Long before the streams of Arkansas were spanned by bridges, ferries were the most common way to cross deep water. Many early ferries were privately owned and generally were only large enough to carry one or maybe two vehicles. This 1930s Ouachita River ferry at Camden (Ouachita County) is one of those early small operations. Though most Arkansas ferries have been replaced by bridges, there still remain in the twenty-first century some isolated locations that employ ferry service.

5 to Drive
Parents often worry about their kids' safety, and they have good reason to be concerned when their teen gets behind the wheel. Young, inexperienced drivers are the most crash-prone drivers on the road. In fact, traffic crashes are the number one cause of death for American teenagers.
Talking to your kids about the dangers of driving is one of the best things you can do to keep them safe on the road, but many parents just assume their teens get this information elsewhere, so they don't have the conversation.
October 19-25 is Teen Driver Safety Week, and it's a great time for parents to talk to their teen drivers about the risks they face.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's "5 to Drive" campaign identifies the five most important rules all teen drivers need to follow:
- No Alcohol. Even though the minimum legal drinking age in every state is 21, among 15- to 20-year-old drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2012, 28 percent of the drivers killed had been drinking. And we know that drunk driving crashes are not the only danger to teens when it comes to alcohol, so talk with your teen about the risks of underage drinking. Use our Power of Parents® handbook to help get the conversation started.
- Buckle Up. Every Trip. Every Time. Front Seat and Back. In 2012, of all the young (15- to 20-year-old) passenger vehicle drivers killed in crashes, more than half (55%) of those killed were not wearing seat belts.
- Put It Down. One Text or Call Could Wreck It All. In 2012, among drivers 15 to 19 years old who were distracted in fatal crashes, nearly 1 in 5 were distracted by their phones. This age group had the highest percentage of drivers distracted by phone use.
- Stop Speeding Before It Stops You. In 2012, speeding was a factor in almost half (48%) of the crashes that killed 15- to 20-year-old drivers. By comparison, 30 percent of all fatal crashes that year involved speeding.
- No More Than One Passenger at a Time. Extra passengers for a teen driver can lead to disastrous results. Research shows that the risk of a fatal crash goes up in direct relation to the number of teens in a car. The likelihood of teen drivers engaging in risky behavior triples when traveling with multiple passengers.
Talk to your kids—this week and every week—about how to be smart and safe behind the wheel.
For more information about Teen Driver Safety Week and the "5 to Drive" campaign visit www.safercar.gov/parents.
Teen Alcohol Use Continues to Fall
According to new numbers released by the Department of Health and Human Services, Drug and alcohol use among America's teens continues to decline.
From 2002 to 2013, the rate of regular alcohol use among teens (12 to 17) declined from 17.6 percent to 11.6 percent.
These findings come from the 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH),an annual, nationally-representative survey of roughly 70,000 Americans aged 12 and older.
Despite a common myth that "everybody's doing it," we know that two out of three teens DON'T drink alcohol. And this new report proves it.
We are excited to hear this trend is continuing, especially with Red Ribbon Week just around the corner Find out how you can help reduce the deaths and injuries that come from underage drinking by visiting www.madd.org/redribbonweek to download all of our free Red Ribbon Week resources and learn how you can get involved in your community.
Code Word
by 15 year old Sarah Haiken, a member of MADD's National Teen Influencer Group
My name is Sarah Haiken and I am a 15 year old Junior from New York. While getting back into my school routine, the nerves of being accepted have arrived. I am often anxious that my strict views on underage drinking will cause my peers to make me an outcast. However, I have learned to control this fear by avoiding situations where alcohol may be involved. I do this by having a code word with my parents. Whenever I don't feel comfortable somewhere, I can text or call my parents saying the code word and they know to pick me up. This allows me to blame my parents for not doing something I don't feel comfortable with, and my peers cannot pressure me or make fun of me for it. It's the perfect way for me to get out of a situation without feeling "uncool."
The U.S Widely Opposes Lowering Drinking Age
According to a new poll released by Gallup, 74 percent of Americans are against lowering the drinking age to 18 while only 25 percent would favor it.
Graph from gallup.com
At MADD, we support the 21 Minimum Legal Drinking Age law because it prevents tragedies—decreasing crashes by an estimated sixteen percent and saving more than 25,000 lives. Click here to read more reasons why 21 saves lives.

Do you breastfeed your infant? Did you breastfeed? Breastfeeding once was a very controversial topic. Back in the sixties and seventies when most of us were infants breastfeeding was frowned upon. If you nursed your infant you were considered weird or people thought that you were too poor to buy formula. My mother formula fed all five of us kids. All of her friends did the same thing. Today pediatricians, nutritionists and WIC all recommend that you breastfeed your infant. According to Motherwear's breastfeeding blog, "A study from Germany has found a reduction of 50% in the risk of SIDS for breastfed babies. Past studies have also found a lower SIDS rate among breastfed babies, but the finding was lower - 36% in one study." Below are some more benefits to breastfeeding:
By the time my second child was born in 2006 I was older, married and spent more time with my baby. I started to breast feed her right after she was born but she had a difficult time latching. We were both learning this new concept and it took a couple of weeks for us to get into a routine with breastfeeding. When she was four months old I returned to work full time and she attended day care. At day care she got used to bottle feeding and ultimately rejected the breast. This is pretty common. Bottle feeding is easier and requires less work for an infant. Needless to say I was disappointed but we had to switch to formula and my baby was much happier. When my first son was born a year and a half later, I was not working full time any more and my husband and I decided we would try breastfeeding once again. He caught on to it right away and quickly became a mommy's boy. He hated bottles and pacifiers. I was his pacifier and he nursed for comfort as well as nutrition. I felt a closeness to him unlike anything I experienced with my girls. I nursed my son until he was twelve and a half months old and today we still share a special bond. Currently I am nursing my fourth child who is three and a half months old. He caught on quickly just like his brother did and everything is going well. He just started teething and occasionally he'll bite, but I don't let that bother me. I know that I am doing the best thing for my son and I will continue nursing him until he is at least a year old. What is your story? I would love to hear it. Do you breastfeed or bottle feed? Did you like this article? Visit Juice Box Jungle to read more breastfeeding stories like this one.

Fast HEEEEEEELP! Lower motor mount Q.
So I am replacing my lower motor mount bracket and Ford has "updated" the part . The bolt that goes through the mount on the bracket side is now larger. I have the new bolt, and I have everything taken apart. I don't want to have to put the broken parts back in and continue to limp around until I can fix her "properly". These are the options I can think of, what do you guys think?
1. I can drill the sleeve on my current one and make it bigger to fit the new part (They are currently poly bushings, but with the stock mount) 2. I can order an entirely new lower motor mount with poly bushings (Hoping it fits the new larger bolt), and be without a car for x amount of time and force the fiance to park in the driveway. 3. I Can order JUST the new poly bushings and hope they will fit the new larger bolt that Ford has upgraded to. And again be without a car for x amount of time and force the fiance to park in the driveway 4. Go back to the Ford stealership and buy a factory mount for WAY too much money and not have polymounts any more(Last resort if you ask me). I need to get on the road again ASAP, BUT fortunately my Fiance has the next week off of work so I can still get around if needed, but that would make her either stuck at home with no car, or having to stay up LATE to pick me up from work, and she can't park in the garage because I'm on jacks ion the middle of the garage. (she won't like that option). What do you think my best option would be? I'm leaning toward drilling the sleeve out so it's big enough to fit the new larger bolt. I'm just not sure if that will affect the integrity of the sleeve/mount.

OPP: Mom's Mid-Life Crisis
by Slacker and Steve
posted Jul 3 2012 4:38PM
Watching a parent go through a mid-life crisis is difficult and today's OPP wants to know if he should step in. Charles' mom had him pretty young so she really did not have a chance to experience her twenties. Charles is now grown and his mom is trying to get those days back during middle-age, wearing tube-tops and going clubbing. Her behavior has making him uncomfortable and even making him a bit of a laughing stock.
Slacker says, though his mom is in her seventies and will likely never do this, he would never be able to confront his own mom about something like this since it is such a delicate situation and feelings could be very easily hurt.
This is a tough one...it is her life and she is just trying to experience some of what she missed in her twenties but if it is really that much of an issue, something needs to be said. Delicately, of course. Even if Charles seeks the help of one of her friends to guide her back towards age-appropriate activities, it has to be done if he thinks her "mid-life crisis" has gone too far.
What would you do if one of your parents put you in this position?
Until next time,

Help her realize that shes not in her twenties and she needs to start acting more appropriate for her age.

Since there is no cut filter of any kind in front of the cameras sensor, the Fujifilm IS Pro SLR Digital Camera is capable of imaging a broad frquency range from the UVA (380nm) through the visible portion of the spectrum and into the near Infrared spectrum (IR below 1000nm). However, it will not capture IR heat energy in ranges above 1350nm. This makes the camera ideally suited for a broad range of applications including forensic, medical, scientific and artistic uses.
The camera is built on the same platform as the FinePix S5 Pro digital SLR system, and incorporates Fujifilm's Super CCD SR sensor that uses a unique layout of twelve million paired photodiodes (6.17 million larger 'S' photodiodes for main image information, combined with 6.17 million smaller 'R' photodiodes for bright area information), and delivers improvements in noise, dynamic range, color and tonality.
The Real Photo Processor Pro ensures that the information is handled in such a way to produce images that are beautifully vibrant, with two stages of noise reduction that delivers an impeccably clean image, and also permits light sensitivity up to ISO 3200 while achieving sharp, low-noise images. Furthermore, dark noise reduction process, subtracts the residual, ambient noise on the sensor from the actual exposure. This helps the camera produce smooth, clean images when long shutter speeds are used.
The Fujifilm IS Pro is built using a tough, magnesium alloy shell, and has weatherproofing seals in all critical areas providing a camera that is not only technically advanced, but extremely durable. This makes it well suited for both interior and outdoor location shooting. The camera's shutter mechanism is also a testament to its durability, as it has been tested to exceed the key benchmark of 100,000 cycles. The Fujifilm IS Pro also affords the user much greater control over the unique image parameters that its technology provides. Six stepped dynamic range settings between 100% (normal dynamic range) and 400% (dynamic range expanded by two stops) will enable the photographer to achieve a broader range of detail in their images.
The Fujifilm IS Pro Forensic Zeiss Lens Kit adds a Zeiss 50mm Makro Planar F/2 1:2 macro lens with IR focus offset markings, CCD Dust Blower, the AC-135vn AC Adapter, Peca Filter Set (9 UVIR filters and 3 step rings), 15 Foot Combo USB/FireWire Cable, a Rubberized Protective Body Armor sleeve from Made Products, and the HyperUtility HS-V3 software for tethered shooting and advanced RAW file conversion.
- UV-IR Sensitivity
- The camera CCD is not shielded from UV and IR light, thereby providing the camera with the ability to capture the light spectrum ranging from UVA (380nm) through the visible portion of the spectrum and into the near Infrared spectrum (IR below 1000nm). However, the CCD is protected by a special formulated glass filter that facilitates basic maintenance and dust removal and aids in visible light, auto focusing.
- Super CCD SR Pro Image Sensor
- Boasting 6.17 million high-sensitivity S-pixels and 6.17 million R-pixels for wide dynamic range, the unique double-photodiode matrix of the Super CCD SR Pro delivered an astonishing difference in image quality. Furthermore advanced filters reduce moir problems.
- Real Photo (RP) Processor Pro
- Through a vastly improved signal-to-noise ratio and "two cycles of noise reduction", the RP Processor Pro enables users to take full advantage of ultra-high sensitivity up to ISO 3200 while images maintain clarity with greatly reduced noise, wide dynamic range and smooth tonality.
- A Broad Menu of Dynamic Range Settings
- The IS Pro gives you not only a wide dynamic range - critical to image quality, but also the capability to choose the optimum dynamic range setting for each scene. The selectable D-Range options include AUTO, 100% (STD), 130%, 170%, 230% (W1), 300%, and 400% (W2).
- Compatible with Nikon F-mount Lens
- The Nikon F-mount in the FinePix IS Pro accommodates a full range of Nikkor F-series lenses - including AF-D, AF-G and AF-S type professional optics.
- Password Protected Feature Lockouts
- Since field use of this camera may be done by a number of different people, the camera has the option of locking out access to certain features, so inexperienced users will be guaranteed to have the camera in the proper settings for the application at hand.
- Use for Normal Photography
- The camera can be used for conventional daylight photography by adding an optional UVIR cut filter to the lens.
- Facial Detection Technology
- With Fujifilm's Post Capture Face Detection, captured faces are automatically zoomed in during playback to confirm facial detail such as focus and exposure on the LCD monitor of up to 10 faces per image.
- RAW+JPEG Dual-save Mode
- The FinePix IS Pro also has the ability to record JPEG and RAW files simultaneously to the memory card. This will enable photographers to view and distribute smaller-sized JPEG images, whilst retaining the ability to work on the larger RAW files later on a PC or Mac. This dual option is available with a variety of image sizes, giving the option to store either a small, e-mailable file size, or a larger, more detailed JPEG.
- Optional TIFF Format
- Investigative photographers often require images produced in TIFF directly from the camera. Since most DSLR cameras today now only offer RAW as an option, the IS Pro offers an optional firmware upgrade that will support camera TIFF file formats in three resolutions. (RAW mode is not available during TIFF mode capture.)
- High-precision i-TTL Flash Control
- The FinePix IS Pro offers Intelligent Flash with the i-TTL full-aperture exposure metering system providing outstanding results with all Nikon compatible speed lights. This allows you to take advantage of a host of creative lighting options, even on location.
- Solid & Durable Body
- The robust lightweight magnesium-alloy body resists dust and moisture, and provides physical durability and shock resistance. Furthermore, the durable shutter unit has been tested to approximately 100,000 releases without fail.
- 2.5-inch LCD Display
- The high quality 2.5" LCD Display provides over 235,000 pixels of resolution, gives 100% frame coverage, and accurate color, to accurately check image focus and color rendition. Further image confirmation comes from the ability to display an image histogram and view image metadata.
- Live Image Preview
- Fujifilm pioneered Live Image Preview. The IS Pro provides a 30 second live image CCD preview to the camera's LCD monitor directly from the imaging sensor in color or black and white. To further improve the process, the live image preview can be digitally magnified and brightness adjusted to improve focusing accuracy or to compensate for light intensity. The video image can also be viewed on an NTSC / PAL monitor or on the PC over the cameras USB 2.0 connection directly when using Fujifilm's optional HyperUtility HS-V3 software.
- Bar Code and Magnetic Stripe Reader Options
- The IS Pro can be connected to an optional serial port bar code reader or serial port magnetic stripe card reader using the optional Nikon MC-35 GPS/Serial adapter. Alphanumeric data read by the devices is stored in the IS Pro's image file as part of the EXIF header in JPEG, TIFF, and RAW file formats. This data can later be recalled so that images are synched to databases using special software programs. Bar codes of drivers licenses, employee IDs, automotive VIN tags, credit cards, evidence tags, employee ID's, or any object with a bar code can be recorded directly to the camera.
- Free Online Training
Users can "attend" a free online IR photography 101 training course from BioMed studios. This offer is redeemable after registering the IS Pro Camera at www.fujifilmusa.com/register, and an included flyer instructs you how to redeem this offer.
Note: Unfiltered color images will retain a pink hue due to the added presence of increased red and infrared light captured. A great deal of this cast can be eliminated by adding a hot mirror filter or UVIR cut filter to remove the presence of IR light.
Note: When using filters to cut visible light, the camera can not auto focus. To achieve proper focus, use the manual focus mode in combination with the camera's Live Image Preview mode to fine tune your focus on a subject.
Note: i-TTL Flash Control is not fully functional when the lens is filtered for IR or UV capture only.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 broke apart in the air after it was hit by a burst of "high-energy objects" from outside, a preliminary report by Dutch aviation investigators said Tuesday. Take a look at images from the tragedy.
A Malaysia Airlines flight traveling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, was shot down by "terrorists" on July 17, an adviser to Ukraine's minister of internal affairs told CNN.
Take a look at images from the tragedy.
The plane, a Boeing 777, was traveling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it crashed near the town of Torez in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine.
Tensions have been high between Ukraine and Russia for months and Torez is in a region currently held by armed, pro-Russian separatists.
Malaysia Airlines tweeted this immediately when news of the disaster broke:
According to Anton Geraschenko, adviser to Ukraine's minister of internal affairs, the plane was shot down near the town on Torez in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine.
The plane was flying 10,000 meters above the ground when it was shot down by the Russian Buk missile system, reported Ukraine's Foreign Ministry.

Published on October 21, 2013 by Amy
The men's fancy dance is one of the most exuberant and wildly original powwow styles. Dancers, who are clad in flashy regalia, often in shades of bright neon and embroidered with elaborate applique patterns, dance fast, displaying an aerobic set of often choreographed moves. This dance is difficult to describe. Sherman Alexie, Spokane Indian and author of multiple books of poetry and prose, wrote an entire book of poems entitled The Business of Fancydancing, but never described the way it looks. It is fantastic and absorbing, absolutely entertaining, with a heart-stopping finale where the dancer abruptly stops in a theatrical pose at exactly the moment the song ends.
dna testing, dna ancestry testing, ancestry, genealogy, indian genealogy records, paternity testing, turquoise jewelry, native american jewelry
The outfit worn is flashy to attract the judges' attention. Sequins and day-glo ribbons are used, often with traditional beadwork accompanying the designs. Two bustles are worn on the back, and two smaller ones on the arms. The dancer often wears a fully beaded headband, armbands, knee-length harness and cross-piece, belt, side-drops, and moccasins. He also wears feathers and a rocker spreader, aprons, and side-drops. Bells are worn just below the knee, which ring and shake constantly throughout the song. The dancer also wears fur leggings.
The fancy dance is a must-see at any powwow. Aspiring fancy dancers should know that such an outfit would take a long time to fully sew and bead, unless you're lucky enough to have beadwork artists and seamstresses in the family. But by the time you get out on the competition floor, your flashiest tricks choreographed and ready, you'll feel proud and filled with honor as the first fast beats begin.

This is what makes Giant Bomb one of the best sites on the Internet.
I don't feel like you guys owe me anything, but I certainly won't say no to an extra two weeks.
Glad to see the RSS feeds mentioned, because that's where I get a lot of my video content from.
That's an awesome gesture Dave. Personally i don't think it's been that bad, but this sort of thing is what makes you guys the best.
I couldn't visit the site for only a few hours which didn't matter that much to me so this is very generous of you guys. Keep on rocking!
Very cool. It's been rocky using the site for videos on iOS, and the API stuff is a lot more crucial than I thought it was, so this is a great gesture on you guys' behalf. We'll push through, just keep the site stable and we'll be besties, Dave. (You too, Alexis and team.)
You never need to apologize, Dave, because YOU DA MAN. Alexis is also da man too.
I'm eating nothing but rice and chicken because my paychecks are being held for 2 months and had to cancel my premium account temporarily, so this is fantastic news. 2 More weeks of the fantastic Unprofessional Fridays, fuck yeah. Thank you!
That's what I love about Giant Bomb, we are always catered for which makes me feel special.
You guys totally didn't have to do that. But I really appreciate that you did <333333
Rock on Giant Bomb, thanks for the update! A few moments of downtime are totally acceptable considering the revamp.
Cool. I will have to resub during April, but now instead of doing it on the 5th, I'll do it two weeks later :D
I absolutely cannot wait until Bladerunner part 3. You better do it soon Dave!
I just wanted to thank you, Dave, and the rest on the staff for reacting to this both casually and professionally!
An extra two weeks is great, but knowing you're returning to Blade Runner is even better news!
I was one of the folks having login issues, so big thanks to @snide and the rest of the crew for busting their asses to get this stuff fixed. You can tell me the truth Dave, it was my underscore the site didn't like, isn't it? *sniff* Well I can't help that!
The redesigned website is awesome. Even with the turbulence the launch had encountered it still didn't bother me. Building from scratch is no easy task. Dave, Alex and the rest of the web devs, I give you a standing ovation for the work you guys put into building this site. Giantbomb is always the first website that I visit each day for articles and video content. Cannot wait for the next episode in Blade Runner. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Dave and the rest of the engineering team. Can't wait for more Bladerunner.
I thought one of the main things I was paying for was to watch you guys scramble...
Thanks a bunch for the great support and work you've put in on this! You can't always control what happens, but sure can control how you react to it and so far it's been a class act the whole way!
Thanks Dave, didn't really need this, but cool.
Also an added question, do Wiki entries automatically have blank space removed from them? I edited some formatting recently to make a page look pretty, but when the submission went live, it looked worse than before.
God I fucking love this site, in all honesty I was expecting it to be even more funky at launch, great job engineering team, you all rock and the extra two weeks on membership is a brilliant and unexpected surprise.
That's an awesome gesture Dave. Personally i don't think it's been that bad, but this sort of thing is what makes you guys the best.
You guys are great. Thank you, Dave, you really didn't have to do that. I can only speak for myself, but it was a bump you guys had to go through, and I have no problem supporting you guys through any situation - even if that involves downtime.
New site is great <3

Subject | updating payloads |
Date | Wed, 31 Dec 2008 19:34:05 GMT |
Is it possible to update the payloads of an existing index? I having troubles finding any mention of this on the mailing list archives and it is not obvious that this is possible from the api. I do not want to change the size of the payloads - just update the values. My payloads values depend on values returned from reader.docFreq(). I don't want to update often - just once - and I would settle for a very hackish way of doing it if needed. I suppose in the worst case scenario I could update the .cfs file directly - but now I expose my naivety. Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

Tony Blair served as Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from May 1997 to June 2007. He was also the leader of Britain's Labour Party (1994 to 2007) and the Member of Parliament for Sedgefield, England (1983 to 2007). More
Tony Blair continues to be active in public life. He has many interests, not least his current role in the Middle East, which takes up the largest proportion of his time. Since leaving Downing Street, Tony Blair has served as the Quartet Representative to the Middle East. He represents the United States of America, United Nations, Russia and the European Union, working with the Palestinians to prepare for statehood as part of the international community's effort to secure peace.
He has launched the Tony Blair Faith Foundation to promote respect and understanding of and between the major religions and to make the case for faith as a force for good in the modern world. The foundation creates opportunities for people of all faiths and none to come together to learn directly from each other and to take joint action on shared humanitarian goals.
The 'Faiths Act' programme empowers, supports and trains young people to take multi-faith action against extreme poverty in support of the Millennium Development Goals, providing an alternative to those who try to use faith as a means to divide. 'Face to Faith' is a global education project for students aged 11-16. Students learn directly from each other through working on joint projects, video-conference exchanges and an online community. The 'Faith and Globalisation Initiative' is a global network of leading universities, examining the role of faith in the modern world.
The Tony Blair Africa Governance Initiative helps some of Africa's most dynamic leaders deliver the change their people need to relieve poverty. Renewing Tony Blair's commitment to Africa, the Africa Governance Initiative currently operates in Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, advising President Kagame, President Koroma, President Johnson Sirleaf and President Conde respectively, with a team of AGI's staff working full-time at the centre of all four governments. By combining Tony Blair's unique experience as a leader and reformer, his personal relationships with African leaders, and in-country teams of experts, the Africa Governance Initiative is helping to build the capacity of partners to tackle poverty and attract investment sustainably.
Having been the first major head of government to bring climate change to the top of the international political agenda at the Gleneagles G8 summit in 2005, Mr. Blair is now leading the Breaking the Climate Deadlock Initiative, through which he is working with world leaders to bring consensus on a new and comprehensive international climate policy framework.
In recognition of his debt to the North East, he has also launched the Tony Blair Sports Foundation, which will increase participation in sport by young people, particularly those who are currently socially excluded - by inspiring more adults to become trained coaches; by providing access to high quality nationally-accredited training for those we recruit; and by helping to match coaches with the schools and sports clubs which need them. The foundation is working to ensuring a sporting legacy in the North East for the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics which Mr Blair helped to bring to the United Kingdom.
