Categories Comments Great for these types of students Any and all students who want a great education. I would say a student who is serious about learning yet likes to have fun. NSCC is serious about education but everyone there is happy and likes to find new, fun ways to learn. Anybody who likes to be apart of a community, or likes to get involve. Even if you've never been involved before! NSCC makes you feel comfortable to feel like you can be apart of something. It's all about being stress-free as well as keeping a safe, healthy, and sustainable environment to learn in. I would highly recommend NSCC for anyone and everyone looking for a place to learn.
Tips for prospective students If I had any advice to give it would be: Remember to Breathe. Take care of yourself. Be respectful to yourself, others and the Earth. The teachers and staff at NSCC are always around to help you out, so never be afraid to ask for advice or questions. I have never felt so much at home on a campus before. And if you ever feel like there's nothing to do, think again! NSCC has a bunch of clubs and new projects always taking place. We love to see new faces getting involved. It's a lot of fun, you become a part of a family, and we get to leave knowing we've inspired someone else's life.
Bang for the buck AMAZING education for the price you pay (compared to all the other colleges). Though, books are cheaper on Amazon than in the bookstore, of course! I absolutely recommend NSCC. Even if you just come for a year, then transfer! It's great because you're getting a very valued education for half the price you'd be paying at any other colleges.
Am enjoying being here I Love North Shore!! What an amazing place to continue your education. Amazing teachers, facility and staff - and of course as well as the students. Everyone is here to learn and help others learn along the way. I am exceptionally proud of the new Sustainable building that just opened and the constant drive to push for more recycling. NSCC is very involved not just in the school, but in helping the communities around each campus too. You find you can really get involved :)
Am learning a lot I love my teachers!! They are so inspirational! They get you to understand what they teach, not just guide right through the materials. I have always found that once a class is over, I leave wanting to change myself and change the world for the better. So inspiring and intelligent people. They have really encouraged me to pursue my dreams, and have even created new branches for me to follow as well.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are serious intercom techniques they they use, and test, every semester.
What to do for fun Lots of stuff to do, outside of campus.
Food and Dining The cafe food is great! However, not the healthiest.
Dorm Life No on campus living.
Academic Rigor All depending on your major, the classes can be challenging. However, professors are very helpful.
Tips for prospective students Learn your course of study very well, this way, when you talk to advisers, you can fairly challenge their opinions, and ask intelligent questions.
In three sentences North Shore is the ultimate melting pot, it obtains students from all backgrounds, and personalities. When it comes to classes, the school has a wide variety, however the semester planning could be better. As for sports, they could use more active promotion, for you don't really know when to sign up, etc.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Very nice campus police officers. Makes me feel safe that they are here at all times. It is unfortunate that they are unable to bear arms though. If we have an active shooter on campus they are limited in what they can actually do to protect employees and students.
Clubs and Activities TRIo Women in Transition PHI THETA KAPPA
Great for these types of students English as a second language students. High school graduates.
Bang for the buck I have received my Associate's degree here and am able to transfer over to a four years school as a junior. I strongly suggest students attend a community college to get a feel for the college atmosphere and at the same time get the general education courses out of the way so they can concentrate and not loose motivation to study their program of interest when they move on.
What to do for fun North Shore Community College has many, many opportunities for students to get involved with clubs, events and daily activities. The student life office has trips where they had volunteer students, staff and professors go to New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina occurred and helped build homes. We have a gym and basket ball court on the Lynn campus. We have a student center on the Danvers campus where students can play ping pong, play video games and watch movies.
Food and Dining On the Danvers campus the food selection is much wider and there is much more healthy choices available. On the Lynn campus it is geared primarily geared towards fried food unfortunately.
Academic Rigor The academics are not that rigorous. Professors are very passionate and student driven. If you attend, do the homework and communicate with your professors regularly or when you are struggling you will succeed. They like to see students try their best.
Tips for prospective students Apply for Financial Aide before May 1st every year. Sign up for orientation(if your a first time college student). Meet with an academic advisor for questions and help registering for the correct courses appropriate for your program of study. Meet with our transfer counselor when it is time and you decide to transfer.
In three sentences North Shore Community college is a grate school to begin you academic career. They offer a MASS Transfer benefit that is worth looking into. You can cut 2 years of course work out (transfer as a junior) if you continue to a four year state college/university and you receive a percentage off tuition if you qualify.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The Lynn campus has installed new doorknobs on all the doors in the buildings that will make it easier for everyone in the bulding to be safe if there is ever an emergency inside or outside the school. However, I'm not too sure how it works or it it will work like they hoped it would.
Clubs and Activities Multicultural club, student newspaper called The Pennon, TRiO, etc. There is a list of all the clubs and organization that NSCC offers. There are so many to choose from. You can also submit a request to start your own club or organization that is not already offered at NSCC.
Great for these types of students NSCC is great for students looking to cut down the cost of their education. You can get your associates degree here then transfer to a 4 year school as a junior to complete your bachelors degree. It's also great for returning students or older adults who haven't been in school for years.
Bang for the buck North Shore is a very affordable school with great payment plan options.
What to do for fun For fun, you can join a club. I know that the multicultural club does lots of fun activities. If you're taking classes at the Lynn campus and have time between classes, you can walk down to Lynn beach. It's great for a quick run or to just sit on a bench overlooking the water and study. There's not many fun things to do on campus, though.
Food and Dining The cafeteria at the Lynn campus is pretty small but the food is good. I like that they have fresh fruit that you can buy. There s also a salad bar with lots of options. I usually only eat salad or fruit but I know that they offer chicken and fries and I beleve pasta.
Dorm Life There are no dorms at this college.
Academic Rigor I can't speak about other majors but the coursework for the Early Childhood Education field is very tough. It's a lot of work and long hours doing projects and homework. The instructers are wonderful and very helpful.
Tips for prospective students My only tip for prospective students is to try to get a comprehensive health insurance plan because the plan offered at NSCC is over priced and the plan doesn't offer much coverage.
In three sentences North Shore is an excellent school to earn you associates degree. They offer a variety of helpful resources for academics and financal need. I reccommend this school to anyone.

Categories Comments What to do for fun It's right on route one, so there are many things to do on your breaks if you know the area or commute. Usually when I have my two hour breaks, I will go get something to eat, hit the mall, or go for a coffee run.
Food and Dining Cafeteria food? can't get much better.
Dorm Life None
Academic Rigor Can be challenging, all depends on your major. But, the tutoring center is amazing, and everyone there has been very helpful.
Tips for prospective students Keep an open mind when applying for college, nobody is going to look down on you for going to a community college. But just because it's a community college don't think you'll be getting a free ride and breeze through the classes, it is the same difficulty and needs the same amount of attention as any other school.
In three sentences North Shore has probably been the best decision that I made when applying and enrolling into college. I feel that i am getting the same education as state schools for a fraction of the cost. Not to mention, all of the professors that I've had are extra friendly and willing to help.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Great for motivated individuals who want to learn and actually be at school.
What to do for fun My main purpose was to be there to learn, but they do have clubs at the school that one can join and be apart of.
Food and Dining The cafe is cozy and the food is made fresh, but somewhat expensive- like most colleges.
Dorm Life There are no dorms.
Academic Rigor It is no joke like numerous individuals may think because it is a community college; honestly, you will get a great education if you put in the time and want to be there.
Tips for prospective students I highly recommend the college as an option to take classes until you are sure you know what you want to have as an intended major. You will get a great education at a affordable price!
In three sentences Very well run and organized. Has a beautiful new campus with amazing teacher willing to help you succeed. The school is affordable and is a fantastic place to get a great education.

Clubs and Activities What they have to offer students is quite amazing i you ask me.. They have everything from culture to inside and out side clubs.. But not just our the student our families are always welcomed as well

What to do for fun There are plenty of groups to your liking that are available.. There is yoga dance book club athletic club there are different kinds of culture groups. I guess it depends on what you like. i also have seen situations where if it's not offered the staff are always willing to consider.
Food and Dining If you attend this school you have to try the BL T'S. The staff is amazing. The work area is always clean and sanitized. The food is always freshly cooked to your liking. The cafeteria s always cleaned with the most amazing view and comfortable setting.
Dorm Life I live off campus.
Tips for prospective students I attended this school thinking that I was alone. I was all wrong I have now been here since 2010 pursuing my career. There are so many options. The students are more than willing to help. They offer help around the clock. They help keep you motivated when you think that you can't. There are over a dozen of support groups if you don't understand. They have child care,flexible schedule's..etc
In three sentences This school is life changing. This school is motivational. This school has a a variety of ways to succeed.

Dorm Life There isn't any dorms around but a lot of apartment buildings, who gives low rents to students who attend here.
Academic Rigor Some professors challenge you, others will be a breeze because they teacher easier.
Tips for prospective students Always look up your professors. Talk to your advisers. Online courses are 20% teacher and 80% you.
In three sentences It is a great and easy pace college for those who are too scared to go too far from home. There is a ton to do around here; clubs, activities, and classes. Also, join Trio!

DEAR ABBY Feb. 2: Co-ed fears parents' response to boyfriend she met online
DEAR ABBY: I'm a 20-year-old college student with a great job, life ambitions and parents who love me. They raised me to think for myself and follow my dreams.
I didn't date much in high school, but a few months ago I met a wonderful young man who is in the Army. Two things about this relationship are different: First, we met on the Internet, communicated online for several weeks, then took the next step to meet in person. The second is, "Jack" is 10 years older than I am and has a son from a previous marriage.
Jack is stationed not far from me. When I met him, I realized he was everything a woman could want. I did a background check and everything he told me is true. He supports me fully in pursuing my degree and my future career. But I'm afraid to introduce him to my parents because they're old-fashioned. They are leery about people meeting on the Internet. They also want me to meet a guy closer to my age.
The more Jack and I are together, the more I realize how much I love him. I want to introduce the man I love to my family. How do I proceed with this? I am scared that my parents won't accept Jack. How can I get them to accept my choice? — DETERMINED IN THE SOUTHWEST
DEAR DETERMINED: Your relationship with Jack appears to be progressing at warp speed. If you want your parents to accept him, you must give them an opportunity to get to know him — and the same applies to you because this romance is fresh.
As you communicate with your parents, start mentioning Jack. Tell them he is a member of the military and how you met. Meeting someone on the Internet these days is very common and nothing to be ashamed of.
The longer you continue keeping his existence a secret, the more concerned and disappointed your parents will be when you spring him on them. They will want to meet him and you should introduce him. After that, the selling job will be his. Keep your cool. You are your parents' little girl and always will be. But the decision of who you'll wind up with is your own to make, not theirs.
DEAR ABBY: Most people recognize chest pain as a symptom of heart attack, as well as pain or numbness in the arm or shortness of breath. But did you know that a feeling of "doom" or back pain could also be signs of a heart attack?
An article in our local paper reported that most people do not recognize other warning signs of a heart attack. They include: a sense of doom, back pain, sweating, nausea or vomiting, dizziness or lightheadedness, weakness, fatigue or malaise, and jaw or neck pain.
My mother, age 87, who had never had back trouble and hadn't strained her back muscles in any way, suddenly developed back pain that the usual over-the-counter pain pills couldn't stop. Two days later, the pain moved to her chest, and that's when we took her to the emergency room. We would have gotten her there two days sooner if anyone had told us that heart attack pain could begin in the back. Please, Abby, let your readers know these other symptoms. — THANKFUL READER IN OKLAHOMA Continued...
DEAR THANKFUL: Forewarned is forearmed. I'm printing your helpful letter for all to see. Thank you for wanting to alert others to the sometimes subtle warning signs of a heart attack. Your warning may have saved some lives today.
Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

One of the mayor's top priorities is to get the schools back on track so children can return to class and voting can take place next Tuesday. But the majority of schools remained remained shuttered and officials announced they'd be closed the rest of the week.
"I can't even calculate all the overtime," Moccia said. As for the overall cost to the town, "I don't know if it's $10,000 or $1 million."

And he's still blaming the book's cover for its failure to become a best-seller:
This argument does not and cannot get Win8 off the hook: the decline in PC sales has accelerated since Windows 8 came out. And as we know, orders for the Surface have been scaled back. So there appears to be NO segment of the market (desktops, laptops, tablets) where any kind of success is occurring that could be credited to Windows 8.
My ongoing localized, anecdotal observations jibe with these general trends: despite it being the Christmas shopping season, the computing departments (including tablets) at a variety of stores are looking like ghost towns.

This is a joy to use, it's accurate and looks gorgeous . I keep mine hanging on the wall where I can always grab it quickly. Sturdy frame, easily readable dial and good ergonomics for right or left hand. Glad I got this tool!
I've been using this wonderful thickness caliper for over a year on my mando soundboards and backs. It is designed specifically for that task, and does it well. Recently, the tool fell to the floor from about 2 feet. When I picked it up, the dial indicator wouldn't work correctly, even though the words "shock proof" are printed on the face. I didn't want to put the same quality dial indicator on this great tool, so I ordered a very high quality one. i now have a "tricked out" thickness caliper, that's even better than ever.
Very well made and accurate- just wish the throat was deeper so you could get it into an assembled instrument....
Well made, accurate and reasonably priced (the same tool in Europe is twice the price of this one).
The Graduating Calipers are a fantastic deal . They are solid and work accurately. I am a machinist by day and use tools everyday, for the money this is a fine choice.
Several luthiers suggested that thickness calipers are not really necessary. You can make one out of wood or some other homemade version. However, since voicing the guitar is a direct funcion of thicknessing the top, I decided to purchase the StewMac calipers. I do not regret that decision. I now believe that if you are serious about making a quality instrument, one of these calipers is a must. If you cut corners here, I think you will be sorry later.
As someone who works in metric sizes I am very pleased with Stewmac's latest addition to their measuring instruments. Measuring in small sizes is easier for me in millimetres rather than thous and decimal inches. But I suppose it is what you are used to. The instrument is light easy to use and looks an item of proper quality
I'm very happy with my recent purchase of the StewMac caliper...I own two other calipers that I use in violinmaking but this one I really like and will usefor a long time...I was surprized when I opened the package to see such a well made and affordable tool...I would recommend this to anyone who is serious about violinmaking...an excellent calpier Bravo!
A tool that you wonder how you managed without it, half the price of similar calipers in the U.K, accuracy is the key in this game, so another must have item for the toolkit..
My Thickness Caliper has proved invaluable and extremely accurate in preparing my Soundboards and backs so much so that I have no hesitation in recommending this unit.

The Federal Housing Administration has exhausted its reserves, forcing it to institute another round of measures to shore up its finances.
The government agency's capital cushion plummeted to -$16.3 billion at the end of fiscal 2012, according to a study prepared annually by an independent actuary. FHA is scheduled to present the assessment, along with its annual report to Congress, on Friday.
FHA's continued financial troubles may force it to ask taxpayers to bail it out for the first time in its 78-year history. This specter has haunted the agency since 2009, when it first reported that its reserves fell below the threshold of 2% of its loan balances mandated by Congress. The ratio now stands at -1.44%, down from 0.24% last year.
FHA's financial health is being closely monitored because of the vital role it plays in the housing market, particularly during crisis times. The agency doesn't make loans, but it backstops lenders if borrowers stop paying. With this guarantee in place, banks are more likely to offer mortgages to borrowers with lower credit scores or incomes. It also allows prospective homeowners to buy property with downpayments as low as 3.5%.
Last year, FHA insured nearly 16% of home purchases, up from 14.6% a year earlier. In 2010, it had a 19.1% share. During the housing boom, its share hovered in the low single digits. The agency is also vital for minority buyers, backing roughly half of the home purchase mortgages taken out by blacks and Latinos.
Despite the reserves deficit, agency officials insist a bailout might not be needed. The lack of reserves does not mean that FHA has insufficient cash to pay its claims or requires an immediate infusion from the Treasury, according to a statement issued late Thursday by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which oversees FHA. The actuarial report said there is only a 5% chance the agency will run out of cash in the next seven years.
The decision about whether FHA needs an infusion will be determined by the calculations used in President Obama's fiscal 2014 budget proposal, released in February, according to HUD. A final decision would not be made until next September.
The HUD statement also pointed to the $11 billion FHA expects to gain from new business in fiscal 2013, which began in October, and to a plan that will add "billions of dollars" to its reserves in coming years.
On Friday, HUD announced a series of changes designed to avoid costly foreclosures, which will improve the FHA's financial position. They include increasing sales of distressed loan pools, further lowering mortgage payments through its foreclosure prevention program and expanding the use of short-sales.
FHA will also increase its annual insurance premium in 2013, which will raise borrowers' costs by $13 a month on average. In addition, it is reversing a policy that eliminates the requirement for borrowers to pay premiums after their loan reached 78% of their original value.

This is a Transparent Black iPhone 4S Replacement LCD + Touch Screen Digitizer Glass. So, basically its the front replacement ( Glass/ Touch Screen + LCD). You will see alot of retailers selling these parts seperately, but the truth is.. that the LCD must be glued to the touch screen a certain way. This is nearly impossible for anyone to do. So, if you have a broken touch screen you must purchase this whole replacement assembly to fix the problem. This also replaces broken or damaged LCD's aswell.

It's an intriguing thought. Website owners and developers alike spend a great deal of time considering what CMS to use, but that's not the most important part, as I came to realize at this year's CMS Expo.
The 7th annual CMS Expo began this morning at the Hotel Orrington in Evanston, although the fun began last night at our Chicago DotNetNuke User Group meeting, also held here. I'll tell you what happened last night, and what's in store for the Expo.

I'm presenting along with several other business today. Here are my slides.
I attended today's DotNetNuke Webinar on Nebula – now known as DNN Social. We first learned about this exciting product at DNNWorld 2012 so we kind of knew that it was coming. Well, today it was announced and what a great product announcement it was! Navin Nagiah – CEO, and Will Morgenweck – Director Product Management, from DotNetNuke Corporation gave the presentation via Webinar today.
"Every day Internet users share 4 billion items on Facebook, 200 million items on Twitter and 1 billion items on Google+. Social has become a fundamental aspect of Internet life with over 90% of online adults using the social web daily."
We have been planning a server move for many months. Well, we had been planning to move one of our production servers this weekend, and the other one in a couple of weeks. However, communications went out to all our clients that this was the weekend of the move so we just moved both servers at once. I was a little nervous about this at first, as there were a total of four DotNetNuke installations to move, but in hindsight, I'm glad that it's done now. There were domain names to coordinate and A records to change, moving many gigabytes of customer information including multiple SQL server databases (DotNetNuke and non-DotNetNuke alike) and a hundred other small things, but Don and I just rolled up our sleeves and...
There are certainly many cool new modules out there for social interaction. And then there's the tried and true ones. Like Forums, for instance.
Forums let you know via email if a new post has happened. Not yet so with the new 6.2 journal. But the journal has a really simple way to add a photo to a post, and the forum has image manager, very powerful but way overly complicated for a quick forum post. We'd like to change that, with the help of the DNN community.
Shaun Walker, the original creator of DotNetNuke, gives his keynote address at DNNWorld 2012.
Hear what he has to say about all the bells and whistles that are included in Version 7. This latest and greatest version of DotNetNuke has a healthy emphasis on Mobile and Social online interactions.
Like a lot of small businesses, Sprocket Websites sometimes suffers from the "Shoemaker's kids have no shoes" syndrome. We spend a great deal of time working on our customer's websites. From building new sites, to updating existing sites with new looks or functionality, to creating and posting new content and social media updates. It keeps us busy to say the least and sometimes we go a while working in the business before we can get back to working on the business a bit. Well a new module update spawned a whole bunch of work for me on our own website.
"I don't always program on a DNN site, but when I do, I prefer Script Injector." Would the Most Interesting Programmer in the World say this? Probably not, but it IS a good tool.

Is there a module for that? The one I chose was Script Injector, and rolled up my sleeves...

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
(GIST; Tumor, Gastrointestinal Stromal; Gastrointestinal Stromal Sarcoma; Gastric Myosarcoma; Gastric Myoblastoma; Gastrointestinal Leiomyosarcoma; Gastrointestinal Smooth Muscle Tumor)
GIST may occur anywhere in the digestive system.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are a type of tumor that occurs in the digestive system. The digestive system includes the esophagus, liver, stomach, gall bladder, large and small intestines, and rectum. The digestive system processes food to fuel the body and gets rid of waste. About half of GISTs occur in the stomach, but they can occur anywhere in the digestive system.
Theories about GISTs say that they begin in special cells of the digestive system. These cells are called interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs). They send signals that tell the digestive system to contract, which moves food and liquid through the digestive system.
GISTs are rare. All GISTs are now considered potentially malignant (cancerous).
The cause of GISTs is not well understood.
Many people with GIST have a mutation (defect) in a gene called c-kit. Usually, this gene is not active. However, in people with GIST, the c-kit gene often has a defect and is active, which enables the cells to grow and divide uncontrollably. This may explain why a GIST forms.
Risk Factors
Risk factors for GIST are mostly unknown. Possible risk factors include:
- Neurofibromatosis (a genetic disorder of the nervous system)
- Family history of GIST—Very rarely, GISTs have been found in members of the same family.
GIST is most common in people over age 50. It is very rare in children.
GISTs may not cause any symptoms until they grow to a certain size. If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to a GIST. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. Tell your doctor if you have any of these:
- Fatigue (tiredness and weakness)
- Fever; sweating at night
- Weight loss
- Feeling full after eating a small amount of food
- Abdominal pain
- Painless lump in the abdomen
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Blood in stool or vomit
- Problems swallowing (for tumors in the esophagus)
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will also be done.
Your doctor may do one or more of these tests to find the cause of your symptoms or to investigate for a tumor:
- Barium swallow —involves drinking a fluid that makes the esophagus, stomach, and intestines show up on x-ray
- Barium enema —barium is injected into the rectum so that the large intestine can be clearly seen on x-ray
- Ultrasound —a test that uses sound waves to look at the digestive system
- Endoscopy—a thin, lighted tube is inserted down the esophagus to look at the upper digestive system
- Colonoscopy —a thin, lighted tube is inserted up the rectum to look at the lower digestive system
- Endoscopic ultrasound —a thin, lighted tube with a tiny ultrasound transducer within it is passed into the esophagus
- Computed tomography (CT) scan —a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of the inside of the digestive system
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan —a test that uses magnetic waves to make pictures of the inside of the digestive system
- Positron emission tomography (PET) scan —radioactive material is injected into a vein to measure activity in the cells of your body (Cancerous areas are usually more active, so they attract more of the radioactive material. They can then be seen on the scan.)
If one of these tests finds a mass, the doctor may do a biopsy. A fine-needle biopsy may be used to diagnose a GIST. The doctor will use a CT scan or endoscopy to guide a tiny, hollow needle into the mass. The sample will be tested to determine if the mass is cancerous. In other cases, a surgery may have to be performed to take the biopsy.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Surgery is used to treat a GIST that has not spread. Surgery to treat GIST should be done by an experienced doctor. GISTs are very delicate tumors. There may be an increased risk of cancer spreading if the sac surrounding the GIST is opened during surgery.
You may be given medicines to shrink the tumor before surgery. For small tumors, laparoscopic surgery may be used.
Even if the tumor is large or growing into other organs, your doctor may use surgery to remove some or the entire tumor. This reduces the chance that the tumor will grow large enough to block the digestive system.
You may be given a medicine called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. These may make the tumor shrink or stop growing. Your doctor may prescribe imatinib (Glivec) or sunitinib (Sutent).

A semi truck careened off Highway 69/75 in Durant Tuesday morning and overturned in the McDonald's parking lot, sending debris flying.
According to the Durant Police Department, the crash happened at 9:46 when a semi truck that was southbound on Highway 69/75 "clipped" a car, drove off the highway, struck a "Welcome to Durant" sailboat sign and then crossed West Main Street. The truck struck a signal light before coming to a stop in the McDonald's parking lot. The semi traveled approximately 1,030 feet.
The driver, identified as Muhamed Zukic, 41, St. Louis, Mo., was removed from the cab by Durant firefighters and then loaded into a Bryan County EMS ambulance for transport to the Medical Center of Southeastern Oklahoma.
He was then flown to a Plano, Texas, hospital due to head injuries, according to police, and he is listed in stable condition. Police said the cause of the crash was possibly due to medical conditions.
A passenger in the car that was hit on the highway was taken by private vehicle to MCSO where she was treated for minor injuries.
Authorities said that had the semi not stopped after hitting the traffic light pole, it could have traveled further into McDonald's, possibly causing numerous casualties.
Beth Boothe had just exited the restaurant and was talking on the phone in her car that was parked facing east toward Long John Silver's.
"I heard a crash and I looked up and I saw debris from the welcome to Durant sign," she said. "Then I heard it (a crash) again. Debris was flying everywhere. It looked like a tornado."
Boothe is thankful the truck stopped before traveling further and also amazed that no one else was hit, especially when the truck crossed all four lanes of West Main Street that is usually backed up with traffic.
"The amazing thing is how he crossed that and did not hit another person," Boothe said.
Durant firefighters and Durant/Bryan County Emergency Management cleaned up the scene, including diesel fuel from the truck's ruptured tanks.

Animal Feed Ingredients - Beating the Odds
Compound animal feed has been the easiest access to market route for animal feed ingredient manufacturers. FEFAC has estimated that while 2010 has been positive overall for compound feed, 2011 might at best be stagnant if not negative. Two of the trends identified by FEFAC for 2010 are worth mulling over -
1. Partial recovery of per capita meat consumption in 2010 in EU 27 countries (1 Kg over 2009, but 3.5 Kg below 2008). This data was released mid 2011. The trend for 2011 is yet to be seen. In essence, if a double dip occurs, we might see meat consumption nose dive further.
2. Stalled demand for industrial pigfeed in 2010, although pig meat output increased by 2%. This means that productivity targets for commercial pig farming were raised in 2010, and we are probably on the path of increasing this further.
It is obvious that selling meat is going to get difficult, and the resultant cascade on the entire production chain. But will this include feed ingredient manufacturers?
This question is best answered with another question - Even though compound feed consumption fell, productivity of swine husbandry systems rose. What was this due to? How important were productivity enhancers like nutritional and sensory ingredients in bringing about this positive change?
Across the pond, things have not been very different either. Butterball LLC has decided to close down one of its plants by the end of this year citing higher feed costs as a major factor affecting profitability. In the meantime, CJ just announced a $323 million amino acid plant in Iowa to manufacture Lysine.
The overall picture points to a difficult time for everyone involved in animal husbandry, except for those with solutions to problems - Feed ingredient manufacturers.
