RALEIGH, North Carolina — State officials say utility work is underway on the replacement for the Bonner Bridge, the 52-year-old span that crosses the Oregon Inlet.
Gov. Pat McCrory said in a news release Friday that the by Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative has begun. Construction of the 3.5-mile span is expected to begin in the spring and take about three years to complete.
In June, state transportation officials and environmental groups reached an agreement allowing for construction of the new bridge, which will run parallel to the current one. The project had been delayed for years by legal wrangling and budget concerns.
When the bridge was built in 1963, it had an expected life span of 30 years.

Water treatment operators help ensure that residents within a proscribed area have access to clean and safe water. Broadly, water treatment operators ensure that water treatment plants produce a supply of water that meets the requirements of federal and municipal legislation in accordance with applicable standards and policies.Read More...
Typically under the supervision of a local office of public works, water treatment operators work to make sure that a water treatment plant continues to function properly. This broad responsibility includes many specific tasks geared toward the maintenance and upkeep of water treatment, sewer treatment, and related facilities.
Specific tasks are numerous, including overall maintenance of the treatment plant's systems, monitoring filters and chemical treatments, performing inspections of equipment and any subsequent minor repairs that are necessary, controlling the water supply, and ordering major repairs and service when necessary. Water treatment operators are also responsible for maintaining the physical plant that powers the treatment plant, which necessitates inspections and ordering repairs. Additionally, water treatment operators must perform a variety of administrative and clerical duties relating to the plant, such as administering water distribution agreements, writing maintenance schedules and guidelines, logging daily activities, ordering various work, planning budgets and preparing financial reports, and preparing reports for governmental and regulatory bodies.
To perform their duties effectively, water treatment operators must have knowledge of water and sewer water systems, how to inspect systems, techniques for water testing, basic mechanics, and all related laws. They must also be effective administrators, provide leadership for assistant operators, be flexible and able to work under pressure, be able to work independently, and have good client communication skills. Typically, municipalities require water treatment operators to hold at least an associate's degree, with more advanced coursework corresponding to a higher pay grade. Operators work a variety of different schedules, and duties entail both office and fieldwork.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
At the upper end, Water Treatment Operators who move into an Operations Manager role can end up with a hefty increase in pay. The average income for Operations Managers is a much higher $59K per year. Career advancement for the typical Water Treatment Operator often leads to becoming a Water Treatment Plant Manager or a Water Superintendent; median salaries in these positions are $15K higher and $15K higher, respectively.
Water Treatment Operators seem to require a number of specific skills. Most notably, skills in Plant Maintenance, Diagnosis and Treatment Planning, Reverse Osmosis Water Purification, and Operations Management are correlated to pay that is above average. Those familiar with Diagnosis and Treatment Planning also tend to know System Repair.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Water Treatment Operators do not generally earn higher incomes from more experience in the field. Salaries for the relatively untried average out to around $35K, but survey participants with five to 10 years of experience earn a significantly higher median of $41K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Water Treatment Operators make a median salary of $46K. Ultimately, more time spent in the workforce does seem to translate to bigger paychecks; seasoned veterans with more than 20 years of experience report a median income of $51K.

School districts whose leaders have been most outspoken in opposing New York's direction with public education saw more students refuse last week's assessments, a Riverhead News-Review analysis has found.
A mere four years ago, and for decades prior, one could not find any substantial evidence of students opting-out of standardized testing. At first glance, the current, heated, conflict over state testing and the "opt-out" movement appears to be a dispute between those who believe in and those who dispute the value of state tests. But this conflict goes deeper. It is a conflict about what is good for children and adolescents, about how children learn and thrive, and about how to raise young people to enter into and contribute to their communities as mature members of a democratic society. (more…)
"They couldn't have made a worse decision than what we have in our hands right now."
For someone who has been a vocal critic of New York State's public education system's high-stakes testing model, which has been enacted for the past few years, Greenport and Southold Superintendent David Gamberg's comments Tuesday about next year's state education budget came as especially critical.
While the budget adopted April 1 increases education funding by over 6 percent statewide, it has been met with heavy pushback from educators near and far as Gov. Andrew Cuomo continues attempting to overhaul education accountability throughout the state. (more…)
The rushed rollout of the Common Core State Standards under Gov. Andrew Cuomo during the 2012-13 school year set off alarm bells in school hallways and living rooms across the state. All of a sudden, teachers and parents in New York were being told that well over half of the student population had failed to make the grade based on the new Common Core-aligned math and ELA state assessments. (more…)
To the editor:
Southold School District Superintendent David Gamberg has been an outspoken critic of the Common Core Learning Standards implementation and its testing requirements. So his expressed desire to apply "common sense" to education is not surprising.
But hey, it's common sense to put things back where you found them. But why, then, are shopping carts all over the parking lot at the end of a market day? (more…)
What would make the most sense about developing and promoting the necessary ingredients for a high-quality public education system in the United States? Would it be an agenda made up of the highest standards possible? Of course, but in and of itself this would fall short of a full-bodied agenda for success. (more…)
The leaders of three local school districts have partnered up to expand educational opportunities within their schools in the midst of mandates coming down from Albany as part of what's known as the Common Core State Standards.

How am I supposed to stop procrastinating if I can't focus on something for longer than 3 minutes at a time?
Keep practicing. Apply a lot more effort with sense of determination and confidence. And be soft and kind to yourself.
I have this same issue and have to open up various browsers when I do an assignment for school. I just read a study that attention dividing actually eradicates memory retrieval blocks! Who would have known! So, the anxiety you face that causes you to procrastinate may be separate issues from one another. I just take "mini breaks" from one thing to the other and before I know it my assignments are done! lol
ha ha I was in the process of working on a paper when I wrote that.. lol I hope you were able to get it done!
Do you have ADD? Cuz I do and I would understand because I have that same problem. Im trying to get my act together.
I just deal with it. I smoke a lot of weed recently..

Josh Pastner is hiring former NBA Rookie of the Year Damon Stoudamire as an assistant on the Memphis staff, a source told CBSSports.com on Monday.
A formal announcement is expected soon.
Stoudamire, 37, played at Arizona like Pastner and has been an assistant with the Memphis Grizzlies since 2009. He spent 13 seasons as a player in the NBA and will join Jack Murphy on the Tigers staff. Pastner still has one spot left to fill because Willis Wilson and Glynn Cyprien both left after last season. Wilson took the head coaching position at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Cyprien is now an assistant for Billy Kennedy at Texas A&M.

Damon was known as Mighty Mouse while he played for Toronto and then Portland, where he was a key member of the famed 'Jail Blazers'. He had his moments of glory (54 points in a game). He also had his moments of shame with being stopped for speeding between Seattle and Portland with Rasheed Wallace. When the patrolman had them roll down the window the smoke was so thick he had to step back. Lots of smoke. Lots of weed. Or the large bag of weed found in his house. But the capper of all cappers was when Damon set off a metal detector in Tucson and then placed on the airport conveyor belt a substantial package wrapped in aluminum foil along with rolling papers. When the security guard opened the package it was full of weed. Damon claimed it as his marijuana and was incensed that they took it away from him.
Damon has had years to rehabilitate himself. Even so, the campus atmosphere at Memphis might not be the most healthy environment for him. Perhaps Damon can now witness to the students and players that drug use is not healthy or conducive to mental acuity and athletic achievement.

Where's America's Cup?
Was it printed so small that I missed it? You carried the schedule for the America's Cup sailing races, but when the American team pulled off the almost impossible task of being down eight races to one against New Zealand and winning eight races in a row to win the Cup (the oldest sports trophy in the world) nine races to eight, I found no mention of the incredible feat anywhere in the paper the next morning. Most people consider what the American team did as the most amazing feat in sports history.

MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — An agreement has protected from development a 54-acre tract of wooded land in Washtenaw County that is important to the River Raisin watershed and is a rattlesnake habitat.
Debbie Thompson agreed to protect the property through a conservation easement, The Ann Arbor News reported ( ). The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality assisted in the easement's donation to the Legacy Land Conservancy, as did Thompson's neighbors.
"I feel peaceful and tranquil when I walk in the woods," Thompson said in a statement. "It's undisturbed, mighty and dazzling. No matter what season or time of day, the experience is priceless."
The land in Manchester Township includes a tributary to Iron Creek, which is in the River Raisin watershed, and is habitat for the eastern massasauga rattlesnake. The property is located about 20 miles southwest of Ann Arbor.
The Legacy Land Conservancy was founded in 1971 and has worked to protect more than 5,500 acres of land throughout southern Michigan.
Some of the conservancy's long-term land-protection goals cover property located near Waterloo, Pinckney and Sharonville; farmland in southwestern Washtenaw County; and groundwater recharge areas, wetlands and areas adjacent to streams.

text: [[MemeticMutation Memes happen.]] Whether it's a CatchPhrase that [[TheCatchPhraseCatchesOn catches on]], an [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments intentionally]] or [[{{Narm}} unintentionally]] funny moment, or an unfortunate coincidence, these things spread throughout the Internet like a virus. Sometimes crew members catch on and reference them.It can be anything--a line at a convention, a YouTube video, even a piece of supplementary material. To qualify for this trope, it just has to be outside the show.Often, this takes the form of a "lesser" worker (as in, not the creator or showrunner himself) referencing it, as trying to get it put into the script could potentially cause an uproar. Also, a lot of memes are [[OutOfCharacter OOC]], [[DoubleEntendre risquķ]], or just plain [[MoodWhiplash random]], which wouldn't fit at all in {{canon}}. The ExpandedUniverse gets more leeway in this department.A SisterTrope to AscendedMeme, which is when the show itself references the meme.----!!Examples:[[foldercontrol]][[folder: Anime and Manga]]* Creator/WayneGrayson, voice of Joey in ''Anime/YuGiOh'', has said "[[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Brooklyn Rage!!]]" several times at a 2008 convention. He referred to it as "his favorite line" even though:--> "It's not even a line my character says, but I've been saying it all weekend".** Also, in regard to ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'': [[http://twitpic.com/34lcdk Card Games on Motorcycles.]]** DanGreen once read a dialogue between Yami Yugi and Yugi from the Abridged Series. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mhQpPpAsWs It has to be seen to be believed.]]* Creator/ChristopherSabat frequently acknowledges the [[DragonBall "OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!"]] meme, though he does find it odd that people ask him to say it when it was a line from the [[Creator/BrianDrummond older dub]] that he had no involvement in.** He intentionally trolls anyone who asks him to say it by stringing them along in the conversation until they figure out that they're being trolled.** In the TV version of [[DragonBallKai Dragon Ball Z Kai]], his "Over 8,000!" line from the uncut release is [[AscendedMeme changed to 9,000]], complete with the hammy delivery.* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'': The parody ''Spoof on Titan'', made by Hajime Isayama himself, pokes fun at some of the fandom's memes and shipping pairs. * ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' is infamous for its dramatic, stylish poses, and the fan tendency to recreate them in real life. Not only has the author/artist, {{Creator/Hirohiko Araki}}, done it himself (see his page image), but [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/jojos-pose the posing made it into an ad for one of the video game adaptations]]![[/folder]][[folder: Film]]* It took them 8 years to catch on, but Peter Jackson actually got Orlando Bloom to sing his famous StupidStatementDanceMix [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NGguk8VXYc "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!"]]* Thanks to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDHCLjuOzXY a particularly popular mashup]] of [[Manga/AttackOnTitan "Guren no Yumiya"]] with a dance number from a Bollywood movie starring screen idol NTR Jr., the Japanese release of a new Bollywood movie with the same lead actor actually promotes him as the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ampehgla0Y Shingeki no Indian.]]* To promote their airing of Film/{{Downfall}}, Creator/{{SBS}} made a HitlerRants video.[[/folder]][[folder: Live Action TV]]* "Bear" Grylls of ''ManVsWild'' has occasionally made jokes about reacting to events with "better drink my own piss" [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/bear-grylls-better-drink-my-own-piss just like the meme parodying this trait of his]].* When Elizabeth Berkley, best known as Jessie Spano on ''SavedByTheBell'', appeared on ''DancingWithTheStars'', she and her partner Val had some fun before they had to do a jive routine by recreating one of the 90's series most iconic (and infamous) moments that has reached meme status: Jessie's caffeine-pill fueled breakdown while singing "I'M SO EXCITED!" The Internet rejoiced.* Oprah Winfrey famously gave away cars to everyone in her audience in a 2004 episode of [[TheOprahWinfreyShow her show]]. Her screams--particularly "YOU GET A CAR!"--quickly reached meme status. Nine years later, when Oprah appeared on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live'', she was in the middle of talking about her new film ''TheButler'' when she suddenly stopped the interview and declared "I just got that feeling again." She called a random woman from the audience down to the set and abruptly screamed "YOU GET A CAR!," giving her the keys to a brand-new Ford Fusion that was outside. The whole thing was played as a joke, with Oprah describing her "problem" of giving away new cars as a compulsion that she tries to keep under control--in this case, she apparently skipped lunch, which made her condition flare up.[[/folder]][[folder: Music]]* Music/RickAstley himself {{Rick Roll}}ed the UsefulNotes/MacysThanksgivingDayParade, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL-hNMJvcyI in what has become one of the parade's most memorable moments in its almost 90-year history]].[[/folder]][[folder: Professional Wrestling]]* Late 2014 saw a meme on Vine featuring Wrestling/RandyOrton using his signature RKO finishing move on people who were falling or in accidents, making it appear as if Orton had caused them to fall. WWE eventually acknowledged it on their front page, and even posted a few vines of their own.* For a while, when the WWE has fired or released a wrestler from their contract, the announcements almost always ended with the phrase "We wish him/her the best in all his/her future endeavors." The term "future endeavored" became a meme among the SmartMark crowd as a means of talking about someone being fired. In TheNewTens, WWE actually started selling shirts with "Future Endeavored" on them.** For a short time, they also started selling shirts with other common smart mark lingo, such as "I'm So Over," "I Get Heat," etc. However, the shirts quickly fizzled out of production.[[/folder]][[folder: Video Games]]* Garland's ''DissidiaFinalFantasy'' voice actor, Christopher Sabat, gave us [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09u_s5MYnDA this little gem.]]* At Comic-Con 2011, a panel featuring the voice directors for ''[[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'' had Taliesin Jaffe (the English VA for Blanka and Adon in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'') belting out "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xG2vGg8ygc&t=13m54s Would anybody like... SOME POUND CAKE?!]]" and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xG2vGg8ygc&t=12m11s JAGUAR SLEEPOVER!]]" The former is a meme originating from one of [[AwesomeSeries Egoraptor's]] sketches from the ''[[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/495979 Street Fighter Collab]]'' on {{Newgrounds}} and the latter is an oft-quoted {{Mondegreen}} of Adon's Jaguar Revolver Ultra in ''IV''.* DavidHayter, English voice of Solid Snake, has been known to spend a lot of time saying "[[AwesomeSeries OhmyGodhotnessIwannaBANGYOU]]" and "CRAB...BATTLE...", references to two popular ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' Flash parody shorts. (He also claimed that the voice over director on the games brought in ''Franchise/MetalGear [[AwesomeSeries Awesome]]'' for the cast to watch together during the recording of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4''.)* BioWare sells "Enchantment!" and "Morrigan Disapproves" t-shirts, based on popular phrases from ''Franchise/DragonAge'', as well as "SirIsaacNewton is the deadliest sonofabitch in space!" and "favorite store on the Citadel" memes from ''Franchise/MassEffect''. For a while, they also sold a t-shirt of ''Franchise/MassEffect''[='=]s "I should go."* The ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' character Hong Meiling. No-one could decide what to call her (she's Chinese, yet her name in Chinese characters could very well be a Japanese name), so everyone decided to call her China. It became a DiscreditedMeme... until ZUN said that he also calls her China. Poor Meiling...* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'': On Xbox 360, you can get an "Arrow in the Knee" accessory for your Avatar.* Nintendo has a history of doing this at their E3 shows:** At E3 2012, Creator/{{Nintendo}}[='=]s Reggie Fils-Aime came out and said "Yes, [[VideoGame/WiiFit my body was ready.]]"** In a Nintendo Direct after E3 2012, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata held a bunch of bananas for a few seconds, for seemingly no reason. This quickly turned into a meme, and the very next E3 Nintendo posted a picture of Iwata holding bananas with the caption "Bananas @ E3" on Facebook.** In Nintendo's show for E3 2014, when talking about the success of ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'', they edited in the memetic "Luigi Death Stare," wherein Luigi gives off a DeathGlare when he passes an opponent. Keep in mind this meme was ''less than a week old'' when they did this.** Nintendo's show for E3 2015 was a fountain of this, all with Iwata, Miyamoto, and Fils-amie as muppets. Of course, there was Reggie's "My (puppet) body is ready." and a brief scene where puppet Iwata stares at a bunch of bananas for several seconds. Iwata also acknowledged his MemeticHandGesture a few times, first when his puppet self was first revealed ("I will go ''directly'' to the stage"), and another brief scene where he does it repeatedly for no apparent reason, then somehow knocks puppet-Reggie over by directing the gesture at him.* Creator/BlizzardEntertainment has been using the phrase [[ZergRush "the rush begins"]] (changed to "has begun" after release day) in some of the advertising for ''VideoGame/StarCraftIIHeartOfTheSwarm''.* The last 24 hours of the ''VideoGame/StarCitizen'' crowdfunding campaign were streamed from lent office space in Austin, TX. For about two hours, the team went out for dinner and left an IKEA table lamp with a paper sign taped to it perched in front of a camera as a makeshift, "We'll be right back" sign. The team returned to find that, in their absence, the silly, sleep-deprived fan community had begun building all sorts of weird lore around the lamp, jokingly deifying it, naming squadrons or guilds for it, giving it an imagined personality, addressing direct questions to it in the chat threads, and so forth. Some members of the development team joined in on the joke, and at least for the foreseeable future, the Lamp will continue to make appearances in some of the development team webcasts.* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':** Mike Pollock, voice actor of Dr. Eggman, was once asked to say "[[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog Snooping]] [[YouTubePoop as usual, I see!]]" in his Eggman voice. Once he learned why he was given the request, [[WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings he stated that he would never take requests from fans again]].** In June 2015, Sega hired a new PR person for the franchise, and [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/with_replies the series' official Twitter]] [[UpToEleven took this into truly outrageous heights.]] It's referenced [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/608763896040726528 the Tails Doll]], [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/608824863629975552 "It's no use"]], [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/609085969942376449 "original character do not steal"]], [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/608823635499958272 "Strange, isn't it?"]], [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/608359346863542273 the Barrel of Doom]], [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/608722820739293185 ōBounce Pad!ö]], [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/608802671911444481 Knuckles']] [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/608802671911444481 rap music]], [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/608343347623796736 Sonic 06's load times]] [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/608822114368544769 and infamous kiss scene]], [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/608354712149237760 both versions]] [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/609115871747833856 of ōSanicö]], and [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/608718532529037312 even]] ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' ¢ culminating in [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/608802671911444481 a contest]] devoted to the ō& Knucklesö meme.* "[[{{Creator/Nintendo}} Nintendo of Europe]] [[{{LetsPlay/Chuggaaconroy}} supports]] [[https://twitter.com/chuggaaconroy/status/317317910022455296 the No Coin Left Behind movement!]]"--> '''LetsPlay/SlimKirby''': No coin left behind?

After complaints about Kurland's constant spamming of the line "KURLAND HERE" in "Boldly They Rode" went memetic, Borticus commented on the forums that it was "not my best work, I'm afraid" and even added it to his forum signature.* At Gamescom 2014, [[http://youtu.be/-EPAij3Nugg?t=28s Masuda says Hoenn Confirmed]] in his message to fans awaiting the upcoming ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Pokķmon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]'' games. * Nintendo UK's website's [[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Wii/Wii-huge Error screen]] is [[VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink I AM ERROR]].* The official ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros.''

An Empirical Analysis of Search Engine Advertising: Sponsored Search in Electronic Markets
The phenomenon of sponsored search advertising--where advertisers pay a fee to Internet search engines to be displayed alongside organic (nonsponsored) Web search results--is gaining ground as the largest source of revenues for search engines. Using a unique six-month panel data set of several hundred keywords collected from a large nationwide retailer that advertises on Google, we empirically model the relationship between different sponsored search metrics such as click-through rates, conversion rates, cost per click, and ranking of advertisements. Our paper proposes a novel framework to better understand the factors that drive differences in these metrics. We use a hierarchical Bayesian modeling framework and estimate the model using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. Using a simultaneous equations model, we quantify the relationship between various keyword characteristics, position of the advertisement, and the landing page quality score on consumer search and purchase behavior as well as on advertiser's cost per click and the search engine's ranking decision. Specifically, we find that the monetary value of a click is not uniform across all positions because conversion rates are highest at the top and decrease with rank as one goes down the search engine results page. Though search engines take into account the current period's bid as well as prior click-through rates before deciding the final rank of an advertisement in the current period, the current bid has a larger effect than prior click-through rates. We also find that an increase in landing page quality scores is associated with an increase in conversion rates and a decrease in advertiser's cost per click. Furthermore, our analysis shows that keywords that have more prominent positions on the search engine results page, and thus experience higher click-through or conversion rates, are not necessarily the most profitable ones--profits are often higher at the middle positions than at the top or the bottom ones. Besides providing managerial insights into search engine advertising, these results shed light on some key assumptions made in the theoretical modeling literature in sponsored search.

Dollar Tree Inc. (DLTR): New Analyst Report from Zacks Equity Research - Zacks Equity Research Report
Dollar Tree posted impressive results in third-quarter fiscal 2014 with both its top and bottom lines improving year over year and beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate. We believe the company is progressing well with its growth endeavors, including store expansion, omni-channel development, revamping of store formats and venture into new markets. We also commend its strategic investments in technological advancements and acquisitions, such as the proposed takeover of Family Dollar, focused on boosting its performance in the long run. However, we are slightly cautious about the company's future results as rising freight costs are continuously weighing on its gross margin. Moreover, the stock remains vulnerable to sluggish economic recovery and cautious consumer spending. Risks of sourcing merchandise from overseas markets may also drag its results going forward. Thus, we retain our Neutral view on the stock.
Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Chesapeake, VA, Dollar Tree Inc. is an operator of discount variety stores offering merchandise at a fixed price point of $1.00. Its stores successfully operate in major metropolitan areas, mid-sized cities and small towns and perform well in the various locations. It offers a wide range of quality everyday general merchandise in many categories, including house wares, seasonal goods, candy and food, toys, health and beauty care, gifts, party goods, stationery, books, personal accessories, and other consumer items.
As of Nov 1, 2014, Dollar Tree operated 5,282 stores under the names of Dollar Tree, Dollar Tree Canada and Deal$. The company's stores are spread across the 48 U.S. states and the District of Columbia as well as the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Its stores are supported by a nationwide logistics network of ten distribution centers.
Dollar Tree also owns an e-Commerce platform DollarTree.com which sells its merchandise in bulk to individuals and small businesses as well as organizations.

The Source engine is a 3D game engine developed by Valve Corporation. Its unique features include a large degree of modularity and flexibility, an artist-driven, shader-based renderer, accurate lip sync and facial expression technology, and a powerful, efficient and completely network-enabled physics system.
Several methods for getting accurately-sized props into Source Engine games using Softimage/XSI/Mod Tool.
Posted by Cryrid on Apr 24th, 2010
Basic Props Modelling.
This video contains several methods for getting your assets to the correct scale for Source within Softimage products. It focuses more on getting the unit-sizes and visual guides inside of the 3d app; for more information on measurements inside of Source itself see Developer.valvesoftware.com
Chances are you already have this as it is required to export your models into Source in the first place. But in addition to being able to export to .smd, this will also let you import .smds (characters/props) and .vmfs (maps) directly into Softimage.
Download (possibly 32bit version only)
Returns the X,Y,and Z size of the selected object's bounding box. Great for quick measurements, and determening how much you need to scale the model.
Measures the distance between two points. Snap them where needed.
No download required for this one. Just hit Shift+S to pop open the camera visibility options. You can adjust the grid size and grid snap as needed. 1.3333 units = 1 inch, 8 units = 6 inches, etc. You can also use this to have the grid act more like the one inside of Hammer.
