AUSTIN, Texas -- For more than a year before Texas canceled its $144 million contract with an engineering firm it had hired to handle more than $1 billion in federal hurricane disaster relief grants, state managers warned that the firm, HNTB, had radically overspent its budget and should be relieved of most of its duties.
In the end, it was some of those same supervisors at the Texas Department of Rural Affairs who were fired and HNTB that carried on "full steam ahead," in the words of one of the supervisors.
''Everyone was shocked," recalled a manager who survived the November 2010 purge but later left the department. "Everyone knew then the rumors of HNTB taking over were true."
In February, Rural Affairs Executive Director Charlie Stone laid off his disaster recovery division -- about 35 employees, almost all of them earning a fraction of the salaries the government was paying HNTB -- and outsourced their work to the contractor. According to HNTB's contracted billing rates, its 14 highest-paid employees charge between $200 and $360 an hour for their services, though the highest-paid Rural Affairs employee made $126,000 a year, or $61 an hour.
As a state Senate committee begins an inquiry this week into how the hurricane relief money has been managed, the Austin American-Statesman has learned that HNTB is positioning itself for more state work.
In September, the Department of Public Safety contracted for HNTB's services to support disaster planning and response -- a broad range of duties now carried out by the department's Division of Emergency Management.
The division coordinates the state's emergency response to hurricanes, wildfires, floods and other natural disasters and deals with homeland security. Through various programs, it disbursed $397 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency grants between September 2009 and August 2010.
State and federal records show that HNTB spent 90 percent of the money budgeted for managing infrastructure grants to communities stricken by hurricanes Ike and Dolly while seeing only 20 percent of the projects to completion. The Texas Department of Housing and Community Development, which managed the housing component of the hurricane relief program without an outside contractor, stayed within its budget.
HNTB is a Kansas City-based company with deep ties to Gov. Rick Perry's administration, having given close to a half-million dollars to the Republican Governors Association, which Perry formerly led. It was the lead consultant for Perry's proposed (and eventually abandoned) Trans-Texas Corridor highway project.
Until mid-2009, Ray Sullivan, Perry's presidential campaign communications director and his former chief of staff, was a lobbyist for HNTB. Reggie Bashur, a Perry campaign adviser, still is, according to Texas Ethics Commission reports.
HNTB's engineering contracts with the Texas Department of Transportation, whose commissioners are appointed by Perry, have earned the firm $119 million over the past four years, according to figures provided by the department.
As for the Department of Rural Affairs, Stone was dismissed as executive director in early March by the new chairman of the Rural Affairs governing board, who is also appointed by Perry. The agency was later dismantled, its remnants merged with other agencies in a long-anticipated budget-cutting move championed by Perry, who shifted responsibility for both housing and infrastructure disaster grants to Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson.
''It was like a movie where everyone dies in the end," quipped a former employee. He and several former co-workers who were interviewed for this story requested anonymity, saying they feared for their job prospects in state government or those of their spouses. Stone did not respond to requests for comment.

I searched several stores for a lamp with similar style as this one, but ended up getting this Soho lamp b/c it looked really good online. Very happy when it arrived. The blue is as pictured online (vibrant but not obnoxious - its modern yet classic) The quality is great. I'm planning on ordering a second one (same color) so it balances the room. Plus the lamp is very nice! Not disappointed.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - International crisis, national issues, even local situations continue to mount up, leading to another potential Christmas holiday cancellation in Bullitt County.
Unlike past concerns, this year's events lean far beyond a naughty/nice list.
According to the official North Pole newspaper, the Joy-Spreader, Santa Claus was considering a bypass of the entire country this year, with Bullitt County specifically tied in with the decision.
FRANKFORT -- If you drive impaired in Jefferson County and surrounding counties -- beware.
The Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS), Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and Brown-Forman joined other Louisville Highway Safety Committee team members from highway safety and health-related agencies to kick off the holiday "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign recently at Fourth Street Live in Louisville.
Wow, what a turn out for our first City sponsored parade and our display light up at City Hall.
It took a lot of time spent by a group of guys that I can't thank enough and that is our Public Works and Sewer Departments.
We need to also thank the citizens of Shepherdsville for coming out Friday; we hope you enjoyed it.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
As we approach the end of another year it DOES NOT seem possible that this year has come and gone so fast. I want to make you aware of some things that happen in our office every year in December and January.
The Bullitt County Clerk's office will be closed for Christmas on Dec. 24-25.
We will be closed for New Year's on Dec. 31- Jan. 1, 2016.
Voter Registration is something people usually only think about when it is time to vote two times a year.
Attendance is important.
Whether it is at school or work or as a member of a governmental body, being there is very important.
In terms of school or work, the show will normally go on -- whether you are there or not.
In government, however, your attendance may be a key reason why a legislative body meets or cancels its proceedings.
While we are a few months away from the filing deadline for local races, it is a good time to think before you sign up.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- The Bullitt County Public School System has a vision statement.
It's pretty standard -- "The leader in educational excellence."
And it has a fancy mission statement.
"The Bullitt County Public Schools learning community will educate all students to high levels of academic performance as measured by state and national standards by creating and maintaining a positive learning environment with a comprehensive system of support."
Studies show that the average American gains one to two pounds over the holidays. While it may not sound like much, those pounds can add up over time.

SBNation was kind enough to put together a list of all the cuts made by every team following yesterday's cutdown day. Almost all of these players are subject to the waiver wire, after which point they can be added to practice squads. Vested veterans with more than four years of experience are not subject to the waiver wire and become free agents immediately.
Here are a non-exhaustive list of cuts that I believe the New York Jets should take a good, hard look at. Some of these players were cut because they aren't talented enough, and others are being put on practice squads. Still others are good enough to make a regular roster but because of a numbers game are the odd men out:
Yawin Smallwood, LB (Atlanta Falcons)
T.J. Graham, WR (Buffalo Bills)
Tavarres King, WR (Carolina Panthers)
Robert Lester, S (Carolina Panthers)
Dion Lewis, RB (Cleveland Browns)
Leon McFadden, CB (Cleveland Browns)
Zac Dysert, QB (Denver Broncos)
Adrian Hubbard, LB (Green Bay Packers)
Quentin Groves, LB (Houston Texans)
Jeremy Gallon, WR (New England Patriots)
Robert Meachum, WR (New Orleans Saints)
Brandon Coleman, WR (New Orleans Saints)
John Conner, FB (New York Giants)
Kenjon Barner, RB (Philadelphia Eagles)
Ed Reynolds, S (Philadelphia Eagles)
Vincent Brown, WR (San Diego Chargers)
Shayne Skov, LB (San Francisco 49ers)
Eric Winston, OT (Seattle Seahawks)
Phillip Adams, CB (Seattle Seahawks)
Michael Sam, DE (St. Louis Rams)
Lache Seastrunk (Washington Redskins)
Many of these players will return to their team's practice squad, however it is possible the Jets may snag one or two. These are the guys I would be interested in.

A BBC investigation has revealed that Britain's Islamic schools are teaching pupils antisemitic information from a Saudi Arabian textbook.
According to a Panorama report, 5,000 children as young as age six are being taught from the official Saudi national curriculum, which includes among its lessons a list of the "reprehensible" qualities of the Jews.
In different circumstances, the Zefat Academic College in the northern town of Safed could have been a poster story for successful integration between the Jewish and Arab communities in Israel.
The Islam Channel will appeal against an Ofcom ruling that found it has an anti-Israel, pro-Hamas bias.
The broadcasting regulator made the ruling last week following a report on the channel's output by the Quilliam Foundation, a London-based counter terrorism think tank.
Ofcom criticised the channel's coverage of international affairs and of the Middle East conflict for breaching rules on impartiality.
The Islamic extremist preacher Omar Bakri – who once called for the death of Sir Paul McCartney for playing in Israel – has been sentenced to life in prison in Lebanon.
The Syrian-born cleric was sentenced in his absence at a military court in Lebanon for allegedly helping train members of Al Qaeda at a camp in Tripoli. He is currently in hiding with relatives in Lebanon.
A judicial review has upheld the ban placed on Muslim preacher and writer Dr Zakir Naik by Home Secretary Theresa May earlier this year.
Dr Naik had planned a lecture tour to Britain in the summer at venues including the Sheffield Arena, Wembley Arena and the Birmingham National Exhibition Centre.
The Islam Channel has been found in breach of the UK broadcasting code by Ofcom after it found the London-based channel to have an anti Israel, pro-Hamas bias.
The broadcasting regulator made the ruling today following a report on the channel's output by the Quilliam Foundation, a London-based counter terrorism think tank.
British Jews who care about Israel should care about its 1.5 million Arab citizens. Fully integrating the Arab minority is vital to Israel's prosperity and cohesion. It is not just an issue that affects Israel's security - we have seen before how tensions between Israel's Jewish and Arab communities can bubble over into violence - but also one that is central to the state's economic prospects, as well as its global standing as the one true democracy in the Middle East.
It should be the conspiracy theorist's dream scenario. Just as the coalition is being held to its promises to dismantle the Labour government's security state, a parcel bomb is found on board a cargo plane at a British airport. There was a time, before the attacks of July 7 2005, when some of us still gave credence to the idea that the British state was overhyping the terror threat in order to scare us into accepting infringements of civil liberties. How interesting that no one is suggesting that the Yemeni parcel bombs are anything other than very real.
Political Islam or Islamism, as it is sometimes known, has finally entered the mainstream of British politics. The election of Lutfur Rahman as Mayor of Tower Hamlets, the new government's decision to send a minister to attend Islam Channel's Global Peace and Unity conference, and the news that Tony Blair's sister-in-law has converted to Islam, demonstrate that a radical strain of totalitarian Islam has become acceptable to a significant proportion of the political classes.
Senior Jewish figures have raised concerns over the election of a controversial Muslim politician as mayor of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
Lutfur Rahman was dropped as the Labour Party's official candidate after evidence was produced of irregularities in the nomination process and links to the radical Muslim group Islamic Forum Europe.
He then stood as an independent and last week trounced Labour rival Helal Abbas, although only a quarter of the electorate turned out to vote. He will now preside over the Olympic borough's £1 billion budget.

This article in no way refutes or undermines Goldstone. You need to learn to read language in context rather than taking a few comments, distorting them and declaring some nonsensical conclusion. What the article is saying, in part, is that Israeli leaders' words made it obvious to the world that Israel was going and planning on going beserk. This, along with videos of white phosphorous attacks and reports from UN facilities under fire, got the attention of the UN. Nothing in the article remotely suggests that all information considered by Goldstone came from Israeli politicians. In fact, it is clear that little if any of Goldstone is based on such comments except for the determination of the role of politicians in decision making and the complicity of the Israeli government from the top down. Goldstone and his team went to Gaza. He wanted to interview IDF and visit Sderot, but was refused. Had you bothered to read the report you would know this.

Very Pissed - Gunman At My Kid's School Bus Stop

Usually in a country where citizens are not allowed to carry/own guns, criminals/wacos of every sort own a gun for sure and they're going to use it against you. Obviously cops won't do anything about that but they are always willing to arrest you if they find you with a fucking pocket knife. I'm glad you're able to protect your sons/daughters/loved ones with a gun, you sound like a caring parent and a valuable community member, I wish you good luck for your hunt.
Everyone should be free to own a gun and to carry it wherever he wants. In the past we built/carried our weapons without any prohibition, then the elites found out it was easier to kill/enslave unarmed freemen, that's how gun laws were born.

Gardai Are Above The Law Just Like The Paedophile Priests In The Bad Old Days
galway | anti-war / imperialism | press release Monday June 24, 2013 11:34 by Galway Alliance Against War
The Galway Alliance Against War claims in a press release that the Gardai see themselves above the law just like the paedophile priests in the bad old days.
The statement comes in response to a refusal by Garda Superintendent Roche of Ballinasloe Garda station to uphold a complaint by the Galway Alliance Against Wars PRO, Niall Farrell, and his family in relation to a raid on their home over a year ago on June 7th 2012. The complaint was based on the failure of the Gardai to allow the Farrell family read a copy of the search warrant. During the raid a desktop computer was taken and 13 months later still has not been returned.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
A journalist pays the ultimate price in Syria
Michael Evans | 14 Oct 2013 07:57 GMT | Poverty & Development, China
Beijing, China - For more than 25 years, China's government has enforced a regimen of military training to instil discipline, patriotism, and physical fitness in the country's growing ranks of university students.
Each year, more than seven million first-year students in 2,000 universities across China take part in military training.
But as China's post-1990's generation comes of age - coddled by indulgent parents from the new middle class and nurtured by the Internet - many have begun to question whether they can survive the rigorous exercise and strict discipline of military training.
Social pundits have long labeled the current generation of young people, particularly freshmen born after 1995, as immature and unfit. In China's exam-centered education system, long hours of study have left little room for socializing or sports, while children increasingly turn to food and computer games to relax and de-stress.
Everyone is working together, sweating together, all for a common goal. It helps students develop a sense of togetherness and a sense of honour.
- Ba Lele, Shandong Normal University student
The results of such an upbringing are displayed each fall, as a new class of students begins military training. In recent years local media have reported growing numbers of students overcome by heatstroke and exhaustion on the training ground.
At the prestigious Peking University, 3,500 students were treated at the school's clinic over two weeks of training last year, according to the official China Youth Daily.
The university was quick to dispute the report, claiming only half as many students actually sought medical treatment, but similar anecdotes from campuses across China have underlined the problem of students' declining physical fitness.
This lingering concern was given a new sense of urgency last winter, when two university students died after racing in a marathon in the southern city of Guangzhou. Only two weeks later, two more students died in separate sports-related incidents in Shanghai.
Overdoing it?
A growing number of schools are adapting to the apparent physical limitations of the young generation. In 2011, more than 13 universities in eastern Shandong province revised their military training programmes. More strenuous exercises were done away with, and the total length of training was shortened, in some cases to as little as six days.
The country's Ministry of Education states the purpose of the training is to "enhance students' sense of national defense and national security awareness", as well as "strengthen students' sense of organisational discipline" and "develop a spirit of hard work and struggle".
"Everyone is working together, sweating together, all for a common goal," said Ba Lele, a student at Shandong Normal University in eastern China. "It helps students develop a sense of togetherness and a sense of honour."
Together with her classmates, Ba spent her training in green military fatigues, marching, jogging, and standing at attention under the watchful gaze of drill instructors from the People's Liberation Army. Off the parade ground, she and her classmates learned to sing patriotic songs and listened to lectures from army instructors.
Students undergo similar regimens in universities across China, typically lasting from two weeks to one month, held before they begin their freshman year. In most cases, little to no time is spent in actual combat training. Discipline and fitness, rather than actual preparation for battle, are the main focus.
However, many in China are starting to doubt whether military training is still capable of strengthening students' bodies and minds, and whether or not students are able to meet the challenge.
A handful of universities in the southern provinces of Guangdong and Fujian have moved their training periods from the hot and humid summer to the milder winter months.
Parental concern
Concessions have also been made for students' anxious, doting parents. At Shanghai's Jiaotong University, moms and dads can follow a Twitter-like microblog reporting daily temperatures at the school's training ground, or call a university hotline to inquire about their child's health condition.
For those who remain concerned, or possibly sceptical, an on-site photographer is available to take a photo of their child and email it to parents.
But as the once-gruelling routines are scaled back and softened, some have begun to ask whether military training has any real value for students today.
Xiong Bingqi, deputy director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said in an interview with the Beijing Evening News that military training had little real impact on students' physical or moral development.
"Many students have gone through military training, but in their ordinary student life they still cheat on tests, arrive late or skip class," Xiong wrote. "This tells us that discipline is not something that can be developed in such a short period of time."
It would be better if students could choose. You could decide whether to go or not to go.
- Lu Yang, Jinan University student
Students, too, are ambivalent about the practical use of military training, but some noted the physical exercise was beneficial.
"The strenuous drills definitely put students in better physical shape," recalled Ba, now in her third year of university. "In my first semester of freshman year, I didn't get sick once."
Long-term gain?
But in the long term, she said, the impact starts to diminish. "There's a real enthusiasm, but it doesn't last long. Over time, you just forget those feelings. It just becomes a pleasant memory."
In poll conducted last year by the popular microblogging website Sina Weibo, more than 70 percent of respondents said military training should be abolished. Others have suggested making the training optional, the equivalent of an elective course.
"It would be better if students could choose," said Lu Yang, a student a Jinan University. "You could decide whether to go or not to go."
For those who were willing, she suggested a more complete programme similar to that undergone by China's actual soldiers. "They could take us to an army camp to train for a month. This is the only way to give students a real experience."
But China's government has made it clear that mandatory military training is here to stay. Last January, a document jointly issued by eight central ministries reaffirmed that military training was required for all university students, and ruled the training period could be no shorter than 14 days.
Some schools have already begun to reform their training with more pragmatic disciplines.
Beijing's city government announced last year that disaster relief and first aid courses would be added to military training in all of the capital's universities. This year, colleges in the nearby port city of Tianjin included lessons in fire safety.

Abstract: We aimed to identify regional centres of plant biodiversity in South Australia, a sub-continental land area of 983,482 km2, by mapping a suite of metrics. Broad-brush conservation issues associated with the centres were mapped, specifically climate sensitivity, exposure to habitat fragmentation, introduced species and altered fire regimes. We compiled 727,417 plant species records from plot-based field surveys and herbarium records and mapped the following: species richness (all species; South Australian endemics; conservation-dependent species; introduced species); georeferenced weighted endemism, phylogenetic diversity, georeferenced phylogenetic endemism; and measures of beta diversity at local and state-wide scales. Associated conservation issues mapped were: climate sensitivity measured via ordination and non-linear modelling; habitat fragmentation represented by the proportion of remnant vegetation within a moving window; fire prone landscapes assessed using fire history records; invasive species assessed through diversity metrics, species distribution and literature. Compared to plots, herbarium data had higher spatial and taxonomic coverage but records were more biased towards major transport corridors. Beta diversity was influenced by sampling intensity and scale of comparison. We identified six centres of high plant biodiversity for South Australia: Western Kangaroo Island; Southern Mount Lofty Ranges; Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara lands; Southern Flinders Ranges; Southern Eyre Peninsula; Lower South East. Species composition in the arid-mediterranean ecotone was the most climate sensitive. Fragmentation mapping highlighted the dichotomy between extensive land-use and high remnancy in the north and intensive land-use and low remnancy in the south. Invasive species were most species rich in agricultural areas close to population centres. Fire mapping revealed large variation in frequency across the state. Biodiversity scores were not always congruent between metrics or datasets, notably for categorical endemism to South Australia versus georeferenced weighted endemism, justifying diverse approaches and cautious interpretation. The study could be extended to high resolution assessments of biodiversity centres and cost:benefit analysis for interventions. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Resistance to water flow in the sorghum plant Meyer, W.S. Ritchie, J.T. http://hdl.handle.net/2440/98181 2016-04-04T05:48:34Z 1980-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Resistance to water flow in the sorghum plant Author: Meyer, W.S.; Ritchie, J.T. Abstract: Knowledge of the location and magnitude of the resistance to water flow in a plant is fundamental for describing whole plant response to water stress. The reported magnitudes of these resistances vary widely, principally because of the difficulty of measuring water potential within the plant. A number of interrelated experiments are described in which the water potential of a covered, nontranspiring leaf attached to a transpiring sorghum plant (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) was used as a measure of the potential at the root-shoot junction. This allowed a descriptive evaluation of plant resistance to be made.The water potentials of a covered, nontranspiring leaf and a nonabsorbing root in solution, both attached to an otherwise actively transpiring and absorbing plant, were found to be similar. This supported the hypothesis that covered leaf water potential was equilibrating at a point shared by the vascular connections of both leaves and roots, i.e. the nodal complex of the root-shoot junction or crown. The difference in potential between a covered and exposed leaf together with calculated individual leaf transpiration rates were used to evaluate the resistance between the plant crown and the exposed leaf lamina called the connection resistance. There was an apparent decrease in the connection resistance as the transpiration rate increased; this is qualitatively explained as plant capacitance.Assuming that the covered leaf water potential was equal to that in the root xylem at the point of water absorption in the experimental plants with relatively short root axes, calculated radial root resistances were strongly dependent on the transpiration rate. For plants with moderate to high transpiration rates the roots had a slightly larger resistance than the shoots. 1980-01-01T00:00:00Z Ocean acidification boosts larval fish development but reduces the window of opportunity for successful settlement Rossi, T.

Abstract: Locating appropriate settlement habitat is a crucial step in the life cycle of most benthic marine animals. In marine fish, this step involves the use of multiple senses, including audition, olfaction and vision. To date, most investigations of larval fish audition focus on the hearing thresholds to various frequencies of sounds without testing an ecological response to such sounds. Identifying responses to biologically relevant sounds at the development stage in which orientation is most relevant is fundamental. We tested for the existence of ontogenetic windows of reception to sounds that could act as orientation cues with a focus on vulnerability to alteration by human impacts. Here we show that larvae of a catadromous fish species (barramundi, Lates calcarifer) were attracted towards sounds from settlement habitat during a surprisingly short ontogenetic window of approximately 3 days. Yet, this auditory preference was reversed in larvae reared under end-of-century levels of elevated CO₂, such that larvae are repelled from cues of settlement habitat. These future conditions also reduced the swimming speeds and heightened the anxiety levels of barramundi. Unexpectedly, an acceleration of development and onset of metamorphosis caused by elevated CO₂ were not accompanied by the earlier onset of attraction towards habitat sounds. This mismatch between ontogenetic development and the timing of orientation behaviour may reduce the ability of larvae to locate habitat or lead to settlement in unsuitable habitats. The misinterpretation of key orientation cues can have implications for population replenishment, which are only exacerbated when ontogenetic development decouples from the specific behaviours required for location of settlement habitats. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z

AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Helio Castroneves has a sore neck. His shoulder blades burn, his back aches and his hips tight.
That energetic smile? Back and bigger than ever.
After months of mental anguish from a grueling tax evasion trial, Castroneves is thrilled to be back to racing -- even if it does smart a little.
"I'm a little tired, but it's a very good feeling of tired," Castroneves said Tuesday from his office in Coral Gables, Fla. "It was physical. For the first time in a long time it was physical, not just mental. It's the best feeling in the world."
Castroneves was acquitted of tax evasion charges on Friday, ending a six-month ordeal that left him mentally exhausted. Less than 24 hours after avoiding what could have been a six-year prison term, the popular Brazilian driver was 3,000 miles away at the Grand Prix of Long Beach, back in the comforting cocoon of his No. 3 Team Penske IndyCar.
Time to recover, maybe reflect on what happened? Castroneves could do that later. He couldn't wait to get back to the track, with his team and friends again.
"To be back in racing so fast, people were like are you sure you're able to do that?" he said. "Guys, you don't understand. The only place I want to be right now is racing. The only place I want to be is with my team. That's me. That's what I did since I was 11 years old. I just missed it so much."
Once Castroneves got back on the track, it was as if he never left.
Sure, it was a bit of an adjustment to get the feel for the car; working out the braking points, when to downshift, remembering the nuances of the track. He figured it out quickly, though, qualifying eighth despite a crash that left him with a headache on Saturday, finishing seventh at the race on Sunday.
"It took a little while. It's like when you play tennis for a while and you stop: the ball seems to come a little faster to you," Castroneves said. "It was a lot of little things coming back slowly."
Now that his whirlwind weekend is over, Castroneves has had time to reflect on what happened.
The six months away from racing were difficult, the seven weeks in court agonizing. The happy-go-lucky guy everyone knew went into a shell during the trial, rarely flashing that megawatt smile that made him one of IndyCar's most popular drivers and helped him win over a new crop of fans from "Dancing With the Stars." Facing an uncertain future, possibly jail time, Castroneves had no reason to smile.
What kept him going, from withdrawing completely, was the support he received from all over the world.
While Castroneves refused to read anything on the Internet about himself or racing -- it was too depressing -- e-mails poured in and fans flooded his Web site and Facebook page with well wishes, bible verses, personal prayers. There were thousands in all, each one building moral support that carried Castroneves through the most difficult stretch of his life.
"The only thing that kept my mind off everything and working right was those fans," he said. "It was so beautiful. I will never forget it. It was incredible. People sometimes don't realize that it helps a lot. I'm so glad I have fans like this."
Now that the trial is over, Castroneves can finally put his focus back on racing, look toward a more certain future.
The two-time Indianapolis 500 champion returned home to Florida on Monday evening and immediately started figuring out the rest of his season, starting with this week's race at Kansas Speedway -- his first oval race since winning at Chicago last September. He'll race at Indy next month and compete in as many races as he can in hopes of winning his first IRL season championship.
Whatever happens from here, Castroneves figures he can handle it.
"When the car is going to loose now, I think I'm going to be like, I can do this," Castroneves said. "If I can handle the seven weeks of the trial, I can probably handle for a few laps a loose car. Definitely, I'm ready for that situation."

New York, NYUSA
August 1, 2010
I'm not a big sports player; I'll be honest. I do cheer often, though. I walk everywhere, do yoga a few times a week, and *spin*. Looking to keep active on weekends.
I'm an avid traveler. I've surved the Trans-Labrador Highway, which isn't paved, hiking among the hill tribes in Thailand, and 'did some time' in Bolivia hiked from Copacabana to Isle de la Sol, actually to Yampupata where we hired a boat. This year will take me skiing in Keystone, CO, to Cuba, Spain, and who knows where else....
I don't know if this is crazy, but I was very happily, impressed to discover solar panels / energy in the hill tribes of Thailand.
No answer yet
I've lived in NYC for more than ten years, now, and often think of moving to Portland, OR. I love to travel, hike, and take photographs.
It's a nice group of people. I like that the groups are kept fairly small so you get to know everyone. Looking forward to the next!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Neoteros At Westin level! Together with my family I spent two nights at this hotel and used it as a base to visit Toronto. That was at a time an advantage and a limit. The advantage was that the hotel was a good choice to visit the city. The limit was that while visiting the city I could not enjoy all the impressive facilities granted by the hotel, i.e. gym, pool, tennis courts, etc. Incredibily nice the personnel at the reception, always smiling, supportive, effective. Delicious the buffet breakfast. As a Platinum, I got all the possible recognition they could grant me with. The only disappointment was that during the day between the two nights none cleaned the room up. Unusual for a hotel of such a level. Yet, I would suggest Westin Prince to all those visiting Toronto.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Montrealeric weeken in Toronto While driving in from Montreal, my 2 year old vomited. so you can imagine when we finally arrived we were elated. The check in person was able to make arrangements to accommodate my gold status and upgrade us to a corner room. THANK YOU!!!!!! We go to our room and realized that our son decided to unpacked his clothing before we left Montreal. staff was great in steering us to the nearest Joe Fresh Store. They also gave our 2 yr old a welcome kit. he loved it. Breakfast buffet was a hit for him as well. The only down side is the pool is not heated. after 15 mis in the pool, my son's lips turned blue. location is great. i usually stay downtown, i think i will be staying here from now on. if the price is right.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Shaggy Fine hotel except for dining room Very friendly hotel with good rooms. The dining room is mediocre at best. The menu states that you should let the staff know if you would like a different preparation. Wow! You can't even get hash brown potatoes at breakfast if you request them. The dining menu tries to be elegant and up to date, but doesn't even meet good normal food standards. August 1, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jacqui excellent staff Great location. Excellent staff who looked after any complaints/requests efficiently and with a smile. Would prefer a green choice of having beds made but not fresh linens/towels over the 3 days instead of an all or nothing option.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jogri13 Great value ! We had a great stay at the Westin Hotel (me, my spouse, papi, mami and my 2 daughters). May be the noise of the air-conditioner is a little bit high and disturbed my sleep twice, but really a good place. I enjoyed staying there ! July 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by pigpen1956 Pleasant but underwhelming We had a very pleasant stay. Service was good. Hotel room was clean and functional, but somewhat drab for a Westin. Door to balcony could only open a few inches with great effort, and after opening it was impossible to close. July 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by BigBillFromNY Positives vs. negatives Beautiful highrise hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. Superior amenities, specifically a beautiful outdoor heated pool, indoor jacuzzi/hot tub, outdoor tennis courts, shuffleboard, and portable basketball hoop, well equipped indoor exercise room. Perfect blend of city/suburban/business/pleasure destination for those visiting the Greater Toronto area. Tasty and bountiful Sunday brunch. Comfortable, well-decorated, modern rooms with double shower-heads and 42 inch TVs. Upon my arrival the young lady at the front desk was kind enough to provide us a complimentary upgrade to a 20th floor corner room with a view of both the Toronto and Mississauga skylines. As to negatives... allow me to offer hopefully constructive criticism. The "green" policy overdoes it. In Canada Westin offers full service maid service or NO service (except upon specific request). If guests choose "the green option" of no service, a $5 hotel voucher is given for each night (save check-out) maid service isn't required. I prefer the American way where "green" means the beds are made (non-dirty sheets/linens "straightened" - beds made), the trash is dumped, the room is straightened, and towels left on the floor as "soiled" are replaced but re-hung "used" towels aren't. Basically, I fear that it's the staff that bears the brunt of Canadian "green" practices. No maid service means fewer maids. On the other hand, "straightening" maid service provides employment and tips. Other constructive criticism: This Westin seems to keep the pool temp at around 78 degrees (one day it was only 75 degrees) which in my opinion is a bit too chilly. Indeed, most adults at the pool seemed to think so too. I'd set the temp to 80 degrees... perhaps even 82 degrees. At a bare minimum I'd "survey" guests on this issue. A questionnaire at the "club" attendant's desk would do the trick. Also, while I personally enjoy a "cooler" hot tub, my wife was disappointed to find the hot tube temp set at only 95 degrees... one day 90 degrees... another day 100 degrees. Usually hot tubs are set at what... 105 degrees... 110 degrees? Finally, the bed lamp in "our" room (2014) needs a new lampshade. The one presently in the room has a hole on the back side, a tear on the front side. (Oops! Almost forgot! One more thing... you might consider either lowering the price of Sunday brunch to $35 (rather than $44 per person) or, make it a "champagne" brunch... or at least include one complementary cocktail for each brunch guest.) Bottom line, though I'd give the Westin Prince a solid 4.5 out of 5 rating. I'd stay there again. I'd recommend them. July 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mosport This was a very pleasant hotel I liked the restful and neutral interior. The bed was very comfy. iPod or iPhone dock, dual shower head, Starbucks coffee, free cold water at the entrance and the view overlooking the firework made it a very pleasant hotel. July 5, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ben79 Stunning Lobby, but thats where it stops. The hotel is appealing when the lobby is considered. But once you enter the rooms that is where everything stops. The room that we stayed in at this hotel is in dire need of either a renovation or lots of touch ups. Paint peeling in the washroom, grimmy feeling carpets, "balcony" that you can not go on to littered with bird droppings and cigarette butts. Overall not pleased with the room when compared to the price. July 5, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by WearyWanderer A gem of a place with a few irrirants One of the better hotels I've had the pleasure of staying in. Great view with a balcony which really doesn't open out. An excellent setting and a neat layout make sit one of my favourite business hotels... ... except the internet conection speeds are abyssmal, making anything more than browsing and email arduous. And the chairs... its wooden, too low for the desk and can in no way be adjusted. I stay at the Westin when I'm travelling on business and this was not condusive for work June 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by BOB9221 BOB'Z REVIEW I LOVE THE PRINCE HOTEL BECAUSE YOU GUYS TAKE SUCH GOOD CARE OF US: ESPECIALLY: KEVIN, ALEX, PETER, STEVE, ERNIE, ALADIN, AND OF COURSE TANIA. June 24, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Giuspas Nice hotel The Westin Prince is a nice hotel next to the airport. The staff is helpful and kind. The restaurant is very good June 18, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by WGW27 Should include internet in suite. I was very suprised that the Westin still charges for WiFi use in the suite. I have travelled a lot the past 3 years in Europe, Canada and the US and have found that it is now standard to be offered complimentary in all hotels from modest to five star . For the amount of time I needed it, it did not make sense to pay the fees being charged but at the same time it was very inconvenient to always have to go downstairs. This will definately influence my decision to stay here again. June 11, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Todd51 Not what I expected for the price. Maybe the price is on par for the Toronto area, but I thought is was high for its location in the city. Also I didn't see any means of transportation to and from the air port besides rental car or taxi. I ate breakfast there one day and it was very good, but I thought it pricey for a breakfast. Internet in the room "for a fee"? McDonnalds around here has free WiFi. The stay was pleasant and the staff outstanding. Good thing my bed at home isn't as comfortable as the ones in the room there, I'd never make it to work on time. May 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Travelbug8 Best hotel staff in North America The staff at the Westin Prince are the gold standard for all other hotels (including some Starwood Properties) to achieve. Service is prompt, friendly and, personable. When you are away from home, to have a hotel staff member remember you from 2+ years ago, goes a long way to providing "comfort". Keep up the great work. Only suggestion I would make is that the lighting in the rooms is not bright enough. April 30, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by pc8488 Average rooms The lobby area is very nice but once you get to your room this hotel is average at best. This was the third Westiin I had stayed at this week and it was my least favorite. As a Platinum member, I would have expected to be upgraded. The desk area in the room is very large but the bathroom is very small, especially the shower. April 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jacko Great location and a home like feel. We stay here quite often and have always enjoyed our stay. The staff are quite open, friendly and accomodating. The workout facility is well equipped and above what one would normally find at a hotel centre. The location of the hotel is fantastic being close to the downtown but not in the downtown. The 401 and DVP are a block away for easy access to anywhere you want to go. Things are quiet around the hotel and going for a walk or run is an easy option. The restaurant has a great setting with good service and food. The pool is seasonal (indoor whirlpool though) and is kept clean and inviting. A great place to stay and would highly recommend a stay here. April 11, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by LandedSPG Average at best I stayed here for three nights around July of 2008 so my review is based on the standards/experience I had at that time. Things could have gotten better or worse since those days. Simply put; no lounge, no upgrade, uninspired hotel design, kinda pricey and terrible location. Why would you stay here? The staff interaction was very minimal, I had nothing to ask them once they outlined how very little the hotel offers PLATs and the hotel is close to nothing (compared to downtown hotels) so you really needed no guidance either. I never felt like I was at a Westin. This hotel meets but does not exceed the category 3 standards on almost every category and with respect to location alone should be downgraded to category 2.

11 year old takes out international sailing crown in Miami
by Annette Wadley on 19 Nov 2012
Kristen Wadley is now a world champion Australian sailor after taking out the under 13 girl's crown in sunny Miami, USA this month. Kristen is pictured here at her beloved Lake Tinaroo. Annette Wadley
There certainly aren't many 11 year olds that can call themselves a World Champion. After all the hard work and training at Lake Tinaroo North Queensland, Kristen Wadley has grabbed her first world sailing title at the Miami Yacht Club USA. Kristen took out the O'pen Bic World Cup Championship's Under 13 Girl's Division earlier this month.
Her father and coach, Roger Wadley said he could not be any prouder of his daughter. 'It was so emotionally draining for me to watch her and see her come over the line first in a few of her races' he said. 'This is such an amazing achievement to be recognised on the world stage'.
Kristen was one of three Australians who competed at the world event in a fleet of over one hundred sailors from seventeen countries. She made a lot of new friends that she hopes to see again when she defends her title at next year's world Championship in Italy.
The lead up to the world titles saw Kristen win Round One of the New South Wales O'pen Cup State Titles at Avalon Sailing Club in Sydney, winning four of the five races. She also had the unforgettable experience of meeting Olympic Gold Medallist, Mathew Belcher at a Queensland youth training camp just prior to the NSW cup. Mat talked at length with Kristen as to what's required to compete at an Olympic level. This has fueled Kristen's ultimate goal of representing her country at a future Olympics.
Last weekend, Kristen managed an incredible clean sweep of the results, placing first in all twelve races in the Queensland O'pen Cup State Titles held at Tinaroo, North Queensland. The competition was tough, but after the experience of the World Titles, Kristen proved unbeatable in any wind condition thrown at her. It was great to see the twenty sailors show how much fun the O'pen Bics are to sail.

Tell me now
How does it feel to see you're talking with your Soul?
Your dig within
Tell me now
Is this the truth you always have been searching for?
Was it worth the price?
Through the veils of human uncertainty
Reside the nameless words we're not allowed to know
Would this veil break?
That's where your mind has gone
A trip with no return
Through the meaning of what we call... Life

The commute to Alexandria would be a toss-up, to say the least. The problem you will be running into is traveling down I-66 as it becomes HOV-only after the I-495 interchange. I do agree that you could consider the VRE options but the cost of the monthly pass is rather high.
Do you, absolutely, have your heart set on Bristow, VA? You may want to consider homes that are closer to the Metro stations or, even, something past the blue line. Woodbridge area offers commuter lots and is about 15 miles away from the blue line. The prices of real estate drop significantly as real estate in Prince William County is much cheaper than it is in Fairfax County (Springfield, Lorton area).
Another option for you to look into is GWRideConnect and while I have not used it personally, I have heard great reviews about the program. http://www.gwrideconnect.org/transit-options/

Duodenal carcinoids are rare, and there is no consensus on the optimal extent of surgical treatment.[1] In a retrospective review of 24 patients with a pathologic diagnosis of duodenal carcinoid tumor, most tumors (89%) measured smaller than 2 cm in diameter, and most (85%) were limited to the mucosa or submucosa. Lymph node metastases were identified in surgical specimens in 7 (54%) of 13 patients in whom lymph nodes were examined, including 2 patients with tumors smaller than 1 cm, which were limited to the submucosa. At a mean follow-up of 46 months, the disease-specific survival rate was 100%, and only 2 patients had recurrences in regional lymph nodes. No patient was reported to have distant metastases or the carcinoid syndrome.[1][Level of evidence: 3iiB] The authors of this study concluded that, although duodenal carcinoids are indolent, the presence of regional lymph node metastases cannot be predicted reliably on the basis of tumor size or depth of invasion, and their impact on survival is unclear.
In general, endoscopic excision of primary duodenal carcinoids appears to be most appropriate for tumors smaller than 1 cm.[1] Duodenal carcinoids smaller than 2 cm may be excised locally; for tumors between 1 cm and 2 cm, complete resection is ensured by operative full-thickness excision.[1,2] Follow-up endoscopy is indicated. Tumors larger than 1 cm may be difficult to remove completely endoscopically and should be evaluated with endoscopic ultrasonography before endoscopic resection is attempted because of their potential to invade beyond the submucosa.[3]

Hydrazine sulfate is a chemical compound that has been studied as a treatment for cancer and certain side effects caused by cancer (see Question 1). Hydrazine sulfate may block the tumor from taking in glucose, which is a type of sugar that tumor cells need to grow (see Question 3). In randomized clinical trials (a type of research study), hydrazine sulfate did not make tumors shrink or go away. In some randomized trials, however, hydrazine sulfate was reported to be helpful in treating...
Appropriate management of tumors larger than 2 cm can be problematic.[2] However, in general, these tumors can be treated with operative full-thickness excision and regional lymphadenectomy. Lymphadenectomy is performed even in the face of negative preoperative imaging because of the high rate of lymph node metastasis for these tumors.[1]
In addition, some authors recommend that for tumors larger than 2 cm, a regional lymphadenectomy includes the lymph nodes in the following locations:

McCOOK, Nebraska -- Eugene Teddy Phillips, 66, passed away Monday (Jan. 3, 2011), at his home in McCook after a long battle with a brain stem aneurysm.
Gene was born on May 13, 1944, in Ogden, Utah to Ellsworth and Sadie Mae (Place) Philips. He graduated from Carlin High School in Carlin, Nevada in 1962.
He was united in marriage to Sandy White. From this union they had three children, Shawn, Richard and Sherry. During this time, Gene worked in the gold mines for Duval Corporation and Cortez Gold Mines as a truck driver, engineer and first responder. He later married Catherine Lehmann who was affected with multiple sclerosis. He loved and cared for Catherine and his stepdaughter, Kimberly until Catherine's death in 2002.
Gene also worked for the railroad for a short time, ran a machine shop and retired from 40 years of service with the mines in Nevada. In 2004, Gene relocated to McCook to spend time with family and was a self-employed carpenter.
Gene was well received in the community, as he was always willing to help his friends and neighbors with projects that they needed his advice and expertise.
Some of Gene's interests included fishing, hunting, painting and drawing. His love of wildlife inspired many of his paintings and drawings. Gene was also a member of the Eagles club and enjoyed calling bingo and visiting with the other members of the club.
Preceding him in death were his parents, Ellsworth and Sadie Mae Philips; his wife Catherine; and one brother, Neal Philips.
Survivors include his children, Shawn Phillips and wife, Vicky of Elko, Nevada, Richard Phillips of Elko, Sherry Marie Bobber of Pine Valley, Nevada and Kimberly and husband, James Bratten of Vacaville, California; brother, Chester Phillips of Kimberlee, Idaho; sister, Nancy Hussey of Carlin, Nevada; five grandchildren; and special friend and loving life companion, Marilynn Jezek of McCook.
Memorials may be given in his name.
Friends may send condolences to the family at 1313 E. A. Street, McCook, NE 69001.
Carpenter Breland Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
