! As for the guitar, it was given out after the show, quite awhile after the concert.
Re: Warfield (SF)
I checked the fine print on the Warfield website. They don't allow re-entry (which seems to be the rule for ANY Bay Area sports/music area type place.
Anyway, just bought the Guitar VIP. On doing so it gave me options on shipping...(UPS Ground, 3 Day, USPS...etc)...If the VIP stuff was shipped to me I would be stoked! Since it's will call for the actual VIP pass, I have NO idea what the shipping was for...It does say shipping/processing fee, but that doesn't make sense when you have shipping options.
Anyone else experienced this?
Also noticed the Double Platinum's are all sold out, so if you wanna be on stage, the guitar VIP is the only one left!
Re: Warfield (SF)
Any one have a scoop on what the set list will be?
Re: Warfield (SF)
Good: This is the last US show before Korn crosses the pond :)
Scared: This will be their fourth show in a row - Phoenix, VEGAS!, San Bernardino then SF! - WTF
I'm worried JD be thinking SF want a single? say fuck that - fuk that, fuk that
Re: Warfield (SF)
Yeh, it's a rough few days for sure. But the distance isn't a lot, and the day before is a festival, so maybe less daunting and less gear to worry about
Re: Warfield (SF)
Here's what they did in Detroit 2 days ago:
Old and Rarities
No Place to Hide
Helmet in the Bush
New Korn
Narcissistic Cannibal
Chaos Lives in Everything
My Wall
Get Up!
Way Too Far
Here to Stay
Freak on a Leash
Falling Away From Me
Another Brick in the Wall
(Pink Floyd cover)
Shoots and Ladders / One
Got the Life
Dead Bodies Everywhere
Re: Warfield (SF)
The set list is good - with ten albums now there is so much to choose from - I'm surprised how much came from their first album. My Wall and Way Too far got me pumped - The Pink Floyd, not so much. No matter what the show will be sik wit it - such a small venue - only holds 2555
Re: Warfield (SF)
Just realized - they didn't play S from KORN III - Remember Who You Are
RE: Warfield (SF)
Well, only a few days to go 'til the show. Still haven't seen an email about the Guitar VIP bizzo. Not sure what I paid shipping for either. Guess I'm glad I didn't choose 'overnight'. GroundCtrl aren't exactly quick on the support-front when it comes to answering questions.
RE: Warfield (SF)
Sorry you didn't get the scoop you were looking for. I saw Warfield in the subject and just kind of ran with that.
Sometimes I just take things Way Too Far
I'm not in the VIP - can't swing the funds. I will be slumming on the floor; no back stage for me.
R U Ready?
RE: Warfield (SF)
It's all good. My original post was a week or so before I just decided to go for it. Bay Area venues are so conservative nowadays.
Still heard nothing back from groundctrl support after about 28 hours. I'm expecting an email today or tomorrow about the VIP side of things. After spending over $600 bucks on this concert you'd think customer support would be important.
Anyway, instead of my whinging here, would prefer the thread to go the direction of the concert itself.
Totally stoked to be able to go. Last time I saw Korn was at the Big Day Out in Adelaide, Australia in 1999.
RE: Warfield (SF)
The club before this one, we wouldn't get the email until the night before the show.
RE: Warfield (SF)
Got my VIP email five minutes ago.
RE: Warfield (SF)
Got mine too!
See ya's on Sunday!
RE: Warfield (SF)
Today's the day!
RE: Warfield (SF)
The day has arrived!
RE: Warfield (SF)
Sitting in the lot sip'n vodka rockstar - it's so predictable - 9th korn show, 4th solo - see you all on the floor - and good luck at work 2morrow -
Y'all want a single?
RE: Warfield (SF)
George! Where you at, buddy? I tried doing a user search, but couldn't find you. Hit me up!

Standard Deviations
In 1999 the New Times newspaper chain (now part of Village Voice Media, Inc.), owners of ten weekly papers around the United States, approached Hoefler & Frere-Jones for help standardizing production. Ink on newsprint behaves differently in dry Arizona than it does in humid Florida, and page layouts had to be tweaked in each location to appear consistent, which often entailed the redesign of entire pages. To solve this problem, Hoefler & Frere-Jones designed Mercury with a gradation scale, creating letterforms of varying boldness that are nevertheless the same width. (Unlike the weights of a type family, which grow wider as they get bolder, a typefaces's grades increase in darkness without expanding the space the text takes up.) Differences in printing results can be compensated for by adjustment in the grade; because this does not affect the size of the type, page layouts do not have to be redesigned.

Plans to widen U.S. Highway 331 and the Clyde B. Wells Bridge took decades to bring to fruition, but it appears Walton County's resistance to accepting tolls to pay for it could save residents hundreds of millions of dollars.
The Florida Department of Transportation announced recently that it had hired a company to expand the 2.274-mile span across Choctawhatchee Bay by building a second bridge just east of the existing one.
Skanska USA Civil Southeast has agreed to design and build the second bridge for $118.5 million.
Because the state and county had agreed to put up a total of $177 million to cover the cost, FDOT told the Walton County Commission June 24 that the county will receive a $50 million rebate check.
Those funds will allow the county to more quickly retire a half-cent sales tax that voters agreed to pay until bonds issued to cover the cost of the county's portion of the bridge expansion were paid off.
"I envision that we can get this paid off in five years," Walton County Commissioner Sara Comander said at the meeting at which the rebate was announced.
In conjunction with the bridge expansion, FDOT will widen U.S. Highway 331 north from the bridge to State Road 20. The two projects together will cost the state $145.9 million, or about $31 million less than the state and county budgeted to pay for the bridge.
That compares very favorably to the almost $400 million a private business called Moving U.S. 331 Forward LLC wanted in 2009 to widen the bridge and build, operate and maintain a toll facility there.
The private-public initiative was praised by some members of the Northwest Florida Transportation Corridor Authority when it was initially brought up. But county residents like M.C. Davis called the plan an "ambush" and successfully argued to the County Commission to take its time and study the private company's plan.
The county took his advice.
"That was all a sham. That's why I stood and opposed it," Davis said Monday.
Walton residents quickly rallied to oppose putting a toll on the bridge, and in May 2012 county voters passed a referendum agreeing to allow the imposition of the half-cent sales tax.
"I think that is indicative of the combined wisdom of various segments of the public when they brainstorm and act together," Davis said.
Interim County Administrator Gerry Demers said expanding its primary north-south throughway will make Walton County safer and wealthier. The roadway will significantly ease traffic flow away from the coast in the event of a tropical storm.
"We've been working on this for many, many years. To have it all come together is really good for the county," Demers said. "Not just for evacuation but as an economic engine, because we'll be more attractive to businesses all along the route."
The first phase of widening U.S. 331 was a $22.4 million project that expanded the roadway from U.S. Highway 98 to the south end of the bridge.
The $24.9 million four-laning of the road to State Road 20 has begun north of the bridge, as evidenced by piles of dirt pushed aside to level the area to be paved.
Skanska USA Civil Southeast is expected to begin work on the bridge project in August and complete the project by fall 2016, an FDOT news release said.
Along with the $118 million bridge expansion, the state plans to construct a park at the span's southern end "with amenities that are associated with that," FDOT spokesman Ian Satter said.
"Those amenities would include boat ramps, a picnic area, a fishing spot, restrooms, parking and a dock," Satter said.
Plans and $47.6 million in funding are also in place to expand U.S. 331 from State Road 20 to Interstate 10 just south of DeFuniak Springs.
"We have the interstate and now have a four-lane highway," Demers said.
The final phase of the widening project would four-lane U.S. 331 from DeFuniak Springs to the Alabama state line.
Satter said $2.9 million is being spent to conduct a planning, development and engineering study to determine the feasibility of completing the U.S. 331 expansion from I-10 to the Alabama line.
Staff Writer Angel McCurdy contributed to this report.

Not worth it
By Virginia from Illnois
from Crete, IL
About Me Midrange Shopper
These sets are hard to find but don't buy this one. It is of unbelievably poor quality. I only saved the tank topper and threw the rest of the set out! Don't be fooled by the picture, a very poor buy. Shame on you Walter Drake. I paid way too much for this.
not worth the price
By dstone
from st. francisville, illinois
The tank cover wasn't made to cover a toilet tank. The material for the rugs are thin and faded after the first wash in cold water and mild detergent. The toilet lid and tank cover not only faded after the first wash, like everything else, but actually became frayed around the edges.
Excellent product
By New Homestarter
from New Jersey
Worked out very well.
I would buy this product again
By 77 TA Driver

The set was perfect for my small bathroom. The color matched my other accessories (shower curtain, towels) very well.

I will Never buy from Walter Drake again
By lost customer for life
from Bellevue, WA
I had to return the product because it was for a square base toilet. Which I have have never heard of or seen. Description said it would fit any standard toilet. Thats a LIE. It was HUGE. [...]Plus it had been a long time since I had bought anything online because I was afraid of something like this happening and losing money. I wasn't even given store credit or anything. I was so happy when I found what I wanted and it was so easy to get.
5-piece bath set
By annababe
from fortworth,texas
I redid my bathroom in seafrolic,cosmicblue and the bathset looked purple next to it. It's no good to me.I can never get satisfaction ordering on line.
I will order again and in more colors
By Nikilet
from Kadoka, SD
I've always purchased my sets from [...], but they no longer carry the tank cover sets. While they are way more plush than these from Walter Drake, they are also very expensive. I wanted to change my accent color so I ordered a set recently and am well pleased with what I got for what it cost. Although a tight fit, I was able to stretch the toilet seat cover with no problems and actually like that there isn't so much excess material. The same is true of the tank cover set. Through [...] you would pay as much or more for the seat cover than this whole set costs. I would most certainly order again and hope Walter Drake continues to carry this.

Happy "Take Our Daughters & Sons to Work" Day!
Linnea's Lights is such a family affair with our tight-knit mother-daughter team, and our small staff is just like extended family to us here in Indiana. It seems only natural that we'd love celebrating Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day each year, and I always look forward to sharing my passion with my own daughter, Hannah.
I found out a bit more about the origin of this special day on the Take Our Daughters & Sons to Work foundation's site and this recent article about how to make the most of the day, over on Forbes. Designed to be more than a career day, the Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work® program goes beyond the average "shadow" an adult. Exposing girls and boys to what a parent or mentor in their lives does during the work day is important, but showing them the value of their education, helping them discover the power and possibilities associated with a balanced work and family life, and providing them an opportunity to share how they envision the future and begin steps toward their end goals in a hands-on and interactive environment is key to their achieving success. Each year, we develop new interactive activities and partnerships that will assist us in taking girls and boys to the future they dream of.
Do you have fond memories of joining your parents for a day at the office? Is this something you'll participate in with your own children?
