As the River Falls Reads program winds down and folks who have read and enjoyed Michael Shaara's Pulitzer-Prize winning novel about the Battle of Gettysburg, "The Killer Angels," are looking for new reading material, I'm happy to report that although Shaara died in 1988, his family lives on in the person of his son, Jeff Shaara, who also writes about the Civil War and has completed his father's trilogy with "Gods and Generals" and "The Last Full Measure."By Dave Wood, columnist , February 28, 2013

Book Report: The rise and fall of empires
I met a traveler from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert…Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The long and level sands stretch far away. —Ozymandias by Percy ShelleyBy Dave Wood, columnist , January 23, 2013

The state continues to prioritize projects along major corridors and has reduced Louisiana's backlog of road and bridge needs by $1.6 billion, from $14 billion to $12.4 billion. The continued investment has helped to create a safer and more efficient highway system for drivers in Louisiana, she said.
Investments made to improve major corridors during 2011 include:
· $79 million on projects to improve I-10
· $32.7 million on projects to improve I-12
· $16.5 million on projects to improve I-20
· $7.1 million on projects to improve I-55
· $3.3 million on projects to improve I-49
With the passage of key legislation to bond I-49 funds and dedicating $73 million in capital outlay this past legislative session, the estimated $622 million I-49 North project is fully-funded from the Arkansas line to I-220 in Shreveport. Nine of the 11 segments are currently in progress for a total of 31 of the 36.25 miles of roadway under construction. To date, the Jindal Administration has invested a total of $325 million in this critical corridor - more than half of the total project cost and well ahead of the federal investment in this road.
In May, DOTD opened the John James Audubon Bridge in St. Francisville to traffic. Completion of the $409 million bridge over the Mississippi River will greatly improve freight and commerce efficiency for major industries including the timber industry and local major businesses like the Big Cajun II plant right next to the bridge in New Roads. It is the longest cable-stayed bridge in the Western Hemisphere, connects Pointe Coupee and West Feliciana parishes and includes almost 12 miles of new roadways leading up to the bridge.
In September, DOTD marked the completion of the new Interstate 10/Twin Span Bridge across Lake Pontchartrain between the cities of Slidell and New Orleans. This $803 million replacement bridge, one of the largest public works project in the state's history, was completed on-time and on-budget.
It will improve the quality of life for Louisianans by reducing traffic congestion, improving safety, enhancing mobility for the more than 55,000 drivers who drive it daily and facilitating economic development opportunities. The bridge, previously destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, now stands as a modern, six-lane structure (three eastbound and three westbound travel lanes) - taller, wider and more robust than its predecessor. The mainline sections of the bridge are 21 feet taller than the original structure, making it less vulnerable to a future storm surge.
According to the 2010 INRIX Traffic Congestion Report, traffic congestion in the Baton Rouge and New Orleans metro areas has improved due to the continued investment made on major corridors in each area. In the report, Baton Rouge moved from 32nd most-congested metro area to 42nd. The New Orleans metro area's ranking moved from 35th most-congested to 45th.
Safety on Louisiana's roadways continues to be a top priority. Through the Destination Zero Deaths initiative, Louisiana has seen a dramatic reduction in traffic fatalities with the unified efforts of the Federal Highway Administration, Louisiana Highway Safety Commission, Louisiana State Police, and DOTD working in cooperation with local public works departments and local law enforcement. Fatalities on public roads in Louisiana have decreased from 993 in 2007 to 720 in 2010, a reduction of 30 percent.
In the last year, DOTD has been involved in a number of initiatives designed to increase safety on state roadways. These include:
Centerline Rumble Strips: The installation of centerline rumble strips on over 2,100 miles of state highways will help to reduce head-on collisions by 15 percent.
Constructing roundabouts: Roundabouts are an innovative and cost-effective tool to increase safety, improve traffic flow and enhance the aesthetics of an intersection. Since January 2008, $6.2 million has been invested on roundabout projects.
ITS Cameras: Interstate cameras facilitate better communication among drivers, traffic operations staff and emergency response personnel about roadway conditions. DOTD installed 50 new cameras, bringing the total number installed statewide and available for viewing on DOTD's website to over 230.
Mile Markers: Emergency responders and regional Incident Management Teams requested installation of enhanced mile markers to improve emergency response times and increase safety by helping motorists to better report accidents, breakdowns, and other roadway incidents.

Entry tags: | char: power girl/kara zor-l/karen starr, char: wonder woman/diana of themyscira, creator: fernando dagnino, creator: gail simone, title: wonder woman |
Now that it's topical, I decided I'd sort out this morning.
Context: The God of War's children are getting people riled up and made Power Girl fight Wonder Woman. When she snaps out of it, Diana and Karen go to suggestively eat some hot dogs, Wonder Woman goes after the children and Power Girl has to quell the riot.
Not sure that it'll work tonight though.

Our city nearly a century ago
The Britain from Above photo archive has some great photos of Sheffield take in the 1920s.
Under the terms of the license I can't publishing them here, so instead I've linked to some of the highlights:
- The Peace Gardens – before St Paul's church was demolished
- Barker's Pool – before the City Hall was built
- Sheffield Midland station – with a big open space in front of it
- The University of Sheffield and Weston park – Firth Court and Weston park museum are pretty much the only recognisable buildings
- Fargate
- Pinstone Street
- The Botanical Gardens
- King Edward VII school
Not in Sheffield, but the archive also contains pictures of Sheffield Wednesday United v Cardiff City at Wembley Stadium.
There are also several shots of suburbs, where some of the housing hasn't yet been built. Areas featured include Millhouses, Beachief, Meadowhead, the Manor, Whirlow, Totley, Coal Aston, Middlewood, Handsworth, Oughtibridge, Attercliffe, Neepsend, Highfield, Sharrow and Firth Park.

Cemetery notes and/or description:
This hallowed ground, established December 12, 1884, by a general order signed by command of Lieutenant General Sheridan and Adjutant General R. C. Drum became the first West Coast cemetery to be part of the national cemetery system. The first interment was July 23, 1852 and it became a National Cemetery in 1884. This cemetery is closed to new interments.
On July 19, 1922, 38 bodies were unearthed in an isolated spot of the Presidio. The bones were believed the remains of early Spanish conquistadores who founded the local fortification. The bodies of 474 unknown dead sent here from early Western frontier camps and stations in the Philippine islands have been buried in one grave. In all, the National Cemetery lists 510 unknown bodies.
