High school girls soccer: 2012 News-Herald all-stars (with video)
Michelle Krebs
Junior midfielder, Gilmour
A prototypical engine-room catalyst, Krebs had 11 goals and six assists and was the area's lone girls first-team All-Ohioan as the Lancers went 14-3-2 and advanced to their first Division III district final since 2006. Krebs suits the possession-oriented style of Gilmour, which finished the season ranked No. 1 in The News-Herald Top of the Crop, perfectly with her ball skill, and her ability to help dictate possession allowed Lancers goalies to have to make just 48 saves all season.
Ed Bradac, Kirtland
With an all-freshmen group in the defensive third and a generally young side, Bradac guided the Hornets to a 13-5-1 campaign and gave eventual Division III state semifinalist Hawken a tough match in district semifinal play before falling, 1-0, in overtime. Kirtland was 7-2-1 against D-I and D-II competition, including three wins over Premier Athletic Conference teams in October.

"Can I Get a Napkin, Please?" ~ Or~ Musicals. They Kill Me. (Possibly My Favorite Post)
In my high school hey-day, it used to be that there were cool jocks, drama/band nerds, motor heads, geeky smart kids, and "extras," like the kid who somehow worked 60 hours a week at Wendy's and yet was still a living student. I was a fairly smart kid (No math! Death to math!) with strong leanings toward "extraness." One thing I wasn't: a drama/music nerd.
Confession: I never liked Grease. Peer pressure wouldn't allow me to admit it then, but I can now.
Yes, tragic as it is, the musical appreciation gene skipped me. Thus, you can see that High School Musical and Mama Mia are lost on me. Yea, pain inducing.
In fact, when I recently went to see Mama Mia with my group of girlfriends, one kept repeating, "I want to sit by Linda just so I can watch her squirm." (Please turn your attention to the first pic of this post.)
So how did this happen: I have two daughters who are musically inclined, who have had leads in musicals and parts in civic productions. Oh, the irony! (These may be the only musicals I've ever enjoyed, btw).
When all three of my kids were little, one of their favorite shows to watch was CATS, the undisputed dumbest of all musicals. "Wicked" kept my friends juiced for months. In sum, the people whom I love most in this world love the musicals. Musicals make their world go round. Musicals make my stomach go round.
Why is this my fate? Why must I constantly be reminded that I'm an outcast? If life were a musical, right now I'd be slowly climbing to the top of my computer desk, clutching the keyboard to my chest singing, "Whyyyyy is this my faaaaaate?"
So when I came across this video, I nearly died laughing. The people in the courtyard are MY people. Their expressions are MY expressions. I must find these people. Because the other people in my life are like the singing people. And although I love people who can sing about their woes as well as triumphs, I am often lonely on my anti-musical road.
Fellow anti-musical nerds, are you out there? In the words of Yentl, "People, can you hear me? People, can you see me?"
If you are out there, please raise your voice in my comments section. This is not the time to lurk. This is the time to "sing." Without actually singing, of course.
So I now present: "Can I Get a Napkin?" with the wonderful lyric: "I promise we're not wasting trees."

Recommended Museums & Galleries by Groupon Customers
The approximately 247-acre wilderness zoo houses more than 2,500 animals from nearly 400 different species, including gorillas, penguins, bears, tigers, and elephants. Stop by the orangutan and chimp habitat, or walk down a seashell-strewn path to the penguin cove, which includes a 52-foot-long underwater viewing area for watching Humboldt penguins glide gracefully through the water in search of sealed Tootsie Rolls. Sedgwick County Zoo's continually evolving exhibits showcase cuddlesome creatures from diverse regions including Asia, Africa, and South America.
In 1919, discouraged that artifacts of Wichita and Sedgwick County were disappearing, the Sedgwick County Pioneer Society began collecting and displaying historical items in the Sedgwick County Courthouse. Nearly a century later, what began as a modest collection of early memorabilia has expanded to nearly 70,000 Sedgwick County and Wichita-related artifacts, which together trace the history of the region from 1865 to the present. Now housed in Wichita's original, renovated City Hall, the collection's photographs, clothing, decorative arts, and household items enrich award-winning exhibits that tell tale of the area's Buffalo-hunting days, Great Depression–era dust storms, and aircraft industry.
The museum is also home to three re-created environments from the region's past. The garage re-creation holds a 1916 Jones Six automobile, the only such Wichita-built vehicle on public exhibit, and the drug store reproduces the feel of the popular early 20th-century neighborhood gathering place. Over in the Wichita Cottage, seven rooms of a Victorian-style 19th-century home house authentic period items such as a wooden icebox, a gas-and-electric ceiling light fixture, and a phone powered by animosity toward Rutherford B. Hayes.
The 105,000-square-foot, Smithsonian-affiliated museum, which was voted one of the Eight Wonders of Kansas in 2008, boasts the second-largest collection of space artifacts in the United States (behind only the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.). An all-day mission pass gets you access to all the museum's treasures: the Carey IMAX Dome Theater, Justice Planetarium, Dr. Goddard's Lab, and the Hall of Space Museum. Start by strolling through the Hall of Space, where notable space souvenirs such as the command module from Apollo 13 and the Liberty Bell 7 Mercury capsule chronicle mankind's courtship with the cosmos. Then explore Dr. Goddard's Lab, a replica of the 1930s laboratory where Dr. Robert Goddard pioneered modern rocketry. Explosive reenactments of the doctor's attempts to find the right rocket fuel, figure out how to circumvent gravity, and lick his elbows are performed daily to delight children and their copilots.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Last year, Whitney Houston died hours before Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy gala. This year, the music executive says she'll be remembered.
"In saying I'm proud of her legacy, I'm going to make sure that she's felt somehow during that night, yes," the 80-year-old said in an interview Thursday.
Davis' gala will take place Saturday night at the Beverly Hilton, where Houston died on Feb. 11, 2012, at age 48.
The annual event is where Davis introduced a young Houston to the music world more than two decades ago. Davis — Houston's mentor, producer, champion and longtime friend — memorialized her at last year's gala, held downstairs from the hotel where she died.
"Whitney and I had great times at this party over the years," he said, smiling. "I'd played her new songs and she'd come over in her pajamas and be listening late at night ... so it is bittersweet. Tragedy is still foul."
Houston was found drowned in a bathtub. Coroner's officials ruled her death accidental, with heart disease and cocaine use contributing factors.
The night continued last year after Houston's death — and the music will live on this year.
R&B singer Miguel, who's up for five awards at Sunday's Grammys — including song of the year for "Adorn" — will hit the stage. He rehearsed some of the song happily Thursday.
"I've dreamt about coming to this party," the singer said. "It's a huge honor to be included and perform."
Davis, per usual, was tight-lipped about the other performers. Continued...
"You should expect being blown away by the diversity of the music, by the vitality of the music, by the range of music today," Davis said.
Last year's performers included Elvis Costello, Ray Davies, Alicia Keys, Jessie J and others.
R&B singers Brandy and Monica, mentees of Houston, were supposed to perform their new duet at that time, but were emotional due to Houston's death.
Emotional Houston moments will be captured in an hour-long CBS special titled "The Grammys Will Go On: A Death in the Family." It's a behind-the-scenes look at how Houston's death affected last year's Grammy Awards and will air the same night as Davis' gala. It includes interviews with Jennifer Hudson, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift and other artists.
The Beverly Hilton Hotel said in a statement that the room where Houston died has not been used.
"Out of respect to the family and fans of Whitney, the guest room where she stayed was immediately taken out of inventory and all contents were removed," the statement read. "Hotel management is considering options to repurpose the space but has made no final decisions at this time."
Saturday's event will honor Epic Records chairman and CEO Antonio L.A. Reid.

Take a walk on the wild side: The Colony welcomes new trail that will sweep through uncharted territories
By Marthe Stinton, firstname.lastname@example.com
The Tribute Shoreline Nature Trail groundbreaking was held last week as some of the area's top business leaders, politicians and nature lovers were on hand to turn the dirt.
U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess, The Colony Mayor Joe McCourry and City Manager Troy Powell were present for the groundbreaking of the new trail, which will connect to existing portions of the Shoreline Trail.
"We're extremely excited about the new trail being constructed in The Tribute," Powell said. "The trail will open up access to a large preservation area along the shores of Lake Lewisville. The trail will be a wonderful addition to The Colony's already extensive hike and bike system."
The project is a unique public/private partnership that is the culmination of three years of planning as well as extensive research with The Colony Parks & Recreation Department, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a grant from the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department.
Jack Matthews is the developer of The Tribute Lakeside Golf & Resort - a 1,600-acre master-planned community that, when complete, will boast more than 2,000 homes ranging in cost from $270,000 to more than $1 million. Matthews worked with JBI Partners to develop and engineer the two-and-a-half mile, 10-foot-wide trail.
"To be able to enjoy the natural beauty of this area, we needed to create a trail that doesn't take away from the habitat," Matthews said in a press release. "That means preserving the tree canopy for birds, protecting the wildlife and safeguarding the terrain; all while allowing for the passage of people through a completely sustainable use of trail materials."
Amenities include benches and trash and recycling receptacles, directional signage, mileage markers, and interpretative signage describing cultural and native features of the lake and surrounding area.
Materials and routes were carefully selected to minimize impact on the surrounding natural environment, both during and after construction. Project areas disturbed as a result of construction will be re-established with a mix of native grasses and plants and recycled materials are being used in the site furnishings where possible.

Love Will Find A Way
LP (Item 2381) Arista, 1978 — Condition: Used
A beautiful little record by Pharoah Sanders – quite different than most of his other recordings of the 70s, and done in a smoothly jazzy mode that also features plenty of soul! Sanders did the set in collaboration with Norman Connors – and the style is in that same great mix of mellow soul and deeper jazz that Connors used on his own brilliant records from the time. Instrumentation includes some keyboards and guitar mixed in with Sanders' always-soulful work on sax – and a number of cuts have vocals, either by a chorus shading in the tunes, or by Phyllis Hyman in the lead. The whole thing's great – warmly soulful, and almost a tighter extension of the modes that Sanders was exploring on his last album or two for Impulse. Titles include "As You Are", "Everything I Have Is Good", "Got To Give It Up", "Love Will Find a Way", "Love Is Here", and "Pharomba". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Sandy Hook Promise: Parents of Newtown school shooting call for safer nation
NEWTOWN, Conn. — Nicole Hockley told the media and Newtown residents that she doesn't want to be the parent who has to comfort any future victims of gun violence.
Hockley was one of four parents of the 20 first-graders at the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacred a month ago who spoke Monday at the announcement of the Sandy Hook Promise group that has come together to urge a national dialogue on gun control, school safety and mental health solutions.
"I still find myself reaching for Dylan's hand to walk through a parking lot or expecting him to crawl into bed beside me for early morning cuddles," Hockley said, her voice breaking.
Adam Lanza, 20, shot his way into the school on Dec. 14 with a Bushmaster AR-15 equipped with a high capacity magazine and murdered six staff members after killing his mother in the home they shared. He took his own life as first responders rushed into the building.
"I do not want to be someone sharing my experience and consoling another parent next time. I do not want there to be a next time," Hockley said.
Hockley defined the mission of Sandy Hook Promise, which has 17 co-founders among residents of the town, as reaching out to a nation of communities to come together to transform the dialogue around violence in America. "I don't know yet what the changes are. I come with no pre-conceived agenda. I do believe there is no quick fix single action," Hockley said, setting the tone for a deliberate, open dialogue across the country one day before Vice President Joe Biden is expected to present President Barack Obama with an agenda of changes in response to the tragedy.
Several organizers spoke about the group, but it was the voices of the parents that were the most powerful at the meeting attended by dozens of reporters from across the country, as well as community members, in the basement of the Edmond Town Hall in the close-knit community of Newtown.
"My family chose to live here and we stand by our choice. One tragedy cannot undermine this town's spirit and love," said Hockley, who predicted Newtown in coming years will be even stronger, "a place that is helping to lead change and modeling the way a community should be."
Nelba Marquez-Greene, mother of Ana Marquez-Greene, recalled sending two children to school on Dec. 14 and only one returning home. "I pray that no mother no father … ever has to go through this pain," which she said was "unbearable."
Marquez-Greene, calling on her personal faith, said her family is choosing "love" over "hate" to honor Ana's life. "Love wins. Love wins in Newtown and may love win in America … Our hearts are broken. Our spirit is not and it is with this knowledge that we are able to move forward with purpose and strength." Continued...
Unlike some of the national discussion that already is reflecting the standoff that has prevented a consensus on gun reform and better mental health access, Marquez-Greene outlined what Sandy Hook Promise is all about.
"This is a promise to be open to all possibilities. There is no agenda other than to make our communities and our nation a safer place. This is a promise to have conversations on all the issues, conversations where listening is as important as speaking. Conversations where even those with the most opposing views debate in good will. This is a promise to turn conversation into actions. Things must change. This is the time," Marquez-Greene said.
Tom Bittman, one of the founders, said Sandy Hook Promise pledges to find the financial assistance needed to offer support services for the victims' families, the first responders and others impacted by the tragedy for as long as they need it, while also working on grassroots solution to the bigger issues.
He said the dialogue needs to encompass equal parts "love, compassion and common sense. Doing nothing – doing nothing – is no longer an option. We have let this happen too many times." Bittman said it is a matter of thinking and acting "differently."
Bittman said the county has been "stuck in a rut," with no movement even as gun violence and mass killings have continued.
In Aurora, Colo, on July, 12 were killed in a movie theater and 58 others suffered gunshot wounds; in January 2011 in Tuscon, Ariz., 18 were shot, six died and former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords sustained a brain injury; at Virginia Tech, a gunman killed 32 and 17 were hurt, while in 1999, two students at Columbine High School killed 12 students and a teacher, leaving 21 injured.
Also in the audience was Sandy Philips, the mother of Jessica Redfield Ghawi, who was one of the dozen persons killed in Aurora, and her husband, Lonnie Philips, who wanted to show their support for the Sandy Hook families.
"I think we are finally at a place in this country where the America people finally stood up and said 'enough. This cannot go on,'" Philips said. "Personally I don't want to belong to a society that has 20 children murdered, six educators – in our case, 12 at a movie theater. That is not society where if they choose to do nothing, I want to be a part of. That's not OK with me."
Bittman said it is not enough to pass a law, but each individual has to take responsibility with "open minded dialogue."
"We talk past each other. We repeat predictable rhetoric. We are hardened in our positions. We feel threatened. We don't listen," he said. Continued...
Bittman said some of the members of Sandy Hook Promise are gun owners who hunt, engage in target shooting or have firearms for personal protection or are collectors.
"We are not afraid of a national conversation in our community and in Congress about responsibility and accountability," said Bittman of the "millions" who agree with him.
The co-founder said after guns, the nation needs a broad discussion about mental health and social behavior. "Every … single mass shooting in schools has been perpetrated by a very troubled young man."
Jeremy Richman, the father of Avielle Richman, said the tragedy unfortunately could have happened in any community. "It is our responsibility to be outraged," he told the audience, as his wife, Jennifer Hensel, stood by his side.
In memory of their daughter, they are starting the Avielle Foundation "to marry behavioral and biochemical mental health research to identify risk factors and measure the success of health interventions."
Tim Makris, another spokesman for the group, in answer to a reporter's question, said they loved "the focus of the president" and Biden's reaching out to those parents who wish to talk to him.
U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., who also represented Newtown as the six-year representative of the congressional 5th District, said he disagreed with the National Rifle Association's statement that it has the votes to defeat changes.
"It is the NRA's job to say what they have always said that the gun laws can't change in this country. The NRA is fundamentally out of step with where this country is after Sandy Hook and they frankly are out of step where their own members and gun owners are. Gun owners across this country don't think that you have to have 100-round magazines. They don't think that people should be exempt from background checks and I think this is a conversation that the NRA can't avoid," the newly sworn-in senator said.
Murphy said it was important to have a forum to help guide the discussion and that is what Sandy Hook Promise can do. He said most of them are still feeling waves of grief and are not ready to push an agenda.
The senator said he is equally as focused on mental health reforms for those who need treatment. He said community treatment, versus large institutions are needed and that will factor into the budget discussions due in Congress. Continued...
"Newtown and Sandy Hook should be a challenge to us to make sure that when we balance budgets that we don't do it on the backs of the mental health system," Murphy said.
State Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, R-Fairfield, said he thought the focus of the group on a broad-based dialogue was the right approach.
Philips, the mother of Jessica Ghawi, the difference with Sandy Hook is the slaughter of "babies."
"We talk about we're a civilized society. I know Third World countries that have less gun violence than we do. That is not alright," Philips said.
She said she appreciated that the Sandy Hook parents need to take some time to educate themselves. Philips said she was not disappointed with the lack of specifics at this point.
"I was eager to be here to support them … we wanted to put our arms around them as parents and understand the pain that they are going through and the shock that they are still in. We are six months into our loss, we are just now becoming sane again … we are just getting over our shock and beginning to redefine our lives," Philips said.
She wants universal background checks whether it is private sale or at a gun show and personally she wants to see "magazines controlled. AR-15s, in my opinion, don't need to be in the hands of the American public."

For those who would rather ride than walk, the Brazilian Court Hotel and Beach Club in Palm Beach, Fla., has a package that includes "motorcade" transportation. (It's really a private car service for a full day.) Potential guests may need a donation from a super PAC in order to afford this presidential perk; prices start at $2,159 per night.
In addition to the "motorcade," the price includes luxury accommodations, facials at the spa, cocktails or mocktails in the cafe, and chocolate-covered strawberries. And to "unwind," guests will be given their choice of Romney's "No Apology" or Obama's "Audacity of Hope."
Election fatigue
If your idea of unwinding does not include reading works by politicians, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Hotel may have the getaway for you. This hotel in Scottsdale, Ariz., is offering an "Election Fatigue Package."
"You can elect not to receive the daily newspaper or the TV news stations," hotel spokeswoman Valerie Lee explains. In order to make sure their guests get away from the political TV ads, this $399-a-night package includes a pool cabana and access to the spa.
Elect to escape
One place where you can turn on the television without having to worry about political ads is at the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino. The Renaissance, on the Dutch island of Aruba, is inviting the "election weary to take a post-election break with discounted rates tied directly to presidential polls."
The "Elect to Escape" promotion offers discounts on rates, starting at $260 per night, which are directly related to the Gallup Election 2012 tracking polls. "If President Obama is attracting support from 54 percent of voters nationwide, resort rooms at the adult-exclusive Marina Hotel can be booked at a 54 percent discount on that day. If Mitt Romney surges ahead by 60 percent the following day, the discount will jump to 60 percent."
Pay attention to the polls to get the most out of this deal. "Elect to Escape" rates can be booked through Nov. 5, for stays from November 6 through Nov. 30.The Renaissance Aruba comprises the adult-only Marina Hotel and family-friendly Ocean Suites.

It's probably nothing to worry about. In fact, perhaps it should be looked at as a positive.
Auburn, which recently fired head coach Gene Chizik, is interested in Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez, according to CBS NCAA Football insider Bruce Feldman,
Names I heard that Auburn had a lot of interest in as part of "A" group: Rich Rodriguez & Jim Mora.
— Bruce Feldman (@BFeldmanCBS) December 4, 2012
Rodriguez guided the Wildcats to a 7-5 mark in his first year in Tucson, and his team is currently preparing to face Nevada in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl.
His offense was ranked 17th in the country with an average of 37.3 points per game, though Arizona's defense allowed 34.3 per outing.
Rodriguez previously coached at Michigan and West Virginia before being hired by Arizona.

POD HD500 pedal calibration
Like (0)
Recently I updated the Flash Memory to v1.40 and thereafter I performed a global settings reset.
Then I performed a re-calibration of the expression pedal.
In the firs time when I pressed the C switch to check the values the "toe" position reached 255, but the "heel" position don't reached 0, but 5.
Then I performed a new global settings reset and tryed to re-calibrate the expression pedal again.
This time, pressing the C switch the "toe" position value is ok, but the "heel" position value reached no less than 33.
Then I repeated the re-calibration process several times, but the "heel" position value never reaches "0" but only marks 32 or 33 instead of zero.
How I solve this?
If anyone can help I thank you in advance.
Edit: I performed the pedal calibration following the instructions in this link:
I solved the issue by myself.
If anyone want to know how I did it, please ask me!!
Please let me know....i faced the same issue today.
I removed the bottom cover and remove the sensor board and cleaned the sensor with a soft paper handkerchief.
The two central screws don't need to be removed, because they support a zig-zag bar that works like a reinforced pilar.
Thanks, Jerkon. This solved my pedal calbration issue also. I was having the same symptom - heel position wouldn't go below about 30-35.
I was a bit cautious about doing this because technically it could void the warrant, but the procedure was very simple. Just remove the 6 screws along the top and bottom edge of the back cover. Then slide the cover left or right to get it beyond the edges of the chassis for easy removal.
The sensor board was also easy to remove carefully - two screws.
I used a paper towel to clean both the exposed white disc on the pedal and the two sensors on the underside of the board.
Problem solved.
good find.... just looking for this... mine hits 24 everytime, tried 4 times before looking...
seems like a design flaw to me... you really shouldnt need to do this.. especially since it was brand new and has never left my desk... oh well.... i end up opening everything i own anyways, why should my pod be any different! lol
my problem is little different.the pedal scaled value stuck to 0 in toe and heel position,nothing chenged when i mov the pedal.and what about warrenty?if i open my pod is there any seal to be broken????
guys guys after facing that problem i kept my pod in rest for allmost 36hr in a gig bag.i just now opend it to check on it.i just runed the pedal caleberation and god knows it perfectlly moved scaled value 0-255.tnx to god for this time.but how to make sure that it don't happend again.do i still have to open my pod and clean it??
i like to mention that when i brought my pod it had lower flash virson so i update through line6 monkey.i faced that same problem before.and that problem solved just like now.that time i kept my pod rest for almost 24hr.so do i still have to open and clean the sensor ??
No - I would not open it to clean the sensor unless the problem re-appears. For now it seems you are OK.
hmm..tnx silverhead for your opinion
I did what you said but it did not work for me ... It is like the volume/wha pedal does not work... always in 0 status.... even doing the global reset, update flash and trying to calibrate the pedal...
Would you have any ideas for me.. i am almost trying what one of our friends said. Keep it for about three days or some to see if it gets back...
Even Line6 team does not know what happens... how come?
THank you anyway...
It sounds to me like your HD500 pedal needs servicing at an authorized service centre:
The fact that the reading is always 0 suggests a problem with detecting pedal movement at all - not just at the upper/lower range limits. If firmware reinstall and pedal calibration attempts show no change in behaviour I suspect an internal hardware problem.
i faced tthe padle proble again.and tis time it never get normal after resting the unit for day.i give it to seller for replacement.they said it can't be replaced.go for repair.now they saying wait we will send it to company.@silverhead do you know that can i get any service from india?although india have a service center/distributer at Mumbai.are they gona replace it or what??
I suggest you open a support ticket to work directly with Line6 on this. See the Support tab at the top of this page.
My HD500 is experiencing the same issue (the heel position not registering below 30-35). I tried cleaning the white disc and two sensors with a paper towel as described: now it registers a minimum of 24. This indicates to me that the cleaning may have slightly improved it, but not solved it completely.
Any recommendations? I could try cleaning more vigorously with a lint-free cloth. Would using acetone to clean the sensors be safe (as it would be for cleaning other small electronic components)?
Just wanted to follow up and mention that my minimum value is now registering at zero after my initial cleaning, even though at first it only showed a marginal improvement. Not sure why it went from better to working having only cleaned it once and done nothing between the two tries, but I'm not really complaining.
I definitely recommend trying the sensor cleaning method, and thanks to all who suggested it!
My pedal is not working ... how did you solve your problem?
Thank you... firstname.lastname@example.com...
which country u from daviddemetrio ??i think u have no other option beside giving it to repair
I suggest that you instead of down the heel position of the pedal normally, pull the upper part of the pedal (toe) with the right hand to do the correct calibration.
By this way it may works.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Northbound Highway 75 closures Thursday night in McKinney
Staff report
Weather permitting, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will close all lanes on northbound U.S. Highway 75 at Eldorado Parkway, including the frontage road, beginning at 10 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 10 through 6 a.m. the next morning.
This lane closure is necessary to place bridge beams for the Eldorado Parkway overpass under reconstruction. It is part of the construction for the expansion of U.S. 75 from Sam Rayburn Tollway to U.S. Highway 380, expected to be complete summer of 2015.
All northbound traffic will be detoured to Exit 38 C to take the northeast ramp to State Highway 5. This will channel traffic past the Medical Center Drive intersection while still allowing access to the Sam Rayburn Tollway and allowing traffic to exit prior to 38 C.
The detours will be clearly marked and local law enforcement will be on site to assist in traffic control. Portable message boards have been placed to inform motorists of the closure. TxDOT thanks area motorists for their patience during this closure and encourages motorists to seek alternate routes through the area.
It is necessary for the safety of the traveling public to keep the main lanes and frontage road lanes closed during this operation as 10 bridge beams will be set overnight over the northbound main lanes and frontage road lanes.
TxDOT asks drivers to be cautious and patient as crews work diligently to re-open northbound U.S. 75 as soon as possible Friday morning.
For more transportation-related information, visit the TxDOT Web site www.txdot.gov.

(Editor's note: I'm out of the office today through Oct. 1, so try not to miss my writing too much. In my absence, I have a few guests lined up for your reading pleasure. Be sure to tune in!
Cleveland Indians president Mark Shapiro, in his triumphant return to Twitter on Tuesday, was asked about the team's "What If?" ad campaign of the last two seasons. Here's what he had to say: "(We haven't) dumped it. It was a campaign we were proud of but (it's) time to move on to new marketing campaign."
But as it turns out, the Indians aren't the only team to unveil a slick campaign and have it blow up in their faces; local comedian Mike Polk, most of you know, parodied the team's "What If" campaign earlier this season. The Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays, as the above link details, are two of the most recent examples of teams thinking they could contend and subsequently rolling out marketing campaigns that in turn were mocked by fans.
I had the opportunity to check out opening night of "Lombardi" at Cleveland Play House at the Allen Theater on Wednesday; the play opened the Play House's 97th season and was met with rave reviews when it showed on Broadway, with former "Wonder Years" dad Dan Lauria in the title role and former "Who's the Boss?" actress Judith Light in the role of Lombardi's wife, Marie.I'm a big Green Bay Packers fan, which you know if you read my blog regularly, so this was right up my alley. But despite a tour of Lambeau and the Packers Hall of Fame a few years ago, I didn't know a ton about Lombardi going in. The play, based on the book, "When Pride Still Mattered" by David Maraniss, is set in 1960s-Green Bay, with Lombardi the new Packers coach after a rough couple years for the organization. The team, of course, went on to win the first two Super Bowls, making Lombardi a legend. (He later died of colon cancer in 1970 at age 57.)Fun stuff from the play: Before being hired by the Packers, Lombardi, then an assistant with the Giants, was ready to quit football and become a banker. The interplay in this scene, between Lombardi (Bob Ari) and Marie (DeeDee Rescher) was quite good, with Marie showing the emotions felt by every football wife: Do I support him, despite the toll football is taking? (Ari showed well the physical toll coaching and the related stress was taking on him.) I'm a theater novice, but I've never seen a play with only six characters: Lombardi, Marie, journalist Michael McCormick and three Packers players, Jim Taylor, Paul Hornung and Dave Robinson. The latter three were quite good, too, with Taylor playing the role of the moody NFL MVP who was worried about labor issues and contract status and Hornung the ladies' man who quite clearly enjoyed being the BMOC in Green Bay.A hearty recommendation from me for the show.
One of my favorite parts — of many — of the movie "The Big Lebowski" is when Brand explains Mr. Lebowski's Little Lebowski Urban Achiever program upon The Dude's first visit to the real Mr. Jeffrey Lebowski's house. (I know I have Lebowski fans among my loyal readers!)Why am I telling you this? Because based on a stat called expected win percentage, the Cleveland Cavaliers of 2011-12 also were achievers — overachievers! Read more here at SB Nation. Speaking of the Cavaliers: Thanks to Cavs communications man Mark Wright for passing this along. The team is using a new Twitter platform for web and mobile devices that includes a header photo that's pretty cool; as you can see from this screenshot, it's kind of like a Facebook cover photo for that app's new "Timeline" feature.

text: Honorary Fishery Officers seized several hundred paua in routine patrols of Central Hawke's Bay beaches last weekend.The seizures included 177 paua at Mangakuri and a further 55 undersize paua at Blackhead Light. Napier Fishery Officers also apprehended another fisher last week with 80 paua. "This total disregard of fisheries rules and the depletion of paua stocks it causes will not be tolerated," said Napier District Compliance Manager Ray McKay. "Both groups will face prosecution for breaches of Fisheries legislation."However, Mr McKay believed a good number of Hawke's Bay fishers had respected the rules this summer."The number of fishers caught flouting the rules this summer was down on previous years," he says. "But we are still concerned at the large quantities of paua, including undersized, that we have seized from some groups of fishers."While recreational fishing will continue as long as favourable weather and sea conditions prevail, Easter Weekend traditionally marks the end of the summer recreational season in the Hawke's Bay area."Fishers can expect to see a visible presence of Fishery Officers patrolling local beaches over Easter," Mr McKay said. "We want everyone to enjoy their fishing this weekend, but those who are considering ignoring fishing rules for their own benefit should be aware that they will be caught and punished."Mr McKay said the Easter patrols would also involve a number of Honorary Fishery Officers. "These people have given their time over the summer months on a voluntary basis, and have done an excellent job of protecting Hawke's Bay and Wairarapa fisheries," he said.Fishers are reminded to check the fishing rules before they go out – either by visiting the Ministry of Fisheries' website or by calling their local Ministry of Fisheries' office.If members of the public witness any suspicious or illegal fishing they should contact The Ministry of Fisheries on 0800 4 POACHER (0800 4 76224).

Both Obama, Romney have debate hurdles to clear, local experts say
Local political experts, like many across this nation, say tonight's debate in Denver between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney could be a turning point in this year's presidential election.
Depending on the poll, Obama either has a slight lead over Romney or the two are neck-and-neck.
Mark Grimm of Mark Grimm Communications, a Guilderland public relations firm specializing in public speaking coaching, media relations and message clarity, as well as a former elected official and a political consultant said both candidates will have hurdles to clear as they meet face to face to discuss where they stand on the issues facing this country.
For Obama, it's discussing his record on the economy. Grimm said that is the president's most vulnerable area, and former U.S. Rep. John Sweeney, a Republican, said it is something Obama will want to avoid. And with the questions being raised over his handling of the recent controversy in Libya, Obama's handling of foreign affairs could also be scrutinized.
"Obama has had problems throughout the cycle where he can't talk about his record of accomplishments because it's a pretty abysmal record," said Sweeney.
Meanwhile, Rensselaer County Democratic Party Chair Tom Wade said he thinks tonight's debate will be similar to the ones held four years ago that he felt showed Obama as the candidate with "superior intellect." He said the problems Obama has faced on the economy are not truly his own but rather something he inherited from the administration of former President George W. Bush.
"He has had to tackle all the most difficult issues during his term," Wade said. "It's hard to resolve all of them in four years. I feel with a second term he will turn those problems around."
Grimm said some Obama supporters may not be happy with his performance on the economy, but the president has always been able to be seen as a likeable candidate. What Romney will need to do, Grimm said, is to give him a few blows.
"It's been a while since he's debated," Grimm said of Obama, noting his condescending remark toward then-candidate and current Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton during the 2008 Democratic primaries. "He does have that streak in him, and Romney has to rattle him a little bit."
Wade said he doesn't feel that Obama can afford to come off condescending, adding that he believes the public doesn't see the president as such. He said he sees him more as a humble candidate. Continued...
"He comes from very humble roots," Wade said
What both Grimm and Sweeney said Obama has to do is go after Romney as an unsuitable alternative.
Grimm said Romney's objective has to be to change the minds of those he disenfranchised after a recording of a private fundraiser was released that captured Romney's thoughts on 47 percent of people in this country.
"Romney's biggest challenge is to prove he's not just a rich guy," Grimm said. "He has to prove he cares about everyday people."
Sweeney said he doesn't believe the video was the death nail in Romney's campaign, but he said there are some things Romney will have to overcome in order to bring his base, independents and conservative Democrats to his side.
"He can't ignore Obama's record," Sweeney said. "He has to make the point that America is suffering and he can provide a vision that is real leadership."
The debate format will be something many haven't seen during this election season: An environment where prepared speeches and responses will have little room and where the candidates will be forced to rely on their knowledge.
"Candidates live in these controlled environments," Grimm said. "That's why they're both sweating it out so much because it's something they can't control. We will have a greater opportunity to get the unvarnished truth."
