County to Enhance Emergency Preparedness By Contracting for Flood Response, Monitoring and Signalization System
Following today's Fairfax County Board of Supervisors meeting, the county's Department of Public Works and Environmental Services will contract for the design of a monitoring and signalization system for Fairfax County. In addition, integrated flood response plans utilizing the data provided by the system will be developed, which will enhance emergency preparedness and response for areas in Fairfax County with the potential for extensive flooding and associated property damage.
The project includes detailed design and specifications for gauges and sensors to be located at nine sites within Fairfax County that may be subject to extensive flooding, including the six Public Law 566 dams, the dam at Reservoir 2A (Fairview Lake) and two other locations in the county – Huntington and Belle View, which have been impacted by flooding.
An additional component of the system is a PC-based data monitoring and collection system, which will generate automated alerts when potential flooding events are developing. The system is scalable and allows for the installation of additional gauges and sensors throughout the county capable of both emergency and environmental monitoring. The county is working with the National Weather Service and will share data that can be used by the NWS to generate severe weather and flooding alerts.
As part of the system design, a site-specific flood response plan will be developed for each location. Data collected by the system will be coordinated with and incorporated into improved emergency action plans. The flood response plans also will be validated through multi-agency emergency response exercises.
The $390,000 contract is with HDR Engineering Inc. and is good for a five-year period with the option to add additional sites and services if warranted. This project is the first phase of a system capable of real-time monitoring and recording of stream, lake, tide and rainfall conditions. In addition to enhanced public safety the information collected by the system will also provide valuable information needed to monitor and improve the quality of streams and manage existing county stormwater infrastructure.
For more information about the contract, contact Randy Bartlett in the Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services, at 703-324-5500, TTY 711.

HOUSTON - Harris County prosecutors asked a judge to consider imposing a gag order "on all parties" involved in the case of day care owner Jessica Tata in the fire deaths of four children, Local 2 Investigates reported Thursday.
Judge Marc Brown of the 180th Harris County District Court told the prosecutor to file a formal motion so that his request could be considered.
No formal motion was filed in Thursday morning's court hearing, for which Tata was not in the courtroom.
Assistant District Attorney Steve Baldassano, the lead prosecutor on her case, told the judge that selecting a jury would be "impossible" because of the media attention the case is getting.
When asked by Local 2 Investigates to answer a question about his request, Baldassano replied, "That's not going to happen."
Also in court, Tata's defense lawyer, Mike DeGuerin, filed a Motion for Writ of Habeas Corpus in hopes of having Tata released from jail on a lower bond.
In his motion, DeGuerin said the $1.1 million bail now in place is unconstitutional.
"This amount is illegally excessive," he wrote.
His motion asserts that typical bail would be much lower for someone charged with four counts of intentional murder, but DeGuerin asserted that all four deaths in Tata's day care were not intentional.
"First, (Tata) and then personnel from the Houston Fire department attempted to save the children," he wrote.
His motion requests bond to be lowered to $50,000 so that she can be released pending trial.
The judge scheduled a hearing for June 27 to consider the motion for lower bond.
The motion for lower bail included a color photograph, which has appeared in the newspaper on numerous occasions, showing Tata crying outside the fire scene as evidence that the deaths were not intentional.
The motion asks bond to be lowered, "to be consistent with our notion of presumption of innocence and due process of law and to give credence to the (Texas) constitution."
DeGuerin met with Tata, who was brought to a holding cell adjacent to the courtroom for the hearing, but bailiffs did not bring her into the courtroom.

I am referring to the opaque glass that he used in his design because I am looking for the name( if it has one in specifically), and I haven't found it.
Bendheim Wall Systems/ Okalux
it was only a matter of time before glass block made a comeback.
Is the thickness of the glass on those website? And, I also want to know about the frame.
there are top and bottom rails. In Holl's example you could say that cast glass channels are framed in structural steel.
The "frame" is a variation of this detail: http://www.bendheimwall.com/popup-v60.htm
and i believe jwl is right, the horizontal mullions are a result of height limitations.
unless he's switched manufacturer's, he's using the bendheim product. know for a fact since his project at cranbrook and one i was working on at u.mass were the first 2 in the u.s. to use their system and they were sending over reps from europe to work through the details with us both.
There's a Nelson Atkins wall section in this blog post:
The problem is glass block with out some sort of significant production/ material breakthrough is restricted by size and shape due to the nature of casting glass and the cooling process. The planer glass cools faster than the corners and when this happens it literally explodes. Renzo's Hermes store in Tokyo is the biggest glass block ever mass produced on a large scale. Seves an Italian company made the blocks. Also it's not self supporting and its environmental performance is crap. Anyways...there ought to be ways to achieve the same look with increased structural and performance qualities.
Keep in mind it is part of a much thicker wall section with two layers and much more conventional construction inside.
"Anyways...there ought to be ways to achieve the same look with increased structural and performance qualities." This is what passes for innovation nowadays, creating your own technological problem for the sake of looks. I have no problem with trying to design something cool, but it sort of undercuts the moral superiority of so many architects who look down on those who try to design for people rather than a magazine cover.
@ thayer-d, I meant using other existing technologies/ material with higher thermal performance and structural properties you could achieve a similar architectural look of glass block with out reinventing something that clearly has its limits. sorry for my poor writing but you're also quick to jump to conclusions given a few sentences about glass block...take it easy man.
orion, I'll try to reply with out making you think I'm taking off my shirt, so don't take this too personally. I know exactly what you ment, becasue you're earlier statement is clear. My point was this architect and many others go out of their way technologically and materially to achieve certain looks in complete contrast to how materials function best. It kind of undercuts the usual slams on traditional archtiecture as "nostalgic facades" when in actual material and technological performance they would blow this confection away.
It reminds me of a story I read about the empire state building. A typical modernist would say this stone clad deco/gothic skyscraper is a sham becasue as everyone knows, there's no way the stone walls aren't load bearing. Turns out it takes wind driven rain a lot longer to travel through stone cladding with cmu block backup. In those terms alone, it would seem the Empire State's cladding is technologically superior than many glass skyscrapers, to say nothing about the thermal qualities, and the fact that people tend to feel queasy against a glass wall 75 stories up.
My point is not to supress exploration of materials or aesthetics, I could care less what flavor icecream one likes, but if I'm going to make the best icecream, I might look at how best to combine natural ingredients rather than pine for the next Monsanto Corn Syrup product to create good ice cream. In that spirit, when you train archtiects with ideological blinders, you keep the most obvious solutions for whatever they might invent hidden in plain sight. I hope you don't read this comment as an angry screed, but rather just as a common sense inquary into a statement you posed, which was thought provoking. That's a compliment.
Bendheim Wall Systems supplied Lamberts channel glass for Steven Holl's landmark Bloch Building, see the brochure from Lamberts at www.bendheimwall.com/pdf_other/Nelson-Atkins_Museum_of_Art_Bloch_Building.pdf. An image of the interior cavity can be seen at the wed site of Elliptipar, the lighting manufacturer, www.elliptipar.com/CaseStudies/ell_NelsonAtkins.pdf.

NFTE Baltimore has started the school year off with a unique partnership with two Departments within the Baltimore City Mayor's Office. Our engagement with these city offices brings a new prominence to our work in Baltimore City and validates the importance of our work across the Baltimore Metro business community! It is these types of relationships that help NFTE bring sustainable change to the economic landscape of Baltimore City through our work with Baltimore City students. The support by the Mayor and two of her prominent departments also brings a wealth of business expertise availability to our Baltimore City students! Through these partnerships our students have access to a variety of entrepreneurs and business professionals who can help students understand the role of entrepreneurship and how it can change their lives for the better!
NFTE Baltimore Staff with Mayor Stephanie Rawlings Blake
Our first engagement is with the Mayor's Office of Employment and Development (MOED). We have been awarded a grant from Wells Fargo supporting our efforts in the Youth Opportunity Center (YOC). YOC is a school operated by the MOED, and serves as a "drop in center" for students who previously had dropped out of Baltimore City Public Schools. NFTE Baltimore will engage a cohort of 20 young men ages 16-21 as they work towards their GED, acquire other workforce development skills and engage in the NFTE Program.
MOED and the YOC administrators have been waiting for the opportunity to bring NFTE into their programs as they see NFTE programming as core to their mission for helping high school drop outs take control of their future and acquire skills that provide increased opportunities to open businesses and become gainfully employed members of the localized workforce.
The second partnership is with the Mayor's office of Minority and Women–Owned Business Development. This partnership has provided opportunities for NFTE students to meet with locally recognized Top 100 Minority Business Enterprises from the Baltimore City region as well as engage with city officials to learn about business development opportunities, challenges and resources available in the City of Baltimore. Increasing student awareness of resources and opportunities to own their own business and engage in innovation and incubation was a key message delivered to the NFTE students.
On October 30th, 2013, our two national finalists, Asia and Zoey, were formally recognized at the Mid Atlantic Top 100 Minority Business Enterprises (MBE). This event hosted awardees from Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. This event recognized businesses that demonstrated business professionalism (leadership through business and professional organizations, client satisfaction, and mentoring), entrepreneurship ( introduction of a new product, process or service) and significant community contributions. After an amazing and heart felt introduction by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Asia and Zoey were invited on stage for recognition of their achievements and photo opportunities with the Mayor.
Students from Carver Vocational and Technical High School met with staff from the Mayor's Advisory Council on Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprises and select representatives from the TOP 100 MBE awardees from the Baltimore City region, on November 1st. Students were able to meet with entrepreneurs in small groups by profession to talk about workforce readiness and 21st Century Skills. Students learned about the Fast Facts of the MBE including but not limited to their business demographics, revenue generation, employment opportunities, sustainability and minority business enterprise certification. The MBE mentors also discussed the role of innovation and entrepreneurship and the struggles and successes that one will encounter from a real life perspective of those who have lived it. The MBE provided a diversity of mentors ranging from lawyers and construction company owners to accountants and engineers.
On November 25th, Asia was "Mayor for the Day", a program that selects exemplary youth from Baltimore City to spend the day shadowing Mayor Stephanie Rawlings Blake. Asia had the opportunity to learn about the role of the Mayor and the inner workings of the city government. Asia also attended two events with the Mayor and her staff. The first was a ground breaking ceremony and the second was a food distribution program serving needy families in Baltimore City.
These engagements demonstrated the commitment of the City of Baltimore to NFTE and the students that we serve. Baltimore is having a great year and looking forward to increasing our "innovative" partnerships with individuals and organizations in Baltimore City!
Happy Holidays from NFTE Baltimore!

After three weeks of a cardiovascular challenge, I hope you not only picked a road race to train for, but you have started the training process. Keep it up! The race will be here before you know it.
Our new challenge, which starts today, builds upon some of that training. Whether a runner, walker, or anything else, building muscle and protecting your joints from injury is an important part of being healthy and fit.
So, our challenge over the next three weeks involves strength training. I'm challenging you to add a strength-training component to your exercise - at least three times a week, commit to building muscle!
Over each of the next three weeks, I'll show you three strength training exercises to add to your training program. Today, a few upper body exercises - but first, some of the benefits of strength training.
Weight lifting obviously makes you stronger, first and foremost. This is important for anyone active, because that added strength cushions and protects joints, and promotes better posture and body mechanics through the added strength.
Strength training also plays a role in decreasing some common medical issues and diseases. Building muscle can effectively decrease arthritis pain in older adults, and significantly increase bone density and reduce the risk of bone fractures. It is also coupled with a cardiovascular exercise program to help those with type 2 diabetes improve glucose control and live a healthier lifestyle.
Maybe the most important aspect of strength training for many are the weight loss benefits derived from it - you not only burn calories during strength training, but also afterwards, since more calories are used to make and promote muscle mass than those used simply after cardiovascular exercise. Pretty simply, more strength training means more calories burned!
Now concerning specific exercises, there are a lot of things to consider. In the video above, I provided three upper body exercises to get you started on our weight lifting challenge. All three of the exercises can be done in a gym or a fitness center, but it's important to remember that not all weight lifting needs to take place on expensive machines, or with a gym membership.
Push-ups, lunges, pull-ups, jump squats, and many more exercises (which we'll focus on over the next few weeks!) all promote muscle growth and weight loss just like any strength exercise on a machine in the gym.
It can take a while to establish your strength training routine, especially as a beginner or someone unfamiliar with exercises. But take the three upper body exercises from this week as a base, and follow up over the next two weeks as I show you lower body and core exercises to complement these three exercises.
So this week, get out there (or in the gym) and take at least 15 minutes, three times this week, to focus on simple strength training exercises to build in after your cardiovascular exercise. No need to go overboard, but build some muscle and burn some extra calories in the process!

Tysons Comprehensive Plan - Transportation - Expanded bicycle facility network
The Comprehensive Plan for the Tysons Corner Urban Center envisions a mixed-use urban center with a more traditional downtown feel; a place which is friendly to bicyclists and pedestrians; a place organized around the four new Silver Line Metrorail stations. This vision includes a network of connected on-road and off-road bicycle facilities so residents, employees and visitors can travel comfortably and safely by bicycle to destinations within and around Tysons Corner. The map above is included in the comprehensive plan and shows a conceptual bicycle network in Tysons Corner. However, the existing transportation network in Tysons, with its superblocks, suburban character, and auto-related land uses, makes bicycling a challenge. Despite these conditions, Tysons has significantly more bicycle trips in, around, and through than other areas of the County.
As Tysons redevelops over time, the existing transportation network will be expanded and transformed to contain the complete streets, with expanded bicycle facilities, as described on the " Complete Streets with Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities" page. A Tysons Corner Bicycle Master Plan has been initiated for Tysons Corner and the areas within a 3-mile radius of Tysons. This plan will include detailed recommendations for physical infrastructure (bike paths, bike lanes, bike parking, etc) to support bicycling in Tysons Corner, as well as policies and programs that are needed to encourage residents and visitors to travel by bicycle. Once this plan is complete, bicycle routes in, around and through Tysons will be refined and an updated map will replace the map shown above in the Comprehensive Plan.

HTC Flyer to be launched sans digital stylus, Scribe Technology pen to be sold separately
0. phoneArena posted on 05 May 2011, 23:23
HTC has been promoting the Scribe Technology on the upcoming HTC Flyer as a way to differentiate it from other tablets; it turns out that the device will be sold without the digital stylus required to write on the capacitive 7 inch screen...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
wowwwwwwww way to go htc and screw up a decent tablet... the one thing that was actually different and unique and god about your tablet you wont even give us? honestly, a little magnetic or whatever it is pen costs 75 dollars! WTF htc its like ur asking ur tablet to fail...
2. DoraRoxx (unregistered)
OMG HTC!!! EPIC FAIL!!! :( God bless Asus EEE MeMo 7" with integrated stylus ! Here I come
3. Whateverman (Posts: 3285; Member since: 17 May 2009)
This thing is going down in flames! You really think people are gonna buy a tablet half the size of the ipad for the same price, and cough up more money for this stylus??? Have you not heard of the Asus Eee Transformer? Just because its Android, doesn't mean we're gonna flock to any old piece of crap you put it on. A few consumers out there may appreciate this tablet, but the other 82% with ipads are gonna stay put if this crap is the best HTC can do!
7. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
It is kind of surprising to see this kind of decision-making by HTC. I would have expected Moto to make a move to over-price their tablet; but HTC? Oh well.
Maybe HTC will come to their senses when the Flyer sales don't meet expectations.
8. vishu9 (Posts: 252; Member since: 03 Mar 2011)
Flyer u just got shot..and going down!
9. Yung Meeage (unregistered)
Honestly if you guys don't want the tablet then don't purchase it. Especially because from day one on the HTC website they stated that the scribe pen would be sold separately.
10. SavageLucy42 (Posts: 211; Member since: 24 Mar 2011)
It's not even pressure sensitive is it?
15. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
no its a capacitive screen. the stylus basically just mimics your finger but with an obiously smaller point of contact to be "a pen". 80 bux? heck no!
im sory, but that puts this thing at right under 600, its only 7 inches, it doesnt have honeycomb on it... REALLY!?!? You can get a full sized asus transformer with a bigger processor, honeycomb, more memory, and a keypad for that..get 4x the battery and a full sized keyboard which negates the stylus needs for 99% of anything anyways.
HTC fail.
11. jjrams (unregistered)
The absence of an included stylus, for me, isn't necessarily a deal breaker; along with the stylus, I'm also interested in the form factor, something smaller than the Ipad and more portable. Nevertheless, it is a disappointment that the stylus isn't included. HTCs advertisements are disingenuous, namely because they heavily promote the stylus and therefore imply that it's included. There's a chance with enough outrage that HTC will rethink this move, and if nothing else lower the price to a more rational number
12. Danger dan (unregistered)
As an marketing and advertising consultant I am constantly surprised at these bad decisions that the big companies keep making. Their marketing budgets are huge, and yet somehow there is not a single person on staff able to tell them that this kind of ploy is nothing but bad-will. I sometimes wonder if I live in Kafka-land.
You don't market something as "one product" and then tell people that they have to pay twice for it. You just don't do that.
13. BK (unregistered)
Would you rather then decide to charge $599.99 and INCLUDE the pen?
And FYI...a 7'' screen is not HALF of a 10.1" iPad screen.
14. BK (unregistered)
Oops..."rather they include the pen, then charge..."
Proof reading saves lives...
16. Whateverman (Posts: 3285; Member since: 17 May 2009)
BK - Just looking at the math, you are right. The screen size of the Flyer isn't half the size of the iPad. Especially if the are both held horizontally. But physically the Flyer is half the size when you turn the iPad vertically. If you were to take two Flyers (horizontally) and stack the one on top of the other, and put an iPad (vertically) next to them, they would be roughly the same size. That's what I meant by "half the size".
17. Arwen in NJ (unregistered)
1. Capacitative stylus with buttons for drawing/erasing. A little bit more than a device that "just basically mimics your finger".
2. Comes with Android 2.2 but will be updated to Honeycomb.
Personally, I like the 7" devices. They fit in my purse so I can easily carry them all of the time- a 10" table does not. I carry a Nook Color with me now- which is going to be replaced by the Flyer. I am PO'd that the pen is going to cost extra, but I am still going to get one. I am hoping that handwriting OCR software comes along soon- that will make this device indispensable for my business trips where I take hand written customer notes that I now spend my night in the hotel room turning into e-mails, reports, to-do lists etc. on my laptop... :-(

Oops.. Android 2.3.3, not Android 2.2

Sorrow is better than laughter
For by grieving, we're improved.
Blessed be all who morn
Till from sadness they're removed.
After death our souls shall fly
Perhaps from star to star
Reaching our destination
To find Heaven's gate ajar.
God made us able to cry
Sorrow teaches us to fear
Those days were selfish and cruel
When life is so short and dear.
Time wipes tears from all faces
Whose hearts are tuned to sorrow.
Those that cry a thousand tears
Shall be blessed by tomorrow.

Sherbet. It's not quite ice. It's not quite ice cream. What is it exactly? And why is it sherbet not sher-bey, you know, like sorbet? Well, it turns out that sherbet is derived from the Persian word sharbat, which is a sweetened fruit drink. Over the years sherbet has evolved and depending on whom you ask about sherbet, you might get very different answers. For the Brits, sherbet is a powder that fizzes when combined with water. For Americans, it's a frozen dessert found in the freezer case alongside ice cream and sorbet. By federal law (yes, there are federal laws about these things), stateside sherbet must contain dairy ingredients and a certain percentage of milk fat.
Sherbet doesn't have to be the bland, kind of cloying, neon-dyed confection you might remember from your youth. In fact, it can be a lovely way to showcase fruit in a dessert that's a little less decadent than ice cream but not quite as sweet as an ice or sorbet. This is a recipe I first played with last July and one that's stayed with me ever since. The balsamic and strawberries are up front and center on the initial taste but it finishes with the tang of buttermilk. I'm already looking forward to the first strawberries at the farmer's market. In the meantime, here's an easy recipe that works beautifully with frozen berries for a light and refreshing treat that tastes like the promise of summer.

(CBS/AP) Federal health officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are warning that kids with neurological disorders face a high risk of death if they get the flu.
A study by CDC scientists looked at more than 300 influenza-related deaths in children during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. It found 60 percent had an underlying condition, and two-thirds of those kids had a neurologic disorder such as cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, or epilepsy.
Do flu shots cause the flu? 12 influenza vaccine myths busted
FDA approves new flu vaccine for 2012-2013 season
Health Center: Cold & Flu
The CDC's Dr. Georgina Peacock, a pediatrician and coauthor of the study, says flu is especially dangerous for kids who have problems with "muscle function, lung function or difficulty coughing, swallowing or clearing fluids from their airways."
"These problems are sometimes experienced by children with neurologic disorders," added Peacock in a CDC press release.
Seventy-five percent of children with a neurologic condition who died from the 2009 pandemic also had an additional high risk condition that increased their risk for influenza complications, such as a pulmonary disorder, metabolic disorder, heart disease or a chromosomal abnormality.
With this year's flu season about to begin, the CDC is joining the American Academy of Pediatrics, Families Fighting Flu and Family Voices to stress the importance of flu vaccine for these children who are most vulnerable to influenza.
"Partnering with the American Academy of Pediatrics, influenza advocacy groups and family led-organizations CAN help prevent influenza in children at highest risk," CDC Director Dr. Thomas R. Frieden said in the press release.
The CDC has more on seasonal flu.

Lindsay Lohan doesn't have a drinking problem
I think the thing I love most about these pics of a shit-faced Lindsay Lohan falling on her ass is that she still managed to pull it off even with a police escort. No, really, I'm sure these guys were reluctant to show up in the first place, but soon realized they were protecting an entire neighborhood from a fire-breathing blowjob goblin. That's why they became cops, dammit.
UPDATE: Lindsay claims the paparazzi pushed her into the tree which very well could be the case. Then again, you still have to factor in this occurred at 5:30 a.m. this morning while leaving a house party and gin makes Lindsay forget Michael Lohan's sperm is part of her DNA. It's a vicious cycle.

Baseball Prospectus News
MLB Depth Charts Team Pages Now at Baseball Prospectus
The in-depth organizational depth charts formerly available at mlbdepthcharts.com have now officially transitioned to Baseball Prospectus! Not everything has moved, but the most important feature, the team pages, has.
Click here to access the MLBDC homepage at Baseball Prospectus. You can access this page from anywhere at BP by mousing over the "Depth Charts" button on the navbar at the top of the site, then clicking on "MLBDepthCharts Home." (Please note that the depth charts containing the playing time projections that power PECOTA are still alive and well on their own homepage, which is accessible through the same dropdown menu. I maintain both sets of depth charts, so they should match up at the major-league level.)
You'll see the links for all 30 teams on this page. From each individual page, you'll be able to jump to other team pages with the quick links at the top. I'll be re-directing all links on the home page of mlbdepthcharts.com over to BP.
And don't worry if you're not a BP subscriber. This content will remain free (although you may see some related links to content that is accessible only by subscribers).
The process to re-create features that you're familiar with at MLBDC, and new features, will be based on priority determined by reader feedback. So if there's something that you cannot function without, please send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com, and let me know. For anything we decide is integral, we will try to create (or recreate) it here at Baseball Prospectus as soon as possible, or make it easily available on the mlbdepthcharts.com site.
This move is being made to provide me with more res>ources so I can continue to add great features for readers. I will also have a much easier editing system in place to ensure that the depth charts are updated as quickly as possible.
Please let me know if you have any questions and concerns.

Jason maintains the depth charts for both the listings format (linked above) and the projected playing percentages on the PECOTA depth charts and projected standings so they should closely mirror each other. He's been doing both for two years now.

Nice work! This is a great addition to the site and one I'll reference often.

MILITARY officers joined a meeting of agencies involved in the Marlow flood relief effort this morning, as more heavy rain forecast for the next couple of days.
The joint service co-ordination centre in the Court Garden car park outside Marlow Town Council's offices is playing host to a number of agencies working to protect residents from the deluge.
RAF squadron leader Liam Mitchell joined representatives from Thames Valley Police, Bucks Fire and Rescue, Wycombe District Council, Marlow Town Council and Transport for Buckinghamshire.
The meeting inside the Command Unit Vehicle sought to give each agency a chance to co-ordinate, feed information to one another and agree priorities over the coming days.
Wycombe District Council has reportedly agreed to send an environmental health officer to the town this weekend to monitor the quality of the water affecting people's homes.
There are fears over overflowing sewers and cesspits polluting the floodwater and proving a health risk, with flood-hit Garnet Court resident Jeremy Chinn saying the water in the street had begun to "really smell".
A housing officer could also be deployed to Marlow this weekend to assess the damage and act if needed.
Police have vowed to step up patrols to reassure residents and to protect properties evacuated due to flooding.
Sgt Kevin Read said: "Our role locally at the moment is one primarily of reassurance patrols in the affected areas.
"This comprises of contacting vulnerable persons and advising or referring them accordingly and also keeping an eye on vulnerable or vacant premises.
"We are working closely with all the agencies involved and assisting wherever asked."
Troops are currently using Bisham School as a base for their work along the river, and are helping residents secure their properites should the flooding get worse.
Volunteers from Plymouth Brethren Christian Church have been supplying food and drink to firefighters, volunteers and other agencies using the communications centre.
Businesses have also offered their help, including High Street delicatessen Gather and Hunt.
And Marlow's double Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge even came to the rescue by bringing soup from his award-winning Hand and Flowers restaurant on Tuesday.
Firefighters have confirmed they will remain in Marlow at least until the middle of next week.
Crews' round-the-clock pumping operations are thought to have saved around 150 homes from imminent disaster since the weekend.
The Court Garden incident centre is also acting as a sandbag station, with Bucks County Council teams stockpiling the flood defences there for residents to collect.

SOMERS — Kennedy Catholic High School 2008 graduate Sam Morales knows what it's like to celebrate Christmas from inside a hospital. She remembers being there with her brother, Nolan Morales from the class of 2005, while he was undergoing treatment for cancer.
Nolan Morales died in January of 2005, but his sister still recalls how nice it felt to be surprised by Samaritans delivering presents to the hospital on Christmas. And for the past four years, Sam Morales and her boyfriend, Ryan Silberquit, have been doing their part to bring a little bit of Christmas to children in local hospitals.
It began four years ago, when Morales and Silberquit visited the Build-A-Bear Workshop at the Danbury Fair Mall on Christmas Eve. But instead of bringing their cuddly creature home, they went to the Putnam Hospital Center to find someone in need of holiday hugs.
"The nurses were thrilled and delivered it to whoever was admitted there that night," Morales said. "From that point on, we decided it was something we wanted to do every year."
Last Christmas, they extended the invitation to friends and hoped to end up with 10 bears. Their charity was rewarded with almost 20, plus other kid-friendly toys and games, which were taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital. This year, the couple is building toward a goal of 40 bears that can be delivered to multiple area hospitals.
Morales and Silberquit look to gather friends and family together at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Danbury Fair Mall Build-A-Bear Workshop store to stuff their holiday spirit into what they are calling "Cubs for Christmas."
Less than 24 hours after creating a Facebook event www.facebook.com/events/263409147115937/, 22 people had already signed up for bear building.
"While I never taught Sam, I am incredibly proud that our alumni continue to act with courage and compassion," the Rev. Mark Vaillancourt, president of Kennedy, said. "She has turned a difficult personal memory into a positive Christmas for area children. To quote O. Henry's 'The Gift of the Magi', 'let it be said that of all who give gifts, these two were the wisest'."

Rays sweep rival Yankees to win fifth straight
Rodriguez homers, drives in three; 'pen preserves Odorizzi's victory
NEW YORK -- A sweep. The perfect tonic for a team hoping to salvage a season.
Wednesday afternoon, the Rays completed a three-game sweep of the Yankees with a 6-3 win at Yankee Stadium. And, suddenly, the look of a team considered out of contention seems to have life.
The victory extended the Rays' season-best win streak to five games as they moved to 38-49. Tampa Bay will take a 6-1 record on its current road trip to Detroit for a four-game weekend series against the Tigers that begins Thursday night.
Sean Rodriguez, who had not played since Saturday in Baltimore, started at shortstop and quickly knocked off the rust with an RBI single in the fourth inning and a two-run home run in the sixth that traveled 445 feet over the center-field wall.
"How about Sean's homer? That's out of the old [Yankee Stadium] with regular dimensions in center field," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "... He's hit home runs here in the past. He normally hits the ball pretty well in this ballpark."
Rodriguez's eighth home run of the season put the Rays up, 5-3.
"It felt good, I hit it clean," Rodriguez said. "... It feels good, not only to take advantage of it, but just being able to contribute. That's essentially what you're trying to do every game is just trying to find a way to contribute."
The Yankees opened the scoring when Brett Gardner led off their half of the first by homering to right off Rays starter Jake Odorizzi.
Against Yankees starter Vidal Nuno, who allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits over five-plus innings, Kevin Kiermaier scored on a passed ball in the third to tie the score, but the Yankees answered in the bottom half of the inning when catcher Brian McCann redeemed himself for the passed ball with his 10th home run of the season.
Rodriguez's RBI single in the fourth tied the score at 2, but Gardner's RBI single in the bottom half of the inning put the Yankees up, 3-2.
"That was really frustrating," Odorizzi said of Gardner's hit. "Made my pitch, got the result I wanted, weak contact, it seemed to find [its] way through a lot of those times. Nothing you can do. Home runs happen, solos don't beat you, but [Gardner's RBI] was the one that kind of stung me the most."
Brandon Guyer's RBI single in the fifth drove home Desmond Jennings to tie the score at 3, and after Rodriguez's clutch blast, James Loney drove in the Rays' final run when he grounded out to first with the bases loaded in the ninth.
Odorizzi held the Yankees to three runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings to pick up his fourth win of the season.
"Jake pitched well enough," Maddon said. "He wasn't as sharp as he can be, but all of a sudden the curve became relevant with the game in progress, and that made it even better for him."
The Rays' bullpen was without Grant Balfour and Jake McGee, who were resting and unavailable Wednesday, but they certainly made it work.
Cesar Ramos retired Yangervis Solarte for the final out of the sixth. Juan Carlos Oviedo and Joel Peralta -- who made his club-record-tying 266th appearance as a pitcher -- posted scoreless frames in the seventh and eighth, respectively. Then Brad Boxberger tossed a scoreless ninth to preserve the win and earn his first save of the season.
"Bullpen: great," Maddon said. "Ramos got a big out of Solarte. Oviedo was outstanding, he had not pitched in four or five days, and then he came out and did that. Joel. Then, of course, Boxey at the end. ... We're building this combination with Jake and The Box."
The Yankees currently are on a different track than the Rays, losing for the fifth straight time and falling below .500.
"I thought we did swing the bats better today," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Unfortunately, we didn't score enough runs, and some of our rallies were a couple outs and we never got a big hit."
Clearly, Maddon likes the way his team is playing and, particularly, the way everybody seems to be contributing.
"We're getting a different bus driver on a daily basis," Maddon said. "That's kind of neat. That's what we need. That's who we have to be. We're not necessarily built around one guy. We're built as a group, and everybody's got to do their job. And that's the concept I've been trying to promote among them."

Up to a whopping 22 mm in length with bright metallic green
coloration, the native Rainbow Scarab, Phanaeus vindex, is
the largest and most spectacular of the about 90 dung beetle
species inhabiting Colorado. It is rarely seen because it spends
its time under cattle and
bison dung pats working on its nest. It digs tunnels under the
dung pat and pushes dung portions to the end of those tunnels as
food for its larvae. Only the males have the long horn on the head.
DMNS Curator of Entomology, Dr. Frank Krell,
found this specimen at Chico Basin Ranch in El
Paso County on May 14, 2011. It is a new county record for this
In ecosystems with large mammals dung beetles
are a crucial component of the nutrient cycle by being responsible
for breaking up dung and reintegrating dung portions into the soil.
Compared to other grassland ecosystems, the dung beetle fauna of
the North American plains is currently rather poor, and is heavily
invaded by European species. The dung recycling seems to be rather
incomplete. When 30-60 million bison had roamed the Great Plains
and produced at least 100-200 billion dung pats per year, a more
abundant dung beetle fauna can be assumed, with large dung rollers
or the Rainbow Scarab having been present in much higher numbers
than today. The dung beetle fauna of Colorado and other grassland
ecosystems world-wide are studied in-depth by the
Entomology Program at the Denver Museum of Nature &

Coaxial warp drive, also known as coaxial induction drive or simply coaxial drive, was a propulsion system that functioned by drawing in subatomic particles and reconfiguring their internal geometries. This allowed a starship the capability to fold the fabric of space, allowing it to travel instantaneously across extremely large distances. (VOY: "Vis à Vis")
By the 24th century, the concept of coaxial warp drive had been hypothesized by Starfleet engineers.
In 2374, an experimental coaxial warp ship was piloted by a shapeshifter with the ability to switch its DNA with another individual, in essence switching bodies. The shapeshifter and its ship was encountered by the crew of the USS Voyager in the Delta Quadrant. At the time, the shapeshifter was pretending to be a Benthan named Steth and claimed that the ship was also of Benthan origin.
Emerging from coaxial space in an unstable condition, the vessel threatened to explode and collapse space within a radius of a billion kilometers. Such a catastrophe was averted, however, when Tom Paris, Voyager's helmsman, managed to generate a symmetric warp field around the coaxial warp ship, containing the instabilities in the space-folding core. The drive of the craft was imperfect, as particle instabilities tended to overload the engines. To correct for this flaw, Paris conceived of the idea of using a polaric modulator to dilute the particle stream as it entered the coaxial core, drawing inspiration from a 20th century device known as a carburetor.
The Voyager crew eventually discovered that the impostor was not who he claimed to be when he switched places with Captain Janeway, in an attempted to escape from Voyager using a Starfleet class 2 shuttle modified to use coaxial warp drive. Paris was able to prevent the escape by targeting the polaric modulator with a chromoelectric pulse, disrupting the shuttles engines. (VOY: "Vis à Vis")

Water safety campaigner Laurie Lawrence says a controversial new ACT school swimming policy is a sign of a system "going mad".
The former Olympic swimming coach believes a tough new competency test for Canberra students, issued to schools this week, could be counter-productive.
In order to swim, students will be tested to see if they can enter the pool, walk five metres, swim 25 metres, call for help while floating or treading water for one minute, exit the pool unassisted and perform a voice rescue of another buddy.
Students who pass the exam will then wear a blue tag and require 20:1 teacher supervision and those who don't will be given a yellow tag and require 10:1 supervision.
"The system is going mad," he said.
"Surely common sense has got to prevail. You shouldn't need legislation to take kids to swim. You can't put kids in cotton wool forever."
Ten schools have already cancelled end-of-year fun days, which Lawrence said were important for building children's confidence.
"Its really to the detriment of the kids from enjoying the water. Kid's don't just learn to swim from formal lessons, many learn from exploration, just as they do when they learn to walk or ride a bike," Lawrence said.
His concern echoes that of the Royal Life Saving Society, which has called for the ACT Government to reconsider its policy.
Mr Lawrence said schools should ask parents to assist them on swimming carnivals and fun days, keep students in shallow water while they are learning and just be extra careful.
But he said that parents have got to take the responsibility to teach their kids to swim.
"Parents have to realise that summer is here. This is the most dangerous time for kids and lets see if we can get through this summer with no preschool aged deaths."
He recommends parents should take their kids to classes twice a week and then to the pool to explore and practice swimming in shallow water.

Game Day Central: WVU vs. Texas Tech
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia University football coach Dana Holgorsen addressed members of the media today.
Opening Statement
Coming off the bye week, it has been a good situation for us over the last two days. We gave the team this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. Assistant coaches were able to get out on the road and recruit, and I am really happy with how that is going. The reception has been very good. Our theory and motivation on this was to get the team away from everything Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
We had a great day yesterday. Typically we give them Monday off, but with no school because of fall break it played into our hands in getting ready to play Texas Tech. We had a good day of practice yesterday as well as meetings and a lift this morning. They have done what I have asked them to do once again, which is come back in the right frame of mind and be energetic and excited about the task at hand, which is once again tough.
We didn't play very well in the last Big 12 game that we played. Good news is we get a chance to redeem ourselves against another top-20 opponent that is undefeated. This is the fourth time we have played an undefeated and ranked team in the Big 12. The challenge is large, but I can assure you we are up for the challenge and will put our best foot forward, not only in preparation but also on game day on Saturday. I would expect a very festive atmosphere in Morgantown on Saturday. I do not know why that would not be the case. I would assume everyone is excited about getting to the game at noon. This is the fourth time we will have gone through the routine of a Friday and Saturday when we play at noon, so we will be prepared for that.
I do think our team will be prepared for what Texas Tech brings to the table. Offensively, it is something that we know very well. Obviously, (I have a) history with (Texas Tech head coach) Kliff (Kingsbury), and I know what he has done offensively and how he operates. We are both cut from the same cloth. So, we are going to know what they do offensively. Obviously, the challenge is to stop it. They play very up-tempo and very high energy. They are playing with guys who are used to playing in that type of an offense. When he (Kingsbury) got there, he inherited a receiver, running back and offensive line group that has played in that type of a system. He (Kingsbury) brings something different to the table from an energy standpoint. The technique and point of view that allows him to get things across to guys allows them to play with tremendous confidence and energy.
Defensively, I thought they were decent last year; they slipped as the year went on. They have new coaches and scheme, defensively. They are executing at a very high level. I do not think it is ironic that what they do defensively resembles what we do because I think it is tough to coach against. With the spread offenses, it is tough to coach against the 3-4 defense, which is why we do it here. The fronts will be the same, but there will be different concepts in the coverage. They have about eight returning starters on defense - a lot of the guys we played against last year. They're just in a little bit different of a scheme. We will be familiar with them; they will be familiar with us. It should be a great battle in Morgantown, and we are really looking forward to the challenge.
On using the bye week to self-evaluate
Everybody does that to an extent. We looked at it like everybody does to see if we developed any tendencies. Offensively, we have been subpar at everything so there really aren't any tendencies. The only tendency is that we really are not great at anything. We looked at it very closely, and we have identified as coaches what we do well and what we do not do well. We are not shifting guys around as we have. We do understand what our personality is offensively, and now we just have to get good at it and gain some confidence.
We have to make some plays and continue to try to get better at the small things we ask the team to do. As soon as that happens, and we pick up steam, we will look a little bit better to the human eye, which means points. We have done a decent job at making plays and moving the ball, but we have not done a good job at scoring points. Obviously that's a problem, and it is my job to get us there - I have said that since media days long before the season started. We have a lot of inexperience and a lot of guys that have never played football. That is not an excuse to not be productive, and it is my job to get us there.
On what the defense worked on during the bye week
They overcame that (the loss to Baylor) - kids are resilient. It was a poor performance defensively and offensively. It was a little bit of a buzz saw because Baylor played very well. You cannot sit there and dwell on it forever - you have to put that one to rest and get back out there and keep working. That is what we did, and we expect to have a lot better of a defensive performance at Saturday.
On Texas Tech junior tight end Jace Amaro
He is big, fast and strong, and he blocks well and catches well. He is pretty good. He should come out after his junior year. What happened last year is that we injured him so he had to come out, and he was on the shelf the rest of the year. This year he has been hard to contain. We saw it up close and personal last year. He is a guy that can do a lot of different things. He creates a tremendous amount of mismatches not just for us but everybody they have played since then. I do not know how to stop him; you try to double cover him but that opens up room for some other good skill guys as well. He poses a lot of problems, and they have done a good job at utilizing him to get first downs and open up things for some other people.
On the best part of the bye week
I told them to come back in the right frame of mind. (I said) here are three days, go be human beings, get away from it (football). I encouraged them to watch Texas Tech Saturday. I would assume a high percentage of them did. (I told them to) enjoy some time off with family and come back ready to work. We had a great day yesterday and have had a great morning so far. I would think that being able to regroup and reenergize is more (important) than anything.
On the offense
It is no secret that we are going try to establish the run and be more physical up front than we have in the past. We have done a pretty good job in my opinion of getting the play started in the run game but have not done a great job at getting the play started in the pass game. They have to go hand-in-hand - in order to be a good offensive football team, you have to be able to do both. We have had a more difficult time in the pass game for a lot of different reasons. That is not an excuse to not being successful; we have to focus on that, and we have focused on it. We have inexperienced guys all around. When it comes to running routes, catching balls and timing with the quarterbacks because the quarterback are inexperienced or because we are playing three of them, whatever it is we have to get better at it and get the play started and be able to take advantage of plays down the field when teams crowd the box and try to take the run away from us.
On changes to the playbook with changes at quarterback
It changes a little bit. There are certain things that each guy does well, and that's going to come up. We have to get to a point where it does not matter who the guy is, we have to be able to execute. We have had enough snaps with each of them to know what they do not do well, to where everybody else around them has to identify that (weakness) and execute the play that has been called. What we are going through at quarterback a lot of teams are going through it as well. It has happened at Texas, Texas Tech, Kansas State, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. Everyone is dealing with the same thing, and it is not an excuse to not be successful. We have three quarterbacks that we put out there and play. Regardless of which one we do it with, we have to be able to execute plays based on what is called. That is what the job of everyone else around the quarterback is. Would I prefer it to be different, sure, but so would everyone else in the Big 12. If you look at the top teams in the country, they all have very solid quarterback play with one quarterback. That is the way it was in the Big 12 last year. Everybody had a solid, seasoned and experienced quarterback. Offenses were generating a lot more yards and points last year. It's the way it is, and everyone has to deal with it.
On recovery for the injured quarterbacks
Good. The week off did (redshirt junior)
Clint Trickett
well. (Junior)
Paul Millard
has done what we have asked of him each and every week and has been healthy and done a good job. (Redshirt-freshman)
Ford Childress
got more work this week than last week, and that probably took a toll on him; he has to do a little bit better.
On the increase in the running game
I deal with it. What am I going to do about it? It is challenging, and we saw it coming so we have geared what we have done to try to overcome it a little bit. We have that in certain situations, but not enough in the three games in which we lost against three pretty good teams. I have had this talk with the offensive coaches and players to not lose sight of who we are. The biggest thing is trying to get better at something each and every day. We cannot get discouraged. We need to work hard at it and keep our confidence high. Eventually, it will get better and easier. It is so hard for a new quarterback to throw to new receivers. It really is, and we have so much inexperience at each position that it does not look good at times. It will get better. It has, and it will continue to get better over the next six weeks.
On converting third downs
Our offensive philosophy is regardless of if it is third-and-short or third-and-long, we need to be able to convert. That is defenses doing different things on their downs, which poses problems on offense. Texas Tech does a good job on third down. They are getting off the field 72 percent of the time, which is pretty good. So defenses change what they do, and offenses need to be able to adjust to that.
We are still trying to figure out how to do things well instead of getting to a point offensively where your trying to focus on what the defense is doing and how to attack it successfully. With an average offense and a lot of inexperience at key positions, it is tough to get first downs on second-and-five, let alone third-and-five. It is all part of the process and gaining experience and knowledge on what we are asking the team to do. We tell the team to be aware of situations and tell them what to expect. We prepare them for those situations and to know what to expect on specific third downs. When you're having problems on first-and-10, it is a lot harder on third-and-10. You have to get good at routine plays and execution on what the play is and try to put the ball in play and get positive yards. The more success you have doing that, you would be surprised that many routine plays turn into bigger plays. You make a guy miss here or there and get first downs on second-and-five instead of having to deal with third-and-four.
On transition of (redshirt-junior offensive lineman)
Mark Glowinski
He is doing well. He is a physical guy. He has come light years in one year. He did not have a great high school career and was a late bloomer. He has not been playing offensive line since he was 10. Really with him and the junior college guys, although it is tough because you recruit junior colleges for a reason, if they can come in and redshirt it does them a lot of good, especially on offensive line. We were able to do that with (redshirt-freshman linebacker)
Martez Stone
, so I anticipate he is going to be a pretty productive player for us next year after. If you can afford to do it, it really pays off for you. The problem is having the luxury to be able to do it. How many of our other junior college guys redshirted? Not many of them.
On the health of (junior linebacker)
Jared Barber
and (redshirt-sophomore linebacker)
Nick Kwiatkoski
Nick is back. He missed two games and did not practice last week but was back yesterday. We will get him back in the mix because he was our most productive linebacker after three games. He will make us better defensively. Jared is a guy that is solid and, much like (senior linebacker)
Doug Rigg
, they are program guys that are going to try hard and be in the right position. Nick is a guy that makes more dynamic plays. If he is healthy, he will be a starter.
On the overall team's health
Everyone else is good to go. (Senior wide receiver)
Ivan McCartney
has had a head thing for three weeks, and I am not sure if he will be cleared to play or not. I do not get into the whole concussion thing. (Sophomore cornerback)
Ricky Rumph
went out of a game against Baylor and he will be a stretch to play. Finally (redshirt-junior)
Wes Tonkery
is out for about six weeks; he is the only other long-term guy. He broke his thumb and will be out for about six weeks and will be back toward the end of the year. Other than that, the long-term guys are all doing well. Everyone else is day-to-day.
(Sophomore defensive lineman)
Christian Brown
is out for the year. He had a weight room injury two to three weeks ago. He is able to use this as his redshirt year. He did not redshirt as a true freshman. He played in the first couple of games, but the way the NCAA works with the rule he will be able to redshirt.
On the importance of the bye week on quarterbacks' timing
We went out and practiced on Tuesday and Wednesday with a light practice on Thursday (last week). Not as much practice time as we would have had in a regular game week. Plus, we were trying to rep a lot of the younger and scout team guys so we had some longer practices with those guys. If you get out there and practice like you're about to play a game, it defeats the purpose of trying to heal up. You're trying to get out there and practice 40 hours with the guys, but at what point does that defeat the purpose of being able to use the bye week as a re-energy thing. It is going to take more than a week to get all of these guys on the same page. No one is running out of patience more than I am. I understand peoples' frustration. We are going to keep going along, keep practicing and hopefully it gets to them pretty quick.
On special teams during bye week
We got out there and worked each unit each day. How much can you really work on it and get accomplished what you want to get accomplished with it? We did not work those very much at all.
