DOT has safety plans for Hwy. 14, lacks funding
Student teacher died in Black Earth crash last May
BLACK EARTH, Wis. - Almost nine months after a fatal crash, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation has plans to make a stretch of highway in Dane County safer, but it lacks the funding for its proposals.
Students and staff in the Wisconsin Heights School District deal with the dangerous stretch of Highway 14 in Black Earth every day, and they want changes to make it safer.
Last May, student teacher Katie Binning was hit head on and killed turning into the high school parking lot.
"I can guarantee you that, unfortunately, it will happen again if changes aren't made," said Mary Kay Deese, who teaches sixth and seventh grades at Wisconsin Heights.
Deese has a view of the stretch of highway from her classroom window, and said she often sees confusion from drivers and close calls for crashes.
"You kind of cringe and go, 'Oh, it almost happened again,'" Deese said.
"We've had five fatalities in this stretch since 2002, 140 accidents, (and) 25 percent have been rear-ended. This is real for us," said Mark Elworthy, Wisconsin Heights school administrator.
The DOT drew up three plans to make that stretch safer. The cheapest option costs $3.2 million and adds left-hand turn lanes.
The second option would straighten out a crash-prone curve in the road, which would cost $5 million.18523226
The third option would be to build an entirely new Highway 14, taking the traffic off the road and the furthest away from the school. It's the priciest proposal at $8.4 million.
But the DOT doesn't have the money to fund any of these proposals right now.
"(The highway) brings people through our community and to our community, and so we know it's going to have to be a team effort," Elworthy said.
Deese said she is determined to see changes to prevent future tragedies.
"Losing one life is losing one too many in my opinion," Deese said.
Over the past five years, the DOT counted one death and seven crashes along the half mile in front of the school.
The district put up larger signs over the past few years, along with a suggested speed limit of 45 mph near the school.
In the spring, the school administrator plans to install overhead signs with flashing lights as an additional precaution.

Sleeping Habit
My son is already 8 months old but he can't sleep on his own. He always needs to be rocked really hard, back and forth in his cradle. The babies of my friends can sleep on their own at this stage. I wonder why my baby can't. Is there something wrong?
5th August 2012 04:00 PM #2
It sounds perfectly normal to me. Some babies are just better sleepers than others. Are you nursing or giving a bottle during the night? Your baby may be waking up because he is hungry or it could just be that he needs the additional night time comfort. If this is a new occurrence, teething or growth spurt may be to blame. Rest assured, this is perfectly normal, and it will eventually pass.

One of my children had to be swung hard in order for him to relax enough to be able to sleep. He slept in his swing for his first year of life until we finally figured out what the problem was and corrected it.
You can learn more about his story here.
Please post back and let us know any other details you would care to share.

Thank you for your replies. As I've read about the story of Ma'am Kate's son, we evaluated our son right away. The good thing is, he's not likely to the situation because when he is really tired, he sleeps easily sometimes. I am still nursing him, day and night. As long as he needs milk, I am always available to feed him.
7th August 2012 04:22 PM #5
It sounds like you are just going to have to wait it out. I do not think it is anything unusual.
7th August 2012 07:28 PM #6
Hi Jaedris,
I want to reassure you, like the other ladies have, that this sounds quite normal for an 8 month baby.
In my experience, lots of mums talk about how their children sleep through the night but when you question them further they say 'yes, he only wakes at 12am and 4am' or 'he slept through with just one feed'. Formula fed babies often sleep for longer periods because formula milk is more difficult to digest than breast milk so feels heavier in their little tummies.
However, it is a great benefit to your son that you are breastfeeding him because this is the milk that nature intended for him. It is just right for his bodies. When we breastfeed at night the milk has 'sleepy hormones' in it which helps mum and baby to get back to sleep quicker. When my son was this age we were co-sleeping because then when he needed breastfeeding in the night I would not be disturbed much and this also helped him to settle down quickly.
Best wishes,
8th August 2012 06:52 AM #7
My concern was not so much that the child was not able to sleep through the night on his own, but the fact that mum mentioned that the child has to be rocked really hard.
Do you find that you have you rock your son all night? Or once he is asleep, will he stay asleep for 2 hours, until he is hungry, or will he wake up after only a few minutes, and need to be rocked back to sleep "hard" until he falls off again?
Warm regards,

Origami Lounge Chair
Thayer Coggin
Entering into business in 1953, Thayer Coggin carved out a unique identity in the home furnishings market through a commitment to modern, classic design. Through founder Thayer Coggin's vision and designer Milo Baughman's creations, Thayer Coggin has defined the mid-century modern era and curated a collection of some of the most recognizable furniture designs in the world. Baughman's design philosophy was that good design is enduring design and achieved a look that is uncompromisingly modern, but which never violates the timeless standards of classic good taste. Thayer Coggin and Milo Baughman were both inducted into the Furniture Hall of Fame.
Thayer Coggin furniture is produced by master craftspeople in the United States using the finest materials available. Their craftspeople work in a state-of-the-art, 200,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in High Point, NC. All Thayer Coggin upholstery is bench-made with the same craftsperson upholstering the entire piece.
Thayer Coggin uses the highest quality cushioning available: all polyurethane foams used in seat constructions are environmentally-safe and produced without the use of ozone destroying CFC's. These premium cushions are proven in laboratory tests and actual applications to be durable, versatile and very comfortable.
Milo Baughman (pronounced Boffman) was a pioneer in modern design and one of the leading modern furniture designers of the second half of the 20th century. Baughman was brought east from his native California by Thayer Coggin in the 1950s to design the first lines for his collection of related upholstered groups. Baughman's uniquely American designs were forward-thinking and distinctive, yet unpretentious. The relaxed and timeless quality of his furniture created a ready and consistent response and his highly influential work continues to be collected, reinvented, and revived by designers around the world.
Paramount to Milo Baughman's design philosophy was that good design is enduring design. Baughman's characteristic restraint does not permit the look of mere novelty to enter in. Rather, he achieved a look that is uncompromisingly modern, but which never violates the timeless standards of classic good taste. Baughman's work was included in "High Styles: Twentieth Century American Design," at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1985. In 1987, he was inducted into the Furniture Hall of Fame.View other products by Milo Baughman

Nunnelee an established Republican
Ross claims he's the true conservative
TUPELO – Robert Estes likes to tell people he's not a politician, as though they couldn't guess it from his long hair, long drawl and humble, aw-shucks nature.
But he doesn't play it as a handicap. Instead, the first-time congressional candidate wields his political inexperience like a sword: While Washington insiders wrecked the country, Estes has been working hard and creating jobs in north Mississippi.
Congress needs people like him, Estes said, because he understands the real world. And he knows how it thrives or withers based on the decisions Congress makes.
"Fifteen thousand new regulations have come down the pike in the past four years," he said. "That's 17 per day, about 330 per month. I know first-hand how unnecessary regulations, rules and taxes are crippling new business."
Estes, 38, wants to strip federal rules, regulations and taxes to their bare essentials. Do away with tedium saddling the free-market economy and allow business to flourish.
Such an unrestricted climate, he said, would entice companies to pull stakes overseas and return manufacturing jobs to America. The economy would recover, money would flow, the federal debt ceiling would shrink.
Born in Cleveland and raised in DeSoto County, Estes came from a single-parent home where education and hard work held the utmost value. His mother was a school teacher who also taught night classes to make ends meet.
Estes started working at 12, when a neighbor gave him a broken lawnmower in exchange for a summer's worth of free mowing. Using spare parts, Estes fixed the machine and cut the man's yard but also charged other neighbors $3 per job.
"We were so poor, and I'm not trying to sing no sad songs, but we couldn't afford a lawnmower," Estes said. "I took him up on the deal … and I never looked back."
Two years later, he flipped burgers at a local restaurant before landing work at a hobby shop. He graduated from Horn Lake High School in 1992 and immediately got a full-time job loading trucks for UPS.
At 21, he found work at a casino and lived with his mother to save money for his dream: owning a business. It took three years for Estes to scrape together the down payment on a truck. When he did, he left the casino and launched Estes Grading and Trucking. Today it employs 20 people and operates 17 trucks, bulldozers and excavators out of its Southaven location.
The story could have ended there, but about a year ago, Estes's growing frustration with the economy prompted him to create a website called Where'sAmerica'sJobs.Com. It quickly attracted followers and garnered him national media attention, along with an invitation to speak at The Heritage Foundation in Washington.
While there, Estes purchased a little plaster replica of the U.S. Capitol. It was made in China. The replica travels with Estes on his campaign stops as a symbol of the country's woes.
"We've got a serious problem in America," he said, holding up the little monument.
Although he's perhaps the least-known of the three Republican congressional candidates, Estes said he has family throughout north Mississippi, especially the Ripley and Falkner areas. He also has numerous business contacts, he said, and has earned nods from Tea Party supporters.
But he faces a hard fight. Incumbent candidate U.S. Rep. Alan Nunnelee, R-Miss., spent 16 years in the state Senate before entering national politics and has name recognition throughout the district. Challenger Henry Ross was a circuit judge and Eupora mayor with several previous, albeit unsuccessful, political runs under his belt.
"I'm not worried," said Estes, who is single. "People know me. And the more people get to know me, they like what I'm saying."
Estes said he can't sit idly and watch the nation crumble. It's his duty as an American to step up and serve. If the people elect him, he said he'll take bold, decisive action on the first day of office.
"No more unnecessary regulations, no more unnecessary rules, no more unnecessary taxes," he said. "That's what I stand for."

"What's validation and parser in Chinese?"
Hmmm, I think:
- Validation could be hau jing, meaning, to
correct by comparing/matching.
- Parser could be guy dok hey, meaning, a tool
for reading/decoding.
Another possibility is guy ma, but that means "to decode", which is quite different from "to parse".
guy mean "to explain, to simplify" and dok means "to read", so together, it becomes 'a tool for reading/decoding'. [*]
It's incredibly difficult to come up with good technical terms in Chinese. Most of the terms coined are either really cheesy, or just too convoluted to be used comfortably.
It's also a difficult task because many words' connotation and usage differ slightly depending on where you are. The regional differences between the Chinese used in Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and SE Asia (Singapore, Malaysia) make it impossible to do good 'pan-Chinese' translations. It's not like we don't understand each other, but the style of the language differs from region to region. A lot of Chinese software are geared towards Taiwan users or Mainland Chinese users, and people from Hong Kong -- like me, will find the words vaguely strange-sounding. Ugh.
If I have time, I should help review some of the Chinese translations for GNOME.
[*] I came up with the Cantonese-to-English phonetic transliteration for these words as I'm writing this. I'm too lazy to make sure I can write correct Pinyin. xcyber speaks Cantonese anyways. They're probably not the same as the standard method, but who cares.

The Sundown Playboys are a Cajun band based in Lake Charles in southern Louisiana. Founded in 1945 by Lionel Cormier, they are still going strong, with various Cormier family members among their alumni.

Leap of Faith
It seems like a long time ago that I was taking the Intro to Small Business class at UAS, and working on my business plan project. Since then, I have opened a restaurant using that plan as a template, built a solid customer base, and grown a successful business. Because of the flexibility of UAS e-Learning classes, I've been able to continue pursuing my accounting degree.
I was a freshman living in student housing at the University of Alaska Southeast, when I realized that Auke Bay needed a coffee shop type place to hang out after everything else had closed. I had planned to finish school, and then look for a place to open a coffee shop. However, with business, it's all about being in the right place at the right time. I knew that if I didn't take advantage of a great opportunity, someone else would. After much planning, and a lot of work, In January, 2004, in the middle of my sophomore year, I opened the Waffle Co. It's now been open for 6 years.
The Southeast Waffle Company is located just 5 minutes from the UAS campus, and we offer long hours and free Wi-Fi. The Waffle Co. is open early and late serving waffles and coffee to students at UAS and all of the community. We provide a comfortable atmosphere, great homemade food, and great friendly service.
In 2007, I did an extensive remodel on the space, expanding the size and the menu. We now serve not only a variety of sweet and savory waffles, but also homemade soup, sandwiches, baked goods and ice cream.
I've always had college students in mind when making business decisions, and I strive to keep my prices low, and maintain accessible hours. Lately, I've been displaying student artists' work on the walls, and plan to display a new set of artwork each month. I love being able to be a part of the community, and being able to give back when I can.

Jane Miller decided many years ago that if she were going to be a homemaker, then she would be the best darn homemaker possible.
"I wasn't born a cook or a seamstress," said Miller, 48. "It's been a lifelong process to be the best at something. There's really not a right or a wrong way. It's whatever works for you."
And what works for Miller is putting delicious homemade meals on the table every night for her family, which includes her husband, Matt, and children Alyssa, Miranda, Anna and Andrew.
"I really enjoy cooking and that sort of ruins a meal in a restaurant for us. We eat out rarely," she said. "I try not to get in a rut of cooking things over and over again. We have lots of variety, lots of new recipes."
Miller's mother died when she was a year old, and her grandmothers helped to raise her and her siblings in South Carolina.
"My Grandmother Gertrude was a wonderful Southern cook," she said. "She'd come to visit and bring a carload of food with her and all her cooking supplies. She would spend all day cooking and sometimes we wouldn't even eat until 8 o'clock at night. She said that was on purpose – so that we'd be starving and really enjoy what she'd made."
Miller's other grandmother, Mama Kitty, learned to cook alongside her husband after they married.
"She was never in the kitchen alone," Miller said.
For years, Miller was a homemaker, but she has also worked outside the home at Heirlooms Forever, A Cook's Place and, currently, at Tea for T'Arts inside His Hers Antiques and Collectibles in downtown Tupelo.
But she'd rather be at home cooking meals, sewing, helping with homework and volunteering in the community, which includes being president of Pied Piper and the Tupelo Middle School Thespian Club and being a member of the parent-teacher organizations at Thomas Street and TMS.
Miller prides herself on homemade foods like loaf bread, pizza dough and tomato sauce. But she's also ventured into other things as well.
"I make homemade ranch dressing and homemade french fries," she said. "Yes, Ore-Ida french fries are good and Hidden Valley Ranch dressing is yummy, but I've learned to make my own. I guess it's an ego thing."

Journal Journal: First look at new open source game "Zero Point War"!
I created Zero Point War because I wanted to create an open source game that is about the open source movement. Many open source games feature mascots and imagery associated with open source projects, but do not actually attempt to integrate the open source ideals into story or gameplay.
With modern scientific advancements in areas such as speech recognition, search engines, nanotechnology and 3d printing we are rapidly approaching an age where Star Trek style Replicators will be a reality. The only thing that will prevent a person from ordering their computer to print a hot el grey tea or a pair of Nikes will be copyright laws and licensing fees.
I think legislature such as SOPA is only the beginning; as technology advances there will be harsher and more draconian laws. Copyright can not exist in a world where material goods can be pirated at will. A world where food and clothes can be downloaded off the internet, a world where shelter and transportation can be printed out. Unrestricted access to such devices would effectively destroy the value of all accumulated wealth on earth.
The central plot in Zero Point War is the struggle for control of this technology. Taking place in the year 5,000, missions pit corporate copyright enforcers against space pirates in high speed interstellar battles using highly advanced unmanned space probes called "remote presence vehicles".
Check out the video, and tell me what you think.

This has to be one of the nicest shots I have gotten so far. In it you can see all the way around the lagoon of Universal's Islands of Adventure Theme Park in Orlando, Fl. It was taken from the highest level of 'The Olive', which is part of the Popeye raging river ride. If you look down you will see segments of the rafts going by. Too bad I couldn't get a whole tube in since they moved by before the columns were shot. Anyway, starting at the left and moving right: First is a bit of the Jurassic Park themed area. The crane in the background and the grey wall are there for the new Harry Potter area that is being built and is supposed to open later in 2010. Given the amazing work done in the rest of the park, I can't wait to see what the new area holds, it is bound to be amazing! Next is the 'Lost Continent section of the park where you can see the water side of the Mythos Restaurant. Kind of behind it you can see another crane and the beginnings of a new roller coaster. The new coaster is actually in the Universal Studios Theme Park next door. To the left of that is Seuss Landing, a whimsical tribute to the renowned childrens author. Then comes Marvel Super Hero Island where you can see the green Hulk Roller Coaster and the twin towers of Dr. Doom's Fear Fall. It took a while to get that section since I had to wait for the coaster cars and the tower rides to launch, but it turned out pretty well I think. You can even see some kid screaming as Dr. Doom extracts fear so he can defeat the Fantastic Four. Of all the parks in the Orlando area, Islands of Adventure is my favorite adreneline park. The coasters are super fun, the attractions are amazing in their clever use of technology and the design of the themed areas should win multiple awards. A great park to fill a day with!

IT WAS summer again; a dreamy, hazy, delicious summer afternoon. Three sat upon the brow of a small grassy hillock near the beach—Frank, Undine, and Aunt Margaret.
The grass was rich with great golden-eyed flowers, and he picked them as he lay there, to fasten in the golden hair of the woman he loved—long silky yellow hair that hung about her, soft and fleecy as the small white cloud that lay dreaming far away to seaward.
Undine, sitting a little apart with her book, looked up ever and again to watch them; they were pleasant to look at as the blue sky overhead or the green grass and shimmering light below. Every now and then she caught a word of their conversation; they were making little plans for the spending of the long good years that were coming to them, when they two should be always together. At last they called to her: "What shall the colour of the study curtains be—red, green, or yellow?"page: 72
"Blue," said Undine—"blue, just the colour of the sea where it lies at rest, far away."
"No, no; not that colour," Aunt Margaret answered, quickly. "I never did so before, but this afternoon I hate it. Every time I look up and see it, I hate it."
"Look at that cloud," said Undine; "when we came 'twas a tiny speck we could hardly see, and now 'tis like a great fairy snow-ship in the sky." Then a silence fell on all three; but by and by Frank fastened more golden flowers in the yellow hair, and Aunt Margaret's merry laugh was heard mingling with the rippling of the waves and the hum of the brown insects in the grass. Undine sat looking at the picture before her, all green and gold. Surely it must be that in such a world life and love are alone realities, and death and pain are but the fevered dreams of our own minds."
There were withered flowers lying among the grass stalks; there were heavy shadows growing in the valleys; the fairy ship was growing darker every moment and would come with the storm wind and the hellish grin of the lightning, to plough up the smooth face of the sunny sea before morning, but they saw none of those things and sat there smiling in the sunlight.
"Delilah, you are bewitching me," said Frank at last, as he sprang up from the grass on which he had page: 73 been lying with his head in her lap. "I promised to be at Leeford tonight; must be there, in fact."
"It's too late now," said Aunt Margaret, shading her eyes with her hand to look at the sinking sun; "if you walk ever so fast you cannot get there before dark."
"I shall not walk; I shall hire a boat in the village and two boys, and shall be back again by ten o'clock."
"It is the last evening, Frank," she said, turning her bright childish face up to his, "the last for four whole weeks. Be sure you come back."
He stooped over her and whispered softly for a moment, and then with a good by to Undine sprang down the green slope and over the rocks along the beach.
Just as he was passing out of sight he paused for an instant to look back at them and call out, "Only till ten o'clock, you know, only till ten o'clock."
The two left rose to go home then.
"Shall I pull the flowers out of your hair?" asked Undine.
"No; I leave them there; I feel like only a little child tonight. Oh, Undine, I hope you will one day be as happy as I am."
She had reason to be happy, Undine thought; in a few months more he would have finished his studies and was to settle as doctor in Greenwood, and they were to be married; reason enough, but so page: 74 had most women. How glorious it would be when she, too, was one!
Later on in the evening Undine kneeled in the seaward window of Aunt Margaret's room. Aunt Margaret stood behind her with her arms twined round her, and both were looking into the darkness. Except the flash of the distant lightning, nothing was to be seen, nothing to be heard but the faint roll of the thunder and the roar of night wind as it flung the mountains of water it had created against the cliffs or hurried them madly over the rocks.
"It is no use looking out any longer; he will not come tonight, Golden," said Undine, using, as she often did, his pet name.
"No, no, you do not know him as I do. He would do anything rather than disappoint me," she answered.
"But the boys, the boys," said Undine; "they would never venture out on a night like this."
"Then he would come alone." The words were said in a calm, measured voice utterly unlike her own; and Undine looked up at the white face above her and out at the darkness, and shuddered.
"What time is it?" Aunt Margaret said at last.
"I don't think it's very late," said Undine, with a piteous attempt at a smile that faded instantly when she had left the room and was making her way through the sleeping house.
As she stood before the great clock in the hall it page: 75 struck the hours slowly; and then the solemn ticking was renewed. She thought of the things it might once have spoken to her, concerning the bright brown face that had looked back at them from the rocks—the rocks where now the wild water was foaming in the darkness—and was glad that it could speak them no more.
When she got back to the room, Aunt Margaret was kneeling at the side of the chair on which the candle stood, with her two beautiful hands clasped over her head.
"It is just twelve," whispered Undine as she sat down beside her. "He will not come tonight; it is too late."
"Too late, too late!" Aunt Margaret hissed the words from between her clinched teeth. "I never prayed for him as I ought, I never kept on praying till I felt God's answer, and now I can do nothing more for him, nothing more. It is what I deserve, it is God's punishment on me for loving a man who mocked His name, who had no faith in Christ; but, Undine, Undine, heaven will be no heaven to me if he is not there. I would give my soul so willingly to reclaim his; I could bear all for him. Pray, Undine, pray. I cannot."
And Undine prayed—prayed as we pray for that which we are losing, for that for which we fear the day of prayer has almost ended.
"Talk, Undine, talk," said Aunt Margaret. "If page: 76 you are quiet I cannot bear it." And Undine talked on, the words of her own sweet dreamy faith—talked on till Aunt Margaret fell asleep with her head in the child's lap. Then at last Undine leaned her forehead against the chair, and slept also.
When she awoke next morning the world was laughing, the sky all blue with not one tell-tale cloud, the hills all green and glittering in the morning light, and the blue sea beyond them rippling in the sunshine, with a smile like the dimpled smile of a beautiful wicked woman after she has broken hearts and sucked the sweetness out of human lives.
Undine, before she was well awake, smiled back at the picture that laughed back at her through the open window; then wondered what this heavy weight about her heart might mean, and remembered all.
Had he come? Where was Aunt Margaret? Glancing round the room, she hurried out to look for her. As she passed her grandfather's door he opened it and called to her:
"Do you know who went out at the front door last night and left it open? I felt the cold wind blowing in, and had to go down and close it, about four o'clock."
He felt pretty sure the culprit stood before him; no one else in the house was given to wandering out at night, and in the dark. It would only be of a piece with all her other eccentricities, which had page: 77 at last brought him to the conclusion that the child whom he thoroughly detested, yet could not get rid of, was not quite in her right mind.
She gave him no answer to his question, but asked hurriedly, "Has he come?" And seeing from his face that he did not know, she passed on.
Where was Aunt Margaret! Not in the garden, not in the house. Soon everyone was in full search of her except her father, who went into his study to prepare next Sunday's sermon.
She had angered him last night by asking him to send some one over to Leeford to hear if Frank had left. He hated his future son-in-law with a hatred only less perfect than that which he felt for his little granddaughter. A Freethinking child of the devil, he had more than once called him to Aunt Margaret, and he would never have had her had it not been that from his mother he had inherited something.
Gold is like charity; it covers a multitude of sins; it maketh a cloak wherein even Freethinking may array itself, and its nakedness shall not appear.
Two hours later he came out of his study with a troubled look. His wife had been to tell him that Margaret was nowhere to be found, and that one of the boys had returned from Leeford. Frank with the other had started in the boat at eight o'clock the night before, hoping to reach home before the storm broke.page: 78
If there was one thing in the world the dried-hide loved, it was his daughter; and in the search that followed no one looked so anxiously or so earnestly as he.
He had refused to send anyone last night, and she had gone herself, he thought; and so thinking he set out on the road she must have taken. Undine went to search where she knew Aunt Margaret's own heart would have taken her—to the little green hillock where the yellow flowers he had picked lay withered here and there, where she could see the rocks on which he had stood to wish his last goodbye and the placid sunny sea which murmurs on so softly, telling no tales of the beauty and the strength it has devoured.
Undine could not bear to stay near it and hurried back to the house and the dear old rose-filled garden.
Her grandmother met her at the door, crying and wringing her poor weak hands: "Oh, he is dead! Poor Frank is dead! They have found his body, and the boy's that was with him. And my darling, my poor darling, where is she? It will kill her! It will kill her!"
Undine did not stay to mingle tears with her, but passed from room to room like one in a dream, searching where yet she did not hope to find; with the restless moving water ever before her eyes as she wearily closed and opened door after door.page: 79
The door of her own room stood half open, but she only glanced in, and was just leaving it when her ear caught a sound from the corner near the window. There, with the sunlight streaming full over its yellow hair, crouched a naked human figure. The knees were drawn up till the chin rested on them, and one arm was clasped tight round them; the other was stretched out, and one finger pointed to a crack in the boards. The eyebrows were drawn down till the eyes were hardly visible, but they opened slightly every time the mouth twitched nervously to one side or the other.
Undine stood motionless in the doorway and watched it. Had sorrow touched her reason? Was she mad? Or was that really what she looked for—that thing with the faded yellow flowers in its hair?
'Twas a hellish laugh that filled the room and rang out across the rose trees in the garden. The finger was still pointing to the crack along the boards.
"Ha-ha-ha! There they come—one, two, three; there they come—the devils that have got his soul, hundreds of them, thousands of them. That is the door they took him down, there. I asked God to take me instead, but He would not, and now they have got me too. He used to say there was no God, and no hell, but God will show him now. page: 80 Ha-ha-ha! How they come! Little devils—one, two, three!"
Undine uttered a low cry and dropped down onto her knees beside her.
The yellow thing, with its faded flowers, crouched down lower, crouched till its chin rested on the floor, and its half-closed eyes glanced furtively now on this side now on that. Then springing to its feet, with a cry, it seized Undine with both hands and bore her to the ground. Kneeling on her and putting its lips close to her ear, it hissed forth: "I know you, who you are. You look like Undine; but you are the devil; the devil to whom God gave his soul. I know, I know. You left his body lying there upon the beach, and you tore it with your cruel hands that I might not know it when I found it lying there in the grey dawn: but I knew it, I knew it." She fixed her teeth in Undine's arm and clasped her to her breast until Undine's cries were smothered and she became unconscious. When those who had heard them entered the room, Undine lay upon the floor insensible, and in the far corner crouched a thing that licked its red lips and cried exultingly as it pointed at her: "I have killed the devil! I have killed the devil! Ha-ha-ha!"
A week after, and Cousin Barnacles had taken Undine to his house in Greenwood.
It is not time which makes old men and women of us. Undine's childhood lay buried in the grave page: 81 upon the hillside where a form which the sea had given up was laid, and in a dark strong house far off where a mad woman grew wilder still if they showed her a bible or a yellow flower.
Ignorant of the world, shy, childish in her manners, yet for her childhood was forever of the past. She would never again dance with naked feet among the rocks and wonder how, in the world of green and gold, men ever sigh and pray for rest beneath its crust. For her, henceforth, the merry laughing children would be you, and grave-eyed men and women, we and us.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is scar tissue that forms in parts of the kidney called glomeruli. The glomeruli serve as filters, helping rid the body of unnecessary or harmful substances. Each kidney has thousands of glomeruli. One glomeruli is called a glomerulus.
"Focal" means that some of the glomeruli become scarred, while others remain normal. "Segmental" means that only part of an individual glomerulus is damaged.
Segmental glomerulosclerosis; Focal sclerosis with hyalinosis
The cause of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is usually unknown.
The condition affects both children and adults. Men and boys are affected slightly more often than women and girls, and it also occurs more often in African Americans. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis causes about 20 - 25% of all cases of nephrotic syndrome.
Known causes include:
The health care provider will perform a physical examination. This may detect tissue swelling and high blood pressure. Signs of kidney (renal) failure and excess fluid may develop as the condition gets worse.
Tests may include:
Some patients will receive high doses of corticosteroids or a drug called cyclosporine to suppress their immune system.
The goal of treatment is to control the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome and prevent chronic kidney failure.
See also:
In general, treatments may include:
See also: Kidney disease - diet
More than half of those with focal or segmental glomerulosclerosis develop chronic kidney failure within 10 years.
You should call your doctor if you develop symptoms of this condition, especially if there is
No prevention is known.

Environmental advocate Jon Hinck, a lawyer and a state representative, is "seriously considering" a run against Republican US Senator Olympia Snowe in 2012, he told the Phoenix this week.
Hinck, a progressive Democrat from Portland, describes Snowe, who has served in the US Senate since 1995, as "a good senator, as senators go."
"But I happen to believe that we're on a really bad track," he says. "And a decent senator who's been in Washington for more than 30 years is not going to make the types of decisions we need." Snowe served in the US House from 1979 until she became a senator in 1995.
Hinck is particularly concerned with economic justice — the nation's income and wealth disparity — and energy policy. Without a comprehensive energy policy, he predicts a "pending environmental and national security crisis." While Snowe has been outspoken in her support for a national energy policy (she released a press release in May saying it was a "travesty" that the issue was being pushed aside to make room for the economic debate), Hinck does not think she's been sufficiently proactive. "I think the senator from Maine should be driving the energy policy debate," he says.
Hinck, who blasted Governor Paul LePage's environmental and energy strategies in these pages just a few months ago (see "Progressive Nightmare," by Deirdre Fulton, March 18), has whittled down his energy prescription to four simple tenets:
Get efficient.
When it comes to energy generation, "take nothing off the table."
Internalize all the costs — which dovetails with:
Eliminate subsidies and let the market dictate what works.
Hinck isn't the only Democrat contemplating a run against the popular incumbent. Former Maine secretary of state Matt Dunlap has also expressed interest; the possibility of a primary between Dunlap and Hinck could mean an increased focus on the environment, conservation, and energy issues. For the past several months, Dunlap has served as interim executive director for the Sportsman's Alliance of Maine, the non-profit organization that advocates on behalf of hunters, fishermen, and other wildlife-enjoyers in the state. The Alliance, like Hinck (whose wife is a lawyer for the wind industry), has been involved in the debate over wind-power development in Maine.
Should they officially decide to run, both Dunlap and Hinck would face a large obstacle. Not only is Snowe's seat relatively secure (though Hinck points out that "improbable wins have happened before"), but her bank account is bulging. The Portland Press Herald reports she has more than $2 million on hand.
• Speaking of tough mountains to climb . . . Now's the time to get outside and explore Maine's woods and trails — like I did this weekend, on the BIGELOW MOUNTAIN AND PRESERVE near Sugarloaf. (Note to self: If you're camping at the top, pack light. No, even lighter than that. Note Number Two: Remember that fires aren't allowed up there. Bring a camping stove or be prepared to eat cold meals.)
To aid in your summer adventuring, check out MaineTrailFinder.com, a one-year-old project that's the result of a collaboration between the Farmington-based Center for Community GIS, a mapping center, and the Canadian Quebec-Labrador Foundation, a non-profit that works in the Atlantic region to support conservation and stewardship initiatives. The site offers a free and interactive way to plan everything from easy day hikes to more strenuous overnighters. With the help of GPS and user-added content, they're adding trails and information all the time.
• And if aquatic trekking is more your thing, keep in mind that Outside magazine just voted the MAINE ISLAND TRAIL, a 375-mile waterway that stretches from New Hampshire to Machias, the nation's best sea-kayaking trail.

TUPELO – Dale Warriner will retire from the Tupelo Public School District in June after spending 25 years there as a counselor, principal and central office administrator.
During that time, Warriner led Mississippi's first public school to have the Internet in its classrooms. She also has overseen one of the most successful public school pre-kindergarten programs in the state.
"Mrs. Warriner has served our students with a steadfast dedication for 25 years and has shown a visionary leadership throughout that time," said Tupelo Superintendent Gearl Loden.
Warriner currently serves as the school district's director of federal programs, a position she has held for the last 17 years. For most of that time, she also was director of student assessment.
Warriner notified the district of her intentions in early March, and it already has conducted interviews for her replacement, Loden said. That hire could be named at today's school board meeting.
Warriner, 66, intends to spend more time with her husband, Richard, and her two children and four grandchildren. She also expects to volunteer in schools.
"I have loved every minute of working with excellent students, amazing educators and supportive parents," she said.
Her career in education began in 1968 when she taught seventh-grade science in Clarksdale. She also spent one year in Corinth and two years in Memphis before leaving the profession when her first child was born.
She returned to education in 1987 as a guidance counselor at Church Street Elementary School. She spent five years there and three as principal of Rankin Elementary School before moving to Central Office.
"She was always so supportive," said retired teacher Linda Franks, who taught under Warriner at Rankin. "If you needed materials, Dale would go out and help you find them. She was just there for the kids."
Rankin became the first school in the state to add Internet in 1995. Her work with federal programs included the Early Childhood Education Center, which is funded with federal dollars.

This morning, the Supreme Court ruled that a law that outlaws promoting or advertising -- "pandering" -- child pornography is constitutional and does not interfere with First Amendment freedoms. In the case, United States v. Williams, decided 7-2, the justices declared that there is no free speech right that protects "offers to provide or requests to obtain child pornography," even if (in fact) there is no pornography to be provided. Free speech expert and blogger Eugene Volokh explains that the case is actually more interesting than a simple child pornography case, as the court has, in his reading, recognized that the First Amendment does not protect solicitations (or offers) to commit a crime. He writes: "[t]rying to buy illegal drugs, for instance, by soliciting someone to
sell them to you is generally a criminal attempt even if the solicited
seller was only going to deliver fake drugs rather than real ones."
Wendy Kaminer wrote about this case on The Free For All back in November.

Work. Got an assignment with a temp agency, with the promise of more after it's done. It'll be nice to bring some money in.
Code. I've finally broken my coder's block---thank God. I never thought I'd stare at a blank screen again after I'd gotten up into thousands of lines, but any large-scale refactoring operation can cause the same feeling. The upside is that it's even more of a rush when it gets going... :-)

Thats a long title. Probably won't fit.
Probably most people dont mind their dogs barking a few times at strangers and people at the door, but we live in a place where I need me dog to be friendly with ALL strangers. My 6mo male lab has started to alert bark when startled or when strangers come by. He is easily hushed and only barks a few times....not some big problem. But I want him to sit and watch not bark at all. Anyone else have tips on steering this in a different direction while he is still little and its minor? So far we are just coreccting verbally for the barking and trying to reward quiet behavior if we catch it in time before the barks. Strangly my GSPs have all been really easy going and not bothered by strangers. Also I should add this pup as all my pups go around to tow and car rides and puppy class etc. Not isolated, and the issue is nor on leash out and about but mostly at home, in yard and some off leash with my husband at "the barn"

ABC has put on an update to Jack Webb's classic LA police drama "Dragnet", with Ed O'Neill as Sgt Joe Friday. The show airs Sundays after "Alias" and was developed by the "Law & Order" franchise's Dick Wolf. O'Neill, who is no stranger to TV crime dramas having acted in many of them before, during, and after he got the role that made him most famous (that of "Married... with Children"'s Al Bundy) brings a seething hatred of crime to this new role as well as a sense of believability of being a robbery/homicide detective whose entire life is his job. However, where the last, and possibly most famous, partner of the Jack Webb character was kindly old Harry Morgan as Bill Gannon, this new series partners Sgt Friday with a younger partner played by 24-year-old Ethan Embry (who at 12-years-old starred with Ed O'Neill in the 1991 comedy-drama "Dutch") which changes the dynamic and removes the personal feeling the original series had by Gannon relating tales of his home life with the all-cop all-the-time Friday. Where the original Jack Webb series (there were several incarnations) put forth a very specific style of cop show narrated by the lead character, this new series feels more like a Law & Order retread with Ed O'Neill's voiceovers in place of the "bumm-bumm" music and location text of the L&O series. Does that make it bad? No, but it doesn't make it "Dragnet" - this new series lacks the original's serious-yet-calm and authoritative tone, it uses the L&O style of jerking the camera around instead of holding a still shot on a character for intensity; however, what this series does have is an adult tone that almost no cop drama has matched of late, it's serious and doesn't hold back.
Ultimately, the series rests on O'Neill's shoulders and while Al Bundy certainly is no Jack Webb, perhaps Ed O'Neill can make this series his own thus creating a new rendition of the Joe Friday character; but he has to watch out for pitfalls on either side of him, fall too far towards one side and you end up being "Law & Order LA" without anything that made the original Dragnet great, too far towards the other side and you end up being another parody similar to Dan Akroyd's 1987 version.
Anyway, despite ABC's ridiculous "the badge is back" catchphrase which is insulting to the audience and the series, the holder of LAPD shield# 714 is definitely worth watching every weekend and hopefully ABC will keep it alive long enough to create a name and audience for itself.

By The Associated Press
PONTOTOC — The city of Pontotoc will rename a portion of North College Street in honor of Pontotoc native Ruby Elzy.
Elzy was a pioneer black opera singer who appeared on stage, radio and film. A native of Pontotoc, Elzy created the role of Serena in George Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess" on Broadway in 1935. She made her film debut opposite Paul Robeson in 1933's "The Emperor Jones" while still a student at New York's Juilliard School.
Elzy entertained at the White House in 1937 for First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and others.
She was one of the first inductees to the Mississippi Music Hall of Fame.
Elzy died in 1943 in Detroit at the age of 35 during an operation to remove a benign tumor.
Elzy is buried in Pontotoc City Cemetery.

Think about it: is texting while driving a smart move?
At some point, we've all heard some texting while driving statistics—and most of these highlight the dangers involved with the practice.
The statistics are actually pretty jarring. According to a joint site developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the State Attorneys General and the Ad Council:
- A driver who is texting is 23 times more likely to be in an accident than one who isn't
- When sending a text while driving, your eyes are off the road for an average of five seconds (at a speed of 55 mph, you can drive 100 yards in that span)
- Roughly 20% of fatal car accidents involve the use of a cell phone
- Distracted driving causes more American teen fatalities than any other cause
Texting while driving statistics reveal it's a widespread problem.
The same site also shows that:
- Nearly half of those younger than 35 years old read or send text messages while driving
- The typical teen who drives while texting sends 23 messages per month behind the wheel
- More than 50% of young drivers feel that it's easy to drive and text at the same time without losing their focus on the road
- About half of adults report they've been passengers in a car in which the driver was texting
Should there be laws against driving while texting?
Studies show that 85% of individuals who send or read texts while driving feel this matter is a problem, in general, and that doing so decreases their reaction time.
Some cities and even entire states have enacted bans on driving while texting, citing stats like the ones mentioned above to illustrate the dangers of this habit.
However, many people (including some law enforcement officials) feel that such rules are largely unenforceable and that trying to enforce these auto safety standards would in fact be a waste of time for police officers.
Regardless of how you feel about this matter, Advance Auto Parts encourages you to drive safely and responsibly at all times. And we carry a full selection of quality auto parts that can help increase your safety when you're on the road.

Public Works
Food Waste Program – Public Works Environmental Programs & Operations will be launching a Food Waste Program this month. The City will provide collection routes for food and compostable waste in CCUSD's five elementary school cafeterias beginning October 1. Recently, the District made a commitment to remove Styrofoam lunch trays and instead serve the children hot lunches on compostable paper plates. CCUSD will be the first customer participating in Culver City's Food Waste Program. The School District and its Green 5 Sustainability team have been working for the last few months to gear up for the start date in October. By not sending our food waste to the landfill, we are significantly reducing our school community's carbon footprint, as about 40% of our landfill trash is currently food waste and about 34% of greenhouse gas (GHG) methane in the US are emitted from our landfills. By keeping this organic material out of the landfill we reduce the creation of greenhouse gases, and by composting our food waste we return this valuable organic matter back to the soil to be used again. Our composted food waste will be delivered back to the community and back to our schools as nutrient-rich soil for our school gardens. We anticipate scheduling Compost Give Away Days for our whole community. To schedule a bin placement and to be added to the Food Waste route for your businesses, please contact Customer Service at (310) 253-6400. A representative will contact you to discuss logistics.

Rand Paul: The GOP needs to "evolve" on immigration
"You can't have open borders in a welfare state. We've got a pretty significant welfare state, so it's not just about normalizing the 11 or 12 million here, it's whether or not while you're doing that another 11 or 12 million come in, and I think that will bankrupt the country," Paul said. "So I am concerned, but I'm also open-minded enough to say that it is an issue that we do need to evolve on. But I'm not willing to be so much in adapting that I believe you allow people to come in without having a secure border and…letting people get to the front of the line."
Paul's twin concerns – a secure border and an exhaustive path to citizenship that doesn't allow illegal immigrants to leap-frog those who have already applied to come here legally – are the foundation of the argument Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has pitched to allay the concerns of skeptical conservatives. …
Paul on Wednesday took that idea further, proposing a yearly review of border security, so that if certain metrics are not met, Congress could vote to suspend the "normalization" process. Paul said this was necessary because in the past Republicans have traded amnesty for border security, but never received what they asked for.

Reality Check: Mistele Radio Ad In County Exec Race
Election Set For April 7
MADISON, Wis. - This spring election includes a heated race for Dane County executive. Challenger Nancy Mistele is taking shots at incumbent Kathleen Falk in a radio ad.
VIDEO: Watch The Report
Mistele focuses on public safety in the radio ad. WISC-TV put the claims made in the ad through a "Reality Check."
Public safety has been a big issue so far in the county executive's race. Mistele has been attacking Falk over her leadership, but WISC-TV found that the ad's claims on crime and Mistele's attacks on two programs need some explanation.
"I first noticed the change in Dane County watching the news stories about increasing violence," a narrator says in the radio ad. "Then the stories began about our failing 911 center, and then more beatings and unsolved murders. Was that due to growing population or neglect of public safety at the very top of county government?"
A WISC-TV analysis found this misleading.
Media outlets such as WISC-TV ours have covered stories like the recent slayings of Kelly Nolan, Joel Marino and Brittany Zimmermann, but statistics show violent crime across Dane County has not significantly increased.
According to the Wisconsin Office of Justice Assistance, the violent crime rate per 100,000 people in the county was 285 in 2006, 251 in 2007 and 261 in 2008. It should be noted that this includes crimes in jurisdictions like the city of Madison, over which the county executive has no purview, although the county's 911 Center serves them all.
"For instance, as the violence escalated, County Executive Falk used taxpayer money to bail criminals out of jail," the ad says.
A WISC-TV analysis found this claim needs clarification.
The "bailout" refers to the revolving bail fund implemented as part of the 2008 county budget, which isn't really a bailout but a loan as part of a pilot program passed by the county board.
The goal is to free up jail beds by allowing nonviolent, low-risk criminals that would make a court appearance within a few days to take a loan up to $250 to post bail.
From August to November of 2008, six people were released under the fund. Two failed to make court appearances and two were never charged with a crime.
In November 2008, Dane County District Attorney Brian Blanchard questioned the legality of the program. The sheriff suspended the program until the attorney general releases a decision.
"Now (Falk is) telling judges how to sentence, and that undermines justice and affects public safety," the ad says.
WISC-TV found this also needs clarification.
Mistele's referring to a proposal in Falk's 2009 budget that would cut funding for judges' staff lawyers if 45 inmates weren't placed in a new community service program. Falk said the courts weren't finding efficiencies in their budget, so she wanted to divert staff to this program.
When Huber work-release inmates do 24 hours of volunteer work, they earn a day off their sentence. If enough inmates don't participate, Falk would cut funding for judges' staff.
The county board liked the service program but rejected the idea of tying it to judges' staff and passed it in the 2009 budget.
The Dane County Sheriff's Department started giving inmates credit for service Feb. 1. So far, two inmates have participated.
The election is set for April 7.

By NEMS Daily Journal
CORINTH – Family and friends will say goodbye to Marine Cpl. Jacob Wooley in services this weekend in Corinth, and his memory will live on through a scholarship at Mississippi State University.
Wooley, 23, was killed March 21 inside the barracks at the Officer Training School at Marine Corps Base Quantico in northern Virginia. Others who died in the incident were Lance Cpl. Sara Castromata, 19, of Oakley, Calif., and Sgt. Eusebio Lopez, 25, of Pacifica, Calif.
"We have had so many people come to us and offer prayers and support and it's much appreciated," said Linda Wooley, Jacob's mother. "Our faith is very strong and we know that God welcomed Jacob home and we ask for your prayers to continue for our family and the other two families that are suffering along with us."
The Jacob Wooley Memorial Scholarship will be "a way to establish a legacy for Jacob, because he loved Mississippi State, especially Mississippi State football," Linda Wooley said.
Wooley attended Alcorn Central High School and Northeast Mississippi Junior College before joining the Marine Corps in February 2010. He served as a field radio operator and was promoted to corporal in July 2012. He received the Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and Sea Service Deployment Ribbon.
During the past three years in the Marine Corps, he was stationed for two years in Okinawa, Japan, and spent time in Thailand and the Philippines.
A member of Central Pentecostal Church in Corinth, Wooley had begun preaching before joining the Marine Corps, and had planned to dedicate his life to God and become a minister at the end of his enlistment.
"Jacob had a rare gift for making those around him feel special," Linda Wooley said. "His Marine Corps brothers said he had a light in him that few possess. He cared deeply for his family, God and country, and shared everything he had when he saw someone in need. Jacob always had a big smile for everyone, and never met a stranger. Jacob was quick to defend anyone who was being threatened or mistreated, and he became a Marine to defend his country."
Visitation will be held at Magnolia Funeral Home in Corinth from 5-9 p.m. on Sunday and on Monday at Church of the Crossroads from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., followed by the funeral at 1 at the church.
To Donate
The scholarship will be administered by the John Stallworth Foundation in Huntsville. Donations may be made to the scholarship fund through johnstallworth.com and an application for the scholarship is on the website or by contacting the foundation at 200 Pratt Avenue, Suite B-2, Huntsville, AL 35801.
