Who ate all our pies, Prime Minister?
Published at 11:08, Tuesday, 19 February 2013
Far be it from me to hurl stones in glass houses... but might David Cameron be gaining a pound or two?
Hey, it happens. Especially as you get a bit older (sorry Dave). We who have had lifelong struggles with weight and shape know that.
Dreaded bulk creeps up on you with a cunning stealth. It settles happily, if sneakily, around the waist, bum and chin and refuses to shift – without first putting up a fiercely stubborn fight.
Something tells me the Prime Minister may only now be starting to notice. And, since he has also only recently been seduced by all things Cumbrian – in particular the especially tasty bits – he is very likely lost to the cause of gluttonous weight gain.
There are worse things, obviously. Even for a leader of world stature, for whom a svelte and energetic image is a fundamental imperative, the odd love handle isn't the biggest deal.
Nobody dies when you tuck into a shepherd's pie, war isn't declared when you ask for a second helping of toffee pudding, elections aren't lost because you've had one pie too many or had the missus roast rather too much Herdy lamb for Sunday lunch... with mustard mash on the side.
Once was the time a pleasingly chunky frame was indication of discernment and taste; a sign of love for the finer things in life – like Hawkshead and Jennings ales, Cranstons pork pies, black pudding with breakfast and anything from Cartmel with the word sticky in its name.
Nowadays, it's decidedly infra dig to display a girth denoting good living, which is no doubt why the PM has seen fit to downplay his affection for a bit of a binge from God's own county's larder.
"I try to go for a run a week, I try to play a game of tennis every week and I try not to go to bed too late," he said, failing to mention his pie habit.
In denial? Maybe. But let's look on a couple of bright sides – one for him and one for us.
In leadership terms, he can't expect to be a political heavyweight if the opposition can kick sand in his face on the beach and at the ballot box.
And in our terms? Well a few of us are putting together a plan to make Cumbria Day an annual diary date of unbridled celebration, following last week's triumph in Parliament.
Since the PM is suddenly so publicly fond of all our assets – and is adopting the shape to prove it – we reckon we can count on his support, all the way to the finishing line... where a steak and kidney pie might well be waiting as a reward. So, welcome aboard Dave!
Of course, you don't have to be a prime minister, an MP or a captain of industry to pledge your support for an annual Cumbria Day. But if you are any or all of the above, you're most welcome. we need all the help we can get.
You just have to love Cumbria with a heart-bursting pride for all the county has to offer – and all that it can offer in the future.
Feel like joining us in the drive to make Cumbria the envy of the world? Let us know.
No politics involved, no prejudices employed, no weight limitations of any description and definitely no horse meat. What's not to like?

Brown to serve as Whitley County Chamber of Commerce executive director
COLUMBIA CITY — The Whitley County Chamber of Commerce announced today the selection of Doug Brown to serve as the organization's new executive director.
"Former general manager of a local printing company and previous publisher of The Post & Mail newspaper, Brown brings great business experience and community connectivity to the position," said the county chamber in a press release.
"Having worked in both large and small businesses in Whitley County, he is eager to utilize this knowledge to aid Chamber members in their growth and development."
One of Brown's first major projects will be coordinating the relocation of the chamber's offices, which will move from the current location at 201 N. Line Street in Columbia City.
Brown said today he hoped to make an announcement soon about the chamber's new location.
According to Orizon Real Estate, the building was purchased by Angela Grable-Garcia of Grable & Associates Realty. She said today she plans to move her offices to that location.
"We're in the process of closing on the building," said Brown.
"We are incredibly pleased to have Doug at the helm of the chamber, said Jennifer Zartman Romano, chamber board chairman.
"He knows this community, our businesses and non-profits, like no other. This is an exciting time for the chamber, a point of transformation and growth and we're thrilled he will be part of what we have planned.
"We've spent months preparing as an organization and working on restructuring, refining and strategizing. Now, we're ready to move forward in a bold way as an organization."
For Brown, the new position is a labor of love.
"I am wholly invested in making my home a better place to live," he said. "That begins with a strong business community. I understand that each business will have vastly different expectations of the chamber. Meeting those varied expectations will be the key to member satisfaction and growth."
Brown is a Churubusco native and a 1992 graduate of Indiana University. He and his wife, Larisa, a South Whitley native, are the parents of two sons, Chandler and Seth.
He is a current board member of the Columbia City Rotary Club, Passages Inc. and Churubusco Youth League.
Brown served as past president of the Columbia City Chamber of Commerce board of directors. He is also a previous Whitley County Literacy Council and Junior Achievement board member. He is an alumni member of Leadership Whitley County and previously served on the organization's policy council.
Brown begins his new role at the Whitley County Chamber of Commerce on Monday.

In a ram boring machine for laying pipelines without trenching, a double blade that is axially moveable against a compression spring is housed in an impact tip and projects through slots in the impact tip. The double blade is struck by a striker piston and moves, during the breaking-up of an old pipe laid in the ground, substantially independently of the ram boring machine or of its housing. In this way substantially all the impact energy of the piston is used for the benefit of the breaking-up operation.
1. A ram boring machine for laying pipelines without trenching, comprising a housing having a front end, the housing defining a longitudinal axis, a striker piston guided in the housing of the machine and an impact tip fixed to the front end of the housing, the impact tip provided with impact blades, wherein the impact blades are movable in axial direction relative to the impact tip, the impact blades being acted upon by the striker piston.
2. A ram boring machine according to claim 1, wherein an anvil bar having a front end operatively connected to the impact blades is guided in a hole bored in the impact tip.
3. A ram boring machine according to claim 2, wherein the front end of the anvil bar engages in a recess in the rear of a double blade.
4. A ram boring machine according to claim 2, wherein the housing is provided with a stop shoulder.
5. A ram boring machine according to claim 2, wherein the anvil bar is provided with a head at its rear end.
6. A ram boring machine according to claim 1, wherein the impart blades project through axially extending slots defined in the impart tip.
7. A ram boring machine according to claim 3, wherein the double blade is guided by a guide slot on a bolt member inside the impact tip and is buffered against the impact tip via a compression spring.
8. A ram boring machine according to claim 1, comprising a tubular casing at least partly surrounding the housing and having a holder for a follow-up pipe.
9. A ram boring machine according to claim 8, wherein the tubular casing has a conical tip.
10. A ram boring machine according to claim 1, wherein the impact tip is provided with an eye.
11. A ram boring machine according to claim 2, wherein the housing includes an anvil bar guide, the anvil bar guide being provided with a stop shoulder.
The invention relates to a ram boring machine for laying pipelines without trenching, having a striker piston guided in the machine housing and an impact tip provided with impact blades.
A pneumatically driven ram boring machine of the above-mentioned kind is known from German patent specification No. 21 57 259. It has a moveable impact tip on which the self-guiding piston strikes periodical hammer-blows. Under the influence of the hammer-blows the impact tip, which is buffered on the machine housing via a compression spring, advances oscillatingly through the ground and finally, when it comes to the end of its stroke, it draws the housing after it.
The impact tip of the ram drilling machine can be formed as a chisel or, according to German Offenlegungsschrift No. 25 58 842, can be provided with blade-like cutters so as to break up any obstructions in the ground more easily. Furthermore such ram boring machines can also be combined at the rear end with a coupling for attaching a follow-up pipe. In this way it is possible to pull a supply pipe even through ground crossed by obstructions such as old pipes without trenching.
From German patent specification No. 28 24 915 it is also known to use such ram boring machines to widen out a pilot hole, which may even be an existing supply pipe. Since the widening out of the supply pipe, for example a cast iron or earthenware pipe, requires it first to be broken up, it is also known to provide the impact tip with cutter or impact blades pointing radially outwards or arranged in the axial plane of the impact tip. In this case the cutting edges run at an acute angle to the axis of the impact tip, so that they act together much like a spreader cone but break apart the wall of the previously-laid pipe as the impact tip moves forwards.
Since the impact tip and the cutters form a constructional unit that is either part of a ram boring machine or is connected to a ram boring machine, the operations of driving forwards, forcing aside and breaking up are always performed at the same time. This results either in increased impact energy or in a slower advance. Moreover the impact energy is frequently not enough to break apart the sleeve joints that are almost always present.
The problem underlying the invention is therefore to provide a ram boring machine that operates with lower impact energy and/or allows a quicker advance.
The solution of the problem is based on the discovery that the machine can only advance when the breaking up operation has been performed.
Accordingly the teaching of the invention consists in forming the machine in two parts that are, within limits, moveable independently of one another.
More particularly, the invention consists in arranging, in the impact tip of a machine of the above-mentioned kind, impact blades that are moveable in the impact tip parallel to its axis and are struck by the impact piston. In doing this the impact piston at first transfers its energy predominantly or even wholly to the impact blades, and only when the impact blades have performed the disintegration operation and are not met by any resistance worth mentioning from the pipe or the ground, to the impact tip or the machine housing.
Thus in the ram boring machine according to the invention at first only the impact blades are struck and driven into the old pipe to be broken up and into the surrounding ground, while the position of the machine as such and of its impact tip remains substantially unchanged. Only when - mostly after several blows - a section of pipe and other possible obstructions in the ground are broken up does the machine and its impact tip move forward into the region of earth and pipe debris loosened by the impact blades. Thus the operations of breaking up and advancing or forcing aside constantly alternate. This brings with it the advantage that the maximum amount of impact energy is always available both for the breaking up operation and for the forcing aside and advancing operations.
In the ram boring machine according to the invention it is preferable for an anvil bar to be guided in cooperating relationship with the impact blades in a hole drilled in the tip. The striker piston imparts the whole of its energy to the rear end of this bar until the breaking up operation has been performed and the striker piston comes into contact with a stop shoulder which then absorbs the impact energy.
Alternatively the anvil bar can also be provided at its rear end with a head which transmits the energy of the impact piston to the stop shoulder when the breaking- up operation comes to an end.
The impact blades can be formed as double blades and extend through slots in the surface of the impact tip casing. They then point radially outwards like guiding fins and, during the breaking- up operation, they oscillate along the axis of the machine in the slots, the length of which corresponds to the maximum stroke of the blades. The front end of the anvil bar preferably engages in a rearward recess in the double blade.
In order to achieve a vibrating blade operation in the manner of a hammer drill the double blade can be guided by means of a guide slot on an inner spigot of the impact tip and be buffered against the impact tip through a compression spring. This results in the knife moving back a short distance under the influence of the compression spring after each blow so that it once again meets the pipe to be broken up on the next blow of the piston. The breaking- up of the pipe therefore takes place as a high-frequency impact cutting and consequently with high efficiency.
So as to be able to pull in a new pipe simultaneously with the breaking up of the old pipe, the ram boring machine either has a pipe coupling at its rear end or is combined with a tubular casing with a coupling or holder for the follow-up pipe. In this case the tubular casing can have a conical tip by means of which the hole formed in the ground by the impact tip is widened and thereby brought to a diameter slightly larger than that of the follow-up pipe. In this way an easy and low-friction pulling in of the follow-up pipe or the new supply line is possible.
The invention will now be described in more detail by way of example with reference to two embodiments shown in the drawings. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 a longitudinal axial section through an old pipe and a ram boring machine according to the invention;
FIG. 2 shows the ram boring machine according to FIG. 1 with a different anvil bar;
FIG. 3 shows a plan view of the ram boring machine of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 shows an exploded view of the impact tip of the machine according to FIG. 2 with the tubular casing.
The ram boring machine according to the invention comprises a housing 1 with a self-guiding striker piston and is supplied with compressed air through a pipe. In the front part of the housing 1 is housed an impact tip 3 having an eye 4 for the attachment of a traction rope. The impact tip has a central hole 5 as a guide for an anvil bar 6, which in the embodiment according to FIG. 2 is provided at its rear end with a head 7 and engages with its front end in the recess 8 of a double blade 9 moveably housed in the impact tip 3. The double blade is guided by a front guide slot on an inner bolt member 11 of the impact tip 3 and is buffered against this inner spigot through a compression spring 12 and a spring plate 13.
In the interior of the housing the rear end of the impact tip 3 forms a stop shoulder 15 for the striker piston 2.
The double blade 9 is provided with two opposed impact blades 14 that project through slots 16 in the impact tip and serve to break up an old pipe 17. Seated on the outside of the rear part of the impact tip is the conical tip of a tubular casing 18 that surrounds the ram boring machine 1 and has a tip 19 and a holder 20 for a follow-up pipe or for the new pipe to be laid.
In laying a new supply pipe 21 without trenching, the striker piston 2 constantly reciprocates in the housing 1, under the influence of compressed air supplied to it via a pipe, between the anvil bar 6 or its head 7 and a rearward end position; on striking the anvil bar 6 or its head 7 it initially imparts its energy solely to the impact blades 14 via the bar 6 and the double blade 9.
The more the old pipe 17 is broken up, the further can the impact blades 14 move forward against the pressure of the spring 12 under the influence of the blows of the striker piston 2, until finally the striker piston 2, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, or the anvil head 7, in the embodiment of FIG. 2, comes up against the stop shoulder 15. The striker piston then imparts its energy essentially to the impact tip 3 and thus to the housing 1. The housing, and with it the impact tip 3, then moves stepwise into the broken-up part of the old pipe 17 until the impact blades 14 come up against the unbroken end of the pipe and resume their rearward starting position shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. The anvil bar then again extends beyond the stop shoulder until a section of the old pipe is again broken up and the striker piston or the head 7 of the anvil bar again comes up against the stop shoulder 15.
Thus, under the influence of the compression spring 12 and, as the case may be, of a traction rope attached to the eye 4 on the one hand, and of the striker piston 2 on the other, the impact blades 14 constantly move to and fro in the rhythm of the movement of the striker piston, while the machine 1 and its impact tip 3 remain substantially fixed, until the breaking-up operation has been performed and the machine 1 and the impact tip 3 move forward stepwise under the influence of the striker piston 2 meeting the stop shoulder 15 with simultaneous forcing away of the ground region lying in front of the impact tip 3 and the tip 19 of the tubular casing, without a breaking-up operation being performed. Thus the laying of a new supply pipe is completed in two separate phases: a breaking-up phase with the machine at rest and an advancing and penetrating phase during which a breaking-up operation is not performed.

Best Restaurant Trend St. Louis 2006 - The prix is fixe
When Niche opened its doors late last year in Benton Park, it carved out an instant niche thanks to its prix-fixe dinner option. While the menu was arranged a la carte, diners were welcome to curate their own three-course mealappetizer, entr?e, dessertand pay only $30 for the privilege. Larry Forgione's virtuous, wondrous An American Place has begun offering a six- or nine-course chef's tasting menu (with or without wine pairings) to entice diners who might be wary of the establishment's elite reputation and/or steep prices. Six courses and six glasses of wine for $99 per person isn't cheapeven when you get delicacies like an heirloom tomato tartlet, cured lamb shoulder, roasted sweet corn with Jonah crab meat and Hawaiian chocolate lava cakebut damned if it ain't a value. Then there's Downtown Restaurant Week, a national trend that arrived here last summer, offering three-course, $25 dinners at more than twenty downtown restaurants, no coupons required. Yep, value does make the vittles taste better; no shame in that.

Steam Pumping Engine - Austral Otis, No.8 Pumping Engine, MMBW Spotswood Sewerage Pumping Station, 1911 Reg. No: ST 038266
- Summary:
- In 1902 the Melbourne & Metropolitan Board of Works began operating a new steam pumping engine at the Spotswood sewerage pumping station. It was built by Hathorn Davey & Co. of Leeds, UK. This engine was an inverted vertical rotative direct-acting triple-expansion surface-condensing design, it featured fully steam-jacketed cylinders and inter-cylinder steam receivers. This engine proved to be 70% more efficient than the four locally-built Thompson & Co Worthington type triple-expansion engines installed at Spotswood between 1895 and 1897 and 28% more efficient than the single Austral Otis Engineering Co pumping engine installed in No. 6 pumping well in 1901.
When the MMBW required additional pumping engines in 1909, Austral Otis were asked to prepare plans for four new engines, this time based largely on the successful Hathorn Davey design, with a few minor modifications. The first two new Austral Otis engines were commissioned in June and July 1911, followed by the remaining two in mid-1914. Four additional boilers, again supplied by Thompson & Co. of Castlemaine, were installed in 1909 in preparation for these engines. This brought the plant at the pumping station to a total of ten manually-stoked coal-fired boilers and ten steam pumping engines, each of about 300 horsepower, with a combined pumping capacity of 80 million gallons per day (363 ML/day).
This engine is located in the No. 8 pumping well at the southern end of the North Engine Room. It was installed in July 1911. Since 1992 this engine has been operated on compressed air and is regularly demonstrated to Scienceworks visitors.

Bad Monkeyby Carl Hiaasen
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
Carl Hiaasen is back doing what he does best: spinning a wickedly funny, fiercely pointed tale in which the greedy, the corrupt, and the degraders of pristine land in Florida — now, in the Bahamas too — get their comeuppance in mordantly ingenious, diabolically entertaining fashion.
Andrew Yancy — late of the Miami Police, soon-to-be-late of the Key West Police — has a human arm in his freezer. There's a logical (Hiaasenian) explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident/shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, his commander might relieve him of Health Inspector duties, aka Roach Patrol. But first Yancy will negotiate an ever-surprising course of events — from the Keys to Miami to a Bahamian out island — with a crew of equally ever-surprising characters, including: the twitchy widow of the frozen arm; an avariciously idiotic real estate developer; a voodoo witch whose lovers are blinded-unto-death by her particularly peculiar charms; Yancy's new love, a kinky medical examiner; and the eponymous Bad Monkey, who earns his place among Hiaasen's greatest characters with hilariously wicked aplomb.
Andrew Yancy — late of the Miami Police and soon-to-be-late of the Monroe County sheriff's office — has a human arm in his freezer. There's a logical (Hiaasenian) explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its shadowy owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident/shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might rescue him from his grisly Health Inspector gig (it's not called the roach patrol for nothing). But first — this being Hiaasen country — Yancy must negotiate an obstacle course of wildly unpredictable events with a crew of even more wildly unpredictable characters, including his just-ex lover, a hot-blooded fugitive from Kansas; the twitchy widow of the frozen arm; two avariciously optimistic real-estate speculators; the Bahamian voodoo witch known as the Dragon Queen, whose suitors are blinded unto death by her peculiar charms; Yancy's new true love, a kinky coroner; and the eponymous bad monkey, who with hilarious aplomb earns his place among Carl Hiaasen's greatest characters.
Here is Hiaasen doing what he does better than anyone else: spinning a tale at once fiercely pointed and wickedly funny in which the greedy, the corrupt, and the degraders of what's left of pristine Florida — now, of the Bahamas as well — get their comeuppance in mordantly ingenious, diabolically entertaining fashion.
About the Author
Carl Hiaasen was born and raised in Florida. He is the author of twelve previous novels, including the best-selling Lucky You, Nature Girl, Sick Puppy, Skinny Dip, and Star Island, and four best-selling children's books, Chomp, Flush, Hoot, and Scat.

Elsewhere, wind advisories as well as winter weather advisories, winter storm warnings, and a red flag warning all will be in effect today as strong, cold blustery winds with scattered rain and snow spread across the west. Fire danger will be high in parts of Arizona and New Mexico due to dry conditions aggravated by expected winds.
The most dangerous winds will be limited to mostly northern Utah and Nevada, while strong winds will spread throughout most areas west of the continental divide.
Rain and snow will be limited mostly to the central and northern Rocky Mt. States during the next 48 hours.
An 998 millibar low over Montana is forecast to intensify and progress south and eastward, with centers of 990 and 992 millibars due over Kansas and Nebraska respectively by later this evening. This, in conjunction with strong high pressure of 1036 millibars off the west coast will generate strong surface pressure gradients, while in the upper levels, winds of 80 to 120 knots at about 30,000 ft. will be present above the western states during the next 24 to 36 hours.
Winds should gradually diminish during the day on Tuesday.
The southern boundary of these winds will encompass southern California, where wind advisories will be in effect beginning later today for mountain and desert areas. 30 to 40 mph winds can be expected in these regions, with possible gusts as high as 65 mph in favored west to east oriented mountain passes and canyons.
Only light to moderately breezy conditions are forecast for greater Los Angeles.

Erlenmeyer flask
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2012)
An Erlenmeyer flask or conical flask[1] is a type of laboratory flask which features a flat bottom, a conical body, and a cylindrical neck. It is named after the German chemist Emil Erlenmeyer, who created it in 1860.[2]
Erlenmeyer flasks have wide bases, with sides that taper upward to a short vertical neck. They may be graduated, and often spots of ground glass or enamel are used where they can be labeled with a pencil. It differs from the beaker in its tapered body and narrow neck.[3]
The mouth of the Erlenmeyer flask can have a beaded lip that can be stoppered using a piece of cotton wool, rubber bung, or similar. Alternatively, the neck may be fitted with a female ground glass joint to accept a glass stopper.
The tapered sides and narrow neck of this flask allow the contents of the flask to be mixed by swirling, without risk of spillage, making them suitable for titrations. Such features similarly make the flask suitable for boiling liquids. Hot vapors condense on the upper section of the Erlenmeyer flask, reducing solvent loss. Erlenmeyer flasks' narrow necks can also support filter funnels.
The last two attributes of Erlenmeyer flasks make them especially appropriate for recrystallization. The sample to be purified is heated to a boil, and sufficient solvent is added for complete dissolution. The receiving flask is filled with a small amount of solvent, and heated to a boil. The hot solution is filtered through a fluted filter paper into the receiving flask. Hot vapors from the boiling solvent keep the filter funnel warm, avoiding the premature crystallization.
Erlenmeyer flasks are also used in microbiology for the preparation of microbial cultures. Plastic or glass Erlenmeyer flasks used in cell culture are sterilized and may feature vented closures to enhance gas exchange during incubation and shaking. The use of minimal liquid volumes, typically no more than one fifth of the total flask volume, and baffles molded into the flask's internal surface both serve to maximize gas transfer and promote chaotic mixing when the flasks are orbitally shaken.
To impede illicit drug manufacturers, the state of Texas has restricted the sale of Erlenmeyer flasks to those who have the requisite permits. [4][5]

High Street on Market Restaurant Review: Old City American bistro Fork has long had an adjacent market-based offshoot --- Fork etc. --- that specialized in soups, sandwiches and other gourmet-to-go items. But under current Fork executive chef Eli Kulp, the spot has morphed into High Street on Market, a full-fledged restaurant offering breakfast, lunch and dinner. Gone is the giant chef's table, replaced by more conventional tables and chairs, and the room is now dominated by an open kitchen. Emphasis is on locally sourced products, including appetizing breads and pastries baked daily, and house-bottled cocktails such as the Vesper and Manhattan. At breakfast, choose among such items as pastrami and hash, a riff on the classic pastrami sandwich with spiced hash, a farm egg and Russian dressing, and pastries. Sandwiches figure mightily in lunch choices with new takes on Philly classics --- think roast pork with fermented broccoli rabe and sharp provolone. In the evening, a parade of enticing vegetarian-friendly appetizers, notably the squash hummus with spicy chermoula, set the stage for Kulp's innovative pastas. Black seaweed bucatini with shaved lobster bottarga tastes like the ocean distilled in pasta form, while coils of beet corzetti are made briny-good with the addition of marinated sardines. Desserts, including an affogato with sweet corn ice cream, espresso and biscotti, and a buttermilk-oat panna cotta, end the meal on a savory-sweet note.

I remembered someone proposing some sort of Duffy meet up where we could meet up and bring our duffys and hang out. Since we now have own fan club name on MC, I figured an inagural meet up should take place to get it rolling after 2 months of establishing a Duffy section on MC.
So i'm ready to organize the first Duffeteer Society of Tenders, Artists & Romantics club meet up if any are interested.
So let me know and i'll start planning it!

Jakes Indoor Playworld overview
Wonderful place to go when the weather prevents outside activities or when you just want to sit & read a magazine and watch your children let off steam! This play area is big enough for brave adults too, I've seen many a mum and dad racing their children to the enormous wavy slide, even grandparents enjoy squeezing through tunnels and jumping into ball pools. There is a separate area for the ... under 4s with more relaxed soft play and a café area serving snacks and lunches. Kids parties are popular here and they organise story reading and special activities too. They also have a garden at the back with traditional garden toys for some fresh air and a change of scenery!

Visited with: Infant, Child
Great for little kids and big kids alike! I've been going there with my daughter since she was 1 year old so she has used the safe separated area for smaller children and now has joined the bigger ones to run about in the main section - there is something for everyone. Parents can either join in or just sit & relax. Food is reasonably priced and the staff are friendly. Also has a new pets corner, with rabbits and guinea pigs which the little kids just love! Be warned though it does get very crowded during the winter months - so try to go early or late to avoid the rush

Malfunction at statewide Internet provider left University disconnected
Tuesday night, right in the midst of midterms week, Internet campus wide went down.
Rob Belinski, a representative for Information and Technology Services operations, confirmed Tuesday that students on University computers would be able to access CTools, umich.edu and Wolverine Access because they are housed on the University's intranet, which is powered by local servers. However, any non-University websites were not accessible.
Although University email can be accessed, it appeared that no mail can be received or sent.
During the outage, the Internet was not connected to the University server, making CTools and Wolverine Access inaccessible to outside users. Belinski gave no estimated time of when the Internet will be fixed. He said the problem stems from Merit Network, an Ann Arbor-based Internet Service Provider for Michigan's public universities.
"We've got all hands on deck, we're trying to figure it out," said Merit CEO Donald Welch.
Welch was not immediately able to determine the source of the issue, but said Merit was experiencing "a lot" of problems. He said the issue started at around 11 p.m.
Michigan State University, Eastern Michigan University, Grand Valley State University and Washtenaw Community College also all experienced technical issues.
Internet was fully restored at 4:52 a.m. Wednesday. Elwood Downing, a spokeswoman for Merit Network, said the company's technicians determined the source of the issue was at one of Merit's core routers located in Chicago, where Merit engineers were able to determine the core router was not forwarding the packets to the greater internet.
Once the company discovered the issue, Downing said the engineers moved everything over manually to another path.
Downing said the problem only affected a small percentage of people Merit Network serves, as the malfunction occurred after normal business hours. She added that Merit engineers are reviewing the incident further to determine if it was a hardware or software malfunction at the core router.

One, the cable companies simply did not encourage them due to the amount of monthly rental fees associated with cable boxes. They make too much money with those boxes to promote an alternative solution. Second: the limitations of the card. Cables boxes cost more to the consumer, but they do offer a lot more features. The current implementation of Cable Cards only offer a one way communication stream and therefore cannot have the same interactive features like the on-screen guide or Video-on-Demand.
We think it is really the second part there. It is the lack of services that killed the Cable Card. Sure, the cable companies didn't help, but it was the downgrading feeling that kicked 'em to the wayside. Do you use a Cable Card in your HDTV?

COVINGTON - The Rev. Clara Lett and members of her staff at Rainbow Community Center recently took a trip to Washington, D.C., to minister to the homeless and attend a national conference where President George W. Bush spoke.Lett, along with Minister Cheryl Heard and Pastor Patricia White, was invited to attend the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives Innovations in Effective Compassion National Conference from June 25 to 30. The invite came as a result of the work of Rainbow Community Center, which operates a food bank and holds programs for the less fortunate in Newton County, and the Garden of Gethsemane Homeless Shelter. Both services operate under the umbrella of Rainbow Covenant Ministries, under Lett's direction. At the conference, Lett and her staff were joined by members of the president's cabinet, OFBCI Director Jay Hein and more than 1,000 public and private sector leaders. The purpose of the conference was to explore and expand the ways the OFBCI is transforming government's approach to human need, in partnership with faith-based and community organizations, to solve problems from addiction and homelessness to malaria and HIV/AIDS. The highlight of the conference was a surprise appearance by President Bush, who expressed gratitude for the work of faith-based programs and encouraged those in attendance to seek federal funding for their initiatives. In addition to the conference, Lett and her staff joined members of The Nazarene Church in Washington on a mission to help feed and care for the homeless living in one of the local parks. There, they fed 400 people and set up trailers where they gave haircuts and pedicures and allowed people to take showers. Lett said the trip was eye-opening: She saw many people sleeping under bridges and realized Newton County is well on its way to that reality. There are already people sleeping under the Alcovy Road bridge, she said. Lett said they are seeing an increase in people needing shelter, especially the second week of every month, when eviction notices are typically issued. "People just can't make it right now. It's not that they're not trying, but (jobs) aren't there," Lett said, noting that she has had to be more lenient on a requirement that residents at the shelter find a job within three weeks. There has also been a significant increase in food distributed by the food bank, which is open Mondays and Fridays. "Right now, there's a large increase in people who need food. Their food stamps are not taking them through the month," Lett said. While the food bank used to serve 10 families per week, now it serves between 30 and 40 families, she said. "Now you have to make a choice of whether to put gas in your tank or buy food," she said. The increase in demand is putting a strain on food bank funds, which are obtained largely from donations from the community, Lett said. The Atlanta Food Bank charges 18 cents per pound of food, and currently between 3,000 and 4,000 pounds of food is being purchased every two weeks, at a cost of about $500 each time, she said. The food bank did receive a boost in June, when a federal grant allowed the distribution of 18,000 pounds of food, benefiting 232 families and more than 800 individuals. But the food bank and shelter are still in critical need of help. "People really need to tap into what the need is," said Heard. "There are so many people in Newton County in need." Rainbow Ministries is currently seeking donations of food, towels, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant and underwear. Lett hopes increased demands for shelter and food will be better met when Rainbow moves to a new location on Turner Lake Circle in late fall. The new site will have more space, she said, and perhaps most importantly, could open the door for more state and federal funding. The shelter has been unable to obtain grants because of ongoing litigation with the city of Porterdale, but the city has agreed to drop its lawsuit now that the shelter is moving, Lett said. Anyone who would like to donate to the shelter or food bank can drop off items at 9 Hemlock Street in Porterdale. For more information, call 770-787-8519. Crystal Tatum can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Joseph Palermo: Despite the work of media watchdog groups like Media Matters, and groups that track right-wing extremism, like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League, the corporate media insist on ignoring the influence of the Far Right's toxic rhetorical drumbeat of hatred and anger in promoting a political context where violence can break out.
Build the Mosque, But Don't Stop There

Bill Clinton: Disorientation And 'People Looking For Anchors' Explain Arizona's New Immigration Laws
Andrea Christina Nill: Now, we have the highest percentage of Americans who have been out of work for six months or more than we've had in decades. This is disorientating and people are looking for anchors to make life simple and understandable and digestable again and sometimes with the idea that they need to go back to an idyllic time that never existed. That's a big part of the explanation for this anti-immigration law that Arizona just passed or the idea that we out to bring back Confederate month in Virginia without saying anything about slavery.

(Oprah.com) -- When it comes to decorating my house, I consider myself a "qualitative methodologist" -- someone who believes in considering many factors before judging the real value of an item. The most important considerations are what I call the three Cs: cost, conceptual value, and corporeal sensation.
Cost, of course, is the actual price of an object. Conceptual value refers to facts about an item, such as its being the work of a famous designer or having been owned by the Queen of Siam. Corporeal sensation is your body's purely physical reaction to seeing, feeling, hearing, touching or tasting something.
Most of us focus too heavily on one or two of these Cs, and that's like sitting on a stool with fewer than three legs.
Common errors ... and how to start emphasizing true quality.
Error Mode 1: Overemphasizing cost
"Ask me where I've been," my friend Linda commanded one day.
"Where've you been, Linda?" I asked, though the rustle of tissue being unwrapped from newly purchased goods was unmistakable, even over the phone.
"I've been shopping," Linda said. "Ask me what I bought."
"What did you buy, Linda?"
"Three hand towels. Ask me how much I spent."
"How much did you spend, Linda?"
"Six hundred dollars."
Since this conversation, I actually have used Linda's $200 hand towels. They're nice. Are they $200 worth of nice? Maybe I'm betraying my lowly origins here -- I could sleep on a mattress stuffed entirely with peas -- but I'd have to say no. Linda's towels feel no better to my untrained epidermis than towels that cost a tenth as much. I can't help wishing she'd bought $20 towels and sent the other $180 per towel to the good folks in Darfur.
But Linda is proud of her towels, as she is of everything in her home, for the sole reason that everything in it costs a mint. Her definition of high quality is synonymous with high price. Now, this can be a useful calculus: Often the most expensive item really is the best. But people like Linda spend vast amounts on cons and crap, too -- and as a result, they can end up in a heap of financial trouble.
Error Mode 2: Overemphasizing conceptual value
Bruce has a dazzling apartment, but no one wants to be in it.
While the stark modernism of his furniture is striking, sitting on it is about as comfortable as being repeatedly struck in the backside. Bruce's art collection (enormous full-body photographs of an elderly man wearing only a hat) is dreamlike, but not in a good way. Even Bruce feels uneasy in the space.
However, because the concept came from a designer he respects, Bruce grits his teeth, keeps his eyes off the full Monty, and thinks he is living well.
Conceptual value comes from what we know about an object rather than what we experience with our senses. It's what makes Grandma's wedding ring more precious to us than an identical ring owned by someone else's grandmother, or what turns snapshots of loved ones into precious treasures. It also makes many of us stretch our budgets to buy designer-name items or shop from high-end suppliers, since a lowlier design or store tag makes us fear being déclassé.
If everything in your home has to be explained or identified to impress you or your social circle, then get out of your mind and into your body. What does your skin feel when you touch a certain fabric? What about it makes your eyes widen? What scents and flavors make you sigh? If such things happen to have historic significance or designer labels& well, that's fine. But don't make choices based only on concepts in your head -- it's your whole body that lives in your home.
Error Mode 3: Overemphasizing corporeal sensation
To my way of thinking, it's hard to overemphasize the physical experience of the things you put in your home. If something is beautiful to the eyes and ears, sensual to the touch, or delicious to the nose and tongue, then I'm sold. But when I focus only on how an item makes me feel, then I'm not connecting with the broader social context around me.
That's why I remind myself to pay attention to other characteristics such as quality. Considering what the object means, where it comes from, and how other people value it are factors that help me feel proud of my home and excited to let others experience it.
Finding your quality sweet spot
Achieving a balance between the three Cs ensures that you'll get maximum enjoyment from the things in your home -- and that your possessions will retain their beauty and usefulness. You can strike this balance by seeking one more C: financial, conceptual, and corporeal comfort.
Before buying anything for your home, whether paper cups or roofing, ask yourself three questions:
Am I spending enough to feel that I'm treating myself well, but not so much that I feel the manic panic of the compulsive shopper?
Do I like the things my mind associates with this object, or do the concepts feel shallow and soulless?
Am I striking a balance between what my body enjoys and the need to connect with culture and fashion?
If you can answer yes to all three questions, then you've got a winner. You've defined high quality for yourself -- a very valuable skill.

ArtTextry is the marriage between art and text (Thought), the relation and reflection of one with the other. I thought that creating posters would be the best medium to showcase such a marriage. ArtTextry posters may be proudly displayed as they serve as a source of daily inspiration. The artwork, tastefully done, by very talented local artist here in Miami, will draw you near to read. The text, quotes from the new book entitled "NOW O' CLOCK" and authored by William Garcia, will inspire you to "Think", to "Be" and to "Do".
Are you looking for unique inspirational artwork? Something that you don't see in everyone else's home or office? ArtTextry is the answer for you. There are currently 8 ArtTextry posters available with more coming in the future. Each poster contains a poem or quote written by William Garcia. Artwork enhances the poem or quote of each poster, and is created by local artists.
Purpose and Passion
Life and time are two parallel lines on a single page,
where stories of life have endings; where time does not.
Let your story be told, as one lived with
purpose and passion.
by William Garcia
I was privileged to be able to choose an ArtTextry poster to review. I chose Purpose and Passion (shown above, frame not included). William provides "the thinking behind the quote" for his artwork. Purpose and Passion spoke to my heart. The bottom line for me is that my life stories will continue even when I have left this earth. I need to live my life to the fullest, honoring God with all that I do. How do you want your story to be told? How do you want others to remember you? Are there changes you want to make now that you have read this quote? It has made me realize that I do have changes to make so that my life story ends full of purpose and passion.
I love the blue sky and open road in this poster. Along with the rolling clouds, mountains, green grass, it makes me feel like I really am in the great outdoors. I highly recommend ArtTextry. I feel you will be very pleased with any poster you choose.
This is a closeup of the quote on Purpose and Passion.
The titles of the available ArtTextry posters are as follows:
- Now
- Respect
- Lady Feminique Classic
- Lady Feminique Contemporary
- Nothing
- Cooperation
- Open To Life
- Purpose and Passion
You can view all 8 ArtTextry Posters on their website. Connect with them on Facebook and Twitter.
William has graciously agreed to provide 2 winners with their choice of his ArtTextry posters (frame not included).
Enter on the giveaway form below for your chance to win.
All entries will be verified.

Holiday Sweets and Treats
Posted By Amy On December 19, 2012 @ 11:07 pm In Uncategorized | 2 Comments
I'm all about the pies at Thanksgiving, but for Christmas and New Years, bring on the finger foods! A healthy (or notsomuch) dose of sweets and treats is one of my favorite things about the holiday season. Here are some that we enjoy.
No-Fail Peanut Butter Cocoa Fudge [3] ~ So rich, and truly could not be easier.
Christmas Bark [4] ~ Even if I make nothing else, my husband will request this one.
Amish Sugar Cookies [5] ~ We're decorating another batch of these after school tomorrow.
No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars (like Reese's) [6] ~Chocolate and peanut butter may just be my favorite combination ever.
Pretzel Turtles (With Rolo Candies) [7] ~ Ok, maybe chocolate and caramel are my favorite combination…
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cookies [8] ~ These taste fantastic, but I like them just for the fun mini-muffin shape.
Rice Krispy Roll [9] ~ Such a fun way to revive an old favorite.
Salty Sweet Party Popcorn [10] ~ Beware the addiction! And here's a collection of several other popcorn recipes. [11]
Savory Snack Crackers [12] ~ I packaged these for teacher gifts this year. So yum!
Caramel-Wrapped, Chocolate Covered Pretzels [13] ~ Less mess for a favorite treat!
Red Cinnamon Popcorn [14] ~ Can't.Stop.Eating.It. Makes a pretty gift, too!
What foods do you most look forward to at Christmastime?

About 8 p.m. on Sept. 14, 1971, I was standing in a phone booth on Forest Avenue in Knoxville making a call to Mary Pat to wish her Happy Birthday.
It's just another of those distinct memories I have retained for no particular reason, but I remember being extremely happy because my boyfriend was standing outside the phone booth waiting for me.
Mary Pat and I have known each other since fourth grade when I first moved to Knoxville, though we weren't friends then. She was just the girl with platinum blond hair, who talked incessantly in a husky voice that made the 9-year-old sound like she'd been raised on smoky scotch and Chesterfields.
She wasn't the most popular girl in class — that honor fell to Molly G. — but she was a force to be reckoned with. By seventh grade, she was the one hosting slumber parties, flirting with boys, practicing cheers in her driveway, yearning for her driver's license. She was all geared up to be a teenager, while I was still clinging to childhood for all it was worth.
Unfortunately I was thrown from preteen rehearsal to full-fledged high school when we moved to Atlanta the next year. I saw Mary Pat once in the intervening two-and-a-half years — at my friend Diane's house where M.P. stopped by still wearing the bridesmaid's dress she wore in her sister's wedding that morning.
When we moved back to Knoxville months later, I fell in with Mary Pat and her "crowd," but I can't remember exactly why. Within a short time she and I were "best friends."
There couldn't be two girls less alike. She was full of energy, talkative, athletic, up for anything, adaptable, outgoing. I was none of those things. She was a cheerleader; I was the cheerleader's friend. So, I took a backseat to her through 10th and 11th grades, and that was fine with me.
By Christmas break our senior year, I'd had it with my life. Everything was changing, and I wanted to change, too. I'm not sure this is typical, but I remember telling Mary Pat, I was tired of what we were doing, I wanted to be a hippie. Over Christmas break, I swapped wool slacks for blue jeans, put up my contact lenses and eyeliner and bought a pair of moccasins. Mary Pat and I strung beaded bracelets and necklaces, and found a new group of friends.
Looking back, I realize that may not have been our best decision, but the next few years were an awful lot of fun.
When we were 20, her parents moved out of state. She followed not long after and enrolled in nursing school, where she found her true calling.
Somehow we kept in touch, and I served as a bridesmaid in her wedding. She was a bridesmaid in mine.
When I was diagnosed with cancer, she became one of my biggest cheerleaders. She'd had lots of practice.
Friday I wished Mary Pat Happy Birthday via Facebook post. Technology has changed, but my best wishes for my friend remain the same as 41 years ago, when I slipped a dime into a pay phone and heard that familiar husky voice say, "Hello."

If you drink and drive in Oklahoma, beware: The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is joining with law enforcement agencies across the state and throughout the nation for the тАЬDrive Sober or Get Pulled OverтАЭ campaign Aug. 16 through Sept. 2.
Law enforcement officers will be aggressively looking for impaired drivers, arresting anyone who is caught driving while impaired.
тАЬOn average there is one alcohol impaired driving-related fatality every 53 minutes across the country,тАЭ said OHP Lt. Garrett Vowell, statewide impaired driving enforcement coordinator. тАЬThis tragic loss of life can be prevented if we get impaired drivers off our roadways.тАЭ
It is illegal in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher. Despite these laws, in 2011 nearly 10,000 people died in U.S. crashes in which a driver or motorcycle rider was impaired.
тАЬIf you plan to drink, always designate a non-drinking driver,тАЭ Vowell said. тАЬDrunk driving is a crime, not an accident.тАЭ
In Oklahoma in 2012, four people died in vehicle crashes over the Labor Day weekend. Two of the fatalities occurred in alcohol-related crashes; an additional 17 people were injured in alcohol-related crashes.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In Illustrator CS5 Essential Training, author Mordy Golding explains the core concepts and techniques that apply to any workflow in Illustrator, whether designing for print, the web, or assets for other applications. This course includes a detailed explanation of the elements that make up vector graphics—paths, strokes, and fills—and shows how to use each of the Illustrator drawing tools. Also demonstrated are techniques for combining and cleaning up paths, organizing paths into groups and layers, text editing, working with color, effects, and much more. Exercise files accompany the course.
So far in this chapter we've been talking about features that help you view your documents so that you can work more easily. We know that you can hide selection edges. We know that we can use Smart Guides to highlight certain objects. We know that we can even define custom views. Well, there is another important setting inside of Illustrator, which is your ability to lock objects or even hide them completely from view. I'll go to my Artboards panel and I'm going to double-click on the Branding artboard to have that one focused on my screen. Now, say we are working with this artwork. I can click on these elements to move them around, but maybe I want to deal with focusing on just the hansel & petal text.
I want to move that around my screen, but I don't want to accidentally move any of the flowers. I really like where the flowers are right now. And I don't want to accidentally select one of them and move them and lose all that synergy that's going on. So, here is one thing that I can do. I can click and drag to select these areas here and then simply hold down the Shift key and click on let's say just the word hansel & petal right here to deselect that. So now all these elements are selected except for this text. I'll now go to the Object menu and I'll choose Lock > Selection.
Now, you'll see that if I click-and-drag to try to select these elements I can't. They are not able to be selected. The only thing that I can select is the hansel & petal text. In fact, it can be quite often that when you have very complex artwork that you are working with that you'll lock a lot of the artwork that you don't accidentally select it. That also lets you work more quickly, because you can easily just click on the artwork that you need. To unlock your artwork you can simply go back to the Object menu and choose Unlock All. It's important to realize that there is no really way in Illustrator for you to unlock just one individual object.
In a future chapter we'll see that you could lock individual objects used in the Layers panel, but for now there is an Unlock All Object, which simply releases all the artwork that was locked. Another option that you have is hiding artwork. Let's say that I know that right now this flower is just the way that I want it. It's in position. It looks just how I wanted to be, but I want to focus on some other areas right now and I really don't need to see that right now. Instead of locking it I can go back to the Object menu and I can choose Hide > Selection. In doing so, the artwork still exists in my document.
It's just hidden from view right now. In some aspects this is better than locking it, because I certainly can't select it now. It's not even visible on my screen. And it really lets me focus on different areas of my artwork. If I want to reveal that artwork again, I'll go back to the Object menu and choose Show All. So, when you are working with complex artwork, know that you have the ability to both lock and hide objects, but perhaps more importantly it's good to know about these features because often when working with other people's files they may have locked certain objects and you may be trying to select that artwork and you're not able to, the reason why is because those people may have locked certain elements in the artwork and the only way that you can work with that artwork is to unlock it first.
Likewise, you may get a document from somebody else and they may have hidden certain elements in that file. If you're having trouble selecting files or if it appears as if something is missing, you might want to go to the Object menu and just make sure that the Show All or the Unlock All settings are not available. If they are, that means that some objects are hidden or locked.

Made this tonight for hubby excluded the mussels and clams which he does not like and used fresh veggies that I sauteed. Added some lemon pepper seasoning. He loved it. Thanks so much for the post.
My husband feel in love all over again today.I made a few changes for taste reasons but basically I followed the recipe as written.
I used spicey sausage and made my stir fry vegetables from my garden that I froze this summer.
I don't eat seafood and I am making an effort to learn how to cook it for my seafood loving husband. So after the vegetables and sausage finished cooking I removed some for my self and continued on with the recipe.
The first thing Bill said as I set the bowl in front of him was you are learning girl! He took his first bite and then didn't say another word until his dish was empty. He declared it wonderful filling and full of flavor.
This dish makes even the most amateur of cooks look good. A good dish to serve when you want to impress the boss or in laws.

A coalition of Indonesian rights groups announced a plan on Tuesday to report Australia to the UN for their detention of underage Indonesian fishermen, many of whom have been detained for a year or two.
The Human Rights Working Group (HRWG) said it was currently preparing to file the case with the UN Human Rights Committee, which monitors 162 UN member states' compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the ICCPR.
"According to an international human rights instrument and the Convention on the Rights of the Child that Australia and Indonesia have ratified, people categorized as children cannot be detained," Ali Akbar, the program manager with the HRWG, said on Tuesday.
He added that some 50 underage Indonesian fishermen were currently detained in a number of Australian jails due to their alleged involvement in people smuggling activities.
"Freeing these underage fishermen is very urgent and important at the moment, considering that they've been detained for one year or two before undergoing court processes," HRWG deputy director Choirul Anam said.
Lisa Hiariej, an Australia-based Indonesian lawyer, said many of the children detained were clueless as to what they had done, and that they were only used by people smugglers to support their activities.
"They did the job because of financial difficulties and because they're blind about legal issues. They know nothing about people smuggling; they only work as cooks or do the laundry on board the boats," Lisa said.
Ali said the HRWG was working on the plan to report the issue to the UN with an Australian rights group, but he did not identify the organization.

Rudman Center - Fellowships & Scholarships
Warren B. Rudman Fellows Program
The Warren B. Rudman Fellows Program provides full-tuition scholarships, guaranteed summer fellowships, individualized curricular planning, and on- and off-campus leadership opportunities to exceptionally well-qualified applicants with a demonstrated interest in public service following their law school graduation. The first two Warren B. Rudman fellows enrolled in the law school in the fall 2014.
Robert J. Dole Fellows Program (fall 2015)
Senators Warren B. Rudman and Robert J. Dole worked tirelessly on behalf of veterans' affairs, and were themselves military combat veterans. Consistent with their values and vision, the Rudman Center will offer a Robert J. Dole Fellows Program beginning in the fall of 2015.
The Robert J. Dole Fellows program will enable all who have served honorably in any branch of the military, or who continue to so serve, to attend law school with tuition assistance designed to leverage veteran's educational benefits with fellowship funds to eliminate or significantly reduce tuition.
The Program also will provide summer placements and stipends to students (veterans or otherwise) with an interest in performing legal work on behalf of veterans and their families.
Rudman Summer Fellowships Program
The Rudman Summer Fellowships Program provides $4000 summer stipends to students who work for government agencies or for organizations that perform public interest legal work. Read about the Summer Fellows and their rewarding educational experiences. At present, the Rudman Center awards at least 20 summer fellowships per year. But as fundraising permits, the Rudman Center aspires to provide summer stipends to all UNH Law students who perform meaningful community service during the course of the preceding academic year. The 2015 Rudman Summer Fellows Application is no longer available.
Bruce E. Friedman Scholarship
The Bruce E. Friedman Scholarship is named for Professor Bruce E. Friedman, who for many years directed the school's Civil Practice Clinic. First and second year students who have been active in community service and demonstrate a commitment to the provision of legal services to underserved populations may apply for this scholarship.
Loan Repayment Assistance Program
The Loan Repayment Assistance Program is available to graduates who practice law in qualified public interest positions and make less than $55,000 per year. The program annually reimburses a portion of the law school loan repayments made by qualified individuals for up to five years following graduation.

511 Traffic Systems in NebraskaPage Overview
What Is 511?
511 is the easy telephone number that provides drivers in many states across America with traffic-related information. This information, much of which is gathered via the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), aims to assist drivers in safe and timely travel.
Nebraska's 511: Phone and Web
Fortunately, Nebraska is one of the states that offers 511 via telephone and online. To access the 511 traffic-related information, simply dial 5-1-1 and follow the prompts, or visit the official Nebraska 511 website.
Additional Information
Although information regarding weather, traffic conditions, construction work, and other road-related matters is updated as frequently as possible, the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) encourages drivers to check multiple resources before making travel plans.
In addition to Nebraska Traveler Information, you can find information about 511 and other traffic information sources when you check out Nebraska's Travel & Weather Info.
Other ideas include watching or contacting your local news station, and listening to or contacting your local radio station. You may also want to contact stations local to the area to which you're traveling.
