Zipp 404 Firecrest Track Tubular - 2013 $0.00
We don't have to tell you that every effort counts on the track. In a world of quad'zillas and power outputs that dwarf any final sprint on the road circuit, your wheels need to be stiff, aerodynamic, and to the point. That's where the new Zipp 404 Firecrest Track Tubular comes in. With drag minimization on lock down, ridiculously stiff hubs, and carbon fiber rims that eat up the banks, the 404 Firecrest Track Tubular is the natural selection for your next points match or keirin bout.
New to 2013, the 404 Track Tubular receives Zipp's outrageously aerodynamic technology, Firecrest. If you've been living on the velodrome for the past couple of years, Firecrest is Zipp's most ambitious rim shape to date. Designed to maximize speed by minimizing drag, when Firecrest is applied to the 404 Track Tubular, the rim maintains a depth of 58.0mm and a maximum width of 26.9mm. Zipp found that the design creates a more stable structure, and offers greater vertical and lateral compliance with increased control, comfort, and rigidity. While the 404 benefits from these additions, to achieve the Zipp-standard of strength and rigidity, the 404 utilizes uni-directional fibers to handle the tensile and comprehensive loading within the rim, and woven fibers in the spoke-hole areas. A woven silica-ceramic fabric and a woven carbon fabric encapsulate the upper rim and tire-mounting surfaces. The combination of fiber patterns creates a high stiffness-to-weight ratio.
A number of Zipp technologies went into making the 404 Firecrest one of the most powerful wheels in the Zipp arsenal. First, the Multi-Material Co-Molding process permanently fuses a sub-200-gram aluminum hoop to a dimpled carbon structure that acts as a leaf spring for vibration and impact. Spokes laced directly to the carbon body give you the benefit of a carbon feel and aluminum braking. Next, visco-elastic material is inserted between carbon laminates in the rim to reduce vibration by ten percent. Lastly, the dimples of the Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control (ABLC) on the curved rim section work to create a slight turbulence directly above the rim surface. This creates an artificial boundary layer that forces the laminar boundary layer towards the forward part of the rim to become turbulent. This process enables airflow to remain attached over more of the rim for a longer period of time, providing a lower level of integrated drag. The drag that ABLC creates is called skin friction drag; although it's greatly increased, pressure drag (which is ten times higher than skin friction) is decreased to make the 404 wheels faster than the competition in a wide range of conditions, not just the wind tunnel. While most wheels only enjoy minimum drag at rarely occurring yaw angles of five and ten degrees, the 404 experiences it at the real-world conditions of 10 to 20 degrees.
And knowing that life on the track is tantamount to bigger bodies performing bigger wattage efforts, Zipp outfitted the 404s with its exclusive Track Hubs. The flanges are well oversized to maximize torsional and lateral rigidity, and additionally, this idea is reinforced by 60mm spoke hole circle diameter. Each hub rolls on 15mm, stainless steel solid axles with Zipp's proprietary steel bearings. The hubs themselves are formed from Zipp's Z310.9 aluminum alloy that's used in its venerable 88/188 road hubs. Both wheels feature 28 Sapim CX-Ray spokes, with the front using a radial lace, and the rear utilizing a two-cross lacing pattern.
The Zipp 404 Firecrest Track Tubular is available as an individual wheel. The front is 100mm spaced with a 15mm axle, and the rear is 120mm spaced with a 15mm axle. Please note that these are track wheels and are not road convertible. The rear wheel accepts a standard cog and lockring (1.37x24tpi).

Today, Singapore is the second most densely populated country on the planet (after only Monaco,) with a population of over five million in 435 square miles.
Ranging from the quaint—Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong urging Singaporeans to procreate—to the ascetic—a hard-line legal system where capital punishment is allowed—the government blankets the city-state. Occasionally, it is difficult to decipher whether its denizens are living in a contemporary "1984," which has managed to convince the rest of the world of its superiority, or whether an administration can really be so cohesive and so responsive that the public's universal woes are eradicated.
Most executives across the pharmaceutical industry agree—Singapore does not represent any question marks in the future. Furthermore, Singapore's location is ideal for reaching markets east, west, north and south, which form the powerhouse that is Asia Pacific.

Duca di Martina Museum - Naples
The splendid holdings on the hill of Vomero were acquired by Ferdinand I of Bourbon as a summer residence for the Duchess of Floridia Lucia Migliaccio, his second morganatic wife.
Thus was born the exquisitely refined neoclassical villa, designed by the Tuscan architect Antonio Piccolini.
The villa and the surrounding parks were acquired by the state in 1919 and since 1927 the Ceramics Museum of the Duke of Martina has been housed here, which contains one of the most prestigious collections of Oriental and European decorative art.
The collection, which belonged to Duke Placido de Sangro di Martina, includes approximately six thousand objects that were produced by the "minor" arts: glassware, ivory, amber, lacquer, coral, tortoiseshell, enamels; porcelains and majolica are the most sighificant nucleus.
The Duke was a sophisticated collector and fervent connoisseur of applied arts, and purchased items in the antiques fairs of the European capitals from the 1800s onwards.
When he died the collection was inherited by his nephew Count Placido dei Marsi, who donated it the city of Naples in 1911.
In 1978 the collection was further enhanced by Riccardo de Sangro, heir to Martina dukedom, who left the Museum a further six hundred items including porcelain, majolica and furniture, that had also been part of Placido de Sangro's original collection.
The prestigious Section of Oriental Artc omprises in excess of a thousand rare items made in China or Japan, prevalently in porcelain, with some bronze, jade, lacquer and enamel.
18th century Chinese porcelain, "white and blue" or those known as the "green family", "pink or black family" depending on the dominating color of the enamel used, and numerous examples Japanese porcelain, "Kakiemon" and "Imari" styles: with one of the most significant and important collections in Italy for the high quality of the work and the richness of the products.

Nearly everyone is born with good looking skin. Its freshness is clearly visible, especially since there hasn't been any exposure to the harshness of the sun or skin care formulations of poor quality. Unfortunately, despite its task of protecting your body from harm and infection, the skin is quite delicate in nature, especially when it has gone through some type of medical procedure that weakens its vitality or creates sensitivity. Along with the need to restore the health of sensitized skin comes the job of minimizing the symptoms associated with premature aging. Created by Dr. Luigi and Dr. Barbara Polla, the formulations of Alchimie Forever are designed to deliver optimal results for the rejuvenation of skin.
See our Q&A with Ada Polla, Founder of Alchimie Forever.
Offering treatments for immediate and long-term issues experienced by the skin, Alchimie Forever takes full advantage of a selection of potent botanicals blended with careful precision to provide formulations that are highly effective. Healing sensitized skin with calming capabilities, each of these solutions offers gentle remedies that are kind to the skin. Not only does Alchimie Forever create brighter complexions, but its creamy concoctions provide anti-aging capabilities for the skin.
The Alchimie Forever line offers products formulated both to restore sensitive post-procedure skin as well as to address those frustrating and stubborn badges of aging. The brand grew out of the groundbreaking Forever Laser Institute, a day spa founded by dermatologist Dr. Luigi Polla and biomedical specialist Dr. Barbara Polla in 1997. Decades of their rigorous research are reflected in every single Alchimie Forever mixture. One of the company's defining principles is that daily skincare should not be approached as an annoyance but rather as a fulfilling practice.
The antioxidant-anchored Alchimie Forever formulas, richly imbued with botanical extracts, tend to the basic needs of your skin while imparting healing and protective properties that rehabilitate and rejuvenate its structure to promote a more youthful look and feel.
Among the offerings are the Alchimie Forever Gentle Refining Scrub, a luxuriant exfoliator that bolsters tone and texture by stripping away dulling layers of dead skin and other impurities. Following a close shave, reach for the Alchimie Forever Antioxidant Skin Repair Gel, which can help with such commonplace shaving complications as razor burn and ingrown hairs with soothing and softening botanicals.
Each Alchimie Forever product is a well-rounded and comprehensive one, working to repair and protect against damage while supplying the skin with vital nourishment.

Winston-Salem, NC -- Instead of fun and games, it's a different spin on the fair. Police - arresting a sex offender on the job as a ride operator at the Oklahoma State Fair. Fair-going families didn't know William Chase was a registered sex offender. If police hadn't been tipped of this offender would've been in close proximity to kids every night.
"Why aren't they being screened better? Have our kids protected?" Oklahoman mom Laura Sommers asked.
North Carolina parents may be wondering the same thing about their midways and fairgrounds.
2 Wants To Know discovered no state law requires fairs run criminal background checks on employees. But Dixie Classic Fair Director David Sparks says every single employee working the Winston-Salem-based fair is screened anyway.
"It's as safe as any large event that they take them to, any festival in the area. In fact, it may be safer," Sparks said.
We checked with all the fairs around the area. Only a few have gotten back to us. Here's what we know:
The State Fair does not run background checks on the temporary fair workers like ticket sellers and exhibit hostesses. The fair relies on these people to volunteer their criminal history on the employment application. The company that runs the State Fair's rides hasn't released their policy yet.
At the Stokes County Ag Show only carnival workers are screened. The fair workers are volunteers and aren't screened. And the vendors, described as locals, are not screened either.
So we turned to an industry insider. John Strates heads Strates Shows, which runs the carnival for the Dixie Classic Fair. He said even if the fairs don't screen most carnival companies do. He says Background checks and drug tests help events like the Dixie Classic get good workers and protect the public.
"It's a family run show. My grandfather started it, and I'm here on the ground now. We just pretty much try to do the right thing," Strates said.
But background checks aren't fool proof. The Oklahoma company that hired the arrested ride operator required all employees be checked. They're still investigating what went wrong.
So what can you as a parent? Piedmont Parent send over the follow hints for keeping kids safe at the fair:
Getting lost
Older kids should use a buddy system and make a plan of where to meet if you get separated. With younger kids, label their clothing, and make sure they know to identify what a police officer looks like - they need to know which adults are "safe" to approach if they get lost. Also Avoid the first night - it's the busiest night so you are more likely to get lost then.
Avoiding illness
Fair food - it's fun to try that deep-fried snickers and oreos but be sure to pace yourself. Wash hands thoroughly after visiting the petting zoo area - they can sometimes carry E.Coli which is deadly.
Avoiding accidents
Read the rules of the rides. Stay on marked pathways. Don't go behind the tents or in unauthorized areas.

AUBURN, Wash. (June 28, 2013) – Ronda Rocks rewarded her backers Friday with a 2 ½-length victory in the $9,975 Cascade Coffee Purse for older fillies and mares at Emerald Downs.
Ridden by Isaias Enriquez, Ronda Rocks ran six furlongs in 1:11.61 and paid $5, $3.40 and $2.10. Frank Lucarelli is the trainer and co-owner with David Taylor of Seattle.
For Enriquez, it was his second win of the night—the 15th time he's had at least two wins this season—and gave him a 46-44 lead over defending champion Juan Gutierrez in the jockeys' standings.
Lucarelli also had two wins, and the two time defending training champion climbed into third place in the trainers' standings with 16 wins.
A 4-year-old Kentucky-bred filly by Rockport Harbor, Ronda Rocks is 2-0-1 in eight career starts with earnings of $20,636.
Singing Yankee, with Eliska Kubinova riding, rallied to finish second and paid $5.80 and $2.20. A Goodlawyer Will Do and Daisy Clover dead-heated for third place, both paying $2.10 for show.
A series of long shots, including 11-to-1 Wild Hoss in race four and 10-to-1 Because of You in race seven, prevailed in the $0.50 Pick 5, and the carryover to Saturday is $4,281.
NOTES: Apprentice Maggie Hardison nearly rode her first winner Friday, leading to deep stretch aboard Fantasyville in the race seven finale, but was overtaken late by Because of You ($23.80) and jockey Rocco Bowen…In a Thoroughbred racing oddity, the 4-year-old filly Mary Jeanene ran in consecutive races at Emerald Downs. That is, she ran fifth Sunday in the ninth and final race, and returned Friday to finish eighth in the opener…Incidentally winning races on consecutive days/race cards would not have been unprecedented. The Clint Roberts-trained 4-year-old filly Honky Tonk Babe won races at Yakima Meadows on September 11 and 12, 1993…Wild Hoss ($24.80) rallied to win race four and gave a surging Don Munger his fourth win in his last seven starts…Live racing continues Saturday with first post 2:15 p.m.

Is this really Boris Becker's life or an episode of Gossip Girl?
The 6-time Grand Slammer reportedly told a live audience during an appearance on the popular German variety show "Wetten dass..." that he and on-again, off-again, on-again girlfriend Sharlely Kerssenberg will be getting married on June 12 in Switzerland. The pair were dating about 4 years when the German star broke it off via text message a day before his 40th birthday in 2007. How sweet.
Last summer Boris began dating Sandy Meyer-Woelden, the 24-year old daughter of his late manager Axel Meyer-Woelden and ex-girlfriend of Tommy Haas. The couple also became engaged until Sandy ended the relationship via what? You guessed it - a text message.
The tennis legend admitted to the audience he had "taken a wrong turn" and was forgiven by Sharlely shortly after his breakup with Sandy.
Boris + Lilly, I wish you all the happiness in the world. Oh, and lots of couples, and individual, therapy. You'll need it - just sayin'.
PS - Thanks Dophe!

I mean, I'm happy (kinda) for him and Lily, but WTF? was that with Sandy a few months, or is it weeks, back??
Oh well, maybe it's got something to do with his ex-wife, Babs, getting married as well?
Men... you just cannot understand them!
He's officially gone over the edge. But what's up with her taking him back after the text break up? I'm not sure which one has the bigger issue here.ReplyDelete

Cutting government is much easier said than done
1 2 Next page >
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney got himself into a lot of trouble last year by making disparaging remarks about the so-called "47 percent" of Americans who rely on the government for their needs. Actually, that number is much higher, and without a lot of those government programs, you may as well move the country to Botswana or someplace like that, which also doesn't have indoor plumbing.

Last weekend I had a tall, beautiful columnar basil plant (courtesy of President's Choice) nestled beside my tomato plants (to help their flavour). It was almost up to my waist. Rather than let it go to seed, which hadn't happened yet thanks to my consistent pruning, I decided to make pesto.
I found an easy pesto recipe online from Whole Foods and then did a little research to see how to preserve it. The easiest way I found was to freeze it in an ice cube tray, wrap it in saran, being sure to let out all the air, and then pop the frozen cubes into a freezer bag (again, letting out all the air). I left out the cheese from the recipe because I wasn't sure how it would freeze.
Now throughout the winter, when I want to make a quick weeknight meal–say shrimp with brown rice pasta fettuccine–I can just grab a cube or two, let it thaw a little and then stir it in! No more jars of store-bought pesto required.
I'm feeling ambitious about my herb saving, so this weekend I intend to clip some tarragon, oregano, sage and thyme and dry it out. Charmian Christie wrote a great article for the site that I posted this week called 5 ways to preserve your herbs in 5 minutes. If I get the time, I might also try to create some herb-infused vinegars.

It is now in an impound lot but belonged to East Cleveland murder suspect Michael Madison. Madison has been charged with the murders of three women. He was arraigned Wednesday morning and will be back in court at 9 a.m. Aug. 6.

The bodies of the victims -- Shetisha Sheeley, Angela H. Deskins and Shirellda Terry -- were all found in the same East Cleveland neighborhood earlier this month.
Their bodies were wrapped in plastic. The medical examiner determined Deskins, 38, and Terry, 18, had been strangled. The cause of death for Sheeley, 28, could not be determined and was listed in the medical examiner's report as "homicidal violence by unspecified means."
Police are hoping someone has seen this vehicle and that, if there are more bodies to be found, that the police could pinpoint an area.

Hillsboro, MO (KSDK)- A Barnhart woman who was previously charged with forgery and stealing from the Antonia Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization has pleaded not guilty at her arraignment and will return to court in August.
Rebecca Woods; 34, is accused of writing checks from the schools PTO account to herself between January and March 2011totalling nearly $8000 without authorization or intent to reimburse the organization.
Investigators say Woods actually changes the mailing address of the account from the Antonia school, to her home address in Jefferson County.
Antonia School Principal Mark Rudanovich told News Channel 5 last September he discovered Woods had forged his signature on the checks as well as a co-signers signature on a total of six checks she had written.
Police say Woods spending the money on personal expenses, but they would not elaborate specifically on where the money was spent.

I've been working on a story and story setting recently (based on an earlier concept that was set in the West) based on light novel, anime and manga clichés, specifically shounen demographic stuff. Yamada Tarou is an ordinary teenage boy, you know the drill... The twist is that he isn't a Protagonist (with a capital P here), he's a side-character. He's a side-character in dozens, hundreds of stories, varying from vampire settings to aliens to magic to about a gazillion street fighting variations. One of his background stories is that in middle school, he, and six other class-mates, got sucked into a pretty generic Japanese-style high fantasy world, and had to defeat the evil emperor to get back, and so forth. Yamada's schtick is that he's very competent at many things by now, and he's got some stuff left over from his trip to Elysion (including: weapon use, hammer-type; alchemical crafting magic that he tries to replicate in the real world; and a magic mirror portal back to Elysion, where he's the lord / king of one of the bits that was left over).
After creating a new Aramaic-derived writing system for one of the stories that involved western demonology, I've started procrastinating with making a map for Elysion. Currently I'm stuck on the style of mountain: every other map I've made (except one) has had stylised isomountains, this one I want to have reliefs... Anyhow.
I start making maps with black on white land areas, roughly shaped with big brushes to get a general shape based on some very vague tectonics (note the SAmerica/Africa coastline thing going on between the central and eastern continents).
I then start carving out the (black has been carved out, green hasn't) coastline with my tablet. Sometimes long stretches of smooth, a bay every now and then... The important thing is that I do any carving at all, just whittling down the coastline gives it more character than just the basic shape. In GIMP, I occasionally switch between black and white (quick-key: X) to create smaller details, like small peninsulas or to fill in stuff. But, as long as you start with a big resolution and do a lot of small scale detail, it'll look pretty good.
Anyhow, now to the meat of my current stuff, the mountain relief method...
I am basically following Ascension's basic method in GIMP: choose the shape of your range, gradient fill with intelligent shapes, modify, use that as a bump map.
My twist is that I choose the shape of my range by first drawing the river system associated with it. Create a river system, choose a shape around with the lasso, then deselect all the river pixels.
I get... Ok results.
By increasing the density of rivers, the mountains start to look less artifacty and a bit more fleshy.
I'm just left wondering if I can get good enough results with this method.
Some extra info:
Projection is equirectangular, as usual.
The world is smaller than Earth, I won't bother with realistic climes.
I am still single.
Oh yeah, and the poles were done with my Hugin method (in the tutorials forum).

The first one looked great! Don't change too much. Once you add color it will look even better. Mountains are definitely the hardest part.
Might as well post this, because in lieu of working on mountains I've been inventing an elemental system. Seven elements because I had seven characters in the party.
Four material elements: Air, Wood/Blood/Life, Water, Earth
Three immaterial ones: Fire(Sun), Silver(Moon), Ink(Sky)
Fire represents change, transformation, time, creation and destruction
Silver is space, matter, and the senses
Ink is identity, language, separation and unity, distinguishing, lightning, borders, limits, differences. It's the anti-Tang (technical term) that keeps everything from merging into oneness and oblivion.
Air and Earth ascend from Silver, Wood and Water ascend from Fire. Air is space, Earth is matter, air is motion, Earth is stillness, etc. Wood is growth, Water is decay/destruction, wood is hunger, water is fulfilment, etc. These sorts of things. Ink keeps everything together and separate.
Each party member has a specific thematic element: Yamada Tarou is an alchemist, so he is Fire: he also acts as a catalyst for character development, learning etc. The Leader is Silver: light in darkness, tactical matters, home. Girl with artillery magic is Ink, girl with healing powers Wood, Tank/Bodyguard has Earth, dual-wielding damage dealer girl Water, axe-and-arrow ranger/rogue boy Air.

I like your elemental system. I'd like to see how it plays into the map. And if you don't mind, could you take a look at one of my maps called "Northern Land of Yothra?" Thank you. I'd really appreciate some feedback.
I'm using methods from Arsheesh tutorial (trying to mix them with the the mountain ridges), and I guess it should look OK when I get down to it.
What I'm really going to look forward is the colouring, because I suck at choosing good colors. The presets given in the tutorial are perfect.
Only problem is Wilbur is uncooperative with some things, probably because the map is too big + I'm running it through WINE... At one point, it just doesn't do the Paint Add operation for example. But I can fix that by simply dividing the map into bits, I guess.
Come to think of it, the texture is going to be really pinched at the poles... I need to do those separately, too.
Also gotta move that mountain chain in the southeast more to the coast, a la the Andes.

Ok, I've roughly followed Arsheesh tutorial, and it is an excellent one. Screwed up a bit with the height maps (to much fiddling with it, I guess), and the mountains that I generated weren't exactly by the book (because I got tired of waiting for the Difference Clouds to render ), but the gradient stuff was excellent.
Here's a WIP in the Ortelius Oval projection that I picked in G.Projector cuz it fit ok.
A map for a JRPG is usually different from normal story maps in that there's a lot less on them. Maybe half a dozen towns, no borders, places where you have events, etc. Elysion is thematically related, so I might just put down places relevant to the story (and, like, stuff like secret treasures)... This will be a pretty boring map, but at least I'll get it out of the way.
Further fluff to use on the map, this is the Elysian script... meant to write Japanese, Engrish and Japanese cypherlangs, the sort of thing you'd expect in a JRPG.
Natively Japanese is written with kanji (Chinese characters that represent words) and hiragana and katakana, two parallel syllabaries, where each character usually represents a minimal Japanese syllable (like A, or KI or NO), plus some extra stuff. The Elysian script is and abugida (alphasyllabary), that works differently. In an abugida, you have a set of core consonant letters, and vowels are marked with diacritics (like in abjads, like Arabic or Hebrew), except an unmarked consonant has an inherent vowel. Most South Asian scripts (like Devanagari and Thai, for more familiar examples) are abugidas because they're descended from a shared source.
So Elysian is an abugida, except mostly tooled for writing Japanese... and with a lot of diacritical marks to show where the pronunciation is different when it's a word that has been loaned into Japanese. The word "alchemist" would be transformed in Japanese into "arukemisuto", so you write out that in Elysian: A-RU-KE-MI-SU-TO, consonant+vowel pairs. Then, the RU sign gets a triple dot that means "originally no vowel", and a small underbow that means "read as an L"; similarly, SU and TO get triple dots. When you read it the Japanese way, you can ignore these diacritics, and just go "arukemisuto" (or really rather more like "arkemisto" because /u/ in Japanese often gets unvoiced and disappears), but it can also be read as "alkemist".
Hi Naeddyr, so far it's looking pretty good, except that the dark outer-shadowsurrounding the land-forms looks out of place; almost as if the land-forms were hovering above the ocean. Rather than making an outer-shadow, have you considered an outer-glow? Perhaps of a lighter hue of blue? That might help give the impression of shallow water along the coast.

New Orleans' challenge: policing 2 huge parties
NEW ORLEANS A New Orleans police force famed for its crowd control prowess is getting help from state and federal authorities as the city hosts an estimated 150,000 Super Bowl fans while preparing for the raucous buildup to Mardi Gras, which also draws thousands to the historic French Quarter and its restaurants, bars and strip clubs.
The security challenges began in earnest Friday night with the first of the city's major float-filled Mardi Gras season parades. This week, the parade schedule is on hold while the Super Bowl takes center stage. Mardi Gras preparations resume once Sunday's game is over, and the parades roll again starting Wednesday.
The city's police force of 1,200 officers is bolstered this week by more than 200 Louisiana State Police troopers and hundreds of federal authorities from several agencies.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was in town for a Wednesday news conference outlining security precautions, including Immigrations and Customs Enforcement scans of cargo shipped to the game site and Coast Guard work to assure maritime safety and security along the Mississippi River. Game-day plans will include flight restrictions in the airspace near the Superdome, pat-down searches of ticket holders and the use of dogs to sniff out contraband.
Michael Anderson, head of the FBI's New Orleans office, said no credible terrorism threats have arisen.
"This week, there is no safer place to be than the city of New Orleans," added Raymond Parmer, a special agent with ICE.
Even with all the help, the combination of Super Bowl and Mardi Gras season means New Orleans Police Department officers are working more than three weeks' worth of 12-hour days, on the lookout for everything from petty crime and public drunkenness to random gunfire and the threat of terrorism. It will be an exhausting stretch that city officials say will cost the city several million dollars in police overtime.
"If we can, we'd like to give them some time down," said police chief Ronal Serpas. "But if we can't, they know it and they'll stand up for it."
It's also a unique chance for Serpas to show off one of the strengths of a department beset by scandals involving brutality and mismanagement. City officials have carried out numerous reforms aimed at cleaning up the department, which has seen five officers convicted of civil rights violations stemming from deadly shootings of unarmed residents after Hurricane Katrina.
For years, though, crowd control has been the department's bright spot, especially during Mardi Gras revelry on the narrow streets of the nearly 300-year-old French Quarter, home to fancy restaurants and art galleries as well as sleazy bars and strip joints.
"I think the NOPD does take a particular pride in its long-standing history and long-standing demonstration that managing large crowds is something we do very well," said Serpas, who is in his third year running the department.
Shoulder-to-shoulder, alcohol-fueled crowds often spill over into the neighboring Faubourg Marigny, an increasingly popular area of music clubs and restaurants. A 15-block-long stretch of Poydras Street, linking the Superdome to the Mississippi River and the massive Harrah's Casino, is seeing increased foot traffic during sports events with the opening of more bars and restaurants in recent years. And, outside the Quarter, lavish Carnival season parades draw tens of thousands to the miles-long routes. During the final weekend of Mardi Gras, streets of the metro area can be packed with more than a million people, and more than a few will be overdoing it.
"The thing about Mardi Gras crowds is, we get this impression that some of the people may have been drinking," Serpas deadpanned.

May 31, 2016
A senior administration official says President Barack Obama on Friday will nominate Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., as his next secretary of state.
Kerry's nomination marks Obama's first move in a sweeping overhaul of his national security team heading into a second term.
If confirmed, Kerry will take the helm at the State Department from outgoing Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton. The Massachusetts senator is expected to be easily approved for the Cabinet post by his longtime Capitol Hill colleagues.
Kerry leapt to the front of Obama's list for the State Department job after U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice withdrew her name from consideration last week.
The official requested anonymity in order to discuss the announcement ahead of Obama.

FAIRFAX, Va. (WUSA) -- A Fairfax, Va. man was arrested on Wednesday for a hit and run that injured a pedestrian in June.
Thirty-five-year-old Leon Andrew D. Oliveira is accused of driving the car that was traveling east on Fairfax Boulevard at Warwick Avenue and left the roadway, hitting a 33-year-old man who was walking on the sidewalk on June 15 at 10:40 p.m. The car continued without stopping.
Police released a photo taken by cameras on the street in hopes people would provide information about the crash. After following leads, investigators identified the car and suspected driver. They met with Oliveira on Wednesday at police headquarters and placed him under arrest for felony hit and run. Oliveira's bond is set at $2500.
The pedestrian struck remains under medical treatment, say police.

Hi there!
I won't make the long story about how I feel about Oulook, so to get to the point let's say I did some search and stumble upon Zimbra. I installed it and started to try it.
I know I want to go away from Outlook but I can convince everybody. How do I get meeting request from Outlook users on my Zimbra desktop?
I know that Zimbra is ical compliant but it doesn't work quite well. I can only get meeting request from OL on Zimbra as a meeting request (means I can accept or decline it) when I first create the meeting request in OL and the forward it. If I just invite attendees even using the option "send as iCalendar" what I get in Zimbra is an empty message. I have to expressively forward it using the iCalendar format so I can receive it as a meeting request in Zimbra.
The other way around, i.e. from Zimbra to Outlook doesn't have any problem.
Any clues why I have to forward the meeting request and not just invite attendees?
Good work!

There's no Canada like French Canada. It's the best Canada in the land…
Gatineau/Quebec City, QC It is practically December, and little hope remains for NHL hockey this season, and I'm kind of OK with that. This current work stoppage is so ridiculous that it HAS to be a conspiracy. Is the League trying to relocate critical clubs by blaming the aftermath of another Lockout? Is there some sort of undetectable performance enhancing drug that they have in the works? Are they trying to make Euro NHL a reality by forcing players to seek work across the pond, and, thus, providing the locals with a sample of what could be? Who knows? But believing even the most outlandish conspiracy theories actually makes more sense than what the truth appears to be. The NHL has really done it this time. I can't wait to see how many fans they lose this time around. I for one have vowed that I will not pay for an NHL game or merchandise for the remainder of the 2012-13 season (at least). Even if there is NHL hockey come December 15, I won't be investing my money in it. I haven't decided what my scruples will be regarding free tickets, but we shall see if/when the season actually gets off the ground, of course.
Speaking of being locked out, I have continued my exploration of new hockey arenas despite the fact that the NHL can't be a part of it. I had high hopes of making Arena #60 a memorable one, and I was planning to give that honour to the MTS Centre and the Winnipeg Jets. Alas, this could not be, so I tried to find another way to do something different for the big 6-0, and decided that exploring a new league was the only way to celebrate my 60th with style. Naturally, I turned my attention to the neighbouring Canadian Hockey League feeder, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
It seems crazy that I waited so long to head to the QMJHL since teams like the Gatineau Olympiques are located mere minutes away from the Ottawa 67's of the OHL in their temporary home at Scotiabank Place. The home of the Olympiques was definitely not as spiffy as an NHL barn, and it is definitely in need of a makeover. That being said Arena Robert Guertin has the best arena poutine I've ever had! It's crazy how you cross that bridge from Ottawa into Quebec, and the poutine is just instantly superior! It is also interesting that once you drive over that bridge that everything is immediately in French! I don't know, maybe I was expecting Gatineau to be a transitional zone, but I was definitely wrong. The thing I found most amusing was that they knew by looking at me that I was an Anglophone. I remember going up to the bar for my usual in-game Caesar, and before I even said anything, the bartender just immediately switched to English. It's like I never left the Asia League! Of course, the deeper you go into Quebec, the less English you encounter, and little did I know when I scheduled my appearance in Gatineau for the Olympiques tilt with the Foreurs, that I would be taking a trip to beautiful Quebec City a couple weeks later while the Remparts were hosting the Sherbrooke Phoenix.
10 hours from Toronto (I made bad time due to not being alone on this road trip) at the Colisee Pepsi, English just was not a factor in the game day experience. At first I thought this was odd. I mean, all you NHL fans know that in both Montreal and Ottawa they make all their announcements in both French and English. Hell, they even did that at the Olympiques game, and even in the Asia League despite the fact that maybe 4 players spoke English, and even fewer people in the crowd did! Like I said, I thought that was interesting, but then I realized that we don't make announcements in French at the Air Canada Centre, not even when the Habs are in town, so I guess it's only fair! Plus it's not really a problem for me, I just have to pay more attention to the announcements than I'd like to.
Anyway, Colisee Pepsi was the former home of the Quebec Nordiques, so it seats more than 15,000 fans, and apparently still occasionally sells out despite the fact that the NHL moved out Colorado, and junior hockey moved in. While I was there the crowd was nearly 11,000, which is MASSIVE for junior hockey, especially for an everyday regulation game, as opposed to say, the Mem Cup, or the World Juniors. To me, this was just proof that Quebec City should probably be at the top of the list for NHL relocation or expansion. The OHL clubs in the Greater Toronto Area don't draw crowds like this, even Brampton has decided to throw in the towel and move to North Bay due to lack of interest! Of course, one would have to wonder if the Remparts would suffer the same fate if the Nords did move back in! Either way, work is already being done on the new, bigger, and better arena in Quebec right next door to the old Colisee, so it will be interesting to see what happens with all of that.
As for the game day experience in Quebec City, it was AWESOME. Both the crowd and the arena were big, so I actually felt like I was at an NHL game for the first time this season, and that includes the AHL game I was at last month! The only thing that brought me back to reality was that I was being perved all over by little boy hockey players born in 1995! Creepy, but at the same time… Yeah, that's right! Another win for my 17 year old disguise!
Of course, my main objective on this trip was to be the perv and do said perving all over Remparts' GM and Head Coach, Patrick Roy, who was celebrating his 500th game as Coach DILF of the club, or at least that's what I think was going on due to the fact that everything was in French. He seemed to find this emotional, and Mama liked that. You know how I feel about both coaches AND goalies! Ohh, baby! Unfortunately, it seems as though QMJHL security must have been tipped off to my coming, and my seat was all the way across the ice from the bench, so my creepy plans were foiled once again!
Sadly, the Remparts absolutely spanked Phoenix with a 6-0 shutout! I was really curious to see how the fans in Quebec City handled a losing situation. Back in Gatineau, the fans got visibly annoyed in the third period and began screaming at the boys in English as opposed to French. Once again, it's probably the Linguistic Anthropology Major in me, but I found this both amusing and intriguing, and was curious if the same thing would happen the deeper into Quebec that I went. Unfortunately, it's hard to be mad when your team is taking care of business so effectively, so I guess I'll have to wait until my next QMJHL game to test this theory, whenever that will be. As of right now I'm craving an AHL game, so that will probably be my next ticket, although part of me feels guilty supporting the AHL during the Lockout due to their affiliation with the NHL. I think I'll have to give it a little more thought. See you at the next one!

A reported audience of 200 Bridgewater College students attended last night's video game debate between Jack Thompson and author Gerard Jones.
So far we have found two local news reports of the showdown.
WHSV-3 offers this account:
Thompson believes that content should be regulated more efficiently, especially toward kids, pointing out the violent aspects of the popular game series "Grand Theft Auto." He says, "The problem is mature and adult video games that are very violent, increasingly pornographic, that are still being sold aggressively to young people. Kids literally process these games in the part of the brain that leads to copy-cat violence."
Jones, however, urged people to view video games in the same ways as movies and television, and hoped gamers would be more open to explain why they love to play. He says, "We hear a lot about the fear of what they might do, what might go wrong, but we hear so little about how these games are obviously fitting in to a sane, healthy life for a lot of normal people."
Meanwhile, Rocktown Weekly has this:
Jack Thompson… says that unlike other media, video games have been shown to affect neurological development in adolescents.
Thompson… says violent games desensitize youths and can train them to carry out massacres in real life, particularly if they have violent or sociopathic tendencies…
Thompson pointed out that the military uses video games to train new troops and desensitize them, making them more likely to shoot when it counts. [GP: According to John Stossel of ABC News, this is a self-perpetuating myth*]…
But Jones counters that violence existed in society long before video games came along.
For example, Jones said the gunman in a 1970s school shooting told authorities he was inspired by "Patton," a biographical movie about World War II Gen. George Patton.
"I cannot see our culture, our laws, our entertainment industry trying to adjust to" what mentally ill people might do, Jones said.
Thompson… advocates greater government control over the video game industry, especially in legislation that makes it a crime to sell video games rated "mature" to minors.
* Stossel tracked down the origin of the military's supposed use of violent games to desensitize recruits in his 2006 book Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity.

A finger sprain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments that support the small joints of the finger. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect bones to each other.
A finger sprain usually results from a blow to the finger causing the finger to bend too much or in the wrong direction. This often occurs during athletic activity when an athlete jams a finger into another person, the ball, or piece of equipment. Finger sprains may also occur in other situations, such as falling on the hand.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk of finger sprain include:
- Playing sports, especially those involving the hands, such as basketball or volleyball
- Poor coordination or balance
- Weak ligaments
Symptoms include:
- Pain and tenderness in the finger
- Pain when moving the finger joint
- Swelling of the finger joint
You will be asked about your symptoms and how you injured your finger. The doctor will examine your finger to assess the stability of the joint and the severity of the injury.
Images may be taken of your finger. This can be done with:
Finger sprains are graded according to their severity:
Grade 1
- Stretching and microtearing of ligament tissue
- Stable joint
Grade 2
- Partial tearing of ligament tissue
- Mild instability of the joint
Grade 3
- Severe or complete tearing of ligament tissue
- Significant instability of the joint
In consultation with your doctor, treatment may include:
RICE Therapy
You will also be told to use RICE therapy. This involves:
- Rest—Take a break from the activity that caused the pain. This is often enough to clear up the shin splint within several weeks.
- Ice—Apply ice in 15-minute periods during the first 24 hours and for several days after if needed. Do not apply ice directly to the skin. This helps reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain.
- Compression—Wearing an elastic compression bandage may help prevent swelling and provide support for the shin and nearby soft tissues.
- Elevation—Keep the injured leg raised for the first 24 hours, including during sleep. If there is local swelling, this may help.
In addition to RICE therapy, you may take anti-inflammatory medications to relieve pain if recommended by your doctor.
Splinting and Taping
You may need to wear a splint to immobilize your finger. If you play sports, you may need to tape your finger to the finger next to it when you return to play.
Surgery may be needed to repair a finger sprain if:
- A small piece of bone has been broken off by the injury to the ligament.
- A ligament is torn completely.
You can reduce your risk of getting a finger sprain by learning and practicing correct technique in sports and using proper equipment. However, in many cases, sprains cannot be prevented.

Wednesday News, May 9th
Kingsley Fire Dept. Responds to Farm Accident
(Kingsley) -- The Kingsley Fire Department responded to a farm accident last evening. At about 10:20 p.m. the call came in when apparently a tractor, believed to be occupied, was in a river. Little is known about the accident at this time, other than fire and rescue officials responded to the scene near 280th Street and Tamarack Avenue, and were on the scene for nearly four hours.
Supervisors Discuss Jake Brakes Ordinance
(Le Mars) -- The use of jake brakes by trucks was discussed during Tuesday's County Supervisor meeting. Plymouth County Sheriff Mike Van Otterloo and Plymouth County Engineer Tom Rohe appeared together before the supervisors to answer questions about the proposed ordinance. The Board of Supervisors are considering implementing jake brake ordinances on county road C-80 in the southern portion of the county between county road K-22 and U-S Highway 75. The other location for consideration is on county road C-38 starting at Highway 75 and going west for about a half a mile. Sheriff Van Otterloo informed the supervisors that he wasn't certain his staff could devote a specific number of minutes or hours each month for the enforcement of violators of the proposed jake brake ordinance. Van Otterloo told the board that often times, only a few complaints are shared, and when signs are erected, indicating the use of jake brakes are forbidden, then many times the problem is resolved. Supervisor Mark Loutsch, a farmer by trade, spoke in opposition of the proposed ordinances, saying sometimes it is needed. Loutsch shared his concern about how some regulations in areas of the nation are being too restrictive to agriculture. Supervisor Craig Anderson said he understands Loutsch's position for speaking in opposition to the proposed jake brake ordinance, but added that "sometimes the truckers could be a bit more courteous", referring to when trucks drive by a subdivision housing area. Chairman Jim Henrich asked Van Otterloo and Rohe how many complaints have been received regarding the use of jake braking. Both Rohe and Van Otterloo indicated there have been very few complaints expressed. Rohe indicated the cost for instalation of signs forbidding the use of jake brakes could be $1000. Henrich suggested to the supervisors since there have been very few complaints, that the issue should be tabled for future discussion.
Sheriff Gives Financial Report
(Le Mars)-- Plymouth County sheriff Mike Van Otterloo gave a financial report to the county board of supervisors. A total of $51,981.16 was collected through inmate fees. Van Otterloo says the increase was a result of holding additional federal inmates from the U-S Marshall's service.

Van Otterloo anticipates additional revenue to come to the county as the result of the Plymouth County Corrections Center.

City To Consider Sewer Line for Willow Run Development
(Le Mars) -- At last week's city council meeting a good deal of attention was devoted to a proposed sewer line for the residents living in the Willow Run development area near the golf course. Le Mars city administrator Scott Langel says the idea to install a sewer line was brought to the city's attention when a resident had problems with his septic system. Langel says if the city was to install a sewer line it would stretch for nearly a mile.
Listen here
Langel says conditions are move favorable today for a sewer line in the Willow Run area as opposed to when the area was first developed.
Listen here
The city council has instructed the city staff to conduct a cost analysis before they make a final decision. There may be some people wondering if the golf course would be interupted as a result of a new sewer line being installed?
Listen here
Once the cost analysis is complete, then the city council will again address the topic.

Well Aware Health Fair Scheduled
(LeMars) -- Floyd Valley Hospital and Wells Blue Bunny will sponsor the "Well Aware" Community Health Fair scheduled for Wednesday, October 12th. The Health Fair will be from 2:00 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. and will be held at the LeMars Convention Center on the upper level. The fair is free of charge for participants. More than 50 exhibitors will be on hand from various health related services available within the LeMars community.
Various medical providers will be offering many health-related services and information including blood pressure checks and diabetes screening. Attendees can take advantage of learning opportunities including a wide array of educational information on nutrition, cancer, blood and organ donation, exercise, dental health, mental health, and more.
(Oyens) -- The small town of Oyens, Iowa is still under a boil order for all their water needs after detecting E-coli bacteria in the water last week. The town of 116 people conducted some shock chorinating procedures over the weekend in hopes to kill the bacteria. Cheri Christman is the mayor of Oyens. She says tests samples were submitted to a laboratory on Tuesday for the latest analysis.
Christman doesn't know how the e-coli bacteria got into the water supply. One possibility could be from rain run-off. However, she says the town does have an old well, and she suspects it could be because of deteriorating casings. Christman says the town is drilling two new wells, and she hopes that will resolve the town's water concerns.
(LeMars) -- Saying "character is important", Sioux City Musketeer's new hockey coach Brett Larson informed the nearly 600 elementary students from LeMars Community and Gehlen Catholic to make good decisions in life. Larson offered a motivational speech during an assembly at the LeMars Middle School auditorium Tuesday afternoon, encouraging the students to stay away from drugs and alcohol. Larson urged the students to "lead in a positive way" and that will ultimately lead them the "right way." The assembly is part of the LeMars Optimists Club annual effort urging the students to "just say no to drugs." Each of the students received a free white t-shirt featuring the winning entry for this year's "just say no" campaign. The winning design shows a graphic of a cell phone on the front with the words "just say no" coming from the phone. Beneath the phone graphic is a text that reads: Foward to All Contacts. The back side features the names and logos of this year's sponsors. Krista Lipp, daughter of Chris and Linda Lipp designed the winning t-shirt entry.
(Sioux City) -- It has certainly been an eventfull year so far for the American Red Cross chapter based at Sioux City. Looking back, they provided food and shelter to the hundreds of victims that lost their homes during the tornados that hit Mapleton, then of course there was the flooding of the Missouri River, and again they provided food and shelter to the many displaced families. When you also consider the national catastrophies such as the Joplin, Missouri tornado, along with the tornadoes that hit the southeastern United States, the wildfires of Arizona, New Mexico and west Texas, and Hurricane Irene, you begin to understand why the call for additional donations. Tammy Pech, Communications Director for the local Red Cross chapter, says the charitable organization has been fortunate that so many people remember the Red Cross when disaster strikes. She says besides the disasters that receive a lot of media attention, there are a number of small disasters that require assistance, such as when a family loses their home to a fire.
The American Red Cross is looking for heroes that will be recognized during the Iowa-Nebraska football game. Pech says nominations are being accepted for one person from Nebraska and one from Iowa. She says the criteria is that the individual must have saved a life during the past year.
(Sioux City) -- In honor of providing U.S. Citizenship preparation services to Siouxland's new immigrants since 1921, the Mary J. Treglia Community House is hosting a Naturalization Ceremony and 90th Anniversary Celebration on Wednesday, September 28 at 11:00 a.m. The events will be at the Community House's 900 Jennings Street location in Sioux City, and will be followed by luncheon of international and American dishes.
The Honorable Donald O'Brien will be joined by representatives of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to administer the Oath of Allegiance to more than 30 prospective citizens. To take the Oath, candidates must have already passed an interview in English an an examination of United States civics and history, in addition to meeting the government's strict requirements regarding residency, good moral character, and time as a lawful permanent resident. Because U.S. Citizenship is so coveted and the standards are so high, the occasion is both momentous and solemn.

These directions come from The Edmonton Bicycle Commuter's Society, I volunteer there and you will also find these instructions at icebike.org
This is what you need to make your very own studded tire:
1. One tire. You need a tire with knobs big enough to support the stud. Slick tyres can also be studded but the stud will have less support.
2. 50 (approx.) Robertson head #8 by 1/2" sheet metal screws (the square head / socket, you'll thank me for this tip) for mountain bike tires (26inch) or #8 by 3/8 inch for hybrid tires (700c). The Robertson screw is a Canadian invention and has the benefit of being self centering and very hard to strip
3. Liner for each tire. This can be made by cutting the beads off an old tire, cutting out the valve and slitting along the inside of an inner tube or just buying a Mr. Tuffy tire liner.
4. Baby powder.
5. One sharp awl. (or a 1/8" drill bit)
* Count the knobs and evenly spread out the 25 screws for each side.
* Punch holes, from the outside of the tire, into the designated knobs. You can drill the hole, however, drilling tends to tear the fabric and thus weakens the tire. Caution you don't need a million screws in there! Too many screws just slows you down.
* Use Robertson bit in the drill to drive the screws in the tire from the inside.
* Put the tube inside the liner and then mount the tube and liner in the tire, making sure the liner covers the screw heads.
* Put a generous dusting of baby powder between the liner, tube, and tire .
* Mount tire on the rim (ouch! watch out for the points!)
* Inflate to maximum pressure. Put the wheel on the bike (mind the points). Spin the wheel to make sure that the studs don't catch on anything.
* One extra step that many people do is to use a grinder to remove the sharp points of the screws and this can also aid in giving you proper fender clearance.
You only need to stud the front tire to keep upright; however, if you stud the back tire as well, it's even better. One caveat is that these tires are only suitable for winter conditions. The difference between one studded front and no studded tires in phenomenal. When the bike is travelling straight the studs shouldn't be hitting the road too hard; otherwise, they will just wear out too soon. Don't worry, when the tire slips just a bit the studs will bite in. You rarely notice the slight side to side movement.
You don't need to stud the middle knobs since you only need the added traction when you are turning. The studs should touch the road enough to allow sufficient braking. The studs in the middle knobs wear out very fast and soon become useless anyway.
Stainless steel screws will last much longer, but also cost about 3 times as much. You can change screws as they wear out, your tire can survive several sets of studs.
Edit October 21, 2009 - The number of screws you use can be varied depending on the conditions you ride in. I like to run 50 per side and my last build has 104 studs.

>Phew. That is a long post title!!
We like old school cartoons. By we I mean Mr. Bargains and myself. There's just "something" about seeing old favorites from our childhood again!! We often let the kids watch with us, although it does make both of us feel kind of old when they kids talk about how "weird" the characters were (its pre-digital age, kids!).
We received a copy of each of these last week and have watched some of each already. We like "shorts" because we don't watch a lot of TV with the kids on a regular basis- so 5-10 minutes right before bed on a school night works quite nicely, and when a short ends, they know its over…no need to pause and start where it ended the next day, you know?
I love, love love these DVDs!! So fun! I think the re-MICKS are my favorite, but you'll have to decide your favorite when you watch for yourself!! They are a great family DVD to have, but be warned, the kids will likely want you to pop some popcorn while you watch…
Click here to save $6 when you purchase both titles!!
Enter to WIN a copy of each of these titles!! These together with some popcorn and cocoa and a board game would make a really nice family gift!!
Mandatory Entry: Leave me a comment with your name AND email, and tell me what your favorite "old school " character was. (Mine? Punky Brewster. LOVED that show).
Extra Entries:

text: We picked up a German Shorthair yesterday and hope to turn him into a shed hunter along with my Weimer. As you can see he is a very unique Shorthair. He has a gene in his family that make one of the last two litters to be while with very light colored spots. The breeder sent blood and tissue samples to UC Davis and had it tested. It is not from cross breeding as some will say but a defective gene. For me this is why we picked him being so cool looking.

SALISBURY, Md. (DelmarvaNow.com) -- A young man shot and killed another man, wounded a female Salisbury University student and then fatally turned the gun on himself in an Onley Road residence Tuesday evening, authorities said.
Police said they are still trying to piece together the details of what they believe to be an incident of domestic violence. At least one other person was in the home being questioned about what had occurred, police said.
No names of the victims have been made public.
The wounded woman is receiving medical treatment in the Shock Trauma unit of Peninsula Regional Medical Center, Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis said in an 8:30 p.m. news conference outside the crime scene.
The shootings occurred at about 6 p.m., authorities said.
The shooter was found dead inside the white ranch house with maroon shutters located on the 100 block of Onley Road. The male he shot was transported to PRMC and pronounced dead there, Lewis said.
The two deceased people are both young adults but are not thought to be Salisbury University students, the sheriff said.
"We firmly believe that the shooter is deceased," Lewis said, calling the incident "kind of unprecedented" for the city. He would not discuss whether or not the shooter was someone known to police.
The violent incident proved stunning for students in only the second week of classes at Salisbury University. Young adults formed crowds around police tape surrounding the home on Onley Road, an area in which many college students live.
University officials used alerts to keep students informed during the evening.
"The investigation thus far reveals that no continuing threat exists to the campus community," one Salisbury University alert to students at midevening stated. "Authorities still ask that the Onley Road area be avoided as the investigation continues."

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WUSA/AP) -- Police are investigating the death of a D.C. woman who was struck in Kentucky by a Lexington fire truck that was not on an emergency call.
According to reports, 27-year-old Lauren Woodall-Roady of Washington, D.C. was killed after being struck by Engine 9 at about 10:15 p.m. on Saturday. The fire engine was reportedly on its way to a hospital to pick up crew, but its lights and sirens were not activated.
It's unclear whether Roady was in a crosswalk or not when she was struck. Police were reviewing surveillance camera footage in the area.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that Roady was an attorney with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission who was recently married and visited Lexington to compete the USA Track & Field Club Cross Country Championships. It also reported that the coroner's office said the incident was being investigated as an accident.
According to the Herald-Leader, Roady also studied at Georgetown University Law Center and graduated from the New York University Law School before joining the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
She was a member of the Georgetown Running Company. The George Running Company posted the following to its website:
"It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the death of our teammate, Lauren Woodall Roady. She was struck by a fire truck that was not on call Saturday night in Lexington, KY, which police say killed her instantly. Earlier that afternoon, Lauren had competed for the Georgetown Running Club in the the USATF Club Cross Country National Championships.
Lauren was new to the sport of running and she showed amazing talent and promise, on top of an enthusiastic and engaging personality. While training with us for the last nine months, she lowered virtually all of her personal records dramatically, nearly every time she raced. Nobody worked harder or trained smarter than Lauren. But moreover, her enthusiasm for the sport she had so recently embraced and her quiet, but strong presence inspired the whole women's team to push a little harder in every workout. Her fresh approach and constant improvement embodied the joy of training and racing. Lauren's steady, inspiring, and cheerful presence will forever be missed.
Our team also extends our condolences and thoughts to Lauren's husband of two months, Peter, and her family."


text: Have a unique area of interest? We have a degree for you. A UAH undergraduate who discovers that his or her interests don't coincide with one of the departmental majors in the College of Science may propose an individualized science major with a program of study appropriate for educational and career goals. The student will need a clear concept of what his or her college degree is to accomplish. The primary objective of the program is to encourage students to think deeply about their career goals and make it possible for them to tailor their education to those goals. A second objective is to ensure that graduates of the program acquire a solid understanding, at the undergraduate level, of an interdisciplinary area of science or mathematics. A third objective is to allow students to stay abreast of changes in the employment marketplace for science and mathematics graduates. Some examples of individualized science majors are biochemistry, biophysics, mathematical biology, astrophysical modeling, computational chemistry, environmentally sustainable systems, climate change, medical physics, and many others. The IBS degree consists of courses offered through the departments of the College of Science and other University departments. Every individualized degree with be built around a core of seven classes from an existing major in the College of Science. A list of cores is available from the College of Science office as well as the College web site. The core plus courses from no more than three other departments (disciplines), not counting honors seminars, will account for a minimum of 54 credit hours. The course work in the additional disciplines will range from a low of 7 courses to a high of 11 courses depending on the number of credit hours for the selected courses. A student must have earned at least 32 semester hours at UAHuntsville, with a grade point average of at least 3.0, before being admitted to the individualized major. However, the student must be admitted to the program no later than the first semester of the junior year. The student will work with a faculty mentor to develop a proposal consisting of an essay clearly explaining the area of intellectual focus, a statement of why the student requires an individualized science major in preference to a traditional major, a discussion of how the proposed coursework relates to the central focus of the program of study, and a description of the student's goals beyond the bachelor's degree. Application forms are available in the College of Science office, as well as the College website.
