Student respect (or lack thereof)
(1/2) > >>
Hello all,
I am currently teaching a large social-science course (175 students). In my attempt to help students develop critical-thinking skills, I decided to have formalized debates count as a portion of their grade in the course.
My problem is that I'm having trouble maintaining control of the class during these debates. Although there is a formalized structure in place for the debate, students on each team sometimes interrupt each other or make antagonistic remarks. Worse, this draws a large response from students in the class, with people sometimes yelling out comments. I try to call "time outs" at these points and I remind the students to speak one at a time and to be respectful. But I feel that this strategy is not working well thus far. The situation tends to repeat itself.
As this is the first course of this size that I've taught, I'm not familiar with how much talking out of turn from students is acceptable. But I feel that I need to re-establish control in the classroom. And unfortunately, there are only a few weeks left in the semester.
Does anyone have some advice or similar experiences to share? Thanks.
Remove them from the classroom. Say it. Mean it. Do it.
Comments made to incite or antagonize have no room in serious debate. Your classroom is not the Colosseum.
I doubt that it will make you popular initially, but I suspect that when you lose control you lose the respect and attention of a majority of the students. It might have the opposite effect in the long run. You'll gain respect and become popular with those students who are actually interested in learning the finer points of serious debate.
Marcus Welby:
Your attempt to promote an interactive approach and exchange of ideas is honorable. But the approach you take may not be the best in a lecture hall of 175 students.
The largest class I ever taught had about 60 students. Although billed as a "lecture course," I received approval from the department head to replace one lecture each month (each lecture was scheduled
for three hours, one evening a week) with three one-hour tutorials.
Fortunately, when I left that university the next university I taught at scheduled small group tutorials each week, in addition to the lecture.
In a small group (20 or less) you are able to effectively moderate and guide debates, ask follow-up questions, know who said what and to whom, hold participants accountable for their comments, monitor decorum and content, and make sure a substantial percentage of the class can participate.
All of those things are difficult, if not impossible, for the
instructor to accomplish in a group of 175. You want a participatory and interactive environment, not anarchy.
I think it's great that your students get very involved in these debates that you have set up as part of the course. It really shows the extent to which you are able to generate that excitement in your teaching.
Still, 175 is a somewhat large number to involve in a debate, so maybe the problem with students talking out of turn stems from the students' concern that their voices will not be heard. Do you have graduate students leading smaller discussions in this course? Debates might work better in a smaller group where each student can have their chance to speak.
While my largest class sizes are not nearly as formidible as yours, I do use discussion and debate as part of the curriculum. I have also discovered that this is, by far, the toughest teaching method to master! My problems are usually the opposite of yours ... I have to struggle to get folks to talk!
Anyhow, here's what works for me:
As you mentioned, you'll need to structure the discussion and debate, at first. As students get used to the format, you can relax the formalities. I have each group assign a note taker, a summarizer/presenter, and a "devil's advocate" (or the person who gets people to take their conclusions further than the "because I think so" phase). I also keep up the pace of group work by assigning shorter time frames -- too long and you'll get talk about last night's game, etc.
Allow for in-class preparation of the debate/discussion in small groups. Assigning the bulk of the preparation as homework is asking for unprepared debaters.
Set an egg timer.
The next time you teach this course, it wouldn't hurt to spend a few minutes reviewing the difference between a debate and a shouting match. Keep in mind that the media's "shouting heads" approach is what people usually think of when they envision a debate.
I would also talk about the concept of freedom of expression. Often younger students think that they can say anything and at the same time not get criticized (i.e., they think they have a right to be comfortable with their views at all times and not have them challenged). Younger students also think that hitting below the belt is an appropriate use of "free speech," and the class begins to resemble a session of the "dozens."
Make the presentation itself a significant source of points. If all else fails, tape each team's debates and show those to the class. Part of speechmaking involves a critique of one's presentations. I teach in the College of Education, so we use video all the time. You can't hide from a bad presentation, plus you have evidence of what can be improved upon next time.
Students will talk out of turn now and then, but shouting inappropriate remarks during a class presentation isn't acceptable. I wouldn't give up on the use of debate and discussion, but I would focus on the structure and lighten up as they get the concept.

Health & Harmony
How do we practice prevention? How do we prevent getting sick? How do we practice wellness? How do we stay well?
Natural solutions are easy. They are all a matter of common sense and household wisdom. My question is ... why are they not easy to put into practice?
For example, one of the most common causes of a deficient immune system is lack of sleep. Sleep is restorative. It is a keynote of wellness. The circadian rhythms that operate to keep us in harmony with day and night must not be interrupted or this delicate hormonal balance will cause disruption in major systems.
Interrupted or impaired sleep can cause memory deficit. One night of poor or inadequate sleep can affect your ability to concentrate or think clearly the next day. Fogginess can affect your ability to drive, perform physical tasks, decreases mental acuity so that academic or job performance falls below par. Irritability from lack of sleep affects relationships and judgment calls. Just ask any mother with babies or young children how she performs after night watching. Ask any teen or college student who "can't fall asleep" and stays up all night on the computer or watching TV how well he or she pays attention in class the next day. Ask any college student who "pulls an all nighter" studying how she or he performs on that test.
Sadly, in many cases, the toll that lack of sleep takes on a student is remedied by medication. There may be a diagnosis of ADD or ADHD in order to justify the medication. This is an easy way to fix the problem without addressing the underlying cause.
In women parenting or caretaking in other areas, the lack of sleep causing irritability, fatigue and a sense of hopelessness is likewise easily fixed by medication. More women are diagnosed with depression than ever before and the easy answer is to medicate them in order to fix the symptom without addressing the underlying cause.
Men and the fair majority of people who work outside the home may have sleep disturbed by thoughts. It is difficult to turn off the issues of the day or to stop thinking of what has to be done tomorrow. It is akin to a runaway train. It is on the track, speeding at 100 miles an hour and there are no brakes. The rush of thoughts that cannot be controlled is typical in all age groups and I see it in grade school children as well as adults. We all know the solution given for this problem as we are inundated with commercials for Ambien and Lunesta ad nauseum. The long list of side effects is the grist for the mill of comedians. However, it is no joke that they are commonly taken for sleep issues.
Other more gory consequences of sleep deprivation include premature aging (that ought to get the women's attention); accelerated tumor growth; pre-diabetic states; stomach ulcers; heart disease and constipation along with varied mood disorders.
Natural solutions abound for prevention and wellness. Why are they not put into practice? In my experience, it is because it is easier to take a pill. It is easier to roll the dice, keep your lifestyle and habits and take your chances that "it" won't happen to you.
The top 10 ways to create a good night's sleep:
1. Listen to your body. When you feel tired, get to bed. Before the 24/7 world, people would rise with the sun and go to bed shortly after sundown. Keep as close to natural rhythms as possible.
2. Limit fluid intake to 2 hours before bedtime and empty your bladder before going to bed.
3. Avoid eating after your dinner. Enjoy a high protein dinner to increase your stores of L-tryptophane, a natural relaxant.
4. Take a hot bath, relax your muscles, wash away the day's worries.
5. Listen to some music or read a bit of a good book, not work related, before falling asleep. Nature sounds and prerecorded sleep inducing music are helpful if you have difficulty falling asleep.
6. Clear your mind by writing a todo for-tomorrow list. Then, don't look back! Congratulate yourself for a day well lived and move on. Create the space for a better tomorrow.
7. Make the sleep space as comfortable as possible by removing clutter. Have a comfortable mattress and pillows and clean sheets.
8. Sleep in complete darkness. Use blinds, drapes or eye mask. Light when you are sleeping is a big no-no. It affects the pineal gland's secretion of the essential hormones, serotonin and melotonin.
9. Keep an ambient temperature in the bedroom. 68 degrees is good, but no higher than 70 degrees. Use extra blankets, if needed. Wearing socks to bed has been shown to reduce night wakings.
10. Clear the bed area of clocks or electronics with flashing red LED displays. EMFs or electromagnetic frequencies disrupt pineal gland activity and have been implicated with other negative effects on the body as well.
BONUS TIPS: Snuggling up with a loved one may lead to wellness. Conjuring loving thoughts of loved ones not present is beneficial to health. Breathing deeply and slowly ten times calms your nervous system. Being a loving person yourself is the ultimate key to prevention and wellness.
Natural solutions to everyday problems are easy when you take the time to consciously choose to nurture yourself. Natural solutions evolve organically from listening to your inner voice. The voice of reason. You can't hear it with the volume of Life turned up high or not shut off. You can't hear it if you suppress it with drugs. When you decide that you matter, you will naturally do the right thing. When you role model that for your children, they will learn how to nurture themselves. Prevention and wellness start at home. Make bedtime a time to look forward to. A time to anticipate a well deserved rest from the activities that overwhelm us.
And to all, a good night! May The Blessings Be!

Jan Hansen Property owner
Jan Hansen purchased this apartment in 2007
Location, location beach front ! - Nothing can be build in front of this unique hotel apartment. One of the few places you can stay on a beach in Madeira.
My friend and i stayed at Jan's apartment for the first week in November. The photos for this apartment are true to form, the place was clean, spacious and well equipped. Towels for the bathroom and the beach, books, maps. Front of house staff friendly and helpful.
We did not hire a car and found getting out and about from this area very easy.
There is a lovely coastal walk up to Funchal that takes about 45 mins and can be a little steep in places but worth every step. The supermarket is in the same direction about 20 mins walk. Beach Cafe's that sell great food 5 mins walk in the other diction and a promenade walk to Camara De Lobos 30 mins.
Would recommend this apartment.
First time in Madeira, and this was an excellent base. About 2km west of the centre of Funchal, so away from the noise and bustle of the more built-up hotel zone. And the location is just wonderful - right on the seafront, so our balconies (from main bedroom and lounge) had great sea views, and we drifted to sleep to the sound of the waves on the rocks below. The pool is clean, well-maintained, and never crowded - we had it to ourselves for about 50% of the time! The local supermarket, together with a few other shops and restaurants, is accessed along a beachfront boardwalk (wear flat shoes!) and through a short tunnel pathway (there may be shallow puddles here) then up some steps past a small 'lido' area. To get to the Funchal, it's about a 40 mins walk, or try the local buses (cheapest and easiest way is to buy a 'Giro' card from the local newsagent - a bit like an Oyster card, you tell them how many trips you want to load it with, and you can 'top up' as and when required) - we used the No 2 bus, which runs every half hour. City sightseeing bus tour was also v useful to show where everything was. Our favourite restaurant was 'The Real Canoa' - excellent menu, v friendly and helpful staff, and they offered a free collect / drop-off service to the apartment which was very much appreciated.
Hi Jan
We are now back home but wanted to let you know that we had a fabulous time at your apartment.
We all had a wonderful week and would recommend both the accommodation and Funchal to anyone.
The transfers to and from the airport was ideal and hassle free.
The apartment is a perfect place to explore Funchal, or just relax by the pool.
many thanks
We were a little worried about our choice of holiday as we usually book a house with a private pool but we needn't have worried. The apartment was large and comfortable with the most amazing sea views. It had everything we needed and exceeded our expectations from the description given. The pool area was quiet and well maintained and the beach was just through a little gate - which also gave access to a beach path towards the centre of Funchal. There were shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance and bus stops close by to take advantage of the local bus pass which was excellent value for money. Jan was very helpful in answering our many questions before we arrived and met us at the apartment with all the information we needed. He was also on hand to sort out any minor problems such as where to leave our luggage before the evening flight. He also put us in contact with Strawberry World who run airport transfers and excellent island tours (very good value). We liked Praia Formosa, loved Funchal and thoroughly enjoyed Madeira. We particularly enjoyed early evenings at the beach bars but the best of the holiday was the lovely apartment we went back to each day.
The location of this fabulous apartment is right on the beach providing excellent views and sunsets. It is within walking distance of several fine restaurants and the Forum Madeira shopping centre which provides fashion shops, cinemas, restaurants and supermarkets. The apartment is modern and well equipped with everythiong you could need. The two large balconies are ideal for relaxing and dining.
We have visited several times over the last few years and would definately recomend this apartment.
After arriving with my family in Madeira for the second time - Jan was there to meet us and showed my family and I around his beautiful apartments. This apartment that my uncle and I stayed in was clean and well-maintained, with the most amazing scenery and views across the sea. There was plenty of crockery and utensils for a family of 4 and a washing machine which was a must!!! We all had the most wonderful holiday, and Jan was always on hand if we needed information about the island. We will all be definately seeing you again next year Jan, and many thanks once again for the use of your wonderful apartment

Indiana Law students can build their own plan of study by taking classes from a number of different areas, or they can choose an area of focus.
Description This course provides an introduction to international environmental law, a vast, complex, and increasingly controversial body of rules that states, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations have developed to address multiple threats to the environment. The course will review basic sources and principles of international law important for collective action on environmental challenges and then explore specific uses of international law with respect to different environmental problems, including transboundary air and water pollution, unsustainable exploitation of environmental resources (e.g., desertification), trade in hazardous wastes and chemicals, and degradation of global environmental commons, including past and recent efforts to combat climate change. Although prior exposure to international law and national environmental law is useful, this course has no prerequisites for enrollment.

A Military Widow and Her Community Find Solace in Running
The marathon of grief is a run without a finish line. You put one foot in front of the other, push through the pain, and run forward for someone who no longer can. For Lisa Hallett, sometimes running forward is all she has to cope with the loss of her husband.
Lisa's husband, Captain John Hallett of the 5-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team, was killed in Afghanistan in 2009. He is just one of more than 6,000 U.S. military personnel killed in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001.
"Running right now is the same as running when John was alive or running after he died," Hallett said. "There's no difference. My heart ache is different, what I can listen to on the radio is different, but my identity as a runner doesn't change. The purpose behind why I run changes, but running is still putting one foot in front of the other, owning the distance, and pushing forward."
And after John's death, Lisa found solace in running. Between taking care of their three small children and rebuilding a life without John, going on a run was the one way Lisa could handle her grief. She soon realized that many other widows felt the same way.
Lisa helped create a running club with other widows in her community of DuPont, Washington. The club, called "wear blue: run to remember," has now grown from about a dozen women to hundreds of people, all running to honor the memory of loved ones lost in combat.
Lisa's story of resilience is the subject of a new documentary by Glenn Anderson, a senior producer for the BBC's Washington Bureau. Anderson says the film and the group of runners that grew out of a community's grief.
"The story is really about how this community was formed," says Anderson. "It wasn't just Lisa's loss or the loss of John Hallett, but the unit he was in lost 41 men. This was a community that is very close to Joint Base Lewis-McChord in DuPont, Washington, and they were hurting. They came together, and they found solace in running."
While Anderson's documentary focuses on Lisa, he says her story is just one of many in the community, and across the globe. Though thousands of U.S. soldiers have died, reports show that the total number of Afghani civilians who have died in the armed conflict has reached about 14,728.
"There weren't a lot of stories about the families—there were a lot of stories about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars out there, but not a lot about the home front," says Anderson. "But it's not just an American story; I think a lot of people around the world can relate to this."
The running club, in a way, was founded so that others could relate to each other while dealing with the most harrowing side effect of war: Losing a loved one.
"They found mutual support, they found friendship, and they accomplishment," says Anderson. "It helped the healing process and it helped the community. Lisa is just one example of someone who's thrived."
While the military also offers support for grieving families, the running club provides a different kind of aid.
"Casualty Assistance Officers are there to help with those practical concerns and be the liaison for all of the military things that need to be done," says Anderson. "But when they go home, there's still a role to fill."
The running club offers those suffering from loss "something tangible to rally behind," Lisa tells Anderson. Hitting the pavement for a run was a regular coping mechanism used by Lisa in the face of difficulty. In February 2010, she and about 12 other women met in a Burger King parking lot and from there the idea for the club was born.
"We stood around and looked at each other, and the we pushed out into a run," she says. "Something that really kept me driving forward in the beginning is that my children have lost one parent—it wouldn't be fair to them to lose a second parent to grief. I am learning that as much as John and I shared a story as John and Lisa Hallett, that I have my own story and a life as a woman."
Throughout the film, Anderson glides alongside Lisa on several runs, using roller blades to keep up and have a steady shot.
"I did these runs with her and it makes you think—it gives you time to both clear your mind and think about the important things," says Anderson. "There's no better time to think, to stop and contemplate your future, to remember the past fondly and grow as a person than when you're out there getting that exercise. It's a very free, liberating thing. It's a personal thing, but it's also a group thing. That's the story that we're trying to tell—there's hope, there's life, there's joy after loss."

Tens of thousands of rail commuters suffered major disruption into King's Cross today after problems with the overhead power lines at St Neots.
There will be major disruption all day with services home this evening also affected.
Late last night more than one kilometre of 25,000 cables were dragged down after they became caught in the overhead pantograph arm of a passing train.
They crashed across the train and all four lines but there were no injuries.
Stranded passengers were walked along the track to safety from one train and another towed back to Peterborough by a diesel engine.
In London, King's Cross station remained open all night as passengers trying to get home - including football fans from the Arsenal v Bayern Munich match - refused to leave an East Coast main line train.
The decision was taken to let them stay on the train and in the station all night.
It's just eight days since overhead lines collapsed near Radlett causing three days of major disruption into St Pancras International station.
In the latest incident there was no direct service on the East Coast main line between Kings Cross and Peterborough in either direction throughout the morning peak.
A limited service is expected later with diesel hauled trains replacing electric services.
First Capital Connect (FCC) services were suspended between Biggleswade and Peterborough.
Buses replaced trains between the two stations adding up to an hour to journeys.
Grand Central and First Hull Trains are running to and from London but with half hour delays.
All passengers using services to and from King's Cross are advised to check with their train company for travel updates.
A spokeswoman for Network Rail confirmed there would be disruption to services all day.
She said: "A driver of a passing train reported lines down at 21.27 last night.
"Services were halted on all four lines."
Engineers are on site but it is not known how long repairs will take.
FCC through-London services (Thameslink) suffered further disruption due to a signal failure at Purley.
Gatwick Express services were forced to run half-hourly instead of every 15 minutes to and from Victoria.
Southern services, including the Brighton line, were delayed by up to 15 minutes.

Global Ocean Race - Significant changes in store
by Global Ocean Race on 3 Apr 2014
Marco Nannini and Sergio Frattaruolo thunder towards the finish line and second place during the Global Ocean Race 2011-12 Global Ocean Race ©
Global Ocean Race organisers have revealed some significant changes to their event today. In response to a clear demand from potential entrants to shorten the event's overall timespan and further reduce the costs of competing in the GOR, an exciting and challenging new format has been created. In addition, to provide more time for prospective entries to line up on the race start line, the event has been postponed for one calendar year to September 2015.
'Whilst the Global Ocean Race is already the most cost-effective competitive round-the-world race, we have consistently been asked by sailors to make it even more so and to reduce the time the event takes,' explains Josh Hall, GOR Race Director. 'As a predominantly owner-driver event we appreciate these desires and want the race to evolve into a popular format. Therefore, we have decided to strip out all of the time and cost-intensive stopovers except for one – Auckland,' confirms Hall.
'We know from previous GOR's that the boats are perfectly capable of longer legs from a reliability perspective,' Hall continues. 'So the next GOR will have just two legs reducing race duration to less than six months and saving each race project an average of 50,000 Euros. This new format certainly increases the challenge for the sailors which in turn, we believe, will increase its following,' says Hall.
To ensure that existing and potential entries have sufficient time to prepare for this new format, it has been decided to postpone the race start to September 2015. The re-vamped GOR will be open to solo and double-handed entrants and the event already has a healthy list of international sailors keen to compete.
'The GOR 2015-16 will revert to our original two divisions of solo and double-handed teams,' says Hall. 'Recent years have been incredibly difficult for all sponsored events and with such a long cycle between races it is very important that we get the format and timing right for the next GOR. Moving the race start to 2015 means that more projects have more time to enter our event, our race partners have a longer involvement and, importantly, we avoid clashing with the Route du Rhum, Volvo Ocean Race and Barcelona World Race. The race will have an extended stopover in Auckland across the Christmas/New Year period permitting the fleet to regroup, prepare properly for Leg 2 and for the sailors to catch up with their families and business interests appropriately,' Hall concludes.
Race Start Southampton, UK, September 2015
Stopover The Waterfront, Auckland estimated dates December 15th 2015 - Mid January 2016
Race Finish Portsmouth Harbour, UK, ETA end of March

Concentration through Taekwondo
by Caleb Gaines
(Clarkesville, GA USA)
Concentration through Taekwondo
This photo was taken in the kids taekwondo class at the local YMCA.
I've been looking for a chance to get some good photos on the older youths in the class. Upon seeing two of the higher belts going through Dan-Gun with such concentration really impressed me.
What strikes me the most about this photo is that the young boy in the foreground hadn't been too serious that evening, but then in an instant he just got his focus and did extremely well.
Deb's reply:
Thanks Caleb for submitting this great photo. You have captured this boy's deep focus perfectly.
It amazes me too how good taekwondo instructors get even quite young kids to switch on their brains and learn really complicated moves.
You photo illustrates this much better than any words can.
Thanks again!

British Columbia Considers Carbon-Neutral Construction By 2020
"The proposal is tucked inside the report from the B.C. Climate Action Team released last week, a document that the government commissioned but is not obliged to accept. But the move to carbon-neutral housing would cause a revolution in how housing stock will be built. In its purest form, it would see housing constructed with built-in power supplies - either solar panels, wind turbines or geothermal sources."
"New designs that limit energy requirements, such as shaded windows, and energy-efficient appliances are part of the equation. The proposal to the province also urges the government to build some flexibility into the carbon-neutral requirement by allowing communities to build green energy sources to power individual residences."
"The official estimates that building a carbon-neutral house will cost anywhere from 5 per cent to 20 per cent more than conventional models. With the average house price in Greater Vancouver hovering around $556,000, the added expense could top $100,000."

The title says it all. On Monday a former police chief and marine was charged with the murder of a marine back in 1972. This happened in the same city I am in but 12 years before my time. The last couple of months, a reporter has been doing stories on unsolved homicides in the Sunday papers in hopes of somebody remembering something or coming forward with new information. It payed off this week when this POS was finally arrested and charged.
I know times were different back then, but how does somebody commit murder, be looked at as a suspect but have a lack of evidence against them, and then go into a career in law enforcement?

That is why there is no statutory limit on murder,even tho it's 36 years later they will spend the rest of their lives in prison if convicted.There are many cases that the detectives know who did it they just can't prove it with the evidence they have at the time

I know that my town back in the day was probably a little backwoods and didn't have access to things that we may use today with no problem. Do you think that if he would have been polygraphed before being hired as a LEO that he would have been caught? I would guess that "Have you ever committed a murder?" would be one of the questions asked during an exam.

4 Ways Driverless Cars Might Actually Change Your Life
"As much as driving realizes society through transporting people to join together at meetings, it is also a form of moving together." -- John Urry & Margaret Grieco
As technology continues to change the world around us, we're seeing the effects everywhere: At work, in politics, our relationships, and even in the search for extraterrestrial life. We seem to be living on the brink of society as we know it and "the future"-- the idealized, chrome-laden period full of medical marvels, flying cars, and self-lacing shoes.
One of the most exciting and futuristic developments so far are driverless cars. There is tons of information available about the effects these self-driving autos will have on our society, but I found myself asking questions about the ways driverless cars will change individual lives. How might they affect our relationships?
I came up with four ways driverless cars might change our experiences on the road.
1. Doing your makeup on the go will no longer be a potentially suicidal mission
Maybe you've done it, or maybe you've watched in horror as another driver haphazardly applied mascara while doing 70 on the interstate. In either case, it's clear that safe driving and makeup application do not mix. However, introduce a self-driving car into the mix, and suddenly you can be Bobbi Brown on the freeway and make it to work on time without raccoon eyes. Win-win.
2. That fender bender couldn't possibly be your fault, right?
You know that awful feeling you get when you accidentally back into someone's car and think about your resulting car insurance rate hike? Forget all about it and rest easy. Since you won't be in control of your car when driverless cars are the norm, any future fender benders are highly unlikely and definitely not your fault. Doesn't that feel good? This is kind of like therapy.
3. You're never too drunk to ride
Arguments over who will be the designated driver may become a thing of the past. Although it's probably not wise to get too inebriated when you're headed somewhere outside your home; you'll be able to avoid DUIs and all but remove the danger from those 1am Taco Bell runs. After all, riding while drunk isn't nearly as perilous as driving drunk.
4. Leisurely rides > stressful navigation
I think the book Mobilities: New Perspectives on Transport and Society said it best: "Social life in the car is full of necessary pauses and interruptions when the driver's attention, and sometimes that of the passengers, has to turn to controlling the vehicle."
Remove the stress of navigating, and suddenly, being in the car becomes a lot like sitting on a (moving) couch together. This will give you significantly more time to debate over where you'll eat dinner that night without the pesky interruption of confusing lane merges.
Will driverless cars introduce more significant changes to our lives than those I've outlined here? Definitely. But because of the car's importance in our social lives and relationships, it's just as important to think about the small changes that will result from such an innovative implementation. Until then, stay safe out there--buckle up and step away from the mascara wand.

It's the REV 96.7 ROCKTAGON – Fueled by THE BOULDER TAP HOUSE!!
Champion: Korn
Never Never
Korn (stylized as KoЯn) is an American nu metal band from Bakersfield, California, formed in 1993. The band's current lineup includes five members: Jonathan Davis, Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu, James "Munky" Shaffer, Brian "Head" Welch, and Ray Luzier. Korn was originally formed by three of the members of the band L.A.P.D.
Korn released their first demo album, Neidermayer's Mind, in 1993. The band later went on to release their self-titled debut album in 1994, followed by Life Is Peachy in 1996. The band experienced mainstream success with Follow the Leader (1998) and Issues (1999), both of which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The band's mainstream success continued with Untouchables (2002) and Take a Look in the Mirror (2003).
A compilation album, Greatest Hits Vol. 1, was released in 2004, spanning a decade of singles and concluding the band's recording contract with Immortal Records and Epic Records. They signed to Virgin Records, releasing See You on the Other Side in 2005, and an untitled album in 2007. Korn's latest albums, Korn III: Remember Who You Are (2010) and The Path of Totality (2011), were released via Roadrunner Records.
Korn has sold around 35 million copies worldwide. Eleven of the band's official releases have peaked in the top ten of the Billboard 200, eight of which have peaked in the top five. Eight official releases are certified Platinum or Multi-Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and one is certified Gold. Korn has released seven video albums and thirty-nine music videos. The band has released forty-one singles, twenty-eight of which have charted. Korn has earned two Grammy Awards out of seven nominations. The band has received two MTV Video Music Awards from eleven nominations. Korn will release 'The Paradigm Shift' in stores and via digital retailers on October 1 on Prospect Park.
Contender: Alter Bridge
Alter Bridge is an American rock band from Orlando, Florida, formed in 2004. The lineup consists of Myles Kennedy (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Mark Tremonti (lead guitar, backing vocals), Brian Marshall (bass), and Scott Phillips (drums, percussion). Since the band's formation, there have been no line-up changes.
Following the break-up of Creed in 2004, former members Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips began working with Kennedy, formerly of The Mayfield Four. Naming the new band after a bridge that once existed on Alter Road near Tremonti's former home, Alter Bridge released their debut album One Day Remains to mixed reviews the same year. One Day Remains would go on to be certified Gold by the RIAA. Driven by the release of the single "Rise Today", the band released their second album Blackbird to more positive reviews in 2007, with the band embarking on a world tour in support.
Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips reunited with Creed for a tour and album in 2009, while Kennedy recorded two songs for guitarist Slash's solo album in 2010, before fronting his solo band for a supporting tour. During this time, Alter Bridge continued to write material, and they released their third album AB III in 2010 to critical acclaim, with the single "Isolation" becoming the band's most successful single to date. The band embarked on a world tour in support of AB III from late 2010 to early 2012.
The members of Alter Bridge returned to focus on other projects, most of which released albums in 2012: Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips toured with Creed; Tremonti released a solo album titled All I Was and formed a solo band that briefly featured Marshall; Kennedy continued his collaboration with Slash, releasing the album Apocalyptic Love; and Phillips formed the supergroup Projected with members of Sevendust and Submersed, releasing an album called Human. The following year, Alter Bridge announced that the band's fourth album entitled Fortress is to be released in September 2013, with an accompanying tour commencing that October.

AnnArbor.com competition
Rivals step up online and in print
by Vickie Elmer
From the July, 2009 issue
Heritage Newspapers, which publishes the Saline Reporter, the Chelsea Standard, and other area papers, will debut its weekly A2 Journal on July 9, less than two weeks before AnnArbor.com 's July 20 launch. Heritage, whose parent company is in bankruptcy reorganization, isn't saying much about the Journal but promises a free home-delivered circulation of 20,000. Editor Michelle Rogers also oversees seven weeklies in Washtenaw and Wayne counties.
Online, AnnArbor.com, the successor to the Ann Arbor News, will compete for ads and news with an expanded AnnArborChronicle.com, launched last year by former News opinion editor Mary Morgan. Though she and her husband, Dave Askins, remain the Chronicle's only staff, they have begun to employ freelance writers and commission-only salespeople, and Morgan says they hope to soon begin covering high school sports.
AnnArbor.com's staff will be tiny compared to the News, but next to the Chronicle and other online competitors, it's a giant. Tony Dearing, the chief content officer, says he's hiring between thirty-one and thirty-five full-time and part-time "digital journalists." There will also be some local "experts," including former Shaman Drum owner Karl Pohrt.
Dearing says he expects to produce at least four "major investigations or [research] project reports" a year. News director Amalie Nash, a respected News veteran, is already working on early enterprise stories to set "a tone that this is a serious journalism site," says Nash. "You need to start out strong."
One big challenge will be balancing the divergent demands of a 24/7 website with those of a traditional printed newspaper. While research shows people "don't want to read more than 100 words online," says Nash. AnnArbor.com will publish Thursday and Sunday print editions that will have longer features, profiles, and more standard newspaper stories.
The Thursday paper will bring back the Spotlight entertainment tabloid, along with food and home features, prep sports, and previews of weekend games, as well as more "look-ahead" stories on events and issues,
says Dearing.
The Sunday paper, also to be called AnnArbor.com, will have a section devoted to local news, opinion, and editorials. The second section may be national and international news, Dearing says, and there will be a robust sports section, too, plus entertainment, travel coverage, and "one or two general interest columns."
Laurel Champion, outgoing News publisher and executive vice president of the new company, says print subscriptions will cost $9 a month, a bit less than the News's current Sunday price. (AnnArbor.com subscribers can opt for Sunday only, but there's no discount-so the Thursday paper is essentially free.) Those who currently get the News delivered will have their subscriptions transferred to AnnArbor.com unless they opt out. Dearing says AnnArbor.com hopes to match the News's Sunday circulation-54,000 as of March 31, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, with about half of that home-delivered in and around Ann Arbor.
While the News tried to be a regional paper, covering all of Washtenaw County and beyond, Nash says AnnArbor.com "will be kind of hyper-local, pretty Ann Arbor-centric." Her reporters will cover police and crime, city hall, the Ann Arbor Public Schools, and U-M, but are likely to skip most Saline and Ypsilanti stories or use freelancers for them.
Arts and entertainment news will be produced mainly by freelance writers, and readers or nonprofit organizations will be asked to "contribute news or calendar items," says Nash. They also hope to strike partnership arrangements with the Chronicle and other media outlets to share their online stories via an RSS feed.
There may be more such deals in the future. "It's going to be wild and chaotic for a while," the Chronicle's Morgan says. She expects to see "more choices" for news and information as other former News staffers start up their own sites.
While web publications are easy to launch, Tom Gantert, a News writer, thinks that the upstarts may have trouble holding out against the deep pockets of the Newhouse family, which owns the News and AnnArbor.com. Gantert believes nonprofit journalistic enterprises such as the Michigan Messenger may be one future possibility.
Gantert himself is pursuing investors for a conservative political online outlet. "There's a ton of interest," he says. "But I need to have someone write the check."

Ted Kennedy, 1932-2009
posted at 7:32 am on August 26, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Ted Kennedy lost his battle with brain cancer last night and died at the age of 77. Kennedy, whose life was marked with tragedies and losses as well as self-inflicted scandals but also with legislative victories and power, had been ill for the last year, and had missed most of the 2009 session of Congress as a result:
Edward M. Kennedy, one of the most powerful and influential senators in American history and one of three brothers whose political triumphs and personal tragedies captivated the nation for decades, died late Tuesday at his home in Hyannis Port, Mass., at age 77. He had been battling brain cancer.
His family announced his death in a brief statement released early Wednesday. "We've lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism, and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever," the statement said. "We thank everyone who gave him care and support over this last year, and everyone who stood with him for so many years in his tireless march for progress toward justice, fairness and opportunity for all." …
Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat, was the last male survivor of a privileged and charismatic family that in the 1960s dominated American politics and attracted worldwide attention. His sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founder of the Special Olympics, died two weeks ago, also in Hyannis Port. One sibling, former U.S. ambassador to Ireland Jean Kennedy Smith, is still alive.
As heir through tragedy to his accomplished older brothers — President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.), both of whom were assassinated — Edward Kennedy became the patriarch of his clan and a towering figure in the U.S. Senate to a degree neither of his siblings had been.
That last is a little unfair to John and Robert, who were both assassinated before their parents had died. Had they survived, John and and then Robert would almost certainly have assumed that role. Both deaths were American tragedies, but they were deeply personal tragedies for all of the Kennedys, and Ted had that role thrust upon him to a large extent through two assassins' bullets.
As Michelle says, we will have plenty of time to analyze Kennedy's life and work, but today is a day to give comfort to Kennedy's family. They will be in my prayers.
Update: Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, issued this statement:
"It is with great sadness that Elaine and I note the passing of Senator Ted Kennedy, one of the giants of American political life, a longtime Senate colleague, and a friend.
"No one could have known the man without admiring the passion and vigor he poured into a truly momentous life. We send our deepest expressions of sympathy to Vicki, his children, and the entire Kennedy family."

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Coming off a tough 1-0 loss to the Rangers, the Bruins were still in good shape. If they beat the Flyers on the second game of a back-to-back Sunday, they would clinch a playoff spot for the fourth straight year. Mission accomplished.
After falling behind 1-0, the resilient Bruins scored two unanswered goals, capped off by Brad Marchand's 20th goal in the third period to beat the Flyers 2-1, improving to 3-0-1 against Philly this season after last year's playoff embarrassment.
"There's been pressure on him to get the 20th and a great way to get it is a game winner," said Mark Recchi, who assisted on the goal.
Marchand's goal came after Flyers captain Mike Richards hit the penalty box for a high-sticking call. The rookie stuffed home a rebound off Dennis Seidenberg's slap shot.
Philly's Kris Versteeg scored his 20th to open the scoring, but Tim Thomas tightened up after that, coming up with several nifty stops. He finished with 27 saves to improve to 10-2-2 against the Flyers in his career.
Nathan Thornton scored his 23rd goal of the year on the power play in the second period. Aside from the two blunders, Flyers goalie Brian Boucher was solid, finishing with 34 saves.
The Bruins are now in the driver's seat for the division title, and are just four points behind the second place Capitals in the East. Next up for the B's is a Tuesday night battle with the Blackhawks.

Greenville native writes tale of addiction, redemption
There's an old maxim that maintains an artist must suffer for her art. If that's true, Susan Brace Lovell has a lot to write about.
Her recently published book, "The Sandpiper," is informed by the suffering of growing up in a family plagued with the disease of alcoholism. Though fictional, much of the book's material is drawn from Lovell's real life experiences.
Lovell, who has written several unpublished novels prior to this work, says the book is an attempt to establish open discussions about alcoholism.
"Alcoholism has been part of my environment for as long as I can remember," Lovell said. "Alcoholism has been in my environment since I was born in Greenville in 1938. Nobody called it that back then and surely not (my) family."
When Lovell was only seven, her mother moved to California. It was the last time the two would live together. Lovell's daughters, now grown and with five graduate degrees between them, also have had their problems with the bottle and are both in recovery programs.
All of these things and more have given Lovell the ability to write about the topic with authority and a wisdom evinced only by one who has been on the inside of the issue, has lived it daily.
"This book it totally fiction," Lovell said. "(The) characters are all in my head and now the readers' heads, but what the disease does to a family does come from experience. If I have a mission in this it's to get our world to understand and treat alcoholism (and) addiction not as a shame/sin/moral failing but for just what it is: A disease."
Lovell describes alcoholism is an allergy to alcohol, much as some people are allergic to shellfish or pollen.
"My mother's and our daughters' brains can't process alcohol," Lovell said. "It's that simple."
Though some passages of the book are unrelentingly grim, the overall message is one of hope. Lovell, who describes herself as a "full-blooded optimist" simply won't allow for failure and unhappy endings.
The book is about good people making hard choices and eventually, doing the right thing.
"I can't help believing good things will happen," Lovell said, noting that the book has its share of whimsical moments. "There has to be some (humor) because we can't do life without it."
According to Lovell, the book took a while to complete. While she describes herself as a "fast writer," she admits her "real life" — husband, daughters, grandchildren and consulting job with the Wege Foundation — comes first
Writing fiction, she says, is a luxury for those moments when she has some extra time on her hands. So it might be some time before readers can expect her next book, "A Rainbow in the Sky," which picks up the story four years after "The Sandpiper" ends.
Lovell's book is available at Robbins Book List in downtown Greenville, where she has a book signing scheduled for Tuesday from 4 to 5:30 p.m.
Kevin Powell, who manages Robbins Book List, describes the book as "Highly informative, sometimes entertaining, and brutally honest.
"'The Sandpiper' is going to hopefully open the eyes and hearts of those who don't understand what addiction really is; a disease," Powell said. "Close family and best friends often don't realize the horrible torture an addict lives with every day. This book will change that."
"The Sandpiper" also is available at Schuler's Books in Grand Rapids and from Amazon in both paperback and eBook formats.

Government sues owners of Chrin landfill for clean-up
WILLIAMS TWP., Pa. - A controversial landfill in Northampton County is now being sued by the federal government.
The feds say they've spent nearly half-a-million dollars cleaning up toxic waste at the Chrin landfill between 1997 and January of this year.
They say Chrin Brothers Incorporated and several companies that sent hazardous waste to the dump site are responsible for those costs.
A Chrin spokesperson issued the following statement:
"These actions, and in particular the proposed settlement agreement, is a very positive step for all involved and the level of communication and cooperation among the parties has been commendable. This latest action follows the 1997 settlement and addresses the issue of cost-recovery by the government for overseeing the cleanup. EPA now will publish notice of the consent decree in the Federal Register and invite comments. The consent decree will also pave the way for establishing ongoing controls that will allow EPA to make the determination that the remedial action goals have been met such that the site can be removed from the Federal Superfund list."
The landfill is located on Industrial Drive in Williams Township.

Happy President's Day, people.
We've got a mixed bag this morning, so here goes:
Pastor Corey Brooks, otherwise known as the "Rooftop Pastor," has said he will baptize Chief Keef when the rapper is released from juvenile detention.
Speaking of youth, Wendell Hutson has a story about a potential lawsuit against CPS for not teaching black history and the Tribune wrote about parental input in which schools get closed.
Former Medill classmate Anthony Ponce reports about gas prices in Chicago reaching historic highs for February.
ABC has a piece about two young women killed over the weekend in separate shootings. The sister of one of the victims had just sat behind President Obama during his speech about gun violence here in Chicago.
Many shooting victims are taken to the hospital in an ambulance, but a BGA investigation shows that the city's ambulances are in rough shape.
On a more upbeat note, Decatur student Derek Jones's love of history could net him a $50,000 scholarship.
Former U.S. Rep Jesse Jackson's tenure as a public servant appears to be history, but the race for his successor is heating up with just over a week to go. State Sen. Toi Hutchinson dropped out of the race-a decision that prompted a sharp reaction from Debbie Halvorson, according to the Sun-Times. Halvorson said opponent Robin Kelly should "come clean."
The Associated Press had a story about ex-wardens talking about the safety hazards of mixing inmate groups.
DNAInfo.com had a piece about a study on Chicago's Puerto Rican community.
Oh, and by the way, the NBA All-Star Game took place yesterday. Chris Paul took home MVP honors as the West prevailed over the East, 143-138. Our reporting team had extensive coverage of the event.

Catching the Computing Wave
By Suzanne Montague, Vice President of Information TechnologyResearch is a hot topic at UT Arlington. The Office of Information Technology (OIT) is partnering with the Office of Research to provide researchers with high-performance computing tools and resources for those who require intensive number-crunching capabilities.
In the Spring of 2007, a new and improved High Performance Users Group was created to give researchers the opportunity to define needs and set the future for high performance computing services at UT Arlington. The group will meet at least twice a year (fall/ spring), with additional meetings as determined to be of value. Not only does the Users Group provide the ability to give input, it is an excellent setting to share information and perhaps generate ideas for future projects. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Users Group, please send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. We will be happy to add you to the Listserv so you can receive news and information about future meetings.
There are two excellent avenues for UT Arlington researchers to take advantage of high-performance computing services. The first option involves high-performance computing equipment at UT Arlington, where we have around 304 processors and 10 TB of aggregate storage. For more information, please visit http://hpc.uta.edu/. This fall, one of the topics of the High Performance User´s Group meeting will be the new equipment that was installed over the summer.
The second option is provided by the University of Texas Board of Regents, who funded a large computing system through the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), located at the J.J. Pickle facility at UT Austin. TACC has two large HPC systems available to UT Arlington researchers, Lonestar is available now and Ranger should be available in January 2008. For more information, please visit http://www.tacc.utexas.edu/. Click on ´New Users´ to learn about the steps to request allocation of services from TACC.

Tuesday 30 May 2017
The IASB and FASB discussed the business model assessment for amortised cost classification for financial assets and bifurcation of financial assets and financial liabilities. Business model assessment for amortised cost classification for financial assetsThe boards tentatively decided that financial assets would qualify for amortised cost if the objective of the business model is to hold those assets to collect contractual cash flows. The boards tentatively decided to clarify the primary objective of 'hold to collect' by providing additional implementation guidance on both the types of business activities and the frequency and nature of sales that would prohibit financial assets from qualifying for amortised cost measurement. All IASB members and four FASB members agreed. Bifurcation of financial assets and financial liabilitiesThe boards tentatively decided that financial assets with cash flows that are not solely principal and interest would not be eligible for bifurcation. Instead, they would be classified and measured in their entirety at fair value through profit or loss. The boards tentatively decided that financial liabilities would be bifurcated using their existing bifurcation requirements in IFRS 9 and US GAAP. The IASB also confirmed that the 'own credit' requirements in IFRS 9 would be retained. The FASB will discuss 'own credit' presentation requirements at a future FASB-only meeting. Eleven IASB members and five FASB members agreed.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I used to be a "quanity is better than quality" advocate, and have filled up the sewing room/garbage can with cheap thread, cheap rippers, cheap scissors, cheap fabric over the years. For the last few years, I buy quality, on sale of course, I also try not to buy anything "made in China". It seems that my need for "stuff" has been reduced, as when I see the "made in China" sticker, I put it back. The only time it comes home with me is when there is no substitute easily found.
If life gives you lemons, make a margarita.
Frugal or Extravagant. First of all frugal does not mean cheap. Frugal means getting a good value, or making good use of what you have, and not being wasteful. I am frugal.
I look for things on sale, especially if it is something I know I am going to need but don't have to have it immediately. I can take my time and watch for a sale, or if it isn't going to ever be on sale save up for it,similar to the example of the cashmere coat, but most things retail will eventually be on sale. LQS may not mark down fabrics but may offer a percent off, or a free fq as a special. Fabric if it is too thin, or woven to loose it isn't worth putting into a quilt even at fifty cents a yard, as it won't hold up too long. If I am going to invest time in it, then I would want it to last long enough to be of use to recipient. If I need something I'll only need once the least it costs as long as it lasts the one time the better. And if one buys expensive fabric, and uses the leftovers or passes them on, frugal, vs. one who buys cheap fabric and tosses out the leftover strips, and pieces, they are wasteful. Even if they wouldn't be a good use in a time consuming quilt, someone could use them for something, even a teacher for art projects/classes.
The bells and whistles, whether appliance, vehicle etc. if you would never use them, then to buy it for status is a waste. But if they are things one would use and it makes it a better experience it is not a waste of money.

In addition there's no voltage monitoring either – this can be done considering the unit is powered by a Molex which contains -12V, +12V and +5V

I have never really seen the point in Fan controllers personally.

Would a polarized film over the front panel help with reading the display?

This isn't just an ordinary wireless keyboard. It is the world's first environmentally friendly wireless solar keyboard by Logitech. Powered by light and built from fully recyclable plastic, this super-slim keyboard that only measures at 1/3 of an inch boasts dual solar panels that sits on both side of the Logitech logo on top of the keys. It keeps the keyboard charged while you type without the hassle of battery replacement. With plug and play simplicity, just plug in the USB receiver and you can start typing.
Logitech puts in a lot of effort when it comes to the environment and no doubt about it when it comes to the K750. A great innovation in typing technology, the keyboard has a PVC-free chassis and even its packaging is made from recycled material. The dual solar panels on top of the keys power the integrated ML2032 lithium manganese button-cell rechargeable battery that then pushes power to the keyboard. The solar panels can also draw perpetual power from artificial light sources--in other words, you don't have to raise the keyboard to the sun for it to work; the fluorescent bulbs above you will charge it just fine. Logitech claims that a single 2-hour charge will retain power for three months in total darkness, or more if you remember to flip the on/off switch when you step away.
The K750 uses Logitech's PerfectStroke key design that adds exactly 3.2mm of space between each key and uniform tactile feedback across the entire concave key surface. In practice, the key response is similar to that of an IBM ThinkPad laptop, so if you're used to typing on a regular keyboard, the K750 will be an acquired taste. Your accuracy might suffer in the interim, but we actually found ourselves typing faster after less than a week of using it.
With USB ports quickly filling up with hardwired peripherals like speakers, mice, and Webcams, we're happy to see that the K750 integrates Logitech's 2.4GHz Unifying USB microreceiver. The Mini-USB plug sticks out less than an inch from any standard USB and can work in conjunction with up to six other Logitech input devices for up to 10 meters away from the source.
With an exception of an integrated palm rest and glossy black chassis that reveals fingerprints and scratches, overall this eco-friendly affordable keyboard will definitely help you to reduce energy consumption and save money by not investing in batteries. Unlike the mechanical keyboards currently popular in the peripheral market, this input device uses scissor switches underneath that register key presses with a lighter touch, and give the additional benefit of low noise and comfort.

Comics fans in a tizzy over adult Archie's demise
By DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent | July 15. 2014 8:11PM
Jason Thomas, owner of Shield Comics in Meredith, holds a standard Archie comic book in which Archie remains alive. (DAN SEUFERT/Union Leader Correspondent)
Montana had graduated from Manchester High School Central in 1940, attending one year there.
That adult Archie's death comes in Wednesday's issue of "Life with Archie," which concludes what some say was a "reality-show" version of the squeaky-clean, all-American character. Archie dies when he intervenes in an murder try on Archie Comics' first openly gay character. The comic is said to have a pro-gun control message.
"It's kind of sad," she said. "I don't think there's any need to kill Archie off. I love the way he was always portrayed by (Montana) as an innocent teenager. For some reason they decided to put all of these adult issues into his life, though Bob tried to do that as well at times."
The death does not involve the newspaper comic strip, where teen Archie lives on.
Comic book stores around the state have been telling people not to worry. "That's just one Archie they are killing," said Thomas. "There will still be plenty of Archie comics for people to read."
"It's a cash-and-grab move to sell more comics, comic book makers kill off characters all the time," he said.
"Is Superman dead?" he asked.

Too Many Cars, Not Enough Driveways in Austin
"The Leander City Council hoped last summer that an amendment to its parking ordinance would help beautify the town, but it instead ended up causing headaches for some residents left with nowhere to park in their neighborhoods.
Tonight, the council will discuss ways to fix the amendment, which passed unanimously in July and is meant to get people to stop parking on their lawns. The ordinance prohibits residents from parking on unpaved surfaces.
But the new rules have unintentionally made it complicated for some residents to find a lawful place for their vehicles, council members said.
'We have some old driveways that are only one single car width,' resident Bill Finley said of his County Glen neighborhood. 'There are multiple vehicles that don't have any place to park. It's a nightmare shuffling the cars around.'
Finley's neighborhood was built before the city imposed housing and road standards, so his streets are narrow and most of his neighbors have small driveways, if they have a paved driveway at all.
They can't park on the street because it obstructs the roadway. And they can't park on gravel driveways or the bar ditch in front of their homes anymore because it's now against the rules."
