Traffic accident data requested from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) by The Karnes Countywide for the first six months of 2012 shows that the number of Karnes County traffic accidents is continuing to rise.
The number of traffic accidents jumped from 122 to 270 between the years 2010 and 2011. For the first six months of 2012, TxDOT data reports that 203 crashes have happened so far this year in Karnes County.
If that pace continues, Karnes County may see a 50 percent increase in the number of traffic accidents between 2011 and 2012.
In terms of fatal crashes, with only six months passed, 2012 has already surpassed 2011 with six fatal crashes this year so far, compared with four fatal crashes for all of 2011.
In 2010, there was just one fatal crash reported in Karnes County.
Other data in the report shows that for the first six months of 2012 there have been 13 incapacitating crashes, 37 non-incapacitating crashes, 34 possible injury crashes, two unknown severity crashes and 111 non-injury crashes in Karnes County.
Karnes County officials have pointed to increased traffic and deteriorating road conditions brought about by the Eagle Ford Shale oil and gas boom as reasons why the number of accidents is rising at an alarming pace.
In response to concerns about highway safety, TxDOT announced in June that six new traffic signals would be installed at highway intersections in Karnes County. The news release said that TxDOT would "have solutions in place in 30 to 45 days."
Three of the intersections are in Karnes City – at US 181 at FM 99, at US 181 and FM 1353 and at Badger Street/SH 123 at SH 80 north of Karnes City High School.
Three of the intersections are in Kenedy – at US 181 at FM 1145, at SH 72 at FM 1145, and at US 181 at Business Park Boulevard in front of the Walmart supercenter. The plans also include installation of advance warning signs, rumble strips and intersection illumination.
Two months have passed since the announcement was made and construction still has not yet begun on any of the six locations within the timeframe specified by TxDOT in the news release the state agency sent to media outlets.
In an effort to find out why none of the six projects have yet begun, The Karnes Countywide contacted TxDOT for comment Monday morning.
TxDOT Public Information Officer Aaron Ames said he forwarded the request for information about the projects to another TxDOT official, but a response to the request has not yet been received.

I would use an ANOVA here, but are these really samples? If you have 10,000 digits into 10 groups and your are finding the mean of the whole 1000 then this is the population. Of the 1000 if you only took a random 50 for example then that would be a sample.

Hot Diggity Dog!
It seems that every summer one very important question lingers in the air "Hamburger or hot dog?!" and while we're a fan of the burger (Rach wrote a whole book on 'em!) we can't argue against the love for a delicious bite of a grilled dog sandwiched between a pillowy bun. And it looks like we're not alone—July 23 marks national hot dog day and for good reason! According to recent polls, a quarter of Americans eat only hot dogs during grilling season!
Want some more hot dog celebrating trivia? According to the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council, we eat about 7 billion hot dogs during the summer—that's 818 hot dogs per second! With all that hot dog eating, the mustard and relish combo might get a little old, so check out our 10 twists on a hot dog (pictured above) to spice up your cook out. Try more of our favorite recipes—from classic toppings to hot dog kebabs—like these favorites:

Consider This
Miramar Recordings
Keyboardist Roger Smith clearly had a blast performing on Consider This. From the romping, funked-up, hard-jazz attack on a unique cover of Michael Jackson's "Remember the Time," to the wide-open road sound of the mellow but driving "Workin' It," Smith's spirit is contagious, inviting a wide range of listeners to share the joy. An accomplished and elegant pianist, Smith mixes sounds to disarming (and charming) effect. "Thinkin' Bout Ya," for example, boasts an adult-contemporary sheen, but derives energy from the dirty sound of crunching retro-organ at the root. "Full Moon" skates and sways with tinny keyboard sounds and the thwack of old style funk, while forwarding a detailed and appealing pop melody. Perhaps best of all is "Horn-afication," a genuine soul-jazz romp that finds the Tower of Power horns working out over thick layers of keyboards. On this weird and wonderful tune, Smith brings stiff-fingered traditional piano, squishy retro Fender Rhodes and clavinet to the party, swinging out in grand style.

This report describes the construction of asphalt pavements made with three types of asphalt binders. The three types of binders were PBA-6, PBA-6GR (ground rubber), and AR4000W. The two modified binders, PBA-6 and PBA-6GR, are being evaluated to determine their resistance to rutting as compared to the conventional binder, AR4000W.
Construction was not without problems. Cyclic segregation, defined as repetitive areas of asphalt mix segregation that occur at approximately every truck load, was a major problem on the northbound lanes. A material transfer device was used on the southbound lanes which minimized the cyclic segregation effect.
At the time of this report (approximately two years and 1.0 to 2.0 million ESALs), there is no data that indicate which of the three asphalt binder types will have better performance. The project will be monitored over the next five to ten years to identify if any added performance is gained in any one of the mixes.

ComingSoon.net has just premiered a new "first look" clip from director Kathryn Bigelow's upcoming action-drama, starring Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty, Ralph Fiennes, and Guy Pearce called The Hurt Locker.
Apparently the story is about: "New sergeant names James (Renner), takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn (Mackie) and Eldridge (Geraghty) by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James' true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever."
You can't really tell any of that from this short clip, but it still looks pretty damn cool. Check it out below…
What do you think? Does it appeal to you war/bomb disposal team taste buds?
The film opens in theaters on June 26th

Buddy Jorde sorts through a basket of potatoes Tuesday afternoon. Jorde's family farms approximately 600 acres and brings produce to sell at the Clovis Farmers' Market. (Staff photo: Sharna Johnson)
By Leslie Radford: CNJ Staff writer
Dennis Shaw dusts fresh dirt off one of the red onions he picked just before he came to set up at the Farmers' Market on Tuesday afternoon. He said his onion crop isn't as good as last year's — they're a little small, but they taste just the same.
Shaw is among the half dozen vendors who tolerated the heat pounding off the pavement at the north parking lot at the North Plains Mall to push their goods.
"I picked just about everything just before I loaded up to come out here," said Shaw, a local dryland wheat farmer who grows vegetables on the side. "My father teases me I need to bring more because I always sell out before the day is over."
Shaw said he has come to market the past three years with fresh produce from his farm in Ranchvale that also includes garlic, green beans and corn, depending on the season.
The Market opened June 21 with four vendors selling mostly vegetables, according to Susan Allen, market director. She said the produce available at the Market ranges from cucumbers to tomatoes to all types of melons.
New to the Market this year are fresh eggs and beef.
Andy Unruh raises black angus cattle on a ranch in Fort Sumner. He said he and his family have been selling meat at the Santa Fe Farmers' Market for the last five weeks. This was their first time in Clovis.
"We're going to set up a grill here to give out samples and maybe get some onions and things from the other vendors," Unruh said. "That's what we do in Santa Fe and it usually helps us make a sale. People smell it cooking and come and talk to us."
Peggy Lynch of Clovis enjoys the fresh produce that "you just can't buy in the store."
"I buy cucumbers and black-eyed peas when they have them," she said. "I like to can them and save them for winter."
Buddy Jorde, 16, has sold potatoes and onions for the last four years. His family owns a potato farm south of Clovis. They'll begin potato harvest in about two weeks, he said.
"The potatoes are a little small right now, but they'll get bigger," he said. "We really sell a lot of the russets. People like to use them for baked potatoes."
Even gardeners such as Melissa Young sell leftover produce she and her family just can't eat before it spoils. During the fall, she brings pumpkins.
"We come out when we have excess in our garden," she said. "It may be zucchini this week and next week we won't have anything. At the end of July, we'll have more than enough things to bring out here."
Until then, Allen said she expects the Market to gradually grow each week with new vendors bringing in home-grown fruits and vegetables. The market is usually open until mid-October.
• Where: North Plains Mall parking lot
• Tuesdays: 4 p.m.-sell out; Saturdays: 8 a.m.-sell out
• Market season: mid-June through October
• Contact: Susan Allen at the Extension office, 763-6505

Thanks Claudio
Sorry for the lack of detail – Windows 7, trying to install Reader version 11.0.04.
I had already been to http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and been unsuccessful. However, this time I downloaded version 9.5.0 – SUCCESS! It then updated itself to version 9.5.5.
I think that I will stick with that for the time being.

Displacement of the plume from Japan: IRSN strengthens environmental radiation monitoring, France's Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN), March 19, 2011:
Watch the animation on the IRSN website here.
Compare that to the Chernobyl animation on the IRSN website here.
Google Translation
Since March 12, the plume resulting from discharges from nuclear reactor accident at the Fukushima moves, while thinner, air currents in the northern hemisphere. The IRSN has a model of this dispersion, in collaboration with Meteo France, which allows it to monitor and anticipate this shift. The first card was wide areas near Japan and the second card is the scale of the northern hemisphere as a whole.
According to this model, the plume was covered yesterday in most of North America and north-eastern Siberia. He is currently on the North Atlantic, and should reach the Territory of Saint Pierre and Miquelon and the Caribbean. It could reach mainland France, the 23 or March 24, 2011.
The expected concentrations of cesium 137 in the air over the territory swept by the plume are extremely low. This radionuclide is representative of radioactive material released long-distance during a nuclear accident.
These concentrations will be too low to be detected by the 170 beacons warning network Téléray IRSN, whose measurements are also available on the website of the IRSN.
IRSN agreed with the Environment Agency of the United States ( EPA ), which suggests that these concentrations will not affect health and the environment. In addition, they will be so small that they may probably be detected in the environment than by sample measurements performed in specialized laboratories.
The IRSN has such laboratories in France (and Tahiti, located in the southern hemisphere and therefore outside the main stream of the plume). The Institute will publish the test results when available, that is to say, several days after the passage of the plume. Regarding Saint Pierre and Miquelon or the West Indies, the results of data analyzed in the United States are considered representative of the situation in these territories.

A Winona jury on Thursday convicted 20 people of trespassing while protesting frac sand mining operations in Winona.
After a four day trial in Winona County, jurors took three hours to come to a verdict.
Each protester was sentenced to a year of unsupervised probation. Part of the sentencing also orders those convicted to stay away from frac sand operations.
Each also has to pay $85 in court costs and $200 in restitution which will go back to the mining operations.
A spokesperson for the group said in an email, "The mood outside of the courtroom was resolute and committed following the conclusion of the trial, as the group held hands in a circle and closed their eyes in silent prayer. This group did not seem defeated but instead emboldened in their resolve to work for change."

Global Lens Film Series
The Light Thief ("Svet-Ake" 2010, Kyrgystan)
June 9, 2013 - 1pm
In this colorful modern-day parable of good and evil, a humble village electrician devotes his compassion and ingenuity to destitute neighbors in a wind-swept valley of Kyrgyzstan. Played with wry humanity by writer-director Aktan Arym Kubat, the trusting Mr. Light strikes a suspect bargain with a rich developer running for local office, as unemployment threatens the survival of the community. Stoking a dream to supply wind-generated electricity to the whole valley, the modest visionary comes up against an increasingly dark cloud of corruption in this affecting tale of solidarity and ordinary decency amid the injustices and hardships of a changing world.
The Global Lens Series is being co-presented by the Global Film Initiative and is part of the Global Lens collection. For more information, visit www.globalfilm.org

Setting up Amazon EC2 Virtual Machine
By mkivela | April 4, 2008
Yes, I know the formatting is screwed to heck and back again…and I don't really care to dicker with CSS at the moment to fix it. The information is here
Amazon has some really nifty utility type computing services. One of these is EC2 — Elastic Computing Cloud.
Here's how I took a Public AMI and made a private, customized AMI from it. I configured both a Linux box as well as my Windows laptop to access EC2 — Linux by command line, Windows by the EC2 UI Firefox plug in. AMI is an Amazon Machine Instance, their name for a Virtual Machine.
1) References that helped me:
Amazon Getting Started: http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/2008-02-01/GettingStartedGuide/
Niblets: http://niblets.wordpress.com/2007/02/16/how-i-set-up-my-ec2-instance-for-rails-litespeed/
Rightscale: http://blog.rightscale.com/2008/02/02/top-reasons-amazon-ec2-instances-disappear/
2) You'll need to setup an Amazon S3 and EC2 account. The Amazon Getting Started Docs are pretty helpful here and really quite painless to setup the accounts. You're only charged for actual usage — my credit card has gotten billed 15 cents some months.Steps 3, 4, and 5 are documented here just for my reference. We will, however, primarily use the GUI.
3) Linux — Prerequisites:In my case, I installed JRE 1.6, which installed by default in /usr/java/jre1.6.0_05.
4) Linux — Configure .bash_profileThis is way the settings needed by the Amazon tools are persistent:
export PATH
export EC2_HOME=/usr/sbin/ec2-api-tools/
export EC2_PRIVATE_KEY=~/.ec2/pk-(snip).pem
export EC2_CERT=~/.ec2/cert-(snip).pem
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_05
5) Linux — Install the Amazon Tools, per the Getting Started Guide.
6) Windows — Configure EC2 UI.
7) Ok, let's fire up EC2 UI:
Choose the Security Group tab, and click the refresh button to show the groups.Click the + button to add a new group. Let's call it "Web Services"Security Groups are a firewall system — conservative practice is to launch a VM within a Security Group with limited rights/
9) Right click Web Services and choose "Grant new permission…"This will open a dialog. Here I'm adding Port 443 to those allowed.Security Groups help reduce the load on your virtual server by allowing the Security Group to reject unwanted traffic, before it hits the iptables or other firewall running on the virtual machine.
10) Go to KeyPairs and click the green key button to create a keypair — here I called it mkivela_amazonaws
11) Now let's find a trusted public AMI image to copy. I've used the level22 ones before, so let's chose a 32 bit Ubuntu Gutsy one:
12) Right click to launch it:We'll launch this as a m1.small instance.Choose the mkivela_amazonaws keypair.Make sure "web servers" is in the Launch In security group — otherwise we won't be able to access via ssh.
13) While it's firing up, let's configure Putty to access it. Images, properly done, are initially accessible only via SSH and Keys.Fire up PuttyGen and choose "Conversions" then "Import Key"Choose the key you configured earlier:
Save it as Putty Private Key (ppk)
14) Ok, returning to EC2 and doing a refresh under "Your Instances" we see it is running.Right click on it and copy the Public DNS to clipboard:
15) Open up Putty and set it to connect — paste in the Public DNS address, and set the Private Key:
16) Click "Open" in Putty to connect to the image. Log in as root.
17) Let's set a password for root, create a user (mkivela), and give mkivela sudoer rights:Exit, and SSH back in using your non-root account.
18) Use your favorite SCP client to copy over your cert*.pem and pk*.pem files for Amazon AWS. In my example, they went to /home/mkivela/.ec2/
19) Now let's bundle this puppy, for a i386 platform.-u is fed your Amazon account number without hyphens. You can get this from the Amazonaws.com page by signing in and going to "Account Activity".First command will create the image in your home directory, second command will upload it to Amazon:
sudo ec2-bundle-vol -d ./image -k ~/.ec2/pk-(blahblahblah).pem -c ~/.ec2/cert-(blahblahblah).pem -u (blah) -r i386
ec2-upload-bundle -b <your-s3-bucket> -m ./image/image.manifest.xml -a <aws-access-key-id> -s <aws-secret-access-key>
20) Ok, now from EC2 UI, shutdown the Public AMI.
21) Register your new Private AMI. In this example, srv-mrk1 is the s3 bucket I uploaded the image to.
22) Now right click and Launch it. Use the settings like we did above for the public AMI.Once it is running, you'll be able to SSH to it.
23) And you're ready to run updates and install and configure software like you would like it.
24) You should also look at configuring an "Elastic IP" for boxes used frequently — that gives you a Static IP address you can assign as you wish to AMIs within certain rules. Otherwise you're stuck with a dynamic IP only that changes on each boot.

If you don't want a monthly cell phone plan, many carriers offer pay-as-you go plans that let you buy minutes as you need them (though typically with a minimum purchase or an account maintenance fee), or to buy a couple of hundred minutes, or a couple of thousand minutes, in advance. Such plans are expensive on a per-minute basis, however, compared to monthly plans, and data, if available, can be prohibitively pricey for anything but minimal use. Those drawbacks make pay-as-you-go plans a bad deal for frequent cell phone users. However, for some, especially those who only want a cell phone for occasional or emergency use, pay-as-you-go could make good sense.
If that describes you, take a long look at H20 Wireless (Est. 5 cents per call or text). That company uses the AT&T network, which is one of the top networks in terms of coverage according to independent testing. It's too small/new to have been included in any of the large user surveys we consulted, but Sascha Segan lists it among "The Best Cheap Prepaid Phone Plans You've Never Heard Of" at PCMag.com. PrepaidPhoneNews.com describes the pay-as-you-go plan as good value for very light use. User feedback at sites such as HowardForums.com is limited, but paints a mixed picture of customer service with varying complaint-resolving issues noted.
Pricing is very straightforward. Most plans bill use at 5 cents per call, 5 cents per text, and 10 cents per MMS message. Data is billed at 10 cents per MB, but at that rate you won't want to use very much (see the discussion of T-Mobile below for why). You can buy airtime in $10, $20 or $30 increments, all good for 90 days, or in a $100 block that won't expire for one year, and unused minutes roll over if the account is replenished before time expires. You can cut the cost of time by 10 percent by subscribing to auto recharge.
Though the roster of countries is limited (just over 50 at last look), international callers can find a lot to like with H20 Wireless. International calls to included countries are billed at the same rate as domestic calls, mostly to landlines, however, though cell phones are also included in a few cases. If you are a frequent international caller, a $25 plan includes a $5 international talk credit, and all calls and texts are billed at 2.5 cents. However, this plan has a 30-day expiration date.
The phone line up is fairly strong, and includes a roster of basic phones, entry-level and mid-range Android smartphones and the complete Apple iPhone line up. While you won't find any current Android flagship phones, some older top models, such as the Samsung Galaxy S5, are available. H20 will also let you bring your own AT&T phone (assuming it is off contract) or compatible GSM phone.
Major national carriers rarely offer a pay-as-you-go plan that's competitive with what's offered by MVNOs like H20 or TracFone (covered below), if they offer one at all, but T-Mobile (Est. 10 cents per call or text, $5 per 500 MB of data) has one of the cheaper pay-as-you-go offerings. At 10 cents per-minute or per text, pricing is higher than with H20, but still lower than with many other carriers. You need to buy airtime in $10 increments, good for 90 days, and there's a monthly minimum charge of $3. Unused time can't be rolled over. If there is a period where you need more time/texts, additional usage is billed at the flat rate (10 cents per), or you can buy a weeklong pass with unlimited talk and text for $10.
Data isn't included, but can be added for $5 per day for 500 MB, or $10 per week for 1 GB. Given the short expiration dates, that pricing isn't competitive with data costs on the best monthly prepaid plans, but can be an okay option if you only need a burst of data on occasion. To put it in context, at 10 cents per MB, 1 GB of data at H20 Wireless would run $100. Ouch.
Phone selection at T-Mobile isn't terrific, but the company welcomes compatible phones purchased elsewhere. T-Mobile's customer service usually rates well, but that includes feedback for its performance as a full-service carrier. One national survey that rates carriers and evaluates T-Mobile prepaid separately, finds customer service measures to be mostly average. That's a step above where most other prepaid carriers finish in similar attributes, but a step below T-Mobile's ratings as a traditional (postpaid) carrier. The T-Mobile network is often excellent in areas where coverage is available, but the carrier's reach is more limited than other national network, with best results in cities, nearby suburbs and along major roads.
TracFone (Est. $10 for 30 minutes and up) is one of the longest established prepaid providers, with an emphasis on pay-as-you go plans. It provides service using the AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon networks, and you can use phones purchased from the company or your own compatible, unlocked device.
While the service previously focused on basic phones and talk-and-text centric plans, it now offers a roster of budget-friendly, entry-level devices with 3G data capabilities. If you own an LTE phone of your own, you can activate it with TracFone and enjoy LTE service over your current carrier, though likely at reduced speeds (see this Tom's Guide article for why).
While pricing is competitive, the chief reason to go with TracFone is its variety of plans and customer care that, while not world beating, rises above the norm for pay-as-you go providers. It's the second highest rated prepaid carrier, and the highest rated pay-as-you-go carrier, in one large national survey. At J.D. Power and Associates, TracFone finishes slightly above average in users opinions of the purchasing experience, but a bit below average in the area of customer care.
For light users with standard phones, pay-as-you-go plans start at just under $10 for 30 minutes of service good for 30 day and top out at 450 minutes for $80, good for $90 days. Other options include one year of service starting at around $100 with 400 minutes included, or 1,500 minutes for $200. Add-ons that double your minutes, add data, and add texts are available, as are a host of special deals and offers.
Smartphone owners can also take advantage of monthly pay-as-you-go plans that start at 60 minutes of talk, 60 texts and 60 MB of data for around $20 per month, while just under $80 will net you a plan with 450 minutes of talk, 450 texts and 450 MB of data. Android phone users enjoy a special promotion that triples those allotments. Unused minutes, text and data roll over to the next billing cycle as long as you use your service in the previous six months and top off your account before it expires.
TracFone also offers pay-as-you-go value plans for smartphone owners. Plans start at $10, good for 30 days of service and 50 minutes of talk time, 40 texts, and 50 MB of data, again tripling those allotments if your phone is an Android device. There is no contract or activation or cancellation fee, but plans auto-renew each 30 days unless cancelled.
TracFone is another good choice for those who call internationally. Calls to selected countries, (about 80) are billed at the same rate as domestic calls. As with H20 Wireless, calls to cell phones are not included except in specific countries (around 17 at last look, including the Bahamas, Mexico, Canada, Indonesia, India, Russia and Hong Kong).
Net10 (Est. $20 and up) is owned by the same parent company as TracFone and again provides service by reselling access bought in bulk from other carriers. Net10 offers a full range of monthly plans (Est. $35 per month and up), including family plans for two or more people, and plans with data allotments that compare favorably with some of the offerings covered in the section on the best monthly prepaid plans, but it's the carrier's pay-as-you-go plans that earn Net10 its best feedback.
A $20 Net10 card has 200 minutes good for 30 days, a $60 card provides 900 minutes that last for 90 days, while a $100 card gives you 1,500 minutes and is good for 180 days. If you top off your account (re-purchase minutes before the ones you have expire), any remaining minutes are rolled over and are good until the next expiration date. There's no data allotment, nor texts, but international calls are included. Net10's phone assortment is relatively impressive, including some flagship Android devices (though one of those would be overkill for the carrier's data-less pay-as-you-go plans) and you can bring your own compatible, unlocked device.

In contrast with the quite unusual low temperatures, February is certainly one of the most colorful and warm months in Portugal.
The reason is very simple, Valentine's Day and Carnival both happen really close to each other, that's why there're many opportunities to celebrate the colors of life, happiness and love.
When we talk about Carnival perhaps the most immediate examples that come to our mind are those of Venice, Rio de Janeiro and New Orleans. In Portugal though Carnival traditions are very diversified, that's why the charismatic Torres Vedras Carnival is considered to be "The Most Portuguese carnival in Portugal".
Strongly inspired by theatrical traditions, the Torres Vedras Carnival uses the mask as a pretext not only to change and break social codes, but also to challenge generally accepted dogmas.
The Torres Vedras Carnival has a unique ambience, with its own rules and its very own traditions.
This is a different Carnival for people who are not afraid to question and break rules. That's why we are dedicating this article to this wonderful Portuguese tradition filled with colors and diversity.
