Record-breaking cyclist Pat Kenny killed while cycling on A38
News comes at end of a week when at least five cyclists were killed on Britain's roads
Record-breaking cyclist Pat Kenny has died following a collision with a car on the A38 at Claymills, near Burton-on-Trent, while out cycling.
Mr Kenny, aged 72, had spent much of his lifetime in the saddle, clocking up more than 900,000 miles, and in 1980 set a then record for Land's End to John O'Groats by tricycle of two days, ten hours and 30 minutes.
According to a tribute posted on the Timetrialling Forum, Mr Kenny, who was married with three children, should have left the UK last Wednesday to go on holiday in Tunisia getting in some winter training miles, but his trip was cancelled as a result of the civil unrest gripping the North African country.
The 44-year-old male driver of the BMW involved in the collision, which took place last Friday afternoon, was arrested but subsequently released on bail by police, who are seeking witnesses to the incident, reports the Burton Mail.
A spokesperson for Staffordshire Police told the newspaper: "We are appealing for any witnesses who saw the collision or either the cyclist or the BMW prior to the incident."
Anyone with information is requested to call PC 5112 Richard Davis or Sergeant 4616 Nigel Roberts at Staffordshire Police on 0300 123 4455.
News of Kenny's death comes just days after the death of up-and-coming British rider Lewis Balyckyi is Lancashire and during a month that is seeing cyclists pay a heavy price for riding on Britain's roads.
Last weekend, 67-year-old Pat Appleton was killed while on an Audax ride near Stroud, Gloucestershire, when she was hit by a van towing a trailer beneath a railway bridge, while a 17-year-old male cyclist was killed on the A10 near Cambridge, with police subsequently arresting a driver on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and failing to stop at the scene of an accident.
Last Wednesday, a senior child protection expert at the children's charity NSPCC was killed in Holloway, North London, while cycling from his home in Woodford Green to his Camden office.
Dr Colin Hawkes, aged 64, had published widely on the subject of child abuse, and officers the Metropolitan Police's Road Death Investigation Unit at Alperton Traffic Garage are calling for witnesses to contact them on 0208 998 5319.
Road safety campaigner Caroline Russell, chairwoman of Islington's Living Streets initiative, highlighted the danger being posed to cyclists by speeding drivers, telling the Islington Gazzette: "I can't comment on this incident because I don't know the facts. But I have noticed recently a lack of respect for speed limits elsewhere in the borough, especially the breaking of limits on 20mph and 30mph roads.
"There are still many who are selfish and drive dangerously fast for the roads they are on, when pedestrians and cyclist are particularly vulnerable.
"Police have said they will not put any more resources into ensuring speed limits are followed.
"They should put in random, mobile speed cameras that can be moved around the borough," she added.
2011 is not shaping up to be a great year in terms of cyclist fatalities....
Really, though?

It's so sad that so much of the news recently, here and abroad, seems to include reports of cyclists being killed in traffic accidents. My heart and sympathy goes out to all those affected by these dreadful events.

So sorry to hear about Pat Kenny. To survive 900,000 miles only to be mown down in 2011. It just shows how much worse things have become this past year I think.
This might lead to something in about 20 years maybe:

Joslin Diabetes Education Affiliate
The Certified Diabetes Educators at the Joslin Diabetes Center education affiliate at St. Mary's Medical Center will partner with you and your physician to help you effectively manage your diabetes.
Our educators understand the difficulties that accompany diabetes, and have designed numerous opportunities to help you find the answers you need.
The Joslin Diabetes Center education affiliate at St. Mary's is a partner of the world-renowned Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, an international leader in diabetes treatment, research, and education. Individuals educated at Joslin receive the benefit of millions of dollars worth of research.
Are You New To Diabetes?
If you have just been told that you have diabetes, you are likely experiencing a variety of emotions. Common questions include:
- Do I have to give up my favorite foods?
- Is there anything I can do to keep from losing my eyesight?
- What does this shaky, sweaty feeling mean?
- How do I choose a blood sugar monitor?
The certified diabetes educators at St. Mary's can answer these questions, and teach lifestyle changes to manage your diabetes day-to-day and prevent long-term complications.
There are several ways to begin diabetes education. One education option begins with small amounts of information offered through a nutrition class or monitoring class. What Can I Eat and Easy Steps to Monitoring are designed to start education without overwhelming participants. From this foundation, patients may desire to proceed to the Steps to Success program.
For those patients who are interested in learning as much as possible, as quickly as possible, we recommend Steps to Success. In this program, patients look at all aspects of diabetes management, including nutrition and exercise issues, blood sugar monitoring, medications, and avoiding long-term complications such as eye disease, kidney disease, heart disease and foot problems.
Are You "Burned Out" Trying to Manage Your Diabetes?
Some patients who have attempted to manage their diabetes on their own have experienced "burn out", which is the feeling of wanting to give up because it is too difficult to continue. Others have actually given up but now have a desire to take care of themselves again.
At St. Mary's, our goal is to partner with patients to help find management strategies that work for their respective lifestyles. Some patients:
- need a re-working of their meal plan
- are worried about their feet, and want to learn to take care of them properly
- have been checking their blood sugar for years and could benefit from experience with new monitors
- are motivated by a complete review
- and update of diabetes management
How St. Mary's Can Help
We are here to help patients with diabetes management issues, to answer questions and to work with patients and their physicians to find solutions to individual concerns. Ask your doctor to refer you to Joslin or call (304) 526-8363 to request an information packet. Once we have the referral from your physician, we can work to schedule you for classes or an individual consultation.
The Joslin Diabetes Center education affiliate at St. Mary's is accredited by the American Diabetes Association and is Medicare-approved. Most insurance providers offer benefits for diabetes education. Check with your insurance company regarding coverage.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Born in Saitama, Japan, Nobuyuki "Nobu" Matsuhisa always showed a passion for food while working at various kitchens in Japan, Peru and Los Angeles. With the opening his own restaurant on La Cienega Boulevard in 1987, Matsuhisa quickly became the hot spot, frequented by many celebrities—including Robert DeNiro, who invited Nobu to open in New York as a partner. NOBU opened in Tribeca with abundant fanfare in 1993, followed by NOBU and Matsuhisa outposts in London, Milan, Greece, Tokyo, Moscow, Honolulu, Dubai, Aspen, Miami, Budapest . . . well, you get the picture. Fast-forward to February 4, 2013, and the first celebrity chef-branded hotel opened in Las Vegas—NOBU HOTEL.
From the trio of Robert DeNiro, Chef Nobu Matsuhisa and Hollywood producer Meir Teper, NOBU HOTEL is a 181-room boutique hotel within a massively large hotel—taking over the 14-story Centurion Tower at Caesar's Palace that was built in 1970. I recall staying in the Centurion Tower and preferred the original room design to the modern rooms of the recently added towers. The rooms appeared a bit smaller, but certainly excelled in character.
Designed by David Rockwell, who created the impressive looks for Chambers Hotel in New York, the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Vegas, and, more importantly, the first NOBU Restaurant in Tribeca, NOBU Hotel features natural elements blended with cherry blossoms and origami. Up-and-coming Japanese artists are featured in a mix of traditional prints and expressionist designs. NOBU Hotel has no lobby—guests are escorted to their rooms by iPad-wielding staff members for a personalized check-in experience.
The bathrooms have teak fittings, stone tile and sleek modern fixtures. The over-sized walk-in shower is made with traditional black Umi tiles and offers multiple showerheads and a teak bathing stool, a fixture of traditional Japanese bathhouses. The overall experience is the fusion of Japanese and Asian traditions with Western accompaniments—all presented with Vegas flair designed to convey an extension of the fun and energetic Nobu lifestyle.
Be sure to check out NOBU Restaurant within NOBU Hotel. At a whopping 12,775 square feet with seating for 327, this is the largest NOBU Restaurant worldwide . . . and there are many. The design is based on the Japanese notion of wabi sabi, a "design aesthetic of simplicity, evocative transience and beauty in unexpected and natural rawness." The cuisine is all Nobu. You can eve have room service deliver a NOBU breakfast for you and your companion?
With all the frenetic energy of the The Strip—specifically Caesar's Palace, who, it seems, has lured ever celebrity chef to their family of restaurants—NOBU Hotel is a quiet respite housed in its own tower, one of the few "boutique" hotels in Las Vegas . . . and, as you may have surmised, here at IN CLASSIC STYLE we prefer boutique over mega when it comes to favorite destinations.

Sigillata jug
Roman, AD 1-25
Made in Cincelli, near Arezzo, Italy
Arretine Ware
The lower body of the jug is decorated with motifs in sharp relief. Contained within two horizontal bands of concentric circles is a zig-zag pattern of straight festoons with rosettes at the angles. Above the festoons are ivy leaves and rosettes, while below are straight elongated leaves and tendrils. In the upper part of the decoration is a name stamp of P. Cornelius, one of the most famous 'Arretine' potters of the period. The pottery jug's debt to metalwork can be seen in details of the form, such as the foot, the high, arching handle and in particular the way in which the handle is attached to the body.
Italian sigillata is widely known as Arretine Ware because of the concentration of early production at Arezzo in Tuscany. It was almost certainly inspired by imported Red Slip Wares such as Eastern sigillata from Syria. Production seems to have begun just after the middle of the first century BC and to have boomed throughout the Augustan period (about 30 BC-AD 15). Early products of very high quality showed the strong influence of metal vessels. Closed forms such as this jug, and large, chalice-shaped drinking vessels and beakers, were all made using moulds attached to the potter's wheel and were decorated with fine relief decoration. Production took place on a quasi-industrial scale in groups of workshops in and around centres such as Arezzo and Pisa.

Lower Ark weighs in on EPA move
Board disagrees with Waters of the U.S. plan
ROCKY FORD — A district formed to protect water in the Lower Arkansas Valley plans to weigh in on proposed rules that some say amount to a federal water grab.
The Lower Arkansas Valley Water Conservancy District voted Wednesday to send a formal comment to the Environmental Protection Agency on its proposed Waters of the United States, claiming that it goes too far in regulating wetlands and even groundwater connected to streams.
The rules are an attempt to resolve conflicting U.S. Supreme Court decisions that center on the issue of "navigable waters."
"East of the Mississippi River, all waters may be navigable, but it doesn't make sense for the arid West," said Mark Pifher, the Arkansas River basin's representative on the Colorado Water Quality Commission.

BADGERS: Half Full or Half Empty?
Now that the Badger basketball team has concluded it's Big(11)Ten season, I have started to consider their future.
Not their future in the NCAA tournament. If you've watched the team this season, then you should already have a pretty good handle on how that's going to go. Being the Badgers, they will give anyone they play a battle. They will also ultimately be done in by the shortcomings that have plagued them all year. The lack of "go to player" has left them vulnerable to scoring droughts at critical times. The absence of a true post player has hurt them on both offense with their inability to "finish" around the basket and on the other end where they lack a last line of defense. They still struggle with pressure and the Ohio St. loss reminded us that they continue to have trouble attacking zone defenses because their shooting is inconsistent at best. Much will depend on who they're matched up against, of course, but to expect anything more than even one win in the NCAA tournament is decidedly unrealistic.
None of the above is intended as a knock on the Badgers. I believe that coach Bo Ryan may have done his best coaching job given what he had to work with; getting as much out of his team as any Badger fan had a right to expect. An objective observer would likely marvel that the Badgers managed to finish in fourth place in an unusually deep conference. The season could easily have drifted into oblivion with the six game losing streak in the middle. The team showed a lot of character and deserves a great deal of credit for turning things around and securing a tournament bid.
The question that has entered my mind is, where does the program go from here? In order to return to contention for the conference title, one of the Badgers remaining players is going to have to develop into an offensive force akin to what Devin Harris or Alando Tucker was in the past. They have at least a couple of candidates there but either will have to overcome limitations. Trevon Hughes has that attitude but is often limited by his relatively small stature and questionable decision making, though that area has improved in the latter part of this season. Perhaps a better choice here would be forward Jon Leuer, who's skill set could allow him to take his game to the next level if he gains strength and stops thinking like the guard that he used to be. A third possibility could be guard Jordan Taylor, who has shown flashes this year of what he could become. But Taylor will likely be blocked from a prominent role as long as Hughes is there. It's also clear that one of the Badgers big men will have to provide a defensive presence if they hope to compete in the rugged Big(11)Ten.
One thing that is certain is that Ryan's job won't be getting any easier. New coaches hired in the last couple of years have breathed life into previously dormant programs, greatly increasing the level of competition and the depth of the conference. Tubby Smith at Minnesota has already proven to be trouble on the court and a thorn in Ryan's recruiting side. Matt Painter at Purdue, John Behlein at Michigan, and Bill Carmody at Northwestern have already taken their programs up a notch from where they were. And that doesn't even include what former Marquette coach Tom Crean figures to bring at Indiana. Given all these factors, the Badgers will be hard pressed to continue the success they've previously enjoyed. If they hope to return to Big(11)Ten prominence, Bo will have to step his game up as well.

Astonishing Science. Spectacular museum.
Need volunteers for your research? Why not experiment on Science Museum visitors? Opportunities exist for high-calibre biomedical researchers to carry out research on visitors in the Science Museum's contemporary science wing.
Live Science gives biomedical researchers an exciting opportunity to study some of the 2.7 million visitors who pass through the doors of the Science Museum each year.
Researchers are given the chance to gain access to participants already motivated by an interest in science, providing scientists with a rich source of data, and to enhance their public engagement skills.
Activities take place during Museum opening hours in a dedicated space within the Who Am I? Gallery in the Museum's Wellcome Wing, which is devoted to how contemporary science informs our thinking about identity.
We want our visitors to experience science for themselves by participating in real research experiments, engaging with research teams to discover how their work informs our perceptions of identity. We hope that studies will generate new and valuable data, and that both researchers and the Museum gain press coverage and exposure in scientific publications as a result of research conducted here.
Studies need to have existing funding and be engaging for Science Museum visitors. You will need to obtain ethical approval from your host institution, an authorised countersignatory to a formal contract with the Museum, and public and product liability insurance. Participating researchers will be vetted in line with Museum policy.
Applications for 2015 have now closed
Interested researchers should download the following:
Please send completed forms to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
We welcome applications from any branch of biomedical research, although we anticipate the scheme to be most relevant to geneticists, neuroscientists, psychologists, biomedical scientists and epidemiologists. Researchers should be able to commit themselves to a minimum of 15–25 hours per week and each individual residency is tailored to suit the needs of both the study and researcher.
Download examples and templates of Live science materials:
The Science Museum has welcomed many different research groups – from psychologists and epidemiologists to genetic anthropologists and linguistics experts. They asked thousands of our visitors questions such as 'Are you easily distracted?' and 'Will you spit for science?'
Examples of previous Live Science projects include:

When Grays Harbor College was established in 1930, a tradition of helping our students succeed also began. Now, some 80 years later, we have assembled excellent instructors and dedicated staff, all caring individuals focused on providing the very best services to the students in the Grays Harbor and Pacific counties that we serve.
We are focused on success of all varieties – helping students as they work towards an Associate degree with plans to transfer on to a four-year college or university; teaching Workforce Preparation skills that could lead to a new or improved job; or encouraging someone as they strive to earn a GED, master English as a new language, or enroll in any one of our community education courses.
Grays Harbor College Foundation
The Grays Harbor College Foundation is among the oldest of the community college foundations in the Northwest, founded more than 50 years ago with proceeds raised from Gala Starlight Ball events. Since that time, the Foundation has continued to award scholarships for deserving students and support of college programs.
The Foundation Board of Directors, which meets monthly on the main campus, includes more than 25 community leaders from Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties. In addition to funding ten full-tuition scholarships each year, the Foundation also sponsors the World Class Scholars program. Through this outreach program, the Foundation challenges jr high school students to make a plan for college at GHC. After successful completion of WCS requirements, students qualify for a $1500 scholarship at GHC. To date more than 1200 students have received medallions.
In 2013-2014 the Foundation will award more than 250 scholarships and $139,500 in support of GHC including Childcare Scholarships, GED Scholarships, Athletic Scholarships, Graduation Breakfast, Year End Awards, Student Tickets, Book Loans, Summer Musical and much needed instructional equipment. Thanks to all who who support our mission.
For further information about donations to the Foundation or creating scholarship endowments, contact the office at (360) 538-4243.

Is Rodman the Missing Piece to the Lakers Offense?
Dennis Rodman's addition to the Los Angeles Lakers may be the missing piece of the puzzle to get them back to the NBA Finals. Even though the "bad boy" of the NBA has missed the first two weeks of the abbreviated season, he fills a gaping hole in the Lakers' attack: rebounding. And as he proved during his stormy two years with the Chicago Bulls, if a team is willing to put up with his antics he can be a dominating rebounding force for a veteran championship contender.

CAPS Launches Stan & Sharon Sakai Benefit Auction on March 6th
February 24, 2014 by Colin Solan
Filed under Comic Books, Comic Strips, Everything Else, Other, Top Stories
**UPDATE** Auctions begin TODAY on eBay starting at 5PM PST/8PM EST at the link!!
Press Release:
On Thursday, March 6, 2014, Southern California's CAPS, the Comic Art Professional Society, will launch an ongoing series of eBay auctions of original comic art. Its goal is to raise funds for medical care for Sharon Sakai, the wife of respected cartoonist and longtime CAPS member Stan Sakai, creator of the samurai rabbit USAGI YOJIMBO. Sharon has been battling a debilitating brain tumor for some time; after an extended hospital stay and convalescence, she is currently at home, but her condition requires 24-hour care and medicine that costs more than the Sakai's insurance covers. 100% of the proceeds of these auctions will go directly to Stan and Sharon Sakai to help pay their ongoing medical expenses.
The CAPS auctions will be conducted through eBay.com beginning on Thursday, March 6, with a new set of auctions every following Thursday. Each auction, sold under the seller name of "CAPSauction", will be ten days in length with twenty to forty items in each set of auctions. The donations of original artwork and collectibles (including newly created art unique to this event, vintage comic book pages, comic strips, illustrations, animation art, limited edition statues, and IDW Artist's editions books) number over three hundred with new items arriving every day.
Contributors include: Adam Hughes, Alex Maleev, Arthur Adams, Batton Lash, Eric Powell, Jan Duursema, Jerry Ordway, Jordi Bernet, Matt Groening, Michael Allred, Mike Mignola, Paul Gulacy, Sanjuliàn, Scott Shaw!, Jim Steranko, Tim Sale, William Stout, Bill Sienkiewicz, Cameron Stewart, Dan Brereton, Daniel Parsons, Dave Gibbons, Dean Yeagle, Doug Sneyd, Dustin Nguyen, Bill Morrison, Tone Rodriguez, Sergio Aragonés, Fabio Moon, Francisco Francavilla, Gene Ha, Geof Darrow, Gilbert Hernandez, Jack Davis, James O'Barr, Kevin Eastman, Jeff Lemire, Jeff Smith, Kazu Kibuishi, Liam Sharp, Tom Richmond, Michael Jantze, Olivia, Oscar Martin, Paul Chadwick, Richard Corben, Tom Mandrake, Walter Simonson, Charles Vess, Dan Spiegle, J. Scott Campbell and many more.
Many of the pieces featuring Usagi Yojimbo will appear in a new oversized hardcover book from Dark Horse, THE SAKAI PROJECT: ARTISTS CELEBRATE THIRTY YEARS OF USAGI YOJIMBO, which will be released on July 23, 2014. All proceeds from this book will go to Stan and Sharon Sakai. Much of the custom Usagi Yojimbo art created for this book will also be sold as a part of CAPS' online auctions.
These fund-raising auctions will be promoted through ComicArtFans.com, and the CAPS – COMIC ART PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY Facebook page where you will be able to see updated information such as when certain pieces will be auctioned.

Welcome to the Better Homes and Gardens Subscription Program
This FREE benefit provides each current APGA member garden/organization the opportunity to offer Better Homes and Gardens magazine subscriptions to their new and renewing members AND to all staff, volunteers, and board of directors. Offer valid in both the United States and Canada!
What is it?
This Subscription Program is a Member Benefit for APGA Gardens & Institutions.
- This Member Benefit is available for the members, staff, board of directors & volunteers at each APGA Member Garden/Institution.
- This benefit is NOT available for Individual APGA Members (it is a benefit for Garden/Institutional Members only).
The Subscription Program provides a one-year magazine subscription to each person that purchases a membership from an APGA Member Garden.
The Program is voluntary – APGA provides subscription post cards that you give to members that renew or join.
What are the Guidelines?
Your Garden/Institution must be a current APGA Institutional Member.
This Member Benefit is intended to be an incentive to increase your membership sales.
Do NOT send cards to current members – Give cards to people who are in your renewal cycle.
If a member does not wish to receive the subscription, they should simply throw away the card.
If a member already has a subscription, they can complete the card & mail it to get a bonus year.
What Do I Have to Do?
Each participating Garden/Institution will designate a representative (or their Membership Manager).
To request the cards, email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
In your message, include the quantity of cards desired, and name & address of your garden.
After you receive the cards, then distribute them to people that have purchased memberships or renewed. You can include the cards in your acknowledgment letters.
- Do NOT distribute the subscription cards to current members – The Subscription Program is intended to drive FUTURE membership sales.
This Program is NOT retroactive.
It is best to give a card to each member at the time of purchase, or to include the card in the acknowledgment letters.
Provide clear instructions: To redeem the subscription, each person must fill out the card and mail it directly to Better Homes & Gardens (not to you). Clarify to your members that it does NOT happen automatically. They have to complete the card. Allow 6-8 weeks for processing.
You are encouraged to promote this Member Benefit on your own website.
Feel free to distribute the cards to your staff and volunteers.
Who Should I Contact with questions?
If you are not sure which membership you have, please email Suzanne at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Event Summary
Remedy Corp
(NASDAQ: RMDY) purchased Axtive to add personalization to Remedy's customer
relations management (CRM) and help desk products. Axtive can track a user's
profile and serve unique pages to each user based on the profile. Remedy believes
that this will ultimately reduce the costs of customer relationship management
and provide the right information to each customer in fewer clicks. The new
Remedy products will also contain features that let companies analyze the needs
and experiences of their customers, based in Axtive technology.
should enable Remedy to have more attractive product offerings. Anyone who has
to interact with a web site when what they really want is personal attention
will welcome sites that seem to remember their last calls and can tailor information
to their skill level and previous history. Companies benefit from increased
information and from additional possibilities for creating marketing relationships
with customers.
the CRM product is certainly the right place to start integrating personalization,
it will be interesting to see whether Remedy eventually finds ways to add value
to its E-procurement product and other members of its enterprise portal family
Remedy@Work. This could prove to be just the right marginal differentiator
in a space that is going to become increasingly commoditized over the year.
CRM is used to describe a number of different software products. The addition
of Axtive's technology will only be interesting to you if Remedy's core product
meets your need. If it does, then there are two things to look at in evaluating
the value added by this acquisition.
ask what can you do with it? Remedy should be able to make very specific proposals
about how this technology can make a difference in your particular business.
get a good understanding of what it will take to implement and maintain the
solution. Axtive claims that its tools are easy to learn and easy to use. Learn
enough about them to decide up front whether you want to train your own staff
for implementing your personalization or rely on the company's consulting services.
you choose Remedy to build the solution, get a firm schedule; it won't be surprising
if there is a period of a few months where Remedy people are coming up to speed
and Axtive's experienced people are spread too thin. If you choose to do it
yourself, sample the training and the technical support services before you

SmartCo Foods says its disappointing sales figures failed to reach the company's expectations. The company opened its five Colorado locations a mere five months ago.
"Despite our best efforts, the level of sales achieved in the SmartCo Foods stores after several months did not meet our goals and is not sufficient to sustain continued operations," Dave Hirz, president of Smart & Final Stores LLC, the parent company of SmartCo Foods, stated in a news release. "We are grateful to all our associates who helped open and operate our stores, and are committed to doing all we can to support them through this difficult time."
The company says it plans to begin store closure sales on Wednesday.
Employees will be offered severance packages once the stores where they work are closed, but are also being encouraged to relocate to other open positions in nearby states.
"While we regret having to close these stores and the impact this will have on our Colorado employees and customers, we remain committed to the SmartCo Foods concept and will open stores under the SmartCo Foods banner in other markets where we believe the concept will be successful. The first of these will open later this week in Lake Forest, Calif.," Hirz stated.

The truck was headed north on Highway 501 at Harris Mill Road in Durham, near the Person County line, about 3 a.m. when the driver noticed the rear wheels had apparently overheated and caught fire, and pulled over. Flames had burned into the trailer.
Fire destroyed several pallets of napkins and other paper supplies, sugar and flour. But most of the food was refrigerated in a self-contained part of the vehicle, and was not damaged.
Needham said firefighters spent about an hour unloading the truck, and completed the job about 4:15 a.m.
"It was a mess to put out," he said.
Both northbound lanes of Highway 501 were closed for about an hour.

The Magic City Boppers organization was
founded in Birmingham, Alabama on July 11, 1990. The group was formed to promote
Birmingham's own dance, the Birmingham Bop. The dance is Birmingham's
own version of a dance done throughout the nation and known by many names and
danced many similar ways.
The Birmingham Bop involves partners touching, doing a repetitive step and a set of turns and spins unique to the dance. It's as smooth and graceful as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, with turns and spins added to make it as energetic as American Bandstand and MTV.
Since 1990, several changes have been implemented by this club, but one element has remained the same - "the promotion of the Birmingham Bop".
The club will meet three Wednesday nights and one monthly party on Friday night at the Kelly Ingram VFW, 1801 11th Ave North, BHM 35234 and dancing starts at 7:00 PM. , and our annual May "Hangout Weekend" in Panama City, Florida.

The elegant Motion 40 features an advanced resolution Folded Motion™ tweeter, a 5-1/2" aluminum cone midrange driver and dual 6-1/2" aluminum cone woofers. Part of the secret to the Motion 40's outstanding performance lies in the dual oversized black-aluminum cone woofers paired with a rear-firing bass port. The oversized woofer design creates increased cone area delivering higher output and audibly richer, deeper bass performance than it's slightly smaller sibling, the Motion 20. The addition of a dedicated mid-woofer also promotes an even more open, revealing and authentic sound in the critical midrange. Pairing this powerful trio with our Folded Motion tweeter creates audible acoustic alchemy across the frequency spectrum.

Drag n drop not working?
query: 7 days, overdue, no date
Current Firefox on Win7 64 bit
I attempt to drag n drop a task up to higher in the list, but miss the drag "handle". I then move my mouse back over the item, but the drag handle doesn't appear, so I cannot drag it. Reloading the page makes the handle reappear.
Typically it is taking me 2-3 attempts to drag a single task. Since I do this several times a day, this is starting to get frustrating. This is new behavior, never had this problem before, but I've been away from todoist for 5 days, so can't say exactly when it started.
All responses
I can confirm this issue. I have let the developers know.
Thank you for the information,
Any updates on this? I see there have been 2 releases since I reported it, but it's still not working. I can drag one item, and then if I try to drag a second, it just selects page content - I have to reload the page to drag a second item.
We're very sorry for the inconvenience, we've notified the developers about this issue and we'll address it soon.
Best regards,
The issue will be fixed in V113.

Main gas line ruptures, shuts down MLK
by Wes Mayer
A portion of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive was shut down to traffic Wednesday following an incident in which a construction crew ruptured an unmarked natural gas line around Dodson Street.
The site is about a block west of Central Educational Center.
Authorities with the Newnan Police Department and Newnan Fire Department were called to the scene around 4 p.m., and Martin Luther King was closed between Price Street and Dodson Street, said Newnan Fire Chief David Whitley. Dodson Street was also closed from Martin Luther King to Octavia Place, but Ball Street remained open. Authorities rerouted traffic and evacuated people from the area.
Officials with Atlanta Gas Light were called to the scene arrived around 4:30 p.m. The gas officials had to dig around the main line, which was around two to four inches in diameter, in order to shut off the gas, and estimated late Wednesday the process would take anywhere from an hour-and-a-half to four hours.
Whitley said the line was ruptured during the construction of a new Dollar General store.

After what seemed like forever, we recently got a dining room table as well as carpet in the living room (details to come via The Forever Home Project). That, along with my second trimester translating into a 90% decrease in nausea, meant we were finally able to have friends over this weekend!
I've been dying to entertain in the new house so I went a little fall crazy (hot apple cider, pumpkin bread, etc.) which reminded me that I really do love the tastes and smells of autumn. It's all just so comforting, like curling up in front of a warm fire in your favorite cozy sweater and wool socks (or is that just me?).
In that spirit, we're sharing one of our favorite fall recipes from our new eBook, Hands-On Holidays: Simple Ideas for Making Memories October through December. Here's Kristin with her amazingly yummy sea salt caramel apples. Enjoy!
Step up your caramel apple game with a homemade salted caramel sauce. Did you know that caramel has just 3 ingredients (4 if you want to make it salted caramel)!? It sounds all complicated with the salty and sweet thing going on, but making caramel sauce is just about technique.
Start with these four ingredients:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into pieces
- 1 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon flaky sea salt
You'll need a heavy skillet to heat the sugar over medium heat. Whisk the sugar as it begins to melt. The sugar will begin to form clumps and eventually the clumps will melt back down. Keep whisking until the sugar becomes amber brown.
It should smell slightly toasted. Take it off the heat. Then, change to a spoon or spatula and carefully stir in the butter, then cream and lastly the sea salt. Cool completely.
Make yourself a batch of caramel and you'll have enough to cover at least 10 apples. Save some for your ice cream…you'll thank me later!
I use small gala apples. It ups the caramel to apple ratio and that's always a good thing!
While your caramel sauce is cooling, take your sticks and paint the ends gold. (Don't get near that part that will go into the apple.) This just fancies things up. Talk about PERFECT fall gifts.
Insert the sticks into the apples and dip or drizzle caramel onto each one. Make sure the caramel has cooled enough that it isn't too thin. Room temperature is usually just about right.
Refrigerate the apples for about an hour to set the caramel. I like to tie a little bow to the end of each stick if I'm giving them as gifts. And if you're dealing with picky eaters, feel free to omit the salt from the caramel recipe.

Snowfall storm totals include 12 inches at Clare in Harrison County as of 8:30 a.m. and 10 inches near Evart in Osceola County as of 8 a.m. A total of 6 inches was reported this morning about 4 miles north of Holland in Ottawa County, in East Grand Rapids in Kent County and Hesperia in Newaygo County.
The banded nature of the snow will result in highly variable visibilities and storm total accumulations. Winds will gust to 25 mph from the northwest toward late morning.
The National Weather Service said another 2-4 inches is expected before the snow diminishes this afternoon.
— Roads are snow-covered and slippery.
— Some localized power outages are possible due the heavy wet snow and some gusty winds.
— The Michigan Department of Transportation reminds motorists to adjust speeds based on the conditions, and to take it slow in ice and snow.
— While schools in Northwest Ottawa County are open today, many other districts east and south of the Grand Haven area — including West Ottawa, Zeeland and Holland schools — are closed today.
For up-to-date closing and cancellations, visit www.wzzm13.com.
The Grand Haven-area forecast:
This afternoon: Snow. High near 34. North-northwest wind around 16 mph. Total daytime snow accumulation of around 6 inches.
Tonight: Snow showers. Low around 27. Blustery, with a northwest wind between 14 and 23 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100 percent. New snow accumulation of around 2 inches.
Saturday: Snow showers likely, mainly before 1 p.m. Cloudy, with a high near 32. Northwest wind at 13- 17 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60 percent. New snow accumulation of less than 1 inch possible.

Paul Bonhomme is the 2009 Red Bull Air Race World Champion.
With hindsight it's always better to win the hard way – though it may not appear so at the time. Paul Bonhomme certainly didn't take the easy route to his triumph, but as his red and white Edge 540 rotated crisply through a wine-glass victory roll and headed off into the deep blue Mediterranean sky, he probably felt the better for it.
Bonhomme won the Barcelona Red Bull Air Race. He won half the races this year and came second in the other half. It was the right and proper way to conclude affairs – but an hour earlier he would cheerfully have settled for the third place finish he needed.
Before the final proper, the wildcard round saw Yoshi Muroya and Pete McLeod admitted to the Top 12. McLeod with his old, slow and heavy aircraft did what he usually does: flying precisely; not making any mistakes; wildly hoping the competition made a mess of things. Today he was rewarded. Muroya meanwhile, flew his best run ever. His time of 1.23.21 would have graced the Final Four.
Neither would repeat their times in the Top Twelve. Muroya slipped back two seconds but did enough to proceed, while Pete hit Gate Three and was eliminated. Those particular pylons, part of the Quadro, were problematic all day with no less than ten penalties recorded. Also eliminated with McLeod were Budapest winner Mike Goulian, local favourite Alejandro MacLean and Matt Hall. Hall, third in the championship was the surprise faller, but his ninth place was enough to ensure he retained his championship ranking.
But no-one was looking at Hall. Paul Bonhomme was the talking point. The Championship leader squeaked through in seventh position; flying clean, but by his standards very slowly. Paul doesn't do seventh. Had the pressure got to the Briton?
The Super 8 began with Muroya, enjoying his first outing at those rarefied heights. His time of 1:24.82 was solid, if unspectacular. Crucially it was error-free, putting him in with a shot of going even further. Kirby Chambliss went next and beat him, despite a penalty at the Gate 3 Quadro. Peter Besenyei also fell foul of that gate too, but Nigel Lamb did not; the Team Breitling pilot going fastest and anticipating his first visit to the Final Four since Abu Dhabi many months ago. Matthias Dolderer went next, collected his penalty at Gate 3 – which by now was getting a bit old – and slotted in just behind Lamb. Then Bonhomme finally discovered his form, blowing everyone away without ever looking troubled. Nicolas Ivanoff got Gate 3 wrong and was out.
Then came Hannes Arch. With Bonhomme safely through, if Arch failed to beat Chamliss's 1:24.63 the World Championship battle would end on a rather dull note. It did not look promising when Arch joined the unhappy band of Gate 3 miscreants, but somehow the reigning World Champion did enough to go through. His time of 1:24.30 kept his hopes alive by the small matter of three tenths of a second.
The Final Four would fly in the order Lamb, Dolderer, Bonhomme, Arch. All four pilots depart the airfield at the same time and only have contact with the race director – who keeps the fliers isolated from any timing information. The result is a no holds barred shoot-out. Lamb flew clean, cocky almost; an aviator quite different to the one who went through the mill in Windsor and Budapest. Dolderer in his first Final Four was out of the running almost before he began. Gate Three did it's work again. His final time was 1:24.32, a second down on Lamb. Bonhomme came next. He wouldn't know the earlier times but for the million-plus spectators his job was simply to go faster than Dolderer. Do that and the title was his irrespective of whatever Arch achieved.
The thing about Bonhomme flying well is that he simply looks better than anyone else in the air. His aircraft control is more precise; he appears to have more time to manoeuvre. Earlier in the day that hadn't been evident; now it was. With Lamb's time to beat, Bonhomme negotiated Gate 3. He was 0.33 up at the first interval; 0.54 up at the second; .93 at the third, and crossed the line 0.97 seconds clear. The title was his. Officially he didn't know it – but he probably did.
'On my first run I think I was pretty close to just about every gate'
Arch was unaware that he was flying for the race and not the championship. He came in hard, low and fast – and then flew straight into the Gate Three pylon. Game over. He would be classified fourth. Dolderer was on the podium for the first time; Lamb had a welcome return to form – but the day, and the year, belonged to Number 55 Paul Bonhomme.
Arch was magnanimous in defeat, the first man across to congratulate his rival. "I'm happy for Paul this afternoon," said the Austrian. "It's been a great fight all year. I'm second in the World Championship and I don't feel any reason to be disappointed."
"On my first run I think I was pretty close to just about every gate," said a champagne-drenched and newly-crowned Paul Bonhomme. "I was planning on flying a steady run in the Top 12, but not quite that steady. It's been hilarious, with hindsight, listening to myself and Hannes over the last couple of weeks, each claiming the pressure was on the other guy. The truth is that pressure was enormous on both of us, and I'm a very, very relieved man tonight."
