The Awards Committee receives nominations from our membership for all of the Award categories and then strives to honor the most deserving individuals for that year. The NCSITE Awards Committee was honored to recognize several NCSITE members and affiliate members at the NCSITE Annual Meeting Luncheon on November 13, 2014.
Soon after the transition from Division of Southern District in 1988 to full Section status, the Board of Directors realized the need to have its own Awards Program. In 1992 the Section Awards Program was established to recognize outstanding service and commitment by members through the following awards: Robert J. Dodge Professional Image Award, R.V. Moss Lifetime Service Award, Jay Quinn Technical Excellence Award, Contribution to Transportation Award, Paul D. Cribbins Cup and the President's Award. In 1999 the Young Professional Award was presented for the first time, in 2005 the New Member Award was established, and the Outstanding Project was established in 2013. All the award recipients are selected from a pool of nominees by the Award Committee with the exception of the President's Award, which is given by the President in office.
The following provides a brief introduction about each award and the recent award winner:
Recipient must be a member or affiliate member of NCSITE; possess demonstrated technical competence and excellent people skills; must have a demonstrated record of service to the profession, the organization, and his/her community; who by personal demeanor and example projects the best image of what a transportation professional should be.
Robert J. Dodge worked for the North Carolina State Highway Commission during the summers of 1946, 1947, 1948, and 1949 as a temporary employee. He graduated from North Carolina State University with a degree in Civil Engineering in May 1951 and was hired as a permanent employee in June 1951. He received one paycheck before being activated as a 2nd Lieutenant in US Army for active military duty during the Korean War. After 14 months in Korea, Mr. Dodge returned to Traffic Engineering to begin a life-time career. He rose through the ranks in Traffic Engineering to the Assistant State Traffic Engineer position within NCDOT.
He satisfied the requirements to become a Professional Engineer and a Registered Land Surveyor. He worked for almost 40 years with the NC DOT, most of which was with the Traffic Engineering and Safety Systems Branch.
He was active in the Southern Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers. In 1985, he was awarded the Herman J. Hoose Distinguished Service Award. In 1992, Mr. Dodge was awarded the very first Robert J. Dodge Professional Image Award by the North Carolina Section ITE. Mr. Robert J. Dodge passed away on March 29, 2007 at the age of 78. He was active in his White Memorial Presbyterian Church for almost 60 years serving as a Deacon, Sunday School Teacher, and advisor. His family mourns for him and the Christian southern gentleman that he was.
2014 Award Winner: Christa Greene, PE
The Robert Dodge Professional Image Award was presented to Christa Greene, Senior Transportation Engineer at Stantec. Christa has been filled key roles for the Annual Meeting Planning committee for several years. She invests heavily in NCSITE's younger members encouraging them to become actively involved. The nomination stated that "she is an avid promoter of NCSITE and the transportation profession, with a hand in helping recruit several of NCSITE's next generation of leaders". She has served on the Awards Committee for many years, and is currently serving on the Mentoring Program Oversight Committee as well as serving as the NCSITE Vice-President. Christa's husband, Ricky and her dad, Richard were in attendance to see the award presented to her.
Congratulations to Christa Greene, PE of Stantec for receiving the 2014 NCSITE Robert Dodge Professional Image Award.
Past Award Winners
Recipient must have been a Member or an Affiliate Member for at least 15 years; should possess demonstrated technical confidence; should have made significant contributions to the profession and ITE through participation in committees, workshops, speakers' bureaus, seminars, fundraising, meetings and local arrangement committees; and through elected office at the Section level or higher.
R. V. Moss, one of Walter and Lala Moss' six children, was born on October 15, 1931 in Hendersonville. He graduated in 1950 from Hudson High School, where he was President of his Senior Class and made an early contribution to mass transit by working as a bus driver. He enrolled in Mars Hill College in 1950, but joined the United States Army in 1951 and served as a paratrooper in the 508th Airborne Regimental Combat Team.
After leaving the Army in 1954, he enrolled in North Carolina State College in Raleigh, and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering in May 1959. While pursuing his studies, R.V. worked part-time for the City of Raleigh, and after graduation accepted a full-time engineering position.
In 1960, he became Assistant Traffic Engineer for the City of Durham. In October 1963 he went to High Point to serve as the City Traffic Engineer, which was later titled Director of Transportation. In this capacity he oversaw the planning, design, construction and implementation of many important projects and programs, including upgrades to the High Point's computerized traffic signal system, and the development of a multi-modal transportation system to serve the Furniture Market.
In addition to his official duties, R.V. played an active part in the foundation of the North Carolina Section of the Institute of Traffic (now Transportation) Engineers (ITE). He attended the first of many meetings in High Point in 1965 gradually becoming more involved in the organization. He served as the NCSITE President in 1969. His involvement also extended to the Southern District ITE, where he represented the North Carolina Section on the Executive Board for two years before becoming Southern District President in 1980. As a well-known and respected transportation leader in the southeastern United States, R.V. received the District's top two awards: the Marble J. Hensley Individual Activity Award in 1984 and the Herman Hoose Distinguished Service Award in 1990. To recognize the tireless service and dedication that Mr. RV Moss has shown, in 1992, the North Carolina Section created the RV Moss Lifetime Service Award in his honor. He is a Life Fellow in the International ITE. Even since his retirement from the City in 1993, he regularly attends the NC Sections' Annual Meeting each fall.
Mr. Moss is registered by the State of North Carolina as a Professional Engineer and Land Surveyor. He is an active member of First Baptist Church in High Point and has maintained membership in High Point's Kiwanis Club since 1965. He and his wife Vera currently split their time between a variety of activities in High Point and their mountain home in Ashe County.
2014 Award Winner: David Robinson, P.E.
The R.V. Moss Lifetime Service Award presented to David Robinson. He previously worked at NCDOT as the Transportation Engineering and Environmental Manger as well as a Senior Research Assistant at ITRE. He has been very active in the engineering profession. He continues to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the NC Transportation Hall of Fame which was established to honor individuals, businesses, organizations and agencies that have made significant contributions to North Carolina's transportation system. The nomination stated "he seems to be truly dedicated to serving and promoting the Transportation profession and more interested in shining the light of recognition on others and celebrating their contributions and achievements rather than his own.
Congratulations to David Robinson, PE for receiving the 2014 RV Moss Lifetime Service Award.
Recipient must possess excellent technical knowledge and must share their knowledge / insight with the NCSITE through presentations at NCSITE sponsored meetings or training sessions, or active participation in councils or committees, task forces, or work groups. Recipient must have made a significant contribution to the Section, and is not required to be a Member or Affiliate of NCSITE to be recognized with this award.
Mr. Jay Quinn was a highly respected vendor of traffic signal equipment who had a deep commitment for ITE. He was a pioneer in helping others get trained by personally conducting training classes before they were formally offered by ITE and others. He constantly tried to help others by helping them get connected with the right people, and he was viewed as a storehouse of technical information. For all these reasons, NCSITE presented Mr. Jay Quinn with the very first NCSITE Technical Excellence Award in 1992 and named this award in his honor. Prior to that, in 1969 he began his career with Southeastern Safety Supplies in Columbia SC. He served as the South Carolina ITE President in 1972. He was awarded the very prestigious Herman J. Hoose Award in 1973 by the Southern District ITE.
If anyone has a photo of Mr. Jay Quinn, or has additional biographical information that can be shared on this web-site, please notify the Chair of the Operations Committee.
2014 Award Winner: Bastian Schroeder, PhD., P.E.
The Jay Quinn Technical Excellence Award was presented to Bastian Schroeder, Assistant Director for Highway Systems for ITRE. Bastian was President of the ITE Student Chapter, and a NCSITE Scholarship recipient. For several years, he has led the NCSITE SimCap User Group including presenting and planning the meetings. He is a regular presenter during the technical sessions of the NCSITE Annual Meetings. The nomination for Bastian said "he has remained humble and approachable. His passion for sharing what he has learned with other transportation professionals equals and perhaps surpasses his passion for research and his own pursuit of learning". He also is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the NCSU department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineer where he frequently assists with lectures on roundabouts, simulation, signal, operations, pedestrian-bicycle issues, and transportation studies.
Congratulations to Bastian Schroeder, PhD., PE of ITRE for receiving the 2014 NCSITE Jay Quinn Technical Excellence Award.

2014 Award Winner: Todd Brooks
Todd Brooks, NCSITE President, said the following when presenting this year's President's Award:
"Throughout the year, I have had people comment on what I good job Ive been doing as president. To which I would respond that I feel like I am really not doing that great of a job. However, upon reflection, I realized one large reason this year has gone so smoothly is because I have a really great mentor. I am truly indebted to Todd Brooks for being over my shoulder, guiding me when I needed to make a decision for NCSITE or reminding me of something that I might have overlooked. I also appreciate being able to follow the example that he set last year. I am very happy and honored to award the 2014 President's Award to Todd Brooks."
Congratulations to Todd Brooks for receiving the NCSITE President's Award for 2014.

How To Stop Reactive Communication
How To Stop Reactive Communication
How To Stop Reactive Communication
If you have, you may have learned that any attempt to resolve an issue with a partner once someone is triggered into a fight-flight-freeze reaction is like trying to put out a fire by throwing gasoline on it. You'll do more damage than good because the part of your brain designed for battle and survival has taken over.
To Stop Reactivity, Find Your Brakes
Whenever you realize that one or both of you are triggered, find a way to stop. Find your brakes — or develop some! Brakes is a metaphor used by neurobiologists to describe how the safety (parasympathetic) circuit of the nervous system can counter-balance the acceleration of the fight-or-flight (sympathetic) circuit. When the latter is triggered, just like an accelerator, it speeds up our heart and pumps energy into our limbs for battle or escape. The braking function of our nervous system reverses this, slowing down our heart rate and returning us to a condition in which we can engage in healthy communication.
Having good brakes means that we can converse more slowly and consciously about an issue. Our higher brain remains in charge, so we can take into consideration what our partner says, even if it is different than our experience. We feel no need to interrupt or correct them. Our higher brain is continuously and automatically reassuring us that we are safe — and that it's safe to show vulnerable feelings and needs.
To the extent we have strong wiring and connectivity from our higher brains back into our alarm system, we have good braking ability. This downward connection from our higher brains to our "survival brain" is originally supposed to be hooked up in our childhood attachment training before the age of two. The more consistently we were nurtured by our caregivers when we were distressed, the stronger our downward wiring will be. This is called secure attachment.
Those of us who get easily triggered don't have strong enough brakes in our brains. Childhood attachment training did not hook up sufficient neural connections to enable us to realize we are actually safe. So now our alarm systems accelerate too quickly. With our underdeveloped brakes, we fly too easily into fight, flight or freeze.
How do we improve our automatic braking system? By applying our manual brakes as a way of strengthening the neural connections that will eventually make triggering events less likely to occur.
Whenever you realize you or your partner are triggered, find a way to pause or slow down your communication. Then find a way to reassure each other you are actually safe.
You can say "I need to pause." Or say something equivalent, such as, "Can we slow down for a moment?" or "I'm getting triggered." (But whatever you say, do not say to your partner something like, "I see YOU are getting triggered.")
"I Need to Pause"
The point of pausing is to insert a new choice into what is otherwise an automatic accelerating sequence of reactive behaviors. You are trying to interrupt the unconscious survival reaction of your nervous system. Then you can recognize that you are actually safe, that your survival is not at stake here.
Saying "I need to pause" is the same as saying: "My higher brain is getting hijacked, and I can't even really hear you. I'd like to return to this topic after we calm down."
Develop a Shorthand Signal
Typically, you won't be able to say those wise words when you're triggered. You simply don't have enough higher brain power when the primitive part of your nervous system kicks in. That's where a shorthand word or simple phrase like "I need to pause" comes in handy. Use a signal that will be distinct and obvious even when you have lost 90% of your IQ points.
How Long Do You Pause?
The length of time you need to pause will vary. It depends on how quickly you can calm your nervous systems down and return to knowing you are safe together. A big factor in how long it takes to calm down is how high you have let your states of activation escalate. The quicker you recognize that you or your partner are triggered and put a halt to it, the quicker you can recover.
Ideally you would notice those familiar signs of fight-flight-freeze right away and ask for a pause. But if you don't recognize this until you're both triggered to higher levels of activation, you may need to Pause for much longer than if you stopped right away. You may need an hour or more to calm down.
Beware of continuing too soon. Research shows that if couples try to continue talking about a topic before they calm down and soothe themselves, they can quickly escalate to even higher levels of fight-or-flight, where even more damage gets done. Nervous systems need adequate time to discharge fear and allow safety circuits to be back in charge.

What players, pundits and ex-Cowboys have had to say about Tony Romo this off-season
Photo: Tony Dejak/AP
Former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman to 105.3 The Fan's RAGE show in February: "The expectations for he and this team have been high ever since [2006]. I maintain that they're close. And I know that people keep asking, 'Hey, can Tony Romo lead this team to a Super Bowl?' I believe that he can. It's hard to do. Whether or not he ultimately does it or doesn't, to me, isn't really the primary thing. The main thing is you build this team, if you believe that he is capable of doing that, which I believe he is and I believe the Cowboys feel that way as well. Then, you can put the other pieces around him and you have a chance to be really good and really competitive."

Neelixes Strongest episode

Location: Shangri-La
Re: Neelixes Strongest episode
Supposedly Neelix was intended to be the roguish scoundrel type character like Quark was over on DS9. Though intentions didn't factor out into what we got.
Really Neelix was just a jerk who had to force himself upon every situation regardless of how useless or unwanted he is. He has to be the center of attention and has severe jealousy issues. You can't even use a replicator ration or cook something yourself without him getting territorial. To say nothing of his blundering nature as morale officer and ambassador.
No doubt he meant well under it all, but he's just like the annoying house guest who won't go away and just burrows his way into the situation. He genuinely did serve as a paternal figure to Naomi after all. That was probably his most successful role and his scenes in that regard were annoying only because of the child aspect of it more than Neelix's regularly douchebaggery.
For a specific episode of his that I liked... well I'd have to say Fair Trade tops my list. Even in this one he really show how despicable he can be. Sure he lied and stole from his comrades, dealt drugs and was an accessory to murder, but it was all well intentioned. It all just started as him turning a blind eye to a petty crime as a favor to an old friend he owed a lot, and then just spiraled more and more deep. At least then he did the right thing in the end. Still... that's the only episode where I can say I really felt for him, and even then it was just... his own stupidity that got him into it.
Honestly, he demonstrated from Day 1 he was completely untrustworthy. In Caretaker he lies to Voyager's crew about their people being in a Kazon encampment just so he can rescue his girlfriend. Said lie ends up with them getting captured and Neelix escalating the situation by taking their leader hostage and expecting Janeway to get him out of it. Then when Kes falls all over herself to help them in gratitude, which is only proper, he has the audacity to complain saying they don't owe Voyager anything. When all he had to do was tell the truth and Janeway probably would've helped anyways. At least then she'd know she was going into a hostile situation without the Talaxian draft dodger making things worse. How Janeway ever trusted Neelix after that it beyond me. Must be his idolizing of her.

Anderson reaches Sydney finalComment on this story
Johannesburg – South African tennis player Kevin Anderson became the first South African to reach the final of the Sydney International on Friday, after beating Frenchman Julien Benneteau.
The world number 36-ranked Anderson lost the first set, before winning the next two, to advance into Saturday's final, where he will face either young Australian Bernard Tomic or Italian third seed Andreas Seppi.
It took Anderson two hours and 23 minutes to grind out the 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (10/8) victory.
Wayne Ferreira was the last South African to play in a Sydney semi-final against Carlos Moya in 2004. – Sapa

Gophers to wait on Mbakwe clearance
Updated: November 2, 2009, 5:43 PM ETAssociated Press
MINNEAPOLIS -- Junior forward Trevor Mbakwe, one of Minnesota's touted new recruits, will not be allowed to play for the Gophers (No. 25 AP, No. 18 ESPN/USA Today) until his pending court case on a felony aggravated battery charge is cleared up.
Athletics director Joel Maturi announced Monday his decision on Mbakwe, who faces a December trial for an alleged attack on a woman in Miami in April. His attorney, Gregory Samms, told the Star Tribune newspaper this summer that his client was mistakenly ...

I am 36 with a sex drive that appears to be unquenchable. I am bi but lean more towards men. I am a very alpha female, I don't really like the term Dom or Sub because I can legitimately be either or both depending on the situation. To me the terms don't leave much room for equality or partnership. I prefer alpha males who can stand up to me, I am not interested in dominating them but they better prove they are worth my attention. That being said I am far more likely to sleep with other women than men. I will take another woman as a lover and can accept one as an equal but I have never met one who makes me want to submit to her. I am happily married and we occasionally swing. Many of my stories are based on my own experiences. I will leave it to you to decide where reality gives way to fantasy. Lack of fluency is a major turn off for me. While I respect the dedication it takes to learn multiple languages, if you are going to seduce me via the written word you must be skilled in its use.

text: SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads) Hey guys, do you feel like the questions on nbme are much harder than the world questions? I get around average scores when I do blocks in world, but then get absolutely owned on the nbme tests. I feel like the questions are WAY harder conceptually. My friends say they are of similar difficulty, so I'm wondering if it's just me. It's rather unsettling because people say the real tests are more like nbme's rather than world.

The City of Lebanon has scheduled its spring yard waste collection for Monday, April 21, to Friday, April 25.
All yard waste must be placed curbside by 7 a.m. April 21 to be picked up. Crews will begin collecting the waste at 7:15 a.m. Once an area has been cleaned up, no additional yard waste may be placed in the street.
The city will pick up yard waste in the following order:
North of Cumberland Street — 11th Avenue to Third Avenue, Third Avenue to Third Street, Third Street to Eighth Street, and Eighth Street to the city line.
South of Cumberland Street — Fifth Avenue to Lincoln Avenue, Lincoln Avenue to Eighth Street, Eighth Street to 12th Street and 12th Street to the city line.
Yard waste must be placed in the street 1 foot from the curb for collection. Vehicles must be parked at least 10 feet from the yard waste piles to allow room for city equipment to maneuver. Branches longer than 6 feet cannot be accepted. Storm sewers should be left unblocked when placing items along the curb for collection. Materials cannot be placed along the curb until April 19.
Collection will include hedge trimmings, branches and garden residue. Lawn grass, ornamental grass and non-organic materials will not be picked up. Bricks, pavers and other similar items should not be placed in the piles with the yard waste.
City residents unable to participate in curbside collection may purchase a key card for the City of Lebanon yard waste recycling facility, 893 N. Eighth St. The yearly fee for a key card is $20.
For more information, contact the Department of Public Works at 717-228-4490.

For my 9 yr old daughter. After reading through the forums, quality is not bad for the price. However, "assembly" is said to usually need tweaking. What I have noticed.
1. Seat out of line-I wil need to adjust height anyway.
2. Fork out of line with handlebar/headset.
3. Front brake will need adjustment-rubs.
4. Chain is dry and unlubed.
What else would anyone recommend? What else has anyone found? Concerned about headset/wheel bearings/bb being properly greased. Has anyone found this to be an issue? Gears/deraileur seem to shift fine. Just wondering how far I need to tear into this. Handy with all of above, but NOT with spokes/wheels. They seem straight. Whatever anyone has experienced, would appreciate. Thanks.

It is now even easier for RYA Team15 (T15) clubs to enter the inter-club zone championships this summer thanks to a few rule changes which allow even more children to take part.
RYA logo small
For participants who turn 15 halfway through the season, the new rules state that they will now be able to take part in all four of the T15 Zone Championships including the national T15 Champions Cup.
The 2010 season will also see a change to one of the sail size fleets; the 5.5m fleet will change to a 5.8m fleet which will be the maximum sail size that can be used. It will still remain an open fleet, allowing any board to be sailed and the Techno Award will still be presented to the winning Techno sailor outside of the top three.
This year, RYA Zone Squad Sailors who are members of T15 clubs can represent their team in an appropriate class of any of the four T15 sail size fleets, though the rule remains that they must sail a Techno; this includes squad sailors who have previously sailed a 7.8m sail in other competitions.
Finally, if a T15 sailor improves their sailing sufficiently throughout the season and is selected for the RYA National Junior Windsurfing Squad, then providing their team qualifies, they can now continue to represent their team at the Team15 Champions Cup. However, the exclusion rule still remains for existing National Junior Windsurfing Squad Sailors and ex-National Junior Windsurfing Squad Sailors, who are ineligible to complete.
RYA's Windsurfing Development Officer Gillian Wright says: 'Team15 continues to evolve in order to make the programme stronger and even more successful. We listen to feedback from Team15 clubs throughout the season and take this into account at the end of season review meeting. We hope the rule changes for 2010 will encourage more T15 clubs to field a team at their local events, whilst also helping sailors to progress to the next level of the competition pathway when it is appropriate to do so.'
For more information, parents and coaches are encouraged to read both the T-15 inter-club 'Notice of Race' and 'Sailing Instructions' before every event which can be found at www.team15.org.uk.
Supported by industry leaders Neilson, Tushingham/Starboard, Windsurf magazine, Boards magazine, Neil Pryde and Boardwise, T15 was set up by the RYA to help make windsurfing more accessible and appealing to youngsters at a grass roots level.
Fun and informal training sessions take place at T15 clubs all over the country for kids up to the age of 15, which are run weekly by specialist RYA coaches. The T15 inter-club championships takes place regionally over the summer culminating in the national final , the T15 Champions Cup, adding a competitive edge and race training opportunities for those keen to hone their skills.
Kit can be borrowed from the clubs and the cost of sessions is kept low – to find out how to get involved and your local club visit www.team15.org.uk or contact the RYA on 0845 345 0400.

that ass looks proper tight, but some idiots are gonna start up about her cankles in 3…2…1…
i·ro·ny \ˈīrənē\
: a statement or situation where the meaning is
directly contradicted by the presentation of the idea.
I think most people can overlook her canckles.
What most people won't overlook is that in real life she is a Grade-A cunt.
whoa, those cankles
Black really does slim down those cankles.
Whoa. Since when did she have such a nice ass?
She got really skinny for Charlie's Angels. I'm glad to see she filled back out.
Is there a Church of Butt? I'm currently an agnostic, but I feel like preying on th- I mean praying to that thing.
Poor little soldier…she's looking for the scrap of paper she wrote my phone number on. Better give her a call before she bursts into tears…
'I'll one up that Huntington-whatever bitch…'

I'd do that ass, right now

OK I see digital camera talk in the lounge all the time. And lots of people discuss scanning film on all the apug boards. The dpug boards seem dead.
I get it, but it seems a little silly. I never understood the distinction. I am shooting film with the goal being a 100% wet print.
I digitize things (like everyone HAS to) to share on the internet and make storage/organizing easier.

Several weeks ago, we received a "poem" – for lack of a better word – that just recently was included in a mass-mailing aimed at Trimble County voters.
Whether the individual or group who sent it to our office meant for it to be published, I don't know. But, we didn't – for two reasons.

"Nerdfighteria" isn't so much of a place on a map as a thoroughly invested in and developed community – a state of mind even. And you might be a part of it. I don't want to alarm you but there is a very high possibility that you could be a Nerdfighter, one of the clever inhabitants of Nerdfighteria. It's alright. It happens to a lot of people that way. One can live their whole life not knowing, but then the realization comes. One day you wake up and instead of being made out of bones and flesh and blood like any other human, you're made entirely out of awesome. Because that is essentially what a Nerdfighter is – pure, undiluted awesome.
In January of 2007, two brothers decided to embark on a project. They would go 365 days with absolutely no textual communication, conversing solely through the means of video via the website youtube.com. They would update daily every weekday switching off each day. The username Vlogbrothers was decided on and shortly after the revolution that was Brotherhood 2.0 began. The brothers in question were John and Hank Green. John was at that point an acclaimed novelist for his work on Printz Award winning novel Looking for Alaska and the book An Abundance of Katherines. Meanwhile, Hank was known for his environmental work with founding the website ecogeek.org. Later, he became known for that in addition to his humorous and quite wonderful musical prowess. Through Vlogbrothers John and Hank challenged each other to perform certain tasks such as discussing the political situation in Nepal while eating five sheets of toilet paper, handing out boxes of Peeps to strangers on the streets, eating a blenderized happy meal and spending 15 hours in a Target. Much of those tasks came from "punishments" suggested predominantly by their subscribers for breaking the no textual communication rule or for going over the four minute time restraint on the videos. The brothers began the project as an effort to reconnect with each other. What they did not anticipate was how many people would watch the exchange and furthermore, how many would take an active role by commenting, rating and providing general input on various conversations, thoughts and ideas suggested by both brothers. Very quickly the conversation became much larger than just two brothers.
Instead of shrinking back from this kind of attention, the brothers embraced it and through that developed quite a following. A community evolved – ever expanding and growing in a way no one expected. The brothers fondly deemed these community members "Nerdfighters." These were not bullies that beat on nerds- though the name did originate from an arcade game with that exact theme. No, Nerdfighters fight for nerds (much like freedom fighter fight for freedom) and against the constantly growing amount of suck in the world (worldsuck). The Vlogbrothers set up a website at brotherhood2.com and then, as the community grew, transferred the domain to nerdfighters.ning.com. The website became the forum outside of the YouTube comments allowing members to discuss the latest videos, interact with one another and suggest various thoughts, ideas and machinations. Today the Vlogbrothers have over 400,000 subscribers providing a powerful and nerdy force to be reckoned with.
After 2007, the Vlogbrothers took off in acclaim as entertainers as well as generally awesome people. This Nerdfighter community was something that was bigger than just the madness of the internet. They really hit the map when Hank's song Accio Deathly Hallows was featured on the front page of YouTube. A slew of views and subscribers followed – mostly amazing, but some not so nice (Flamers that means you). The influx of negativity was dealt with in the most mature way possible – through intelligent reasoning and a surplus of Shakespeare inspired insults. The Vlogbrothers constantly reinforced their acronym of DFTBA (Don't Forget To Be Awesome).
The "How Nerdfighters Drop Insults" video was the first Vlogbrothers video I had ever seen. My best friend Kara messaged the video to me because in it John gets really excited about his home library (something which I one day aspire to have). That video was only the beginning of something much larger. John and Hank Green affect a lot of people daily and I'm happy to say that I am one of them. The Vlogbrothers are just regular guys that happen to be hilarious, thoughtful and remarkably intelligent. They are the kind of people you want to listen to. They make me think about a field of topics from the meaning of freedom to subatomic particles to the nature of human existence. Meanwhile, in between all these heavy topics there is the light hearted humor of "in your pants" jokes (add "in your pants" to the end of any book title – I'm telling you, just do it) and their "guilt-free three" lists (on which is Helen Hunt and Judy Blume respectively). I got involved with Vlogbrothers pretty late in the game. By the time I started watching it was 2009 and they had been at it for three years which meant I had a lot of catching up to do.
But I did catch up. I watched all their videos, all nearly 600 of them at the time, not because someone asked me to but because I wanted to, because I was genuinely interested. Even more so I was intrigued by this community and the idea of a community. Through my many hours of observing past videos I learned a great deal about what a community as large as the Nerdfighters can accomplish. John talked about how to be microfinanciers through kiva.org and encouraged everyone to get involved in the effort. The great part was John was doing it too. The Vlogbrothers aren't all talk and no action. They get just as involved as they people they adress, if not more so and hence are a great vehicle for spreading the word. With the help of the Nerdfighters, they aided the Harry Potter Alliance in raising money to send planes of supplies to Haiti. John is a big advocate of the Uncultured Project, through the work of Nerdfighter Shawn in Bangladesh, a student who dropped everything to go amongst these people and help them as a person, not as a statistic. John suggested punishments for himself through the act of eating peeps for every $10 raised for Shawn's cause which generated a lot of donations and hence a lot of aid for these people in Bangladesh. Finally, there is the mother of all Nerdfighter projects – the Project for Awesome, which is essentially a giant overhaul of YouTube in order to get the word out about various donation-worthy charities.
While some of these community building activities are more serious and charity related, there are many that simply are not. There are a lot of simple, down to it fun activities. In December of 2009, Nerdfighteria took part in a challenge by Darpa to track down and locate ten red weather balloons tethered to the ground across the United States. They came incredibly close to winning, but were inevitably beaten by MIT. Then there was the elaborate and intense Nerdfighter Scavenger hunt which was devised by the Vlogbrothers and scattered across the country, even across the world for Nerdfighteria to work together and find. The Nerdfighters even managed to find a copy of one of John's favorite childhood books that had gone out of print.
Basically what I'm trying to say is the Nerdfighters together can accomplish many things, from the gravely serious to the slightly ridiculous, which is one of the reasons it makes me so proud to be a member of this community. Because it is a community. This is a tight knit group of people that can trust each other because at the end of the day we all have some serious common threads. We like the same phenomena from Harry Potter to Dr. Who and we all have the same connection of John and Hank and the desire to make the world better. Because of the Vlogbrothers I have started my own Vlog and have met some truly incredible people. I have been motivated to work become a founding member of the Boston Nerdfighters, which involves meeting up with once strangers (now good friends) in the middle of the Boston common for picnics and cupcakes. I'm proud to be a nerd and a Nerdfighter because at the end of the day, they are some of the best people on earth and quite frankly, it's awesome.

text: 000 FXUS63 KPAH 220843 AFDPAH AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Paducah KY 243 AM CST SUN NOV 22 2015 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday night) Issued at 243 AM CST SUN NOV 22 2015 Above average confidence in the short term period due to decent model agreement and very little to discuss. At the time of this writing post frontal cloudiness is clearing the eastern sections of our CWA. Beyond that high pressure at the surface and rising heights aloft will keep the region dry through the period. By the end of the short term period southerly flow on the back side of the high and winds aloft becoming southwest will begin to advect moisture back across the area but not enough to produce precipitation anywhere in our area. Temperatures starting off well below normal will moderate back to near normal by the end of the period. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Saturday) Issued at 243 AM CST SUN NOV 22 2015 Higher than average confidence starts off the long term with good agreement among model solutions. Small timing differences lower confidence slightly by late week, but not enough to throw much doubt on the outlook for a wet first half of the extended holiday weekend. An upper level low coming onshore over the Pacific Northwest Monday night is forecast to dig into the Intermountain West by mid week. The low will eventually phase with the main upper level trough over Canada by late week. Successive perturbations ejecting east from the low will bring more clouds and eventually rain to the area by mid to late week. Until then, dry weather is forecast to persist over much of the region through Wednesday night. The only exception would be if a stray shower made it far enough east to impact the Ozark foothills of southeast Missouri, but chances of that appear low at this point. Slight timing differences aside, forecast models have come into better agreement over the last 24 hours with respect to rain chances Thanksgiving Day and Night. The consensus signal is that much of southeast Missouri and at least southwest Illinois may end up seeing some rain by Thanksgiving afternoon, while the rest of the area may remain dry until rain moves in Thanksgiving Night. The likelihood for rain showers peaks on Friday before showing some sign of coming to an end on Saturday. Largely positive showalter indices and a moist adiabatic thermal profile should limit the potential for thunder. Climatologically high precipitable water content in excess of 1.5 inches by Friday signals heavy rain as the main concern once again with this system. Both the GFS and ECMWF shift the precipitation south and east of the area late Friday night and Saturday with the passing cold front. Dry weather looks to take hold for the latter half of the weekend as another Canadian air mass builds in. Temperatures are forecast to moderate to above seasonal norms through Thanksgiving Day, with readings near the 60 degree mark on Thanksgiving. Sharply colder conditions should follow in the wake of the frontal passage next weekend. && .AVIATION... Issued at 1142 PM CST SAT NOV 21 2015 MVFR cielings have slowed their progress across the area significantly late this evening, but they should clear KEVV shortly and KOWB by 09Z. Northwest winds will continue to diminish, and with surface high pressure over the region, light and variable winds are likely through much of Sunday. Eventually a light south wind will develop at all sites, primarily for the evening hours. && .PAH Watches/Warnings/Advisories... IL...NONE. MO...NONE. IN...NONE. KY...NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...JP LONG TERM...RJP AVIATION...DRS

The room was very, very small, but thats ok given the price. You can't expect a big or nice room when paying so little. The first time we had breakfast there (included in the price) we were told that they were out and that they would not be making more. Breakfast is served from 6am to 10am and we got there at 8am. The staff in the restaurant were extremely slow and terrible (think 45 mins for a coffee) despite there being only 2 other people in the restaurant. But the reception took the cake for bad service. She was extremely rude and confrontational. We agreed on a 10% discount before we arrived, and they did not want to honor agreement, despite having a conformation email from management. Overall a terrible experience, the staff was the worst I have seen anywhere in the world. Would not recommend to anyone, not even budget travelers. Stay away at all costs and do not be lured into the cheap prices!

Keep Your Bad Decisions from Getting Worse by Mastering Acceptance
We all make a few bad decisions here and there, but sometimes we let those bad decisions turn into paths to things much worse. Learning acceptance and coming to terms with your bad decisions can help you move on in the right direction. »

The Government has used a Ministerial press release to announce it has snatched millions of dollars unlawfully from bodies corporate, Labour's Revenue spokesperson David Clark says.
A statement issued by Revenue Minister Todd McClay says the Government is cancelling registration for those who have been GST registered as of last Friday. This means double-taxation for affected bodies corporate.
Revenue Minister Todd McClay must release the text of the Inter-Governmental Agreement which affects tens of thousands of Kiwis who were born or have worked in the United States, Labour's Revenue spokesperson David Clark says.
National is about to pass legislation to ratify an agreement between the US and New Zealand which requires our Government to hand over details of Kiwis' bank accounts. This change is in line with the American FATCA legislation which enables the US to gather information about its citizens' offshore income.
National's insistence that it is cracking down on tax dodgers is little more than a bit of election year chest beating, Labour Leader David Cunliffe says.
"Revenue Minister Todd McClay surely doesn't believe collecting $100 million of an estimated $7.3 billion a year in unpaid tax proves the Government is playing hardball.
"The problem is far deeper and more systemic than National is willing to confront.
Angry parents will be sent into a tailspin and there will be arguments over Christmas dinner after Inland Revenue shelved child support changes for a year, Labour's Revenue spokesperson David Clark says.
The publication of Inland Revenue's annual performance measures is already one week overdue.
There are two possible explanations, says Labour's Revenue spokesperson David Clark.
"Either the outdated IT system is causing issues, or the Government is preparing to bury worrying trends in its traditional Christmas document dump.
"Either way, this is a bad news story.
"Revelations this week that self-employed debt is growing – with more than $1 billion owed to the public purse – are just the beginning. Hundreds of individuals owe more than $1 million each.
A Labour government will substantially simplify tax for small businesses, Labour Leader David Cunliffe says.
David Cunliffe made this commitment to a business audience hosted by Ernst and Young in Auckland.
"Small businesses are spending far too much time and money complying with a tax system that wasn't designed for them.
The Government's call for feedback to resolve problems around the tax deductibility of research and development expenditure for businesses is more tinkering and shows a government out of touch with the needs of business, says Labour's Innovation, Research & Development spokesperson Megan Woods and Revenue spokesperson David Clark.
"We don't need small scale thinking, we need a big bold initiative that will allow businesses to do what they do best: innovate," says Megan Woods.
The Revenue portfolio is in disarray following the departure of distracted former Minister Peter Dunne, Labour's Revenue spokesperson David Cunliffe said today.
"New Minister Todd McClay will have his work cut out catching the egg that is IRD before it hits the floor.
"Peter Dunne, the rotating quasi-official who previously held the portfolio, got completely lost in the weeds of iPad and car park taxes. He was effectively captured by his officials.
The Prime Minister is further distancing himself from Revenue Minister and United Future Leader Peter Dunne as IRD's customer service gets worse, Labour's Revenue Spokesperson David Cunliffe says.
"This year John Key has twice thrown his coalition partner under the bus by publicly announcing back downs on Mr Dunne's unfair and unworkable car park and iPad taxes.
A mounting crisis in IRD's customer service is unfair to honest New Zealanders who are trying to comply with their tax obligations, Labour's Revenue Spokesperson David Cunliffe says.
"Peter Dunne swears his department is adequately staffed to deal with the rate changes which hit Kiwis in the pocket this month, despite slashing IRD's workforce by seven per cent last year.

Locus Focus on 06/10/13
COWS SAVE THE PLANET: Restoring Soil to Heal the Earth
Could it be that the answers to some of our most challenging global problems involve neither advanced technologies nor the lion's share of our national treasuries, but the humble layer of soil beneath our feet? The problem, however, is that we're losing topsoil somewhere between ten—in the United States—and forty—in China and India—times faster than we're regenerating it. On this episode of Locus Focus we talk with veteran journalist Judith Schwartz, author of Cows Save the Planet: And Other Improbable Ways of Restoring Soil to Heal the Earth about how focusing on soil restoration will allow us to chip away at the seemingly insurmountable problems we currently face: climate change, desertification, biodiversity loss, droughts, floods, wildfires, rural poverty, malnutrition, and obesity.
Judith D. Schwartz is a longtime freelance writer whose work has appeared in venues from Glamour and Redbook to The Christian Science Monitor and The New York Times. She is the author of several books, including Tell Me No Lies: How to Face the Truth and Build a Loving Marriage (coauthored) and The Therapist's New Clothes.

Make that Windsor knot count with a tie that's handcrafted in the USA.
What you need to know
From cowboy kerchiefs to aristocratic ascots, it's no secret that what you wear around your neck says a lot about who you are. And for those of us who own neither 10-gallon hats nor 40-foot yachts, there's another, more stylish way to show some office flair: the Bonobos necktie. Exquisitely stitched from world-class materials, made right here in the USA, our ties are designed to be both classic and modern, highly professional yet down for a good time. They will add some class to any suit, panache to any jacket, and get the party started no matter where you choose to tie one on.
