Maryland Route 97 (MD 97) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The route runs 55.27 mi (88.95 km) from U.S. Route 29 in Silver Spring, Montgomery County north to the Pennsylvania border in Carroll County, where the road continues into that state as Pennsylvania Route 97. Throughout most of Montgomery County, MD 97 is known as Georgia Avenue, which continues south from the southern terminus along US 29 into Washington, D.C. It is a suburban four- to six-lane divided highway from Silver Spring north to Olney. From here, the route continues as a rural two-lane road north through Brookeville and into Howard County. MD 97 continues through Carroll County where it passes through the county seat of Westminster. The route intersects many major roads, including Interstate 495 (Capital Beltway) north of Silver Spring, Maryland Route 200 (Intercounty Connector) in Aspen Hill, Maryland Route 28 in Norbeck, Interstate 70 and U.S. Route 40 in Cooksville, Maryland Route 26 in Dorsey Crossroads, and Maryland Route 27, Maryland Route 32, and Maryland Route 140 in the Westminster area.
With the creation of the U.S. Highway System in 1926, present-day MD 97 north of Westminster became a part of U.S. Route 140. The designation MD 97 was first used by 1940 for the road running from US 29 in Silver Spring to north of US 40 in Cooksville. An extension of the route by 1960 took it to the Pennsylvania border northwest of Emmitsburg, Frederick County. It replaced Maryland Route 570, which ran from MD 26 to just north of the Carroll-Howard county line, paralled MD 32 between Westminster and Taneytown, and replaced MD 32 from Taneytown to the Pennsylvania border. By 1979, MD 97 was shifted onto its current alignment north of Westminster with the removal of US 140 from the U.S. Highway System; the MD 140 designation was applied to the former MD 97 that ran northwest from Westminster.
Route description[edit]
Maryland Route 97 runs through the Washington, D.C. suburbs in Montgomery County, connecting several communities including Silver Spring, Wheaton, Glenmont, Norbeck, and Olney. It continues north from there into rural areas of Howard and Carroll counties, passing through the Carroll County seat of Westminster, before reaching the Pennsylvania border.[2]
Montgomery County[edit]
Maryland Route 97 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 29 and Maryland Route 384 (Colesville Road) in downtown Silver Spring in Montgomery County, heading north on Georgia Avenue, a six-lane divided highway with a 30 mph (48 km/h) speed limit. Washington Metro's Red Line runs below the route at this point.[1][2] From the route's southern terminus, Georgia Avenue continues south as part of US 29 toward Washington, D.C. MD 97 passes commercial areas of high-rise buildings in Silver Spring before heading into residential neighborhoods. The route intersects the northern terminus of Maryland Route 390 (16th Street), which heads south and becomes 16th Street Northwest upon entering the District of Columbia. It continues north as a six-lane undivided road with reversible lanes through commercial areas before coming to a modified cloverleaf interchange with Interstate 495 (Capital Beltway).[2] Past this interchange, the road becomes a divided highway again and intersects Maryland Route 192 (Forest Glen Road). MD 97 passes more residences as a 35 mph (56 km/h) road that continues toward Wheaton. The road heads into business areas again as it intersects Maryland Route 586 (Veirs Mill Road) near the Westfield Wheaton shopping mall.[1][2] A short distance later, the road crosses Maryland Route 193 (University Boulevard) and continues back into residential areas past that intersection.[1][2] The route heads into a mix of residential and commercial areas as it heads toward Glenmont, where it crosses Randolph Road.[2] A short distance later, MD 97 intersects the southern terminus of Maryland Route 182 (Layhill Road).[1][2]
From here, MD 97 turns northwest through residential neighborhoods, where as a 45 mph (72 km/h) road it passes the Glenmont station terminus of Washington Metro's Red Line, before reaching some businesses near the intersection with the northern terminus of Maryland Route 185 (Connecticut Avenue) in Aspen Hill. It turns north again past this intersection and crosses Bel Pre Road. After crossing Bel Pre Road, the route heads into wooded neighborhoods before it passes through a mix of businesses and houses, with Maryland Route 655 running to the west of the road. MD 97 crosses Maryland Route 28 (Norbeck Road) in Norbeck, and continues past some residences where it intersects Maryland Route 655A, a short connector that provides access to westbound MD 28.[1][2] MD 97 enters more wooded areas and narrows to four lanes, interchanging with Maryland Route 200 (Intercounty Connector).[2][3] The route eventually passes parkland and residential areas as it crosses Emory Lane.[1][2] The road approaches Olney and passes by residential neighborhoods before heading into a business district at the intersection with Maryland Route 108 (Olney Sandy Spring Road).[2] After this intersection, the road heads into wooded residential areas as a two-lane undivided road, with the speed limit dropping to 40 mph (64 km/h) and then to 30 mph (48 km/h) as the road enters Brookeville. Upon entering Brookeville, MD 97 becomes High Street and passes more residences. The route makes a left turn onto Market Street and continues through wooded residential areas. It heads out of Brookeville, with the name changing back to Georgia Avenue and the speed limit increasing to 40 mph (64 km/h).[1][2] The road heads into a more rural setting, with areas of farms, woods, and some residences.[2] MD 97 reaches Sunshine, where the speed limit decreases to 30 mph (48 km/h) and the road crosses Maryland Route 650 (New Hampshire Avenue/Damascus Road).[1][2] Past Sunshine, MD 97 resumes through rural areas and enters woodland within Patuxent River State Park, with the speed limit increasing to 50 mph (80 km/h) as it approaches the Patuxent River.[1][2]
Howard County[edit]
MD 97 crosses the Patuxent River into Howard County, where it becomes Roxbury Mills Road, named after the Roxbury Mill built in 1753.[1] It continues north, passing areas of woods and farms along with suburban residential developments.[2] The road passes through the community of Glenwood, where the speed limit drops to 45 mph (72 km/h). Upon leaving Glenwood, the speed limit climbs back to 50 mph (80 km/h) and MD 97 passes through agricultural areas before intersecting Maryland Route 144 (Frederick Road) in Cooksville.[1][2] A short distance later, the route interchanges with Interstate 70 and U.S. Route 40. Past this interchange, MD 97 becomes Hoods Mill Road and passes rural residential areas, intersecting Old Frederick Road.[1][2] From here, the speed limit drops to 40 mph (64 km/h) as the road winds through a mix of woods, farm fields, and residences before crossing the South Branch of the Patapsco River.[1][2]
Carroll County[edit]
Upon crossing the river, MD 97 enters Carroll County and becomes Old Washington Road.[1] The road crosses CSX's Old Main Line Subdivision railroad and the speed limit drops to 35 mph (56 km/h) as it passes wooded areas with some residences before increasing to 40 mph (64 km/h) again.[1][2] It runs through a mix of woods and farms with some residences along the road.[2] The number of residences increases as the route crosses Streaker Road in Berrett as a 35 mph (56 km/h) road. From here, MD 97 passes more residences as a 40 mph (64 km/h) road before intersecting Maryland Route 850 (Old Liberty Road) at a roundabout; a short distance later, it intersects Maryland Route 26 (Liberty Road) at a folded diamond interchange in Dorsey Crossroads.[1][2] Past MD 26, MD 97 becomes New Washington Road and heads north through a mix of farmland, woodland, and residential neighborhoods, paralleled to the west by Maryland Route 854 (Old Washington Road).[2] The road passes through woodland before intersecting Nicodemus Road, where it continues past farms and woods before crossing Maryland Route 32 (Sykesville Road) in Fenby.[1][2]
Past this intersection, MD 97 passes to the east of Carroll Community College and heads into residential areas as it approaches Westminster, bypassing the center of the town to the east.[2] The route becomes Malcolm Drive past the intersection with Main Street/Old Westminster Road and continues to an intersection with Maryland Route 140 (Baltimore Boulevard). Here, MD 97 makes a left turn to form a concurrency with MD 140 on Baltimore Boulevard, a six-lane divided highway.[1][2] The two routes head through commercial areas on the outskirts of Westminster, passing by the TownMall of Westminster before interchanging with Maryland Route 27 (Manchester Road) at a folded-diamond interchange.[2] Past this interchange, the road passes over the Maryland Midland Railway and passes more businesses. At the Sullivan Road intersection, the road becomes College View Boulevard and a short distance later, MD 97 splits from MD 140 at an interchange near McDaniel College.[1][2]
MD 97 continues north on Littlestown Pike, a two-lane undivided road. The road passes Carroll County Regional Airport before heading into a mix of farmland and residences, with the speed limit increasing to 50 mph (80 km/h). MD 97 intersects the southern terminus of Maryland Route 496 (Bachmans Valley Road), and continues northwest through agricultural and wooded areas with intermittent residences, with the speed limit eventually dropping to 40 mph (64 km/h). It passes through Union Mills, where the speed limit drops to 35 mph (56 km/h) and the road intersects Old Hanover Road. The speed limit rises to 45 mph (72 km/h) upon leaving Union Mills before dropping to 35 mph (56 km/h) again as MD 97 enters Silver Run, a community of residences. Upon leaving this community, the speed limit on the route increases to 50 mph (80 km/h) as it continues through woods and farm fields.[1][2] A short distance later, MD 97 reaches the Pennsylvania border, where it becomes Pennsylvania Route 97 and continues north into Adams County.[2]
Following the creation of the U.S. Highway System in 1926, the portion of present-day MD 97 north of Westminster was designated as part of U.S. Route 140, a U.S. Highway that ran from Baltimore to Gettysburg .[4][5] The designation MD 97 was first used by 1940 for the road running from US 29 in Silver Spring to north of US 40 in Cooksville, while the present-day route from MD 26 to just north of the Howard-Carroll county line was designated as Maryland Route 570.[6] MD 97 was extended to the Pennsylvania border northwest of Emmitsburg, Frederick County by 1960, running north from Cooksville to Westminster, replacing MD 570 in its entirety, and continuing northwest from Westminster through Taneytown and Emmitsburg, paralleling a portion of MD 32 to Taneytown and replacing the route past there.[7][8] Also by this time, MD 97 was widened into a divided highway between Silver Spring and Maryland Route 183 (Randolph Road) in Glenmont.[7] The divided highway portion of MD 97 was extended further north to MD 28 by 1975.[8] By 1979, U.S. Route 140 disappeared and MD 97 was moved to its current alignment north of Westminster, with the portion of the route that ran northwest from Westminster becoming a part of MD 140. MD 32 from Westminster to Taneytown became Maryland Route 832 by this time as well.[9] Dualization of MD 97 in Montgomery County was extended further north from MD 28 to MD 108 by the 1990s.[10] There are plans to build an interchange at the route's intersection with Randolph Road in order to improve movements for automobiles as well as for pedestrians and bicycles accessing the nearby Glenmont Metro station.[11] Another new interchange was built with Maryland Route 200 (Intercounty Connector) north of MD 28 and opened on February 23, 2011.[3]

Wal-Mart Takes Fight to Amazon
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- While visiting Wal-Mart's (WMT) Web site in search of an obscure book, I could not find it in stock nor could I order it. Instead, I was referred electronically to an unexpected source: Barnesandnoble.com.
Taking heed of the ancient proverb, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," Wal-Mart has evidently struck up a curious yet most sensible pact with Barnes & Noble (BKS), which runs an expansive chain of physical, rather than virtual, stores.
An alliance between the two brick-and-mortar titans certainly makes sense for a variety of reasons. First, Wal-Mart and Barnes & Noble.com share the fear of having Amazon.com (AMZN) siphon off an ever-greater portion of their sales.
Nearly 45% of Amazon.com's sales come from electronics and general merchandise, rather than books and CDs. This percentage has been creeping up in the last two years and will continue to rise as a result of organic growth and Amazon.com's impending acquisition of Zappos.com, an online apparel retailer.Second, Wal-Mart and Barnes & Noble are trying to jump-start their Web sales, even as they manage increasingly complex chains of physical stores. Both Barnes & Noble and Wal-Mart are experimenting with new techniques to drive Web-browsers into their stores, and vice versa. For example, merchandise ordered online at Walmart.com can be picked up in or returned to one of its retail stores. This saves the consumer shipping costs and brings more traffic to the store. In an effort to reinvigorate its holiday traffic, Barnes & Noble recently entered the e-book reader fray with the Nook, an electronic book reader that came out this month. The Nook is replete with numerous features and gimmicks to lure book and CD buyers into Barnes & Noble stores.

I want nothingto reveal feeling but feeling--as in freedom,or the knowledge of peace in a realm beyond,or the sound of water poured in a bowl.--from "Gravity and Center"In his sixth collection of verse, Henri Cole deepens his excavations and examinations of autobiography and memory. These poems--often hovering within the realm of the sonnet--combine a delight in the senses with the rueful, the elegiac, the harrowing. Central here is the human need for love, the highest function of our species. Whether writing about solitude or unsanctioned desire, animals or flowers, the dissolution of his mother's body or war, Cole maintains a style that is neither confessional nor abstract, and he is always opposing disappointment and difficult truths with innocence and wonder.

Thanks to the triple-digit temperatures and the huge demand on power supplies, officials are asking residents to conserve energy to prevent having to shut off power…
Southern California Edison set record demand on Thursday, supplying about 21,800 megawatts, which surpassed the previous record of 21,112 megawatts set Wednesday. A megawatt is enough power to serve about 750 average homes.
Setting thermostats to 78 degrees, keeping all lights and other appliances off when not needed, and saving heavy electricity loads (like washing/drying machines) until off-peak hours will help in the conservation effort.
Stay tuned to KHTS for the latest weather and power updates.

The Body Shop • Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner • Toners

I got Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner from The Body Shop as part of Tea Tree Skin Care Kit. The kit is on sale for $17.50 from $25. The toner alone is $12. I don't use this alone; I use it only after I cleanse my face with Tea Tree Oil Face Wash. This does leave my face feeling tight & a little dry, but I don't mind it because that's mainly what I want it to do. It dries up the excess dirt & oil on my skin. I don't personally use this to remove makeup, but I read reviews that said it does! It certainly does leave my skin shine-free but not for long, because my skin produces oil like it gets paid.
In any case, this toner is great & gets my face ready for moisturizing. (Which secretly has me wondering why so many people complaining about it drying their faces are people not moisturizing after they tone?!)

This dried out my skin and make my acne much much worse! I bought the toner and the face wash when the website was having a 40% off sale, so it wasn't that expensive at all , but for what it did to my skin even a penny would be too much. Not only did I get tiny white heads all over my face, I also got deep cystic acne, which I've never , ever had! Now I have a face full of acne at various levels of healing, which will most likely turn into hyper-pigmentation. I know what tea tree smells like, but this was way worse, and the fact that one of the main ingredients is alcohol added stinging and burning to the experience. I hate this stuff!

It cleared out my pimples! Plain and simple. The smell is strong but you get used to it. The facial wash also helps to maintain my breakouts. It's fast and gentle on my skin. It can dry your skin but always use moisturizer. If you really want to get rid of a zit by the next day... Use PURE TREE TEA OIL and it will dry that zit out.
Always be on the look out for sales...especially Black Friday... It's worth the wait if you don't want to pay too much for it.

Absolutely love this toner. I have only been using it a couple of days and am quite impressed with it. I was a bit scared it may irritate my sensitive skin but it hasn't at all. I have been a loyal user of Murad toner for acne but the price tag is too steep. The price of this toner ($12 CAD) was much more in my price range. I put some of this in a spray bottle and also use it as a face mist throughout the day. It does an excellent job at mattifying the skin but not drying it out.

In the fall, I developed a facial rash called perioral dermatitis. I had to stop using my usual cleansers and Cljnique Clarifying lotion, and completely switch to just cleansing with Manuka Honey. Once my skin healed, I realized I wanted a toner again, but I knew I couldn't go back to what I was using in fear of aggravating it. I found so this one, and I love that it doesn't break me out or dry me out. I get that people are wary of the alcohol denat, but I have sensitive skin and it didn't bother me. I know everyone is different though. I love that it is fragrance and aloe free (aloe is not good for me), and tgat my skin feels clean after using it. The body shop has great sales, so you can't beat the price. The only criticism is that the packaging sucks. The cap is breaking :/. PS and BTW, check this out on COSDNA and you will see it has very little acne causing ratings.

I expected something completely different when I ordered this product, I wasn't expecting it to feel so... un-body shop like?
It feels pretty chemical laden, with the skin tingling sensation and the alcohol content being pretty high. But honestly, it's not such a bad product as long as you don't use it every day. I use it when I'm having particularly bad skin problems and it just helps everything clear up quickly and effectively, but if I use it for too long my combination skin becomes incredibly dry and sore.
The packaging is sturdy as always from TBS, and I do look forward to shaking all the product up till the substance at the bottom mixes into the liquid. I don't think you would enjoy this product if you have particularly sensitive skin as the toner warms/tingles/stings (in a weirdly satisfying way) as it dries.
The price was pretty great, as I got this in a 50% off everything sale.
This product is okay, and does the job it needs, but I wouldn't buy it again. I'll probably purchase the neutrogena 3 in 1 stress control toner afterwards, sorry body shop!

On top of The Body Shop Tea Tree Facial Wash, it made my skin extremely dried out and it stung my face a little. It is supposed to be gentle on the skin, but it isn't. I have oily skin and it made my face way too dried out. Will not purchase again.

Bought this when i originally went to the Body Shop to get the Purity Cleanser but they didn't have it. I had seen a YouTuber talking about this and I was using the Proactiv Toner (which i do not recommend) and really wanted to switch to something different so I got this. I'm definitely not impressed by it, it gets the job done but it definitely doesn't help with my acne at all. It also stings all over my face whenever i use it. Definitely not buying again.

I like this toner. It makes my skin feel clean and I find it helps tame down the acne along my jawline, which is where I have all of my acne at the moment. It sort of burns a little bit, but it works well for my skin. I will buy it again.

The plate-ships blasted the wreck without warning and without hesitation. Eye searing beams criss-crossed over the unprotected mass of crumpled metal, causing it to shudder and vibrate at the terrible forces pounding against it. "RUN!" is called out from the male Tamuran as his mount swung around and sprang away from the scene as fast as clawed feet could manage. Even as they rushed from the clearing the spreading after shocks from the heavy nerve blasts tingled up the legs of the mounts and through their riders, making teeth chatter, tails puff, and whiskers twitch!
Minutes later the last of the energy bolts fell. One dark plate ship landed near the twisted wreckage while the other hung low nearby, acting as guard. Weird occupants rushed down the gangways of the one landed ship and removed the crew from the wreck, floating them into the plate ship on "anti-grav" fields. The crew's bodies had been left paralyzed by the specialized energy blasts, leaving them senseless.
Taken to Arkenstrom's Citadel the three are stripped, cleaned and all injuries healed while keeping them unconcious. They are then subjected to a deep scan under the auto dock by Dr. Bent. "Well?" Lord Arkenstrom snaps at Bent. "Nothing unusal about the rat or mouse," he tells Arkenstrom. "However, the equine appears to have weaponized nanites and a most unusal infrastucture." "Meaning?" "He is a Sentinel." Arkenstrom looks sharply at the unconscious Dutch. "What level?" "Level six." "Six? When we left the United Systems they had barely achieved a three." Bent smiles. "They've been busy the last twelve hundred years. Did you expect them to sit around on their thumbs?" Arkenstrom returns the smile, rubbing his hands together. "Well, this will be most interesting. Have them hung in the dungeon and let us see what happens next."

Reward: +3 Kerrigan Levels
Bonus: +2 Kerrigan Levels
Unlocks: Ultralisk
The Ultralisk is like the captial ship of the Zerg. These heavy hitters can take a ton of damage, can regenerate on hit, and are just massive tanks, great for taking damage and pushing the swarm forward.
This mission is fun and is a bit stressful, but that's alright because it's not over tuned or anything. You'll start off with a little bit of a tutorial describing what an Ultralisk is and then from there you'll lose control of Kerrigan and only have Stukov to fight with. There are five temples and you need to stand on the beacon on each one, fight the incoming Hybrids, and then move on to the next. These Hybrids aren't crazy insane difficult like the previous ones that knock everything's health down to half, they're more like send a decent army and you'll walk away with most of your units difficult.
So at the start, go ahead and build up your economy, take the expansion, and start building up a light defense. You don't have too long before Kerrigan's health starts depleting rapidly. One of the things to always remember is that generally speaking, the units given to you at the start are enough to always complete the first objective, which is true here as well. You can use the units in your base to secure the first temple, leaving four remaining.
After your economy is strong, start making your way temple to temple. I used a combination of Ultralisks and Hydralisks, but you can mix and match any types of units honestly and you should be fine, although use something meaty to tank the Hybrids.
For the bonus mission, here is the location of the crystals:
For the achievements, well the first one is easy, don't let Stukov die. Although, those of you who remember him from StarCraft: BroodWar might be alright with the prospect (or maybe not), but otherwise the easiest way to complete it is just make sure you have a strong enough force when you go to close the temples.
For the other achievement, select all of your units and focus on Hybrid down, making sure you don't have any Mutalisks or other AoE units involved, and then switch over to the second Hybrid (two come for the final two or three temples). When it's dead, switch back and finish the other one. Twenty seconds is a long time, so that should give you plenty of time to complete it.
Once all five temples are closed, you're finished. The only other note is to watch out and don't enter the bases, they are heavily defended and there isn't much point in bothering with them. The game will warn you when you're too close.

MCUL, CUNA Stress CU Strength In Video Messages (Misc News: September 29, 2008)
With U.S. economic problems making headlines, this is a good time for credit unions to promote that they are safe, sound and growing. In a video message, the Michigan Credit Union League (MCUL) President and CEO David Adams says credit unions are busy serving their members and investing responsibly, while also on pace to add 100,000 new members this year.
The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) President and CEO Dan Mica also taped a video message. Mica talks about deposit insurance and how credit unions have never needed a bailout and don't need one now.
Credit unions are welcome to embed the above videos into their own Web sites. Simply click here and copy the appropriate code into the location on your Web site of your choosing.
The MCUL has contacted media and lawmakers statewide to spread the message of credit union strength and soundness in the midst of the economic crisis. The MCUL issued a press release and an op-ed from Adams, the latter of which the Detroit News promptly posted on their Web site (click here to view full text), to emphasize how credit unions have not contributed to the economic troubles and have remained well-capitalized. Adams also explained the role that trust plays in the stability of the country's financial system.
Fox 2, a Detroit television station, posted the MCUL news release on its Web site. You can view the page by clicking here.
Lovemycreditunion.org has been updated with resources to send credit union members and the media. Credit unions can also find media resources at http://www.mcul.org/CU_Media_Resources_1846.html. This page has media talking points, a template news release and CUNA resources.

RALEIGH Judicial Watch, a conservative-leaning organization that uses litigation to make its political points, wants in on the legal fray over North Carolinas elections law changes.
The Washington-based organization filed a motion on Friday to intervene on behalf of North Carolina officials defending the new rules.
We think its a case of national importance, said Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch president.
In the court documents seeking status in the four-month-old lawsuit, Judicial Watch highlights an unsuccessful 2012 candidate for Buncombe County commissioner as the basis for the organizations interest.
Christina Kelley Gallegos-Merrill, a Republican who lost her bid for county office by 13 votes, contends that same-day registration during the early-voting period could have played a role in her loss.
She contends that some students from Warren Wilson College, which she said had just been named as the most liberalcollege in a Newsweek poll, had given general on-campus addresses when registering and voting. She has contended that some of the students did not live in the residence halls they listed on their registrations and should not have been allowed to vote where they did.
I believe that I was harmed by, and possibly lost because of, the same-day registration during the early-voting period combined with the lack of a photo ID requirement, Gallegos-Merrill stated in an affidavit filed with the Judicial Watch documents. I believe that, because of these laws, a transient student population, of motivated, partisan voters, was able to deceive poll workers about which dorm they supposedly lived in, in order to oppose my candidacy.
Gallegos-Merrill sought relief from the county and state boards of election, but did not convince them that anything wrong had occurred.
Judicial Watch, which tangled with the Obama administration in Florida last year over efforts by the group to purge voter rolls there just months before the 2012 presidential election, has advocated voter ID laws for years.
Looking to 2014
Republicans have pushed for voter ID laws, arguing that they prevent voter fraud. Democrats and voting rights advocates point out that few cases of voter fraud have been brought across the country.
The NAACP, League of Women Voters, ACLU, the U.S. Justice Department and other groups that have filed lawsuits seeking to overturn large portions of the sweeping election law revision argue that the voter ID rule is intended, instead, to suppress votes, particularly those of African-Americans who often support Democrats.
In their lawsuit filed in August, the voter-rights advocates also are challenging cuts to the number of days that early voting is offered, the end of same-day registration and voting, and other measures.
Last week, a federal judge set a trial date for the summer of 2015, but set a hearing for this next summer to determine whether to order an injunction that keeps the rules from going into effect for the 2014 elections.
Though Judicial Watch stated in its request to intervene in the suit that state officials had indicated a willingness to allow the addition to the defense, a judge will ultimately decide.
Irv Joyner, an attorney for the NAACP, said Friday he expected Judicial Watch to be just one of many organizations seeking to intervene in the suits.
The attorneys had not discussed how they would respond to the immediate request or others. They have focused more recently on scheduling and witnesses they plan to line up for a case that is likely to generate national interest.

Like seagulls descending on the carcass of a spawned out king salmon washed ashore, I joined my fellow scavengers at Borders bookstore in Modesto for my chance to peck deals.
Some folks think that there is no such thing as Cabin Fever. They are dead wrong. If Alferd Packer was still around, they could ask him about it. Good old Alferd (that's really how he spelled his name) was the noted cannibal who ate several of his companions after being trapped with them while snowbound in Colorado in 1874. Along about this time of year I start getting fidgety and look longingly out the window every few minutes. Although I'm an incorrigible outdoors enthusiast, even I don't really enjoy standing in the pouring rain unless its hunting ...
Everyone has their favorite colored baits.
When Melvin Allen welcomed some of the Weston Ranch basketball team's reserve players onto the court for the final 1:09 of their 87-67 win over East Union Wednesday, Allen was still in coaching mode.
An hour into my fishing contemplation I heard my phone buzz with a message.
As is common this time of year, we have been getting a taste of the coming spring.
What a difference a week can make.
No one can take the simple act of fly-rod contemplation and digress into philosophical mumbo jumbo like my buddy Klinger.
I believe the outdoors is remarkably safe, yet no matter what you do, there are risks involved. It doesn't matter if you are commuting to work, or driving a forklift on the job, teaching in a classroom, there are risks involved & you could get hurt. You & I are probably much more likely to get in an auto accident, or slip & fall at work than we are likely to get injured while out fishing, hunting, or hiking. The difference is that outdoor pursuits are often solitary in nature and you are often in a remote location far from medical help ...
I've been exchanging emails with a cousin of mine from Oklahoma.
The fly-fishing section of the International Sportsman's Expo was an entire building complete with casting pond and corner stage for presentations by experts.
Kiwi who?
With all the fog that we've been having recently, I'm reminded of how important it is that we slow down on the water.
I was at a pretty good place mentally as I headed into a two-story building laced with the scent of preserved animals and musky hunters.
About 100 years ago, my Grandfather earned his living for several years as a professional flyfisher. He would fish the trout streams of Colorado with his flyrod, & sell the fish to the mining & logging camps. Since it was his livelihood, Grandpa's primary concern was catching as many large fish as possible, & he utilized numerous techniques to fill his fish sack. One of the most effective techniques Grandpa used was the dropper fly, which consistently produced more and larger fish. The dropper fly is still an amazingly effective technique today.
Last Thursday, while celebrating Thanksgiving, I mentioned to a family member that I was excited about my upcoming fishing trip.
The Valley Oak League season lived up to expectation, delivering us four worthy title contenders, and essentially two championship games on the final night.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - NASCAR's new championship format, lauded for creating nail-biting intensity, wild emotional swings and tension on and off of the track, has also been full of heartbreak.
For two years, Steven Martinez has lined up on the offensive or defensive line for the Manteca varsity football team.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - In the closing laps at Martinsville Speedway, Jeff Gordon could see Dale Earnhardt Jr. ahead of him with enough time to formulate a plan on how to handle his teammate if Gordon could catch him.
SALIDA - The football field at Modesto Christian on Friday night was covered with players that fit the "big, strong and physical" mold.
Watch out for the duck hunters, as duck hunting season has begun.
Sierra cross country coach Mike Rosendin has been named the Valley Oak League Model Coach of the Year for 2014-15.
It's been nearly a decade since she's stepped foot on this wind-swept campus, but Chelsea Gray can remember her time inside these brick-facade buildings with vivid clarity.
East Union has won three games for the first time under fourth-year football coach Willie Herrera.

I've been going to him for years, and can't imagine going to another doctor. I drive a over a 1/2hr just to see him. Office staff is good, once you get on a friendly basis with them (i.e. years of being a patient). Highly recommend.

Dr Perryman is great. His staff at the front desk are rude.

Best doctor in Pittsburgh. Tries to solve my health issues without drugs first. So addicts are out of luck here. My family and friends have been going there for years. All are completely satisfied.

I live in Mt. Lebanon - spent several hours researching decent local doctors. Perryman came up several times on several websites and had a few locals point me in his direction. Reviews are very accurate! Looks like he's a late 40's early 50's age guy. Highly recommended - spent at least 60 minutes talking with me, going over every detail, super in depth history, and gave great advice. No judgement on his part and super friendly and professional and when sticky subjects came up (e.g. being overweight) he was able to non-judgmentally assist me to be healthier and help me goal plan instead of "being overweight is bad - don't do that". He seems like he's got a scary good memory too - remembered every little detail of our conversation. My appointment was very punctual - he jokingly said he may run a few minutes late some days but that's because he tries to give everyone his 100% non rushed attention. He's my new PCP and I'd wait for him everytime. He's that good! Very tech-savvy too.

I know I'm in good hands. He is knowledgeable, caring and very comprehensive at his visits. I get the sense this is a man who enjoys his work. When he listens, he really HEARS what the patient is saying. As someone with a complicated medical history, I need doctors that I trust. I highly recommend this doctor.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Perryman!! He actually listens to you and doesn't treat you like you're stupid. Wait times are minimal, if any. With all my health issues and the numerous doctors I have seen since 2003, he is only the second doctor to have my complete trust.

Dr. Perryman is great! As long as you get past his incompetent and rude staff! They have no idea what they are doing and make the experience very difficult!

Dr. Perryman was unlike any other doctor I've ever visited. I did not wait at all. He actually talked tome for over an hour! We went through my "list" of concerns and health issues first; and discusssed everything at length. Also, he treated me like an equal and did not try to over ride my concerns with his "expertise". He did a very thorough physical. I am 36 and most doctors always just looked me over and said perfect health without checking blood or anything. Dr. Perryman ordered some basic labs and additional labs based on my concerns. Everything was entered into a computer system that I have access to at any time. At the end he verbally recounted the entire visit onto his blackberry (I assume to be typed out later). Even though I have some medical concerns I actually feel calm after my appointment. I totally trust this doctor!

A woman is dead after being hit by a school bus on the Upper East Side.
It happened at the corner of Second Avenue and 93rd Street.
Police say the woman—who was in her forties—was hit while in the crosswalk, but she may have been crossing against the light.
The area is congested because of Second Avenue Subway construction.
Residents say you always need to be on alert.
"When I just came up here I almost had an accident crossing because I didn't realize it was a construction site and stuff. It was so complicated at first until I got used to it," said one person in the area.
"You just have to look where you're going. That's all it is. Accidents happen right? You have to look where you're going, be aware. It's Manhattan—there's cars going all over the place and uh, tragedy happens, you know? It's sad," said another.
The bus was carrying six children ages 5 to 11 at the time of the accident.
None of them were injured.
Officials say the bus driver remained on the scene and has not been charged.

Eastleigh is a railway town in Hampshire, England, and the main town in the Borough of Eastleigh. The town lies between Southampton and Winchester, and is part of the South Hampshire conurbation. Eastleigh borough stretches from Netley on the banks of Southampton Water, the historic river villages of Hamble-le-Rice, Bursledon and Botley, the developing areas of Hedge End, West End, Fair Oak & Bishopstoke and the green residential belt of Chandler's Ford and Boyatt Wood. Eastleigh is home to many businesses, including a manufacturing plant owned by Prysmian Cables & Systems (formerly the cables division of Pirelli). The town lies on the River Itchen, one of England's premier chalk streams for fly fishing, a designated site of Special Scientific Interest due to its high quality habitats supporting a wide range of protected species including the threatened water vole,[1] otter, brook lamprey[2] and white-clawed crayfish.
The modern town of Eastleigh lies on the old Roman road, built in A.D.79 between Winchester (Venta Belgarum) and Bitterne (Clausentum).[3][4][5] Roman remains discovered in the Eastleigh area, including a Roman lead coffin excavated in 1908,[6] indicate that a settlement probably existed here in Roman times.[3][7][8]
A Saxon village called 'East Leah' has been recorded to have existed since 932 AD.[9] ('Leah' is an ancient Anglo-Saxon word meaning 'a clearing in a forest').[9] There is additional evidence of this settlement in a survey from the time which details land in North Stoneham being granted by King Æthelstan to his military aid, Alfred in 932 AD.[3][7][10] The prefix 'Est' or 'East' is thought to refer to its location relative to the established settlement of Baddesley.[3]
The Domesday Book of 1086 gives a more detailed account of the settlement, which is referred to as 'Estleie'.[3]
In 1838 the London and South Western Railway Company (L&SWR) built a railway from Southampton to Winchester.[9][11] It was decided to build a station near the little village of Barton. This railway station was originally named Bishopstoke Junction.[9] In 1868 the villages of Barton and Eastley were combined into one parish.[9] A parish church, the Church of the Resurrection, was built in the same year, at a cost of £2,300.[12] A local noted author of many novels, Charlotte Yonge, donated £500 towards the building of the church.[13] She was rewarded by being given the privilege to choose a name for the 'new' parish; either Barton or Eastly. She chose Eastly, but with a new modern spelling; Eastleigh.[13] In 1891 the L&SWR Carriage and Wagon Works from Nine Elms in London were transferred to Eastleigh. This was followed by the Nine Elms Locomotive Works which were moved there in 1909. These Railway Works were closed in 2006 but have since reopened, albeit on a smaller scale.
Eastleigh has seen a rapid and controlled expansion in residential, industrial and commercial development over recent years. The borough of Eastleigh was ranked the "9th best place to live in the UK 2006" by a Channel 4 programme.[14]
The United States Navy established a naval air station on 23 July 1918 to assemble and repair Caproni Ca.5 and Airco DH.4 and DH.9 bombers for the Northern Bombing Group of World War I. The base closed shortly after the First Armistice at Compiègne.[15]Perhaps Eastleigh's best-known 'resident' is the Spitfire aeroplane which was built in Southampton and first flown from Eastleigh Aerodrome (now Southampton International Airport). A replica has recently been placed on the roundabout at the entrance to the airport.
The most famous people linked to Eastleigh are probably Christabel Leighton-Porter, the model for the World War II cartoon character Jane,[16] and Benny Hill who both lived in the town.[17] Benny's first job was in Woolworths in Leigh Road, Eastleigh. He then moved on to be a milkman for Hanns Dairies, in Factory Road, now Wells Place. His time working in Eastleigh on a horse-drawn milk-float gave him his inspiration for his hit record, Ernie,the fastest milkman in the West.[18][19] In Benny's honour a plaque has been put up close to the site of the now demolished Hanns Dairies building[19] and a new road has been named Benny Hill Close, though many of the people who had bought the new homes were not happy with the decision.[20]
Sir Arthur Young, the eminent police chief, was born at 55 Chamberlayne Road in 1907. Sporting notables include Tommy Green who won an Olympic Gold Medal at the 1932 Los Angeles Games in the 50K walk, and Vince Hawkins who was briefly British Middleweight Boxing Champion in the late 1940s.[21][22][23]
Eastleigh Museum, which is to be found in the High Street holds information about the town and the surrounding villages, including Bishopstoke which had been the largest residential area.
Eastleigh has two further education colleges: Barton Peveril Sixth Form College (where Colin Firth was a student) and Eastleigh College (both on the same road). Secondary schools include Crestwood College and Quilley School of Engineering, and primary schools include Cherbourg Primary School, Norwood Primary School, Nightingale Primary School, The Crescent Primary School, and Shakespeare Infant and Junior Schools to the north of the town.[24]
Eastleigh F.C.[edit]
Eastleigh F.C. are the town's sole senior football team playing, from 2014/2015, in the Conference Premier (after promotion from the Conference South in 2013/2014) as well as entering the FA Cup and the FA Trophy.
Eastleigh Ladies Hockey Club[edit]
Eastleigh Ladies Hockey Club is based in South Hampshire. It fields 2 teams in the Hampshire Women's League (playing Saturdays), as well as playing floodlit and indoor league games (playing on weekdays).
Eastleigh Rugby Football Club[edit]
Eastleigh Rugby Football Club play from "The Hub" in Eastleigh. They currently have four senior sides, excellent colts and young player development, their 1st XV currently play in the London 3 South West. Also based at The Hub are "The Hurricanes", a team for young adults with learning difficulties.
In 2005 Chris Huhne was elected as the Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament (MP) for the Eastleigh constituency after the previous MP (David Chidgey, also Liberal Democrat) retired. Eastleigh has a tradition of close contests, and Huhne narrowly beat the Conservative candidate Conor Burns with the second lowest swing against the Liberal Democrats of any seat with a retiring MP (2.6%). David Chidgey had succeeded the Conservative MP Stephen Milligan after his high-profile death. Chris Huhne was appointed as Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change following the 2010 general election. Huhne resigned the seat in February 2013 after pleading guilty to perverting the course of justice over a 2003 speeding case,[25] triggering the Eastleigh by-election, 2013 which was won by another Liberal Democrat, Mike Thornton.[26]
The B&Q head office is on Chestnut Avenue in Eastleigh.[27] The town was formerly home to a Mr Kipling bakery.[28]
- Air
Southampton Airport (IATA: SOU, ICAO: EGHI), the 20th largest airport in the UK, is located in Eastleigh. Southampton Airport is served by a dedicated mainline railway station, Southampton Airport Parkway, which is the next station stop (5 minutes) from Eastleigh railway station.
- Rail
Eastleigh is served by Eastleigh railway station, a mainline station on the South Western Main Line from London Waterloo (just 75 minutes away) and Winchester to Southampton, Bournemouth and Poole, with a fast and frequent service to those places. It is also the junction station for two other routes, the Eastleigh-Fareham Line and the Eastleigh-Romsey Line.
- Bus
Eastleigh has bus services provided by Stagecoach South, Bluestar, Brijan Tours, First Group Hampshire, Wilts & Dorset and Xelabus.
- Road
Eastleigh is also located close to the junction between the M3 motorway and M27 motorway, giving easy road access to Southampton, Winchester, Bournemouth, Portsmouth and places between.
The Swan Centre[edit]
The Swan Shopping Centre opened in 1989, and was built in the heart of the town's Victorian 'grid iron' road layout and blocked off Market Street and High Street - although through access was possible for pedestrians while the centre was open. The Swan Centre included a French-style café and a new library[29] (replacing the recently demolished Town Hall library) in the High Street atrium.

The Polar Bottle is an innovative, made in the USA (right in Boulder), high-quality bottle that keeps liquids cool for twice as long as other plastic bottles. It insulates better than any other bike bottle on the market as it uses a barrier of air to prevent heat transfer. It is made of BPA-free and Phthalate-free LDPE (Low-density polyethylene) plastic, which carries recycle number 4. Polar Bottles have been made from LDPE since their inception. Plus, the bottle has been enhanced to allow for much easier squeezing so even the gentlest of hands can easily drink even after miles and miles in the saddle.

Discussion (16) ¬
Wow she upsets me a lot.
Not sure whether he's blowing her off because he knows her from Jim or because he's got his Cray-dar set to Red Alert but either way I am completely satisfied with this sequence of events!
My girl friend called it, she said he was gonna blow her off
I'm not sure if I like or not. He seems to be a good guy with a crappy way of expressing it, kind of like he has social problems.
I like Ally's friends. They seem like a close friendly bunch.
Meant to say Gary
I wonder if he might have aspergers actually. Would explain some of his awkwardness (aside from when he is knowingly rude, he seems to be uncomfortable in social situations). Kind of really relate to that.
Snubbed in the best of ways
If she even thinks about messing with Ally, I hope Roxie gives her a piece of her mind!
I hope Gary gives her a piece of his mind if she shows any more issues.
I gotta say, her presence in the comic irritates me. And not because she herself is irritating (she is), but the stereotype of the young, attractive, female con-goer who feels superior to all the geeks and is just trying to screw important people and probably doesn't even know anything about the culture is a shitty stereotype that needs to be destroyed.
Normally a big fan of the comic.
I love validation but I'm starting to miss the shorter comics.
