SANTA ANA – Mighty Mater Dei proved too strong for Wilson High for the second time this season, but that didn't mean the Bruins went home discouraged after their 10-4 non-league boys water polo loss Tuesday night at the William Lyon Homes Aquatic Center.
"It's not discouraging," Wilson coach Tony Martinho said. "We don't get discouraged. It's more of a measuring stick of what we need to work on."
If so, then the Bruins need to work on penetrating Mater Dei's defense. The Monarchs improved to 24-0 this season and stretched their mind-boggling multi-year winning streak to 103 games through a combination of stifling defense and great saves by USC-bound 6-foot-8 goalie McQuin Baron.
"Their defense was very good," said Martinho. "We didn't get a lot of opportunities. It was more that than their goalie, good as he was."
Wilson, which finishes its Moore League schedule Thursday against Poly before starting CIF-SS Division I play next week, fell to 20-6. All those losses have come against the CIF's top teams.
"I'm definitely disappointed," said senior Jake Ctvrtlik. "But I don't think if we play them again that we can't beat them.
"We need to finish better. We're not putting the ball in the net like we should."
Despite the score, Mater Dei coach Chris Segesman wasn't that pleased. So maybe Wilson, which lost to Mater Dei 13-6 in last year's CIF-SS Division I championship game, had reason to remain hopeful going into the playoffs.
"We've got to do a better job of defending certain things," Segesman said. "I thought Wilson played well and our goalie made some great saves. They're one of the top teams we'll see. If we face these guys in the semifinals, (which is likely assuming Wilson is the No. 4 seed), they'll beat us if we don't do a better job."
Segesman sounded as if he had read Ctvrtlik's mind.
"We still have some stuff we haven't shown them," Ctvrtlik said, smiling. "We can do better than this."
For the first quarter and a half, at least, the Bruins had to be encouraged. They battled the Monarchs to a 2-2 draw with strong defense and goals by Zach D'Sa and James Applegate.
And then, in a flash, the Monarchs took control. Jake Sanders started a three-goal run with a strong power move in the center for one of his two goals, then USC-bound James Walter scored on a clean shot and Jeff O'Brien scored one of his three goals to make it 5-2 at halftime.
"Our counter-defense wasn't good right there," Ctvrtlik said. "We were watching too much and they were taking off the other way."
The Monarchs put the game away with three more goals in the third quarter, two by Kent Inoue, who had three goals overall. The Bruins had to settle for dumping the ball in the corner on a number of occasions during the Monarchs' six-goal surge and went scoreless in the quarter.
Seniors Jacob Davis and Brock Gordon scored in the fourth quarter for Wilson, which kept the final score respectable despite a series of great saves by Baron. He had 11 saves, several on point-blank shots by the Bruins.
Although the Monarchs dominated overall, Wilson goalie Noah Walter made a number of fine saves and senior Murphy Slater made some solid plays on defense.

"I'm trying to look at the glass half full."Some Coney Island staples that have been shut since the hurricane have no choice. The flagship Nathan's Famous hot dog stand won't reopen until Memorial Day. The New York Aquarium will reopen, only partially, in late spring. And the Brooklyn Cyclones baseball team is set for its June 18 home opener, though it's unclear whether its damaged field will be replaced with sod or artificial turf. Gordon Lee's Eldorado Auto Skooter on Surf Avenue has an arcade room with nearly 40 percent fewer arcade games, after salt water ruined much of the machinery. "I'm functional at this point," said Lee, demonstrating a metal coin wrapper that can no longer turn because its bearings have seized from corrosion. "Look, I'm open and operational. Am I 100 percent operational? No." Lee has sunk about $100,000 of his savings into recuperating the arcade, buying new machinery and replacing 30 new bumper cars. "We're open; we're on schedule," he said. "Now we just need people to start coming." Nearly 11 million people flocked to Coney Island Beach last year between Memorial Day and Labor Day, according to city figures. Many attended well-known attractions, like the Nathan's Famous July 4 International Hot Dog-Eating Contest. And most of Coney Island's boardwalk bars, shops and restaurants are now open to sell cold beers, tchotchkes and fried clams to tourists and New York's most quirky characters alike. But the strongmen and sword swallowers who perform at the Coney Island Circus Sideshow will be out of work until May 24, when owner Dick Zigun is able to open the first floor of the landmark building that houses it as well as a bar, gift shop and dressing room destroyed by Sandy.

PPC Hero wrote a nice article on adding Copyright and Trademark symbols to ad copy.
Do you or one of your clients have a registered or trademarked company name? If so, try putting the trademarked or registered symbol in your PPC ads to help increase click-through rates.
The reasoning behind this strategy and how it may help increase your click-through rates is two-fold:
1. It will help your PPC ad stand apart from other competitor ads in the SERPs.
2. It will help ensure confidence in consumers that you are a professional business.
Honestly, I wish they hadn't written the post. I tested out adding symbols with a company in 2002 and found that in highly competitive industries it can definitely help CTR. In highly researched industries (such as b2b), it can make a critical difference in your ad copy success.
I've been using this technique for 5 years, and this is the first time I've seen someone actually write about it. While some have used it before, no one's actually said that much about it. Since the cat is out of the bag, here's some info to go along with their post:
The easiest way to enter these symbols into your ad copy is to hold down the alt symbol, type the below number, and release the alt key:
- Trademark symbol ™ – Alt + 0153
- Copyright symbol © Alt + 0169
- Registered trademark symbol ® Alt + 0174
It's worth split testing using a symbol in your ad copy.

"Mediation and the Art of Power (Im)balancing"
Field, Rachael M. (1998) "Mediation and the Art of Power (Im)balancing". QUT Law Journal, 12, pp. 264-273.
|PDF (228kB)
Some commentators on mediation purport to be tired of hearing about power imbalances and the inequities that can arise for women in mediated disputes as a result of them. I reject this attitude and aim in this article to continue the dialogue on power imbalances and mediation, particularly in the context of family disputes. Mediation theory as to the ability of mediators to redress power imbalances is questioned. Mediation is not completely rejected as a dispute resolution option for women on this basis, however. Rather a proviso is placed on its use, namely that women must always be given the opportunity to make a fully informed decision regarding the consequences of their participation and the disadvantages they may face as a result of power imbalances.

Jonathan Barrett and Peter Kerr
ANZ Banking Group agreed to a deal that would have allowed Indian tycoon Pankaj Oswal to walk away from his West Australian fertiliser plant with $200 million, free from the threat of prosecution.
Less than one week after Mr Oswal rejected the mid-December offer, ANZ seized control of
Mr Oswal faces allegations of siphoning Burrup money into his private business interests. He denies any wrongdoing.
"The offer was an ambush," said one person close to the proposed transaction. "That doesn't mean Oswal didn't deserve to be ambushed."
Mr Oswal is trying to resurrect his career from Dubai after losing control of one of the world's biggest ammonia plants – a key ingredient in fertiliser – that he helped build on a desolate peninsula in Western Australia's Pilbara region.
The factory is supposed to be highly profitable, except for the fact that Mr Oswal took out millions of dollars from the company in "guarantee fees".
Mr Oswal has declined to return to Australia to face the allegations.
During a Melbourne meeting organised by ANZ in December last year, 35 per cent Burrup shareholder Yara International offered around $700 million for the Oswal family's 65 per cent share in Burrup, according to a source. Mr Oswal said the offer was unacceptable.
"It was obvious that Yara had no intention of negotiating or seeking a compromise," Mr Oswal told the Weekend AFR by email.
"Yara made an initial offer that was unacceptably low and then effectively refused to negotiate."
The deal would have enabled ANZ to get back $500 million that Mr Oswal owed it, leaving him with $200 million. He owes several other financiers money, including Westpac, it emerged on Friday.
As part of the deal, sources close to the proposal said that the three parties – ANZ, Mr Oswal and Yara – agreed not to sue each other.
ANZ financed Mr Oswal over several years when he conducted questionable transactions, including Burrup paying tens of millions of dollars in fees to his personal investment vehicles. Burrup board members raised concerns about the payments. ANZ declined to comment on Friday.
Norway-based Yara, which invested in Burrup in 2005, largely ignored the questionable business practices until early 2010.
The ANZ and Yara offer to Mr Oswal valued the company at roughly $1 billion. One person with knowledge of the offer said that although Mr Oswal believed the company was worth more than twice that, the questionable transactions had reduced the value of the business. Nonetheless, the offer was still quite low, the person saidANZ financed Mr Oswal over several years when he conducted questionable transactions, including Burrup paying tens of millions of dollars in fees to his personal investment vehicles. Burrup board members raised concerns about the payments. ANZ declined to comment on Friday..
Mr Oswal has previously said he was paid fees for accepting the risk for factory cost overruns

Gervais confirms Depp's cameo on his upcoming sitcom, but denies Jerry Seinfeld's possible guest appearance.
"Life's Too Short" has snatched a big cameo, so Ricky Gervais claimed via his blog. The comedian, who writes and will star on the upcoming BBC2 comedy series, has confirmed that "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy actor Johnny Depp will appear on it.
While nodding his head to Depp's guest spot, Gervais denied speculation that Jerry Seinfeld would also make a guest appearance. "The Depp bit is true. The Seinfeld isn't," he wrote on his blog, debunking speculation that "The Marriage Ref" executive producer will play "quite a whiny Upper East Side Jewish guy."
Gervais teams up with Stephen Merchant to write "Life's Too Short". It features the continuing adventures of diminutive star Warwick Davis who plays an egomaniac dwarf who runs a talent agency for other dwarves. Merchant will also star on the sitcom which will air on BBC2 as well as HBO.

NEW DELHI – A Japanese tourist died Friday after suffering a heart attack while he was visiting India's historic Taj Mahal monument, a senior police official said.
The 66-year-old was visiting the site with three other people as well as a local guide when he collapsed just after climbing the stairs at the white marble tomb, said the officer in charge of the tourist police station in Agra.
"He was rushed in an ambulance to the hospital but he could not be revived," Sushant Gaur, the officer, said.
"A postmortem was carried out and the cause of death is heart attack. We have duly informed the Japanese Embassy about the unfortunate incident."
Police gave his name as Hideto Ueda.
The BBC quoted an eyewitness, Sagar Singh, as saying the tourist fell while taking a selfie at the monument's Royal Gate.
The Taj — India's top tourist attraction — was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a tomb for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died while giving birth in 1631.
It attracts about 12,000 visitors a day.

This weekend Summit Entertainment will re-release The Twilight Saga: Eclipse "allowing moviegoers to celebrate Bella's birthday with their friends" in 1,187 theaters in North America. No, this isn't a joke. Right now, the pic's hefty tally is domestic $298.8M and foreign $372.8M.
Summit Getting Every Dollar From 'Eclipse'
10 Comments
An obvious ploy to push Eclipse past $300M domestic. Nothing more, nothing less.
Correct. That's exactly what it is. Milk it baby…
God bless 'em though. The industry needs more moneymakers like this for the health of the industry as a whole. For the sake of my friends and colleagues who need work to survive on the production side, as well as the state's economy in general, I just wish they'd shoot these films in Califormia/Los Angeles.
Bro, this is so true! I'm so glad I'm finally seeing someone posting what I've been wanting to say for awhile. The industry needs consistent hits right now. People need to stop bitching about any movie's success. That is good news for some people.
As far as I know, only the first one filmed partially in LA. Now it's only in Canada.
Guess that answers the question of if we'd get any posts from you on your vacation, Nikki. :-)
I say who gives a damn really as long as they drag on Eclipse at the theares the longer I get to see the Pattz
Happy Birthday Bella!!!
I guess I could see releasing the first two, but Eclipse JUST left the theaters, so it's not like some big thrill for the fans…. weird.
Actually foreign is $391.2M
I was at the park the other day with my daughter and though I'd read all the stories and heard the anecdotal evidence, it was the first time I heard some woman say, "Come on, Bella!" to her toddler and was like, "OMG – RLY?"
It's okay… the girls need their own "Star Wars."

SOUTHPORT, England — As well as he's playing, Jordan Spieth could have a grip adjustment in his future.
He's one good Sunday away from wrapping his hands around the Claret Jug.
Spieth shot a 5-under-par 65 on Saturday to create some distance from the field at 11 under heading into the final round of the British Open at Royal Birkdale.
History awaits. Spieth, who turns 24 next week, could join Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win three legs of a Grand Slam at age 23. Spieth won the Masters and U.S. Open in 2015, and has a three-shot lead over Matt Kuchar, who in turn has a three-shot lead over third place Austin Connelly and Brooks Koepka.

The Reserve Bank of Australia's statement on monetary policy today and a speech to be given by the bank's governor, Ian Macfarlane, later in the week will set the tone for the sharemarket and the domestic currency in the weeks to come.
Investors sold interest rate-sensitive stocks such as banks and builders after the RBA raised the official cash rate by 25 basis points to 5 per cent on Wednesday. Money markets are already pricing in a second rate rise for December.
However, CommSec senior analyst Craig James said tighter monetary policy was positive for the overall market.
"The initial shock of a rate increase wears off quickly, with investors focusing on the reasons for higher rates, namely, a strong economy," Mr James said.
There were mixed signals from Wall Street, with stocks falling on Friday despite a report showing US businesses hired more than twice the number of workers expected in October.
US investors were reluctant to buy heavily because of concerns the stockmarket had recently risen far too quickly.
On the local sharemarket, all eyes will be on Australia's biggest bank, National Australia, which is expected to announce a net profit of more than $4 billion tomorrow.
Investors also will be keen to hear more of NAB's plans for beleaguered insurance group AMP. On Friday, the bank offered reluctant support for AMP's proposed demerger of its British operations.
On Wednesday, Lend Lease's new chief executive, Greg Clarke, is expected to receive a grilling from investors about the progress of a sale of its US Real Estate Investment business to Morgan Stanley, at the developer's annual general meeting.

Websurdity has an excellent summary of the uncomfortable questions about the Death Star attack that led to its destruction. Of course the premise is that Luke Skywalker was *not* responsible for blowing up the death star but he had a lot of help, from the inside.
A couple of choice questions posed in the inquiry:
– Why was the rebel pilot who supposedly destroyed the Death Star reported to be on the Death Star days, maybe hours, prior to its destruction? Why was he allowed to escape, and why were several individuals dressed in Stormtrooper uniforms seen helping him?
– Why did Lord Vader decide to break all protocols and personally pilot a lightly armored TIE Fighter? Conveniently, this placed Lord Vader outside of the Death Star when it was destroyed.
Good stuff.

I thought I would give Tiles a try, and installed the free version. Had it running for a very short time, and then tried to drag a folder from a Windows 7 (64 bit) Library to one of the Tiles pages.
This caused Tiles to crash, and I shut it down.
I then tried to restart Tiles, and got the same result - crash
I then did a restart on my PC and then did an uninstall of Tiles. Then did a reboot, and a fresh install of the free version of Tiles. At the end of the install, Tiles immediately crashed again.
I have since do another uninstall of Tiles, and here I am.
Too bad, because Tiles looked very useful and I was looking forward to using it.

What is Functional Medicine?Functional medicine is personalized care that deals with prevention and treating underlying causes, instead of just symptoms, for serious chronic disease. It bridges the gap between conventional and alternative medicine. It is a science-based field of health care using blood, urine and stool testing along with a comprehensive medical evaluation to determine the root of health issues. It focuses on supporting the body naturally with cutting edge neutraceuticals (not pharmaceuticals), diet and detoxification programs.
Why do Functional Laboratory Testing?
Licensed acupuncturists in Florida are legally able to order blood tests, urine tests, stool tests, x-rays, MRIs and other laboratory or imaging studies. Using independent laboratories, we are able to order tests which can guide our treatment. Laboratories that conduct functional medicine testing that we use include Quest Diagnostics, Genova, Doctors Data, Cyrex Labs, BioHealth, Quicksilver Scientific and Precision Analytical.
How are our tests different from what your doctor would order?
Pathological vs. Functional Ranges
The primary difference between the functional and pathological ranges is the degree of deviation allowed within the normal ranges. Pathological ranges are broader, and it is likely that results outside this range ARE indicative of pathology. Pathological ranges are determined by taking the average results from all the people (who are mostly diseased and medicated) who are tested at a particular lab over a year. Thus, the normal range will be slightly different for every laboratory, and each year the "normal range" changes slightly, based on who was tested at the particular facility.
Functional ranges are generally narrower than pathological ranges, and it is common for there to be deviations from the functional range which are still within the "normal" pathological range. These deviations indicate functional imbalance, but are not indicative of existing pathology. The functional ranges were developed by the American Association of Clinical Chemists (AACC) and are based on a sample of healthy individuals. Utilizing functional ranges to analyze your blood test results allows us to find functional abnormalities before pathology results. Often, these "sub-clinical" abnormalities can be reversed through dietary changes, stress reduction, nutritional support and acupuncture to bring your body back into balance before you reach a pathological state.
Urine vs. Blood Tests
Why test this stuff?!
Here's an example of why urine testing is important: Let's say you have been having hot flashes. Your friend had great results with an over the counter "natural" progesterone cream, so you decide to try it too. You feel better at first, but gradually the symptoms come back. You use more of the cream and you feel better, but eventually, despite higher and higher doses, it stops working. You go to your doctor, and she does a blood test to check your progesterone level. The test is normal, but you still feel terrible. Your doctor has you try taking birth control pills, but it doesn't help.
If your doctor had ordered a urine test for progesterone rather than a blood test, the results are likely to have been quite different. Chances are the urine test would show hugely elevated progesterone levels. Why the difference? Because the progesterone which gets into your body from a cream is "free" progesterone. It will not be detected in a blood test, (unless your doctor specifically requests a test for free progesterone, which will be extremely expensive and not covered by your insurance) but will be detected in a urine test.

Liberty of the Seas September 10 Sailing in the Western Med: Liberty of the Seas Cruise Review by Habenero
Overall Member Rating
Liberty of the Seas September 10 Sailing in the Western Med
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
The ship definitely makes its presence known. In each port we were in, we made the other ships look small with one exception, Norwegian Epic. The lines of Epic look a bit boxy, when compared to Liberty of the Seas. We arrived at the cruise terminal about 11:45 and were on board about 12:00. That has been the fastest we have ever been from our arrival at the terminal and getting on board. The down side to More that, we couldn't enter the room until 13:00 (not a major problem as there were many things to see and do). The ship was very clean. The only part of our ship that showed her age was the balcony rail which could have used a few coats of varnish. The overall layout of the ship makes finding your way easy and the interactive displays are easy to use for those who need help, but the staff are always more helpful.
We had no trouble finding something good to eat in the Main Dining Room. The food was very good to excellent with the selection of cold soups far superior to those served on most of our previous cruises. We were on My time dining and never had a problem getting a table to share with interesting people. The food in Windjammer was typical of most buffets, if you timed your arrival correctly, it was very good, otherwise, fair. We ate there mainly for breakfast and discovered that the main dining room was not the only place on the ship we couldn't get crispy bacon. Seattle's Best Coffee on the ship made every other day great for me by serving Lemon Poppy Loaf!
The service staff work their butts off. It doesn't seem to matter to them if you are a first time cruiser or not. The crew treats you royally! All of them are friendly and a great asset to Royal Caribbean! Their hospitality makes me want to sail with Royal Caribbean again.
Ports of Call
Barcelona, Spain: We chose to leave for Barcelona the Thursday before our sail date in order to acclimate ourselves to the time change (9hrs.) and to be able to soak up a bit of Spanish culture. Between the time change and flying time, leaving at 07:00 from Phoenix, Az meant we would arrive in Barcelona, Spain about 08:30 Friday morning. Although our flight had a delayed departure, due to a valiant effort by the pilot, our flight touched down about half an hour early. This good deed did not go unpunished. As we made a turn to a taxiway after touching down, I heard an unfamiliar pop and the plane came to a fast halt. About 10 minutes later the pilot made this announcement, "Due to a hydraulic leak, the plane lost the ability to steer." Because we were towed, we made it to the gate about half an hour after we were due. I am grateful we didn't lose a different system.
Barcelona is one of the most beautiful cities I have seen! It has a wide variety of architecture and a great transportation system for tourists! The only complaint we had about this city is the beds which felt like sleeping on a thin rug placed upon a hardwood floor (they were the same in 2 different hotels in different parts of the city). The food here is good, but pricey.
Toulon, France: Our cruise information said we were going to Toulon, but we docked in La Seyne sur Mer, across the bay from it. No problem unless you wanted to do something in Toulon. But since it was a Sunday, there wasn't much you could do in either place. We opted to walk off the ship and checkout the things we could do on our own. We ended up crossing the bay to Toulon where we found that the bus we could use to go to the cable car didn't run on Sundays, the walk to the cable car took at least 45 minutes, and that real French Crepes make my wife very happy.
We then further discovered that although I remembered the name of the boat we had crossed the harbor on, it changed its route in the afternoon and we ended up going to the wrong side of the bay. It could have been a disaster, but we succeeded in getting to the right boat once we got back to Toulon.
That evening we had a good dinner and I had a wonderful Chocolate SoufflE for desert!
Villefranche, France: We took an excursion from the cruise ship for the first time in 6 years. It met my expectations, which is why I do not plan to go on another ship excursion. I was pleased with our guide and driver, but disappointed with how rushed the time felt. Overall I got to see the outside of several places I would have preferred to see the inside of.
I was not impressed with the Principality of Monaco. For as wealthy as the place tries to imply, what is displayed is greatly overpriced real estate and a pampas attitude that is stifling.
Eze was ok, it was and looked old. Nice was nice. Villefranche was a quiet town with a beautiful harbor. I enjoyed exploring the town far more than my excursion!
Livorno, Italy: We had breakfast in the Windjammer Buffet in preparation for a full day of activity. We met our driver at 07:15 and headed off to Pisa.
There were gasps from several in our van at their first sight of the Leaning Tower. It is an awesome sight, far more beautiful when seen in person than any photograph can convey. The climb to the top was worth the pain I endured, as it is at least a once in a lifetime achievement!
We then explored a bit of the Tuscan countryside prior to heading to Florence! The fields of grapes, olives, and other produce made a wonderful sight as did the castles, estates and the Arno river.
We stopped on an overlook for a glimpse of Florence and a bronze copy of "David". What a view! I am hoping I can create a panoramic view of the city that does it justice.
There is a tremendous amount of art crammed into a small area, if you consider about 64 blocks a small area!
I have now seen firsthand works by Renaissance masters. Inspiration to work harder on creating better photographs I hope has occurred. Botticelli, Bellini and Brunelleschi were particularly inspiring! I had always ignored their works before, but will not any longer.
All in all, I had a most satisfying experience due mostly to a driver that made what we were seeing come to life via his knowledge of Italian history!
If you are going to Italy, I highly recommend Fabrizio's "All Around Italy" and be sure to ask for him personally! He is prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and has a wonderful personality.
Naples, Italy: Our arrival at this port being about 3 hours later than it would have been had it not been changed. The day started off on a bad note. We had breakfast in the main dining room for the first and last time on this cruise. The bacon that was supposed to be burned or very crispy was about 1/3 done and the sausage Susan asked for never made it.
This was the only port call where my wife and I were going to separate destinations. We kissed goodbye and went on our journeys. Then my excitement began! Having found that I didn't have a good signal for my gps, I decided to rent one from Hertz. They tried 3 of theirs with no luck. I set off to go to Herculaneum, Pompeii, and Mount Vesuvius with an incomplete map, a vague set of directions, and a little bit of nervousness.
There is only one thing that makes me feel Boston has worse drivers than Naples, Italy, in Boston the majority of the cars have automatic transmissions which take less skill to operate. That said, in order to survive driving on roads marked worse than any I have ever driven on before, requires undivided attention and an ability to recognize an error in navigation and figure out a way to correct it when the streets are very narrow, one way, and do not necessarily permit you to return to the area you thought they would.
It took about half an hour to get on the highway out of Naples to go to Herculaneum. When I got to that exit, there had been an accident on the ramp and the police were closing it off. I decided to go straight to Pompeii instead. Upon arriving there, I discovered that there were no free parking spaces and if I wanted to be close to a entrance the price varied between €10 and €20. I had already topped off the gas tank which had been given to me 3/4 full for €23, knew the entrance fee was €11, and I had to pay tolls on the way back, so I chose a cheaper place to park. Such is life! I then spent way too much time there, but found the history of the place and the size of it deserved the attention.
Since I only had the car until 18:00 I chose to head back to Naples instead of completing the journey up Mount Vesuvius. I now know what rush hour is like in Naples. Unlike most American cities (bumper to bumper at a crawl), the traffic here moves franticly or stands still. What makes it very dangerous for most Americans is the volume of scooters and pedestrians you must dodge on lanes that provide only a few inches of clearance.
I survived, with no damage to the vehicle!
Civitavecchia, Italy: our port of call for Rome, is a working port that docks cruise ships along its sea wall. Today we were the biggest one. Deutschland, Noordam, Ryndam, Ocean Pearl were the others. It made for a very crowded train ride to Rome. We took the train to
Rome which stops at St. Peters Square Station. The walk to the Vatican was nowhere near as long as the line of people waiting to go in. After taking a few photos there we caught the HOHO bus and toured Rome taking photos at the stops that we found interesting. The amount and variety of art and archeology this city offers is far too substantial to take in during a single 7 hour visit. We will have to return here. I will look for a cruise that stays here more than a day.
The few shows we were able to catch (it's hard for us to walk all day and still be awake late at night) were as good as most of the ones I've seen on land. The ice show, "Encore", is one I found very entertaining, and "On Air" was a real treat!
Based upon the itinerary, the ship and more importantly, the ship's crew, I highly recommend Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas, Western Mediterranean Cruise! Why not, get out there! Less

$lo = 2;
$high = 7;
echo $lo < $high;
The above code outputs 1.
echo $lo < $high . " string";
doesn't concatenate " string" to that 1. Why is that?
I know there is a better way of doing all of the above, but I'm just trying to understand the concatenation issue.
Why are you trying to complicate simple thing?
I'm not sure about this codes below, but try,
echo {$lo < $high}. " string";
echo (int)( $lo < $high ) . " string";
i think this happen because, php does the operation first and cast the the 'answer' to a number '1' is true, '0' is false.
A word of caution - the dot operator has the same precedence as + and -, which can yield unexpected results.
<php$var = 3;
echo "Result: " . $var + 3;?>
The above will print out "3" instead of "Result: 6", since first the string "Result3" is created and this is then added to 3 yielding 3, non-empty non-numeric strings being converted to 0.
To print "Result: 6", use parantheses to alter precedence:
echo "Result: " . ($var + 3);
Thanks everyone for your replies and help. Your feedback has helped me to clarify what is happening and why it is not working.

When you flambé the cognac for this steak au poivre recipe, make sure your pan is really hot and your eyebrows are out of the way.
Mint julep + bubbly? This cocktail recipe combines the two delicious classics and is the ultimate way to celebrate.
The best way to tackle this duck recipe is to braise the legs and make the relish in advance, then cook the breasts and crisp the legs on party night.
Turn this punch recipe up a notch with a decorative ice ring. Learn our tricks on how to make your own.
This potent New Orleans nightcap is as much about the aromatic absinthe rinse as it is the Cognac and rye.
This riff off the classic sazerac features wine instead of rye whiskey.
The hot toddy is not simply a mixture of hot water and booze. It's a miracle worker, a doctor, and a life coach in a cup. And although it does seem to do the trick for everything from a sore throat to a cough, it's just as good when you're healthy. This version—from Damon Boelte, bar manager at Prime Meats restaurant in Brooklyn—omits the usual honey or sugar and plays up the herbal and spicy notes instead.
Don't let the sugar cube and dainty bubbles fool you: This is a very stiff drink.
If you like stuffing with smoked oysters, you'll like it even more with tart lemons on top.
Don't be dismayed by this recipe's length: Packed with make-ahead moments, the dish is a low-stress showstopper.
This recipe deviates from a classic milk punch, leaving some of the milk solids in, lending a heavier, silkier feel.
The lemony sugar syrup that results from muddling citrus zest and sugar is called an oleo saccharum, literally, "oily sugar."
Boudin Blanc - or sausage - stuffings are a good choice for leaner cuts like this turkey breast recipe with chestnuts.
This Christmas punch recipe goes down easy—but watch out! It's potent.

Arete contribution submitted by Callie Mobley
How did you spend last summer? Probably relaxing, catching up with friends and family, or perhaps taking a few summer courses. Last summer fifteen Honors College students and Phi Gamma Delta, also known as FIJI, fraternity members decided to spend their summer doing something for others. The group traveled to Haiti with Edge Outreach in order to install and instruct locals in the use of water purification systems.
The project was headed by Cody Hutchins. Fundraising started early and encompassed a wide range of events. These activities included "roadblocks" (asking drivers for donations at stoplights), NCAA and NFL bracket competitions, a hot chocolate stand, and shoe drives. Hutchins was very moved by the support felt on campus, saying, "Not everyone got to go, but they were all excited to see us go." Donations were also given by businesses and FIJI alumnus, which increased the total amount raised to $35,182.12.
The group attended several training sessions prior to the actual trip, which took place from June 1st to the 10th. Among the participants were Ben Aroh, Mason Bramer, Brian Campbell, Griffin Fruge, Cody Hutchins, Chris Kenny, Sam Knott, Kyle Stewart, and Spencer Wright. Over the course of ten days, water filtration systems were installed in three towns: Port Au Prince, Mirbalais, and Grand Goave. Not only did they install these systems, but also spent a day teaching influential community members how to use them. Hutchins remarked, "We made teachers out of common people." This group was the first from Edge Outreach to include the teaching element and they felt that it was very successful.
Water resources were not the only thing enriched. Those involved experienced personal growth and a new found sense of camaraderie with their FIJI brothers. Participant, Luke Sparks, said, "It was really rewarding, especially since it was with all the guys from our fraternity."
The journey to help others doesn't end here. The FIJI brothers are considering another trip next summer and hope to experience the same enthusiasm from WKU students and the community.

Having lived downtown (Financial District and East Village) for 10 years now, I'm having an extremely difficult time accepting the idea of moving to Park Slope. I know I'm only going to be about 15-20 minutes further from my usual haunts in Tribeca, East Village, West Village, Nolita, Soho, Lower East Side, and Chinatown, but I'd like to venture out of my comfort zone and discover the best foods and restaurants Brooklyn has to offer within 30 minutes from my new stop (4 Ave/9 St on the R/F/M).
Would greatly appreciate if you could help me embrace my new neighborhood by offering your recommendations for "Destination"** and "Neighborhood Best"*** in the following categories. Must be within 30 minutes via public transport from Park Slope:
Best Raw Bar/Oysters - Blue Ribbon (D); doesn't exist? (NB)
Best New American
Best Brunch - Stone Park Café (D)
Best French
Best Italian - Al Di La (D)
Best Mac & Cheese
Best Burger
Best Falafels/Hummus/Babaganoush
Best Sushi under $30*/pp
Best Sushi over $30*/pp
Best Ramen - Zuzu Ramen? (NB)
Best Izakaya - Is there anything outside of Williamsburg (Zenkichi/Bozu)?
Best Thai
Best Vietnamese
Best Banh Mi - Nicky's/Ba Xuyen/Home/Hanco? (NB)
Best Bubble Tea
Best Real Chinese Food - Sunset Park vs. Manhattan Chinatown? (Mainly looking for Cantonese Dim Sum, Cantonese Congee/Noodles, Hong Kong Style Diners, Cantonese Soups, Wontons/Shui Jiao, Chinese Bakery, XiaoYe/Late-night dining, Chinese BBQ)
Best Korean
Best Wine Bar with Small Bites - is there a place similar to Blue Ribbon Downing St. Bar?
Best Bar for Beer Snob
Best Dive Bar
*price does not include tax/tip/beverages
Definition of:
**"Destination" - Food marked by a very high level of execution. Must be phenomenal/unique for the prices charged. It could be anywhere from $5 to over $100/pp as long as the food is worth it. You wouldn't bother to go all the way to Manhattan to find a better version of it.
***"Neighborhood Best" - You know there's a better option in Manhattan, but you're willing to settle for the next best thing close to where you live. The food doesn't need to be blow-your-mind amazing, but it needs to be the best that you can get in Brooklyn within reasonable distance from Park Slope (under 30 mins via public transport door to door)
Places I've tried and liked for "Destination": Al Di La, Brunch at Stone Park Cafe.
Places I've tried but failed to meet my "Destination" standard: Char No. 4, Frankie's 457, Po, No.7 (Most of the food at these restaurants were well executed, but not worth the prices charged. i.e. I can find much better alternatives at the same price in Manhattan)
For reference, these are my usual haunts in Manhattan: La Sirene, Market Table, Blue Ribbon Downing St. Bar, Blue Ribbon Bakery, Cafe Cluny, Pearl Oyster Bar, Mary's Fish Camp, La Esquina, Tia Pol, Basta Pasta, Greenwich Grill, Sobaya, Matsugen, En Japanese Brasserie, Taisho, Ippudo Ramen, Momofuku Ssam/Noodle/Milk Bar, Spice, Saigon Grill, Noodle Bar, Noodle Village.
Park Slope Residents - do you ever eat out in Williamsburg or South Williamsburg, or is it too much of a hassle to get to without a car?
Thanks very much in advance!

Eric Decker & Jessie James Talk New Reality Series in GQ February 2014
With only a few months until the birth of their first child, Eric Decker and Jessie James landed a feature in the February 2014 issue of GQ magazine.
The Denver Broncos star and his country singer wife posed for the Ben Watts-shot spread while chatting about their careers and their upcoming series "Eric & Jessie: Game On."
"It's hard to replace the rush you get with football, the noise and the stadium and all that," Eric explained. "But for Jessie, people are right there in front you, no helmet on, nothing, and nobody to take their eyes off of you."
In regards to how Eric's teammates handled him being involved in a reality show, Mr. Decker states,"You'd be surprised. A lot of guys wanted to try and get on the show after the first couple of episodes."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- A couple of weeks ago we looked at the sorts of risk investors face going too far out on the yield curve when trying to build a fixed-income portfolio. Interest rates are close to all-time lows, which means that the prices are high. Prices can certainly stay high for a long time, but buying high is obviously a risky proposition.
Many investors believe that they need to enter different or traditionally higher-yielding segments of the bond market in order to get a reasonable yield. In an effort to accommodate that sentiment, the exchange-traded products industry has come out with many funds targeting these high-yield segments of the bond market. For example, Van Eck recently launched the Market Vectors Fallen Angel High Yield Bond Fund ( ANGL). The investment universe for this fund is bonds that were rated investment grade when they were issued but that have since been cut to less-than-investment-grade ratings. Not surprisingly, the fund is heavy in bonds issued by financial companies. These make up 32% of the portfolio, with bonds from issuers such as Ally Financial, Royal Bank of Scotland ( RBS) and Capital One Financial ( COF). Not surprisingly, there are also bonds from struggling companies in other sectors such as Sprint ( S), Pulte Group ( PHM) and even Toys R Us. > > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll According to the fund's fact sheet, the modified duration is five years with an average yield to worst of 7.48%. Of course, yield information for ETFs can always change, and the fund has an expense ratio of 0.40%. Another example of a new high-yield bond segment is the iShares Emerging Markets High Yield Bond Fund ( EMHY). This fund has similar duration and yield statistics as ANGL but charges a 0.65% expense ratio because trading emerging-market high-yield debt is more expensive than trading domestic debt even if the bonds in EMHY are dollar-denominated. The largest country weightings in EMHY are Venezuela at 14%, and Turkey and the Philippines at 13% each. Lebanon and Nigeria each get 4% weightings in the fund, so this is legitimately new exposure for retail investors. Broadly speaking, one of the benchmark funds for the high-yield space is the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF ( HYG), which has been trading for five years and has $14 billion in assets under management.

Azerbaijan will open an embassy in Kabul, capital of Afghanistan by late 2014, Afghan Foreign Minister Zarar Ahmad Osmani who is on a visit to Baku, told Trend.
The minister said that during his visit to Baku he had discussions with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov on this issue.
"It was promised that Azerbaijan will open its embassy in Kabul, capital of Afghanistan by late 2014," Osmani said.
Afghanistan will also send a new ambassador to Azerbaijan, according to Afghan foreign minister.
"Afghanistan's ambassador to Azerbaijan was changed; he was appointed to the post of minister and therefore was recalled. There is no doubt that we will send a new ambassador to Azerbaijan," Osmani said.

That works great if you are allowing user accounts to be displayed. My question is if you are running on a domain and you don't show the last username that logged on, how do change the blank picture frame to show a company logo?

Hello Aldorian, and welcome to Vista Forums.
This can help how you how to have information about previous user logons display at logon.
How to Display Information About Previous Logons During User Logon in Vista
Unfortunately, there is no way to change the blank picture using the option in this tutorial though.
Hope this helps,
Thank you. I understand that this tutorial doesn't have that option but my question is if it is possible to change the blank picture to be a company logo? Where would these images be stored? For example, when using a Smart Card, that window has a Smart Card icon, where is that image and can it be changed? It has to be somewhere in a .dll or other file somewhere on the system. And there is probably a registry entry somewhere that controls it as well. I was just wondering if anyone new where that was?
From my understanding it was a bug that caused the blank Start Menu user picture when using the option in the tutorial. Normally the image used for this would be either the default user.bmp file, or the individual picture the user assigned that is overridden by the option in the tutorial.
If there is a way around, I have not found it yet other than manually changing the user display picture in each account and telling them not to change it.
I'll keep by eye out for any type of other workaround and post back with it if I can find one.
First I would like to thank you all for posting information regarding this topic. I was delighted to find this out there.
I'm also a little fustrated and wondering if anyone has come accross the problem we are experienceing. We have followed all the steps outlined in Method 1 above. I have read and re-read the documentation and followed all the steps to the best of my ability.
However, we are still not able to set the default picture on our systems. We would like to have the company logo displayed for all users. We are also trying to achieve setting a default user so that only one logon appears when the system is booted up. As it stands today we are not able to set the default picture for a single default user on our Vista system.
We have been successful at setting the default picture for all users and having this show up on the desktop. But this is the option where all the user show up on the desktop and then you select which user to sigon with. We don't want this. We are looking to set a default user and along with that set a the default logo picture for that single user. Following the steps above we are not able to do this.
Has anyone else expereinced this issue where you were not able to set the default picture AFTER following the steps in any of the Methods listed above? I'm scratching my head. This is the last item for our Company Vista build and i'm pulling my hair out trying to fix this. I've spent enought time on this topic. Any other ideas or suggestions out there? Thank you
Hello Fuzzymky, and welcome to Vista Forums.
The methods in the tutorial should change the default user picture only on the log on screen. It unfortunately will leave the Start Menu user picture blank though. Is this what you are seeing?
Thanks for responding. I do appreciate it.
Yes, I'm aware of the start menu picture remaining blank. I'm fine with the start picture remaining blank. What we are tyring to change is exactly what is outlined in the tutorial, which would be the "default user picture".
We have followed the tutorial and are still not able to change the default picture. i'm wondering if there is some other setting or default user setting that we need to modify in order to the get the picture to change.
If you can upload the image that you are wanting to use, I'll be happy to test it on my system to see what it may be as well.
I'll remove the image as soon as I have downloaded it so it will not be available for everyone.
Thanks again, I'm not sure where I would upload the picture to. I work for a small franchise owner and any servers open to public would be hanlded by corporate. I could email you the picture if that works.
Thanks again for the assistance

Excellent service, very quick turnaround
Very pleased with the garage Very friendly
Really Good service

Great service and smashing guys. As a single lady of a certain age its very important I can feel that I trust a garage to do right for me and these guys do. Thank you so much
Awesome service. Extremely efficient
Excellent prompt attention, will hopefully be using again.
Arrived on time and did the job in a very reasonable time at a good price. Will use again. Thanks.
Excellent service especially given it was Bank Holiday, good communication, arrived promptly, sorted the problem, fair price, would definitely use again.
I would definitely recommend Jack to anyone who needs work doing on their car. My car had failed its MOT, and I was offered £350 by the garage to fix it. Instead, I put a request on whocanfixmycar and Jack came straight back to me with a quote for £140. We arranged a time for the following day, and Jack travelled to my house and carried out all the work I had asked for (including an advisory from the MOT) quickly and efficiently. The following day, the car passed its MOT retest with no advisories. Very happy customer.
Very reliable would use again
Top bloke and a crackin job and price.. Don't go to anyone else
Excellent service will be using again
Excellent all round service for the price. Would certainly recommend and use in the future.
They quoted a price and apart from a faulty head light which had to be added,;that's the price I paid. Collected and dropped off my car - great price, great job, great garage.
They actually charged me less then the quote as the brake fluid did not need changed. The guys at the garage were great, definitely will use them again

|City, church strike deal on downtown parking area
|Kerry Craig | News-Telegram Assistant Editor
March 8, 2006 -- A potential for additional parking in the downtown area was the highlight of Tuesday night's Sulphur Springs City Council meeting.
Following an executive session to discuss a parking utility lease agreement with First Baptist Church, council members agreed to participate in the construction of a parking lot on the former site of the Tapp Furniture Company building at the corner of Tomlinson and Gilmer streets.
The church had bought the property and demolished the building for additional parking for the church. The city saw a possibility of much-needed parking space in the downtown area.
"We approached them some months ago with the potential of making that a parking lot available to citizens as well as church members," City Manager Marc Maxwell said. "To that end, the city is going to contribute roughly $10,000, and the church is going to spruce it up a bit with brick or stamped concrete and period lighting and planter boxes."
The finished parking lot, according to the city, would fit well with the city's master plan for revitalization of the downtown area.
When the building was first demolished, the possibility of a spring was considered when water began seeping from the ground. While the city does not think there is actually a spring on the site, some kind of marker could be considered.
"That is certainly a possibility," Maxwell said. "We had our doubts about that being a spring in the first place."
After delaying the start of the meeting 30 minutes because of the primary elections, council members moved rapidly through the agenda before addressing the parking lot issue.
Routine items, including second reading on ordinances updating enforcement of unsightly weeds and grass and a "short form" platting process, were quickly approved.
Also receiving approval was a request for a zoning change from multiple family residential to heavy commercial around the intersection of South League and Bellview streets. A property owner is planning to construct a self-storage warehouse in the area.

Environmental Decision Memo for Food Contact Notification No. 000029
Return to inventory listing: Inventory of Environmental Impact Decisions for Food Contact Substance Notifications or
the Inventory of Effective Food Contact Substance Notifications.
See also Environmental Decisions.
Date: February 10, 2000
From: Environmental Chemist, Environmental Review Team (ERT)
Division of Product Manufacture and Use (HFS-246)
Subject: Premarket Notification FCN No. 000029 for tridecanol phosphite condensation product with butylidenebis[2-(1,1-dimethyl-ethyl)-5-methyl-4,1-phenylene] as an antioxidant/stabilizer
Notifier: Asahi Denka Kogyo K K
c/o JTIC
Arlington, VA 22202
To: Division of Petition Control (HFS-215)
Attention: Vir Anand
Through Team Leader, ERT
Attached is the Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact(FONSI) that we have prepared for the above cited PMN submission. When this PMN becomes effective, the EA/FONSI should be made available to the public. Please let us know if there is any change in the identity or use of the food contact substance that would be inconsistent with the identity and use described in the FONSI.
John L. Dennison
Environmental Assessment for FCN No. 000029
1. Description of the Proposed Action
The proposed action is to provide for the safe use of tridecanol phosphite condensation product with butylidenebis[2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-5-methyl-4,1-phenylene] (CAS Reg. No. 62258-49-5) for use as an antioxidant and/or stabilizer in accordance with §178.2010 in styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) copolymer, to be used at levels not to exceed 0.1 parts per hundred of the SIS copolymer, as a component of pressure-sensitive adhesives complying with §175.125 for use in contact with food. These adhesives are to be used as components of tape for packaging and for labels placed on fruits and food containers at room temperature or below. This action was originally requested for Asahi Denka Kogyo K.K., by Japan Technical Information Center, Inc., in Food Additive Petition (FAP) 9B4694, the notice of filing for which was published in the Federal Register on September 7, 1999 [64 FR 48654]. The notice of filing contained the agency's decision that approval of the petition would qualify for a categorical exclusion under 21 CFR 25.32(i). This exclusion is for actions for substances present in finished food-packaging material at not greater than 5 percent-by-weight and that are expected to remain with finished food-packaging material through use by consumers or when the substance is a component of a coating of a finished food-packaging material.
The Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act (FDAMA) of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-115) amended section 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) to establish a premarket notification (PMN) process as the primary method for authorizing a new use of a food additive that is a food contact substance. Section 409(h)(6) of the act defines a food contact substance as any substance intended for use as a component of materials used in manufacturing, packing, packaging, transporting, or holding food if such use is not intended to have any technical effect in such food. Under the PMN process, a notification becomes effective 120 days after the date of receipt by FDA, unless FDA determines that, based on the data and information before the agency, the use of the substance is not safe and FDA objects to such notification within 120 days. If FDA does not object within 120 days to the use of a food contact substance that is the subject of a PMN, the substance may be legally marketed for the notified use.
In a letter dated October 26, 1999, the Agency told petitioners and requestors who had pending food additive petitions or threshold of regulation exemption requests involving the use of a food contact substance, that the petition or request might be eligible for a PMN under section 409(h) of the FFDCA. The sponsors were told that they could consider withdrawing such a petition or request and resubmiting it as a PMN. The petitioner's representative submitted a letter, dated Dec.16, 1999, requesting that FAP 9B 4694 be converted to a PMN.
The types of substances and the uses of such substances under the categorical exclusion in 21 CFR 25.32(i) are the same whether a sponsor submits a food additive petition, a request for exemption from regulation as a food additive under 21 CFR §170.39, or a PMN. However, a categorical exclusion for allowing a PMN to become effective is not currently one of the enumerated types of actions listed in §25.32(i). Therefore, we have prepared this EA for the subject notification.
2. Environmental Consequences of the Proposed Action
This action involves a food contact substance that is a minor component of finished food-packaging materials (<5% by weight of the finished packaging material) that remains with the packaging through use by consumers. We have found that the very small quantities of substances that could potentially enter the environment from this type of use are highly unlikely to have a significant effect on the environment (61 FR 19476 at 19481-82, May 1, 1996). The basis that the Agency relied on in its decision to establish the categorical exclusion in 25.32 (i) for food additive petitions is the same basis that would be applicable to PMNs. Therefore, the agency's experience with the food additive petitions that it reviewed to support a categorical exclusion for such actions is relevant to PMNs. The principal routes of environmental introduction of the types of substances included under §25.32(i), whether reviewed in a food additive petition or PMN, result from their disposal in municipal solid waste combustors or landfills. These routes of disposal are governed by the Environmental Protection Agency regulations in 40 CFR part 60 (combustors) and part 258 (landfills). Based on the low levels of use of these substances in packaging material, the introduction of combustion products or introductions at landfill sites are not environmentally significant. The petitioner stated that the proposed maximum level of the additive in the food-packaging material will be not greater than 5 percent by weight and that it is expected to remain with the finished food packaging material through use by consumers. Because of the nature of this type of action, we do not expect that any limited increase in environmental introductions resulting from this proposed action will threaten a violation of EPA's regulations governing combustors and landfills or have any other adverse environmental effects.
In the claim of categorical exclusion in FAP 9B4694, the petitioner certified that no extraordinary circumstances were expected that would preclude this use from a categorical exclusion. We do not believe that the conversion of this petition to a PMN would alter the fact that no extraordinary circumstances are likely to occur as a result of this action.
3. Alternatives to the Proposed Action
Alternatives to the proposed action need not be considered, because no potential adverse environmental effects have been identified.

Finding of No Significant Impact
A Premarket Notification FCN No. 000029, submitted by Asahi Denka Kogyo, K.K., to provide for the safe use of tridecanol phosphite condensation product with butylidenebis [2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-5-methyl-4,1-phenylene], as an antioxidant and /or stabilizer in styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) copoly-mer used as a component of pressure sensitive adhesives for use in contact with foods.
The Environmental Review Team has determined that allowing this notification to become effective will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment and therefore will not require the preparation of an environmental impact statement. This finding is based on an environmental assessment prepared by a scientist on the Environmental Review Team.

Hopkins County officials ceremoniously broke ground Monday with golden shovels for the county's new jail and law enforcement center, which will be constructed behind the sheriff's office in Sulphur Springs.
Hopkins County Judge Robert Newsom and county commissioners confirmed the $16 million project during a regular commissioners court meeting Monday morning. The commissioners court, city officials and members of the community then gathered at the site to mark the beginning of the jail construction.
"We are so excited about the project. We approved the project this morning," said Newsom. "We received the final numbers on the new jail, and we are currently several hundred thousand under budget."
The facility, which will house almost 200 inmates when constructed, will alleviate the current overcrowding issues in the 96-bed capacity of the current jail. According to Newsom, construction of the new jail is scheduled to be finished in the fall of 2015.
Hopkins County voters approved a $16 million bond issue in November to fund construction of the new facility. Once the new jail is constructed, the current facility will be used for offices and storage.
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards had sent Hopkins County several warnings previous to the approval of the new jail regarding overcrowding and overcrowding and maintenance concerrns of the current jail. Hopkins County has had a slight influx of female inmates, in which the current jail is not equipped to accept. Hopkins County currently pays Franklin and Delta counties to house inmates to deal with the overcrowding issue. That was one of the reasons the new jail constructions was approved by a 54 percent vote in November, said Newsom.
Sulphur Springs Mayor Freddie Taylor spoke at the event before the ground breaking.
"When I think about this new jail, I think about the team work it took to get this project approved," said Taylor.
Hopkins County has contracted with Sedalco Construction services to build the new facility and meet the qualifications of the Texas Commission on Jail Standards.
"We appreciate the confidence the commissioners court and the county has given us for the project," said Sedalco Construction representative Tom Kater. "We are responsible to complete this project on time and under budget. We aim to deliver."
Wayne Grondeck, architect for the new jail, has been doing soil testing around the area and has found that the rock layer is roughly 25 feet below the surface. Grondeck said that the ground conditions may not be textbook perfect to build a facility that encompasses a concrete foundation, walls and ceilings, but he is confidant that the site will have no problem supporting the weight of the building.
The construction of the jail also means a tax increase for county property owners. The increase is estimated to be five cents for each $100 in property value.

From "The fornicator" to some regrettable lines in Pumping Iron, The Daily Beast picks its favorites.
Lest there be any fornicator or profane person, as Esau who for one mess sold his first birthright.
If he is a fornicator, and his wife is divorced from him and remarries, she commits adultery.
The child's maintenance also is to be provided for by the fornicator.
Likewise the fornicator aims at enjoyment, to which is joined the deformity of guilt.
What law and what judge imputes a like criminality to the fornicator as to the adulterer?
You may be a fornicator, or an adulterer, if you pay one hundred cents on a dollar, the world will give you a free pass.
They declared that no fornicator, no adulterer, no drunkard could be admitted into the kingdom of heaven.
What satisfaction is to be made by a fornicator or adulterer?
To a man that is a fornicator all bread is sweet, he will not be weary of sinning unto the end.
late 14c., from Late Latin fornicator, agent noun from fornicat-, stem of fornicari (see fornication).
1550s, from Late Latin fornicatus, past participle of fornicari (see fornication). Perhaps in some cases a back-formation from fornication. Related: Fornicated; fornicating.
