COLUMBIA, SC (WLTX) -- Kristoff St. John has been a staple on The Young and the Restless for the past 22 years.
Since 1990, Kristoff has played a major role in daytime's number one drama. Embracing the role of Neil, Kristoff says he hopes he's setting a good example for others.
"Man I get people coming up to me saying you 're that guy in the suit. I feel like Superman sometimes. You're that guy in the suit. Yeah brother I am and you can be in a suit too. It makes me feel good that I've been this positive role model for as long as I have been. I'm not playing a drug dealer. I'm not playing a pimp. It's not one of those stereotypical roles. This guy is articulate", smiles Kristoff.
Like many in Hollywood, Kristoff is extremely private about his time off the set. This twice married, twice divorced father of three laughs off his failures in life.
There is one wrong he is trying to make right.
After more than 20 years of not seeing or not knowing where his birth mother was, Kristoff recently found her in South Carolina.
"It's a long story, but the short of it is when I was four my parents divorced and I didn't see my mom again until I was in my early 20's. Then I lost touch with her for the next 20 years. I'm so happy to have a relationship with her again and thinking about coming to the beautiful state of South Carolina to visit her later this year", said Kristoff.
In true soap opera fashion, the reunion of Kristoff and his mom took an unexpected turn.
His mom has cancer.
Kristoff says, "We're rallying around her. I didn't expect for her to be in the shape she's in but hopefully with the help of doctors...we'll be able to get her through this period."
Kristoff plans to visit his mother before the holidays.

Out of curiosity, is there any particular reason, in the Star Trek canon, for the engine nacelles to be set out from the ship like that? I mean, it seems common to ships of the Federation (aside from the Defiant in DS9) but it also seems like a pretty significant liability for a ship in combat. I may be over-thinking this.
That aside, this is very cool. I like taking a break from my fantasy mapping endeavors to duck in here and ogle the space-ships.
"Unless I'm allowed to carry around a gun to shoot their giant killer-spiders, Australia needs to stay the hell away from me. Also Australians, who if they have lived this long are obviously agents of the spiders and not to be trusted."
Well, memory serves, that the nacelles generated radiation when being used that could be detrimental to crew, and so were located on pylons away from the main ship.
This is common in Klingon Vessels, Romulan, and Vulcan ships. Ferengi vessels do not have the warp nacelles seperated, and possibly may use a slightly different type of war technology.

Rollcage Installation - Caged FishWritten by on June 1, 2007 Our Bracket Car Project Gets A Rollcage
Racing your Mopar can be a challenging and exciting hobby as long as you take the proper safety precautions. We all like going fast in our cars, but an accident at the high speeds that most Mopars attain in the quarter-mile can be disastrous, so safety equipment must be added to a race car to minimize the risk of driver injury. Good seat belts, a helmet, and long pants are mandatory when racing even the mildest street car, but what if you want to go faster? Since the goal for our project Barracuda is some solid 10-second timeslips and speeds at around 130 mph in the quarter, we need to ensure the car is both safe to drive and able to pass NHRA technical inspection since we'll be racing at several sanctioned tracks. In this article, we'll show you the proper way to install a rollcage in any car, and we'll make project B-3 safer, stiffer, and more consistent in the process.
While nobody goes to the track planning to wreck their car, the fact is that stuff happens. Accidents are a part of life, and the racetrack-while considerably safer than driving on most highways-is no exception. Even if you're a great driver and your car is in top condition, you never know when the brand X guy or girl in the next lane will blow their motor, cross the center, and run into you, so precautions must be taken.
The greatest safeguard we take when building a race car is to add a rollcage. The rollcage is designed for one purpose-to save the driver from injury or death in case of an accident. Even so, some racers and especially street enthusiasts are reluctant to add the weight of a cage to their cars. Years ago, the NHRA and other sanctioning bodies mandated that cars of a certain speed be equipped with a rollcage. So we know why we have to do it-to be safe and because the NHRA says so-but a rollcage can also benefit a race car in other ways. If installed properly, a rollcage will add significant chassis stiffness, which equates to more consistent elapsed times and reaction times, and less wear and tear on the car.
While a rollcage can be manufactured out of raw tubing, there is a better way. Since our shop isn't equipped with a tubing bender, we decided to purchase a rollcage kit from Competition Engineering for our car. Competition Engineering makes rollbar and rollcage kits for all popular Mopars, which makes it easy to add a cage to any car. Our Competition Engineering A-body kit included all the bars to install a 12-point rollcage, and the main components were prebent, only needing to be trimmed to size before installation. Since the kit only costs a minimal amount more than the raw tubing itself, it's well worth the few extra dollars not to have to worry about bending the tubes ourselves. The only real choice we had to make was whether to fabricate our cage out of chrome-moly tubing or out of mild steel. While chrome-moly is stronger, and therefore lighter since thinner wall material can be used, it does require a TIG welder, which we don't have. A mild steel cage is a little heavier, but is easily welded using our Lincoln Electric MIG welder. Since this is a bracket car, the weight savings of chrome-moly just doesn't justify the extra cost and hassle of welding chrome-moly tubing, so we opted for a mild steel kit.
Regardless of which material you choose for your cage, check the rules of the sanctioning body in charge of the track where you race. In central Florida, most of the local tracks are NHRA sanctioned, so we checked the rulebook to ensure our cage met the minimum tubing thickness requirements in the rules. Generally, companies like Competition Engineering keep abreast of any rule changes, ensuring their product conforms to the latest rule revisions and will give many years of good service. Even so, we used our NHRA rulebook as a reference, along with the instructions that came with the rollcage kit, to properly install our cage. We suggest doing as we did, using the cage instructions as a reference, but installing it by the rules in the NHRA rulebook. If there is ever a question of how or where to install a bar, the rulebook should be the final authority. After all, it's an NHRA official who will be performing the technical inspection at the track, so if the cage is installed by the guidelines in the NHRA rulebook it shouldn't have any trouble passing inspection.
Even though the rules dictate how our rollcage is installed, there is still some leeway to install the cage so it best benefits the race car. By installing certain bars, like the main bar, over key areas of the unitbody frame, significant rigidity can be added to the car. A more rigid car will transfer more power to the back tires, be more consistent, and flex less, which greatly contributes to a long service life. The benefits of a rollcage aren't limited to race cars, powerful street cars will also gain rigidity and consistency with the addition of a cage.

Adding a rollbar or rollcage to your Mopar offers many benefits, including improved safety, stiffness, and the ability to pass strict NHRA tech when you're at the track. Follow along as we show you how to install a rollcage in your Mopar.Anytime you perform chassis work that involves welding, it's important to be sure the frame is level both side-to-side and front-to-back. We used a level on the rocker panel at the doorjamb, then the top of the cowl to ensure our car was level during the installation. Remember, if the chassis is not true when the cage is welded, the cage will permanently hold the chassis in its warped state causing suspension problems.Since we plan to replace our glass with clear, lightweight polycarbonate, we decided to go ahead and get the windshield and back glass out of the way.We began by fitting our bars with the main rollbar. The placement of this bar is important as all the other bars will attach to it. NHRA rules say the main bar must be no further than 6 inches from the driver's helmet. With the seat bolted in position, we used a plumb-bob and string to locate the main bar front-to-rear.To center the main bar side-to-side, we simply measured from the bar to the inside of the rear door panel area.Since our Barracuda incorporates a unitbody frame and doesn't have OEM framerails, the rules dictate that all the bars be welded to 6x6-inch steel plates, 11/48-inch thick, that are welded or bolted to the car's floor. These plates were provided in our kit. Instead of welding our main bar to the rear floor, we welded it to the stiffer, under-seat area where it will reinforce our torque boxes, stiffening the area of the leaf-spring's forward mount.With our main bar located, and the metal plates welded to the floor, the main bar can be tack-welded in place. We've found it best not to completely weld anything until all the bars are fit and tack-welded in place.With the main bar in place, we then fitted the main hoop of the cage. This hoop should be as tight to the roof of the car as possible without interfering with the headliner if your car is so equipped. Since our car will see race duty only, we won't run a headliner. In either case, however, the driver's head/helmet should never be above the main hoop while in driving position. Once in position and level, tack the main hoop in place.
Fitting the front bars is trial and error. The bars in the kit are long enough that they'll need to be trimmed to fit. Using a sharpie to mark the final location helps to locate the plates that will be welded to the floor.We decided to locate the forward down supports of the main hoop over the front frame of the car, close to where the frame connectors attach to the front frame. This will provide additional support in case of a rollover accident, keeping the frame bars from punching through the floor of the car. An additional benefit is the extra stiffness these bars will provide.Since the front down bars must also be welded to a metal plate, then the floor, and since the front floors have a contour, we had to bend the plate to fit. This was easily accomplished with a hammer and vice.Once our forward plates were fitted correctly, they were also tack-welded in place, then the forward down bars were welded to the main hoop and the floor plates. This forms the foundation of our cage, so then we could begin fitting the additional bars that make up the 12-point rollcage.The rear bars should be placed over the car's rear framerails for maximum support. We like to get them as close to the rear leaf-spring mounting area as possible to support this high-stress area. Again, where they attach to the floor they must be welded to the metal plates provided with the kit. Be sure to grind away the paint for a clean weld.After marking the center of the frame-rail under the main rollbar, we used a plumb-bob and string to determine where to locate the rear bar on the main rollbar. Doing it this way ensures the rear support bar will be directly above the rear framerail of the car.While all the tubes in our Competition Engineering rollcage kit were prebent, most are left long so they can be trimmed for a tight fit. A good metal cutting saw is mandatory to fit the bars.Installing a rollcage isn't really an exact science. In fact, we made most of our measurements with a simple tape measure. Just remember to measure accurately and avoid cutting any of the bars too short. Cutting the bar a second time is a lot easier than trying to add metal to a bar that you cut too short.
We used a combination ruler/level/angle finder to find and transfer any angles to the tubing before cutting it to size.Since both the NHRA rules and the instructions called for an X-brace from the main rollbar to the rear floor, we decided to install ours to the floor just above the rear shocks. This is another area where the suspension reacts, so supporting the floor here will add to the overall stiffness of our chassis.Since we installed frame connectors in our car, we welded the required additional bar from the main rollbar to the frame connector for additional support. If you don't have frame connectors, this bar is installed to the floor with another metal plate.The diagonal side bar, or door bar, is welded from the main rollbar to the forward down bar where it attaches to the metal floor plate.The cage needs to be connected to the car's forward frame, and we've found this to be the easiest way to do it. By passing a bar from the forward down bar, through the firewall, and welding it to the front framerail directly behind the upper control arm, we triangulated the frame in the area where we removed the inner fender for the headers.From the inner fenderwell you can see how we had to cut the firewall to pass the forward bar through. We'll cut a sheetmetal patch to seal the firewall when the cage is finished. This forward bar greatly improves the strength of the forward framerails, and also protects the driver's lower legs in the event of an accident.Before welding this in place, the driver should be in driving position to ensure this bar passes midway between the driver's shoulder and elbow.Once all the bars are tack-welded in place, we used our Lincoln Electric mig welder to finish weld all of the joints. We aren't welding experts, but by using the reference guide inside our welder to set amperage and wire feed speeds, we ended up doing a decent job.Remember, pretty welds aren't always good, and good welds aren't always pretty. The key is to get enough heat in the weld to fully penetrate the base metal. Our welds aren't the prettiest, but they have good penetration, which is more important than looking pretty. Weld short beads at intervals, moving around the car, so that you don't heat warp one area. This is similar to stitch welding sheetmetal body panels to avoid heat warpage.
Even if your welds don't look pretty, don't grind them. The NHRA won't let you through tech if your welds are ground off. If you really screw one up, the correct way to repair it is to completely grind out the weld and weld it again.Since the rollcage is made from untreated, raw, mild steel, it begins rusting very quickly, especially after it's been touched as the oil in human skin accelerates the process. After we had our cage installed and welded, we sanded and treated the cage and floors with rust inhibitor to prep them for paint.Once painted, the cage looks great, way better than the rest of our car at this point. Follow along in future issues as we finish the interior of our project, wire and plumb the car, install a bulletproof drivetrain, replace the glass with polycarbonate windows, and head to the track for some testing. It's a lot of work, but project B3 will be at the track before you know it!

These long hex bit sockets are very good quality and the length makes getting to those hard to reach fasteners a breeze. For the price I don't know why anyone would NOT have a set in their tool box. The value for money here is off the charts, the tool truck equivalent to these is at least five times more money. Highly recommended!

We understand why alliances are formed. The continuing question is: How can companies best prepare and sustain their alliance teams for success?
One of the biggest challenges in creating successful alliance teams is the ability of brand and senior management from each company to understand and manage the issue of cultural compatibility. "It takes two to tango," says the old adage. But what happens if one partner excels at tap-dancing, while the other prefers a stately waltz? At best, there's the chance for each to learn some new steps; at worst, the partners won't even agree on what tune to play.
Effective teamwork doesn't happen by accident. Ignoring cultural issues overlooks the fact that however strategic and viable the mission at hand, it's up to the people involved in the alliance team, with all their individual talents, skills, foibles, and tendencies, to align and move forward on the shared agenda thrust upon them. The lawyers who wrap up the deals on alliance contracts are understandably focused on the bottom line—specifically, how will this deal enhance the company's financial performance? Meanwhile, the joint team tapped to carry out the deal is subject to a host of pressures, the most fundamental of which is that their ability to get work done together—as a team—will determine their ultimate success.
Once a deal is in place, close and immediate attention to potential cultural issues confronting an alliance team offers a huge jump-start toward success. Too often, however, no attention is paid. The alliance is announced. Individuals from each side are thrown, willingly or otherwise, into the fray. Groups of functional experts from each company are now expected to work in lockstep, as a team—collaborating, communicating, managing conflict, making decisions, effecting strategy—without regard to how such operational procedures are normally conducted within each respective camp. Certain "mechanical" processes, such as forecasting, budgeting, information technology systems, usually have to be put in place right away. Yet the team itself is expected to "bond" and "grow together" without even the corporate equivalent of a ceremonial "Kumbaya" around the campfire to commemorate the union.

Dallas, TX (Sports Network) - The NBA's Board of Governors voted Wednesday to
keep the Kings in Sacramento and rejected Chris Hansen's planned relocation of
the franchise to Seattle.
The vote was 22-8 by team owners, commissioner David Stern announced.
"This was not an anti-Seattle vote, it was a pro-Sacramento vote," Stern said
during a press conference.
The Maloof family, current owners of the Kings, had agreed in January to sell
a 65 percent share of the team to a group led by hedge fund manager Hansen and
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who were looking to move the Kings to Seattle and
rename it the SuperSonics. The Board of Governors followed an April committee
recommendation to stop the Kings from relocating.
Seattle lost its NBA franchise to Oklahoma City in 2008.
Stern said the Maloofs have the right to retain ownership of the franchise
instead of selling the team, but the commissioner said it's likely the Maloofs
will make a deal to transfer ownership and said he'd like to see it done "as
soon as possible."
The Maloof family was reportedly threatening not to sell the Kings to the
group that wanted to keep the team in Sacramento.
"They were clear on that point until the end, but their agreement to
ended effectively with the vote," Stern said. "We think that now because the
Maloofs have been overall good for Sacramento and the NBA, they will be
motivated to do something fast so the franchise can get cranking."
The league would ultimately like to return to the Seattle market, though,
according to Adam Silver, the NBA's current deputy commissioner.
"The league continues to enjoy strong support in the Seattle market," Silver
said. "We want to wait and see what happens in our next national television
negotiation. We are confident we will return there one day."

I'm looking to upgrade my Leupold Sequoia spotter and wanted to get some opinions on what was best. I will pack it on western hunts for use on a tripod, and on some mid-west deer hunts also. It will also get lots of use on a window mount scouting whitetail in low light conditions. When scouting whitetail I rarely look over 3/4 of a mile, mostly around a half mile. Anyway, the two listed are just a couple I'd been looking at and wanted to get some opinions. I want to stay under the 40oz weight and have an easy to pack design which is steering me away from some of the 65mm or bigger scopes.
What's the best scope under $1200 and under 40oz?
Is HD glass worth the extra $?
Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

QUETTA, Pakistan Pakistan's minority Shiite Muslims have started using the word "genocide" to describe a violent spike in attacks against them by a militant Sunni group with suspected links to the country's security agencies and a mainstream political party that governs the largest province.
Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a group of radical Sunni Muslims, who revile Shiites as heretics, has claimed responsibility for dozens of attacks throughout Pakistan. Linked to al-Qaida, it has been declared a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S., yet it operates with relative ease in Pakistan's populous Punjab province, where Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and several other violent jihadi groups are based.
The violence against Shiites has ignited a national debate - and political arguments - about a burgeoning militancy in Pakistan. The latest attack was a massive bombing earlier this month that ripped apart a Shiite neighborhood in Pakistan's largest city of Karachi, killing 48 people, many of them as they left a mosque after saying their evening prayers. So far this year nearly 300 Shiites have been killed in devastating bombings, target killings and executions.
The unrelenting attacks also have focused the nation's attention on freedoms that Pakistani politicians give extremists groups, staggering corruption within the police and prison systems and the murky and protracted relationship between militant groups and Pakistan's military and intelligence agencies.
"The government doesn't have the will to go after them and the security agencies are littered with sympathizers who give them space to operate," Hazara Democratic Party chief Abdul Khaliq Hazara, told The Associated Press in a recent interview in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan where some of the most ferocious anti-Shiite attacks have occurred.
He labeled the killings as the "genocide of Hazaras," whom are mostly Shiites and easily identified by their Central Asian facial features.
"I have a firm belief that our security agencies have not yet decided to end all extremists groups," said Hazara. "They still want those (militants) that they think they can control and will need either in India or Afghanistan," he said referring to allegations that Pakistan uses militants as proxies against hostile India to the east and Afghanistan to the west.
The army has a history of supporting militant Islamists using them as proxies to fight in Kashmir, a region divided between Pakistan and India and claimed by both in its entirety. It is repeatedly criticized by the United States and Afghanistan for not doing enough to deny Afghan insurgents sanctuary in the tribal regions that border Afghanistan. Angry at the criticism, Pakistani army officials say they have lost more than 4,000 soldiers - more than NATO and the U.S. combined - fighting militants.
Yet, police officials in Baluchistan and the capital, Islamabad, told the AP that Pakistan's intelligence agency had ordered them to release militant leaders who had been arrested. The militants were not necessarily affiliated with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, said the officials, who asked not to be identified because they feared losing their jobs.
Even the judiciary has queried Pakistan's security agencies for information about their alleged ties to militants.
The Supreme Court previously ordered the intelligence agencies and the paramilitary Frontier Corp, which was given sweeping powers to track and arrest militants in Quetta, to explain accusations of their involvement in anti-Shiite attacks. The intelligence agency was told by the court to identify unregistered weapons and vehicles some of which were alleged to have been involved in suicide attacks targeting Shiites.
Still in Pakistan's most populous province of Punjab where 60 percent of the country's 180 million people live, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and other militant groups move largely unrestricted.
In 2010, Punjab's Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif issued a surprising appeal to the Taliban, asking them to stop attacks in Punjab province because his government - just like the militants - opposed the dictates of the West. In a recent interview with the AP, Ahsan Iqbal, the deputy secretary general of Sharif's conservative Pakistan Muslim League, clarified his boss's comments.

A spokesperson for Citi told NewsChannel 5 300 jobs will be cut at it's facilities in O'Fallon and Kansas City, Missouri. There are approximately 6,000 employees in the state and the cuts will impact about five-percent in operations and technology.

The company said Wednesday that the cuts will result in about $1 billion in charges in the fourth quarter and about $100 million in charges during the first half of next year.

Germain Racing is Gearing up for Bodine to Race the No. 30 Valvoline Tundra at Bristol on Wednesday Night
Posted by: lori on Aug 16, 2010
Tagged in: Sherwin Williams , Germain Racing , GEICO Racing , GEICO
- Bodine Leads Truck Series Championship Battle by 231-point margin
- Has Earned Three Wins this season, 20 in his Truck Series Career
- Germain Racing has 21 Truck Series Victories and Eight Pole Awards
August 16, 2010 (Mooresville, N.C.) - In June, when Germain Racing was heading to Texas, the team announced their new partnership with Valvoline. To give that announcement some extra energy, Todd Bodine drove the Valvoline logo into victory lane at Fort Worth, capturing his first win of the 2010 season. Since then, Bodine and the No. 30 Tundra team of Germain Racing have collected two more victories and they are looking very forward to having the Valvoline logo back on board this week at Bristol Motor Speedway.
"Having Valvoline join the Germain Racing team has been a great partnership. Bristol is our first race with Valvoline as the primary sponsor on the No. 30 Valvoline Tundra. The truck looks great and we think it will look even better running up front, under the lights, at Bristol ," said Bodine, who has competed in 37 NASCAR races at Bristol, scoring two victories in the NASCAR Nationwide Series and three top-five finishes in five Truck Series starts.
Crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. will lead the Germain Racing team into battle on Wednesday at Bristol. The team will race chassis TRD-106, which last saw action this season at O'Reilly Raceway Park.
"What this team has accomplished this season has been a testament to the commitment of everyone that works at Germain Racing, Toyota and Triad. We hope to continue to get results that truly measure up to the extra efforts that everyone has put in to make this No. 30 Valvoline Tundra team what it is today. We are heading to Bristol with one thought in mind, and that is to get the Valvoline logo back into some victory lane photographs," said Hillman.
With a 231-point lead in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, two wins in a row and three wins total along with a pole award this season, Hillman has been asked if it's time to start focusing on winning the Truck Series title rather than being aggressive and going for the wins.
"With the equipment we have, it would be a shame to tell our driver he can't put his Toyota Tundra out front. So, no, we aren't changing our strategy. Germain Racing will put the No. 30 Valvoline Tundra on track at Bristol with the goal to win the race. It's the best way to get the most points and the best way to thank Valvoline, Toyota, Triad and everyone back at the shop for all the work they put into this truck," said Hillman.
Watch Bodine the No. 30 Valvoline Tundra on Wednesday, August 18th at Bristol Motor Speedway. Qualifying will be on SPEED at 4:30 PM ET, with race coverage starting at 7:30 PM. Follow Germain Racing on Twitter @GermainRacing or on the web at Germainracing.com or become a Facebook fan.

ATLANTA -- There's plenty of talk about what it would take to build a new stadium for the Atlanta Falcons. But it seems no one wants to talk about what would happen if the parties involved failed to reach a deal.
Right now, the new stadium would cost more than a billion dollars, a third of it taxpayer money, courtesy the city and county's hotel-motel tax. That means visitors, not residents would foot the bill. Still, Gov. Nathan Deal told 11Alive News on Thursday, he's not sold on the idea.
"There's a lot to be said for the fact we have a very good dome. I think there's got to be a little further explanation to the public and probably the members of the Georgia Assembly to explain the necessity of changing that and going to a new stadium," said the governor.
Los Angeles recently announced its plans to build a new one billion dollar stadium in hopes of luring an NFL team back to the city. If that happens, the NFL has two choices: either expand its number of teams, something a spokesman told 11Alive it has no plans of doing, or move an existing team.
That's why Atlanta Business Chronicle is posing the question: if Atlanta's stadium deal falls through, could the Falcons fly to a stadium ready and waiting in LA?
"Our current deal with the team says they have to play in the Georgia Dome until 2020 or until the debt on the Dome is retired, which is currently right at $100 million," said Jennifer LeMaster, a spokesperson for the World Congress Center which leases the Dome to the Falcons.
That means the Falcons could "buy out" their interest and move if they wanted to. But the Chief of Staff for AMB Group, LLC, the parent company of the Atlanta Falcons, says that's never been part of their discussion.
In a statement to 11Alive News on the issue, Kim Shreckengost said, "Atlanta has been the home of the Falcons since 1966, and we are committed to this community in a wide variety of ways. We have stated our preference and goals to remain downtown and continue our partnership with the Georgia World Congress Center Authority. Both sides are committed to reaching an agreement that will achieve these goals."

Video: Silver Spring Transit Center Declared Unsafe
Video: Silver Spring Transit Center Not Safe To Use
SILVER SPRING, Md. (WUSA9) -- Montgomery County officials have learned they have more problems than they thought.
A consultant has told officials that its $112 million Silver Spring transit center is unsafe and unusable.
"Things are significantly worse, we have more problems then we originally thought we had," a Montgomery County official said.
The transit center on Colesville Road is intended to serve about 100,000 buses and commuters each day but cracks in the concrete caused the county to study the project safety.
"The load carrying capacity of the pour strips is somewhere between ten and 20 percent of what's otherwise required to actually operate buses through those driveways," John Markous, Deputy County Attorney said.
Now county officials are saying they simply don't know when repairs can be made and when the transit center can open.

The same year, he and his fellow Chinese team members became World Champions in Stuttgart.
The gymnast from Luzhou specialised in the parallel bars and floor exercises. His technical ability led him to be selected for the Chinese team for the Games in Beijing. He won his first Olympic title with team-mates Yibing Chen, Xu Huang, Xiaopeng Li, Qin Xiao and Wei Yang. In the team event, the Chinese gymnasts beat the Japanese and Americans. In the individual events, Kai Zou qualified for the finals of the parallel bars and floor exercises.
For the latter, the final was on 17 August, and Kai Zou was not the favourite. He had finished sixth in the qualifying round but, helped by a home crowd, produced a faultless programme. The judges awarded him the score of 16.050. After all the other gymnasts had competed, he was at the top of the results table, ahead of Spain's Gervasio Deferr and Russia's Anton Golotsutskov, who had scores of 15.775 and 15.725 points respectively. That gave him his second gold medal in Beijing.
Two days later came the final of the parallel bars. He stepped up to the apparatus full of confidence, after winning the two World Cup events earlier in the year in Cottbus, in Germany, and Tianjin in China. After his programme, he was awarded the score of 16.200, enough to beat America's Jonathan Horton by 25 hundredths of a point and Germany's Fabian Hambuechen by 0.325 points. In his favourite discipline, Kai Zou won his third gold medal.
Since Ning Li in 1984, the man who lit the Olympic cauldron at the Beijing Games Opening Ceremony, Kai Zou is the first Chinese to win three gold medals in gymnastics. For his first Olympic Games, Kai Zou can be proud of his achievement.

What it's supposed to do: Train the quadriceps.
What it actually does: It strengthens a motion your legs aren't actually designed to do, and can put undue strain on the ligaments and tendons surrounding the kneecaps.
A better exercise: One-Legged Body-Weight Squats
Lift one leg up and bend the opposite knee, dipping as far as you can, with control, while flexing at the hip, knee, and ankle. Use a rail for support until you develop requisite leg strength and balance. Aim for five to 10 reps on each leg. (If you are susceptible to knee pain, do the Bulgarian split squat instead, resting the top of one foot on a bench positioned two to three feet behind you. Descend until your thigh is parallel to the ground and then stand back up. Do five to 10 reps per leg.)

(Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Lakers haven't been over .500 in more than
a month. With the road-weary Philadelphia 76ers in town Tuesday night, the
Lakers have a good chance at regaining a winning record.
The Lakers were 6-5 back on Nov. 20 with a win over the Brooklyn Nets and
stumbled from there, losing nine of the next 12 games. They have cleaned up
their act since with six wins in the past seven games, including a 104-87
victory versus the Portland Trail Blazers Friday night.
Kobe Bryant had scored 30-plus points in 10 straight games and posted 27
versus the Blazers on 9-of-18 shooting. Bryant added five rebounds and four
assists for the Lakers, who have won three in a row at home and are 10-6 at
Staples Center this season. Bryant leads the NBA with 30.1 ppg and averaged
34.4 ppg during his recent 30-point surge.
Dwight Howard posted a double-double versus Portland with 21 points and 14
rebounds for the Lakers, who led by as many as 27 points and forced Portland
to shoot 41.4 percent for the game.
The Lakers, who had a 52-44 rebounding edge, outscored Portland in the paint
by a 58-38 margin. They also had a 26-13 advantage in second-chance points.
"I think our focus was much better on the defensive end," Lakers coach Mike
D'Antoni said. "I'm really happy with the way we defended as a team."
Pau Gasol had 15 points and Steve Nash scored six with 10 assists. The Lakers
are 3-1 since Nash returned from a leg injury and he is 38 assists shy of
10,000 for his career.
Los Angeles will play visitor Friday against the rival Clippers.
Philadelphia will resume its season-high eight-game road trip Tuesday and is
just 1-3 so far on the trek. The 76ers were last in action on Saturday in an
89-85 loss at Portland as Jrue Holiday scored a game-high 29 points and handed
out nine assists. Holiday, though, had seven turnovers.
Thaddeus Young scored 17 points and both Nick Young and Spencer Hawes each
scored 10 for the Sixers, who have lost eight of 10 games and are just 1-8 in
their previous nine road games. The Sixers are only 5-10 as the visitor.
"One of these nights we have to have a game where we're the team that jumps
out early and survives a couple runs," Hawes said. "It takes a lot more energy
to be on the bottom side of a run trying to come back than it does just to
kind of withhold it."
The Sixers are hitting the meat of the road trip and still have to visit
Phoenix, Oklahoma City and San Antonio. They will need Thaddeus Young to keep
up his scoring touch and he is averaging 17.0 ppg in his last six. Young has
scored 10 or more points in each of the last 21 games -- the longest streak
since former Sixer Andre Iguodala did it in 24 games in row back in 2009.
Evan Turner hasn't done much lately to help his team, failing to reach the
double-digit scoring mark in three of the past six games. He had turned the
trick in 17 consecutive games from Nov. 16-Dec. 19. Despite his many
turnovers, Holiday has handed out at least nine assists in four straight
Philadelphia hosted the Lakers on Dec. 16 and dropped a 111-98 decision.
Bryant scored 34 points and Nick Young countered with 30 for the 76ers, who
have lost 10 of the last 13 games in this series. The Sixers are 2-10 in their
previous 12 at the Lakers.

1st Precinct in limbo
Merger suspended; station house open for now
Maureen Beccaris has been an officer in the Nassau County Police Department's 1st Precinct for 26 years, but for the last six months, she said, she came to work every day not knowing where she would be the next week. She explained that her office's supplies and papers were still in boxes, waiting to be moved to Seaford when the scheduled merger of the 1st and 7th precincts took place.
But when Beccaris returned to work after a weekend of visiting colleges with her daughter two weeks ago, her coworkers greeted her with news that the 1st Precinct in Baldwin would remain open. After months of uncertainty, she said, the mood in the station house shifted to a sense of relief.
"When you work somewhere for an extended period of time, it becomes home, regardless that it's work," she said. "A camaraderie exists here that is hard to explain. Merging would have changed all of that."
While some officers, elected officials and local residents were also pleased to hear that the 1st Precinct would not be absorbed by the 7th for now, the future of the department's station house in Baldwin is still unknown.
Inspector Kenneth Lack, commanding officer of the NCPD's public information office, said that the department's experiences when Hurricane Sandy hit the South Shore were a contributing factor in the decision to suspend the last of four scheduled precinct mergers.
Lack explained that the 7th Precinct, at 3636 Merrick Road in Seaford, was sandbagged during the storm, and floodwaters reached the area around the station house. Although the building sustained no damage other than several shingles being blown off the roof, Lack said that the station house was inaccessible at the height of the storm. This prompted officials to reconsider the merger.
"It was mostly the storm that put things in a different light and caused the county executive and the police commissioner to re-evaluate," he said. "The greatest storm the county has ever seen is just making us re-evaluate combining the 1st and the 7th and the location of those precincts."

All these plans to renovate the building across the street or build a new building for millions is crazy. Renovate and continue to maintain a police station. Its in a good central location were it is.

Nassau County finds itself getting less for more: fewer services for more tax dollars. With the obvious lack of a cogent plan for the police precinct merger, why is the county even considering the building of a new station house in Baldwin? And given the confusion and indecision, why is there a sign on the purchased property announcing the "new home of Precinct 1" across the street from the existing station house?

ATLANTA (AP) - Michael Jordan has asked a Georgia court to dismiss a lawsuit filed against him by a woman who says the NBA hall of famer is the father of her 16-year-old son.
Jordan's lawyer says in the document filed Monday in Fulton County Superior Court that he is not the father of 48-year-old Pamela Y. Smith's son. Jordan has also filed a counterclaim against Smith for false claims made against him.

The 50-year-old owner of the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats says the paternity of the teen has already been "conclusively established" in divorce filings between Smith and her ex-husband.
Jordan's response to Smith's Feb. 6 lawsuit says her suit is a "shameless, bad faith attempt to abuse the legal system."
In Smith's lawsuit she requests that Jordan take a paternity test and pay child support.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Former Ohio State football star Jim Stillwagon has been indicted on charges accusing him of firing shots at another driver during a road rage incident last year.
Prosecutors in Delaware County north of Columbus said Friday that the 63-year-old Stillwagon was indicted on four second-degree felony counts of felonious assault, all with firearm specifications.
Police said Stillwagon, who was on a motorcycle, fired shots at the driver of a pickup truck on Sept. 30. One of the shots grazed the 41-year-old man's head.
Strillwagon, who was legally carrying the gun, is a college Hall of Fame middle guard who helped the Buckeyes to a national championship in 1968.
His attorney has said he fired in self-defense. A phone message was left at his home Friday. His arraignment is Monday.
