NYLT Alabama
NYLT is…
National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action-packed program designed for councils to provide youth members with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home troops and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others.
The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what he must KNOW, and what he must DO. The key elements are then taught with a clear focus on HOW TO. The skills come alive during the week as the patrol goes on a Quest for the Meaning of Leadership.
NYLT is a six-day course. Content is delivered in a troop and patrol outdoor setting with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. Interconnecting concepts and work processes are introduced early, built upon, and aided by the use of memory aids, which allows participants to understand and employ the leadership skills much faster.

ACLU-NH asks to join free speech case against town's social media ban on negative comments
CONCORD — The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Hampshire asked to join a federal lawsuit against Farmington's policy banning any town employees from making negative comments about the town and disclosing information on social media.
According to the ACLU, the social media policies of the Town of Farmington violate free speech, hurt government accountability, and stops potentially important speech by employees for the public.
The ban effectively bans all speech critical of the town by employees which is what led to the federal lawsuit being filed, ACLU said.
"Granite Staters do not lose their right to free speech when they become government employees," said Gilles Bissonnette, the Legal Director of the ACLU of NH. "Allowing these speakers to comment about government activities, including on social media and to the press, is critical to government accountability."

Probiotics and Autism
Autism & Digestive Health
People with autism often have more digestive health problems than average. 1 in 4 children with autism (see Probiotics Learning Lab for glossary) are thought to have at least one chronic gastrointestinal symptom1 and numerous studies have discovered abnormal digestive health conditions in people with autism2,3. Autistic children have also been found to have more Clostridia (a type of pathogenic bacteria) in the gut than children without autism4 and a recently published study5 found a little known bacterial genus called Sutterella present in microbiota in just over half the participants with autism, but in none of those without autism.
Some research suggests that microorganisms support digestive health in adults and children. So could live cultures help children or adults with autism?
Probiotics for Autism: A look at the Research
Clinical Research
Probably the best known UK clinical study into probiotics for autism was the unfinished trial run in 2006 by Professor Glenn Gibson at the University of Reading; referred to by some as the trial which was "so successful, that it failed". 40 autistic children all between 4 and 13 years old were randomly separated into a trial group, and a control group. The trial group were given a probiotic supplement with the species Lactobacillus plantarum whilst children in the other group were given placebos (read about placebo-controlled studies here). The trial was supposed to continue this way for three weeks, before the groups would switch supplements and continue as such for a further three weeks. However researchers reported that the Lactobacillus probiotics had such a positive effect on the participants, that the 'blind' aspect of the trial fell through. Parents of participants in the probiotic group could see a noticeable effect, and said it was heartbreaking to have to stop their child from taking the probiotics. Too many participants dropped out of the trial when they were supposed to switch over.
Comments from parents6 of participants in the probiotic group included not only reports on digestive health improvements, such as, 'better formed stools' but also potentially behavioural improvements, such as, 'more calm, relaxed' and 'improved ability to listen and concentrate'. It is certainly worth mentioning that these comments are taken from a few parents, and also that interestingly, during the trial the parents' overview of the effects of the probiotics tended to be more positive than the view of the teachers. Finally, the study saw a large drop out rate which meant it could not continue.
We have not been able to ascertain which strain of the L. plantarum species was used; reports of the trial state only that this strain was non-commercial. Research demonstrates that any beneficial effects of probiotics are strain-specific (ie. the benefits must ideally be associated with a specific probiotic strain, and not simply a species).
Clinical Review:
A 2017 review of clinical research 7, by Dr. Qinrui Li from Peking University Hospital, Beijing analysed more than 150 scientific papers, dating back as far as the 1960's, in order to ascertain the impact of taking either prebiotics or probiotics on the symptoms of Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The review which was published in the Journal 'Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience' also assessed the impact of changes in diet, such as following a casein or gluten free diet, on the condition.
Results of the review show that improving the health of the intestinal flora eases autism symptoms and improves sufferers' social behaviours and ability to interact. Improvements were seen with both pre- and probiotic intervention and also with elimination diets. Researchers found that the improvements to symptoms that were achieved with dietary changes were mainly as a result of reduced intestinal inflammation and therefore reduced intestinal permeability, and leaking of toxins in to the bloodstream. Improvements seen as a result of pre- and probiotic supplementation however, were thought to occur as a result of strengthened activity in areas of the brain that are responsible for emotion. Pre- and probiotics effect our emotional responses via their interaction with the gut-brain axis, however they are also known to improve the health of the intestinal lining and to help to reverse intestinal permeability. This too will have positive repercussions for the symptoms of ASD via a reduction in circulating toxins that can affect the nervous system.
Following the review Dr Li said:
'Efforts to restore the gut microbiota to that of a healthy person has been shown to be really effective. Our review looked at taking probiotics, prebiotics, changing the diet - for example, to gluten- and casein-free diets. All had a positive impact on symptoms.'
When asked how the results of the review might benefit patients in the future, she added:
'We would hope that our review leads to research on the link between the gut microbiota and ASD, and eventually a cheap and effective treatment.'
Research in animal models
Whilst there are still relatively few human clinical trials investigating the link between gut flora and autism, scientists at Baylor College of medicine in Texas have recently been looking at the impacts of gut flora on the behavioural development of mice. Senior study author, Dr. Mauro Costa-Mattioli, said that the inspiration for the study8 was taken from earlier human studies that have shown a correlation between maternal obesity during pregnancy and the risk of their offspring developing various neurodevelopmental disorders, including autistic spectrum disorders.
In the study, it was found that young mice born to overweight mothers showed behavioural deficits, including spending less time in contact with other young mice, and not initiating social interactions. Both of these character traits are common in autistic spectrum disorders in humans. Moreover the bacterial composition of the young mice born to overweight mothers was also different from those born to healthy-weight mothers. In particular one type of bacteria, Lactobacillus reuteri, was reduced more than nine fold in the microbiome of the mice born to the over-weight group.
Based on these findings, the research team cultured a strain of L. reuteri, and put it in the drinking water of the unhealthy high-fat-diet offspring. They found that the inclusion of this one single strain of probiotic bacteria was enough to rectify their anti-social behaviour traits. Interestingly, the research also showed that this single strain of bacteria promoted the production of a 'bonding hormone', which is understood to play a crucial part in social behaviour in humans. A lack of this bonding hormone in humans has been associated with autism and autistic spectrum disorders.
A separate recent animal study has tried to further our understanding of the role the gut microbiome plays in influencing brain and nervous system function9. It was found that certain groups of bacteria seemed to have an effect on cortisol and serotonin levels. The research is still at the exploratory stage, and a lot more awaits discovery before we can have a firmer understanding of the interplay between gut and brain. Although still in the dark, research is consistently showing a connection between the gut microbiome and nervous system.
More research needed
A great deal more clinical research is necessary before any firm conclusions can be made as to the effect of probiotics on autistic children and adults; preferably with large, randomised and double-blind clinical trials. Professor Gibson has expressed a desire to undertake a larger study in the future with fewer drop outs.
Autism & Diet
Some people believe that the symptoms of autism can be controlled in part by dietary changes, hence a fair amount of those on the autistic spectrum cut out certain foods which are thought to be difficult to digest. In particular many children and adults with autism take on a gluten & casein free diet (known by many as the GF/CF diet). There is not a huge amount of clinical research on the GF/CF diet, and drawbacks could potentially include decrease in certain useful white blood cells10 as well as difficulty in reintroducing foods containing elements of gluten or casein. However, some anecdotal evidence suggests that the GF/CF diet could not only help improve digestive health, but also to improve attention & concentration, communication and language, and social integration, amongst other behavioural changes. Other foods which people cut out or reduce include MSG and aspartame flavour-enhancing ingredients, lutein, feingold and complex carbohydrates, starches and processed sugars.
Once again, large and reliable clinical trials into the effects of diet on those on the autistic spectrum would be warmly welcomed and must be called for. It is always best for individuals to see a dietitian or nutritionist before eliminating certain foods in one's diet. In the meantime, anecdotal evidence that diet can alter the symptoms of autism provides further promise for the link between autism and gut health.

I have a son age 2 yrs and 6months. He was diagnosed with severe Autism at 27 months old. He has digestive problems (switching between very soft yellow stools and very hard round stools) he also suffered with silent reflux as a newborn until 10 months which has now returned as regular reflux. He is non-verbal with a Global Developmental Delay. He is has a dairy intollerence and requires melatonin to sleep. I found this website after looking at many interviews with doctors who have done studies on children with autism and the benefits of probiotics. I carefully read the reviews before ordering and have decided that if the best that happens is that it helps his reflux and digestive problems then we shall be very happy. But...if the seemingly impossible happens (as documented in many studies) that it can de-fog the brain increasing the childs ability to start to speak, then this may just change our lives! So...I am currently awaiting the delivery of one months supply of the child probiotics at 2 sachets per day and shall be keeping a diary. I will post any notable changes x
Gerda M
After the daily mail news article I started giving my 12 year old son Probiotic Extra Strength as he has lots of emotional and behavioural problems at school due to low self esteem and anxiety.This has been happening from the moment he started school We are waiting for him to be assessed for Aspergers syndrome.
To cut a long story short, since he is on the Probiotic (10 weeks now) school life has enormously improved, no uncontrollable outbursts of anger, teachers can 'reason' with him, he has more patients to concentrate.....fantastic! He even stayed 'calm' at the dentist and had a filling done without running away! AMAZING!
As far as we are aware he has no problems with his gut, never complained of anything relating to digestive problems etc. It would be interesting to hear from other people who have similar experiences.
From a very happy customer
I came across probiotic information by accident while researching gf/cs free diet for my hf 5 year old DS. My son has had symptoms of autism and sensory issues since he began to walk. He walked on tip toes, lined up toys, very intense etc. his symptoms were what I considered mild. Before his first bday he had 4 ear infections. I nursed him and could not understand why. I researched natural remedies for ear infections and found that probiotics helped prevent them. I started with an infant probiotic I found at health food store. He is 5 now and has only had one ear infection since then. Right before he turned 3 I completely stopped giving him the probiotics. He stopped getting ear infections and figured it was time to wean him off. He doesn't get ear infections but his hyperactivity, food texture sensitivities, melt down, difficulty in transitioning and a whole lot more started at this age. My jaw hit the floor when I came across your article I want to run and buy him probiotics right now! I really believe his autistic behaviours increased when I stopped the probiotics. I know I shouldn't get my hopes up but I am really praying this helps. Thanks for your article from an HF mom.

GCV Automotive 2016 - London
Join leading innovators, technologists, start-ups, and corporate and financial venture capitalists, to discuss and discover the best investment opportunities in mobility, transport and automotive technology.
Join leading innovators, technologists, start-ups, and corporate and financial venture capitalists, to discuss and discover the best investment opportunities in mobility, transport and automotive technology at this one day conference organised by Global Corporate Venturing and LEIF.
Rarely in the long history of the automotive and transportation industries have they been as open and vulnerable to change as they are today. Car sharing, ride-hailing, electrification, connectivity, the rapid emerge of autonomous vehicles in passenger and industrial transportation, and the demand for 'mobility as a service' are potentially as disruptive as the switch from horse and cart to the car and the railways. Trains, planes and automobiles will never be the same again.
Corporate venture capitalists from a widening group of industries, including insurance, logistics and software as well as the established automotive and transportation sectors, are therefore seeking and backing new technologies and business models with large volumes of capital. There's a lot at stake. The costs of missing out on a revolution in transportation will be very high. Transportation is a trillion dollar industry with a knock-on impact on other industries like no other. The future of 'big energy' (utilities as well as oil & gas) hinges on the direction of transportation. For the software industry, transportation is a huge undiscovered new territory ripe for commercialisation.

Why consult on choosing the perfect diamond for the ring?
The diamond industry has been pretty stable for many decades. However, the modern world presents new challenges for this industry as well.

But there are enough counter-measures to ensure the authenticity of each diamond as well. The Israeli Diamond Exchange, as well as the experts from Moti Israeli Diamonds are equipped with all the necessary devices to check on every diamond thoroughly before selling it to you, so everything that has to be done is to run all the required tests on time.

Anyone would understand that diamond is just the cherry on top. In order to create the perfect proposal story, there's a need of special combination, which includes both – great polished, sparkling, breath-taking diamond and the perfect design to accommodate it. Some prefer pure yellow gold, others – white, while for some others red gold embodies the sense of a real love.

Welcome to Wiesbaden!
Hessian state capital, convention and health centre sur rounded by countryside, place of residence with a high quality of living, city of the hot springs, mansions and wine – these synonyms stand for the multifaceted city of Wiesbaden with its over 2000-year history. Wiesbaden is situated in the heart of Germany in the middle of the Rhine-Main Region some 30 minutes from Frankfurt Airport. The excellent infrastructure and attractive venues such as the Kurhaus, which is also one the city's landmarks, make the Hessian capital both a popular location for trade fairs, conventions and conferences and a favoured address for branches of renowned companies.
With more than 270,000 inhabitants, Wiesbaden is one of the major German cities that stand for a sporty, cultural and socially vibrant life. The events calendar of the state capital is colourful and bursting with things to visit: sports events that draw huge crowds such as the Ironman 70.3 are just as popular as the Theatrium, the "classic" among Germany's street festivals, the ten-day Rheingau Wine Festival, the Wiesbaden City Festival that guides its visitors to the most beautiful squares and quarters in the city or the Twinkling Star Christmas Market during Advent. Internationally renowned ensembles can be seen in the Hessian State Theatre every year for the International May Theatre Festival, and the Rhein gau Music Festival draws famous orchestras and conductors to the Rheingau and the state capital. A visit to the Museum Wiesbaden will enthral art lovers. With its more than 90 works by the Russian painter Alexej Jawlensky among others, the two programme house possesses the most important Jawlensky collection in the world.
Wiesbaden is also a modern health resort with a longstanding tradition. Even the Romans appreciated the healing and therapeutic effect of the 26 hot springs. Wiesbaden has transformed its good reputation as a "classic spa" into a recognised centre for the treatment of rheumatic and orthopaedic disorders. You can experience the therapeutic diversity of the hot springs in Wiesbaden's thermal baths. Beyond that, numerous parks and green belts invite visitors and locals alike to linger and relax. A wonderful way of discovering Wiesbaden and the Rheingau on foot is on the varied hiking, wine and nature trails.
Due to its proximity to one of the most beautiful and traditional wine-growing regions in Germany, Wiesbaden is often called the "Gateway to the Rheingau". Its numerous palaces, castles and monasteries make the Rheingau an attractive destination for day trips. During the grape picking season in particular, the unique charm of this colourful landscape unfolds when the vintners' taverns open their doors and the wine festivals are celebrated in the region.
Experience Wiesbaden
Wiesbaden is a multifaceted city steeped in history: once a bathing resort of the Romans, modern Wiesbaden has been predominantly marked by two eras. The 19th century saw the rapid rise to the sophisticated "global cultural city". Up to the First World War, Wiesbaden is, with its hot springs, temperate climate and casino, a top-notch destination for the nobility and wealthy bourgeois of Europe. From 1945 on, after decades in crisis, the city experienced an unforeseen resurrection. The former spa town in the centre of Germany has gradually been able to grow and refine its profile.
Today, healthcare still plays an important role in Wiesbaden, but the city has also become a key location for industry and services – and as the Hessian state capital, a political centre of the Federal Republic at the same time.
Indulgence Spa of the Romans
Wiesbaden's history reaches back more than 2,000 years. The Romans were the first ones who provided traces for permanent settlement which can still be found today. Most likely already in the years 6 to 15 A.D., the Romans erected a border fort as a military base. Soon after that, the central location and the rich thermal springs gave rise to a civilian settlement and the development of a spa culture. The hot water gave the town its name: "Aquae Mattiacorum" – the springs of the Mattiaci. Around today's Kranzplatz, the thermal spas provided luxuriousness, whereas the business centre was in the area of today's Mauritiusplatz. The first written information about Wiesbaden after the Romans was provided by Einhard, the biographer of Charles the Great. He travelled through "Wisibada" in 828 and 829 and described it as a castrum, which means a fortified settlement. In the 13th century, Wiesbaden was even the imperial city for a short time, but was repeatedly destroyed in wars and fires in the later centuries.
Rise to the "World Destination for Treatment and Cure"
It was not until the 18th century that the city experienced a new upswing. When Wiesbaden became the capital of the new duchy of Nassau in 1806, the town was systematically extended, which formed the foundation for its rise to a world destination for treatment and cure. Soon, the spa welcomed European nobility, but also many celebrities such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the Russian poet Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Otto von Bismarck as its guests. The handover of the town to Prussia fostered its growth even more. Kaiser Wilhelm I as well as his grandson Wilhelm II stayed in the town frequently. Both influenced its further development. Carl von Ibell, who was its Lord Mayor for almost 30 years, contributed significantly to lay the foundations for a large city: government and administration buildings, the Kurhaus and the State Theatre were built, the service industry boomed and the traffic infrastructure was consistently extended. The number of inhabitants doubled between 1880 and 1905. Mansions and houses in the construction style of historism, classicism and art nouveau were characteristic for the townscape.
World War I and the inflation put a sudden end to Wiesbaden's success and to the wealth of its citizens. A new orientation proved difficult as the town was occupied by French and English troops until 1930, and the following global economic crisis hit the old spa town particularly hard.
Only after World War II, Wiesbaden made a new beginning. In October 1945, the town which had been destroyed to a relatively little extent became the location of the first government of the new Federal State Hessen. The Hessian State Parliament, the Federal Criminal Police Office and the Federal Office of Statistics, as well as insurance companies, publishing houses and institutions of the film industry settled down. The industrial base was strengthened by the incorporation of the suburbs Amöneburg, Kastel and Kostheim. At the same time, the old glamour was revived step by step. In 1951, the Kurhaus, which had been damaged in the war, was reopened and in the same year the May Festival came back. Very significant was the decision in the 1970ies not to demolish the huge amount of old buildings, as it happened in other cities, but to refurbish it. With that, the particular charm of the town was preserved in a special way, by combining tradition with modernity.

My dad and I both are very particular about design. As my dad has been through this process a few times, we had a particular design for the apartment in mind and an idea of how it should be executed. Throughout the 5 months of this project, we've encountered a few bumps, but its all a learning process!
Designing a small apartment is much different than a house.
I mean, obviously. When you have such a smaller space, you have to be extremely strategic about where furniture is placed, how to maximize your space and emphasize the natural light. We probably changed our floor plan a half a dozen times because we had to negotiate with the space.
There is such thing as too much furniture shopping.
When my sister and I were younger my parents would drag us around to tile showrooms, fixtures and faucets places, furniture and rug stores to outfit their houses. Its probably trauma from those days, but I cannot tell you how many hours I have spent in store and online at West Elm, Room & Board, CB2, Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn. Sometimes, all you need to make an apartment a home is a TV and a couch.
Sometimes you have to micromanage.
The most difficult part of this project has been having to rely on our contractor to push things along. With my parents on the other side of the country, and my general helplessness, we knew going into this project that we definitely needed a hands on contractor. As we are nearing the completion of the apartment, we have been having issues getting certain things done. I'm not one to micro manage, but it starts to wear on you after you've been living in a construction zone for awhile.
The Bathroom:
Inspiration from Hotel Hugo, SoHo
My mom and I got inspired after she stayed in Hotel Hugo in SoHo over the Summer. We decided to replicate the shower door and sink and incorporate into our apartment's bathroom. Since we're still waiting for the sink legs and shower door to come in, they've installed a temporary sink and a shower curtain for the time being.
The almost completed bathroom. Still awaiting shower door and sink, as well as the vanity and mirrored walls.
The Kitchen:
Inspiration from West Village apartment's kitchen:
When I was looking at apartments over the Summer, we loved the design of one West Village 1 br apartment's kitchen. Particularly because despite it being so tiny, the kitchen was very well done. My dad and I specifically loved the Bertazzoni oven, which we also had installed in our kitchen.
The kitchen a few weekends ago. Terrifying.
We knocked out that weird wall, replaced it with a peninsula with some storage and the microwave installed.
I have yet to peel the blue plastic off of any of my appliances (not like I'm planning to cook anytime soon, anyways). Fridge by Liebherr, Bertazzoni oven, Miele dishwasher, Silestone countertops. The cabinetry and drawers obviously need to be finished, sink installed and the marble backsplash put in.
It's getting there. Hoping to wrap this all up by the end of the week… fingers crossed!

Cheltenham Saracens continued their recent good form with a solid win away in the Forest Of Dean at league rivals Bream.
Starting brightly Sarries started the match much the stronger of the 2 sides with good field position and patterns coming through taking a deserved lead with a Jonny Carter penalty after 10minutes. However some poor discipline lead to a spate of soft penalties giving Bream some good field position and their full back took advantage to stroke over an easy penalty bringing them back into the game. Their number 7 then scored a good try from a chip and chase when aided by a kind bounce to outpace a number of chasing defenders meaning Bream took what was a deserved lead of 8-3 into half time.
Having had a chance to re-group Sarries came out of the block's quickly in the 2nd half putting themselves in good field position and after working a number of good phases created the space out wide for Wayne Smallman to open his account for the year with a well taken finish converted well from an acute angle by Carter. Carter then added a well taken penalty to ease Sarries further in front and the game was secured when Wilkinson went over with 15 mins to go, again Carter adding the extra's.
Some resolute defence kept Bream out at the death and they ended up deserved winners with a solid away performance to consolidate their position at the top end of the table.

My regulars
It could have been the sunny day yesterday....but my regulars at the homeless class seemed a little brighter and those at Restore too (the charity for the mentally ill). At both the day centre and the charity there were new people trying yoga!
When there is someone new, I make sure I labour the point about yoga being about inner peace and not about how the postures look. It's not about being analysts about knee position or arm position. It a comfortable posture and practising* the eight limbs of yoga! It still is a challenge for people to relax about that...so it's very worth the reminder.
I really love that I have these fortnightly fixtures- regular yoga practice brings so much improvement. And have you googled the charities??? They are worthwhile Oxford charities. The Porch Steppin stones and Restore.
The chap who I won't name who comes every fortnight to yoga and is homeless is very reliable and has been really welcoming to everyone new who tries the class. He calls me Lucy, but names are only a label anyway!
And as I left from the class at Restore for the mentally ill, a regular there took genuine time to thank me for giving up my time to do the class for them. I do get thankyous, but not usually as pointed as this one. Somehow I think he really appreciated and understood the juggling I'd probably just done to get there. Which helps.
So a sunny day with a little baby step towards inner peace....and this graffiti outside of the a garden Cafe of Restore serendipitously there!!!
*last night my in laws were over for my mother in law's 60th birthday. And during the course of the meal I was informed slash it came up that "practice" is the noun and "practising" the verb. Uh oh. I have CERTAINLY got this wrong on numerous occasions! The in-laws are avid readers of this blog- it's so touching when I know these words go somewhere. Apologies to all you English language buffs reading! I'd encourage you to let me know my glaring errors- or I'll never learn :) and I can always fall back on the convenient excuse that Engineers write in equations if you do correct me!!!!!
Bring on Saturday's hangover cure classes and Yoga Mama class! Let's hope for sunny inner peace today at the Yoga Quota studio too!

UPDATE: Passengers say bus driver did her best in tough situation
There were some surprising and intense moments for people on a public bus Monday afternoon.
Passengers on a Chattanooga CARTA bus say they were caught off guard when a car slammed into the side of it.
Multiple people were taken to the hospital. At least one of them was seriously injured.
The accident happened around 1 p.m. Monday at the intersection of Main Street and Reggie White Boulevard.
"Glass went everywhere. Next I know, the lights went out on the bus," says passenger Eddie Caldwell.
Caldwell was on CARTA bus 113, along with 20 other passengers, when he says all of the sudden a gold car slammed into the side of the bus.
"I'm like, 'Is this car going to stop?' Then all the sudden it kept going and we hit collision on. Full force," he says.
Caldwell says all he could do was hold on, as the bus careened out of control.
"It hit this tree right here, where you can see, it shot us over there through the fence. The tree really knocked us to the right a little bit, toward the field over there."
The tree sliced open part of the bus with parts like a phone getting snagged along the way. It then crashed through a fence, past an on-ramp.
"People was screaming. A couple of old people were sore and hurt.," says Caldwell.
"We ended up with a number of individuals that need to be transported," says Bruce Garner with Chattanooga Fire Department.
First responders whisked away eight injured people from the scene. Some of them were complaining about back and shoulder pain. One person in the car was seriously injured. Chattanooga Fire had use the jaws of life to get that person out.
"Witness statements indicate that the other vehicle ran the stop sign," says Jill Veron, Director of Transportation for CARTA.
She says CARTA will be looking into all aspects of the accident.
"It could have been worse. I'm glad it wasn't any worse than it was," says Veron.
Passengers give credit to the bus driver for keeping her cool.
"She did her best. She did her best. The only thing I was worried about was the bus turning over on its side. That was my biggest concern," says Caldwell.
Visibly shaken, the driver was driven away.
"She's got some bumps and bruises. She's pretty shaken up. Otherwise I think she's ok," says Veron.
The accident is still under investigation by Chattanooga Police.
"I'm just glad nobody died or nothing. That's the only thing I'm glad about," says Caldwell.

Lloyds Bank hit by cyber-attack, as fraud costs in the UK rise by 55 per cent
Lloyds Banking Group has been subject to a three day-long cyber-attack designed to overwhelm the bank's systems and disrupt its digital services.
Cyber criminals made millions of fake requests to the bank intermittently between 11 January and 13 January, which stopped some customers from using their online accounts.
The series of distributed denial of service (DDos) assaults came from overseas servers and affected the Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland brands.
In a game of cat and mouse, Lloyds defended its systems using a "geoblocker" that stops all traffic coming to its website from a particular country, but can also prevent customers in that region from accessing their accounts.
While some customers could not log into their digital accounts or experienced a slow online service, the attack did not result in any customer bank accounts being hacked.
A spokesman for Lloyds Banking Group said: "We experienced intermittent service issues with internet banking between Wednesday morning and Friday afternoon the week before last and are sorry for any inconvenience caused.
"We had a normal service in place for the vast majority of this period and only a small number of customers experienced problems. In most cases if customers attempted another log-in they were able to access their accounts.
"We will not speculate on the cause of these intermittent issues."
Lloyds faced a flurry of complaints from customers on social media during the attack, but did not reveal the problems it was facing at the time.
The cyber-attack is the latest to hit Britain's banking industry since Tesco Bank had to freeze online transactions for customers after falling foul of a hack in November.
Tesco Bank paid out an estimated £2.5m to 9,000 customers following the breach, with the Financial Conduct Authority chief executive Andrew Bailey describing it as "unprecedented".
The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) - part of Government Communication Headquarters (GCHQ) - is understood to be working with Lloyds on the attack.
KPMG's latest Fraud Barometer showed that the cost of fraud in Britain has risen above £1bn for the first time in five years, largely driven by a huge surge in cyber-crime.
The total value soared 55 per cent to £1.14bn last year, despite the number of cases dropping by nearly a third from 310 to 220.
KPMG - which measured cases in UK courts with losses of £100,000 or more - said this was due to a rise in "super cases" worth more than £50m, while the value of the average fraud case doubled to £5.2m from £2.4m.
The barometer also highlighted a 1,266 per cent jump in cyber fraud, which reached £124m in 2016.
It included a case where cold callers pretending to be members of bank fraud departments persuaded some 750 victims to reveal security details.
Gang members were making between £1m and £2m a week during the scam's peak, taking a total £113m from victims between January 2013 and October 2015.
They targeted Lloyds and RBS business banking customers and, while police said no insiders from within the RBS banking group were discovered, three Lloyds collaborators were convicted.
It was described by police as one of the biggest cyber fraud scams ever investigated in the UK.
KPMG UK forensic partner Hitesh Patel said: "Both public and private organisations openly acknowledge that cyber-attacks are one of the most prevalent and high-impact risks they face and yet many operate on the basis 'it won't happen to me'."
It was recently found that elderly people are most at risk of cyber fraud, with more than a million older people duped by email scammers in the UK.

A south east Northumberland firm which has helped rescue an historic barn has received a national accolade.
Blyth-based Team Force Restoration is a building conservation company led by master stonemason Brendan Teasdale.
It was the main contractor on a restoration project at the 18th century Black Barn at Tow House near Bardon Mill.
The Grade II listed building is the only structure in England to have retained original heather thatch, and the project has seen the Blyth firm win the heritage category of the national Construction Excellence awards.
The company has already won regional Construction Excellence awards for work on Lindisfarne Priory in 2011 and in 2013 on the lighthouse and medieval monastic cell on Coquet Island, and was commended for restoration work at Seaton Delaval Hall.

Mom brought an adorable cake (made by Stacie Edens), some party balloons and her birthday pinata! We were all set for a cute session. Ayla is pretty comfortable with me since I have done her photos since birth and Friday was no different! She giggled and was on the move! It was a great evening and I was very pleased with the photos we were able to capture!! Abbe family, thank you again for giving me the opportunity to photograph this precious little girl!

Sarah Silverman, who helped Barack Obama campaign for the Jewish vote in 2008, has changed her Twitter location to "Palestinian territories," in a possible attempt to reach out across the Jewish-Arab divide–or, just as likely, in an effort to tweak pro-Israel sensibilities.
Silverman certainly catches her share of flak from the anti-Israel left; she was recently criticized simply because a pro-Israel group happened to buy a bloc of tickets to one of her shows.
But to the extent that she is trying to strike a critical pose–as she did in a recent tweet lampooning Newt Gingrich's staunch pro-Israel views–there is no better illustration of why Obama risks losing pro-Israel support in the 2012 election.
On the one hand, Obama is attempting to claim he has not just been pro-Israel, but more pro-Israel than any president in American history.
On the other, his penchant for confrontation with the Israeli government, and the anti-Israel passions of his core left-wing supporters, tend to undermine his pitch. Democrats are trying to redefine what it means to be pro-Israel–and it's not quite working.
Silverman's posture is an example of that contradiction–not because it's axiomatically "anti-Israel" to be pro-Palestinian, but because those on the pro-Israel side who support a two-state solution have become increasingly aware that their empathy is not reciprocated. It is hard to imagine a Palestinian actor provocatively setting her location to "State of Israel," for example.
In 2008, Silverman led "The Great Schlep," an effort to bring pro-Obama Jews to Florida to convince their allegedly racist grandparents to give the black candidate their swing-state vote. Part of that effort included reassuring Jews about Obama's support for Israel: "Barack Obama's foreign policy is much more stabilizing than John McCain's, and much better for Israel," Silverman claimed.
It's harder to make that case today, when Obama–and, now, Silverman–seem to be at pains to show solidarity with the Palestinian cause (and when the Middle East is more unstable today than in 2008).
Criticism of Israel is not the issue; sometimes that criticism is entirely appropriate. What's troubling to Silverman's intended audience is that they are being asked to accept that criticism of Israel, or solidarity with the Palestinian cause, is the essence of support for Israel.
Similarly, criticism towards Israel–or outright hostility–has become the litmus test of true membership in the "progressive" movement, creating a dilemma for pro-Israel Democrats who otherwise empathize with the Occupy Wall Street movement and its purported "social justice" aspirations. Occupy activists, for example, have announced their intent to protest and disrupt the annual policy conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
If Obama were to confront his allies in the Occupy movement, and if Silverman were to confront the anti-Israel left in general, her case for Obama might be a bit more convincing.

With temperatures nearing 70, it is perfect weather to move outside. We hitch up for the first time, back out of the shop, and nestle Sputnik between the shop and the dumpster. How's that for scenic?
But I don't even care! We are outside in the sunshine and breezes and have a great view out the bedroom window of a big green lawn and a little pond.
For being in an industrial park, there is a surprising amount of wildlife. Several Canadian goose couples eye the small pond as potential nesting ground until Otis catches sight of them and chases pairs of squawking geese into the water. He spends a few minutes chastising them from the shore until he gives up and runs back home to his water dish.
The one bird Otis isn't very interested in is Gertie, our guard flamingo.
The humans are cramming in as much social time as possible before our imminent departure and the pugs are getting their share as well.
Otis and Murray have another play-date with Tater the pug at Tater's new fenced in yard. Murray and Tater snarl and chomp each other, eyes bulging, barreling around the yard with tails unfurled in the wind. Otis sits by the people and watches in dignified disgust. He finds Tater's prized stuffed duck and tries to take it home with us.
Several friends stop by, including fellow Airstreamers and blog-readers Don and Kim (Hello!). We treat their poor friends to a lively discussion about black tanks and macerator pumps. I have to remind myself that normal people don't find sewage to be appropriate casual conversation.
I do learn, however, that lobsters emit noises which attract sharks if you hurt them. See, Don and Kim lived on a boat in the Bahamas and know a lot about holding tanks and lobsters. Good people to know in a pinch!
On these warm spring evenings I find myself thinking about how blessed we are. Maybe it isn't everybody's dream to live in an Airstream, but it is perfect for us!

default reasoning about actions and change using logic and answer set programming
draculasp is a system for representing and inferring knowledge about dynamic domains. Its name portends to the system's usage for non-monotonic reasoning about action theories, the semantics of the supported input fragments of the action language D being defined in terms of logic (more specifically default logic) and the actual reasoning being done via answer set programming.
The draculasp system is written in ECLiPSe Prolog and implements the translation from action domains to answer set programs outlined in this paper. It takes as input an action domain specification and instance information for that domain and transforms it into an answer set program with variables. This ASP can then be queried by invoking an external ASP solver.
draculasp is distributed under the GNU General Public License. It has been developed and should run under ECLiPSe Prolog 6.0 on ubuntu 11.04 using clingo as underlying ASP solver. You can download a package containing the source code along with some example domains.
More Information
Action domain information is stored in text files with a special syntax. The figure below shows the representation of the swipe card domain. The objective of this domain is to open an electronically locked door using a swipe card. If the agent has a card, it can swipe the card to unlock the door; if the door is unlocked and not jammed, it can be pushed open. Normally, the door is not jammed. The corresponding action domain specification swipecard.ads is as follows:
sort action: swipe, push. sort fluent: hasCard, locked, open, jammed. precondition swipe: hasCard. precondition push: and(not(locked), not(jammed)). effects swipe: not(locked). effects push: open. normally not(jammed).The first two statements define the domain signature. (Subsorts are not used in this domain, but draculasp also understands statements of the form "s1 extends s2" expressing that s1 is a subsort of s2.) Next, action preconditions, action effects and state defaults are specified, where action effects are grouped by actions.
Information about a specific domain configuration is specified in an action domain instance file. Each such file refers to a general domain description. Below we can see a particular branching-time instance of the swipe card domain.
instance of "swipecard.ads". time structure: situations. term depth: 3. initially hasCard.The first line refers to the domain of which the file defines an instance. The next lines declare time structure and term depth, and the last three lines characterise the initial situation.
All instance files share the reference to the domain, and declaration of time structure and term depth. Depending on the time structure, they additionally state an initial situation or a narrative. Below is the action domain instance file swipecard2.adi for swipecard.ads using linear time.
instance of "swipecard.ads". time structure: linear time 0..3. term depth: 2. narrative: holds(hasCard, 0), occurs(swipe, 0, 1), occurs(push, 1, 2).The second line expresses that the domain of the time sort is the set { 0, ..., 3 }, the third line defines the term depth. The block at the end specifies a narrative in which the initial time point is as in swipecard1.adi and the door is unlocked from 0 to 1 before being pushed from 1 to 2.
To provide you with some intuition on the look-and-feel of the program, we show an example run of draculasp's user interface. After starting the program we get to see the recognised commands and can list the domains available for loading:
$ draculasp Welcome! Available commands: help -- print this screen quit -- quit exit -- quit show -- print the current domain in text format write -- write the current answer set program to a file report -- create and display a pdf report domains -- list domains that are available for loading scep -- compute sceptical consequences test -- run regression tests load <domain> -- load an action domain instance ask <query> -- ask a query to the answer set program }:-> domains Available domains: airport.ads bomb.ads potato.ads shopping.ads swipecard.ads yale.ads Available instances: yale1.adi swipecard1.adi swipecard2.adi potato.adi 0.01s CPUWe can now choose an available domain instance and load it (and its domain). This applies the transformation of the previous section.
}:-> load swipecard1.adi Successfully compiled. 0.05s CPUWith the transformed answer set program at our disposal, we can now do reasoning; for example, compute all sceptical consequences of the compiled program.
swipecard1.adi}:-> scep holds(hasCard, s0). -holds(jammed, s0). poss(swipe, s0, does(swipe, s0)). holds(hasCard, does(swipe, s0)). -holds(locked, does(swipe, s0)). -holds(jammed, does(swipe, s0)). poss(push, does(swipe, s0), does(push, does(swipe, s0))). holds(open, does(push, does(swipe, s0))). holds(hasCard, does(push, does(swipe, s0))). -holds(jammed, does(push, does(swipe, s0))). -holds(locked, does(push, does(swipe, s0))). 0.0s CPUSo, for example, according to the program above, the door is initially not jammed by default. This persists through swiping the card, thereby enabling the agent to push the door open. Note that there is no information whether the door was initially open. Reasoning is of course restricted to the term depth specified in the instance file. For the informed user that wishes to inspect the intermediate quantifier-free action default theory from which the answer set program is created, draculasp offers to create a pdf file with the default theory in a human-readable format.
swipecard1.adi}:-> report This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian) entering extended mode Calling viewer, xpdf swipecard1.adi.pdf & ... 0.01s CPUFinally, we can also instruct draculasp to write out the produced answer set program.
swipecard1.adi}:-> write Writing swipecard1.adi.asp ... 0.0s CPU
draculasp is maintained by Hannes Strass. Feel free to contact him with any questions, comments or feedback.

A quick look at your Prep Sport Player Profile
Although we're all anxious to pick our Prep Sport line-ups, the fantasy leagues wouldn't exist without the Player Profile. It's time we gave it some credit for making all of this happen. Not to shortchange the Profile though…there's some pretty cool stuff in there if you're a fan or player so let's a closer look at the foundation for our Prep Sport fun…the Player Profile.
A lot of the page is pretty straight forward. On the left, you have some your key player data. You'll notice that's it's by sport for those freaks out there who are playing season to season in different sports. We mean "freak" in the best possible way. So you have your basic info…jersey #, height/weight, name, screen name, etc. Some of this may change over time so make sure as the player, to update information as it changes. For example, height/weight and age are going to change during your prep sport career. Let's assume your name is staying the same unless you're in some witness relocation setup. Your year is Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior. We don't have a separate title for 5th or 6th year students but it's probably time you moved on anyway. It's not cool having grand kids while in high school.
The real important link there is Stats. This is where you (or your biggest fan) enters and keeps up your sport stats. You are able to enter, edit, and maintain this. Try to do it right away since the fans and leagues that picked you need the stats to "drop down" to their league. You might get some grief if you've been too busy playing Call of Duty to add the game stats.
You'll also see some general team info such as your teammates that are in the system. If they haven't signed up yet, get them on board so you can talk junk about their game…come on…that's what teammates are for. You can click on the screen name to check out their profile page as well. Speaking of talking junk, you'll see the chat box below which is for you, your teammates, and PrepSport fans of yours. You may also get some talking out the neck from next week's opponent….Game ON!
In the middle of the page, you'll see the video section. The big screen is your profile video. Everyone's got video through their phone now so you have no excuse. You can mirror what the pro's do where you're tossing a ball back and forth. You can even cheese it up and personally, we hope you do. This video will automatically play when someone comes to your site so make it count. To the left of the Profile video are slots to add additional videos of your highlights, your junk talk, and even the time you were playing dunk ball and got rejected by the rim on the 8 ft elementary school hoop. You know the one. Soon, we all will. Again, be cool according to the Playbook Rules but also have fun. Get creative. If your video is rated up, it may start to rank league-wide if not nation-wide. Keep it sports related and no that doesn't mean you're wearing a helmet while streaking through the mall.
On the right side of the Profile page are some quick links to your Prep Sport School Channel. This is the place that fans of your school can go and upload videos, talk junk, check out players and stats associated with that school. You'll see the Weekly Faceoff pic which takes you to next week (or next game's) matchup. Vote on who you think will win and see how you stack up. Of course, at the top of the page is your link to Prep Sport Fantasy League action.
That's the Player Profile page in a nutshell. You'll need to create a Player account if you're new to the system but it's pretty easy (2 minutes tops) and you can get started today at our Registration/Login Center. So…what are you waiting for, Playa. Sorry about that…our bad.
