Australian coach Mickey Arthur says all-rounder Dan Christian is making a strong case to be named in Australia's team for the Boxing Day Test against India.
Arthur and his four co-selectors will name a squad tomorrow which is likely to include top-order batsmen Shaun Marsh (back) and Shane Watson (hamstring), who are recovering from injuries.
Christian has been in blazing form for South Australia, scoring 475 Sheffield Shield runs at 59.37 this season.
Arthur said he was happy for Christian to play for Brisbane Heat in tonight's Big Bash League game at the Gabba against Melbourne Stars before joining a batting camp at the MCG tomorrow.
The three-day batting camp, supervised by Arthur and batting coach Justin Langer, includes Michael Clarke, Ricky Ponting, Mike Hussey, Brad Haddin, Marsh and Watson.
Current Test batsmen Phil Hughes, Usman Khawaja and David Warner and Test hopeful Ed Cowan are playing for a Cricket Australia Chairman's XI in a three-day game against India in Canberra this week.
While Watson is likely to be rushed back into the side at the expense of opener Hughes, uncertainty surrounds Watson's role.
Amid speculation the star all-rounder will be moved to the middle order because of his bowling workload, Watson is no certainty to bowl in next week's Melbourne Test and may play as a batsman only.
This could open the door for Christian to play the role of all-rounder and bat in the top six, at the expense of either Usman Khawaja, Mike Hussey or Ricky Ponting.
Arthur expressed confidence in veterans Ponting and Hussey today but added no one was guaranteed a game and they had to keep producing runs to be selected.
Arthur said he was unsure on the fitness of Watson and Marsh and this would be established overnight before the squad was announced tomorrow.
"Our preference for balance of the team is always to try to have an all-rounder and if we've got one who we think is capable of doing the job, he will play," Arthur said.
He also suggested that an extended squad maybe named tomorrow to allow those players under injury clouds to prove their fitness.
"It's always better to be decisive and select 12 but we're probably not in that position," he said.
"Guys like Marsh and Watson ... if ultimately selected, we will give them as much time as they possibly need to get themselves ready to play, so it might be a slightly enlarged squad for this one."
Arthur said playing back-to-back Tests in Melbourne (December 26-30) and Sydney (January 3-7) would be tough on a four-man bowling attack.
"I see the spinner (Nathan Lyon) bowling a huge amount more and we need to be able to fiddle some overs from our batters," Arthur said.
Arthur said his philosophy on picking a team included naming the best six batsmen, the best four bowlers and picking a keeper.
"Dan Christian has done superbly well for South Australia. Stats will tell you that he could possibly be in our top six batters," Arthur said.
"If you can get some overs out of your best six batsmen, then that's a bonus."

NTPP Report to Congress: Shift to bicycling and walking comes with infrastructure
For Immediate Release
Saint Paul, MN (June 25, 2014)-- The results of the first-ever experiment into the impact of pedestrian and bicycle investment on American communities, recently released, reveal that people will shift from driving to walking or biking if local infrastructure and programs enable it.
Since 2007, when the groundbreaking Nonmotorized Transportation Pilot Program (NTPP) began measuring the effect of new multi-use paths, bike lanes, pedestrian routes and trails in four test communities across the country, the growth in walking and biking in the test communities has been consistent and pronounced.
Established and funded by federal transportation legislation SAFETEA-LU (Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users) in 2005, NTPP set aside $100 million for biking and walking in four communities of varying size across the country – Columbia, Mo., Marin County, Calif., Minneapolis, Minn., and Sheboygan County, Wis.
The pilot program was championed by long-time Minnesota congressman, James Oberstar, who died in May and for whom memorial services are being held this week in Minnesota.
The latest findings from the pilot communities show that an estimated 85 million vehicle miles of travel were avoided between 2009 and 2013, relative to the 2007 baseline. The walking mode share across the four communities increased 16 percent from 2007 to 2013, while the bicycling mode share increased 44 percent over the same period.
In the Minneapolis area, walking increased an estimated 14 percent and bicycling increased an estimated 60 percent between 2007 and 2013, based on three-year rolling averages. These increases equate to an estimated 2.8 and 9.5 percent average annual growth rates for walking and bicycling.
In 2005, the Minneapolis-area pilot location had 38 miles of bike lanes and 57 miles of shared-use paths for bicycles and pedestrians. The NTPP funded an increase of 66 miles of on-street bike lanes, 29 miles of bicycles boulevards, and 3 miles of shared-use paths, as well as 1504 bike parking spaces and, through funding of Nice Ride Minnesota, 1554 bike-share bicycles.
Safety and Crash Rates
Of particular interest to transportation officials, however, will be the remarkable findings related to safety and crash rates. Despite large increases in biking and walking, the pilot communities collectively observed a 20 percent decline in the number of pedestrian fatalities and a 29 percent decline in the number of bicycle fatalities from 2002 to 2012. Pedestrian injury rates (incidents per number of trips) declined between 18 percent and 55 percent in each of the four communities. Bicycling injury rates declined between 8 and 38 percent in each of the four communities.
Fears over increases in crash rates have been a barrier to more widespread support for plans to increasing walking and biking activity. The NTPP study, with the unique research benefit of a baseline year of comparison, now provides the statistical information to allay those fears.
"What this pilot has proven is that providing a dedicated pathway for walking and biking greatly reduces accidents, and that conflicts between the various modes of travel are unnecessary if you build correctly," says Marianne Fowler, Rails to Trails Conservancy's senior vice president of federal relations and an architect of the NTPP. "But what we have also seen is that by drawing attention to biking and walking, and doing basic education among road users, you boost the level of awareness among drivers and riders and walkers to look out for each other. Good infrastructure and signage, along with public outreach and education, replaces conflict with a more harmonious transportation system where each mode has its own place."
The documented improvements in safety is a finding that is sure to interest U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx, who has indicated that making biking and walking a safer transportation option will be a focus of his administration.
"In transportation infrastructure terms, $25 million over four years is a relatively small amount of money," Fowler says. "The transformative impact of this dedicated investment is now firmly documented. With the evidence now in black and white before them, Congressional representatives across the nation must be compelled to recognize that continued investment in walking and biking represents terrific value for American taxpayers."
Access and Mobility
The NTPP findings also paint a compelling picture of the improvements in access and mobility provided by biking and walking infrastructure, a key indicator of a community's economic strength. More than 70 percent of all NTPP infrastructure projects connect to employment centers, schools, parks, and recreation areas.
In the Minneapolis area, the NTPP increased access to the bicycling network from 32 percent to 48 percent, including approximately 28,300 residents of color, 2,800 people living under the poverty line, and 922 households without a car (see map on page 36 of the report). These figures do not account for other key Minneapolis program investment that address cultural and economic gaps, such as the Community Partners Bike Library (operated by Cycles for Change), the Nice Ride Minnesota bicycle sharing program, or the launch of the SPOKES Bike Walk Connect Center in the Seward neighborhood.
Access to Bicycling in Minneapolis, page 36 of NTPP report
"The Minneapolis-area pilot location, known as Bike Walk Twin Cities, vastly expanded the network for bicycling and walking," said Barb Thoman, executive director of Transit for Livable Communities, which administered the Minneapolis-area pilot. "Our criteria for awarding funding included cost-effectiveness, addressing cultural and economic equity, and innovation. We also sought to build capacity for longer-term culture change toward non-motorized transportation. We're excited to see how the conversation about bicycling and walking is building on the pilot."

Beijing (XNA) Apr 13, 2014
China is using satellites and drones to detect air pollution around Beijing and the practice will be expanded, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said on Wednesday.
Satellites and drones, which can detect clandestine emissions and capture images with a resolution of up to 4 centimeters, have been used in the cities of Tangshan, Xingtai and Handan in north China's Hebei Province, a pollution-plagued region surrounding Beijing.
Since November, an anti-pollution campaign has covered nearly 25,000 enterprises, more than 33,000 construction sites and over 65,000 restaurants. As a result, nearly 2,000 small workshops were closed and 1,900 factories and enterprises punished.
The ministry has found that the majority of Chinese provinces and autonomous regions have inadequate measures to reduce pollution and have failed to impose environmental law.
A total of 141 companies were found to have broken laws nationwide and industrial pollution in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area was reduced as a result of the five-month campaign.

(CNSNews.com) -- When making the case for reducing the Department of Defense budget, Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass.), the current Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee said the Pentagon should not be "the world's military." Frank also said Americans are the "least useful people" to intervene in a non-western society militarily.
"It may be possible for a wealthy, western society, heavily to intervene in a non-western, non-white poor society and help them out but probably not us," Rep. Frank said while participating in a panel discussion at the libertarian CATO Institute about reducing the United States' defense budget.
"Given, much of what I think is unfair, the anger about America, the jealousies, whatever, we're often the least useful people to go in there and all we do is make people angrier at us."
Frank also claimed the Pentagon should not be the world's military.
"Our allies are telling us two things, first of all, you carry the defense burden. They're worried in Western Europe about terrorism coming from Afghanistan and how are they manifesting that worry? By Germany and England and everybody else cutting their military forces and withdrawing their military forces," Frank said.
"So, on the one hand it is our obligation to be the world's protector and we are pressed to do that. Well, they cut back on their military but on the other hand, they object to doing anything other than cutting the deficit. I will be again at the votes and they will talk about, 'well maybe it's time for the dollar not to be world's standard.' My answer to them is the Pentagon shouldn't be the world's military; if you really feel threatened, defend yourself," he added.
Frank also expressed disapproval of the proposed missile defense system supported by President Barack Obama and NATO which is designed to defend countries like Poland and Bulgaria. The system will reportedly cost approximately $273 million over 10 years.
"Who is aiming missiles at Poland and Bulgaria? Does any body have any idea? We're doing this apparently – it's kind of a feel good thing and it's very expensive therapy," said Frank.

My father's Webster's Dictionary (very well worn, obviously carried in his vest pocket around 1915 or so) uses very few words to define a word. I just looked up "grief."
This dictionary describes grief in two words: sorrow; misfortune. Yes I am sad as I write this column.

In Oral Chemo Era, Non-Adherence Problems May Only Get Worse
In Oral Chemo Era, Non-Adherence Problems May Only Get Worse
PHOENIX, Arizona-Noncompliance with cancer therapy is going to become a very serious issue as more chemotherapy drugs become available in oral formulations, according to Deborah Boyle, RN, MSN, AOCN, FAAN. "The growth of oral chemotherapy is expansive," said Ms. Boyle, a practice outcomes nurse specialist with Banner Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, Phoenix, Arizona. "I had an 'aha!' moment when discussing a patient with a radiation oncology colleague who specialized in breast cancer, when she posed the question, 'Has anyone ever thought of all the women who took adjuvant tamoxifen-how do we know they took their pills as prescribed?"' Tamoxifen Adherence A recent investigation that addressed this issue (J Clin Oncol 21:602- 606, 2003) found that the mean level of adherence to tamoxifen was actually somewhat higher than for other medications; however, nearly 25% of patients were at risk for inadequate clinical response resulting from poor adherence. Overall adherence had fallen to about 50% in year 4 of tamoxifen therapy in this study, which was based on a review of prescription records for about 2,400 women enrolled in New Jersey Medicaid or pharmaceuticalassistance programs. "We are making all these assumptions about how to base our treatment decisions, prognosis, and further therapy, and we don't even know if those patients took their pills the way they should have," Ms. Boyle said. "This is a huge issue with overwhelming significance in the future." The literature contains little guid-ance for clinicians on the issue of medication adherence specifically in elderly cancer patients, Ms. Boyle said (J Natl Cancer Inst 94:652-661, 2002). However, some studies of medication adherence do suggest that when an older person takes four or more drugs routinely, the clinician should assume that at least one of them is not being taken as directed. The extent to which patients misunderstand medication use can be significant. Ms. Boyle shared one anecdote regarding a home-care nurse whoasked an elderly patient about a large bowl of prescription pills on his dining room table. The elderly man explained that the bowl contained all his medications for the day; every time he walked through the dining room, he would grab a handful and take them. "All he knew was these pills have to get in this body over a 24-hour period," Ms. Boyle said. "He could see no problem with his way of dealing with that ongoing demand." Two or More Medications Per Day In general, the elderly take two medications daily, most commonly cardiovascular, analgesic, or central nervous system drugs, according to data presented by Ms. Boyle (J Am Geriatr Soc 50:26-34, 2002). The highest prevalence of medication use is among women over 65 years of age; 23% take at least five prescription drugs daily, and 12% take 10 drugs daily. Implications of nonadherence incancer can be serious. For example, a nonadherent patient's condition could worsen as a result of inadequate drug consumption. As a consequence, that patient might then have to undergo unnecessary diagnostic testing and even hospitalization. Additionally, changes in the dose or regimen might be made unnecessarily. Problems of Nonadherence Cancer patients who are nonadherent may require more doctor visits, more hospitalizations, and longer lengths of stay when they are hospitalized. The value of clinical trials may suffer, as well: nonadherence could lead to misleading results, inconsistent response rates, and potentially erroneous dosing recommendations. "There are a myriad of problems that need to be identified," Ms. Boyle said, including:
- What risk factors are associated with nonadherence?
- How do cost, anxiety, and memory and hearing impairments affect adherence?
- What strategies improve adherence? Ongoing education? Written reminders? Phone follow-up? Memoryenhancing devices?

CG auditorium draws large groups
When Susan Friberg organized the annual UCAR members meeting last year,
she was thrilled to hold it in the Center Green 1 auditorium. The 150
attendees would have been cramped in any other UCAR facility.
"It's such a comfortable space," she says. "It's
very easy to move people in and out, and the attendees can sit at small
tables and spread out, or wander in and out when they need to without
disrupting the meeting. We've gotten very positive feedback from
the members and affiliates."
Last year's meeting of the Inter-American
Institute for Global Change Research in the CG auditorium.
Last year's meeting of the Inter-American
Institute for Global Change Research in the CG auditorium.
Despite the auditorium's advantages, Safety and Site Services director
Steve Sadler says it's underutilized. Steve, who oversees Food
and Events Services, says staffers who are planning meetings may not
realize that the auditorium is open for business, even though many of
the offices in CG1 are still vacant.
"The auditorium is available, and there's a full complement
of food, beverage, and banquet facilities," Steve says. "This
is a great facility, and we're hoping more people take advantage
of it."
The 6,000-square-foot auditorium is UCAR's largest. It can accommodate
as many as 400 people, in contrast to the auditoriums in the Mesa and
Foothills labs that have a capacity of about 125. The CG space is also
more flexible because it does not have fixed seating, which means event
organizers can set up tables, rows of chairs, or even an exhibit area.
A recent conference about the High-performance Instrumented Airborne
Platform for Environmental Research (HIAPER) featured a model of the
new research aircraft.
And the auditorium is about to get a facelift. Plans are in the works
to renovate it, upgrade the lighting and multimedia capabilities, and
install movable walls so it can be subdivided into breakout rooms. Work
is likely to begin in the late summer and last for several months.
"It's a wonderful space, and we're looking forward
to renovating it and making it even more serviceable
for a number of groups," says Marion Hammond, UCAR's facilities
project manager.
The facility has drawn the attention of some outside organizations looking
for Boulder meeting space. Last June, for example, the Inter-American
Institute for Global Change Research held a daylong science forum in
the auditorium, bringing in scientists and policymakers from across the
"I like that room because it's quite a bit larger than anything
else we have at UCAR," says Jill Reisdorf of JOSS, who organized
the June conference and several other meetings in the facility last year. "The
size offers a versatility we don't have in our other auditorium-type
rooms. Also, the atrium lobby is a comfortable place for people to relax
and meet informally between sessions."
Even staffers who haven't attended formal sessions there may be
familiar with the space as the site of last year's Spring Fling
and holiday parties. Eron Brennan of IT, who handles multimedia services
for UCAR, points out, "It's a great party room."
Those interested in finding out more about the auditorium or reserving
it can contact Debbi Naugle of Food and Event Services at ext. 1147 or

Multi-Vehicle Accident with Rescue on Dulaney Valley Road in Lutherville: Rescue Box 30-20
January 24, 2012 - At approximately 3:10pm, Station 30 was alerted to respond to the report of a motor vehicle accident with rescue on Dulaney Valley Road at Ivy Church Road and the Baltimore County Police Pistol Range in Lutherville. Squad 303 and Engine 307 immediately responded and while en route, Division Chief 5 (DC5) was first to arrive on scene and advised a multi-vehicle accident with various patients, including one critically injured heavily entrapped. DC5 established command and immediately requested additional medical resources to the scene along with a Maryland State Police medevac. Squad 303 and Engine 307 arrived moments later and initiated rescue group operations. Squad 303's crew, with assistance from Tower 17, immediately stabilized the vehicle and extricated the patient by removing the roof along with the driver's side door. As the patient was heavily entrapped, the patient was extricated in approximately 20 minutes and was then packaged and transported to a local trauma center by medevac. Three other patients involved in the accident were also evaluated and transported to local hospitals for evaluation. The accident is under investigation by the Baltimore County Police Department. Crews remained on scene for approximately 1 hour.

Ergodyne-Clad Explorers Successfully Reach North Pole
The safety equipment manufacturer sponsors American team to accomplish the crossing into the North Pole for the first time since 2010.
On Tuesday, May 6th, at approximately 9 pm MDT, Ergodyne (St. Paul, MN) -sponsored explorers Eric Larsen and Ryan Waters reached the geographic North Pole, completing their unsupported and unaided "Last North" expedition in just 53 days.
They were the only team attempting a crossing to reach the North Pole this season – and the only team since 2010 to accomplish this feat. They also are the second American team in history to complete the crossing, following John Huston and Tyler Fish's 55-day journey in 2009.
"I've been using Ergodyne gear on my training trips and expeditions for the past 3 years and am always impressed with their durability and performance as well as Ergodyne's desire to deliver truly topnotch safety gear," said Eric Larsen. "My custom-made ProFlex® 819OD gloves were a great addition to my polar gear. If Ergodyne's stuff can keep me warm in -34 deg C weather, they can certainly keep workers warm across the globe."

Union student newspaper named second best college newspaper in the South
JACKSON, Tenn. – Feb. 22, 2005 – Union University's student newspaper won second place in the "Best College Newspaper" category of the Southeast Journalism Conference in Ruston, La., Feb. 17-19.
The Cardinal & Cream ranked higher than student newspapers from universities such as Auburn University, the University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University in this year's "Best of the South" competition. Only The Vanderbilt Hustler finished higher than the Union publication for overall excellence.
In addition to the "Best College Newspaper" award, staff members from the Cardinal & Cream won 11 other awards at the conference. Last year the Union paper won seven awards.
SEJC membership includes more than 60 colleges in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee, including most of the state and private schools with journalism programs.
"I just feel like our students did outstanding work," said Michael Chute, the Cardinal & Cream's faculty adviser and journalism professor at Union. "It's definitely an honor for Union to be ranked with these other Division I schools. We don't do our work for awards, but the awards are validation that we're doing a good job."
Last year the Cardinal & Cream placed fourth in the SEJC "Best College Newspaper" category behind Alabama, Louisiana State University and Mississippi State. This year Union moved ahead of those schools, as MSU dropped to seventh place and Alabama and LSU didn't make the top 10.
Cardinal & Cream staff members placed in the top 10 in six of the nine major newspaper categories, and the online version of the publication finished in fifth place. Individual award winners were:
-- Julie Pickard, second place, "Best Sports Writer"
-- Hannah Persall, second place, "Best Newspaper Page Layout Designer"
-- Kristen Ulmer, third place, "Best News Reporter"
-- Persall, fifth place, "Best News Graphic Designer"
-- Jonathan Blair, sixth place, "Best Press Photographer"
-- Alaina Kraus, sixth place, "Best Arts and Entertainment Writer"
-- Jill Martin, ninth place, "College Journalist of the Year"
SEJC allows each school to enter one student in each category.
Winning on-site awards for the Cardinal & Cream were the team of Martin, Justin Belsly and Heather Hagood, second place in the "Public Relations Category," and Amanda Herron, third place in the "Feature Writing" category.
Five students attended the conference at Louisiana Tech University –Hagood, editor-in-chief; Martin, managing editor; Jesse Lyautey, news editor; and Herron and Belsly, life and style co-editors.

The pair traded breaks twice in the first set before Murray dominated the tiebreak 7-3 to clinch the opener 7-6.
The 18-year-old Scot then received treatment for a headache before trading breaks again and winning another tense tiebreak 7-5 to win the second set 7-6.
Murray now meets US third seed Robby Ginepri for a place in the semi-finals.
The Dunblane teenager becomes only the fourth British male to achieve a ranking in double figures since 1995.
The win also guarantees Murray automatic entry to January's Australian Open and marks another milestone in a meteoric year for the feisty youngster.
"It's a pretty big deal for me, getting to the top 100 when I'm 18," said Murray.
"I said at the start of the year that's my goal. After the first couple of months a lot of people told me I should have kept quiet. But I'm pretty happy with myself now.
"I wasn't feeling that great towards the end of the first set.
"But I took a timeout and got some medication from the doctor. I had a really sore head. I don't know why.
"But I thought I played a pretty clever match. I used my slice pretty well and I didn't give him so much pace which I think he likes. I returned well in the first set and when I had to in the second.
"I thought I could have served better and maybe attacked a little bit more, but it was a pretty big match for me and I'm just happy to come through."
Murray hit the headlines for the first time in August 2004 when he won the US Open boy's singles title at Flushing Meadows.
He went on to make his ATP debut in April, when he was ranked just 397th, before a stunning third-round run at Wimbledon led to many hailing him as the successor to long-time British number one Tim Henman.
In the wake of Wimbledon, Mark Petchey resigned his post as head of men's national training at the Lawn Tennis Association to coach Murray.
And two Challenger titles - in Santa Cruz and New York state - as well as a respectable US Open debut have since proved Petchey's charge has the potential to match the hype.
But looking ahead to his clash with US Open semi-finalist Ginepri, Murray admitted the hard work is only just beginning.
"I'm not expected to win, and I'll have to serve well to stay with him."
World number one and top seed Roger Federer also reached the quarter-finals in Bangkok on Thursday, breezing past Germany's Denis Gremelmayr 6-3 6-2.
The Swiss was back in cruise control as he notched up his 74th win of 2005 after uncharacteristically losing his cool as he struggled to get past Brazilian Marcos Daniel on Wednesday.
"A different day, a different opponent. It changes things," said Federer, who now faces Luxembourg's Gilles Muller.
Muller upset eighth seed Luis Horna 7-6 (7-4) 6-7 (4-7) 3-6.
Lleyton Hewitt survived four match points to edge past Justin Gimelstob 6-4 5-7 7-6.
"When he keeps coming at you like that he's a tough player to play against," a said a relieved Hewitt, who will next meet local favourite Paradorn Srichaphan.

|TxDoT sets meetings to discuss SH 11 extension route, SH 19 expansion
|Kerry Craig | News-Telegram Assistant Editor
January 9, 2003 -- Two public meetings are being planned for next month by the Texas Department of Transportation to present proposed plans and options on two major highway projects being planned for Sulphur Springs.
The first meeting, to be held at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 19, will cover construction on the planned extension of State Highway 11 between State Highway 19 and the S.H. 11-S.H. 154 intersection.
"The intent of that meeting is to discuss the S.H. 11 extension project, interacting with property owners and any other interested parties, discussing route possibilities before we make any final determination of what route we need to take through there," said Ernest Teague, TxDoT area engineer in Sulphur Springs.
The state highway department will have already performed a large amount of work, including aerial surveying and interacting with the county and city in looking at the intersections where the extension will tie in with existing highways.
"I guess it's the interior portion of that between highway 19 and highway 154 where we need to come to an agreement on where we go through those properties," Teague said.
In the meeting, TxDoT will present to the public the area being considered for the route and make everyone aware of the area being looked at, as well as to ask for public comment before making a final route determination on the highway extension.
The second meeting, planned for Thursday, Feb. 26, at 6:30 p.m. will be a more informal gathering to provide information to residents along State Highway 19 between Rockdale Road and F.M. 2285 about a project that will change that section of S.H. 19 from two lanes to a five-lane highway with curbs and gutters.
"As might be expected, when we widen from two lanes to five lanes, there will be times of disruption," Teague said. "We need to discuss with everyone what our plans are for that so there will not any surprises when construction starts next fall."
One segment of the project, from just south of the Interstate to the Kansas City Southern Railroad crossing, will involve concrete paving to accommodate heavy trucks that use that particular segment of the road.
"When we pour concrete past a driveway, or when we pour the driveway itself, up to the property line, it's obvious that you can't use that concrete for a week or so while it cures." Teague explained. "We want to meet with everyone, property owners and business adjacent to that area."
TxDoT will be mailing out letters to those property owners in the next few weeks with information about the meeting in an effort to contact everyone that might be affected by the project.
When the extension of S.H. 11 is completed, it is anticipated it will relieve some of the traffic congestion in the South Broadway Street area and open up new areas for retail, commercial and residential development along the new thoroughfare.
The completion of the widening of S.H. 19, when connected with the S.H. 11 extension, will relocate the S.H. 11 truck route from city streets and help eliminate some traffic congestion in the downtown area.

Prof Lenroot received her medical degree and training in Adult, Child, and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of New Mexico in the United States. She began her work in psychiatric research in New Mexico with a project using spectroscopy to study glutamate abnormalities in adolescents with early onset schizophrenia. She then moved to Bethesda, Maryland, to work on longitudinal studies of brain development with the Child Psychiatry Branch of the National Institutes of Mental Health. There her research focussed on understanding influences on brain development, including sex differences, the impact of having different numbers of sex chromosomes, and twin studies to parse out the relative of influences of genetic and environmental factor across development. In May of 2009 Rhoshel relocated to Sydney to begin her work at NeuRA and UNSW using neuroimaging techniques to study healthy and atypical brain development in children and adolescents.
NeuRA is working in partnership with the Black Dog Institute to conquer bipolar disorder. This study aims to identify what makes people more or less likely to develop bipolar disorder.

A large body of evidence indicates alterations in brain regional cellular energy metabolism and blood flow in schizophrenia. Among the different molecules regulating blood flow, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is generally accepted as the major factor involved in the process of angiogenesis. In the present study, we examined whether peripheral VEGF levels correlate with changes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) volume in patients with schizophrenia and in healthy controls. Whole-blood samples were obtained from 96 people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and 83 healthy controls. Serum VEGF protein levels were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, whereas quantitative PCR was performed to measure interleukin-6 (IL-6, a pro-inflammatory marker implicated in schizophrenia) mRNA levels in the blood samples. Structural magnetic resonance imaging scans were obtained using a 3T Achieva scanner on a subset of 59 people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and 65 healthy controls, and prefrontal volumes were obtained using FreeSurfer software. As compared with healthy controls, individuals with schizophrenia had a significant increase in log-transformed mean serum VEGF levels (t(177)=2.9, P=0.005). A significant inverse correlation (r=-0.40, P=0.002) between serum VEGF and total frontal pole volume was found in patients with schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder. Moreover, we observed a significant positive association (r=0.24, P=0.03) between serum VEGF and IL-6 mRNA levels in patients with schizophrenia. These findings suggest an association between serum VEGF and inflammation, and that serum VEGF levels are related to structural abnormalities in the PFC of people with schizophrenia.
People with schizophrenia show probabilistic association learning impairment in conjunction with abnormal neural activity. The selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) raloxifene preserves neural activity during memory in healthy older men and improves memory in schizophrenia. Here, we tested the extent to which raloxifene modifies neural activity during learning in schizophrenia. Nineteen people with schizophrenia participated in a twelve-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over adjunctive treatment trial of the SERM raloxifene administered orally at 120 mg daily to assess brain activity during probabilistic association learning using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Raloxifene improved probabilistic association learning and significantly increased fMRI BOLD activity in the hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus relative to placebo. A separate region of interest confirmatory analysis in 21 patients vs 36 healthy controls showed a positive association between parahippocampal neural activity and learning in patients, but no such relationship in the parahippocampal gyrus of healthy controls. Thus, selective estrogen receptor modulation by raloxifene concurrently increases activity in the parahippocampal gyrus and improves probabilistic association learning in schizophrenia.

This bronze sculpture is a life-size depiction of a cowboy riding a horse. It was sculpted by Constance Whitney Warren in the early 1900s as a tribute to the "rough and romantic riders of the range." Ms. Warren was born in New York City in 1888. She came from a wealthy background and spent a significant potion of her time in Newport, Rhode Island. However, as a schoolgirl, she was fascinated by her father's frontier experiences and began to sculpt and draw pictures of horses. After World War I, she began to sculpt seriously and in 1923, The Cowboy sculpture received an honorable mention at the Paris Salon, the once official art exhibition of Paris. The sculpture is currently installed the grounds of the Texas State Capitol as a monument to the "native home of the cowboy."
The Texas Cowboy Monument was found to be in excellent condition; the result of previous conservation treatment and the diligence of the State Preservation Board staff that annually performed the established maintenance procedures. However, it was observed that the protective lacquer coating was beginning to fail or deteriorate with continual exposure to sunlight and weather. These areas, identified by an opaque white blanching or haze, were found primarily in recessed areas where rainwater would not drain and remained until evaporation occurred. Minor areas of corrosion were beginning to develop in those areas where the lacquer was thinned and/or lost.
Prior to our arrival in Austin, the State Preservation Board staff had erected scaffolding and washed the sculpture using a dilute detergent and potable water solution; the sculpture was then rinsed with potable water and blotted dry with soft cotton cloths. Upon our arrival, the monument was then wiped down with mineral spirits and high pressure washed to remove old wax coatings. The bronze was once again cleaned using a proprietary degreaser and immediately rinsed with water and dried using soft cotton cloths. This process was repeated three times to insure that all protective waxes had been removed. The sculpture was allowed to dry overnight before re-application of a thinned Incralac coating and allowed to dry. A second Incralac coating was applied and the sculpture was allowed to dry for twelve hours. The sculpture was then carefully warmed using a propane torch during application of a thinned microcrystalline wax mixture. Throughout the process, B.R. Howard & Associates provided hands-on training to the State Preservation staff that would be responsible for the continual maintenance of the sculpture until once again being inspected by conservators.

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — A survey of how investment professionals see Germany's economy rose in September after falling the previous four months.
The ZEW index rose to minus 18.2 from minus 25.5 the month before.
The index remains in negative territory, indicating financial markets expect German to lose momentum over the next six months.
ZEW institute head Wolfgang Franz said plans by the European Central Bank to intervene in bond markets and lower interest costs for indebted governments may have boosted optimism about the eurozone.
He said, however, that "the debt crisis is not solved yet, and the risks for economic activity remain."
The 17 states that use the euro face a crisis over too much debt in some countries that is weighing on economic growth.

1. Braking Distance Formula
The following table is taken from a
Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles Manual
and it shows the Reaction Distance, the Braking Distance, and the Total Stopping
Distance at various speeds.
The Reaction Distance is the distance that your car travels from the time that the
driver sees the need to do so until his foot hits the brake.
The braking distance is the distance that the car travels after the brakes are applied
until it comes to a stop.
The Total Stopping Distance is the sum of the Reaction Distance and the Braking Distance.
from the Learner's Manual of the Virginia DMV
Here are the formulas to compute those distances:
Note that both the braking distance and the total stopping distance formulas are
quadratic, and therefore their graphs are parabolas.
2. Heater
Heaters are sold which make use of the
relection property of the parabola.
The heat source is at the focus and heat is concentrated in parallel rays.
Have you walked by the parabolic reflector heater at COSTCO?
3. Satellite Dishes
Satellite Dishes work on this same principle.
Incoming waves are concentrated to the focus.
4. Automonbile Headlights
An automobile headlight is another example of a Paraboloid of Revolution --
taking a parabola and rotating it about its axis of symmetry.
The smooth inner surface of the headlight is a glass reflector upon which
bright aluminum has been deposited. This part is a powerful reflector.
A parabolic reflector has the property that if a light source is placed at the
focus of the reflector, the light rays will reflect from the mirror as rays
parallel to the axis.
This is used in auto headlights to give an intense concentrated beam of light.
For safer night driving, we do not want all the light rays to be parallel
to the axis. Some light must be aimed far down the road, to the side, upward
for signs or bridges.
So we offset the filament from the focus and change the beam entirely.
In most of today's cars, a 4 Lamp System is used -- 2 filament sealed beam
units in 2 lamps.
The position of the filaments accomplishes most of the desired illumnination
patterns. The rest is taken care of by special lenses which contain prisms
to bend the light rays.
5. McDonald's Arches
McDonald's Arches are parabolas.
Actually, Carl Letsche sent in a correction about the Golden Arches not being parabolas.
Click here for the link
6. Fountains
Bellagio's fountains at Las Vegas exhibit water in the shapes of parabolas.
7. Path of a Ball
Gallileo was the first to show that the path of an object thrown in space
is a parabola.
8. Golden Gate Bridge
The cables that act as suspension are parabolas.
9. Le Four Solaire at Font-Romeur
There is a reflector in the Pyrenees Mountains that is 8 stories high.
It cost two million dollars to build and it took ten years to build it.
It is made of 9,000 mirrors arranged in a parabolic mirror.
It can reach 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit just from the Sun!
10. Parabolic mirror
A parabolic mirror at the Seattle Science Museum.
11. Parabolic Receivers
A person who whispers at the focus of one of the parabolic reflectors
can be heard by a person located near the focus of the other parabola.

In a conversation with British writer Lady Kinvara Balfour, Ford reveals that he and his longtime partner have tied the knot, saying, 'We are now married, which is nice.'
Tom Ford has married his longtime partner Richard Buckley in a private ceremony. As reported by WWD, the designer broke the news during a conversation with British writer Lady Kinvara Balfour at London's Regent Street Apple store on Monday night, April 7. "We are now married, which is nice. I know that was just made legal in the U.K., which is great. We were married in the States," Ford said.
Ford and his journalist partner met in the 1980s. "I went to a fashion show and this silver-haired guy was staring at me with these piercing water-blue eyes. It scared me because I absolutely saw and knew my entire future," Ford said of meeting Buckley in 2012.
During the event, Ford additionally talked about their son Alexander. "He lays [his toys] out, it's so genius. He's so organized. I don't know where it came from," he said with a laugh. Ford added that he needed to change his habit at home because of the little boy's nanny. "I can't come downstairs naked and have a bowl of cereal in the morning, so I get dressed," he said. "Before I had a child, I literally took off all my clothes the minute I walked in the door and that was that."
The 52-year-old designer continued explaining that he only carried his phone to keep an eye on his son at home. "There is an app [on which] I can watch my son sleep at night so, if I'm out to dinner, I can watch if he's sleeping fine. That's the only reason I carry it around," he explained.

Within the Steering Committee of the Anabaptist Network in South Africa (ANiSA) we have come to value the opportunity of having a space for ongoing reflection regarding our common desire of being faithful disciples of Jesus in the South African context. We share with you some of our thoughts and reflections that are being provoked by our context. Do these reflections resonate with you? We welcome your thoughts and reflections as we journey together.
The article started appearing on my timeline last night sometime. I use facebook's subscription options generously, which helps me to see that which I actually want to see. This allow me to bypass most of the blatant racist rhetoric on news24 comment sections.
For the past two days I've been listening to reports about the uproar in South Africa surrounding Cape Town artist Brett Murray's work, "The Spear", which portrays President Jacob Zuma with his genitals exposed. Interestingly, Murray's painting is not even the first of its kind to appear in recent days. Last week in Canada, Prime Minister Stephen Harper was shown nude in a piece by artist Margaret Sutherland.
A call to churches worldwide to educate people about racism was made by church leaders from across the Americas and the Caribbean at the end of a conference held last week in Managua, Nicaragua.
The conference, which was organized by the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Latin America Council of Churches (CLAI), focused on the violence of racism against people of African descent in the region.
It was the first ever conference to bring together church leaders of Afro-descendent communities in the Americas and the Caribbean.
Dr Jorge Ramirez Reyna, president of Asociación Negra de Defensa y Promoción de Derechos Humanos (Black Association for Human Rights Defense and Promotion, ASONEDH) in Peru, reflects on the issue of racism in his country and the role of the conference on the Violence of Racism in Latin America, which was organized by the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Latin American Council of Churches (CLAI) 22-24 June in Managua, Nicaragua. He was interviewed by Sean Hawkey.
How is racism playing out in Peru today?
Church leaders from across the Americas and the Caribbean are meeting in Managua, Nicaragua, to discuss the violence of racism, and the challenges it poses for churches and ecumenical organizations.
The conference is sponsored by World Council of Churches (WCC) in partnership with the Latin America Council of Churches (CLAI) and brings together people working with Afro-descendent and indigenous communities across the region.
Written by Des Morgan
I live in a deeply divided society. I have not lived long enough in any other part of the world to know for certain whether this is a unique problem for South Africa. What I do know is that on any one day in South Africa, newspaper reports alone make one acutely aware of the deep divisions in South African society, whether it be between one race group and another, or between one gender and another, or between one socio-economic group and another.
There is a custom in some churches to read out the Ten Commandments every Sunday in Lent as a way of calling to mind our sins. When you read these "Ten Words" as they are sometimes called in Hebrew, there is no doubt that they call a spade a spade! There is no beating around the bush with some generalized statement about sin. On the contrary the whole gamut is named, from idolatry to adultery, from blasphemy to covetousness, from stealing to murder, from respecting parents to lying.
Written by Justice Malala
For the sake of our children and their children, we must constantly remind ourselves why there was a freedom struggle in this country.
It is essential that we do this because many among us believe that the struggle for freedom was about power, that those who fought the apartheid system did so merely because they wanted to replace the heinous apartheid system and its snouts in the trough with their own snouts in the trough. This is not true.
What does it mean for the church to call for peace in a world where many forms of racism persist? This is one of the questions a World Council of Churches (WCC) conference on racism tried to answer.
At the conference hosted by the United Church of Christ (UCC) 30 participants from 15 countries gathered 26-29 August in Cleveland to discuss rationale and strategies for a sustained ecumenical engagement in confronting racism and related forms of prejudice.

Arena League Reportedly to Fold
The Arena Football League is close to folding and declaring bankruptcy, according to the Associated Press.
The indoor football league previously had suspended operations for the 2009 season.
One franchise, the Georgia Force, announced Tuesday that it has ceased operations.
"We are disappointed at this outcome for AFL fans, but there was no other viable choice," team president Dick Sullivan said in a written statement. "Despite significant efforts on the part of many AFL and team representatives, the league was unable to create a new business model that we and others could support. Those of us who worked at the Georgia Force will miss the fun action of this unique football game."

The first casualty of war is the truth. Tell a lie often enough and it becomes your truth. Urinating on dead bodies; cutting off fingers for sport; murdering women and children; night raid home invasions on civilians; and the most recent embarrassment of soldiers posing with dead body parts, are all possible during times of war because of the original lie that starts the war, which must include dehumanizing the enemy. It goes against human reason, after all, to kill another human being. In most … [Read more...]
Strange Christianity Made in America: Part II by Randy Woodley
The customs of the Nacirema, a still very poorly understood tribal group, came to the attention of anthropologists about forty years ago. They are a North American group living in the territory roughly between the Cree and the Tarahumare tribal groups. Little is known of their origin, although tradition states that they came from the east.In the mid-seventies a group of anthropologists formalized the studies of this very strange and powerful culture.

Strange Christianity Made in America: Part I by Randy Woodley
What has been particularly harmful about American Christianity has not necessarily been the beliefs professed by American Christians but rather the worldview that makes professions of belief more real than living them out.

Jesus and American Exceptionalism by Randy Woodley
It seems the concept of American Exceptionalism has made a comeback. This is especially notable if you listen for even just a few minutes to the Republican Primary debates. The term is kind of new, but the concept began many years ago. Basically, it translates to mean God favors America more than God favors (at least most) other nations.The early Puritans had a similar spiritual vision to build a "city upon a hill" as a sign for God's will for all. They wanted to create a "New Jerusalem" and … [Read more...]
I Like the Bible but I'm Not Sure I Know All the Words by Randy Woodley
I had been learning to play bass guitar for two years when I was finally asked to be in a real band.

Quoting God by Randy Woodley
Ok, I first need to admit to you, this is not my first time at the rodeo. I've been around unorganized Christianity for a while.

Chief executive
Mr McIlwain said Tatts' recent efforts to expand its non-poker machines business meant that it would make up the loss of profits it will suffer once its Victorian pokies licence expires in August 2012.
"We've effectively replaced or filled the 'black hole' that everyone kept talking about," he said, adding that NSW Lotteries was on track to contribute $250 million of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation by full-year 2014.
Tatts' lotteries business will soon overtake poker machines in revenue terms. The latter suffered an 11 per cent drop in operating profits to $192 million due to the end of the 2009 government stimulus, extra regulation, reduced investment and the poor reputation of pokies in the community.
Tatts insisted the business will generate strong cash flow for the next two financial years.
The UNiTAB Wagering business's underlying operating profit declined 1.9 per cent as the company paid the cost of migrating fixed-price betting to the wholly owned TattsBet service.
Tatts, which has been shortlisted with Tabcorp and Ladbrokes for the next Victorian wagering licence, is closely watching the outcome of the Victorian gambling regulator's case against VenueNet for setting up a betting kiosk terminal in South Melbourne last year. "It's an interesting proposition," Mr McIlwain said.
"If you can come and offer wagering services from another state, why would you bother buying [the licence]? But if the [regulator] wins the case this is the only licence you can get, so you have to bid for it if you want to offer a wagering service at the retail level."
Tatts' monitoring service, Maxgaming, and its technical support operation, Bytecraft, both posted revenue and profit gains, but the UK business, Talarius, had a predictably awful year with operating losses of $22 million.
Mr McIlwain told analysts he remained confident that Talarius, which Tatts recently wrote down in value and spent $18 million restructuring, would almost double its trading EBITDA this year.
"The only risk to that is a double-dip recession or massive problems in the UK, but it's on a fair footing. I'm not sure whether we've been the garbage cleaner or Old Bert from Marry Poppins, but we've cleaned out all the things that have impaired performance and we're looking forward to a better 2011."
He later told the AFR: "We are not selling but we've had a lot of inquiries from private equity which suggests that it's at the bottom."
Shares in Tatts rose 3 per cent to $2.40 as its underlying profits beat most analysts' forecasts. But net profit fell to $119.4 million for the 12 months to June 30 from $277.4 million.
Mr McIlwain said he continued to see sense in a potential break-up of rival Tabcorp by Tatts and James Packer's Crown, but that Tabcorp was "quite adamant they are not prepared to consider it".
"I'm not spending any time on it. If Tabcorp want to talk to me they know my phone number but I don't sense they are about to."

That may be true for ISPs that provide service in your area
But my ISP charges a per month per domain fee to host DNS.
To further their monopoly they refuse to follow the RFC for
Classless reverse addressing.
I host my own DNS for just that reason.
The Private Public DNS server model is another reason to
Host your own DNS. In that model you set up a DNS server
That provides zone transfers to the DNS servers defined
As primary and secondary for your domain. Any change you
Make will be sent up to these servers. You don't have to
Worry about configuration inconsistencies between the two
Servers since they draw their info from the same source.
I use zones extensively in Bind. I have a zone that provides
Answers to DNS questions in the safe side of the firewall
Using LAN addresses and another zone that answers requests
Using the public IP addresses for requests from the wild
Side of the firewall.
I guess it's a matter of preference...
