INDOT Moving Forward with Two-Step Screening Process
In September 2017, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced plans to study the reconstruction of the North Split – the existing interchange where I-65 and I-70 meet on the northeast side of downtown Indianapolis. As part of that study, INDOT began work on an Environmental Assessment (EA), as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
Media coverage was widespread and stakeholder meetings were well-attended. And community interest has continued to grow during the past six months.
Nearly all stakeholders agree the North Split interchange and the 32 bridges within the project footprint are deteriorating and in need of repair. But some question whether just rebuilding the interchange is the right solution. Based on feedback from several community organizations, INDOT agreed to broaden the study, and is now developing and screening alternatives in a two-step screening process.
Step 1 is a System Level screening considering alternatives to improve the full downtown interstate system. The System Level screening will confirm or redefine project-level alternatives for the North Split Project.
Step 2 is a Project Level screening of alternatives to determine what will be evaluated in detail in the North Split Project environmental study. The completion of this two-step process will guide INDOT's next steps for the North Split interchange.
Regardless of what the screening process reveals, the project must meet the following transportation needs:
- Correct deteriorated bridge conditions
- Correct deteriorated pavement conditions
- Improve interchange operations
- Reduce traffic congestion
- Improve safety
Throughout this two-step screening process and the completion of the EA, INDOT is committed to a robust public involvement effort. Several advisory committees – including Section 106 Consulting Parties, Resource Agencies and a Community Advisory Committee – will meet throughout the process to provide critical feedback.
In addition to the committee meetings and several public open houses, INDOT aims to keep stakeholders informed. Visit our Stay Informed and Contact Us pages for several ways to provide feedback.
Together we'll move forward with a plan that meets the project's needs and improves overall mobility, livability and economic vitality of the downtown area.

I finally made it to the Green Grotto Caves in Discovery Bay, Jamaica.
I live about 5 minutes from this place. But for whatever reason, it took me all these years to finally make it inside.
I had some family visiting from the UK so I figured we could all go and check it out.
It actually turned out to be a lot more entertaining than I thought it would.
We had a great tour guide (Dwayne) who was very entertaining and very knowledgeable about the history of the caves.
He had some great stories to share…
About 5 minutes into our hike of the Green Grotto Caves, we came upon what is known as "The Pirate's Nightclub", according to Dwayne.
According to him, many years ago, this area was the hot-spot for the who's who of pirates.
I don't know if it's true or not but why wouldn't people hang out here? It's easily 10 degrees cooler than outside and just felt like a cool place to hang out.
I could see it being a badass night club right now!
Dwayne also told us stories about how slaves would regularly run into the caves to escape plantation life.
This seemed like a good idea because once you go in, there are so many different tunnels to choose from. There's no way you could find someone that didn't want to be found.
But then, Dwayne turned the lights off for a few minutes to give us an idea of the conditions they would have to be running in.
And let me tell you, you've never seen dark like this. I mean pitch black!
And with all the different tunnels to choose from, it wouldn't take long for someone to get lost, and never find their way back out.
Scary thought…
But to add to this, there are sink holes aka bottomless holes inside the tunnel.
So not only would an escaped slave be running in pitch black darkness, but they're also risking falling down to the center of the earth?
Tell me this doesn't sound like a nightmare.
But it doesn't end there…
Legend has it that the slaves would head for a lake that's some 50 feet beneath the earth's surface.
Now, this lake, though it's fresh water at the top, is apparently salt/sea water if you go deep enough. So, somewhere down there, it's connected to the ocean.
So the slaves would dive deep enough to find the salt/sea water, then swim through until they made it to the ocean.
Now if that's not a story made for Hollywood, then I don't know what is…
All in all it was an interesting experience.
There's something relaxing about being in a cave. I can see why cavemen would make a place like this their home… 😉
You just have to get past all the bats that are hanging out above your head. At least they weren't flying around and bumping into people. I think they sleep during the day and are active at night.
But if you want to learn a little about Jamaican history, and see some things you don't see every day, this is a good tour for you.
It's a lot of steps to go down to the grotto that's 50 feet below the earth's surface so make sure you wear some comfortable shoes.
And the tour is about 45 minutes long so it won't take up too much of your day…

Lindsey Jacobellis was in search of a gold medal in the 2006 Olympics in Torino. The snowboarder had the lead in much of the inaugural Snowboard Cross event, but she wiped out toward the end of the course and it ended up costing her the top spot on the podium.
Jacobellis dominated in each heat, and looked like she was going to take home her very first Olympic gold in her very first Olympic Games. She was so confident, in fact, that she even showed off a bit, grabbing her board at one point, which was met by cheers from the crowd. The common trick, called a Method, caused Jacobellis to go down. She was able to get back up rather quickly, but her dreams of finishing the race in first place ended immediately.
Jacobellis watched Switzerland's Tanja Frieden board straight past her. Jacobellis rode across the finish line just after Frieden, winning a silver medal. Canada's Dominique Maltais finished third to win bronze.
This is something that still bothers Jacobellis, and understandably so, but she's hoping that the media can move past it.
"Wouldn't it just be nice if the media didn't harangue me for something that happened 12 years ago? I'm sure we can go into everyone's past 12 years ago and pick out something that they coulda, shoulda, woulda done. It's just mine was on a world stage that people have a hard time forgetting, or they just think that's the only thing that's happened or that it defined me as an athlete," Jacobellis told the New York Times in a piece titled "The Haunting of Lindsey Jacobellis," published this week.
Jacobellis, 32, grew up in Connecticut. This is her fourth trip to the Olympic Games. She finished fifth in Vancouver in 2010 and seventh in Sochi in 2014. Despite only having earned one Olympic medal, she is the most decorated female athlete in snowboard cross history, having won several medals in other tournaments, including five golds in Worlds.
"She's had a bad experience with the Olympics, and in a lot of ways she dreads the Olympics now," U.S. snowboard cross coach Peter Foley told the New York Times. "It would be nice if she could feel better about it," he added.
Jacobellis has been working with a mental skills coach named Denise Shull. According to the New York Times article, "Shull has been helping Jacobellis prepare for the Games and the inevitable questions about her notorious fall. Her background is in coaching Wall Street traders and fund managers to harness and use emotion."
Although she is favored to win gold, Jacobellis will have some stiff competition when she hits the slopes in the coming hours. Her runs are scheduled to be broadcast on Thursday night in the United States, as she seeks to redeem herself with the world watching.
Jacobellis has worked hard, both physically and mentally, and she's ready to get on her board and go for it.
"I'm hoping that through all the years that I've been doing this, that these things will all come together and help keep me calm and focused, and hopefully I'll come through," Jacobellis told the New York Times.

World?s Highest Game of Handball
By Dan Grant
On Tuesday the 17th August, we made history. Two members of the CASE Team - myself and Oliver Burdall, played the highest game of handball in the world.
Handball is a sport played by hitting a ball against a wall with your hands. I currently play handball for England and take the sport very seriously so it was no surprise that a handball ball found its way into my rucksack ? I was determined to set the record for the highest game ever!
Now obviously you can?t just rock up to the top of the Alps and crack out a game of impromptu handball; the game must be adapted to the rigors of high altitude! To start with I scouted the hut one blustery morning and sourced the most appropriate wall, which happened to be the west face of Margherita Hut; it?s puckered iron surface providing an excellent playing surface. Being at the top of the Alps also meant the surroundings were superb ? to the right the CASE members who could brave the subzero temperatures and a 2 kilometer sheer drop, on the left the haughty onlookers of mighty Mt Blanc and the resplendent Matterhorn. What an arena!
Your playing equipment at high altitude is also different. Whereas at Sea Level you?d traditionally play in shirts and shorts, at minus 10 it is advisable to furnish yourself with the traditional Alpine winter layering system.
The court was marked, or should I say carved out, with an ice axe and players must be made aware of any nearby crevasses and cliff top drops before play commences. Oliver Burdall stepped up to the plate as opposition as he had some impressive schoolboy handball experience. I threw the ball up and served a corker to the left corner. The game was on! We would be playing an intense one set match.
Right from the off it was clear that conventional play and traditional technique isn?t overly effective up here. The ball, which reacts much quicker off the wall than anticipated due to the reduced air pressure, doesn?t bounce a great deal off the snowy ground. You therefore have to try and volley as much as you can. 45mph winds add a new dimension to the game and footwork must be top drawer to adjust appropriately. But this should not be a problem once acclimatization and three beetroot juices a day have boosted your physiological systems!
It was a grueling match and at length, after much skillful back and forthing and several exhibitions of extreme flair, I managed to beat Oli by two clear points. It was a wonderful experience and a superb game. Many thanks to CASE for hosting the game and if you?d like to see the official ball, well it?s probably down in Alagna somewhere after blowing off the cliff in a post-match publicity shoot!

Last Sunday's race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway showed that there may actually be a light at the end of the tunnel for the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports team. That light is still pretty dim and quite a ways away, but it's there.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. — who missed his third chase in four years — battled back from 32nd place starting position and adversity on pit road to finish fourth.
[media-credit name="Kirk Schroll | Speedway Media" align="alignright" width="400″][/media-credit]In fact, after several races of being the worst finishing Hendrick Motorsports driver, Earnhardt earned the best finish among his HMS comrades.
Earnhardt had reached the top-ten by the middle of the race, but lost some spots on pit road when Regan Smith blocked NASCAR's most popular driver into his pit box. His crew had to push his car back to give Earnhardt room to maneuver his car out of his pit area, losing several spots.
That wasn't the only adversity he faced during the day, however. Earnhardt had two multi-car wrecks happen in close proximity to his Amp Energy/National Guard Chevrolet that he had to avoid. He and his crew were also burdened with a broken jack-stop.
At times Earnhardt was running faster laps than the leaders. Although, in the end, Earnhardt didn't have the track position to break his more than two-year winless streak in the Sprint Cup Series.
"The setbacks we had today hurt us a lot," Earnhardt said. "I want to thank AMP Energy and National Guard and the team, they worked really hard. We unloaded a great car, they did a good job preparing it at the shop. We worked on it all weekend. It was pretty good in practice and we improved on it a little bit. We had an eighth place finish last time and felt like we were really fast and competitive all day long. We can't qualify very good here, but once we get in race trim, we just kind of go to the front or get near the front."
"It felt like we had a top-10 car and we had the jack-stop break and had to go to the back and then a miscommunication with the No. 78 (Regan Smith) on pit that cost us a half of a lap under green, just battling back from that stuff. Track position was what we needed at the end, we didn't have it."
While Earnhardt's points situation is now a moot-point, he did improve one position to the 18th points position, trailing 13th place Ryan Newman by 153 points.
New Hampshire was a nice rebound for Earnhardt, who finished a disappointing 38th at Richmond two weeks ago. Earnhardt's teammate, Jimmie Johnson, will be looking for a similar rebound next weekend.
After Johnson battled up from a 25th place starting position, he was involved in a spin with the Busch brothers — Kyle and Kurt — on lap 223, receiving minor damage to his car.
A few laps later, a loose wheel would force Johnson to pit again and lose two laps to take him and his No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet out of race contention. Johnson, who entered the race second in points, dropped to seventh and will need to stay out of trouble at Dover and in the coming weeks to stay alive in the title hunt.
"We showed up today, we did what we could," Johnson said. "We had a decent car today and ran in the top-five and top-ten but just didn't end up finishing there. We'll go home and get back to work and go after it again next week."
In Johnson's defense, he and his team are arguably the best team in the sport when it comes to digging themselves out of adversity. Which is exactly the supporting evidence used by Clint Bowyer, who said after the race that Johnson's team is certainly not out of the championship discussion.
"Teams like the No. 48 are so good at rebounding; you can't ever count those guys out," Bowyer said. "For us, our strengths are how consistent we are. And we haven't won a race yet this year. So while we're trying to win races in these final 10, we can't necessarily just expect it to happen; maybe like some other guys might be feeling. So we can't afford to go out there and have a 25th place finish today."
Johnson now trails points leader Denny Hamlin by 92 points heading into Chase race No. 2 next weekend at Dover. Johnson was the worst finishing chaser of the day and was one of three that finished outside of the top-20.
Tony Stewart appeared to be on his way to victory — until he ran out of fuel with one lap to go. By the time Stewart had coasted around to the checkered flag, he was scored 24th.
"I'm not happy, that's for sure, but we went down swinging," Stewart said. "It's hard to lose one that way but at the same time it was fun racing Clint like that. He was definitely the fastest car and congratulations to those guys. It's a tough way to start the Chase but I'm proud of my guys. Darian (Grubb, crew chief) kept swinging at it all day and finally on that last set of tires we got it halfway decent."
Stewart dropped five points positions to 11th in points, trailing Hamlin by 124 points.
Matt Kenseth was the other chaser to finish outside of the top-20 on Sunday. He recorded a 23rd place finish and dropped one spot to 12th in the Chase standings. He is now faced with a 136-point deficit.
"Our Crown Royal Ford was just tight in the middle and needed help turning in the front today," Kenseth said. "The guys made adjustments all race long but we just didn't run very well. We got caught up in that wreck, had a lot of damage to the car, and it was just a really long day for us."

DENVER (CBS4) – As the nation mourns the loss and celebrates the life of Former President George H. W. Bush, one of his most impressive legislative accomplishments was the Americans with Disabilities Act. President Bush signed it into law on July 26, 1990.
The bill effectively extended civil rights to people living with disabilities. Most significantly it ended discrimination in the workplace for people with disabilities. It also required that public buildings and transportation, as well as some businesses, be equally accessible.
The legislation gained bipartisan support in late 1988 and early 1989. But, there was also strong opposition to the bill. Some religious organizations and business interests called it too costly, referring to the money that would have to be spent to make buildings accessible. Some called the legislations too vague, and predicted it would lead to endless litigation.
LINK: Information on the Americans with Disabilities Act
Shortly before the bill was passed, disability rights activists gathered at the U.S. Capitol building. They dropped their crutches, got out of their wheelchairs and powerchairs, and proceeded to crawl up the Capitol steps, calling for the passage of the bill. Some believe the "Capitol Crawl" of 1990 was a central act in getting the legislation passed.
28 years after being signed into law, the ADA has improved access to public services and the built environment. Buildings are constructed with ADA amenities, crosswalks have curb cuts, and accessible pedestrian signals. People with disabilities still face disparities in employment, earned income, transportation, and healthcare.
The Rocky Mountain ADA Center provides information, guidance, and training on the Americans With Disabilities Act for individuals and organizations in Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.

As people around the world are watching with concern as the COVID -19, coronavirus story unfolds, the Rev Laish Boyd, Bishop of Anglican Diocese of the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands, is urging church members to take precautionary measures to help stop the spread of the viral disease.
"As responsible Christians, let us be aware of what is happening on our planet. We have to admit that there are infections out there which spread quickly, especially since travel is a normal part of life worldwide," he said in an open letter to the Anglican community.
"We must take this seriously and respond appropriately from an informed position, and without panic. As a Church, let us be a part of smooth progress forward, even as we help to respond to the present challenge. The Most Rev'd Howard Gregory, Archbishop of the West Indies, shared these words with us this week: '... it is imperative that the Church be responsible in the context of this threat to our national health and function, in her worship and liturgical practice, in ways that promote healthy hygiene and as a way of partnering with the national effort to minimise, if not eliminate, the prospect of...(a larger crisis)'."
In the Diocese, Bishop Boyd said, please note the following which are temporary measures designed as a part of responsible Christian stewardship:
• Intinction will be suspended until further notice. People may receive the Body of Christ in one kind only, that is in your hand. The Church's teaching is that the whole Christ is received, whether one receives only the consecrated bread or both Body and Blood.
• At this time, we will continue to use the common cup. Those who are uncomfortable with this may receive in one kind, that is, the Body of Christ only.
• Hand shaking and hugging during the Greeting of Peace may continue. If you are uncomfortable then bump fists, bump elbows or bow reverently.
Additionally, Bishop Boyd advises the following protocols:
• Practice frequent hand washing and the use of hand sanitisers (minimum 60 percent alcohol based sanitisers).
• Try to keep dirty hands away from your face.
• When coughing or sneezing, please cover your mouth and nose with a flexed elbow, or use tissue and dispose of same immediately and wash your hands.
• Avoid close contact with persons who are coughing, sneezing or display any symptoms of respiratory illness.
• If you are coughing, sneezing, et cetera., then refrain from hugging or hand shaking at the peace, and receive communion in only one kind, that is, the Body of Christ, only, in your hand.
• Everyone should seek to boost his/her immune system.
• Clergy, chalice bearers and servers should ensure that they wash their hands before and after services and, where possible, sanitize their hands before and after the administration of Holy Communion.
• Hand rails and altar rails should be cleaned before and after service.
• Those handling money should take extra sanitising precautions.
• If possible, place hand sanitisers at the entrances of all churches.
• Holy water stoops should be emptied daily (the water being poured into the ground, as in our liturgical and devotional practice). In the blessing of holy water salt is always used. For the time being we will use a little more salt than usual to increase the curative properties of the water.
"In the face of what could be frightening, worrying and disconcerting, let us remain positive and hopeful. Let us seek to be fully informed by reading and by keeping up with the news," said Bishop Boyd.

Chicago Bulls vice president John Paxson said Wednesday he would never ask Derrick Rose to recruit and doesn't believe the star guard's reluctance to do so will prevent the team from landing free agents.
"I personally would not have been comfortable doing that as a player. That was me, so I expect and appreciate where Derrick is coming from," Paxson said on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN Chicago 1000.
"I would never tell a player, I don't think [owner] Jerry Reinsdorf or [general manager] Gar [Forman] would tell a player, 'Look, you have to do this.' If a player wants to do it, great. If he doesn't, that's his choice."
Paxson said players being around Rose during offseason workouts offers an indirect way to sell them on the Bulls.
"I know that Derrick has relationships with a lot of guys around the league. He spends his summers in L.A. working out with a lot of guys and I know he's got great relationships with people," Paxson said. "I do firmly believe that when you're around people you can sell yourself just being the person that you are, and we all know Derrick is a terrific young man.
"I don't see that as an impediment to us getting players here. I think at the end of the day people know who Derrick is and there are a lot of guys who would like to play with him."
Rose passed on recruiting LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and others in the summer of 2010 and has said as recently as September that his stance hasn't changed.
"I don't recruit. If anyone wants to play with me, I don't mind playing with, it could be anyone in the NBA, but as far as recruiting, I never did and never will," Rose told rappler.com, a social news network.
With Luol Deng off the books after a trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers, several players with expiring deals and a chance to use the amnesty clause on the final year of Carlos Boozer's contract, the Bulls could be in full recruitment mode this summer. A recent report said Carmelo Anthony is open to playing for the Bulls, although the team would have to clear significant salary cap space to make that happen.
Is the goal for the Bulls to clear as much cap space as possible to try to land a max contract player this summer?
"Not necessarily, because we have other avenues," Paxson said. "We still have some short-term contracts that can be used in deals and we don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves. It's tough to play that game thinking that you're just going to unload, unload, unload and try to have as much money [as possible]. Sometimes you can have too much, I guess.
"The reason for doing the Deng deal has been obvious, we've stated it a number of times. It doesn't put us in a position right now to have max cap room this summer but it does give us the opportunity to have the ability to go out and pursue some guys and look at different avenues, whether it's through trading players or trading for players.
"It's a process. Now if somebody comes -- we've got three weeks now until the trade deadline and there hasn't really been any chatter at all from teams yet, but that's often the case when you're three weeks away -- we'll listen. But we're still a team that has played pretty well, and we like a lot of our pieces and we'll see where the year goes. People know that our guys don't quit, our coach doesn't quit and we don't quit, and we're just going to keep fighting away."
The Bulls have kept fighting without Rose, who was lost for the second straight season with a knee injury, and are a game back of the third seed in the Eastern Conference. With Rose making progress in his rehab -- he's now shooting during practice -- and the Bulls on track for a playoff berth, is it possible he could play this season?
"I'll say what we were told when he had the surgery and that is that he'd be out this year, the rest of this year," Paxson said. "That's the premise I'm operating under today. The one thing we don't want to get into is we get toward the end of the season and then the playoffs and all of a sudden there's talk.
"Nobody should get too far ahead and start the things that happened last year. We're not going to do it. I guess other people can. They can start throwing things out there, but we're not."

Titan Healthy Cookie Creator Gets a Sweet Deal on 'Shark Tank'
Dec. 5, 2018
Nui offers five low-sugar, low-carb cookies, including Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, Double Chocolate, and Snickerdoodle. (Photo courtesy of Nui)
Titan Victor Macias '09 (B.A. business administration-entrepreneurship) and his partner Kristoffer Quiaoit made an initial investment of $3,000 each, two years ago to launch Nui, their low-carb, low-sugar cookie company.
On Nov. 25, the two Orange County natives were on ABC's "Shark Tank," dressed in matching black Nui T-shirts and accepting Alex Rodriguez' offer for $300,000 in funding for their cookie business. They had impressed the so-called Sharks with their pitch about hard work and being the sons of immigrants — not to mention the $1.1 million in sales on their initial investments.

Hell hath no fury like a woman's scones: 'Rage Baking' authors to read on Tuesday
Kathy Gunst began furiously baking during the apex of the Kavanaugh hearings.
Through social media, Gunst soon realized she was not alone in culinary self-soothing during difficult times. A phone call to her friend Katherine Alford followed, sparking a creative process that would bring in more than 40 different voices from the food world and beyond.
Together, Gunst and Alford co-authored Rage Baking: The Transformative Power of Flour, Fury, and Women's Voices in direct response to this flash point moment, which spotlighted institutional misogyny. The book is born of political frustrations and camaraderie, intended to provide baking as a transformative outlet for the deep anger that has simmered to the surface of American life since 2016's elections and beyond, turning our frustrations into something tangible and delicious. The book features responses to the mass movement of rage baking through essays, poems and interviews alongside recipes for rum raisin brownies, root beer cake, and ricotta rice pudding pie.
For those who don't understand how politics and cookie recipes mix, Alford reminds them, "When the right to a wedding cakes goes up to the Supreme Court, it's more than just butter, flour, and sugar."
That spark ignited through Gunst and Alford's initial conversations burned throughout the process of gathering contributors.
"We would reach out to someone, people we know in the food world or people who we loved and admired their point of view and asked them if they wanted to participate in this book," said Gunst. "I can't tell you how many emails I have that just said, 'Hell yeah! Tell me what to do,' or 'Tell me what you need from me.'"
Look for recipe contributions from former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, food historian powerhouse Jessica B. Harris, and baking genius Dorie Greenspan, in addition to recipes from food writers, restaurant owners, and journalists. These recipes provide a rich variety; some are plucked from grandmother's archives and revamped, while others are beloved staples from authors' kitchens.
"The thing about this project that is so amazing and gratifying is that although it has so many different moving parts—recipes, writing, over 40 different contributors, who did we want to be in it, what were the voices that we wanted to have in it—it really did come together seamlessly," said Alford.
Although the book contains longer, creative pieces, it also provides strong culinary content with well-tested recipes and tips for novice bakers still learning their way around a kitchen. Gunst has authored over 15 cookbooks and Alford ran the Food Network's test kitchen for over 20 years, so both have the technical chops to write a solid recipe that will not further frustrate a baker enraged.
The book's food photography was provided by Jerrelle Guy, author of Black Girl Baking, who makes sugary dough shine and pies ooze in a visual craving.
The authors don't see baking as the only outlet for rage, and remind readers that anger without political action is just a bunch of cream puff fluff. "Whatever issue that you feel passionate about, make a phone call or donate three dollars or just have a conversation and listen," said Alford, "Take that extra step to participate in our political process."
A percentage of the proceeds from the book sales will go to Emily's List, a political action committee that backs pro-choice female political candidates with funds early in their campaigns. "We are part of a larger movement, which is exactly where we want to be," said Gunst.
The real heart of Rage Baking is the importance of collaboration and community when the political climate gets rough. "When I started the book, my rage was high and I didn't feel a lot of hope. I felt angry, distressed at what I was seeing in the news," said Gunst. "[But] as we put together the book… I really started to feel a rising sense of hope and a sense that if we do put our voices together, if we do speak out, if we do vote, if we do march, if we do bake, we are stronger."
The soothing structure of berry pie recipes cannot replace the warmth and hope provided by an active and caring community of friends and comrades. "If you're mad, find someone to be mad with," said Alford
The authors will swing into town on Tuesday, February 18 at 7 p.m. at Magers & Quinn Booksellers, and are eager to hear from fellow rage bakers of all genders and backgrounds.
"We hope to open up a conversation" said Gunst. "We really want to talk to people and hear where they are at and how they relate to rage baking." Don't hesitate to bring your baking questions, as the combined knowledge and experience of these two will be able to improve the texture of your pie crust while sharing counsel on how to collaborate for political change.
7 p.m. Tuesday, February 18

Letter to the Editor: Closing Springmill Learing Center would be a long-term mistake
An open letter to the board of education for board Mansfield City Schools:
The contemplated closing of the Springmill Learning Center seems short-sighted in light of our national academic shortcomings in math and science. In my estimation, it would be wise to hold onto the Springmill concept and expand it in the future.
Among other disciplines, the Springmill Learning Center provides young minds with creative opportunities to effectively grasp fundamentals in math and science.
Unique methods used for learning at the center open conceptual doors that remain closed for many in the traditional classroom. For example, the dull and useless Pythagorean Theorem of my classroom experience literally springs to life at the center through practical application and exciting visuals. These are important learning methods long missing in our schools. Concepts thus learned can only lead to educational excellence.
Closing the Springmill Learning Center will shut the door to a valuable learning experience for thousands of young minds. Mediocrity is difficult to overcome when decisions like these are made to satisfy temporary budget problems.

Goldikova Stakes
Breeders Stakes
Senator Ken Maddy
E.P. Taylor Day
Twilight Derby
Autumn Miss Stakes
Date: 12/16/2019
Prior to the start of the season, many believed that it would be a simple victory for Benie Des Dieux in the Mares Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. This is following her stunning victory in the French champion hurdle and she was all but set to land the Mares Hurdle with ease prior to her fall at the last. However, the Willie Mullins trained mare has yet to make the track this season, whereas Honeysuckle continues to impress. This has now seen the latter move to the head of the market and she continues to prove popular for punters using the bet365 bonus code, in what is set to be one of the top head to heads of the National Hunt season.
The five-year-old mare is trained by Henry De Bromhead in Ireland and is unbeaten in her seven starts to date. Following a 15-length victory in a point-to-point she started under rules, with big things expected. She opened up with a 12-length victory in a Mares maiden hurdle, when sent off a shade of odds on. This gave an indication of her reputation even at this early stage.
Honeysuckle was then sent to contest a Mares novice listed race and again won with ease by just over three lengths. She was then sent to Fairyhouse at the end of January to contest a Grade Three Mares novice race. This was another big step up but she was similarly dominant in winning by six lengths.
Following an 85 day break, Honeysuckle was stepped up to the Grade One Mares Novice Hurdle Championship final and put in as the 6/4 favourite. This was following her missing the Festival due to injury. She travelled ominously well throughout the race and was driven clear before the last to win readily by just over five lengths. This performance clearly showed that she was the dominant novice mare and could just be something a little bit special.
Honeysuckle returned this season following a 205-day break to contest a hurdle race at Fairyhouse. She was sent off at odds of 3/10 if defeat was out of the question. This proved to be the case as she eased clear up the run in to win by 11 lengths, virtually on the bridle. The performance also saw her achieve an RPR rating of 145, which was her highest to date.
These victories all meant a step up to contest the Grade One Hatton's Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse. In opposition including the Mullins pair of Penhill and Bacardys, as well as previous three-time winner Apple's Jade. This was the performance that really got people talking, as Honeysuckle was driven clear from two out to win very easily by nine lengths. This saw the performance given an RPR rating of 160, higher than anything Benie Des Dieux has achieved to date. It now all sets up for a fascinating head-to-head between the pair on the first day of the meeting in March.

Boy, 14, couldn't pee after shoving 3.5inch sewing needle into his penis for sexual pleasure
A TEENAGER was unable to urinate for three days - after shoving a 3.5inch sewing needle into his penis.
The 14-year-old, from Tunis, Tunisia, admitted he had pushed the needle inside himself days earlier for "erotic stimulation".
Medics were forced to use forceps to pull out the sharp object after it became lodged 2ins inside him.
Doctors at the La Rabta Hospital in the Tunisia capital opened up about the bizarre medical story in a case report in the journal Urology Case Reports, in which they said cases like this are "very rare".
They said the boy told doctors he had pushed the 3.5ins needle into his urethra - the tube pee travels along - for sexual pleasure.
The needle had been shoved in so far that the doctors couldn't see it - and an examination showed that it was 5cm along the tube.
Surgeons put the teen under a general anaesthetic and used forceps to remove the sharp metal object.
The team, led by Dr Selim Zaghbib, wrote: "Postoperative period was uneventful.
"The patient was discharged after one day and referred to the psychiatric department which confirmed that he had no mental trouble."
They added that, while the boy was not found to have any psychological issues, his school psychologist was involved in his follow-up care.
The team also revealed that in cases like this diagnoses are often delayed because of the patients' "shame and embarrassment".
Inserting items into the urethra for sexual pleasure is a well-established fetish, known as sounding.
However, the fetish comes with a high risk of infection, injury and potential trauma - with the medics emphasising the importance of using only specialised toys for sexual pleasure, and not objects found laying about the house.
And they added that using unsterilised or damaging objects could cause infections, gangrene, injuries to the urethra or bladder, or a narrowing of the urinary tract.
The research paper listed two dozen other bizarre objects people have had to remove from their genitals including straws, light bulbs, wires and even a squirrel's tail.
They wrote: "Cases reporting urethral foreign bodies... affect both sexes, with a male predominance, and all age groups.
"The wide variety of self-inserted foreign bodies include needles, pencils, ball point pens, garden wire, copper wire, speaker wire, safety pins, telephone cables, straws, string, toothbrushes, intrauterine contraceptive devices [IUDs], household batteries, light bulbs, marbles, cotton tip swabs, plastic cups, thermometers, plants and vegetables, and even parts of animals (leeches, squirrel tail, snakes, bones)."
More on case reports
Just last week, we revealed that a man was forced to have a metal nut cut off his "strangulated" penis after squeezing it on for sexual pleasure.
The unnamed 34-year-old spent two days trying to dislodge the hex nut from his member before giving up and going to A&E.
Similarly, earlier this year, a 13-year-old boy from north-west China had surgery to remove 29 magnetic balls from his bladder - three months after he put them up his penis.

Nike SB's Deconstructed Pack Is Back in Black
Same clean silhouettes, new tone.
Nike continues rolling out streamlined sneakers, following up on last month's deconstructed SB Dunk Low, Blazer and Janoski releases by granting the remastered shoes a black paintjob.
The new pack sees the same slimmed-down models but reskinned in black. Extraneous detailing is eschewed for clean lines and tonal uppers, complemented by clean white midsoles. Alongside the shoe's soft nubuck uppers, the tongues have been reinforced with exposed foam, for extra comfort and a pop of color on the Dunk Low. Despite the minimized detailing, the shoes retain their vulcanized outsoles for maximum board grip.
Shop the deconstructed pack over on Premier's web store. Nike's serving up more clean sneakers with the Air Span II issued in "Summit White."

Council data breach cases rising up 34% in Suffolk
PUBLISHED: 09:06 04 January 2019
Councils in Suffolk reported more than 300 data breaches in 2018 – a third more than in 2017 – potentially exposing personal details of thousands of residents in the county.
Suffolk County Council had the most cases and saw a 20% increase in the number of breaches of private data – from 221 cases in 2017 to 265 in 2018.
Five of the six authorities in Suffolk have seen an increase in breaches year-on-year. A data breach can consist of any personal, private or classified information being accessible or exposed to those it is not intended for.
This could be caused by human error and lost records to deliberate, malicious attempts such as phishing emails to obtain data like usernames, passwords, addresses or financial information.
Why are there more incidents being reported?
Chris Bally, county council deputy chief executive, pointed to changes in data protection law in last year as one reason for the increase.
He said: "The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), in force from May 2018, introduced a new duty on all organisations to report certain types of personal data breach to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO).
"Suffolk County Council has always had strong arrangements in place for managing data breaches, but the ICO's guidance, in light of the GDPR, requires us to have robust breach detection, investigation and internal recording and reporting procedures in place."
Before GDPR came into effect, Mr Bally said the council reviewed their existing breach reporting mechanisms and introduced compulsory training for all staff so that the importance of protecting personal data was made a priority.
"The 20% increase in the number of incidents reported is largely due those reviews and greater staff awareness," he added.
"Keeping residents' and customers' data safe is of paramount importance to the council.
"We require all potential breaches to be reported. This in turn allows us to proactively monitor and address any security concerns and, most importantly, ensure that we're open with people about how we protect their data."
Peter Gardiner, county council opposition spokesman for public protection, said: "I think this 20% increase is significant and requires further scrutiny.
"People are perhaps not as aware as they should be when it comes to data security."
What is the case at other councils in Suffolk?
Ipswich Borough Council rose from 11 cases in 2017 to 29 in 2018.
IBC were responsible for the largest number of exposed records in one incident, with thousands of addresses held in an unsecured filing cabinet in a defunct office, but no records were exposed.
An IBC spokesman said the council "takes data security extremely seriously and are constantly reviewing procedures" and that the vast majority of incidents at the council were near-misses or involved internal emails sent to colleagues in error.
Babergh and Mid Suffolk reported together that their recorded breaches rose from nine to 12 in the same period.
A Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils spokesman said also cited GDPR as a reason for an increase in incidents.
Waveney District Council increased from two cases to 17 and Suffolk Coastal District Council increased from two cases to 10.
The number of data breaches for 2018 uses the latest figures available, up to and including November 28, 2018.
West Suffolk Council, which was previously Forest Heath and St Edmundsbury District councils, reported eight incidents between January 2017 and November 2018 with no incidents reported to the ICO, stating they have robust procedures for monitoring and reporting data breaches. No year-on-year breakdown was provided.
Waveney and Suffolk Costal District councils were also approached for comment.

The beauty of these sinks speaks for itself, but what really sets them apart is the material that they are constructed of. Lottare's Granite Composite is a green material which recycles granite and, then forms it into breath-taking water vessels. The advantages to granite composite compared to traditional sink materials are numerous, including more durable, less resistant to denting and scratching, offer more color choices, offer unique shapes, and so on.
The trend toward sustainable and longer lasting materials has already taken foot; leave it to Lottare to take it to the next level.

Russia continues its fine form against Egypt in a 3-1 victory
The host nation of this World Cup, Russia, is the first team into the Round of 16 after their 3-1 win over Egypt. Russia proved in this game that their first game against Saudi Arabia was not a fluke nor was it just because Saudi Arabia was a weak team. The first half of this game went goalless and not much happened. In the beginning of the first half, in the 47th minute, Russia take the lead through an own goal from Egyptian captain Ahmed Fathy. Own goals have quite been common throughout this World Cup. Russia would soon increase to 3-0 from two quick goals by Denis Cheryshev in the 59th minute and Artem Dzyuba in the 62nd minute. Mohamed Salah would get his first ever World Cup goal and Egypt's first goal of the tournament from a penalty in the 73rd minute to make it 3-1, which would be the final result of this game. With this win Russia are through to the round of 16 and will face Uruguay in their next game, game which will decide who wins the group, Egypt on the other hand are out of the tournament after two losses out of two games and will play their third and final game of the tournament against Saudi Arabia.
Uruguay struggles in 1-0 win against Saudi Arabia
Uruguay was able to get the 1-0 win against a very weak Saudi Arabia side and are through to the round of 16 after two games. Uruguay went in front in the 23rd minute from their star striker Luis Suarez. That would be, surprisingly, the only goal of the game. Uruguay, who are one of the dark horse contenders of the tournament, once again did not impress. But nonetheless Uruguay has two wins from two games, six points and have advanced out of the group. Uruguay will battle for first place in this group against Russia in the third and final game of this group. Saudi Arabia are out of the tournament after their second loss in two games, but should have their heads held high. This was a much better performance than the one they had against Russia when they lost 5-0. Saudi Arabia will face Egypt in their third and last game of the tournament.
Current Standings in Group A after two games:
- Russia 6 points, +7 Goal Difference
- Uruguay 6 points, +2 Goal Difference
- Egypt 0 points, -3 Goal Difference
- Saudi Arabia 0 points, -6 Goal Difference
Preview for the third and final games in Group A
Uruguay vs Russia June 25th, 2018, Samara, Russia
Both teams have already advanced to the round of 16 but first place is still up for grabs. Both teams stand with six points each but currently Russia is first as they have a +7 goal difference while Uruguay only has +2. Therefore, Russia could draw this game and they would finish first in their group. While Uruguay does not have that luxury and will have to go for the win if they want to finish first in this group. The Russians have played well so far in this World Cup but they have not gone up against any tough competition as of yet. Uruguay has not yet impressed in the World Cup with registering two one goal victories. This game will be Russia's first true test as Uruguay is a very good team, one of the three dark horse contenders for this year's World Cup along with Belgium and Croatia.
Prediction: Uruguay 2-0
Saudi Arabia vs Egypt June 25th, 2018, Volgograd, Russia
Even though both teams cannot advance out of the group they still have one more game to play. World Cup qualifying is long and tiring process, so when you and your nation make it to a World Cup you play each game at the World Cup with passion and pride. That is exactly what Egypt and Saudi Arabia have to and will do in their final game. In terms of this year's World Cup this game will not change anything and all eyes will be on the other match up in this group.
Prediction: Egypt 3-1

A Day in the Life of a Mom with ADHD
7 a.m.: My 6-year-old, Max, wakes me up because he has to go to school. "Five more minutes," I moan from under the pillow.
7:15: "Oh my gosh!" I leap out of bed and hit the ground running. We have to be out of the house in 20 minutes and I have to get breakfast made, make sure my son has all of his books, folders, lunch, and the papers that should have been signed yesterday but I put them down somewhere and now I can't find them. I do, however, find the paper that reminded the parents about Pajama Day … which was yesterday … shoot. I look over at my son to see if I can spot any signs of the irreversible damage that I've inevitably already caused the poor kid. He is sitting at the table, eating his cereal, seemingly unaffected by the repercussions of having me as a mother.
7:35: About to walk out the door when my oldest daughter, Zoe, jumps in front of us, blocking the door. "Wait! Mom! Do NOT forget that I have a game tonight! Can you pleeeaaaase make sure to wash my uniform?" Ah, yes, its Friday again, isn't it? "Sure honey, but this is a little last-minute, don't you think? You've known about this game all week, and you certainly could have washed your uniform yourself."
She lets out a sigh of disgust before snapping, "Yes, and I would have, but we are out of laundry detergent. I told you this two days ago, and you said you would take care of it!"
Yep. Sounds familiar. I study her facial expression. It is frustration mixed with anxiety, and is that a hint of resentment as well? It's too late for this one. The damage is already done. But I do intend on making it up to her. "Oh, right! And I will! Your uniform will be ready to go by the time you get home from school." I kiss the top of her head as I grab Max and run to the car.
8:00: I walk back into the house after dropping Max off and am greeted by the dirty cheer attire on top of the washing machine. I slap my hand to my head. Why did I not stop at the grocery store that is directly across the street from the elementary school? OK, back to the car I go — but wait — I should take a quick look to see if we need anything else while I'm there.
I open the refrigerator. Good thing I checked! We are almost out of milk, completely out of eggs, and the unopened carton of orange juice reminds me that it is our turn to bring juice boxes to the boys' game tomorrow. (Actually, it is the first game of the season, and I purposely chose to be "juice mom" for game number one to get that enormous responsibility out of the way right off the bat.)
Proud of myself for catching that before it was too late, I sprint to the drawer to grab a pen so I can write it down while it's still in my head. No pen. I open the drawer next to that. Nope. Next drawer. Bingo! I start to write out a list and realize that the pen is useless. Completely depleted of every drop of ink that it ever contained. So I put the pen back in the drawer and add pens to the list that I am just going to have to keep in memory. I just have to jump in the shower and I'll be on my way.
9:00: I am blowdrying my hair and wondering if there is a faster way to get the job done. I mean, when I get a blowout at the salon it takes half the time and looks twice as good. It must be the watts. I wonder if the grocery store has a really good hair dryer with a lot of watts. Probably not. I'll find out. I grab my phone and Google "best hair dryer ever." Oh, wow…who knew there were so many kinds of hair dryers? Some of them cost over $300. Yikes.
You know, maybe it's the concentrator. I bet if I got myself a concentrator to attach to my existing hair dryer, I could get my hair to look like my stylist does. I look those up. Much more reasonable. I doubt I can buy one at the grocery store, so I'm going to have to order it on Amazon. I pull up my Amazon account and I see that I have two items in my shopping cart. Huh? Oh my goodness! I never checked out after I ordered the boys' baseball pants and we need them tomorrow! Oh boy, I'm just going to have to run out and buy some after I go to the grocery store.
I think the coach sent an email with suggestions on where to get some baseball pants for a good price. I click on my email. Oh look! Victoria's Secret semi-annual sale is going on — and ends today. Well, I'm going to have to get my order in quick, while I have the website pulled up.

Some DIY genius recreated 'Jurassic World' shot-for-shot using only things in her apartment
This lady is our new DIY filmmaking idol.
YouTube user Hozzah2 recreated the Jurassic World trailer, shot-for-shot, using household items from around her apartment.
A scene with raptors? No problem. That's what plastic dinos are for. A chunk of dinosaur flesh? Just use cooked noodles, obviously. A roaring Indominus Rex? Stick a plastic hair clip in your mouth, and suddenly you've got a mouthful of sharp teeth!
Every remade scene featuring Bryce Dallas Howard has the redheaded starlet picking her nose. Don't ask questions, just enjoy.

Police Search for Suspect in Attempted Theft of ATM in Moncton
The Codiac Regional RCMP is asking for the public's help in locating a suspect involved in the attempted theft of an ATM at the Hampton Inn in Moncton.
Shortly before 7:00 a.m. Tuesday, an individual wearing a disguise entered the Hampton Inn on Mapleton Road and tried to steal an Automated Teller Machine, according to Constable Marc-André Langis.

Witnesses said the suspect left the hotel without the ATM and fled the scene in a grey or green SUV. The individual is described as about 5'6" tall with a slim build, police say.
Anyone who was in that area of Moncton at the time of the incident or anyone that has any information about the suspect or the suspect vehicle is asked to contact the Codiac Regional RCMP at (506) 857-2400.

Books by Nandini
The Gem Among Poets
The story of Kalidasa -the gem among poets is the delightful tale of the literary legend Kalidas, a man so revered that his imprint is felt in Indian literature to this day. As a young cowherd in a remote village he was a simpleton who was constantly bullied and harassed. A twist of fate takes him to the kingdom palace in Kashi. After that he rediscovers himself and through single-minded focus and hard work, and some great good fortune he becomes sanskrit's greatest writer and poet of all time. This transformation comes with its share of heartbreak, humiliation, laughter and tears.
'Deftly recreates the world of the Gupta Empire … widely regarded as the golden period of classical India' – Sanjeev Sanyal 461 CE. Skanda Gupta, the grandson of the great emperor Chandragupta Vikramaditya, is at the helm of the still-mighty Gupta Empire. Brave, noble and a living legend, the emperor is fighting hard to save his legacy from wave after wave of invasion, intrigue and insurrection. The borders are restive; the palace is swirling with conspiracies; and the Huns are back. Into this cauldron steps Rohini – an enigmatic half-Hun runaway. She is a riddle Skanda cannot crack. Might she be an assassin, or a spy? Or has she come to the court with an agenda all her own? As ambition crosses swords with affection, Skanda and Rohini must learn a painful lesson: as in war, so in love, victory always comes at a price. The second book in the Gupta Empire Trilogy, The Poisoned Heart is a saga of tragic love, treachery and hard-won battles in the inner reaches of a once-mighty empire.

373 AD. In the thick forests of Malwa, an enigmatic stranger gallops into an ambush attack by bandits to rescue a young courtesan, Darshini. His name is Deva and he is the younger son of Emperor Samudragupta. That chance encounter, first with Deva and later with his two friends, the loyal general Saba Virasena and the great poet Kalidas, forges a bond that lasts a lifetime. From a dispossessed prince, Deva goes on to become one of the greatest monarchs in ancient India, Chandragupta Vikramaditya. But the search for glory comes with a blood price. As Chandragupta the emperor sets aside Deva the brother, lover and friend, to build a glorious destiny for himself, his companions go from being his biggest champions to his harshest critics. A sabre-rattling tale of love, revenge, friendship and ambition, The King Within is about the often-difficult choice between the power of passion and the passion for power.
