County makes progress in aiding colonias
Clean drinking water is one of the basics of American life. The assumption of what it means to have an American home includes access to a sanitary sewer system and paved roads. That hasn't been the case, however, for the thousands of Nueces County residents who live in colonias, the rural neighborhoods that lack basic services.
There is progress, however, in alleviating the conditions in those communities. In the next few months, residents in three of these colonias will have running water and sewer services, according to an update heard this week by the Nueces County Commissioners Court. The connection of those services will go a long way toward removing a blight on the county and a burden from the thousands of who live in the communities.
The progress, though, comes at a price. Simply bringing the basic services to one of those colonias, Rose Acres, is a $1.6 million project. That includes $500,000 in federal money, $562,000 in county funds and local grant money. The project at Rose Acres plus the cost of infrastructure projects at the two other colonias, San Petronila Estates and Twin Lakes, means a total outlay of $2.7 million. Federal and local grants pay for much of the work, but the county is still spending $655,000 on the three projects.
This is money well spent. The time is past when the sight of fellow Nueces County residents living in substandard housing, with foul water and in unsanitary conditions, could be tolerated. The colonias sprang up because of a lack of regulatory power by counties and by the desire of poverty-stricken Hispanic families to own their own homes. The state counts 38 colonias in Nueces County, although the communities are largely associated with counties along the Mexican border.
Simply recognizing that colonias exist in Nueces County has taken some effort by local and state officials. As County Judge Loyd Neal pointed out in a Feb. 18 column, the legislation that gave Nueces County the ability to impose minimum subdivision standards in 2005 has halted the spread of more colonias.
Upgrading these neighborhoods is a complicated business since property titles are often suspect, and contracts for deed are common.
Grant money for upgrades is hard to come by; some 400,000 Texans live in colonias. Rose Acres residents have been waiting years for promised improvements.
That still leaves thousands of Nueces County rural residents living in existing colonias in abject conditions. The work of bringing the most basic of services to these residents needs to continue. The most recent colonia projects represent real progress, but there is still much work to be done.

You know what's funny this week at Erie Community College in Buffalo? The t-shirt incident that took place between a friend of Busted Coverage and this woman rocking the Tom Brady #12. That's our friend, Andrew, in the Brady Swallows shirt. He got up that morning, threw on his Brady Swallows shirt and busted ass to class.
What happened next will go down in Erie C.C. school lore.
According to Andrew:
She was the last one in class that day and the only seat left happened to be behind me. She didn't even recognize my shirt until the entire class broke out laughing and someone pointed out what they were laughing at
She was always last in class peopled just loved the irony that today the only open seat was behind me and we both happened to be wearing the brady apparel
Did she say anything or call Andrew an asshole?
no not at all. she was just like o thats wrong thats so wrong she laughed didn't get that much of a rise out of her I think she was more embarrassed for not realizing than anything
There you have it, Erie C.C., your moment of fame on the Internet. Enjoy it. We are.

Mississippi State saw good outings from all three starters over the weekend.Â
Trevor Fitts showed that Sunday and gave the Bulldogs their third quality start of the weekend, the first time MSU starters have done that since the 2011 Atlanta Regional.
Fitts tossed 6 1/3 innings, but it wasn't enough as the No. 3 Vanderbilt Commodores scored five runs in the last three innings to beat the No. 24 Bulldogs 5-1 at Dudy Noble Field.
The Bulldogs (17-9, 4-2) won the first two games of the Southeastern Conference series and were looking to sweep the Commodores (20-5, 3-3) for the first time since winning all three at home in 2000.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Police in Fresno say a 3-year-old boy was seriously wounded during a gang-related drive-by shooting.
The boy was in the living room of a home around 3 p.m. Thursday when the shooting began. Sgt. Mike Smith tells the Fresno Bee the child was shot in the upper leg. He was taken to Community Regional Medical Center in serious condition, but was expected to survive.
Police found at least six shell casings at the scene. Smith says the home was the site of another shooting earlier in the week that left a 20-year-old gang member with a chest wound. The gang member was at home on Thursday when the latest shooting occurred.

If it weren't for those ill-fated contests at intermission that invite fans down onto the ice for this or that, we'd likely forget just how slippery an everyday rink is. Capitals right wing Tom Wilson found out the hard way Sunday when he was suddenly stuck with just one blade to try to work himself around the ice. Wilson had just laid a hit when the blade of his left skate popped off, leaving him trying to stumble along. He tried to use his one skate, pushing with the bladeless foot, to get himself to the bench, but that soon proved too difficult as well, as he fell to his knees and did his best animal-in-distress crawling motion toward the Washington bench. It was quite the awkward moment for the Capitals rookie, who was appearing in just his second playoff game. Check out Wilson's highlight reel — complete with the sound of the skate coming off — in the video below.

Battle for Terra, originally screened as Terra, is a 2007 computer animated science fiction film, based on a short film of the same name about a peaceful alien planet which faces destruction from colonization by the displaced remainder of the human race. The film was directed by Aristomenis Tsirbas who conceived it as a hard-edged live action feature with photo-real Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) environments. The close collaboration with producing partner and investor Snoot Entertainment redirected the project to become fully animated and appeal to younger audiences. The film features the voices of Evan Rachel Wood, Brian Cox, Luke Wilson, Amanda Peet, Dennis Quaid and Justin Long among others.

Arnela Mesic had no time to think, just dribble up the court and see if she could produce a play in the waning seconds of the East Syracuse-Minoa girls basketball team's showdown with Bishop Grimes last Saturday afternoon.
And when she got fouled on her way to the basket with 3.6 seconds left, Mesic didn't pause to consider the importance of her free throws. She just made them, and it led to the Spartans earning an exciting 49-48 victory over the Cobras.
This culminated a heroic and tenacious effort on ESM's part. Down by as much as 10 early and by nine at halftime, it kept coming back, then kept its poise after Grimes made its own heart-stopping rally as time wound down.
It all began with the Cobras trying to end the competition early, bolting to a 14-4 lead. ESM caught up in the second quarter at 19-19, but Grimes, led by Tenley Pitonzo (13 first-half points), closed the half on an 8-0 run and had a 30-21 lead going to the break.
ESM then started to apply full-court pressure in the third quarter, and it translated to success on the other end as it reeled off a 12-0 run to take the lead. The Cobras would shake off the drought and tie it, 40-40, going to the final period.
Then the Spartans engaged in another long shutdown, this one taking more than five minutes, yet could not extend its lead past five, 45-40, giving Grimes one more chance to rally.
With 24.3 seconds left and down 47-45, Pitonzo made a free throw, cutting the margin to one. Then the Cobras stole the inbounds pass and got it to Amanda Marcely, who hit a lay-up with 8.2 seconds to play and was fouled.
Now Grimes led, 48-47, but when Marcely missed the free throw, ESM had a chance to win. Not taking a time-out, the Spartans got it to Mesic, and as she drove to the basket, Mesic got fouled.

Waterproofing Gel
Protect your investment with the 3-step Danner Boot Care System. This product is step 2: Waterproofing Gel.
- 1. Danner Cleaning Gel cleans without residues that can spoil waterproofing.
- 2. Danner Waterproofing Gel for full-grain leather* is breathable, which means it blocks water from the outside while letting moisture escape from the inside. This is nice for all boots but is especially important for Gore-Tex styles.
- 3. Danner Conditioner softens, revives, and waterproofs full-grain leather and fabric materials such as Cordura® and nylon.

Best Uses
Comments about Danner Leather and Fabric Waterproofing Gel:
Really great stuff!
I like to apply the gel once or twice a month, simply because of what I put my boots through. It really keeps water, snow, and ice off of my boots.
A great side effect of the gel is that it really shines up my boots.
How I apply the gel: at first I just used the bottle to drop it on, but that can get a little messy. Now I use a 10CC oral syringe to accurately apply the gel to where I need it.
I do not just put it anywhere:
First, I fill the syringe with about 4 CCs (per boot) of the gel.
Then, I apply a liberal amount on the stitching of my soles and let it soak in.
Third, I take a paper-towel and use the excess gel from the stitching, and wipe the gel onto the rest of the boots.
I'm sure everyone has their own system of application but I find this suits me best.
I've used the gel about four times so far and it really works.
Thanks Danner.
- Excellent product
- Pricy

Comments about Danner Leather and Fabric Waterproofing Gel:
Used on Danner Gortex leather boots. Easy to apply, long lasting. No saturated leather, even when it looks like the color is wearing through. Is pricy but worth it

- easy to use
- Waterproof
- Shipping
Best Uses
Comments about Danner Leather and Fabric Waterproofing Gel:
I purchased the waterproofing gel along with some new Danner boots. The gel was placed into the box containing the boots without any seal to hold the cap on, and sure enough when my boots arrived the gel cap had fallen off and the gel was all over the inside of the box.
Thankfully, there was about 1/3 of the gel left inside the bottle and that was more than enough to prepare my boots for use. The gel works great. It added a lot of character to my boots and has done a great job of protecting them with all of the snow and rain I have worn them through.
Hopefully Danner will improve their shipping practices. I am supposed to receive a free bottle in the mail, but it has been 25 days since I contacted customer support and I still have yet to receive it.

Gilmanton Historical Society leads history tours for elementary students
GILMANTON — The Gilmanton Historical Society presented a guided tour of the town to the Gilmanton School fourth-grade class recently. The field trip is expected to become a regular part of the New Hampshire history curricula at GES.
Historical Society President John Dickey led the tour which began at the Old Town Hall, now site of the Gilmanton Museum in the Iron Works, and continued with visits to various historical sites throughout town.
The following article was written by student Karina MacLeod, about two points of interest along the tour.
"Once the town of Gilmanton had many schoolhouses, 18 to be exact. One schoolhouse, by the name of Loon Pond School, has been restored to its original condition. We learned what it was like to go to school back then. The children would quickly run inside when the school bell rang. They would take their lunchboxes of wood and metal and place them on the shelf in the coat room. The children would sit two to a seat in rows according to their ages. The teacher would ring the attention bell and class would begin. The children being equipped with slates and chalk would practice writing and math and reading with posters with sentences on them called guides. At music time, the teacher would play the piano and the children would sing along. The children would have lunch and recess and then they would repeat math, writing and reading before walking home.
"The Town Hall today is used for meetings, voting, licenses and other things. Many people don't know its history and may not know when and why it was built. In 1784, the Academy, as it was called back then, was built. Ten years after the Academy was built, it was destroyed by fire. The Academy was rebuilt in 1797, only to catch on fire again in 1807. The town loved the Academy and they had it rebuilt in 1808. Ninety-nine years later, three months before its 100th anniversary, the Academy had a play to celebrate the occasion. During the play, one of the oil lamps fell and ignited a fire. The townspeople thought they had put out the fire and cleaned up the oil, but they didn't. For some oil had crept under the stage. After the play everyone went home and went to sleep. Near midnight, the Academy caught on fire again and by the time everyone got there, the flames had burned their beloved Academy to the ground.
"The town loved their Academy and yet again, they rebuilt it nine months after this tragedy. In 1910, the Academy closed till 1920 when it became a public school by the name of Corner School. It taught lessons until the present day Gilmanton School opened and it became as we call it today, Town Hall."
We hope Karina's article will inspire children and families to come explore the museum. Summer hours are Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon.

Founding Members of Advice To The Players Reunited for 'The Merry Wives of Windsor'
SANDWICH — Caroline Nesbitt and Vivian Nesbitt, two of the founding members of Advice To The Players, a non-profit Shakespeare company, will be returning to the stage together to perform in The Merry Wives of Windsor at the Sandwich Fairgrounds in August.
In the spring of 1999, Caroline Nesbitt founded Advice To The Players to bring Shakespeare into the lives of teens and adults in the White Mountains region. As the company grew, Nesbitt began to dream of an outdoor, summer Shakespeare festival and in 2002 brought her sister, Vivian Nesbitt, along with Becca Boyden, on board to found the summer season on the Sandwich Fairgrounds Stage with a drama camp for children and a production of As You Like It.
Twelve years later, Advice To The Players, truly a "locally sourced Shakespeare company," now provides the Lakes and White Mountains regions with Shakespeare camps for children and teens, professional productions, and more throughout the year. This year, for the annual summer production at the Sandwich Fairgrounds, the sisters are back on stage together for the first time in more than ten years as main characters in The Merry Wives of Windsor, a comedy full of love - or attempts at it.
The Merry Wives of Windsor follows the silly, slapstick wooing attempts of Falstaff, a broke, hedonistic knight, as he tries to get two rich women (played by the Nesbitt sisters) to fall in love with him simultaneously. The catch? Both women are already married! When the women and their husbands figure out Falstaff's plan, the game is on!
"I am SO beyond excited that I get to play with my incredible sister Vivian in Advice To The Players' The Merry Wives Of Windsor this summer. The last time we got to do this was playing the Dromios in ATTP's The Comedy Of Errors years ago." says Caroline Nesbitt. "There are not many great roles for two ladies of a certain age to play together, especially in Shakespeare, and we are so ready to rumble."
"It's a blast to be here in Sandwich with my sister and our Advice To The Players family," Vivian Nesbitt added. "I'm so happy to be back on stage, performing with the group we started more than ten years ago! It's an honor to see how the company has changed and grown over the years."
The Merry Wives of Windsor is directed by Candace Clift, an Advice To The Players veteran actor and director. She and Becca Boyden, the Executive Director of the company, are the ones who decided to bring the Nesbitt sisters back together to Sandwich's stage.
"Caroline and Viv are incredible, fun actors and I am so happy that they're both in the show this summer. When they started Advice To The Players' summer season in 2002, they gave so many kids, teenagers, community members, and professional actors like myself a great opportunity to come together and play with Shakespeare each summer," said Clift.
The family friendly and funny The Merry Wives of Windsor will be performed at the Sandwich Fairgrounds Stage in Sandwich, from August 1-10 at 2 p.m. each day. An evening performance will take place in the Sandwich Town Hall on Tuesday, August 5 at 7:30 p.m. There are no shows on Monday, August 4 or Wednesday, August 6. Adult tickets are $20, $10 for seniors and students and free for 12 and under at the Fairgrounds. Youth tickets (12 and under) are $7 at Town Hall.

Audi and Martin Katz held a party in honor of the event at Cecconi's restaurant in L.A. last night. Out of all the stars that came flocking, we think that Kat Graham, Julie Bowen and Zoe Saldana looked the absolute best. That slash of lipstick on Kat, pictured on the left, is something else, especially when paired with that sheer sequined cocktail frock. Julie, in the center, wore an appliqued, one-shouldered Naeem Khan dress, while Zoe look beautiful in an asymmetrical, halter-necked Jason Wu number. If they keep this up, then we're really going to have ourselves a red carpet extravaganza at the actual awards show. Tell us which dress you like best in the comments section.

Burn down the disco. Hang the blessed DJ. Because the music that he constantly plays, it says nothing to me about my life.
I was really hoping for another Big Red Machine bobblehead this year. Someone like Foster or Griffey Sr. Oh well, I guess the only one I'll actively pursue will be the Robinson one. For some reason, I never really get into the active player bobbles unless they've been around forever. The Freel T-shirt sounds interesting.
Will Bronson's bobblehead be with or without Corn Rows?

You asked for http://www.medicexchange.com/mri/physicist-wins-international-award-for-mri-technique-to-id-microstructural-changes-in-asthma.html, but despite our computers looking very hard, we could not find it. What happened ?
- the link you clicked to arrive here has a typo in it
- or somehow we removed that page, or gave it another name
- or, quite unlikely for sure, maybe you typed it yourself and there was a little mistake ?
It's not the end of everything though : you may be interested in the following pages on our site:

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for though art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

If Hertl was tearing up the Czech league I would believe you, but he's not. Give him a year in the KHL, SEL, or the AHL, then talk.
Hertl is the best scoring junior aged Czech player in the Czech Extraliga in a decade. You know Dmitri Jaskin, who's tearing up the QMJHL with 45 points in 28 games? Well, last year he scored exactly two points in 30 games on the same team as Hertl, who scored 25 points in 38 games. Jaskin scored 10 points in 33 games in his draft year, which is less than half of the PPG Hertl had in his draft year. This season Hertl is leading that same team in goals and is second in points. He's only being out-paced by NHLers Vladimir Sobotka and Roman Cervenka. And yet he still fights for every shift.
He has many of the same attributes as Jaskin does: big, strong as a bull, drives then net, fights in the corners, has an edge to him. Now imagine how Hertl would be doing in the CHL.
Oh, and the Extraliga team he plays on is not a good team. It's not like he's getting much help.
In summary, I know Hertl, you don't. So don't act like you do.
(Also yes, I am overly excited about the Sharks only first-rounder in the past 5 years.
However, that doesn't make what I'm saying any less true).
EDIT: Also, in terms you can understand a little better, Hertl scored 2-3-5 in 6 WJC games last year as an undrafted player.

Love Your Life Living Happy, Healthy, and Whole (Hardcover)
|Author: Victoria Osteen
Learn more about Love Your Life:
|Do you ever feel like your life is moving at the speed of light? Are you constantly trying to keep up with all of your commitments and responsibilities? In this day and age when modern communication and technology cause our lives to move faster than ever, many people struggle to strike a balance between all the segments of their lives -- family, friends, career, social obligations, and self.
As co-pastor of Lakewood Church -- America's largest church -- Victoria Osteen understands intimately how day-to-day responsibilities can pile up and at times feel overwhelming. As a wife and mother, she sets the tone for her household and acts as a role model for her family. As a minister, she reaches out to an enormous community of people who look to her for guidance, strength, wisdom, and encouragement. She knows as well as anyone that operating in so many different roles can be extremely demanding, yet she has managed to find balance, living her life in the unforced rhythms of grace. If you ask her, she'll tell you that she loves her life and she wants you to love your life, too.
No matter where you are in your life, no matter what responsibilities you may carry, you can find peace, balance, and enjoyment in every area of your life; but it all starts with you. You have more power inside you than you realize; all you have to do is learn to tap into what you already have! As you begin to recognize your own abilities and influence, and use them in healthy ways, all the other areas of your life will fall into order.
In Love Your Life, Victoria shares from her personal life experiences and her journey of faith the lessons she's learned that have made her the woman she is today. As you read, you'll feel like you're in a conversation with a trusted friend as Victoria shows you how to tap into all that God has given you to live effectively -- as a positive influence on the world around you. You'll be inspired by stories of victory and challenged to live at a higher level. You'll read about people who have accomplished incredible things by overcoming their fears, and people who have changed the world around them by simply recognizing their own value.
A life well lived does not come easily; you have to set out for it, look for it, and make it happen. Love Your Life shows how to turn the challenges of each day into opportunities to love and appreciate all that you are.
