Residents of a Beaufort neighborhood were evacuated from their homes early this morning after police noticed an ammonia leak.
An officer on patrol noticed the very strong odor of ammonia as he left the police department around 1:40 a.m.
They discovered the ammonia was leaking from Beaufort Ice Company on Broad Street and after the fire department took a reading it was determined the ammonia level was at a dangerous level.
Homes within 100 yards of the leak were evacuated. Police say that impacted 20 to 30 people.
The owner of the ice business was contacted and was able to shut down their system and stop the leak.
Residents were allowed to return to their homes about an hour later.

Big Agnes Wolf Mountain Tent: 4-Person 3-SeasonView Larger Image
- Detail Images
- Community Images
Turning a parkway pull-off into a sheltered paradise, the four-person, three-season Big Agnes Wolf Mountain Tent provides a roomy shelter for a climbing base camp or cross-country camping extravaganza. Offering plenty of room for the family, festival crew, or couple and their rowdy pets, this free-standing tent includes a rain-shedding fly, which forms two vestibules outside the two opposite doors.
- Polyurethane-coated floor and fly help rain bead off instead of soaking you and your gear inside
- Floor and fly seams are taped without using solvents (PVC or VOC) for a cleaner environment
- All Big Agnes tents feature poles made with DAC's Green Anodizing process, which eliminates the chemical polishing stage, reduces the need for hazardous chemicals, and recycles water throughout the rinsing process
- Symmetrical design with DAC aluminum poles, press-fit connectors, hubs, and clips are easy to assemble day or night, rain or shine
- Breathable mesh and ripstop polyester walls fight condensation, and reflective guy lines prevent injuries at night
- Fast Fly pitching option lets you carry just the poles, fly, and footprint (sold separately) for a lighter weight (9lb 4oz) package suitable for mild climates
- Vestibules can be zipped shut at night or during showers, but entry flaps also roll up to use the space as a shaded area
- Mesh storage pockets hold your headlamp and a map after you and your companion finish planning the next day's driving or show schedule
- Carry bag includes a handle and shoulder strap for short treks to the campsite

Been in bed since Thursday night with some of the worst food poisoning I've had in years. Finally getting better so I decided to use one of my graphic fever dreams for this week's DP Challenge…
Fever dreams
The room is thick with a terracotta dust that never leaves, only twists and rises in the low, orange sun before settling back down in a gentle ballet.
Right now, as you scrabble and snatch at anything you can reach – books with tattered covers, t-shirts, sanitary towels from your underwear drawer – shoving it all into a canvas bag, choosing and not choosing what to take and leave, there's no time for settling.
The dust streams upwards in the light from the window as a sick weight crawls up the back of your legs and climbs into your belly from behind – a freezing mass that will cling to your spine and keep you cold inside now, even on the hottest days.
The sun is tumbling slowly toward the horizon – just more dust, as far as you can see – and as the hollow twitter of a bird sounds in the bare branches outside, you thrill with fear, knowing that you need to go now but that it's already too late.
And then it tips, that huge and heavy sun, over the horizon and it's dark and too hot, and you're awake, maybe half-awake, tangled in a heavy fleece blanket, the back of your neck soaked with sweat and your stomach tight with dark red knots.

Twenty-seven Louisiana Tech student-athletes from 13 different sports gathered in the Waggonner Room of the Thomas Assembly Center on Friday morning to take part in the athletic department's 2014 Stole Ceremony, which honored spring Bulldog and Lady Techster graduates.
Louisiana Tech President Les Guice , Athletic Director Tommy McClelland and Assistant Athletic Director of Academics Reggie Simpkins joined additional athletics department staff, coaches and family members in congratulating the student-athletes and awarding each of them an honorary stole on the eve of Tech's spring commencement exercises.
"Today was a great day for Louisiana Tech Athletics and our student-athletes as we continue our mission in becoming champions in the classroom, on the field and in life," McClelland said. "It was a great day to celebrate these young people and their accomplishments. We are so appreciative of how they have represented us during their time at Louisiana Tech, and we wish them the best of luck in their futures."
The Bulldog football team led the way on Friday with a total of eight players set to receive their degrees from LA Tech on Saturday: Scott Cathcart, Connor Nichols, Michael Schrang, Andre Taylor, Ronnie Fields, Matthew Shepperd, Jon Greenwalt and Shakeil Lucas.
LA Tech's Track & Field squads had four graduates on both the men's and women's sides as Mary Kate Hays, Aldresha Bailey, Kim Francis, Taneka Henderson, Taylor Ashton, Trey Hadnot, Yusef Muhammad and Matthew Wolfe were all honored.
After wrapping up their 2014 season last week, Bulldog baseball senior Taylor Burch and junior Jacob Derouen were both on hand for the ceremony, as both players will receive their undergraduate degree from Louisiana Tech during the commencement exercises on Saturday.
The men's basketball and golf teams each had two participants each on Friday as Jack Lempke and Travis Wilmore represented the Bulldog golfers, while Stojan Gjuroski and Kenyon McNeail represented the Bulldog basketball team.
LA Tech also had members of its softball, volleyball, tennis, soccer and women's basketball teams honored throughout the Stole Ceremony. Those participants included Katelynn Hill (Softball), Caitlin Germany (Volleyball), Melanie Urvoy (Tennis), Caitlin Updyke (Soccer) and Brittney Jefferson (Women's Basketball).

Four Poster & Superior Bedrooms
Sumptuously Decorated, Boasting Romantic Charm
We have seven sumptuously decorated Four Poster bedrooms and two Superior bedrooms for you to choose from.
All our Four Poster & Superior bedrooms offer comfort and space, along with superb views of the rolling countryside. All but one of these rooms are located on the first floor and enjoys towering high ceilings
1. The Rowton Suite
This magnificent Georgian Gothic room is the most imposing bedroom our hotel has to offer, and is usually given to our honeymooning couples. Overlooking the front lawns, it has a majestic four-poster bed, and a massive Jacobean fireplace, which pre-dates the room, and is carved with dragons which are rumoured to bring good fortune to all who stay there.
2. The Cedar Room
A spacious traditional room, it has a simple Arts and Crafts four-poster bed and an atmosphere of calm. From the window is the best view of our ancient cedar tree for which it is named.
3. The Melverly Room
This small double room is a little jewel with black velvet and orange silk hangings. From the cushioned window seat, you will see the gardens, the turret wall and the Linden Belvedere.
4. The Alberbury Suite
Light and elegant, we think this room was once the bed-chamber of Lady Caroline Lyster. It has a canopied four-poster bed, a sparkling crystal chandelier, and is decorated in shades of cream and deep rose. From the tall sash windows there are the most perfect views of the whole garden and lime Tree Avenue.
5. The Avenue Room
Here we have a pretty twin room with an unusual collection of furniture from the nineteen thirties. As its' name suggests, the lime avenue is visible from the windows.
6. The Baldwin Room
Another quiet spacious room, the Baldwin is made elegant by its' superb French bed which is skilfully carved with roses, and which dictates the simple Francophile theme of the decorating.
7. The Oak Room
This charming room sits in one of the castle turrets, which makes it an interesting shape. It's a favourite with our guests who love the heavy oak carved four-posted bed with its' cream fur quilt, giving all a slight mood of medieval splendour.
8. The Yockleton Room
In this very traditional room, the great oak carved four-poster bed stands in its' own alcove, perhaps remembering the draughts of ages past. Now of course it's warm and comfortable with red hangings and low lighting. It overlooks the gardens.
9. The Leighton Suite
Grand and traditional, this room with its' huge four-poster bed has gravitas aplenty. The fabrics here are magnificent, in dark red silk damasks and shimmering golds, and the chandelier is a glowing basket of richly painted metal flowers.

I know this is old news -- I'm catching up from being out of town for almost a week. But did anyone else notice on August 9 the TPs article titled, "NO man arrested after chase."
In reading the article you learn that it was a TP photographer who threatned police in an effort to get police to shoot him because I guess he was too chicken to commit suicide.
My point is -- not to get away from that -- is that the Times-Picayune did not expose themselves like they would have others. E.g. "Catholic School teacher arrested after chase." "Shell employee arrested after chase."
If they wanted to be fair in the way they treat stories, the headline should have read, "TP photographer arrested after chase."

Nearly 7,000 folks ran the Missoula Marathon this year and you can imagine how much work goes into making it all run smoothly.
Sunday afternoon NBC Montana met with race volunteers and the folks behind the scenes to find out what they're doing to help.
We talked to Missoula resident Jennifer Benton who tells us for the last 5 years she and her neighbors have come out to spray runners.
"It's a nice little tradition to help folks out, especially as it warms up it's a nice thing to cool down a bit," said Benton while spraying passerby's with a garden hose. "It's amazing how participants in an event like this really appreciate folks being out here and just that little extra pick-me-up toward the end."
Missoula resident Kelly Sedgwick-Read tells us she couldn't run the marathon this year because of an injury but she's still happy to come out and cheer for all the runners.
"When you get to the last couple of miles your head starts to spin and you really just need somebody to tell you to keep going," said Sedgwick-Read. "I wish I could do the half again but I don't see that in the future for me so now I'm just going to be on the sidelines cheering them on."
Race volunteer coordinators tell NBC Montana over 900 people came out Sunday to help make the marathon possible.
Missoula resident Margie Menendez volunteers every year but tells us it's her first year running as a pacer.
"Were basically like a moving clock so we just keep at a steady pace so that everybody will get in just on time if they stick with us," said Menendez.
Mendendez says her favorite part of volunteering is getting to meet new folks and encouraging them to finish the race.
"I just love talking to them about our great city and the marathon and sharing in their excitement when they finish is really, really awesome," she said.
"Friends go by, strangers go by and everybody is having a good time in Missoula and that's really awesome," said Benton.
Race coordinators want to thank everyone who came out to help make the Missoula Marathon possible.
And when we were on the course Sunday we heard runners thanking volunteers for coming out as well.

Save over $1000 every year on computer repair and maintenance costs.
What do you do when your Windows computer is driving you insane with error messages, crashes, and slow speeds? Most people would head back to the major electronics retailer or to a computer repair shop, much like you would take a car or truck to the auto garage, and wind up paying hundreds of dollars in premiums that no one can afford.
Even the experts will frequently experience problems with their computers freezing or crashing, that is just the way things work. Advanced Registry Optimizer was designed not only for the most sophisticated user, but the causal user who may not know too much about technology.
Programs like Advanced Registry Optimizer help you avoid costly and time consuming "repairs" by bypassing the tech specialists all together. You can read the Advance Registry Optimizer review below, but we recommend Registry Booster 2011.
Despite the rumors of an Advanced Registry Optimizer scam, I decided to give it a test run. ARO is pleasantly easy to use, and even includes a quick-glance meter to monitor your PC's performance, so you can see that your computer is reaching its full potential with your own two eyes.
The final verdict on Advance Registry Optimizer is that it is NOT A SCAM. It's actually a simple and very effective tool, but more on that in the ARO 2011 review below. We still recommend Registry Booster over any other product.
ARO 2011 offers great flexibility with the option to manually (and safely) make changes to the Window registry. Or you can take advantage of their automated tools and scheduler to keep your PC running at peak performance, 100% hands-free.
This software was designed specifically to perform on its own, avoiding the confusion of the user who may not know much about computers. Just because you don't have to pick up your phone for support doesn't necessarily mean that you're not achieving the most possible performance from this software.
With that being said ARO will not only repair mistakes to the registry of your computer, it will save your time and money. That's correct! With the software provided you will not only be saving your hard earned money, but you will also preserve the life of your computer.
The Advanced Registry Optimizer interface certainly isn't pretty, but it gets the job done, and is easy to navigate. As usual, it's what is under the hood that really matters, and this is where ARO excels. Advanced Registry Optimizer quickly and safely modifies your computer's registry and other core functions.
In just a couple of clicks you can optimize your registry, system settings, CPU, and core operating system functions. This will instantly improve PC performance, speeds, and start-up times, and you can scan your entire system 100% free.
The full version of ARO 2011 will run you $29.95, which is a small price to pay, especially in comparison to hiring so-called specialists that charge $75+ an hour. That being said, you can get the same features for much less from the likes of Registry Booster.

Fast fall action is hereFrom the September 30, 2009 Issue
Captain Rick Grassett holds a little tunny
that took a top water popper in Tampa Bay.
Anglers get a glimpse of the changing season when schools of predatory fish begin to gather around the local passes as fall approaches. The weather might be saying summer, but fall is definitely in the air and out on the local waters. Last week, I had the pleasure of experiencing some fast and furious action with my friend and Sarasota guide Captain Rick Grassett.
We launched Grassett's 18 foot Action Craft flats boat at the Kingfish Ramp on Manatee Avenue about 10 in the morning and headed north in the general direction of the Tampa Bay ship channel. The tide was just starting to come in when we first surveyed the waters. At first we saw little action except for a few terns apparently expecting something to happen as the tide picked up steam. Experienced anglers know they can count on these savvy seabirds, and about a half hour later we began to see the birds gather over baitfish that were being driven to the surface by schools of ravenous little tunny (bonito) and Spanish mackerel. Schools of bait and feeding fish would blow up on the surface, like some giant egg beater held too close to the surface of a bowl of whipped cream. The challenge was to get close enough to the school to fire a top water popper into the melee before they sounded and moved another 100 yards away. At the height of the action, we counted over a dozen schools feeding on the surface. Unfortunately, none of them were within casting distance.
There are two ways to approach this problem. Either you can get in the vicinity of birds scanning the water and just wait, or run at top speed (cowboying) to the feeding action, hoping the engine doesn't cause the fish to sound. After trying the former for a few minutes with no luck, we charged the closest schools, cutting the engine so that we could coast close without spooking the fish. It took a few tries, but soon we were able to throw top water poppers into the middle of the action and watch as numerous fish vied to inhale the fly.
While many offshore anglers shun bonito, fly anglers crave their smashing strikes and mind boggling first and second runs. It's not uncommon for a little tunny to run close to 100 yards into the backing of an eight-weight outfit. That's just what happened to Grassett and me during the next three hours as we chased and connected with little tunny and Spanish mackerel. At the end of the day we counted 8 to 10 little tunas and close to a dozen mackerel, which had been brought to the boat and released. We had at least twice that number of strikes and pulled hooks before we decided to head back to the ramp with the fish still biting.
During the next three months, I predict we'll see some of the best Spanish mackerel and little tunny fishing we've had in a long time. I think that will be the same for kingfish and cobia as well. Now is the time to get rigged and ready when the opportunity shows up on your gunnels.
Rig light, whether you are fishing with standard or fly tackle. Start with monofilament leader and long shank hooks before switching to wire, and definitely use top water plugs and flies. You'll be impressed and hooked once you've experienced the fast fall action on little tunny and Spanish mackerel.

Researchers Are Developing Ways to Edit...
Understanding New 21st Century Institutional Designs...
To Know Where Biosimilars Are Going,...
Which Countries Are the East's Most...
Scripps Research Institute scientists report that a naturally occurring peptide, defensins, known for its antibacterial action can also inhibit viral infection. They say that two forms of human a-defensins, expressed in epithelial cells of the small intestine, the female genitourinary tract, and air passages, had potent antiadenoviral activity in cell culture.
When added at the beginning of a 60-minute viral incubation period, defensins achieved 96% adenovirus inhibition at very low concentrations, the investigators explain. At higher doses, defensins reportedly stopped virtually all viral infection activity.
The Scripps team says that the defensins blocked infection by binding to and stabilizing the virus capsid and preventing partial uncoating of the virus, which marks the start of the infection process. "Defensins inhibit the release of an internal viral protein called pVI, which is required for endosomal membrane penetration during cell entry," says Jason Smith, Ph.D., first author of the study. "This results in an accumulation of infectious virions in intracellular endosomes and lysosomes, where they are eventually destroyed. This is the first time this mechanism has been identified."
The study will be published in the January 17 edition of Cell Host & Microbe.

What Now?
It finally came out. The sexual sins were discovered. The secrets have been revealed. The damage has begun rippling out like the shockwaves of a nuclear blast, ripping apart the hearts of people who genuinely love — or at least once loved — you.
You have gone from self-loathing to panic to shame and back to self-loathing. Part of you wants to lash out and give reasons for what you did, but deep inside you know that they come across as lame excuses. You've thrown things. You've cried. Now you are numb.
How do you pick up the pieces?
How do you apologize and ask for forgiveness?
How do you help ease the hurt in those you care about and you have wounded?
What now?
First the hard news — yes, stick with them, there is liberating news coming, but first, here are some hard truths for this kind of situation:
- We must give up trying to spin our side of the story: it doesn't work and if it does, it makes the cracks down deep in our character bigger and harder to heal.
- We must be honest with God about where we are and how we feel — we're not necessarily talking about confession and forgiveness yet, we may not be to this point yet and really mean it, but we are talking about being transparent and open with God again, the ultimate key to reclaiming our walk with the Father.
- We must recognize that we are powerless to control consequences — we can't control them for us or for any of those we love.
- We must walk with Jesus, especially in His story in each of the four Gospels — Matthew, Mark, Luke and John — and listen for what the Lord would tell us by seeing how the Savior would treat us and what the Savior would have us do by seeing how He dealt with people like us.
- When we can honestly and genuinely confess our sin, we confess it honestly and tie it with a commitment to repent (change our thinking, our heart, and our behaviors to align with God).
- When we can confess our sin honestly, and without bringing them further pain to people we've already hurt, we must penitently apologize to those we've wronged and hurt by our sin.
- Finally, we must trust that what the Lord promises us and says about us and who we are — see the liberating truth below.
Now I could put Scripture references with each of these points, but we would all be much better served doing number 4 above ourselves and journaling what Jesus is telling us personally each day as we read His story, watching and listening to the Savior live out God's righteous character and gracious compassion in human skin.
But, here is one truth — the liberating truth — that we must all hear and believe and know is true. Let's read it from Scripture first, then put it into a simple statement to hang onto:
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:5-9 NIV).
We have sometimes understood "walking in the light" to mean living a good life and honoring Jesus. While it is true that we should try to live a good life and honor Jesus, "walking in the light" probably means coming to the light to have the truth of our lives revealed before God — which is what someone who loves God is going to do (see John 3:16-21). And when we do that, when we come to God and have who are we fully revealed in the light of His holy presence, we are going to confess the sin we see in ourselves — confess our shortcomings, our rebellions, our moral failures, our secret transgressions, the places we have missed the mark with our lives. And by confess, we mean that we confess those sins to God and to spiritual folks who can hold us accountable and also include us back into fellowship and restore us to ministry and life in God's family. (Confession was never meant to be something we did just between ourselves and God. See James 5:16 for an example of this principle.)
Which brings us to the incredible and life-redeeming truth in the middle of our personal tsunami:
When we genuinely confess and turn back to God, the Father doesn't just forgive us, He purifies us!
We can't control consequences. We can't control outcomes. We can't undo our messes. We can't turn back the clock and make things not have happened. But God can do this: God can make us clean, fresh, and pure. Don't believe me, go back and read 1 John 1:5-9 again. Or go read Psalm 51 and then follow it by Psalm 103.
So once we realize that we are not only forgiven, but also purified of all unrighteousness, what do we do?
Every circumstance is different. The consequences and fall-out for sin are different in every situation. But, here are a few things we learn from Jesus — and again, we each should answer this by making our own fuller list of things to do by doing #4 above.
- Go and live in peace — enter into a life lived in God's blessing (Read Luke 7).
- Leave our life of sin — get help, support, encouragement, accountability, whatever necessary, to get away from the addictive draw of a sinful lifestyle (Read John 8).
- Love God out of appreciation for the grace we have received — (Read Luke 7 again).
- Minister and strengthen others — (Read John 21).
In other words, let's believe the truth that God promises: we can be forgiven and cleansed of all unrighteousness.
And what about the rest of us, the people of God, the folks who are supposed to be the church of Jesus? What do we do with the sinner who has confessed and is seeking to turn his or her life back to God after having made a mess of things?
We begin by believing what God says about folks like this: He has forgiven and cleansed them! So we welcome them back into God's family, or go in search of them and bring them back if they are afraid to come back , or lovingly confront them and pull them back from sin if they are having a hard time pulling away. The goal is always to restore them to fellowship. And if we need some examples, try these:
- What Jesus did with Peter in John 21:1-22.
- What Paul tells the church to do with repentant sinners in 2 Corinthians 2:7-8 and Galatians 6:1-2.
- What James reminds us to with those who have wandered away at the close of his letter in James 5:19-20.
- What Jesus teaches us about finding the wanderer, restoring the lost, and reclaiming the sinful in Matthew 18.
Oh, and one other thing. A huge thing. A largely forgotten thing. Let's make sure that those who have their lives blown apart by the sin of someone they love receive our love, support, care, and protection. Too often, in the name of not playing favorites, when couples and families and friends have their lives blown apart by the sin of someone they love, we end up dropping both the "guilty person" and the "wounded people" because we are not sure what the full truth is and who deserves the blame. But God isn't concerned about blame: God is concerned about restoration, healing, love, forgiveness, protection, and reclamation. So when sin blows people apart, let's follow the example of Jesus — let's leave the comfort of our religious house and go in search of those who need to be brought back into the family of God.
Jude, the brother of Jesus, ends his very short note of warning with these words:
Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear — hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.
To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy — to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

Shopkeeper takes on gunmen
Published 11/04/2012 | 08:49
HAVE-A-G0 shop owner, Malachy Mcgrane took on two masked men who threatened to kill him during a robbery at his Excel store in Sandpit on Monday night.
During a struggle, the 49-yearold businessman fell on one of the thugs, narrowly avoiding being stabbed with the butcher's knife he was brandishing.
'Now in hindsight, I know I am lucky to be alive. I could have been killed when I fell on top of him or when they were jabbing the knife, which was between six and eight inches long, at me.'
The shop owner's drama started at 8.15 p.m. on Easter Monday just before he locked up the rural convenience store.
'I was in the back store for about 30 seconds, they came in and cornered me against the wall.'
The thugs who wore homemade balaclavas were shouting: 'Open the till' and threatening Malachy, who also owns a shop on the Beamore Road.
'I fought back, even though I only had a piece of cardboard in my hand. It's a natural reaction.'
The pair ran off when Malachy started to struggle and he ran after them although he lost them before they got to their getaway car which was parked down a side road. He didn't see the car or get a note of the registration plates.
'I think I frightened them more than they frightened me when I started to fight back,' he said. 'And then I hightailed it after them, although they were younger and fitter and got away from me.'
Both men had their faces and heads covered and were between 5ft 4' and 5ft 9' in height. Neither of them had local accents.
Malachy Mcgrane is full of praise for the gardaí who were on the scene within seven minutes of the incident happening.
This is not the first time that there has been an attempted robbery at the Sandpit shop which he opened in 2004. His convenience store on the Beamore Road has also been robbed a number of times over the years. He now plans to install even more security equipment at both premises.

@Dimitros: Beating Ferrari in F1 will be a big task indeed, specially starting fom scratch. But their sport and road cars are at least as good, if not better, than Ferrari's.
In many classs they outperform them on track, and in testing their roadcars many times too. Not to mention the quality of how they are built...but that is not the issue here.

Here is an amusing collision of two fantastic new series with coincidentally similar titles--Netflix's "Orange is the New Black" and BBC America's "Orphan Black" have become "Orphan is the New Black."
Both of these new shows also share female-centric themes and atypical roles for women in television. In Netflix's series, a preppy Brooklyn resident leaves her chic soap-making company to serve time in a penitentiary, paying penance for a crime she committed ten years earlier. The half-grueling, half-hilarious series uses its thirteen episode arc to focus on a different prisoner's back-story per episode, creating an exceedingly well-rounded ensemble.
In BBC's innovative critics' favorite "Orphan Black," a young woman comes to the realization that she is part of a human cloning experiment (all clones are played by the talented Tatiana Maslany, sadly overlooked by Emmy voters). Both trailers are below, if you need a little refresher. (Our appreciation of Maslany is here.)
This imaginative mash-up imagines Maslany's various clones as different characters from Netflix's new series. The image quality leaves quite a bit to be desired, but the character matching is amusing.

June 2009 Close to 3,000 Diamond Bar homes are now equipped with the latest in communications technology, and Verizon anticipates adding at least 1,000 more to that figure by the end of this summer.
Verizon technicians are now working in a zone bounded by city limits to the north, Diamond Bar Boulevard to the east, Freeway 60 to the south and city limits to the west.
Project Description: Verizon Communications will begin construction work in Diamond Bar to extend its Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) technology. It will involve installation of new underground conduits, above-ground hub cabinets, and street resurfacing for open-cut trenched areas.
Example of street patchwork subsequent to underground installation of fiber optic lines. Location: Chino Hills (Butterfield Ranch Area)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is FTTP?FTTP is the next-generation broadband network that can deliver telephone, high-bandwidth internet, and TV services at speeds faster than what is provided by conventional coaxial cable or phone lines (DSL).
Who is responsible for this project?Verizon owns, operates, and maintains the project. Conditions will be imposed upon Verizon such that all work must meet City requisites regarding schedule, street restoration, public notification, a nd timeliness of repairs.
When will the construction occur?Construction will progress in stages over three years, beginning in April 2008 and running through December 2010. Work will begin first in the residential area west of the 57 Freeway, north of Pathfinder Road. The project will then transition towards the north end of the City before moving on to the south end of the City by the end of year 2009. In 2010, work will take place in the central part of the city. In addition, you may determine the availability of the FTTP service in your area by going to the following website: http://fios.verizon.com/fios-coverage.html
What hours will the construction crew be working?Construction work will take place on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. No work will be scheduled on holidays or weekends.
How will I be affected by this construction?Much of the construction will take place at curbs or under sidewalks, but in some cases it will also involve work within City right-of-way**. This may require removal or replacement of portions of lawn or landscape, irrigation system, sidewalks and driveway areas. Verizon will fully restore the areas to their original condition within a determined period of time.
How will I be kept informed about the project?Ten days before the work is scheduled...A door hanger will be distributed by Verizon explaining the details of the project.
Two days before work starts…Another door hanger from Verizon will be distributed letting you know that work is set to begin as well as the number to call should you have questions and/or concerns.
During construction…Verizon will post "No Parking" signs 48 hours in advance in areas that need to be accessed for work.
Who can I contact if I experience problems during the construction phase?You may contact Verizon Representative Michel Guillermina at 909.623.0076 to deal with any construction-related problems or concerns that may arise.
How do I find out if the Verizon FiOS service is available in my area? To check if the FiOS service is available in your area, call Verizon's Customer Service Michel Guillermina at 909.623.0076 or visit Verizon's website at http://fios.verizon.com/fios-coverage.html .

Which is clumsy Brit slang for San Francisco...sort of works if you say it real fast. I'm a neighborhood fixture: I buy bikes for all my friends, acquaintances, enemies and strangers and fix them all up for practically nothing. You'd think that I'd be popular, but no, I'm just too much of a crank. And an unsufferable know-it-all...but that's where you will put me in my place: I'm sure to meet my match and then some in the field of bike trivia and real important stuff! Currently I own (and sometimes even ride) a Ciocc (where is the umlaut on this &**^% keyboard?), a 3Rensho, a Holdsworth and another Holdsworth. I also have a "big box of bike parts" you might call a "room"...but there's no "room" in that room.

Feel bad for JB who didn't even get the chance to put in a legit qualifying lap. Doesn't bode well for the guy. More bad luck.
Also, Alonso looking good. Don't know about Hamilton. One lap pace obviously there. No idea on the long runs. Ferrari and Red Bull look quick. Watch out for the Iceman, the Kimster. He looks good too.

Bilson's sex scene nervesRachel Bilson wanted to get drunk before shooting sex scenes for her new movie.
'The O.C.' star was so worried about her love scenes with Zach Braff in their film 'The Last Kiss' she considered downing a few beers to ease her nerves.
She revealed: "Zach and I did have one sex scene. I was so nervous. It was such a weird situation because even though it's a closed set there are still about ten people in the room with you.
"I felt uncomfortable, and even though I'm covered up there are definitely clothes being removed.
"I thought about having a beer beforehand just to settle me down a little bit, but then you don't want to be drunk because that probably wouldn't be good either."
Bilson, who is dating her 'The O.C.' co-star Adam Brody, confessed she blushed when she first read the racy script.
She said: "Nudity's always a consideration when you're reading a script and when I got to the bit where it said, 'He takes down her panties', I kind of blushed. But it's all beautifully done. It's not like I'm flashing my privates all over the place."

Take a look at your guarantor agreement and see if it first requires demand on the borrower before you can make demand on the guarantors. Most of the times, once there is default, you can make demand upon the guarantors and the borrower at the same time.
Otherwise, you can make a new demand for payment. No need to rescind the old one. Just make the new one and if the borrower does not pay within the time identified in your demand then you can make a demand on the guarantors. Then you can file suit against both, if they still do not pay.

It's official: The Port's new headquarters building at Portland International Airport has received LEED® Platinum certification. Established by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and verified by the Green Building Certification Institute, LEED is the nation's preeminent program for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings.
For Port staff working in the building over the past year, the award reconfirms what we experience everyday: that green buildings are great places to work. Port executive director Bill Wyatt, who occupies an open workspace the same size as the employees he oversees, said, "The LEED platinum certification affirms the goal we set out at the beginning of the project: that the building reflect this region's commitment to sustainability."
The 205,000-square foot office building incorporates many state-of-the-art green technologies, but the one we are asked about the most is the Living Machine® system, an on-site ecological wastewater treatment alternative that treats 100 percent of the building's wastewater for reuse in the building's toilets and cooling tower. If you've ever visited the Port building, you've walked right by it: it's the innocuous-looking planter in the first-floor lobby.
Underneath the building, more than 200 pipes provide ground source heating and cooling in a closed loop system, serving the passive radiant ceiling panel heating and cooling inside. This is the first coupling of these heating and cooling systems in the United States, and the result is a comfortable temperature year-round.
Other green features—daylighting, window glazing, exterior shading, water-efficient fixtures, and two green roofs—are detailed on the Port's HQ website, where you can take a virtual tour!

This morning started out with the heartening surprise of winning a City of Portland BEST Award, and then the surprises continued with an unusual guest at Portland International Airport. This brand new Boeing 777-200ER took off today around 10:30, and thanks to the open workspaces and emphasis on natural light for employees, I was able to snap a quick photo.

The Port of Portland was thrilled to receive the Green Building Award at the City of Portland's 19th annual Businesses for an Environmentally Sustainable Tomorrow (BEST) Awards Breakfast. The awards were presented by the BEST Business Center and City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability.
The BEST Awards recognize organizations demonstrating a commitment to excellence in sustainable business practices. The Port was in fine company: other winners included the Portland Trail Blazers/Rose Quarter, Coffee Bean International, DeSantis Landscapes, Barbur Storage, Doubletree Hotel, and B-Line Sustainable Urban Delivery.
The Port's award recognized the green building techniques that went into our new headquarters building. Mayor Sam Adams cited the building's water and energy conservation measures, including the Living Machine Wastewater Treatment System. Greg Sparks, engineering project development manager with the Port, thanked the crowd for the recognition and noted that the building couldn't have been built without the support and vision of countless people, from Port leadership to talented firms to the hundreds of employees who show up for work each day at the building.

"Once we combine the most significant behavioral modes we are able to control the robot such that, from the wearer's perspective, it behaves like an extension of his own body," says Baldin Llorens-Bonilla, a researcher at the d'Arbeloff Laboratory at MIT.
In addition to these extra shoulder arms, other researchers at the d'Arbeloff Lab, led by Professor Harry Asada, are constructing waist arms that can be used for holding objects as well as for bracing the user, much like an extra pair of legs.
Much of this research was sponsored by Boeing, which is interested in finding ways to keep its aging human workforce of aircraft builders from getting injured by repeatedly lifting heavy things, stooping, or crouching repeatedly over long periods of time. The waist-mounted SRLs can be used as two extra arms, two extra legs, or one of each, if that's what would work best.
So why not just go straight to a full-body exoskeleton instead of just additional arms? The researchers say that the constraint of an exoskeleton is that by definition it's bound to the body of the user: no matter what the most advantageous orientation for your limbs might be, the exoskeleton is putting all of its force wherever you decide to put your arms and legs. Having limbs that are powered yet completely separate gives the system many more option for helping you out.
And of course, it's the best way to improve your ski-boxing.
"A Robot on the Shoulder: Coordinated Human-Wearable Robot Control using Colored Petri Nets and Partial Least Squares Predictions," by Baldin Llorens-Bonilla and H. Harry Asada from MIT, was presented at ICRA 2014 in Hong Kong. Additional papers presented on this topic presented at ICRA include "Bracing the Human Body with Supernumerary Robotic Limbs for Physical Assistance and Load Reduction," by Federico Parietti, Kameron Chan, and H. Harry Asada, and "Supernumerary Robotic Limbs for Aircraft Fuselage Assembly: Body Stabilization and Guidance by Bracing," by Federico Parietti and H. Harry Asada.

Self-publishing (sometimes called Private Publishing ) is a term that covers a number of closely-related business models in which you, the author, pay to have your work published. Our model is based on us providing a number of services by which your manuscript gets turned into a viable book (either a physical book or an e-book). These services range from preparing the manuscript for publication and assigning an ISBN, through preparing artwork for the cover, generating publication files to be sent to the printer or e-book retailer, facilitating printing, and helping you with marketing and distribution as required. You choose which of these services you want to make use of, and pay us a fixed cost up front for providing them. You receive the physical copies of the book (unless you want us to provide distribution services) and receive all the money for selling each copy. You are responsible for marketing and selling your book, although we can help with this (as one of our services) if required. You retain all rights to the title. Some people describe this type of service as "packaging", a description we are quite comfortable with.
Getting published by a traditional publisher is very tough, and getting tougher. Most established authors will tell you that getting their first book published was a triumph of persistance or a matter of luck. Publishers and agents are deluged with manuscripts and do not have the resources to critically assess all of them. As an author, you are more likely to experience the frustration of a stock rejection letter than the pleasure of a critical appraisal of your work - whether it goes into print or not. This does not mean that your work is without merit. We have all read published books, sometimes from established authors, and thought "Wow! I could do better..." and some of us have spent years trying to do just that - only to be met with the dreaded rejection slip. But what if you have genuine talent? How can you get past the initial barriers put up by the publishing companies? How can you demonstrate to a major publisher or agent that you have the skill and determination to succeed in a highly competitive market place? Self-publishing is a practical approach. By getting your book into the hands of readers, you will get feedback from the people that matters - the readers - and start to build up a track record to show that you mean business.
That depends on what you consider a fortune to be! We think our cost structure is highly reasonable. A recent project for a manuscript which required very little editing cost about £400.00 for pagination, cover design and ISBN registration (printing 400 softback copies added another £1200.00 to the final total for this project). If you have spent a year working full-time on a manuscript, you would have given up considerably more than that in potential income from other sources, so by comparison this is a tiny amount to get your labour of love out where it belongs. And of course if you opt for e-book publication, there is no cost for "printing" at all. Please note that the exact cost of our services will vary from project to project, depending on what you require us to do - please contact us for a quotation.
You can if you want! But it's quite a lot of effort to do properly, especially for the first time, and you need to ask yourself if it's a good use of your time. We do this every day, and have the skills and experience to produce books quickly, efficiently, and to a professional standard. It's entirely up to you whether you want to spend time getting your book into production, or writing your next title.
You don't necessarily have to print any at all - your book could be published as an e-book. In fact we would advise all aspiring authors to consider e-book publication as much as possible in the first instance to simplify storage and distribution issues. But there's nothing quite like the feel of a newly printed book, and it is really satisfying to see all your hard work in tangible form. How many you print is up to you; but we suggest you shouldn't commit to print any more than you are confident that you can sell, or you require to give away to reviewers, colleagues or friends. We can arrange to have printed as many or as few copies as you need, at the most competitive prices.
Selling printed books requires time and effort - there's no way of getting round that. We can help you, of course, but much of this effort is down to you. You need to consider as many ways as possible of meeting potential readers and taking books with you for direct sales. You should offer your work on your own website (we can help you with that) and plan a marketing campaign with posters and review copies sent to influential reviewers (we can help you with that too). We can also help you to get your book registered on the websites of major bookshop chains - although be warned that they will want a significant commission to put your book on their shelves. In short, we will help you put together a viable sales strategy for your book, but the final effort (and reward) lies with you. Of course, if you opt for e-book publication, you won't have this problem - which is why we encourage new authors to consider e-books first.
You might make none at all. It depends on a lot of things: how good your book is in the eyes of the reader, how effective your marketing is, how much effort you put into your sales promotions, and, frankly, how lucky you are. You might be best advised to think of your first project strictly as a not-for-profit endeavour designed to establish you in the marketplace: that way, if you don't make money, you won't be disappointed; and if you do, it's a nice bonus. Having said that, think of this: suppose you spend £500 on publishing an e-book, and another £500 on printing promotional copies which are sent out to reviewers at newspapers, magazines and websites. Further suppose that you price your e-book attractively and aim to take £1.00 per copy in royalties. That would mean that you would only have to sell 1000 copies to recover your costs. With upwards of 20 million e-book readers in use - a number that is growing every day - that figure is not unreasonable.
For us? Well, we'll look to be paid for the professional services we provide. If you decide to sell your e-book through our e-book store, we'll take a small commission on each sale. But - let's make no bones about it - we do this because we like taking manuscripts and making something beautiful and desirable out of them. We love what we do!
