Sometimes the ground open ups and swallows cars, buildings or even people. This usually happens at features called sinkholes.
Why It Matters
- Limestone, gypsum and salt make up karst terrain.
- Florida is nearly all limestone so it has many sinkholes, but nearly every state has some.
- Sinkholes occur in other types of rock. They can even be caused by human activities.
- People have died and property has been lost into sinkholes.

Many of us have wanted to get in touch with an old teacher to let them know how they changed our life. But how about a former prison inmate who tracks down his old warden to say "thank you." In the 1950s Ramone Tapia made headlines for his escape attempts and leading a prison riot in the Nebraska Penitentiary. After the state hired a new warden, Ramone dropped out of the headlines. That was good news. Recently he shared his story with "Statewide's" Bill Kelly. It's a story of how the prison system changed, and how that changed the life of one man.

By Floyd Ingram/Chickasaw Journal
HOUSTON – The first shovels of dirt were turned Thursday on a new medical office building at Trace Regional Hospital.
RenRock Construction of Starkville will begin work on the 4,200-square-foot addition to the Medical Plaza Clinic today with construction expected to take eight to nine months.
The Medical Plaza Clinic to the east of the main Trace Regional Hospital building currently houses five clinics made up of four physicians and four nurse practitioners. The expansion seeks to ease crowding at the current medical center which houses five clinics.
The design of the new clinic will blend with the current Medical Plaza and fit neatly into space adjacent to the main building. In making the announcement, Gary Staten, CEO of Trace Regional Hospital, pointed out the visionary and pragmatic design of the Trace hospital campus.
"We are amazed at how the campus facilities are organized with the hospital in the middle, Floy Dyer Manor Nursing Home on the right side and the Medical Plaza clinic on the left side," said Staten. "This layout creates easy accessibility for all patient needs.
"Dr. John Dyer created this concept in the early 1960s and the principle continues to be relevant today," Staten added. "I think what makes this plan timeless is that Dr. Dyer always placed the patient as his major focus for design and care. As we move forward into this new age of care delivery, we can never lose sight of our primary focus, which is the patient's best interest."
The clinic addition will provide space for Dr. Edward Gore's practice and the addition of one nurse practitioner. Dr. Gore moved into the Trace clinic in 2009.
More than three years in planning, the clinic addition was originally slated for 2010, but national economic conditions delayed the project.
"I want to thank our community board, Debbie McGreger our clinic manager, and of course our doctors and staff for their input and effort in making this project happen," said Rick Huffman, Chairman of the Trace Community Board of Directors. "We are all in this together and I am pleased with the way this team looks out for and takes care of each other."
Members of the Trace Community Board of Directors are Huffman, Vice Chairman Hassell Franklin, Bob Scott, Bill Smith, James Casey, Shelia Bell, Barbara Fleming, Rev. Jimmy Washington and Dr. Jamie Castillo.
Trace Regional Hospital is one of five hospitals operated by SunLink Health Systems, Inc., across the Southeast and Midwest in addition to a specialty pharmacy company in Louisiana.
Each SunLink facility is the only hospital in its community. SunLink's corporate headquarters are in Atlanta.
SunLink's operating strategy is to link patients' needs with dedicated physicians and health professionals to deliver quality, efficient medical care in each community it serves.
Trace Regional Hospital is a fully accredited by The Joint Commission. Accreditation makes a strong statement to the community regarding an organization's efforts in providing quality services, performance improvement program and safety which can reduce risk, error or low quality of care.

Crowdfunding Success, Work In Progress
My SBCL crowdfunding campaign at IndieGoGo is over, with $16,507 raised and all goals met! (There were some folks who wanted to donate either after the deadline or via a different channel who aren't included in that sum, so the actual number is closer to $17k before IndieGoGo's, PayPal's, and taxman's cuts. I expect my final share to be around $12-13k after dust settles.)
Thank You, Everyone. I can't say this often enough. Your support has been overwhelming, and is greatly appreciated.
Sorting out all the perks is probably going to take most of today and tomorrow, then it's back to work on the project.
To summarize, here are the things that are going to happen, in the approximate order I expect to commit them. (This is a superset of the list at IndieGogo, because it includes some intermediate steps which are likely to get their own commits.)
- SB-THREAD:MUTEX outside futex-platforms to be built on top of userspace spinlocks. CONDITION-WAIT is also getting a userspace implementation when futexes are not available. This will fix interrupt-safety issues with locks on non-futex platforms such as Darwin and Solaris. (Done, merge pending cleanup.)
- CONDITION-WAIT, WAIT-ON-SEMAPHORE, and JOIN-THREAD in SB-THREAD, and RECEIVE-MESSAGE and RECEIVE-PENDING-MESSAGES in SB-CONCURRENCY to support timeouts and deadlines on all platforms. (Work in progress.)
- SB-THREAD:MUTEX to be renamed SB-THREAD:LOCK with similar renamings in the functions and macros. This is mainly motivated by the need for incompatible API-changes to lock acquisition and release. Old names will be supported for a fair while, being deprecated very gradually. Feature :SB-THREAD-LOCK can be used to detect the presence or absence of the new API.(Work in progress.)
- SB-THREAD::SPINLOCK to be replaced with the new LOCK object. Old names will be supported for a while, being deprecated gradually. (Done.)
- Locks outside futex-platforms are to be mostly fair by default. (Mostly done, bughunt in progress.)
- Read/write locks to be added to SB-THREAD or SB-CONCURRENCY. (Not started yet.)
- Sempahore notification objects to be added to SB-THREAD or SB-CONCURRENCY. (Not started yet.)
- Allegro-style gates to be added to SB-THREAD or SB-CONCURRENCY. (Not started yet.)
- CAS support will be extended to at least STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS, and made user-extensible. (Work in progresss.)
- Other threading API change/enhancement, to be specified later.
- A new portability library called Madeira will be implemented. I'll blog more on it once I'm starting to work on it in earnest. (Not started yet.)
- SBCL's big compiler lock will be removed, so that parallel compilation is possible. Again, I'll blog more on this when it's time. (Not started yet.)
I will update this post as work progresses.

Relase soon, release often?
This week is full of work at the office, "Oracles", "iAS", "Collab Suites" and so on... (this is going to kill me), and I don't have time to finish my Dbus protocol implementation, although it is almost 75% done.
I hope this weekend I will be able to stay in front of the laptop some time and get JDbus a step forward, where it is able to marshall (from a set of object) and unmarshall (to a set of objects) Dbus messages.
I'm also looking to do some images dissecting the protocol bytes of several message type wich will lead upcoming specification readers to understand how it DBus protocol works faster.

Winnie decided she wanted to be with her brother Kilmore. It has been a rough 5 weeks. Kilmore passed away, then we find out Winnie has liver and bone cancer. We could tell Winnie was not feeling well yesterday, but she ate, drank, and was going out on her own. She had a restless night and was sick a couple times thoughout the night. I told my husband before he left his morning that I felt like we both needed to stay home today. She didn't want to eat or drink this morning either, but we agreed to she what today brought. We both knew a decision was going to have to be made soon. I managed to get ready for trying to go into work even for half a day, but Winnie wasn't doing well. I had to call my husband and told him to get home. Tried calling the vet to have someone get to our house to help her visit Kilmore with ease. By the time I got the call back from the vet Winnie had already passed. We went from two great dogs to no dogs in our house. Having only one was adjustment, but none is going to be a lot harder. We had two great bulldogs and couldn't have asked for any better. Winnie was my snuggle buddy and her daddy's baby girl. Winnie and Kilmore will always have a special place in our hearts and will be missed.
Give all your bullies hugs and kisses!

Year-round service
Cayo Coco is a true tropical paradise, lined with white beaches and lapped by dramatic two-tone aquamarine waters. It welcomes visitors to its more than one dozen resorts, all of which sit right on the sea. Cayo Coco is separated from the Cuban mainland by a wide body of water known as the Bahìa de Perros (Bay of Dogs). It is also home to one of the largest colonies of pink flamingos in the world.
There are eight resorts on the main island and another four on its tiny neighbour to the west, Cayo Guillermo. Perfect for those seeking to get away from it all, these two islands have very little development on them besides the resorts. Less than 20 years ago, these islands were known only to local fishermen and to the coast guard that protected them.
Author Ernest Hemingway fished up and down the coast and wrote about it in his novel Islands in the Stream. Papa (as Hemingway was nicknamed) is still celebrated here. Playa Pilar, a beautiful beach on Cayo Guillermo, takes its name from Hemingway's boat. And the annual fishing tournament that takes place each October bears his name.
Cayo Coco is a place where you can choose your own adventure. Remain on the islands and explore the natural wonders through bird-watching tours and snorkelling excursions over the massive coral reef just offshore.
Kick up your heels at The Cave nightclub, or blast through coastal waters while piloting your own craft on a thrilling boat adventure. You can even hold a crocodile in your own two hands at the Parque Natural El Bagá, a 1,854-acre nature preserve on land reclaimed from Cayo Coco's first airport.
A short drive across the 27-kilometre causeway links these islands to mainland Cuba and takes you to a world filled with wonderful cultural experiences. Take a bicycle taxi ride on the bustling streets of Moròn, then visit the town's giant, bronze cockerel.
Head a little further down the road to the provincial capital of Ciego de Avila to see a Cuban cigar being rolled, or cheer on the hometown Tigers baseball team at Estadio José Ramón Cepero. Do as much or as little as you like—that's the beauty and luxury you'll find in Cayo Coco.

Shares of Sprint-Nextel (S) are down 5 cents, or 0.8%, at $5.68 after the company this morning said Japan's Softbank, owner of that country's third-largest cellular operator, would purchase 70% of Sprint for $12.1 billion, $8 billion of which would be in cash to Sprint shareholders.
The Street is looking favorably upon the deal, as far as the sell-side community is concerned, although an open question is whether Clearwire, Sprint's broadband wireless partner, 49% owned by Sprint, is going to become part of the deal. As of this morning, Sprint and Softbank executives said the deal makes no obligations around Clearwire and declined to speculate whether anything would be done about Clearwire as a consequence.
Clearwire shares are up 37 cents, or 16%, at $2.68, and rose as high as $2.96, clearly anticipating some benefit, if not now then down the road. Given the emphasis placed by both Sprint and Softbank on rolling out faster 4G wireless service, of the "long term evolution," or LTE, variety, it would seem Clearwire's network and spectrum might be important to the two. Sprint has already committed to paying Clearwire hundreds of millions of dollars for future LTE services, as noted in Clearwire's most recent 10-K.
In a note to clients this morning before the official Sprint announcement, Credit Suisse's Jonathan Chaplin, who rates Sprint shares Outperform, and doesn't formally cover Clearwire, writes that "the roll-up has begun" in wireless, predicting, "Softbank's investment will spark further consolidation, likely starting with Sprint's acquisition of Clearwire."
Further, Softbank will then "go after other independent carriers in a bid to create a wireless company that will rival AT&T and Verizon in scale," which is good for Sprint, but also good for wireless in general.
Chaplin lays out the shape of a Clearwire acquisition, as he sees it:
We believe Clearwire's spectrum is a tremendously valuable strategic asset with an intrinsic value of at least $4.50 / share. The market has clearly taken a dimmer view of this spectrum. As such, we are not sure how the market will respond to Sprint consolidating Clearwire. In the analysis below, we assume Sprint acquires the Clearwire equity it doesn't own in an all-stock transaction at a price of $4.50 / Clearwire share. We then assume that they call the $2.9BN in 12% 1st Lien debt that is due in 2015, resulting in pro forma equity value of $31.7BN and EV of $42.9BN. This assumes that the market gives Sprint $6.2BN in equity value credit for Clearwire. Clearwire would likely have an EBITDA loss of ~$629MM in 2012 (-158MM CS12 EBITDA – 471MM wholesale revenue) once you eliminate the revenue that Clearwire receives from Sprint; however, we think Sprint would be able to rationalize Clearwire's costs relatively quickly, reducing the EBITDA losses in half to ~$314MM. Sprint would trade at 5.6x our pro forma 2014 EBITDA estimate, assuming Sprint gets full value for Clearwire at $4.50 a share.
In a research note this morning, BTIG's Walter Piecyk,also writing before this morning's press release, maintains that Clearwire could be critical to a deal, not least because of the sharks circling Clearwire if Sprint doesn't pick them up:
To restate, there is no confirmation that gaining control over Clearwire is a condition of SoftBank's deal to buy Sprint but if it is, Sprint's competitors AT&T, Verizon and Deutsche Telekom or perhaps even future potential partners Dish Networks (DISH) or DirecTV (DTV) might consider launching their own tender for Clearwire's stock. Sprint's 48% equity stake could be a significant hurdle in completing a competing transaction. It has been previously reported, but not confirmed, that Dish may had already started building a position in Clearwire's debt. DirecTV had urged the FCC to require the sale of Clearwire's stock by cable operators as a condition for approval of Verizon's purchase of SpectrumCo. We believe that many in the communications are thinking about their 5 year game plan based on the maturation of the wireless industry, the over the top risk to linear programmers and the proliferation of smartphones which has accelerated the "move to mobile".

Okay so the question is is it wise to train while your dog is in it if it's on private land and no other dogs are around. I thought I read where it can make them a little more crazy than they already are.
Okay so the question is is it wise to train while your dog is in it if it's on private land and no other dogs are around. I thought I read where it can make them a little more crazy than they already are.
I've trained mine thru three cycles. Didn't notice any difference.
If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough.
Private land...are you on a secluded island? In the past whenever I had a bitch in heat I would see dogs in my yard that I had never seen before and I have always lived on private land.
Unless you train in the middle of a very large acreage I would be careful or you might end up with an unwanted pregnancy.

Trained our two girls while in heat many times. One acted normal, the other a little nutty. We trained alone on our property where the only thing I would worry about was a coyote. We made sure never to train without their e-collar during that time just in case some dog showed up and they were tempted by it - but that never happened. If you are not lucky enough to have land isolated from people (dog owners), then keep her very close.
I train with an e collar. She is not outside with out me or my wife watching her even when she is not on her cycle. I meant no other lab trainers around to screw up a male dog trying to be trainer
We train all the time in a group with male dogs when my girl is in heat. Great way to teach those boys to pay attention in training. We just make sure that we do not take her out of the truck when another male is out. Do you really think a pro will seperate the female in heat when training. She is on the truck with all the others and gets her time out just like they do.
I've got one that you cant tell any difference when she's in vs not, the other seems to lose focus a lot and is just not very sharp. Usually only lasts for a few days, we back way off, do some easy marks and a little ob work.

Freshman seminar applications due Aug. 11
Posted July 21, 2003; 04:45 p.m.
Members of the class of 2007 can explore the list of freshman seminars available and register online through Monday, Aug. 11.
Copies of the program booklet were mailed to incoming freshmen this week. Students are encouraged to apply for fall seminars using the online application.
Freshmen can find descriptions of the seminars and the electronic application form at the Program of Freshman Seminars Web site.
The freshman seminar program is designed to introduce students to the excitement and challenge of working in a small setting with a professor and fellow students on a topic of special interest to them. Almost universally, students say that their freshman seminar was one of their best academic experiences at Princeton.
This year, the University will offer 65 freshman seminars, each hosted by a residential college. Topics include: "How Science Happens: The Struggle of Discovery Against Dogma," "Hip Hop, House and Raves: Social Dance and Social Life in 21st-Century America" and "Islamic Movements in the Modern Middle East."

Crab vs shrimp flies for bonefish
I can't seem to get in the groove with crab flies for bonefish. I seem to get looks and not much more with crabs; my take/hookup percentage is much higher with shrimp flies. I've read that crabs should be manipulated much less, and I've tried stripping them every which way, from not at all to almost as fast as shrimp, but still, nothin' doin'.
I've watched the flats and selected reasonable combos, even going to store-bought flies such as beadys EP crabs, small Merkins, etc.
So, what's a good way to bring up one's crab fly bonefishing skills?
I've not done much with crab patterns on bones but the odd times when I did they worked great. Nothing special about the presentation but in each case there was eveidence of huge numbers of crabs in the area. One spot down in the yucatan was littered with millions of bleached fiddler crab shells. I aksed the guide, "what about a crab pattern?", he just shrugged, so I tied one on and the first fish nailed it. I've also had success with bigger crab flies (merkins etc) in deep water and the surf.
Josko -
I have a couple of crab patterns that area awesome on dem bones. Most recently a variation of a great crab Bob Berquist showed us in Acklins, and man did it work well. I did not use deerhair but rather made the body with alternate materials.
Also the small felt crabs have worked well for me in the past. I will post pics and a few tactics I've come up with for fishing them with good success.
or maybe I will post the pics and PM the tactics :)
I had the best luck when not moving the crab at all. Next was to move it only a smidge ... like a 1/2 inch ... more a shudder than a strip.
You are welcome to use the patterns I tied for Eleuthera ..... Turnaffee (sp) crabs, flexo crabs and small epoxy guys. They are just collecting dust up on my bookshelf. :)
A word of caution .... they didn't work very well for Bull Sharks. :eek:
If you're having good luck with shrimp flies, why bother with crab flies? :)
Just trying to broaden my optioons, I guess. I like to fish in order to become a better fisherman, and often tend to abandon a working method in order to try out something new.
Hot crabs here, hot crabs!
When I first began fishing for bones I almost strictly used shrimp flies, so of course I caught all my fish on those. However, a small trip to Eleuthera a few years ago started me on crabs. We found this nice bay that held fish. It was sandy, wadeable and the fish were biggish. I was able to get 1 early on with a Gotcha, but after that we couldn't buy a hookup. On the way back to the car we noticed all these potholes in the flat, each one with a little, tan crab in the bottom. That night we whipped up a some #6 crabs and the next time we hit that flat... it was money. You'd toss the crab a little ways in front of the fish, wait till they got near, give one 6-inch strip and stop. You'd clearly see the fish dart forward, tip up and eat. Setting the hook was merely a matter of smoothly coming tight with an easy strip.
After that I started fishing crabs more at home and there are certain times when they really get the majority of strikes. This can be especially true with big, smart fish that will spook at the constant stripping action you mostly use with shrimp flies. That can also be the problem: crab flies are harder to fish than shrimp since bonefish mainly want the crabs sitting still so you have to watch for the strike. You can't feel it like you can if you're stripping a Gotcha or something.
Just this last winter season I did very well on crabs, so much so that they were my go-to flies. I tied so many #6 Merkins that I coudn't stand it. So, I simplified. I lost the rubber legs and splayed feathers. My crabs now consist of a tuft of marabou, three strands of yarn, mini-lead eyes and a weedguard. So simple it's stupid, but it works. It's all in the way you move it.
I do bother with the bead eyes, and madam X some legs but then instead of the time-consuming spun deer I tie a tuft of mottled marabou for a shell and tie another.
Bob developed the "Acklins Crab" variation of the Turneffe Crab with elk hair. After a discussion with him in Delectable Bay at Felton's I tied up some of my "grizzly crabs" and they were key in my success when I needed a crab fly. In fact it was the only crab fly I needed for the rest of the week.
Marabou compresses to nothing while casting then puffs out to a very active and mobile profile even while at rest and that's why I went to it as well.
Your description of the strip and tip to tight sent shivers up my spine as it was just how I recall my own luck with a marabou crab.
a couple thoughts . . .
first, as for the "why bother with crab flies . . . ?" issue: based on my experiences on the flats, they are potent patterns, particularly for bigger bones, bigger stripes, and obviously permit. learning to fish them (where, when, how) is a fantastic skill to have if you're a flats fisher.
second, I think most folks don't know how to fish these flies which results in a negative perception. The references to not fishing them with too much movement (as described in above posts) are sound advice. I call it "hardselling" . . . just won't work.
third, I think a lot of crab flies are taken - ESPECIALLY with bones - and rejected, but never detected by the angler. Many strikes on crabs are entirely visual (this ties into the subtle twitch / hop softsell strategy). How many times have you gotten a mashed up pattern back from a bone (hook flattened to the side, etc), but never felt a thing?
fourth, unlike baitfish flies - which we want fish to eat right away - the longer a fish looks over a crab fly, the more likely it will take it. I know, this sounds odd, but most game just doesn't crash a crab fly. Do whatever it takes to hold the fish's attention (the subtle approach) and eventually it will eat.
last, don't bother with bottom-working crab flies if there is too much current - stick with the shrimp (baitfish for stripers). Crabs niether hold nor swing in currents - it's really tough to fish them effectively in these conditions (use lots of slack line to eliminate drag if you do).
The trick I've found with the crabs is to not move them much if at all. The reason I like them on Acklins is that the permit seem to show up on the flats and points at anytime there is enough water and they love small light colored crabs. The bones also charge the crab as it sinks, and if you let it "hide" they tail like nuts which is what is all about!
Why is it that when fishing a crab fly everyone fishes it differently than you do a live crab? When fishing a live crab in the keys, you toss out in front of the fish, reel in fast enough to keep the crab on top of the water and drop it when the permit comes to it, which it almost always does. Yet with a crab fly you toss it out let it sink and sit there.
The one permit I have caught on a fly was working a small coral head, the fly landed about 5' from it, I stripped and it jumped off and had the fly before it had gone a foot under the water. This after tossing many flies and letting them sink and twitch. with a short strip, without success.
I havn't fished crabs much for bonefish but it seems to me, especially with fish that are not tailing, that aproach would work well for bonefish in shallow water. A slow sinking crab that flees when the fish aproaches. If I was a crab I would not just sit there and wait if caught out in the open.
Has anyone ever tried a neutrally boyant pattern. One that will sink a few inches under the water and stay there? Lee Haskins makes a Shrimp Neutralizer that I am going to give a try for bonefish and permit on a trip in November. I want to see how it does. Seems like it would work well on shallow flats. You could cast well ahead of the fish and it would be easier for them to see than a fly sitting on the bottom.
Just some thoughts, looking for comments from the more experienced.
Perhaps with permit swimming crabs are more often eaten. I have caught them in Belize in 10-15 ft of water around coral as the crab fly is sinking and still quite a ways above the bottom. With bones however, stripping the crab other than to position it in the path of the fish often results in a flushed fish. When fishing the crab to tailing fish I wait until the fish stops tailing and starts to move. The crab should land softly about 4-5 ft in front of the fish and allowed to settle. If the bone sees the crab it is often rushed and tailed over. When the fish "quivers" he has eaten. With small shrimp (puffs, squimps etc.) however I like to put the fly right next to the tailer and give a short strip. Just my technique. I'll take 1 quivering, tailing 5 pounder at dawn on a crab to 20 intercepted fish on clousers.

FULTON – Freshman quarterback Griff Loftis (Mooreville) and freshman placekicker Tyler Jackson (Oxford) each earned Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) Player of the Week honors for their performances in Itawamba Community College's 24-23 victory over then No. 3 East Mississippi Community College on Saturday.
"We are very proud of Griff and Tyler for earning these honors," said ICC head football coach Jon Williams. "They both played well and were critical to our success in the game and we are certainly glad we will have both these guys back next season."
Loftis connected on 24-of-37 passing for 323 yards and two touchdowns with one interception, including completing seven-straight passes on the Indians' final drive of the game to set up the game-winning field goal. He also had one carry for nine yards on third-and-six play to keep a drive alive that set up the Indians' first touchdown of the game.
"This is a great honor," said Loftis. "I have a lot of great players around me that helped me throughout the season, but it was the way the team played that helped me get this honor this week."
Jackson booted the game-winning and career-long 43-yard field goal into the wind with 16 seconds left in the game while connecting on three-of-three extra point attempts to snap Lions' and NJCAA longest win-streak of 20 games and helped the Indians end the season on a three-game win streak.
"It's an awesome feeling getting this honor," said Jackson. "It was a total team effort that helped me get this honor."
ICC ended the season 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the North Division.

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Head golf coach Jeff Corkill announced that Molalla High School standout Janelle Ferlan has signed a letter of intent to continue her collegiate golf career at Oregon Tech.
Ferlan, a two-sport athlete at MHS, competed four seasons for the Indians volleyball and golf programs. Ferlan posted rounds of 76 and 80 to finish at 12-over-par at the 2014 district championships and followed that up with rounds of 78 and 80 at the 2014 OSAA 4A tournament at Trysting Tree Golf Course in Corvallis. Her 13-over-par 157 was good enough for runner-up honors at the state tournament, while leading her MHS team to their fifth-straight state title.
"I am very excited to bring in a top-level player of Janelle's caliber to our golf program," exclaimed Corkill. "She is a key piece in building a competitive women's program and will make an immediate impact in a highly competitive Cascade Conference."
Janelle is the daughter of Steve and Claire Ferlan and plans to major in business/marketing at Oregon Tech beginning this fall.

Holiday from HELL with accommodation badly over represented on website Run down motorway motel style main block situated on busy main road a long way from town with a dangerous/inefficient shuttle service(more later). All hotel rooms are in this block (not villa or cabins)and some overlook or are level with main rd. Balcony in our case was level with hotel entrance and main rd. Some rooms are in ground floor level with pool whilst others are on top floor with balcony overlooking pool and or road. Suggest you get confirmation of floor and if balcony overlooks pool. Suggest you forget it otherwise. We refused our family Suite on basis it was not what we expected as depicted on website. Wanted quite location and this was not one. Room was dark and bathroom had only small view of quiet pool area. Were offered room on top floor starting next day. Refused because of noisy location. Was offered Villa which was situated inside grounds and away from road up hill. Too big for us but we took it as booking was for 8 days and we didnt think we could refuse without loosing all monies. Bed linen in villa had animal dirt on it. Changed it ourselves as didnt think hotel staff would be helpful. Kitchen area in villa leaked when it rained and we were looked out twice due to faulty locks. Bit like Faulty Towers but not funny at 16000 baht for two of us!Villa did not appear to have been used for some time. TV reception was very poor. Asked reception staff why and told hotel was under new ownership and agreement not yet reached. Palm tree overgrowing sat dish at villa would not help. Offered to cut it down but overall hotel staffs very poor English made communications a bad joke in the end. Talking just led to confusion! B/f and restaurant ok as long as you didnt mind cats sitting watching you eat or rubbing against your legs. Shuttle service worked at times once needs were clarified however on one occassion shuttle was 30 mins late due to hotel overbooking(19.30 from town)and second time 12 people were waiting for max 4 seats in pick-up. 8 paxs stood/sat in pick-up. (Dangerous). My partner (female) and myself were verbally abused by this group and on arrival at hotel the situation deteriorated and almost became physically violent. Police should have been called. Hotel staff didnt do anything.Security Guard at hotel was useless and shuttle driver just hoped if he smiled and said sorry it would all go away. Demanded to be moved next day at no cost and was. Holiday from hell. Taking matter further. Suggestion: Don t believe what you see read and are promised on websites

Very nice hotel, very nice staff, excellent food. Located about 10 minutes by tuk tuk from Ao Nang this hotel is perfect for those who like to stay a bit away from the main tourist area and like to experience the famous Thai hospitality in its true sense. The resort is still very new, rooms are spacious and the pool size sufficient. Book a room facing the pool side as the other side faces the road. Free shuttle is provided three times a day at specific times, but for 100 Baht you can also book transfer individually. The resort has a nice spa area. Massages should be booked a few hours in advance. Guest in the resort represent a nice mix of all ages, European as well as Asian countries, families as well as couples and groups of friends. I would definitely book again. Thanks again to the Team at Phu Pranang for a great vacation!

Excellent Service. I made a last minute booking and the resort I chose turned out to be fully booked. Sawadee called up hotels and offered me an alternative which turned out to be an excellent choice.

Elevate beans to a new and delicious flavor level with a punch of chili powder and taco seasoning.
Instead of black beans, try pinto, navy or red beans to give this recipe different color and texture.
Rinse canned beans thoroughly to remove the starchy liquid and excess salt, then drain completely.
The dried beans in this recipe are precooked to make sure they'll be tender after cooking in the slow cooker.

By Adam Armour/The Itawamba County Times
Officials with the Fulton Police Department have arrested two suspects in connection with a string of television thefts from the local Walmart.
Investigators have arrested Jamiah Lee, 20, and Quentin Clifton, 27, both of Fulton, and charged each with grand larceny. The two men are accused of stealing numerous television sets from the Walmart Supercenter on Interchange Drive in Fulton in late January.
According to Brad Rogers of the Fulton Police Department, the suspects were identified using video surveillance footage captured at the retail store. Both suspects have received their initial appearances before Justice Court Judge Harold Holcomb. Their bonds were set at $5,000 each.
Walmart is currently working with local police to discover how the televisions were being taken from the store. Neither of the charged suspects is an employee of the store.
"We're certain this is not an embezzlement situation," Rogers said of the arrests.
Police are not certain of the exact number of televisions that have been stolen.
Rogers said investigators worked with one of the suspects to recover six of the stolen sets, which are estimated at a combined total of more than $3,500. The televisions were recovered from various locations both inside and outside Itawamba County.
The investigation is ongoing with the possibility of more arrests.

|Worldwide Flyfishing Discussion Talk flyfishing with members around the world!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Dble Haul
|That reminds me.....in some places, we're not too far away from the white fly hatch. Bring 'em on!
Huge Mayfly Hatch
I was at a local single A baseball game last night. The park is placed on the banks of the mighty Merrimack River here in Lowell, Ma. About the 5 inning, the air filled with a tan #18 Mayfly. I mean it was snowing theses guys. Some fans left after a few innings. They coated everything. In the lights of the stadium it w3as an awesome sight, like a snow storm. Millions of the suckers. Then some big white MAyflys mixed in- about a a size 14. The smaller guys slowed down and finally thinned out while the bigguns picked up. The hatch went on for at least 2hours.
I know what those smallies in the river were eating last night.
As for the game the Lowell Spinners went 16 innings, their longest game and then lost it...doh.

Yikes!! Lindsay Lohan is currently hospitalized here in SoCal because she was involved in a pretty serious car accident earlier today. Apparently, Lindsay's Porsche slammed into an 18-wheel truck on Pacific Coast Highway around 12pm PT. As far as I can determine, Lindsay isn't seriously injured but she is still hospitalized. Thankfully, no one else was hurt.
Lindsay Lohan was in a bad car accident and is in the emergency room at an L.A. hospital … TMZ has learned. Lindsay Lohan was driving her black Porsche on the Pacific Coast Highway when it slammed into the back of an 18 wheeler around noon. The Porsche is totaled. The passenger window was shattered and the bumper was fully off her car. We're told she did not go to the hospital by ambulance, although we are told an ambulance was called to the scene. No word on her condition, although we're told she seems ok. Doctors are performing tests … Lindsay was driving the car, and we're told she's saying that the accident wasn't her fault, claiming the 18 wheeler cut her off.
Head over to TMZ to see photos of Lindsay's damaged Porsche. They photos are pretty scary-looking so it's a miracle that Lindsay wasn't seriously hurt. It remains to be seen what, if any, injuries Lindsay suffered in this accident … it also remains to be determined who was really at fault. I'll be sure to update with new information as soon as it becomes available. Yikes.
UPDATE: Extra TV is reporting that Lindsay has been released from the hospital:
Actress Lindsay Lohan was involved in a major car accident Friday when her black Porsche collided with a dump truck on the Pacific Coast Highway in L.A. – but her rep says she is "fine" and back on the set of her Lifetime TV movie "Liz & Dick." Lohan's rep told "Extra" that "Lindsay was involved in an automobile accident today on her way to the set. She was taken to Santa Monica UCLA hospital as a precaution. She is fine and was released less than two hours later and is already headed back to the set to resume work. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the accident."
Well this is good news. Glad to hear that Lindsay is unharmed.0

Really, my life hasn't been materially affected by this credit crunch / recession / whatever so far. I've got a new job, but that was because I made a career shift. My house is worth more than I owe on it (probably) but my mortgage is only 21% of my take home pay, so I'm not struggling to make the payments. I have as much money (if not more) in savings as I did this time two years ago. My investments are down, but I'm in it for the long haul, so that has no real impact.
And yet, I feel like I'm matching the overall mood. I'm not so inclined to go out drinking, I haven't eaten out nearly as frequently as I used to, I haven't been to the cinema in months, and I am much less interested in international travel than I would normally be.
Some of this is because I feel the need to improve my house (to both increase it's value and to improve it's functionality as a home). I'm saving up for things like new bathrooms and boring fixes to the fabric of the place. I'm also trying to bump up my emergency fund – I never seem to get past the mythical £6k figure. (Around 4-6 months expenses depending on how frugal I could be.) And some of this might just be me settling down a bit as I approach my 30th birthday.
I'm thinking that on a personal note, it's not so much of a bad thing if I'm spending less and saving (and investing) more. For the economy, as a whole, it's not so brilliant – although the investing is good – but we're in a bit of a prisoners' dilemma. In any case, I'm not really cutting back deliberately, I'm cutting back because intuitively it feels the comfortable thing to do, and I can't think of a logical or objective reason to spend more.
Is anyone else spending less in the recession for no particular reason? Or have you felt the effects more directly and are adapting? I guess it's sort of consumer sentiment thing, but there must be a name for this sort of phenomenon. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Position papers: Coventry Local Schools Board of Education
David Andrews (incumbent) vs. Chris Davis vs. Raymond Rose Sr. vs. Tom Thompson (incumbent) vs. Robert Wohlgamuth (incumbent) vs. Charles Zittle
Voters living in the Coventry Local School District will vote for three candidates for Coventry Local Schools Board of Education in the Nov. 5 General Election. The race is nonpartisan. The information provided below was submitted by the candidates, with their responses to our questions printed as submitted. Incumbent Tom Thompson and Charles Zittle did not respond to our request for information by the stated deadline.
David Andrews (incumbent)
Why are you running for re-election to the Coventry Local Schools Board of Education?
"I am seeking my fifth term on the board of education for several reasons. I would love to see the current renovation and building project to its completion. I believe that my knowledge and experience on the board will be very important as critical decisions are made concerning these issues. Additionally, I strongly believe that the best interests of our children should be the guideline for decisions of the board and I always consider that in every decision I make with the board. Additionally, with new state mandates such as common core curriculum, teacher evaluations and other changes, I believe it is critical that our district maintain a high level of experience on the board of education."
What would be your top three priorities if you were re-elected? Why?
"My top three priorities would be as follows: 1. To maintain, develop and create the policies of the Coventry Local School district as mandated by the state. 2. I want us to continue the great improvements in the areas of curriculum development, technology, staff development, facilities improvements and fiscal responsibly. 3. I want to develop a better partnership with our community. Coventry Local Schools is a huge part of our community and we need more business and community partners to make the Coventry Comets shine even brighter."
Chris Davis
Why are you running for a seat on the Coventry Local Schools Board of Education?
"I am running for Coventry's Board of Education because I believe I can make a positive contribution to improve our schools and benefit all district students.
"I was first drawn into district politics last year when I attended a levy meeting to understand the 'We want a red dot' signs I'd noticed scattered throughout our community. No one seemed to know what they meant. Attending that first meeting introduced me to our current state of district affairs.
"I have two young children, one currently attending Coventry schools and one who soon will. A common sentiment I heard at levy meetings was 'your/my kids will be the first to attend/graduate/benefit from a new high school.' I have not heard similarly proud comments about the prospect of moving our youngest students into our current high school located on one of Coventry's busiest streets. I would like to be a voice on the Board promoting long-term plans to ensure all our students have an opportunity to be taught in an optimal-learning environment.
"I also would like to ensure our students have the best opportunities to take advantage of advances in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Coventry has a fantastic STEM program for early-elementary students. As a member of the Board, I would like to work with teachers and administrators to champion resources and funding opportunities to continue and expand this program to reach older students."
What would be your top three priorities if you were elected? Why?
"My top priorities upon taking office would be to (1) promote an optimal-learning environment for all students, (2) integrate district activities with our unique historical and ecological heritage, and (3) mend fences with district residents following years of divisive levy battles.
"As plans move forward to design a new high school, the long-term improvement of other schools has not received similar focus. For example, Turkeyfoot Elementary School has a three-acre playground. The play area proposed for K – 5th elementary students at the current high school is less than half an acre. Similarly, common sense, practical experience, and academic research demonstrate the importance of natural light for increasing student performance and productivity. The current high school has no classroom windows.
"Our district sits in a unique location with a direct connection to our Nation's history. The Portage Lakes were constructed in the early 1800s to provide water to the Ohio and Erie Canal. They continue to provide an unprecedented opportunity for outdoor learning in both the arts and sciences. As a member of the Board, I would like to expand outdoor learning space, access to lake-front activities, and sustainable design.
"Finally, residents have battled in recent years to increase funding for Coventry schools. Mixed feelings remain. I would like an opportunity to talk with residents, as a Board member, and increase district-wide efforts to obtain outside funding to support tax-payer dollars."
Raymond Rose Sr.
Why are you running for a seat on the Coventry Local Schools Board of Education?
"As a resident of the Coventry Local School District my entire life, I decided to run to provide residents the opportunity to ask questions and to provide the answers to many issues that are affecting this district. Residents have a right to ask questions and obtain thorough answers from our elected Board members and school appointees without being silenced or told their three minutes are up. District officials have an obligation to respect the differing views of residents and provide the answers to these questions.
"Our students deserve leadership that will be open and honest in communicating the needs of the district, without unwarranted threats and cuts to their education and extra-curricular activities because management has not made good decisions and spent tax dollars wisely. We are molding out children to be leaders of our future, and it is critical that they are led by good examples. What we watched in the May election by school employees condoned libel, slander and even vandalism because people challenged the decision and actions by this current administration.
"I will work to unify our community and address the disparity in funding in this district compared to other neighboring districts. In addition, the unconstitutionality of existing school funding through property taxation needs challenged at the state level, and we need to organize as a community to get this heard at the State level. Residents deserve leadership who will not become complacent once new levies are passed until these funding issues have been addressed."
What would be your top three priorities if you were elected? Why?
- "I am running to ensure that the board has someone with the knowledge of how schools are built. I have been the Senior Mason Foreman on many schools built in this area. These schools opened on time, came in under budget and the floors didn't vibrate.
- "An effective School Board member doesn't 'rubber stamp' the Superintendent's proposals, but takes the time to ask hard questions to assure our residents that decisions are evaluated and discussed for the best of our students and this district. I've attended over a dozen Board Meetings and Board members have never disagreed with the Superintendent. We have to stop putting money in the old, outdated buildings and sell them now. School officials have an obligation to stop the excessive spending on unwarranted expenses and utilize them as a business would in a cost effective manner.
- "There are still many unanswered questions about open enrollment and its impact on our children and residents. If elected, I will assure residents that these questions are fully answered and that a re-evaluation is undertaken. Coventry open enrolls 800+ students. It is Coventry's residents who are burdened with the additional $3,100 cost for open enrollment students. I believe in open enrollment, but only to fill empty seats. It isn't the taxpayers' responsibility to provide the additional building space for these children too."
Robert Wohlgamuth (incumbent)
Why are you running for re-election to the Coventry Local Schools Board of Education?
"I am running for re-election to the Coventry Board of Education so that I can see through to completion the renovation of our facilities and the construction of a new High School. As one who worked very hard for the passage of a bond/PI levy to renovate our schools I would like to continue to be involved in completing this project for this community and for the children of Coventry Schools. In addition to this, I want to continue working to keep our District Excellent with Distinction in order to provide the students the very best education in the area and in the State. I have a vested interest in this school system as a former graduate of Coventry Schools, plus 3 children who graduated from Coventry schools and now a granddaughter in first grade. I want to continue to fight for all the children of Coventry to provide them the very best education along with the very best learning environment available. I am one who is very proud of our community, schools, staff and students. I have been an advocate for children for many years and want to continue to fight for the very best for the children of Coventry Schools."
What would be your top three priorities if you were re-elected? Why?
"My top three priorities would be to continue to work to keep our schools at the highest rated level in the State, to follow through with the renovation of Coventry Schools and construction of a new high school, and to continue to look for and fight for alternative revenues from the State and Federal levels.
"The Board has worked very hard with our Administration and Staff to insure we have a top rated school district (as graded by the State of Ohio), so that Coventry School's students receive the very best education available. We must continue to work to maintain this high level of excellence in order to continue to offer a challenging and sound education that meets the criteria set forth by the State of Ohio.
"Our District has worked very hard over the years to pass a long needed Bond/PI levy to improve our facilities and take advantage of available funds from the State of Ohio. With this issue now behind us, I want to be a part of this renovation and construction of a new High School to insure that everyone's voice is heard in upgrading our school facilities. It is very important that the community, staff and students have input to our new facilities and are kept up-to-date as construction and renovations begin to transform our school facilities.
"Third, we need to continue to seek out and support other revenue streams to generate money for our district rather than relying continuously on property tax."

This universal radiation warning sign is easy to recognize. That's a good thing, because radiation exposure can cause serious health problems, including cancer.
News You Can Use
- We aren't normally exposed to dangerous levels of radiation. However, accidents at nuclear power plant or acts of terror could put us at risk. Is there anything we can do to reduce the danger?
- Actually, there is. In cases of exposure to the radioisotope iodine-131, we can take pills containing the ionic compound potassium iodide (KI). Watch this short video to learn how potassium iodide can protect you from radiation:

Learn more about radiation risks and the benefits of potassium iodide at the links below. Then answer the questions that follow.
- What is potassium iodide?
- What protection does potassium iodide confer on people who have been exposed to radiation? What limitations does it have in terms of protecting people from radiation?
- When there is a nuclear disaster, there is likely to be a lot of iodine-131 in the environment. How does the iodine-131 get into the body?
- Explain how potassium iodide protects the thyroid gland from iodine-131.
- Who is most at risk of injury from iodine-131?
- Who should not take potassium iodide to protect from iodine-131?
- Iodine is added to sodium chloride (NaCl), or table salt. It is called iodized salt. Why won't iodized table salt protect your thyroid gland from iodine-131?
- If a nuclear disaster occurs, when should you take potassium iodide?
- Why should you not take potassium iodide just as a precaution, say, as a dietary supplement?
