JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- School board member Jason Fischer held a town hall meeting to discuss budget questions with his constituents, but also got an earful of opinions about changing the name of Nathan Bedford Forrest High School.
"I believe it is time that Forrest High school had a new name," said Tom Hickman.
They lined up to speak to tell Fischer just how they felt about possibly changing the name of Nathan Bedford Forest High School, who historians say was the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.
Fischer said he was interested in hearing what his constituents had to say and the topic ended up being a major subject of discussion. Those that came did not hold back.
"Nathan Bedford Forrest is a Confederate general and very much a part of my heritage," said one woman who talked of her relatives that fought in the Civil War. "Do I believe he should be honored? Absolutely not."
"He was a dealer in flesh, in pain, in oppression, in exploitation. Is that what we want this city to be known for?" asked Wells Todd, a member of the Jacksonville Progressive Coalition.
Robert Wembley spoke of earlier days when he dealt with racism, and said it was still evident in this city. "This despicable man should have no kind of honor, and I cannot believe we have people who want to keep that name. It does not make sense at all."
1970 Forrest graduate Joan Cooper argued against the name change, saying it had no effect on the students at the school. She said other school names in Jacksonville bearing the names of Confederate generals would have to be changed and the money would be better spent on students.
Bodie Catlin with Friends of Forrest says a lot of untruths are being said about Forrest.
"After reading 8 books on Nathan Bedford Forrest, I know the man backwards and forwards. He did cause the Klan to be disbanded, I don't know if he was a member of the Klan or not, but he did cause it to be disbanded and it lay dormant for like 41 years. He did reach out to the black community, he spoke at the Pole Bearers meeting, which was a precursor to the NAACP."
Catlin said thousands of blacks attended his funeral.
Andy Johnson spoke out at the meeting and said that the school board that named the school in 1959 was upset over the desegregation ruling in the courts and wanted to send a message.
"To tell them we are for segregation. It is wrong to perpetuate something that was chosen as a way to say, we are for segregation, and I urge the school board to make the change."
Ty Richmond spoke as well. He is the Jacksonville resident who started a petition on change.org to change the name. His petition has 140,000 signatures as of Thursday night, 23,000 added in the last day. He started it because he said he believes the Forrest name advocates hate.
No decision has been made on when the school board might vote on a name change. Board member Connie Hall was asked by the school board members to survey the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and the students at the school, as well as the School Advisory Council and see where they stand on a name change. She is to report back her findings to the board at the end of October.
After the town hall meeting, Duval County Public Schools Superintendent Nikolai Vitti said he was glad to live in a country where people could listen to people with such polarizing opinions, yet show respect. Vitti said he believes it will take an organic voluntary effort to change the name.
Vitti said the next step is to see if the school's PTA, or School Advisory Council will solicit a name change, or an individual board member could make a recommendation. That would then mean a vote on the issue could take place among the school board.

Product Test: Toastabags
You can buy a package of two reusable toastabags at amazon.com for $8.99. They basically let you cook in your toaster!
Busy mom, Erin likes cooking with her two young kids and thought this product might be a good and easy way to do this.You basically make your sandwich (think grilled cheese) and put it in the bag and then put the bag in the toater. It actually 'grills' up the sandwich. Tester, Erin thought it was a good idea. The bags can be used over and over. It does take a bit of trial and error to get it how you like it. All in all, a good product worthy of two thumbs up.

Captain's Report by Capt. Steve
Mission Statement
According to Beneteau, the intent of the Barracuda 9 is to create a boat that can be used by avid anglers late into the season and in all kinds of weather. She's also a boat that can be a very capable cruiser for two people on a weekend retreat because she can go over 40 mph. A cruising couple can cruise long distances quickly and sleep aboard or ashore for an exciting nautical vacation. Her sea keeping qualities, great flexibility, and optimization of space make this boat truly unique.
The Barracuda 9 is offered in two versions, a flybridge version (to the right), and a hardtop version.
Distinguishing Features
The Barracuda 9 has several distinguishing features. Let's go over some of them--
• Air Step hull. We've seen this in our tests of other Beneteau models and found it to be an unqualified success. Air is injected under the hull from the topside (the only design that I know of that does that) reducing the drag of surface friction as the boat goes through the water. The Barracuda 9 pulls air from topside into two tubes that direct it to the keel where it is sucked by a vacuum under the boat.
See our full video on Air Step here.
The Air Step technology takes air from above the waterline and ducts it under the center of the hull. Here you can see an air scoop mounted against the cabin (repeated on the opposite side).
• Forward tilting transom seating. The cockpit is carried far back, almost to the engines. At first glance, it appears that this design will prevent the engines from being tilted of out the water, but the aft bench tilts forward into the cockpit and the engines then have room to come up. This allows maximum space in the cockpit when using the boat.
• Fully enclosed pilothouse. Again, with a boat in this class and size range we would expect to see an open helm deck and t-top. The Barracuda 9 design allows for a fully enclosed wheelhouse/salon with glass everywhere.
• Opening doors both port and starboard. Another feature usually seen only on much larger boats but without a doubt equally convenient here. I think this is a remarkable concept for this size boat and it makes single-handed docking on either side a snap for the skipper, to say nothing about working both sides of the boat when offshore fishing. When it is warm, simply open both doors for a cooling breeze. There are 12'' of clearance on each side of the pilothouse.
• Incredible versatility. We can think of no other boat on the market in North America in this class and size that can be adopted to so many different purposes. The Barracuda 9's advantages for fishermen (and fisherwomen) are obvious. What may not be so apparent is her ability to be a high-speed cruising boat for a couple. She draws only 2' (.62 m).
Here are the views of the Barracuda 9 without the optional flybridge and in this configuration she cuts a low-profile with an 8'4" (2.54 m) bridge clearance.
• Optional flying bridge. It's a small flying bridge to be sure but it is there nonetheless. Access is from a vertical ladder on the port cabin side. Bench seating for two provides a commanding view. It reminds me a bit of the first flying bridge that Ernest Hemingway put on Pilar -- it was simply a wheel, engine controls and a chair on the roof of the cabin. This serves the same purpose, but it is done more artfully.
• Foldaway salon tables. The salon can be used as a comfortable gathering area or quickly converted into a dining area for four. The arrangement reminds me of what you might see in a small private jet.
The rub rail creates a sloping sheer line affect while the freeboard remains at a high and dry level. Notice the elevated backrest to the flybridge seat for safety.
Performance Data
With an empty weight of 7,584 lbs (3,440 kg), 3/4 fuel, twin Yamaha four-strokes 225-hp engines and 5 people on board we had a test weight of 9,691 lbs (4,396 kg). The Yamahas were driving 19 x 15 propellers and we reached a top speed at 5200 rpm of 47.9 mph. At that speed we were burning 44.15 gph for range of 103 miles. Best cruise came in at 3500 rpm and 30.1 mph. That reduced the fuel burn to 17.55 gph which our test boat was able to maintain for five hours 24 min. and 163 miles while still maintaining a 10% reserve.
Handling Clearly a major component of the design feature was to provide speed to the fishing grounds but we found ourselves asking if she was slightly overpowered. The Barracuda 9 seems to handle the mid range of the power curve much better and that was where I found my hand settling more often than not. At full throttle the trim tabs start to become a major factor in her cruising attitude as well. I would certainly like to test this boat with smaller engines to see if my gut feeling is confirmed.
Clearly the Barracuda 9 is not designed solely for sedate cruises and protected waters. Our experience testing boats with the Air Step hulls show that they can handle more than you might think.
With the Air Step hull, four lifting strakes, and 450 horses doing the heavy work, the Barracuda 9 gets on plane in 3.6 seconds. Ladies will like being able to stay out of the wind, yet still be outside.
The Barracuda 9 was designed for either single or twin outboard engine installations. Customers can choose from various brand and power configurations, but Beneteau recommends the following: single 300- or 350-hp; twin 150-, 200- or 225-hp.
From a maneuverability standpoint, the twin installation seems to have the engines mounted fairly close together which lends itself more towards power than maneuverability in close quarters. However, my experience operating various models with the outboards just as close together showed that a practiced hand can still maneuver with precision and that holds true here. I had no problem maneuvering in the close confines of our dock and when the wind got a little too strong I did find myself giving a shot or two of bow thruster. Those boaters lacking the experience to competently maneuver around the dock with precision may want to opt for the addition of a bow thruster.
Notice the breaks in the transom just ahead of the two swim platforms. This allows the aft bench seat to be pulled forward into the cockpit to allow room to accommodate the engines in the tilted up position.
Features Walk-Through
Here's a view with the aft bench tilted forward allowing the engines to be raised out of the water. This is a very clever design feature that allows for more room in the cockpit, when the engines are down.
She comes with a roomy cockpit. Cockpit size matters and in this case it measures 8'2" by 1'3" (1.63 m x 2.5 m) for a total of 10.2 sq ft (.95 sq m). There are 4 rod holders and the gunwales can be ordered in plain or with solid wood covering boards.
Here's a good view of the cockpit from the flying bridge which shows the 3 deck hatches, 4 rod holders, and aft bench seat.
For seating, there is a large triple-wide aft bench seat measuring 8'2" by 1'3" (2.5 m x .38 m) that tilts forward with the aid of gas struts to allow for the engines to tilt forward.
Options: more seats, a sink and rigging station, or storage? At the forward end of the cockpit buyers can choose between three options. The standard configuration calls for a foldaway PVC cockpit bench seat, and this makes a great place to sit. The aft bench seat has an optional cockpit table that can reside in between the fore and aft facing bench seats for dining al fresco, cocktails and snacks.
Option #2: A second choice allows for a console with sink and work surface mounted against the wheelhouse. This can be a bait prep counter, a place to clean fish, or maybe place to put out drinks and snacks when entertaining aboard. Put a charcoal grill in one of the rod holders and make burgers on the counter.
Option #3: The third choice is a requirement for those opting for the generator, which is concealed in a cabinet with flat surface and drink holders.
Here's a view of the cockpit with the fold-away bench seat against the wheelhouse. This will allow for maximum room in the cockpit.
The bench deploys very quickly by simply lifting and swinging out the legs to support the seat.
As an option, eliminate the bench seat and go with this sink and work surface. But this certainly lends itself more towards fishing.
Choice number three is the optional genset which is housed in the above storage cabinet.
Not forgetting that the Barracuda 9 also can be a fishing boat, here is an option that we rarely see... a side net roller. It will also help bring a lobster or crab pot aboard.
An interesting feature on the Barracuda 9 is that there are side decks to both sides of the wheelhouse. They're 14'' (35.6 cm) wide going from 12"-14" (30.5 cm - 35.6 cm) with the cockpit depth running from 26" to 30" (.66 m – .75 m)
The bow features a bench seat forward of the pilothouse and two options are available that might be high on the list for anyone purchasing the Barracuda 9 for cruising. First is a foredeck Bimini that quickly deploys over the entire bow. Second is a foredeck sunbathing kit, basically a hammock-style lounge, running from the bench seat to the bow.
Clearly the bow area with its 30"-high (75 cm) bulwarks is a comfortable place to do some casting. Families with small children will like it because of the safety aspects. And the forward-facing bench seat is a thrilling place to sit when speeding along so long as the water is not too rough.
Here's a clever way to create shade at the bow, it simply snaps to the wheelhouse overhead and two poles drop in sockets at the bow. It's also stows very easily in a small space.
This hammock quickly converts the bow into a comfortable sunpad and as you can imagine, much like the forward sun shade this will stow quite easily into a small space.
Easily manage ground tackle. Fully forward the emphasis is on safety while handling the ground tackle. An optional windlass is secured to a teak platform with two stainless safety rails to either side. Further outboard are two hatches that lead to the rode storage locker. This space is large enough to hold two or three fenders.
At the caprails are two stainless cleats, the first of six including two midship cleats, but missing from the equation is an additional cleat mounted forward of the windlass for securing the deployed anchor. Currently, this job will be left to the anchor windlass, which Beneteau says is a better solution and is much stronger than a cleat.
This is an interesting feature that is usually seen only on much larger yachts. The crew is able to handle the ground tackle at waist height. This is an important feature that creates a considerable increase in the safety factor.
The twin hatches to either side of the windlass lead to rode storage and the remote control for the optional windlass. They will hold 2-3 fenders.
I think Beneteau did a good job of creating an excellent pilothouse while still allowing room for symmetrical side decks to both port and starboard. Let's start by taking a look at the aft bench seat where there is storage underneath. In the center is a 44.4 quart (42 L) optional refrigerator, and flip up tables to either side will turn the area into an impromptu dining area. The pilothouse lends itself well to accommodating four people, even while dining, with the captain and observer seats swiveled aft, and lowered, to face the tables. The pilothouse is surprisingly well finished out.
Headroom is 6'6" (1.97 m) and glass surrounds 360-degrees. There is storage both under the aft bench seat and in the sole.
Storage cubbies to both port and starboard make for a safe place for items that need to be accessed routinely. Notice the table in the flipped down position.
There are storage compartments under the aft bench to both the port and starboard side.
In the center of the aft bench is space for an optional refrigerator. For the casual overnights, or day on the water it's a perfect size.
Looking forward to the helm and observer's position. As we face forward in this enclosed cabin some additional features come into play. First are the two opening side doors to port and starboard. While this is a feature that is typically seen on much larger boats it is, without a doubt, a very convenient detail here. The starboard mounted helm has outstanding visibility.
An air of comfort. There's little concern for greenhouse effect thanks to the benefit of the two opening side doors, and the opening overhead sunroof. Air conditioning is an option.
With the helm and observer seat on adjustable pedestals they can not only be adjusted to dining height at the tables just behind, but also to a higher level to accommodate the better visibility needed while underway.
With the larger anodized aluminum frames being used to support the weight of the overhead and optional flying bridge, Beneteau is able to provide outstanding visibility forward.
A well laid out helm station. The helm station of the Barracuda 9 certainly has more high points going for it than low. In the high points category is the lack of clutter thanks to the dual (with twin engine installation) SmartCraft gauges to either side of the optional Lowrance 10"(25.4 cm) display. The engine controls are located on a molded quadrant to the starboard side and while the controls are mounted at a high angle, because they're digital their movement is smooth enough to still remain comfortable.
I'm always happy to see the empty space above the helm being utilized for items that are only used occasionally such as the VHF, stereo, and control for the optional remote spotlight. There is a wood foot rest.
For low points, all I can come up with is the fact that the electrical rocker switches cannot be seen easily from the standing position, but this is certainly not a deal breaker in my opinion.
This operational station has terrific visibility. That stainless grab handle to the left lends itself well for transitioning to the cabin and I'd like to see one more handle added to the fiberglass space just above for the captain to hold onto when the going gets rough.
The sunroof in the salon not only offers a sliding sun shade but it lifts to allow ram air to flow through. It also has a good latching system.
Flying Bridge or Hardtop
The Barracuda 9 comes in two versions, one with a basic hardtop, and one with a flying bridge. This sort of flexibility is the hallmark of Beneteau and one of the many reasons why its boats are so popular.
The flying bridge is accessed from a vertical ladder secured to the port side cabin bulkhead. (This reduces side deck clearance to 9'' (22.7 cm). It is a small flying bridge, but the fact that it exists at all is a qualified positive for the Barracuda 9. There is a double wide helm seat, and indeed two people are all that this flying bridge will accommodate both from a size, and load bearing standpoints. But do not let the size fool you. This upper helm station is as equally well equipped as the lower helm station with a separate Lowrance navigation display, digital engine controls, SmartCraft gauges, and trim tab controls.
At first this small aft flying bridge might seem odd because its not commonly seen in boats of this type of boat in many parts of the world. But they are seen in Scandinavia and in arctic regions. Because it is so far aft it is dryer in sloppy conditions than it would be further forward. And remember -- the immortal Bertram 30 has a flying bridge that would only seat two people!
In the flybridge configuration 2 people are able to enjoy the elevated operational station while the height of the profile increases to 9'9" (2.97 m) lowering the bridge clearance accordingly.
While modest in size, the flybridge helm station is as well equipped as the lower station.
Certainly the only thing lacking from the flying bridge station is shade. A Bimini top could solve that problem.
Forward Cabin
The forward cabin in the Barracuda 9 has much the same features as a basic cuddy-cabin style boat. While the cabin's size does not lend itself to extended voyages it's comfortable enough for a couple to spend the weekend away from home.
The forward cabin allows for modest accommodations. In the cockpit, the port hatch is over the batteries and the fuel filters are under the starboard hatch. The fuel tank is under the center hatch.
Headroom ranges from 5'10" (1.77 m) at the entry to 3'1" (.94 m) moving forward. The berth measures 6'3" (1.9 m) long. There is storage both under the berth and in the forepeak and an opening porthole is on the portside bulkhead.
The enclosed wet-head is completely fiberglass lined and has 5'5" (1.65 m) of headroom. The toilet's holding tank has a capacity of 21 gallons (80 L) and an opening portlight allows for ventilation.
Beneteau has asked us not to publish the price of the Barracuda 9 since rigging and engine configurations greatly vary in price, and encourages boaters to contact their dealer. However, I can tell you that if you are familiar with the cost of a well-built 30' CC you will be delighted with her price.
The cabin of the Barracuda 9 is modest but functional, and includes an enclosed wet-head.
The Barracuda 9 is, I think, a remarkable boat. In one respect she is like a big, offshore center console with a pilothouse. So if you've ever been caught out in the driving rain, or cancelled a fishing trip on the water because it was too cold, then you'll understand the advantages of this boat. I like her because she extends the boating season no matter where on earth she is used.
But how about the tropics and other places? Because of her sun roof and two side doors she can generate a breeze in the cabin. Add a small generator and air condition the pilothouse and now you have a boat that is equally at home in the tropics. Truth be told, in places like the Med, in both the spring and fall a cabin boat is the only way to go boating in anything resembling comfort.
Avid sportfishermen will want to add a fish box or two, a livewell, and rod storage as well as have the optional bait-prep station with sink. Tackle boxes can be stowed underneath. There is plenty of room on the hardtop to mount taco riggers and bolsters in the cockpit would also be a welcomed option.
The Barracuda 9 reminds me a lot of the old cabin cruisers that were popular in the late 1940s and '50s, but of course up-dated for 21st century. Our granddads' boats didn't have a bow thruster, flying bridge, fold-down seats, high bulwarks in the bow or many of the other features that this vessel has, but they did have a cabin, a head and much of the utility of the Barracuda 9. For that reason, I think she is going to find wide acceptance for many purposes.

Smart Custom Repair Serum
This fragrance-free serum from Clinique makes intriguing claims, the formula isn't as unique or customized as it seems.
Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector
This tinted, lightweight, eye cream helps disguise dark circles with its combination of three cosmetic pigments.
Clinique At-A-Glance
Strengths: A few excellent moisturizers and serums; excellent sunscreens; very good cleansers and eye makeup removers; unique mattifying products; impressive selection of foundations, good concealers; some remarkable mascaras; much-improved eyeshadows, lip colors and blush formulas.
Weaknesses: Bar soaps (which can clog pores and dull skin); alcohol-based toners; unfortunate choice of jar packaging for antioxidant-loaded moisturizers.
Estee Lauder-owned Clinique launched the concept of cosmetics being "allergy-tested," "hypoallergenic," "100% fragrance-free," and "dermatologist tested." Of those marketing claims, the only one with significance is "100% fragrance-free," which, for the most part, Clinique maintains (although it does add some fragrant extracts to a few products). Unfortunately, terms like "hypoallergenic" and "dermatologist tested" aren't regulated by the FDA and can mean anything—thus, you still need to rely on the ingredient list to tell you whether their product contains any ingredients with the potential to irritate skin.
That inconvenient fact aside, Clinique is leading the way with cutting-edge, state-of-the-art moisturizers and serums, plus some formidable makeup and more than a few excellent sunscreens. While Clinique has some products that we see as missteps for reasons discussed in their reviews, more than ever, what they offer is quite good (just have realistic expectations, as some of their claims go beyond what their products are capable of).
Turning to makeup, Clinique continues to offer a vast palette of colors and textures, especially with their enormous selection of foundations—many of which feature effective sunscreens. Without a doubt, the numerous formulas offer something for every skin type and almost every skin color—though the blushes, eye makeup and lip colors are frequently not pigmented enough for deeper skin tones.
The bottom line is that, despite a few shortcomings, Clinique is one of the most comprehensive (and comparably affordable) department-store makeup lines, and it is completely understandable why they enjoy such broad appeal.
Note: Clinique is categorized as one that tests on animals because their products are sold in China. Although Clinique does not conduct animal testing for their products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brand's state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law". Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Beautypedia Team.

In addition, you should be aware that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of your information from our databases without some residual data because of backups and other reasons.
Advertising/Behavioral Targeting; How to Opt-Out
Sheehy Lexus of Annapolis licenses technology to serve advertisements on its own Sites and within its content as that content is served across the Internet. In addition, Sheehy Lexus of Annapolis may use third-party ad networks, publishers and other entities to serve advertisements and third-party analytics vendors to evaluate and provide us with information about the use of the Sites and viewing of our content. We do not share Personal Information with these third parties, but ad network providers, data providers, publishers and other media related companies, and/or analytics service providers may set and access their own cookies, pixel tags and similar technologies on your Device and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you, including Usage Information. We and they may target advertisements for products and services in which you might be interested based on your visits to both the Sites and other websites. We and they may use a variety of companies to serve advertisements.
If you prefer to not receive targeted advertising, you can opt out of some network advertising programs that use your information. To do so please visit the NAI Opt-Out Page. Please note that even if you choose to remove your information (opt-out), you will still see advertisements while you're browsing online. However the advertisements you see may be less relevant to you and your interests. Additionally, many network advertising programs allow you to view and manage the interest categories they have compiled from your online browsing activities. These interest categories help determine the types of targeted advertisements you may receive. The NAI Opt-Out Page provides a tool that identifies its member companies that have cookies on your browser and provides links to those companies.
Children's Privacy
The Sites are not intended for children under the age of 13. Sheehy Lexus of Annapolis does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children that young. If you are under the age of 13, please do not submit your e-mail address or any other Personal Information to us through the Sites.
Security of Your Information
We use certain reasonable security measures to help protect your Personal Information. However, no electronic data transmission or storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you use the Sites and provide us with your information at your own risk.
Beware of Phishing Scams: There have been noticeable increases in the number of suspicious e-mails claiming that the e-mail recipient has won a Lexus lottery or other promotion. Sometimes the e-mail claims that the recipient has won a new Lexus IS. In order to claim the prize, the e-mail asks that Personal Information be sent to a Hotmail™ or Yahoo™ e-mail address. Samples of these hoax e-mails can be found at this website.
This type of e-mail solicitation is known commonly as a "phishing" scam, with the primary objective being to obtain one's personal information. This information can then be utilized to steal a person's identity. For example, a "Lexus Lottery" phishing scam is often sent from Chinese (.cn), German (.de) or British (.co.uk) addresses, but can originate from anywhere and look very official even to the most savvy of Internet users. Sheehy Lexus of Annapolis will never ask you to send passwords, login names, Social Security numbers, or other personal information through e-mail or U.S. mail, fax or text message. If you receive an e-mail or letter by U.S. mail, fax or text message from Sheehy Lexus of Annapolis asking you to update your credit card information, do not respond: this is a phishing scam. Recipients of suspicious e-mail like this should delete the message from their inbox and, if possible, update their e-mail filter settings to block e-mails from the e-mail address being used. The Federal Trade Commission and the Antiphishing Workgroup are also good sources of information about these types of security threats and how they may be reported to the authorities.

The Sites include links to other websites, such as the website for Lexus Financial Services. These websites are not under our control, even though they may use the Lexus name or logo on their site through an agreement with us. Such other websites do not necessarily follow our Privacy Policy, and may place their own cookies on your Device. This practice is standard on the web, and we do not control cookies or web beacons that may be placed on your Device by third parties whose advertising or links appear on our Sites. These websites may have their own privacy and information security policy and terms and conditions. Visitors should consult the other websites' privacy notices as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.

Eighty-Eight Oil LLC plans to build and operate a unit train loading station on BNSF Railway Co.'s mainline near the Guernsey, Wyo., crude oil pipeline hub. The station will be directly connected to EEO's existing 2-million bbl Guernsey crude terminal which receives oil from Butte Pipeline, Belle Fourche Pipeline, Platte Pipeline, and the Rocky Mountain Pipeline System. The Guernsey terminal also has truck unloading facilities.
The rail terminal will initially include three loop tracks and required tankage for unit train loading. Each loop track will be capable of holding one unit train, with the automated racks capable of loading different crude types onto two trains simultaneously. Initial rail loading capacity will be 80,000 b/d with expansion capability.
EEO says Guernsey will be the first rail transloading terminal capable of loading multiple crude types, including those from the Williston basin (Bakken), the Powder River basin (Niobrara), Southwest Wyoming, the Big Horn basin, and Canada. The company expects the terminal to enter service later this year.
BNSF also provides transportation for Inergy Crude Logistics' COLT Terminal in the North Dakota portion of the Bakken shale (OGJ Online, June 11, 2012).

Cyril Mouaikel has silently been leading a community fundraising campaign since last summer to help raise money for indoor tennis courts to be added to the Fairgrounds Y, 585 Rand Drive.
Mr. Mouaikel, RBC Wealth Management branch director, started his campaign almost immediately after Stebbins Engineering and Manufacturing Co. purchased the Watertown Health & Racquet Club, 431 Eastern Blvd., to turn it into a storage building for construction equipment. He used the indoor courts there and said he would like to see indoor courts back in the community.
It will be the least expensive way of doing it, Mr. Mouaikel said. Youre adding to the existing roof at the Y. All were doing is adding a sport at the Y.
The total project, he said, would cost about $400,000, and so far a little more than $200,000 has been collected or pledged.
Opening the campaign to community members, he said, hopefully will allow it to move swiftly, and area residents might be able to play next fall.
Y Executive Director Peter W. Schmitt said although the Y is coming off a major capital campaign and cannot help fund the project, it will be looking to be supportive to the tennis community while thinking of the Ys future.
The timing of the need didnt match up with us making it a capital priority, Mr. Schmitt said.
Thats not stopping Mr. Mouaikel.
With commitment from the Y that includes overseeing tennis court operations, he said, hes confident the community will support the campaign.
People can contribute any amount, and large amounts may be spread out over a five-year period.
Its a wonderful addition to the community, Mr. Mouaikel said. The only thing slowing us down is money.
To donate or for more information, call Mr. Mouaikel at 788-4200.

HOPKINTON Frigid temperatures didnt stop families from enjoying winter activities over the weekend.
Snow tubing, sledding, cross-country skiing and pick-up ice hockey were just some of the activities at Mandaville Camp and Retreat, 165 Sheldon Road, offered from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Saturday during the camps first ever Family Snow Bowl.
The event, which was free for children and $10 for adults, also included indoor crafts, hot chocolate and snacks inside the camps Hemlock Lodge.
Jim N. Meola, Richville, who was steadying sleds at the top of a hill, brought his four children out to enjoy a day of sledding.
We like to do a lot of outdoor activities, he said.
Mr. Meola said hes good friends with Bob B. Emmett, director of Mandaville Camp and Retreat.
Mr. Emmett and his wife, Sharon L., Hopkinton, organized the family fun day, and said they planned it for the end of the childrens school vacation.
Its right before school gets going and theyre either bored or theyve been cooped up, Mrs. Emmett said.
Mr. Emmett said he was glad the thermometer rose somewhat for their afternoon outside.
We were hoping to not have a deep freeze day like yesterday, he said. I mean, its still cold, but its warmed up a bit.
He said the weather left them with the best tubing hill conditions theyve ever had, because of the layer of ice.
Mr. Emmett said the weather also helped them out with an ice rink this year. Usually, they build one, using boards and plastic.
But thats a lot of work and if the weathers not right, its a wasted effort, he said. God gave us an ice storm and set down three layers of ice, so I just capitalized on it.
The weather didnt cooperate for all Saturdays planned activities, however.
We didnt really have packable snow to do snow sculptures or igloo making like we wanted to, Mrs. Emmett said.
Mr. Emmett said that even without good packing snow, they had other ways of making snow art.
Were going to get water bottles with colored water in them and squirt it into the snow to make designs, he said.
Mandaville Camp and Retreat is one of the only Christian camps in the area, according to Mr. Emmett, and is funded by Bible Centered Ministries International, a Christian ministry based out of Lancaster, Pa.
Mr. Emmett said the year-round camp has several winter overnight retreats, or snow bowls, for children of all ages, including one for grades 4 through 7 from Jan. 17 to 18, one for grades 4 through 7 Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, and one for teenagers Presidents Day weekend.
Mrs. Emmett said they wanted to have a one-day Family Snow Bowl to introduce more people to the camp.
Its a way for them to introduce their kids to camp and have some fun with the family, she said.
Mr. Emmett said the camp tries to reach out to children and families within a 40-mile radius and partners with local churches for retreats and youth group camps.

Devi V.KansasHairBlackDry HairThick or Coarse HairAccidental Discovery, Love It!!My brother bought this home after he came back from a haircut in the salon, So I was surprised and gave it a try, Truly amazing!!! Its very moisturising!! I felt when I had the shampoo in my hand itself that its diff from other shampoos. I do not heat style my hair, Its not colored, I have dry natural black hair and when I use this my hair is healthy, shiny, moisturised and bouncy. I dont even have to use a dryer!! HYDRATION!!!! is what is best!!
For the first time I can say that I like the shampoo of a brand more than its condiitioner. I liek both but here the shampoo itself is great. If u have dry hair and want to improove the health of hair, I really think This would work for u!! If my natural hair gained with this I am sure this must be great for heat styling and damaged hair!! TRY IT!!!!2 out of 2 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

KarissaUnited StatesHairBlondeNormal HairDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairAwesome Conditioner! Awesome Packaging!I really enjoy this conditioner!
I have been using it for over a week and I have noticed my hair is smoother, shinier, softer, lighter, and overall healthier.
This has a thick consistency, which I love, as opposed to a drugstore conditioner.
I also really like the packing of this, it looks very "fresh", and I like that it is a skinny bottle because then I won't drop it in the shower.
Although this says "Keratin" in it's name, I did not get the whole "completely manageable frizz-free" hair that I would expect from a keratin treatment, BUT, this is only a conditioner, and I bet that if you used the whole system, you would get amazing results. I definitely would recommend this.
Really, the only con to this product is the price. Yes, you do get what you pay for, and this product is worth the $17.95, but I can't justify paying $17.95 for one bottle of conditioner that I use daily. For a leave in treatment, yes, but considering the fact that I shower every day, I feel as though I would be better off using a leave in treatment.

Benazir Bhutto

Benazir Bhutto 1953 - 2007
Benazir Bhutto, the daughter of a prime minister of Pakistan who held that post twice herself, died on Dec. 27, 2007 in a suicide attack on a political rally as she campaigned to hold that post a third time.
Ms. Bhutto, who was 54 at the time of her death, was a member of one of Pakistan's most prominent families, albeit one touched by tragedy. Her father was ousted and hanged by the Pakistani military and two of her brothers died violent deaths.
Ms. Bhutto took over the leadership of her father's party and became the first woman leader of an Islamic country when she was first elected prime minister in 1988 at the age of 35. She served a total of six years in office before being dismissed in 1996 amid widespread charges of corruption against herself and her husband. She took up residence in London.
In the summer of 2007, with the encouragement of Washington, she entered into power-sharing talks with Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who had seized power in 1999 from Ms. Bhutto's successor. But no deal was reached, and Ms. Bhutto returned to the country in October in an ambiguous position, not quite allied with General Musharraf and not quite opposed. When he imposed emergency rule in November, she waited several days before denouncing the move.
She was leading a rally for her Pakistan People's Party in the parliamentary campaign she hoped would restore her to power early in 2008 when she was killed.
In April 2010, a United Nations investigation into her assassination concluded that the failure of Pakistani authorities to effectively investigate the killing was "deliberate" and had been "severely hampered" by the country's powerful intelligence agencies.
The 65-page report did not answer the question of who killed Ms. Bhutto, or even give the precise cause of death, which occurred after a 15-year-old suicide bomber detonated his payload. But it concluded, "No one believes that this boy acted alone."
The report was particularly scathing of the role of Saud Aziz, the police chief in Rawalpindi, the city where the assassination took place, who made a series of decisions that denied investigators valuable evidence. These included orders to hose down the crime scene less than two hours after the attack. Hosting long lunches and serving tea, he then delayed investigators for two full days from reaching the site, where they finally spent seven horus wading through a drainage sewer to retrieve a single bullet casing. Mr. Aziz was also criticized in the report for deliberately preventing an autopsy.
Ms. Bhutto had raised concerrns about Pakistanis she believed were a threat to her security with General Musharraf. His failure to provide Ms. Bhutto, a former prime minister, with the same security that was extended to two other former prime ministers, who were political allies, was particularly disturbing, the report said.
