The schedule says the East Tennessee State baseball team opens the season Friday at home. It doesn't say where home is.
The Bucs are still hoping to able to play their opener against Eastern Kentucky at their new park, Thomas Stadium, as construction continues to make the field playable.
"We still have a shot at it," Bucs coach Tony Skole said Tuesday as his team practiced on the new stadium's luscious turf for the second day in a row. "This project has been such a long time coming. To see it come to life in these final stages has been very exciting. It would be great to open up here."
Some more work will have to be done before Friday's game, which would take place at 1 p.m. The backstop screen must be installed, dugout benches need to be completed, the outfield fence padding has to be put up, the hitting background screen has to be installed and the pitcher's mound — the only dirt on the artificial turf field — has to be tweaked.
If the field isn't ready, the game will be played at Dobyns-Bennett High School. ETSU officials say the final decision might come as late as Thursday morning. The grandstand has not been built yet, so a makeshift seating area is being constructed.
The Bucs play 18 of their first 19 games at home.
Just getting to practice on the new field has been a treat to the ETSU players.
"It's incredible," slugger Dylan Pratt said. "The place is top notch all the way around. We're just really excited to actually get on it. It was more than any of us could have expected. We expected it to be a nice place, but once you're out here on it, you can really see what an incredible surface it is."
Based on previous production, Pratt would be on the odds-on favorite to hit the first home run at the new park.
"We've discussed that," Pratt said with a smile. "You don't want to be trying to hit home runs, but at the same time there's a lot of us that would love to claim to be the guy to hit the first dinger in the new park. Whoever gets it, we'll be happy for him."
Pratt hit 15 home runs and had 57 RBIs last season, both second on the team to record-breaking Paul Hoilman.
"Dylan is one of the hardest workers on our team," Skole said. "He's been a great leader. He's got the respect of all his teammates. He's gonna hit in the middle of our lineup. He's gonna be a guy that we can count on to drive in runs. He'll be one of the most feared hitters in the Southeast as far as college baseball is concerned, so we're expecting him to have a big season."
The first home run is a subject of question, but one thing is for sure: if the team opens the new stadium on Friday, John Long will be throwing the first pitch. The senior righty, who went 6-6 last year, is ETSU's scheduled starter for opening day.
"I have thought about that, throwing the first pitch at the 'Tom,' " Long said. "It would just be awesome. We already love the field. We finally have a place we can call home."
Long's brother, Jake, will start the third game of the series on Sunday. Jake is a sophomore who played last year at Spartanburg Methodist.
"That's really cool," John Long said. "We've played together all through high school. Not many people get to play with their brother in college. It's a cool experience."
Wherever his team plays on Friday, Skole said he's looking forward to getting started. The Bucs are coming off a 36-21 season.
"We're excited," Skole said. "These guys are tired of playing against each other, scrimmaging against each other. They're ready to see somebody else in that dugout, get after somebody else a little bit."

I purchased the fabled "Amber Diamond" powder as a splurge after a following a rather austere budget for a while – and what a luxury it felt like! The packaging of Dior products is second to none – when that gorgeous blue compact slid out of the dustbag, I knew whatever might be inside would just be gravy.
Amber Diamond quickly became my go-to highlighter for 90% of my days. The glow it imparts is lovely and natural, and I enjoy that in a pinch, the colors can be used individually as eyeshadows. I do not experience fading from this product until at least hour 8 of wear, which I consider exceptional from a supplemental powder. And I know – tagging this a "great value" when the price tag is as hefty as it is? I would be remiss not to, however – I've been working on mine for a year and a half with no sign of hitting pan in the imminent future.

Very nice

Comments about Jos. A. Bank Classic Cotton Broadcloth Boxers:
I have purchased these in the past an discovered they run small. I usually wear a 38 and the sales person suggested a size larger. I'm glad they did. These are very comfortable. I'm also happy these have are cut with a long leg. They stay very nice throughout the day under slacks or jeans without riding up. I usually wear white or light blue but would like to see different patterns other than stripes or plaids but still classic.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Overall great shorts
By Loyal customer
from gadsden,al
Not as long as the picture shows,wear really good.
Not so great
By Cover up!
from Florida
Pros: soft cottonCons: tag inside, elastic band inside, fly opens often... Not so good.I have a wide variety of expensive and inexpensive underwear. Some foreign "expensive" and my "boxers" that i sleep in are less expensive high quality cotton. I bought these because they were on sale. I expected them to be a little nicer than my other sleeping boxers. Let's just say the waist band and the tag are uncomfortable. Also ur stuff falls out at night. You also cannot walk around the house in them because the fly opens.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Excellent quality but undersized
By Ed
from Cary, NC
I purchased 9 pairs of these boxer shorts in waist size 38. I'm very pleased with them in all respects except that they are a size too small. Since my trousers (also by Jos. A. Bank) correctly fit with a waist size of 38, I expected these to fit perfectly. I should, however, have ordered size 40.
Comfortable and long lasting

Good Value
By BUTRAVELLER
from Long Island, NY
I like 100% cotton boxers that have sizes rather then s/m/l. Not easy to find these days. These boxers fit the bill and with the "buy one get two free" sale they are excellent value. I usually pay significantly more for my boxers from another major men's clothier. I would have given them 5 stars if only the waistband was lined but these seem very comfortable and I will probably buy more next sale.
Comfortable boxers - great deal
By jbon

Will purchase more in the future. Great boxer.
Prompt Delivery/Wrong Product
By Since 1971
from Richmond, Va
This item arrived and the shorts were pinpoint not broadcloth. I took them by a local store and they did not have any in stock. When I suggested I would send them back by mail, I was advised tht the same thing would happen again. I plan to get by the store this week now that the holiday is over and replace them wrong shorts with the correct ones. N.B. There is no difference in the package labeling between the pinpoint and the broadcloth materials. A shipping clerk would have trouble packing the correct item.
Like Cardboard!
By Jim

These boxers are like wearing cardboard....do not bother spending money with Jos A. Bank....horrible.
By INDY

Good fit and feel.
Best boxers I have found
By Tom
from Atlanta, GA
I have been buying these boxers for many years. They hold up well to washing and keep their elastic and shape.
Second time around for boxers
By TomB
from Syracuse, NY
This is my second purchase of the broadcloth boxers. My first couple of pairs are still going strong after years of service. Legs are not too long so on those hot days, you don't have to worry about them sticking and blowing out the seams down below!

Perfect Fit, but thin for a Broadcloth
By Rick44
from Duxbury, MA
Purchased a couple pair hoping that the material would be a little heavier, more like a casual oxford shirt. The Bank Broadcloth is a bit lighter, not as coarse, but still wears well and doesn't shrink beyond recognition after laundering. The cut is extremely comfortable and I will buy more in the future. Just wish the on-line description and photos gave a better indication of the actual material.

"It's a huge step for our program," John Roddick said. "Teams that are consistently competing are consistently in the round of 16. So for us to get there and now to get to experience that is a huge step for us."
The Sooners (18-7, 2-5) ended a five-match losing skid to the Red Raiders, which included three-straight losses throughout the 2010 season.
"It was a tough match," Roddick said. "We had lost to them three times this year and I kept harping on the doubles point after the other losses. I think that was the main difference in the match and I think that showed again today."
For the second-consecutive match OU jumped ahead, 1-0, after taking the doubles portion of the match.
The Sooners Blake Boswell and Lawrence Formentera struck first for OU at the No. 3 spot. The duo defeated the Red Raider's Vitor Manzini and David Gonzalez in impressive fashion, 8-3.
OU proceeded to drop the No. 2 spot to Texas Tech, which evened the doubles score.
Senior Andrei Daescu and freshman Costin Paval rallied from a two-point deficit to secure the doubles point for the Sooners as the duo downed TT's Raony Carvalho and Rafael Garcia, 8-6, at the No. 1 position.
"We came out and played as good of doubles as we have played all year," Roddick said.
In singles action, the Sooners wasted little time as the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, Paval, pounced on Tech's Andre Stabile in identical sets, 6-1.
Texas Tech answered with a win at the No. 5 position bringing the score to 2-1.
Formentera put the Sooners up, 3-1, after he handled TT's Gonzalez in straight-sets, 6-0, 6-4.
However, the Red Raiders would not go down without a fight as they climbed back within one after Manzini beat OU's junior David Pultr at the No. 4 position.
Junior Ionut Beleleu clinched the match for the Sooners after he defeated Tech's Garcia at the No. 2 spot.
"We took care of business, we played disciplined tennis and I'm just excited for the guys because this was our goal," Roddick said.
The 2010 NCAA Championships will be held at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Georgia, hosted by the University of Georgia. The team championship will be held May 20-25. Brackets and opponents will be posted as soon as they become available.

Priority Registration Guidelines In cases where more students register for a course than space allows, first priority is given to students for whom the course meets a degree requirement. Among these students, priority is assigned as follows: Students with the fewest number of credits left to complete. Students with the greatest number of credits in progress (courses being taken currently but not yet completed). The date the registration request is received. Students for whom the course is an elective are then given priority based on the guidelines above. Contact program staff for program-specific procedures. Registration Holds / Prerequisites Academic Holds - Academic holds are placed on student accounts by the program when there is a failure to meet academic standards or progression. Students will need to contact their program coordinators to discuss the necessary steps to remove this hold. Account Holds - Account holds on are automatically placed on student tuition accounts when the account balance becomes outstanding. Account holds will not be removed until the outstanding balance is paid in full, which can result in delayed course registration. For more information, contact Student Central at firstname.lastname@example.com or 612-238-4566. Course Prerequisites - Course prerequisites are put in place to prevent students from registering for courses they are not yet prepared for. Students will need to contact their program coordinators to discuss the necessary course requirements to allow for future registration. Changes in Registration Changes in registration include adding or withdrawing from a course. All changes in registration must be made in writing or online. Students are subject to the late registration fee for courses added after the designated change period. Tuition refunds for courses withdrawn are subject to the course withdrawal policy. Changes in registration may be done one of two ways: Add or drop online through WebTools, up until the start time of the course For courses administered from the Twin Cities campus submit a request to drop by e-mail at email@example.com, and for courses administered from the Winona campus submit a course add/drop form to the Winona Office of the Registrar. Course Drop/Withdrawal Policy Students must formally drop or withdraw from a course for which they have registered, but do not plan to attend or complete. Students who drop a course online using WebTools up to the beginning of a course will not be charged a drop fee and the course will be removed from the transcript. Students receiving financial aid, including loans and grants, will receive the grade of W for all course drops/withdrawal that occur after financial aid has been disbursed, including prior to the start of the course and during the first 50% of the course. Withdrawals requested after 50% of the scheduled course will result in a grade of NC. Written requests to drop or withdraw from a course must be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. Written requests received prior to the beginning of a course or once a course has begun will be charged a $30.00 drop fee per request and liability for payment will be incurred. Tuition Refund Tuition refunds for online and written requests are based on the following schedule: Regular Courses: • Before the second class meeting 100% • After the second class meeting, but before the third 75% • After the third class meeting, but before the fourth 50% • After the fourth class meeting None Blended Delivery and Independent Study Courses: • Up to 20% of the amount of elapsed course time 100% • 21 - 35% of the amount of elapsed course time 75% • 36 - 50% of the amount of elapsed course time 50% • After 51% of the amount of elapsed course time None Tuition refund for a blended or independent study course is calculated based on the amount of elapsed course time as measured from the start date of the course until the end date of the course. Online Courses • During the first week of the class: 100% • During the second week of the class: 75% • During the third week of the class: 50% • During the fourth week of the class: None Tuition refund for an online course is calculated based on the start date of the course and the week. Typical online courses are eight weeks in length and for course withdrawal a week is defined as Monday through Monday. A drop fee of $30.00 is charged during and beyond the second week of class. Withdrawals requested during the first 50% of the course will result in the grade of W on the student's transcript. Withdrawals requested after 50% of the scheduled course has been completed will result in a grade of NC (No Credit) on the student's transcript. Two or Three Session Courses A student who misses the first class of a two or three session course must withdraw from the course. To obtain a full refund for a two or three session course, students must drop the course prior to the beginning of the course. Withdrawal after the first session and prior to the start of the second session will result in a 50 % tuition refund and the grade of NC (no credit) on the student's official transcript. Administrative Withdrawal from a Course Failure to follow course withdrawal procedures will result in administrative withdrawal. A student will be administratively withdrawn after the third class for nonattendance, which will result in a 50% tuition refund and the grade of X (unauthorized withdrawal), which negatively impacts the GPA, on the student's transcript. Students enrolled in fully online programs will be administratively withdrawn after seven days of inactivity. The tuition refund is based on the last date of attendance and will result in an X grade.

The Pew Forum posted a portrait of evangelical Christian churches that includes the following pie chart:
Bearing in mind that we are well into the 21st century CE, this finding is astonishing. It's so astonishing, in fact, that the deacon didn't believe me when I told him about it. He suggested that the respondents may have misunderstood the question. I, citing the fact that I personally heard a sermon within the past decade in which the preacher referred to the biblical Noah's Ark story as an actual historical account, told him that I find it entirely believable. Sad, yes, but entirely too believable. Wanting to persuade him to adopt my point of view, I found this pie chart, which includes the polling script. Upon reviewing it, he agreed with me that this is an amazing, and utterly pathetic, finding.
Scrolling a bit farther down Pew's page, I found this pie chart:
It doesn't take much thought to realize that one cannot hold both of these beliefs coherently. If one believes the Bible is god's literal word, then one cannot ignore its repeated admonitions that Christianity is the only religion that reconciles one with god and leads to eternal life. That being the case, many religions cannot lead to eternal life. If evangelical Christians compare these charts thoughtfully, they should experience cognitive dissonance of the kind that leads people to reconsider whether their religious beliefs can withstand serious scrutiny. For those who are ready to undertake such examinations, the very least they should do, if they're honest, is end up revising some of their beliefs. Once they've begun the thought-revision cycle in earnest, and repeated it a few (or a few hundred) times, it should only be a matter of time before they jettison their entire religious cargo. Unfortunately, there will always be others who aren't ready for such exercises. Some of them will remain happily unaware of findings like these; others will shrug their shoulders and accept cognitive dissonance as a normal state of being. If the alternatives to intellectual honesty re: religious beliefs are a) being ignorant and happy, or b) being informed and miserable, this may be a case in which ignorance really is bliss.

Education Initiatives | News
In a video address at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) conference, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced that August will be "Connected Educator Month," and called upon teachers and other educational leaders to innovate through online collaboration and learning environments.
"Now more than ever we need strong leaders…to guide the country in transforming education and vastly improving the opportunity to learn for every American," Duncan said. "Every educator needs to be connected with the best digital content, tools, and resources in order to enliven the learning environment for students, and to fully connect with peers and experts."
The Department of Education's Office of Educational Technology (OET) will convene Connected Educator Month in conjunction with the American Institutes for Research (AIR), a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that conducts research in behavioral and social science and delivers technical assistance in the areas of health, education, and workforce productivity. The event is part of OET's Connected Educators initiative, which is supporting informal, online, social and professional learning for educators by conducting research, hosting communities, and working with the education sector.
More than 50 organizations--from the American School Counselor Association and Cisco to the National Association of Elementary School Principals--will participate in the online event. Throughout August, educators will have opportunities to participate in dozens of online activities, including forums, webinars and contests, intended to develop skills and enhance learning. The Connected Educators website also will offer tools and resources to help educators become more connected.

How is restless leg syndrome diagnosed?
The National Institutes of Health says that four criteria must be met for the diagnosis of RLS in a person (adult or child):
- A strong urge to move your legs. This urge often, but not always, occurs with unpleasant feelings in your legs. When the disorder is severe, you also may have the urge to move your arms.
- Symptoms that start or get worse when you're inactive. The urge to move increases when you're sitting still or lying down and resting.
- Relief from moving. Movement, especially walking, helps relieve the unpleasant feelings.
- Symptoms that start or get worse in the evening or at night. Continue Reading

The following pages are written mainly for those people wondering who we are, what we're doing here and how do we make our lives better. I've tried to write down some of the things I've looked at that have ended up making my life better.
All I was looking for when I started this was to find ways to make my life in society tolerable.
I guess the first thing I looked at was that life might be best defined as everything that is. This got me moving out of mistaking little life situations as life. Little situations like relationships with people, my relationship with society and so on. It also got me moving away from what I thought of as "My Life". My life became my relationship with life, not some little event taking place within another little event.
What will happen when we adopt this "life as everything that is" concept is our world gets bigger, roomier, less confined and restricted. This isn't something that might happen. When we see ourselves as part of something bigger, events become less of an issue. The problem with really seeing life this way is the same problem we have with changes in general. Once we've accepted something it's very hard to rid ourselves of it.
This how to chapter and all the pages written of my experiences all deal with moving from an accepted reality to a different reality.
The other thing I ran into when I started dealing with myself was my brain. This shouldn't come as a surprise since everything I've come to accept here on earth has been filtered by the brain. Things get filtered, accepted or rejected, values get forms, things get known, once known they become thoughts and possibly identities... more on this throughout...

A hotel clerk helped a friend rob her workplace, according to North Charleston police.
The Clarion Inn on Dorchester Road was held up at gunpoint early Tuesday.
Police said a clerk at the hotel, Marissa Jackson, 23, of Patriot Boulevard, drove Joshua Ekpunobi, 22, who lives with her, to the hotel to commit the crime.
Jackson was charged with armed robbery and Ekpunobi with armed robbery and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.
According to the incident report, police responded to the inn at 3640 Dorchester Road shortly before 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.A clerk said a man wearing a mask over his face came from the back up to the desk, showed a gun and demanded the money and the safe. The woman gave the man the money in the front register, and the man wheeled the safe out on a cart. The register and safe contained about $500, according to a police affidavit.
The robbery was captured on surveillance cameras, according to the affidavit. Investigators found the stolen safe inside Ekpunobis apartment, according to the incident report.
At their bond hearing Thursday, the hotels general manager said the robbery has hurt the hotels business, with 15 people checking out and another 15 canceling reservations.
Magistrate Linda Lombard set Ekpunobis bail at $150,000 and Jacksons at $100,000.

Live Blog: 31 Arrested, 2 Shot, Police Under Attack in Ferguson
9 p.m. - Scott Olson, the Getty Images photographer who was arrested, is now free.
I just spoke to my dad, Scott Olson. He's out of jail and said "looks like protests are kicking up. I'm going back to work." #Ferguson— Justin (@JJMerrif) August 19, 2014
So far, protesters marching up and down West Florissant Avenue are calm, peaceful and wary, says Riverfront Times reporter Danny Wicentowski. Demonstrators, including parents with children, are walking on the sidewalks or gathering in parking lots, and "it looks like the cops are letting people do their thing," he says.
The scene on the street:
Danny Wicentowski Demonstrators, closely followed by press, walk up and down W. Florissant Avenue.
8:45 p.m. - Oh, also, Nelly is here. Of course.

Yes, and there shouldn't be a national deficit. I have the highest standards, I can assure you. But sometimes people make mistakes. And color you very wrong, Bob. There is very little difference between bloggers and reporters. At least most places. There used to be a big line in the sand, but no more.
Yeah. As do a great majority of early stories in almost every blog on the planet. Nature of blogging stories as fast as we can. So, it's such a blessing for us to have our kind and helpful readers watching our becks. I mean backs. Thanks, Bob.
2007ntg, I was interested in the cost of this and couldn't get an answer by my deadline. When you say translation are you merely talking about the hardware and software it would require to translate the audio to graphic subtitles? How does it work?
Honestly, I don't think there are many people on the planet who would go forward and live their lives not being affected by this. I'm not at all weighing in on the merits of the jury's verdict because it would be completely inappropriate. But, I'm just considering how I would feel it if was me with the same set of circumstances. I'd even bet some jurors lost some sleep over this. Terrible, terrible set of facts all the way around.
It seems he took the 16 years they were on the run and divided by two. The Judge went with the high end of the guideline range, which is typically laid out as fair territory in the plea agreement, so I'm not sure how successful she'll be on appeal. I didn't look at this particular plea agreement, however.
You never know how grief will affect someone's reaction to even the most compassionate gesture. But, Mrs. Ambrose's reaction was equally compassionate, so I can see why a certain amount of anxiety gave way to relief.
Thanks for noticing I gave it a shot. It's not as easy to draw knee-jerk conclusions when you speak personally with people about their experiences, and I do my best to convey that.
Excellent rule. Rule 22b: Spontaneous food fights and/or paintball competitions may not commence until the close of game play.
That's actually a file photo taken while he was on house arrest prior to the trial. He was remanded to prison to await sentencing following his conviction. Today's proceeding had been rescheduled four or five times because of precisely what somedude said: motions (including a defense motion for a new trial, which was rejected) and one scheduling glitch. Unlike state court, there is typically a significant delay between conviction and sentencing in federal court, but this gap was unusually long.
Believe it, according to the state figures. I believe there may previously have been more in West Side but the Clarion probably terminated its contract after the Luce death, or vice versa, and some hoteliers don't want to deal with the collateral consequences of having to manage large numbers of homeless. It's not so unbelievable that many would opt out.
I plan to look into it further, however there's not a whole lot of digging to be done with public agencies at 1 a.m. on a Saturday morning, so patience, Zippy, patience. I intend to see what I can find out through the courts and DOR. And as far as why it didn't leak out earlier, "Steven Hill, 53," probably wouldn't be significant to anyone. The likeliest way things like that get out are through (as you noted) the deadbeat dad list or if the woman wanted to drop a dime, which she hasn't, to my knowledge. It certainly seems like a big, big number to allegedly be outstanding.
OK people ... it's not a typo. It's a play on words. They're telling "tales" while turning "tail." Get it? It's obviously a confusing one since it prompted so much scorn. But it's not a typo.
There's no parole in the federal system, as I think another poster noted. As Judge Castel said during the hearing: "life means life." Barring a successful appeal they'll stay there forever. Or a presidential pardon, as corruptcity said. I'm thinking they're not going to be on Obama's radar, but I guess you never know.
Mom? Is that you? Thank you.
Hi Adam 72. Actually, since it's a civil rights case there is not only a reason, but a critical need to outline in the story that the people at odds in this case are of different races. Otherwise, I'd have to explain why someone is arguing their rights have been violated under the law under some other criterion. There are several. So, while I understand that you were implying I was pointing out that the officers were white and the subject was black in a gratuitous way, that was not the case. However, since you took the time to offer your very thoughtful assessment of what constitutes good and bad journalism, I took the time to explain why the distinction was necessary. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me at sbarry@repubcom
This application for a complaint will be heard by a clerk magistrate in Chicopee District (state) court and will be prosecuted by the Hampden County District Attorney if the complaint is granted. Melvin Jones also is being prosecuted in state court, but has a pending lawsuit in federal court. It's a morass of separate cases.
Melvin Jones' bail was revoked after the domestic arrest in the spring and then sort of doubled up after the drug trafficking indictment more recently.
I've published what Mr. Lisauskas said to me on the record in its totality.
There is a residency requirement in his contract.
Both are accurate. It's $50,000 cash or $500,000 surety which you may know means pony up $50K or something that's worth $500K to a bail bond person. That was also on top of the previous $50K he was being held on, but one case got dismissed, as I noted, so the whole thing is slightly convoluted. But, the short answer is both are true. It's more fun to say a half-million but he wouldn't really have to come up with that, so I tend to go with the cash bail.

Eagle Ford Shale enriches but also challenges South Texas boomtowns
THREE RIVERS - Along a beat-up old farm road, crumbling under the weight of hundreds of oil field trucks a week, a ranch gate was flung wide, and the only thing between the cows and freedom was Roy Escobar.
At 83, the retired carpenter from the Freer public school district holds the title of gate guard, one of the thousands of new jobs sprung up amid the promise of the Eagle Ford Shale.
"This thing is going boom," Escobar said. "You can see it. That's a big, deep well." He gestured to the flames shooting out of a towering flare in the distance.
Escobar drives 74 miles to the oil field each day. With clipboard and pen, he logs the trucks that come and go from the drilling site on a private ranch in northeast Live Oak County. He gives the landowner peace of mind, protects the drilling companies from liability, keeps the livestock from escaping, and earns wages higher than he made at the school district. He didn't want to say how much, but gate guards make $100 to $300 a day, according to industry websites.
So the wealth thousands of feet underground in the shale flows out to him and eventually to his granddaughter so she can pay for college tuition.
And it rides away on the trucks, lumbers down the disintegrating road and into Three Rivers, where, in a matter of months, it has transformed the town in ways that caught its 2,400 residents and leaders unprepared: There isn't enough water. There aren't enough houses. Rents have skyrocketed. Roads are crumbling. Open jobs are everywhere. You can't get a table at lunch. If you do, you share it with a stranger.
They're the sort of challenges that inspire jealousy in other small towns not lucky enough to have settled over a geological gold mine. They're challenges measurable by numbers and facts as hard as the ground being pumped for its gas. But some tougher questions can't be answered by charts and spreadsheets, questions seldom voiced amid the sudden flow of prosperity the likes of which old-timers in Three Rivers say they've never seen: What happens when it ends? Will our town be the same?
In a town square shadowed by a Valero refinery that, at 300 employees, was the largest employer for decades, the lunch hour eight months ago brought a trickle of refinery workers and a few government employees to Sowell's BBQ. It may have been half full at lunch, owner Rick Sowell said.
Today, the line is out the door. A new social scene has emerged where locals flush with new cash brush shoulders with the overalled workers who pump the wealth from the ground.
Sowell used to know the whole lunch crowd. Today he recognizes about 10 percent. He opened the restaurant's back door so customers can walk through the kitchen from a new parking lot in the back. He's sending out catering orders and, one day in September, had five truckloads of deliveries. In the two years since he opened, he went from failing to flourishing.
Once unheard of in Three Rivers, there is now a waiting list at the restaurant.
"This was just an old, dusty, sleepy ranching community until this thing blew in," Sowell said.
A year ago, the biggest bustle came with weekend fishing tournaments at nearby Choke Canyon Reservoir.
Today, the bustle is everywhere, every hour of every day and night. The oil field never sleeps.
But workers do, in shifts, and there aren't enough houses, hotel rooms or apartments to hold them all. Rooms at small, independently owned motels that a year ago went for $50 are now renting for $100 to $150 a night, about the same as the Omni Bayfront in Corpus Christi.
The Atria, a 42-unit hotel that opened in April, was full in its first week, manager C.J. Patel said. A similar hotel is under construction next door.
Landlords who once leased three-bedroom houses to locals for $500 a month are letting their leases run out, doubling or tripling rent, and leasing to oil field workers from San Antonio. Gas stations and restaurants have windows plastered with ads offering bedrooms for rent.
A friend of Sowell's placed a sign at the restaurant's cash register advertising RV rentals. Thirty minutes later, he called and begged Sowell to take it down.
"His phone hadn't stopped ringing," Sowell said. "He was tired of taking calls."
There just aren't enough beds for the army of workers. To help fill the void, Remote Logistics International and Ameri-Tech Industries established "man camps" — the industry term for temporary oil field housing.
'Temporary' is relative. Anticipating at least a decade of shale play, Remote Logistics has a six-year lease, with an option to extend, on 140 acres about a mile from the town square. In July, the company wheeled in a dozen trailers the size of mobile homes. Workers, including a few women, sleep in bunks in air-conditioned, 10-by-10-foot pods and use communal bathrooms.
For $95 a night — usually paid by drilling companies under a contract for weeks or months — they get three square meals made from scratch by a gourmet chef, linen and laundry service, wireless Internet, and access to a separate trailer with recreation rooms, television and computers.
Twelve more trailers with 96 more beds arrived Sept. 25 and were full in five days, said Bobby Chachere, a business developer for the company.
All this new housing requires water, and Three Rivers is scrambling to find enough.
On Aug. 22, the city placed a moratorium on new connections to the water system, effectively halting new business permits. That means no new hotels, restaurants or stores until officials figure out how to meet the unprecedented demand. Frustrated developers have spoken up at City Council meetings, demanding a solution.
The city water system provides about 3 million gallons of treated water per day. The refinery uses about 1 million gallons for cooling; the federal prison another 500,000. The rest goes to homes and businesses. With water levels at Choke Canyon hovering around 60 percent, the city's pumps inside the reservoir don't work as well, Public Works Director Rocky Mendez said.
Officials are considering reviving old wells and negotiating with Valero to have the refinery use untreated water to reduce stress on the system in the short term. But long-term answers are elusive.
Mike Pierson, president of the Three Rivers Chamber of Commerce, said the record-setting drought is a blessing in disguise because it's forcing area leaders to take a break from oil field fever for a hard, sobering look at water planning. "You can't drink oil," Pierson quipped.
However, long-term plans for water, land use and other kinds of development take time, money and consultants that most small towns can't afford, said Jeffrey Jacquet, a Cornell University sociologist who has spent more than eight years studying the impacts of natural gas drilling on small communities from Wyoming to Pennsylvania.
"We're limited, we have a small budget," City Administrator Rosie Forehand said. "It's not that the governing body wouldn't like to hire extra help, but you've got to pay them."
The city has 35 employees and an annual budget of about $4.1 million. Jacquet said Three Rivers mirrors other shale play towns where new sales tax income isn't nearly enough to pay for the huge utility and road upgrades that would solve many of the problems.
Still, the hotels, man camps and businesses that stress the city's water system do bring cash and jobs — so many that the local labor force can't keep up. Most retail jobs can't compete with wages in the oil field. Hiring signs appear in almost every store window.
Sowell's used to stay open for dinner until 9 p.m. It now closes at 2 p.m. for lack of workers.
"We don't even interview anymore," Sowell said. "If they walk in and walk and talk, we hire them on the spot."
Three Rivers has at least 100 job openings at a given time, Pierson said. The competition for job applicants has effectively pushed the minimum wage in Three Rivers up from $7.25 to $9.
The city's average sales tax receipts for the 12 months ending in August are up almost 33 percent over the previous year — even more when including large, one-time materials purchases at the local refinery that aren't tied directly to the shale play.
The Dollar General has trouble keeping staples like socks and toiletries on the shelves, not only because the oil field workers exhaust supplies, but because it's hard to find enough stockers.
Hotel taxes are another matter. Hotel tax revenues in Three Rivers haven't kept pace with the surge in occupancy. That's because guests are exempt for paying hotel taxes when they stay 30 days or longer, considered a form of permanent residency under state law.
Forehand said oil field companies sign contracts for blocks of rooms for months or a year at a time. In the first quarter of 2011, the city had more than $1 million in hotel receipts, but about a third weren't taxable, according to the Texas Comptroller. That's $21,000 the city would have collected had the exemption not applied.
A motel that generated $6,400 in tax revenue for the city in November 2010 was generating just $239 by March as oil field companies bought up more rooms, Forehand said.
Cities in the shale play are pressing their lawmakers for help, she said.
The most visible measure of the boom may be the trucks that carry millions of dollars of equipment and millions of gallons of water and sand to hydraulic fracturing wells in the region. Residents are used to seeing trucks come and go from the refinery, but now trucks lumber through town at all hours.
At the well sites near where Escobar guarded the gate, the oil field trucks have pulverized Farm-to-Market Road 1091. The roads crumble from the edges, getting narrower as they deteriorate. Heavy 18-wheelers zoom past at highway speeds on the narrowed roads.
Texas Department of Transportation officials said maintenance budgets can't always keep up with the repairs. Miles of paved roads have been converted to loose rock in Live Oak County. In Karnes County, state maintenance crews have turned into road-building crews because of the breadth of the damage, department spokesman Tom Tagliabue said.
By one measure — the number of times truck operators listed Live Oak County on permits to exceed the state's 80,000-pound weight limit — heavy truck traffic in the county is up 44 percent over 2010. In Karnes County, it's up 71 percent.
A 2007 report by the Utah Department of Transportation found that construction of one new oil or gas well requires 365 to 1,730 truckloads of equipment, materials and supplies.
It can mean a bumpier, more dangerous ride for rural residents, farmers and ranchers, but for those lucky enough to get a well on their land, the broken roads offer a short-term annoyance in exchange for a life-changing gain.
With those gains in Three Rivers and other South Texas boomtowns may come altered social structures, perceptions of crime and a feeling that the community's character has irreversibly changed, for good and bad, sociologists say.
Three Rivers has long been defined by its refinery, its rolling pastures and its fishing. But in less than a year, it became a full-fledged oil boomtown.
"For these smaller towns where not much has been going on in terms of big, dramatic changes, this can be a once-in-a-generation event," said Jacquet, the sociologist.
Long-standing community members may lose influence over local events and politics as wealthy newcomers arrive on the scene, he said.
Crime will increase with the population and, guilty or not, the outsiders will get the blame, Jacquet said.
After the start of the school year, Three Rivers school Superintendent Kenneth Rohrbach pondered the changes to his town and his schools as he sat with a visitor in his office. A piece of cardboard substituted for an office window pane. It was the fifth time a school building was burglarized since the summer.
For Rohrbach's 12-year tenure, the district had no problems with vandalism and break-ins, he said. He's not sure whether the spree is attributable to the growth.
"It's still a wonderful community," he said. "It's just not the same place it always was."
District property values shot up $160 million in one year, a 32 percent increase. Enrollment in lower grades is rising — 10 percent at the elementary school and 22 percent at the middle school, as oil field workers bring younger children with them. Teachers received raises while districts across the state laid off teachers. But district leaders are cautious.
"We're not being extravagant," Rohrbach said. "We're not going overboard and hiring a bunch of new staff."
This dilemma — hedging against a day when the boom goes bust, hotel rooms empty, jobs disappear, people move away — is common across all boomtowns, Jacquet said.
Government officials and community leaders may feel helpless when it comes to looking that far forward because they are so consumed by the challenges at hand, providing utilities, roads and housing.
"In terms of town planning, this is about the most difficult problem you can face," he said. "People are facing this problem with little to no staff, very stretched resources and not a lot of time."
Rohrbach needs only to go to lunch to feel torn about what's happening to Three Rivers.
"You used to walk into a restaurant and you had to shake 20 hands before you got to a table," Rohrbach said. "Now you don't know anybody."
But restaurant owner Sowell is confident about the long-term character of Three Rivers. He says he may not know the faces in his restaurant, but they're good people who have families.
He looks around town, sees flashy new cars, new ranch fences, bright new barns, cows well-fed with expensive hay while other ranchers around the state cull herds because of the drought.
"Oil money changes everything," he said. "The fabric of our community? The money's not going to change the people. These are good, solid people, have been and always will be. But it's nice to have an influx of money into the community. People that were suffering — these ranchers — it's been a blessing."
Since the oil and gas boom, Three Rivers population and wages are up, but housing hasn't kept pace. There now are few vacant properties, and rents have doubled or tripled, local officials say. Here's what the town looked like before these rapid changes.
Population: 2,388
Employed, 16 or older: 966
Median family income: $45,733
Housing units: 1,144
Vacant units: 290
Rental units: 297
Median rent: $550

With the new hotels, businesses and people in Three Rivers for the Eagle Ford Shale play, water demand has skyrocketed, pushing the city's water system to its limit and prompting a moratorium on new water connections. Here's a look at the number of customer accounts:
September 2010: 1,089
September 2011: 1,439
Increase: 32 percent
For comparison, the change in Corpus Christi:
September 2010: 84,019
September 2011: 88,955
Increase: 6 percent

A single fracturing well requires hundreds of truckloads of equipment and materials. As a result, drilling takes a heavy toll on area farm roads, county roads and highways. One way to track this activity is to look at overweight truck permits. For loads that exceed the state's 80,000-pound weight limit, truck operators must purchase a special permit for the areas where they travel. The following shows the number of times truck operators selected Bee, Goliad, Jim Wells, Karnes and Live Oak counties on these permits.
Bee County
2009: 3,859
2010: 3,850
2011: 5,854
Goliad County
2009: 4,056
2010: 3,954
2011: 5,769
Jim Wells County
2009: 4,071
2010: 4,147

At 143 minutes, this is Hitchcock's longest film. In comparison, North by Northwest is 136 minutes. Anyone who has seen North by Northwest knows there is not a slow second in that film. I don't think even Hitchcock could say that about Topaz. Set in 1962, Topaz takes place in New York and Cuba, dealing with Cuban/Russian – American/French relations. At times, it is a sharp, clever movie that is as fast-paced as Hitchcock ever was. Sadly, though, more often than not, it tends to drag through the "information" scenes (scenes with TOO much dialogue and too much information that has to be conveyed to the audience). The romance between the French spy (or is he a spy?) and Juanita falls flat. But, there are some moments that one can only describe as PURE Hitchcock. Juanita's death scene is one of Hitchcock's best ever. And the sequence in Harlem is also top-notch suspense. With a little more time in the editing room, Topaz could have been one of Hitchcock's best. Watch it…with the fast forward button not too far from reach.

Car-Free Living
Ruth Larkin is an explorer by nature. A former Outward Bound instructor, she has led sea-kayaking trips in Maine, worked at a hang-gliding park in Georgia, and led caving expeditions in Tennessee. Her most recent project during the fall semester limited her travel range considerably. But it also led to new adventures in self-discovery and sustainable living.
As part of an experiment for her Delicate Balance course, Ruth pledged not to use her family's 2000 Mazda Protégé for the entire semester with the exception of medical emergencies and an occasional field trip required for class. She commuted to and from campus by bicycle (a ten-mile round trip) and used public transportation for shopping trips to Rutland. Perhaps it's not a monumental challenge for a typical college student. But Ruth is also a wife and mom - she shares a home in Poultney with her husband Tim and their one year-old son Zeb.
Tim gave his wholehearted support to the project, promising to limit his use of the car from late August to mid-December. As for Zeb? "He hasn't said much on the subject," Ruth wrote in her first blog entry that chronicled the experiment. (Her blog "A Car-Free Semester in Vermont" later became a three-part series published in the Rutland Herald).
"It's comforting to travel in a car when it's snowing outside," Ruth said of her experience. "But it's also a convenience thing. When you look at the big picture - how cars contribute so much to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere - well, we don't always have to resort to cars. With some planning, you can get around on a bike most of the time, even in winter."
With the start of the spring semester, Ruth still bikes to school whenever she can, with Zeb sometimes riding behind in a bike seat. She will graduate this spring with a self-designed major in ecology and sustainability practices and a minor in biology, a combination that allows her to explore her interest in how humans and natural systems interact.
What has she learned from her most recent adventure? "That the bicycle is a viable form of transportation, even here in rural Vermont," she writes in her blog. "That if you only use a bike for transportation, your 'home range' shrinks, but you get to know where you live, and you have a greater sense of place and distance."

John Salley talks about veganism and the NBA
Aug 29, 2013, 11:19 PM EDT
The NBA can be a pretty testosterone driven world — and in that world men eat meat. Lots of it. Maybe boiled chicken breasts, maybe steaks, Kobe Bryant mixes in the odd In-n-Out burger as his vice (which is better than 5 Guys, but that's another debate for another day).
But there are vegetarians in the NBA (players who do not eat meat). Amar'e Stoudemire may be the most prominent, but there also is James Jones (who is vegan) and Glen Davis. Even Carmelo Anthony will go vegetarian for stretches to help control his weight in season.
Then there is John Salley, the former Pistons Bad Boy and current sports talk personality, who has taken the next step and is vegan (he does not use or ingest animal products, so for example no cheese, yogurt or eggs). He talked about that change and why he did it, speaking with Ethan Sherwood Strauss in a fascinating interview at TrueHoop.
The first question was did Salley switch to veganism for health reasons?
Yeah. When Wilt Chamberlain died. Any kind of blockage is heart disease; when you have a blood clot anywhere, that's heart disease. When Wilt Chamberlain died, strongest man I ever met in my life, I started paying attention.
A lot of players learn later in their career about diet. Ray Allen told PBT he changed his diet around after a trip to a McDonald's in college before a practice. He said he felt sluggish and after that changed his diet around, but a lot of players don't do that until their mid-to-late 20s (if ever).
Salley switched to vegetarianism (not veganism) while playing and talked about that and if he had been Vegas while playing.
Oh my God, if I was a vegan when I should have done this thing, man? I remember when I became a vegetarian and my game changed. I couldn't imagine if I was a vegan back when I was playing. The thing about the NBA, any pro sport, is, guys don't know how to take care of their body.
It's funny. They got trainers around to help them lift weights, throw all this weight up, parachutes. All this other crazy stuff. But they don't have guys who say, "Hey. This is how you take care of your body."
It's a challenge for a player, because they have to take in a lot of calories due to the energy they expend, and meat is a fast way to those calories. It takes a lot more thought and care to be vegetarian on a road trip. A lot of players move to leaner meats and vegetables as they get older and try to take care of themselves, shunning bad eating habits like fast food they had in their youth.
But when you see athletes like Serena Williams bounce back from career-threatening health issues thanks in part to veganism, you know that other athletes are going to take a look at it.
- longtallsam - Aug 29, 2013 at 11:27 PM
One thing for sure…Salley didn't become a seven foot tall basketball star by being a vegan.
- maracineanu16 - Aug 30, 2013 at 1:57 AM
yeah, being vegan no way you can become a good athlete
- brutl - Aug 30, 2013 at 1:17 PM
If anything it's the growth hormones in your meat products.
There are a number of athletes and bodybuilders or are vegetarian/vegan
- longtallsam - Aug 30, 2013 at 5:33 PM
There is a lot of difference between vegan & vegetarian. And I doubt if hardly any of those athletes were vegan in their growing years. Many vegetarians will eat and drink dairy and eggs, and even eat fish. Not a vegan! I am surprised vegans will even eat fruits and vegetables, since they do come from living plants, and we have to kill them to eat them!

John, have a Fatburger and chill out.
- rickyspanish - Aug 30, 2013 at 1:38 AM
Only in the off season bloggers will write about anything John Salley has to say. What a blowhard.
- ambitoos - Aug 30, 2013 at 1:39 AM
John Sally is a racist. He hates white guys but loves white women.
- genericcommenter - Aug 30, 2013 at 10:56 AM
So? So do I, and I AM a white guy.

Truly these are the darkest days of the NBA offseason
- hornet0123 - Aug 30, 2013 at 8:41 AM
Doesn't Glen Davis sort of negate all the other examples of shining health?
- brent05cards - Aug 30, 2013 at 11:18 AM
Five Guys is way better than In and Out! It's not even a competition.
- ProBasketballPundit - Aug 30, 2013 at 12:05 PM
Smashburger > everything. But there's not many of those across the country.
- longtallsam - Aug 30, 2013 at 12:22 PM
I will put a couple of my local spots here in SC up against any of those chains.
- ProBasketballPundit - Aug 30, 2013 at 12:03 PM
I hate Vegantarians. It's like bringing a guy from AA to a bar; ruins everybody's good time.
- brutl - Aug 30, 2013 at 1:11 PM
Well I don't go to bars for the same reason I don't eat meat.
It's nothing compared to ruining everybody's good time by dying of heart disease (or cirrhosis).
- longtallsam - Aug 30, 2013 at 5:36 PM
Its all called moderation and common sense. There is no credible evidence that vegans live longer than meat eaters.

Today, as I was flipping through Sound and Sense, I came across the nursery rhyme "Little Jack Horner." Its placement within the work, as well as the songs we've been looking at in class lately, made me contemplate a bit on what exactly constitutes poetry. It's interesting that so many forms of expression can fit under the same blanket term: songs, free verse, rhyme. Is a poem a poem because it uses literary devices? Has a specific meter or rhyme scheme? I'm not sure, for I can think of exceptions to most qualifications. Is something simply a poem because someone calls it such?
Who knows. Perrine can't even tell; he does not include the term in the glossary. Perhaps the word, like much poetry, is up to interpretation.

LIMITED EDITION QUANTITY: 5000 Copies
Ask a Supremes aficionado to name the group members and you can bet they will name more than just the pioneering Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard.
That's because the group persevered well into the 1970s, with several smash hits and a huge, devoted following. Their new 3-CD collection from Hip-oSelect.com, Let Yourself Go: The'70s Albums Vol. 2: 1974-1977 The Final Sessions, picks up where This Is The Story: The '70s Albums Vol. 1: 1970-1973 The Jean Terrell Years left off. In these great recordings, the dynamic Scherrie Payne shares lead vocals with original member Mary Wilson. Long time Supremes' favorite Cindy Birdsong is back. And then the final Supreme, Susaye Greene, adds her distinctive vocal style to the trio's last two albums.
Let Yourself Go includes all of the LPs from this distinctive era, plus numerous bonus tracks, remastered in their entirety for the first time: The Supremes, featuring the No. 1 Disco hit "He's My Man"; High Energy, which includes the group's final top 40 pop hit "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking"; and Mary, Scherrie & Susaye, exploding with more top 10 dance floor classics. The long-sought-after previously unreleased recordings from this era include several bonus cuts from the sessions; alternate takes with various lead vocals; and an original, alternate mix of the complete High Energy album. Fans will get a whole new take on some of their favorites.
All of this great music is housed in a beautifully designed hardcover "book" package in the same format as Vol. 1. Inside is a Supremes' fan's dream: extensive liner notes with informative and revealing interviews with Mary Wilson, Scherrie Payne, Cindy Birdsong and Susaye Greene, detailing the fascinating story about the group's final years together. Brand new quotes from legendary Motown writer/producer Brian Holland and other producers from the era are included along with thoroughly detailed annotations and the definitive listing of a Supremes' Who's Who. And, of course, there are more rare and never- before-seen photographs than in any other Supremes CD collection.
Let Yourself Go: The'70s Albums Vol. 2: 1974-1977 The Final Sessions is the perfect retrospective for the final chapter of a legendary Motown group.
