What: Alcoa "Parkway" TDOT public hearing
When: Tuesday, November 9, 2010 - 5:00pm
Where: Alcoa Service Center
A public hearing is schedule at the Alcoa Service Center on November 9, 2010, from 5 PM to 7 PM.
Alcoa Service Center
725 Universal Street
Alcoa, TN 37701
We do not need a new, 5-6 lane interstate to run through the heart of Alcoa to give commuters a 3.1 mile respite from Alcoa Hwy. It will take away a lot of green space and bring noise and air pollution closer to one of Alcoa's most historical neighborhoods. This "parkway"s is intended to allow commuters a speedy, but very short path to a sudden stop on Hall Road or the 129 by-pass where there is a stop light.
Do you mean a completely new
Do you mean a completely new highway is being planned? Or to make the main road through Alcoa wider? Or to widen the Alcoa highway?
Whatever the answer, this is very disturbing news.
A ridiculous completely new
A ridiculous completely new highway is being planned from Singleton Station Road to somewhere just past Hunt Road.
I'm having a hard time
I'm having a hard time imagining a route between Hunt Rd and Singleton Station, other than the existing right-of-way, that wouldn't involve serious displacement of homes, businesses or a cemetery. The map included in the public notice does not show a route.
It seems like within the ROW you could turn the SE side of Alcoa Hwy into a frontage road for local traffic (segments of which already exist) and make the airport side for through traffic only, with a couple of flyovers.
Depending on the proposed
Depending on the proposed route, it will dislocate some of the UT Ag campus over there, Pine Hills golf course, a few houses, and cause serious disruption of the Springbrook although it will only take one or two houses at Hunt Rd. It could also impact the view of the mountains from Alcoa Highway.
Your plan makes a lot more sense. It would be our preference.
We have some maps we got from Alcoa Engineering but they are large. I'll try to scan them in.

The Thomas County Sheriff's Office says a blaze that started in the cafeteria bathroom of Central High School at lunchtime was caused by a juvenile student. They say it was lit in a toilet paper dispenser in the boys' bathroom.
Parents of students at the school say they feel shaken by the incident:
"It's scary -- I mean, at school they're supposed to be protected, you know, there's supposed to be steps in place, you know, to protect them from things like this happening," says Stephanie Bufford, whose daughter attends TCCHS.
But parents aren't the only ones who think the arson was a bad decision:
"I thought it was really foolish ... [it] wasn't appropriate for school," says Junior Courtney Godwin.
Officials say they were able to determine who committed the arson after viewing the school's surveillance videos.
Students say they were evacuated from the school within minutes of school officials seeing the fire. They say no one was injured during the incident.
Thomas County deputies say Central High now faces over $1,000 in smoke damage.

It looks like H.K. will not be performing as part of the Guyandotte Civil War Days, scheduled for Nov. 1-6 near Huntington, West Virginia. Apparently, Edgerton spoke last year at the event, but this year organizers were denied matching funds by the state's Civil War sesquicentennial committee. That was sufficient to cancel his appearance.
Of course, one wonders why he was invited in the first place. He certainly is entertaining. His speeches have been fine tuned to garner a strong emotional response from those who have a strong need to see an African American man dressed in Confederate uniform, who fervently believes that large numbers of blacks fought in the army and that that the black population as a whole maintained the strongest ties to the Confederate cause and their masters through to the end of the war. In the trailer that I posted yesterday, H.K. calls for Lincoln to be disinterred so he can be placed on trial for war crimes.

Hello David. I have been disappointed with my SPs this year - the first flush of flowers was pretty good but it's been downhill all the way since then. I have to put it down to such poor weather, especially here in the West Country. Light levels have been low, sunlight has been in poor supply with exception of the odd few days here and there, and my plants are now way beyond their best. Out with them, and looking forward to next year!
I bought seed from a local(ish) specialist, but the results weren't a patch on Eagle seeds. Even allowing for the poor weather, I have to agree with you regarding the quality seed (and no, I'm not advertising, just passing on personal experience).
Oh, well - it's the looking forward that keeps us gardeners young (I think ). And who knows, by this time next year, I may have managed to complete the move that we had hoped would have been completed by now! So - autumn sowing it is - and fingers crossed for a better summer next year!
Yesterday was better than predicted - a few sharp showers, but nothing to write home about. Today? Dry and perfect for getting in the garden. Weeded all that stuff that has taken hold in the damp conditions . OH mowed the lawns. Picked courgettes ( some of which have turned into small marrows!) and peas - perfect with lamb rump served perfectly pink! Son away for the weekend, so shall do the weekly family roast tomorrow - and the forecast is for wall-to-wall rain. One step forward, two steps back!
Oh - and I sorted out the herb garden today. Sage has gone mad. It had over-run the thyme causing die-back. And who said that slugs and snails don't like the fragrant herbs? I found countless crunchies and slimies lurking - all dealt with by secateurs and crunching underfoot. Yuk!
Glad the foot is better, Frank. Must be the scones, jam and clotted cream!
It's been an odd day here - cloudy for much of the time, with some good doses of brightness and even sunshine. "They" said it would rain - heavily. We've had a quick shower or two - but nothing to speak of. I would like to think that "they" had got it wrong for the weekend (well, Saturday and Monday, actually) but knowing our luck, it will perform to order - rain, wind, rain . . .
Oh, Frank - gout is sooooo Victorian Or was it Georgian? Dunno - but unpleasant nevertheless.
Tell you what - I'll send you some virtual Somerset scones with the necessary jam/clotted cream combo. May not cure it - but still tastes good and helps you forget your ills!
Sunshine and showers again today - but overall, not a bad day. I've seen the weather map (the proper one with isobars and fronts rather than the cow-pat brown and beige ones) and it looks a bit iffy, to say the least, for the weekend. Oh, well - it is a bank holiday, so what could we expect?
Seemed OK today - bits of sunshine, quite a lot of cloud, but breezy, so did lots of washing. It was nearly dry when the heavens opened - a real deluge! I got soaked getting stuff off the line. Half an hour later it had all dried up. Yup - that's the great British weather for you Jan 58!
Mine have finally made some progress, and a couple have set and the small aubergines are growing. Hopefully, this won't be too late in the season to get a reasonable harvest.
First thing this morning th clouds were virtually at treetop height. Dank, dark and miserable.
But then - yippee! It lifted. The sun broke through. And we have had a lovely warm day. Made the most of it, since it is undoubtedly transitory . Ah, well, if that rotten rain returns (wet stuff, not our poster, Rain) I can always console myself with a cream tea. Strawberry jam, clotted cream, plain scones, Lapsang Souchong: heaven.
Ah, yes - we must be grateful, Leggi. The countryside here is beautiful, and the price we pay for our bit of a "green and pleasant land" is the copious amount of rainfall. At least the moor (when the cloud lifts) is just about at its best right now - purple with heather, with golden gorse, making it look like a sumptuous patchwork. And on the plus side, when it comes to gardening, I can grow all sorts of things that would be considered tender in other parts of the country. (I even left - well, forgot about to be honest - a succulent houseplant out last winter - can't think of its proper name, but we call it the money plant) and it survived and thrived!
And Frank - a Somerset cream tea adds inches to the waist just thinking about it! (I think the difference between Somerset and Devon is the order in which you put the clotted cream and jam on the scone. Makes no odds to me - it all tastes divine!).
Well, Frank it would be so boring if our weather was predictable. Whatever would we find to talk about? And as for the weather forecasters - I sometimes think they must rely on the odd bits of seaweed outside the back door! Certainly cheaper than the multi-million poundsworth of computers, anyway - and just about as accurate!
Cut them in early to full flower when the weather is dry - preferably in the morning to get the best of the fragrance (or so my book tells me). I have had to take advantage of the odd days of dry weather, but have several bunches hanging up and drying quite nicely. I must confess that I can't be bothered with the sewing involved in making lavender bags, but use short lengths of old tights, securely knotted (!) for quick lavender bags. The linen cupboard and winter woollies benefit - and even if the "bags" don't look pretty, they do the job!

Eagles will face Union tonight for 3A district title
It was a big night for Derrick Brooks and his Hudson's Bay teammates.
Brooks sank seven 3-pointers and poured in a game-high 25 points, leading the Eagles past Prairie, 71-68, in a Class 3A district semifinal contest at Hudson's Bay High School.
The Eagles move on to face Union at 7:30 tonight for the 3A district championship.
Brooks added nine rebounds and five assists, and Bay coach Andy Meyer said the high-scoring Eagle was unstoppable.
"He had a quite a game for us," Meyer said.
The Eagles started slow, and trailed 39-27 at halftime.
Then Brooks heated up. Bay followed, outscoring the Falcons 23-16 during the fourth quater.
"We just got a little spark of energy there and hit some big shots," Meyer said.
Ingo Arrozal added 13 points for the Eagles, who connected on 13 3s.
Adam Herman scored a team-high 20 points for Prairie, while Scott Brooks contributed 17.
Girls basketball
Camas 37, Union 32 — The Papermakers are moving on.
Camas downed Union, 37-32, on Thursday in the second round of the 3A girls district tournament.
The Papermakers take on Prairie at 6 p.m. tonight for the district championship at Hudson's Bay High School.
Asked what made the difference in a tight game, Camas coach Kent Thomas used two words: Melissa Williams.
"She carried us in the second half," Thomas said. "She put us on her back and carried us."
Williams scored a game-high 20 points, and keyed a 13-5 Papermakers fourth quarter.
Bre Sorenson added a team-high seven points for Union.
Thomas also praised the defensive efforts of Katelyn Henson (nine points), who helped Camas hold the Titans to just five points in the first and fourth quarters.
Up 17-16 at halftime, the Papermakers turned to Williams to rally from a 27-24 third-quarter deficit.
"Great credit to Union High School for a great game plan," Thomas said.
Woodland 47, Hockinson 44 — Charity Arn scored a team-high 18 points to lead the Beavers past the Hawks and claim the 2A GSHL regular-season title.
Trailing by 16 in the fourth quarter, Woodland outscored Hockinson 23-6 in the final period to steal the game.
Woodland coach Glenn Flanagan said a press helped turn the tide. Taylor McCullough and Kylie Moses each hit timely 3-pointers, and McCullough hit two foul shots in the final minute to put the Beavers ahead to stay.
Woodland (14-6, 9-1 2A GSHL) will open the district playoffs with a Feb. 26 home game against Tumwater or Black Hills
Amanda McCarty scored a team-high 12 points for Hockinson while Ashley Haden added 10.
The Hawks (7-13, 5-5) finished third in the 2A GSHL and will open district play on the road next week against the Evergreen Conference runner up.
Ridgefield 52, Mark Morris 45 — Shelby Williams' big night led the Spudders. Williams had 22 points, 12 rebounds, eight blocked shots and eight steals.
Nichole Kates scored 16 points for Ridgefield, and Hannah Grenz added six steals and five assists.
The Spudders (12-8, 8-2) will open district play at home on Feb. 26 against the No. 3 seed from the Evergreen Conference.
R.A. Long 57, Washougal 43 — Alicia McElroy dropped in 27 points in a losing effort for the Panthers. Darcy Akers and Maddie Down added six points apiece for Washougal, which trailed 15-8 after the first quarter.
The Panthers (8-12, 3-7) pulled within 43-41 heading into the fourth quarter. Washougal will play a pigtail playoff game as the GSHL's fourth-place team. R.A. Long picked up its second victory of the season with the win.

With the first photos revealed last week, director Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2: Dead End) brought the trailer for his latest movie, Knights of Badassdom, to the 2011 Comic-Con, where it received a warm welcome.
Starring the fanboy-friendly Summer Glau (Serenity), Ryan Kwanten (HBO's True Blood) and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), Knights of Badassdom is about a group of friends engaged in LARPing (Live-Action Role Playing) and accidentally summon a demon during the game. Said Kwanten to the Comic-Con crowd about his character: "Blood and guts start appearing randomly, and he's forced to pick up the pieces." Some of the pieces will likely be from Margarita Levieva, who plays Kwanten's ex-girlfriend Beth and is the form the succubus takes when it arrives on Earth.
Lynch told the crowd (via USA Today) that the movie mashed up all of the director's favorite genres, but it mostly an adventure movie.
The adventure film genre is one that combines chills and thrills and spills. Look at The Goonies or Ghostbusters — even Conan the Barbarian. There are some laughs in there, not at Conan's expense. It's everything I loved in films I grew up with. And heavy metal.
See for yourself if Lynch successfully mashed up the genres in the semi-NSFW trailer below.
Knights of Badassdom co-stars Steve Zahn, Jimmi Simpson (FX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Danny Pudi (NBC's Community). The movie is currently without a release date.

"Plains, Stupas, UXO's and of course Jars too" Top 5 Page for this destination Ban Phonsavan by DSwede
Ban Phonsavan Travel Guide: 71 reviews and 101 photos
Phonsavan is a rather remote stop in anyone's treks through north and eastern Laos. It is far enough away and hard enough to get to that nobody would accidentally find themselves here. So with that being said, if you come here, chances are you have already read up on the area to know the historical "Plain of Jars" and the prevalence of UXO's (Unexploded ordinances) in the area. But just because you may know the historical importance of the area, does not mean that you have an image in mind when before you visit. I hope this page helps.
Phonsavan is the largest town on the great long winding road between the central mountains of Laos and the plains that stretch to the Vietnam boarder. It was built up in the 1970's as a replacement capital city to the devastated Muang Khoun (32km south).
Not long ago, this town was nothing more than a village. And in many regards, it is still only just a village, but growing over its boundaries. The streets are quiet and mostly dusty. Electricity used to be only during the hours of 5am to about 9pm, but this no longer the case. Regardless, it is extremely quiet after 9pm since the locals may still retain that lifestyle. The town can be easily covered by bicycle in a few hours. Outside of the city, a motorcycle or scooter would be best.
The area is relatively flat compared to the limestone mountains to the west (near Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng), but should are still gently rolling.
The higher mountains and steeper slopes are more heavily forested. The valleys and rolling hills are often covered with grassy fields. These fields are still spotted to this day with crater holes from the ordinances dropped during the War. So many bombs were dropped that people in the area still encounter UXO's to this day, and those that are no longer a threat often become part of the decoration or building materials of the local homes.
About 32 km south of the town is Muang Khoun. It is home to the That Foun Stupa, Wat Piawat and was the historic capital seat of the Phoan kingdom. It was heavily damaged during the Indochina war and has lost much of its original mite. But today, Muang Khoun is just another farming town that has very few outsiders pass by to see its treasures.
I came into Phonsavan from the heritage city of Luang Prabang. Unfortunately this was the end of my travels in Laos. I had come in overland, but had to fly out via Vientiane.
Feel free to visit my Laos page for more details on my extended holiday here.
(for more pictures, feel free to visit my Laos Gallery. If you enjoy the pictures, please leave a comment.)
- Pros:The omnipresent UXO's and its impact will make all people rethink events.
- Cons:Transportation options to get here are rather limited.
- In a nutshell:A remote stop to see the higher plains, Stupas, UXO's and of course the Jars too

Amazing photos and tips. I like the Valley of the Jars. So sad all the unexploded bombs and mines left in Laos.
nice page mate. i´ll be heading back to phonsavan myself in february.
Another great page on Xiengkhouane, Dave. I loved the old stupa in old capital but it's pity there's not much left of other buildings. Used to be very nice, so they say.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
Many of the top insurance companies are pretty picky about who they insure. You may be denied direct coverage for some or all of the following: A poor driving record, a unique, high-performance vehicle, geography (if you live in a high crime area), your age and the amount of driving experience you have.
Because car insurance is a requirement to legally drive in most jurisdictions, states have set up "assigned risk" pools or similar systems that divvy up the highest risk drivers among all companies that do business there. Winding up in assigned risk is typically bad news as you'll pay considerably more than other drivers. The rate will be set by the state so it's the same regardless of the insurer, but you can only do business with the insurance company that's assigned to you. You can find more information about assigned risk and how it works in various states in this Insure.com article.
The good news is that assigned risk isn't permanent, and even if you are initially turned down for direct coverage, you can reapply again and again as your driving record improves or as other risk factors go down.
Drivers trying to avoid (or escape from) assigned-risk insurance may have the best luck with large companies, and State Farm certainly fits the bill: It's the biggest car insurer in the nation with more than 18 percent of the market, according to Insure.com. Its size means that State Farm can offer a very wide variety of policies and discounts. Those looking for a more personal car-insurance experience shouldn't write off State Farm because it's huge, though; the company has a large network of agents nationwide for face-to-face service and those get great reviews for their knowledgeable and helpful and service. In fact, although direct-service insurance companies can usually offer lower rates, experts say a good agent may be able to maximize your good qualities to help ease your rates down a bit more than an impersonal, online agent would.
State Farm fares very well overall in customer-satisfaction surveys than many of its large competitors, with policyholders reporting solid experiences with claims. State Farm has strong financial ratings, too.
Progressive offers another solid option for risky drivers. It also maintains an extensive network of local agents and offers a wide range of plans and discounts. Financial ratings are solid. Progressive touts its "concierge level" claims service, although customers report decidedly mixed feelings about their experiences. Some policyholders also complain that their rates suddenly shot up without warning.
One more large company worth a look is GEICO. Like State Farm and Progressive, GEICO is big enough to offer enough flexible plans to cover all types of drivers, and it has solid financial ratings. However, like Progressive, the company receives mixed reviews for claims service and complaints about sudden rate hikes. GEICO also doesn't offer many local agents.
There are few life events more terrifying than putting the car keys into the hands of your beloved teenaged son or daughter. According to the CDC, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of deaths for U.S. teens. However, they also point out that these accidents are preventable, and ongoing education in safe driving practices is the way to do so.
That is why we really like Esurance DriveSafe, a teen-oriented safety program we wish was around when we were the nervous parents of newly minted drivers. It's only available to parents who already are insured through Esurance; but it's free to them. The DriveSafe programs is a combination of a telematics device that tracks your teen's driving habits, and a Smart Phone app that will send you alerts if they are engaging in risky driving behavior, like speeding, driving past curfew, accelerating unsafely, and other unsafe practices.
The DriveSafe program is not like other driver-tracking devices in that it won't affect your insurance rates (or your teens) one way or the other; rather, if offers an ongoing monitoring for parents to put their minds at ease, while being a very big incentive for the teenage driver to drive in a safe, responsible manner. The tradeoff, of course, is privacy and the indignation your son or daughter may feel when mom and dad decide they need to be "tracked." Those are issues that each family has to settle according to its own rules and dynamics; but if you want a higher level of control in those first years or months, this is the program to provide it.
Having said all that, there still is the reality that teenage drivers need insurance and, because they're considered high risk, it's relatively pricey; many teen drivers seeking insurance on their own will wind up in assigned risk. If your current insurer will add your teenager to your policy, rates will likely be considerably lower-- they can always reimburse you. There are no companies we found that are better or worse, rate-wise, when it comes to teen drivers, but larger, direct sale companies like Esurance and GEICO might possibly be new driver friendlier. In addition, virtually all companies offer good student discounts, which can provide an additional incentive for a new driver to hit the books.

The Peer Mentor Program assists incoming first-year and transfer students with the transition to law school by providing continuous guidance and support throughout their entire first-year at USC. From the first day of Orientation to the last final exam in May, incoming students are assigned two Peer Mentors that serve as a primary resource throughout the first year. Mentors assist with this transition by making new students feel welcomed, connecting them with their new environment, and guiding them to social and developmental resources so that all entering students can become an integral part of the law school community. New students meet their specific Mentors during Orientation, and as the semester and year roll along, Mentors check-in regularly. Each selected Peer Mentor is an exceptional second-year law student who sincerely wants to help new students have a fun, successful and engaging first-year.
Growing up in Los Angeles, Cara Adams always wanted to be a pop star; upon realizing the world wasn't ready, however, she settled on the pursuit of higher education. She therefore graduated from New York University in 2014 where she majored in Media and Communications with a minor in Entertainment Business. It was this coursework, her extensive dance background, and internships with Disney, Def Jam, EMI Music, and Downtown Music Publishing that ultimately fostered her interest in Entertainment Law. She absolutely loved NYC, but Hurricane Sandy abruptly and rudely reminded her she is a California girl at heart. Thus, she chose to return home and become a Trojan, a decision she couldn't be happier with. This summer, Cara will be working as a supervising intern for the Intellectual Property and Technology Law Clinic. Next year, she will serve on the Black Law Students Association executive board. Outside of law school, Cara loves the beach, Kanye West, lobster rolls, Pilates, the NBA (Lakers, I love you even during the rough times) and kale. She is so excited to welcome the class of 2018 to the USC family! Fight on!
