A corrections facility in Jones County that was completed last summer is ready to bring nearly 200 jobs to the area.
It sits vacant and officials are contemplating what to do with it.
"There's been a lot of interest, obviously we've had a lot of people fill out job applications and are anxiously awaiting to when this facility's going to open but right now we don't have anything in the near future to populate it," said Jones County Judge Dale Spurgin.
Spurgin said they have received state funds, but now they need a population of inmates.
"They ultimately did award a contract, but they opted to keep that population where they're currently located," Spurgin said.
The population, located at a unit in Mineral Wells west of Ft. Worth, consisted of inmates who require drug rehabilitation and parole and probation violators, which the facility in Jones County can accommodate.
Until they arrive, Jones County is contemplating what to do with the state-of-the-art facility.
Spurgin said several plans have been considered including one which would bring inmates from out of state to the facility in Jones County.
"The Governor's office and TDCJ have made some inquiries into California to bring out of state inmates in," Spurgin said.
However Spurgin expects the facility to be used at some point.
"It's a brand new facility, it's a state-of-the-art and eventually it will be used," said Spurgin.
The detention facility cost $35 million to build.

With the countrys blue-chip software services companies posting strong September-quarter earnings indicating renewed confidence among clients in its largest markets and a healthy surge in outsourcing demand, the Indian IT sector has already set the festive mood ahead of the Diwali celebrations.
While the leader Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and fourth-largest player HCL Technologies have maintained a steady revenue growth despite a slowing global economy, both the Bangalore-based IT majors Infosys and Wipro have now joined the club shaking off a spell of sluggish top-line growth seen over the last two years.
Backed by buoyancy in America and Europe and aided by rupee depreciation, top-tier IT firms have recorded a sequential dollar revenue growth of over 3% during the July-September stretch. TCS led the pack with a 5.4% growth followed by Infosys at 3.8% and HCL Technologies recording a 3.5% quarter-on-quarter growth. However, Wipro was still behind its peers with 2.7% dollar-revenue growth, though it did make some strides towards regaining some of its old glory.
The management commentary during the quarter was uniform across the software-services majors projecting an early sign of an upturn in IT spend globally, unlike in the past where establishing a common trend across the sector was difficult. However, the companies indicated that going by the current business environment, visibility into client spends, remains limited to a single quarter.
For the Indian IT biggies, North America, which contributes over 60% of the revenues, has seen more than 3% growth for all top-four players on a sequential basis with HCL Tech leading the pack with a robust growth rate of 4%. In Europe, TCS recorded a spectacular show of almost 20% sequential growth followed by Infosys at 5.2% and HCL Tech at 2.6% quarter-on-quarter. The European continent fuelled some large deals for the software-services firms during the quarter despite the regions macro-economic concerns.
In terms of operating margin, TCS widened the gap with its nearest rival Infosys by another 3% during the September quarter, while the NR Narayana Murthy-led firm remained steady during the period. Mumbai-headquartered TCS reported an operating margin of 30.2%, which was a 3% increase from the previous quarter, while for Infosys it stood flat at 23.5%, even without including the provision of R219 crore for visa related matters. A year ago, the operating margin between the two companies were almost similar.

I was just flicking through some photos here and came across this cabin photo of a Adria Airways A319
The picture shows that the traditional EXIT-signs have been replaced with running man-signs. Just wondering if this is specific only to Adria or will this become a norm? I know the 787 has similar signs as well. Nevertheless I think this will make them universally easier to understand.

Maxine shirred suit
I have tried to reach some one in regard to this suit. I have had probably 20 of the same style suit from Maxine and I am lucky to get four months of wear because the chlorine stretches out the material from the elastic in front. I tried taking up the suit but just does not work. I am so disappointed as this suit is 100% in fit and everything is so great. But I would like to explain what all that excess material does in chlorine. Too much material is gathered up and just gives way. If only some one would listen to me or call me or e-mail me.I want to tell the people that actually make the suit and the material is beautiful but will not last in chlorine. So now what do I do about a suit???

Made for the chlorine pool and tall ladies
Be sure to rinse well after each use and the suit will last many months in a heavily chlorined pool. Colors are bright and pretty. Legs need a little more elastic.

I use this product 2 to 3 times a week in chlorinated water. I like the leg openings I have thin legs and they fit well. As a full figured woman this suit is smaller in the bust area than my other Maxine suits were. The pattern on the suit is very attractive.

How to Start a Volleyball Team
Starting a volleyball team is a lot of work. Though it can be fun. You must work with the players and listen closely to what they need help on.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1First, think: Am I a good volleyball player? You must be able to bump, set, and spike it back to the players.
2Then think of what kind of team you want. Do you want to teach younger girls or older? If your making a team of different grades go like this: 2-3, 4-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12 grades. You must separate girls by grades because some girls hit the ball a lot harder than younger girls.
3Once you pick what kind of team you want, make flyers and hand them out. Or you could try the YMCA.
4Think about having a partner to help you. Partners are helpful because if there's two of you its easier to get things done. Also, if you can't make it they can do the routines. They can be a great help and are recommended for first time coaches.
5Once you have the team together, pick a team name. Ask the girls what they want for a team name. Write down the names they suggested. Then ask them to vote. The name with the most votes wins.
6Pick two or three days to practice. Pick when you'll start the practice and how long it will go. Most volleyball practices are 1 to 2 hours long. Also find out where your practicing or if your a YMCA coach ask the employees to save a court for your team.
7Tell the players to bring a water bottle(Or a metal bottle) and to wear knee pads to the practices.
8On the first day ask the girls to introduce themselves. You, too.
9Teach them the proper way to put your arms when bumping or passing. Teach one skill for at least 2-3 days. If they are having trouble help them and show them the correct way. Start with passing, then underhand serving, setting, then overhand serving, and the spiking.
10Praise them. "Good set, Angela!" "Nice serving!" "Awesome spike, Georgina!" It will make them feel better about themselves. If they miss or get a bad hit say, "Good try!"
11Keep on practicing with them. Practice makes perfect.
12When the seasons over, give them a place to meet and give out certificates and medals. Say a few words about how well they played.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- When practicing don't hit players with the volleyball. It could hurt them.

I stopped taking birth control the month before we started trying; however, I still haven't had my period and am worried that I might be infertile. I've taken pregnancy tests, but they have all been negative. Could my previously having been on birth control be affecting my ability to conceive?
I am also experiencing stress at work and am wondering if that might prevent us from conceiving. I know that it may be a little early to worry, but my not having my period makes me think that there might be a health issue that needs to be addressed.
What could be preventing me from conceiving?"
Congratulations to you and your husband. This is such an exciting time in your lives.
At this point, it does not seem that you have any cause for concern about infertility, and there is no reason to believe you won't be pregnant by the end of the year.
Infertility is defined as the inability of a couple to achieve a pregnancy after one year of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. You're just getting started; there is nothing preventing you from conceiving.
That being said, it is important that you make an appointment with a gynecologist for preconception evaluation and counseling.
Preconception CarePreconception care provides an opportunity for you to voice your concerns and to inform you about fertility and pregnancy issues. Your doctor will identify any health issues or risks of pregnancy for you and your future baby based on your pre-existing medical, gynecologic and obstetric history, current immunization status, medications, family and social history, lifestyle and physical exam. She or he will then educate you about these risks and institute appropriate interventions, if possible, before conception.
Optimizing your health before conception is the most important factor for improving pregnancy outcomes.
Menstrual CycleIt had previously been thought that women who used oral contraceptive pills were at risk of developing subsequent irregular periods or no period after stopping birth control. Rest assured that after stopping the pill, the median time to return to a period is approximately 32 days, and spontaneous menses or pregnancy occurs in approximately 90 days in most women.
If you do not get your period in the next 3 months and a pregnancy test is negative, you should be evaluated. This is especially true if you had irregular menstrual cycles before starting birth control, you are obese, have an abnormal hair growth pattern, or symptoms of estrogen deficiency, such as hot flushes or vaginal dryness.
OvulationOnce established, regular menstrual cycles between 28-32 days are reassuring that you are ovulating every month. Taking your basal body temperature is not necessary to document that ovulation occurred.
Ovulation occurs approximately 2 weeks before the next expected menstrual period. Ovulation test kits predict when ovulation is about to occur. This is a more helpful tool because you want to have daily intercourse before ovulation occurs. The egg only has 24 hours to be fertilized after it is released. You want sperm present and ready to attack.
The odds of conceiving in any one menstrual cycle is only 20%, so don't get disappointed, just try again next month.
Menstrual cycles that are shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days are not likely to be ovulatory, and need to be investigated.
StressThere are some studies that suggest stress can cause infertility; and in turn, the diagnosis and treatment of infertility can cause stress. However, no study has shown that reducing stress prior to attempting pregnancy or infertility treatment improves pregnancy rates.
If work is preventing you from engaging in regular intercourse during the fertile time of your cycle, this will clearly decrease your chances of conceiving.
Stress can also be associated with other mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, domestic violence and lack of social support; all of which should be identified and treated prior to pregnancy.
Untreated or inadequately treated psychiatric illness can result in maternal suffering and a variety of consequences, such as poor compliance with prenatal care, poor nutrition, substance abuse, or disturbed relationships between the mother and her infant. Some women may need medication and/or psychotherapy.
Prenatal VitaminsFor now, you should be taking a daily prenatal vitamin with folic acid 400 mcg. This reduces the risk of neural tube defects, as well as other congenital anomalies. The neural tube closes between 18 and 26 days after conception, so folic acid supplementation after the diagnosis of pregnancy is too late to reduce the risk of neural tube defects.
Lifestyle ChangesIn addition, adopt a healthy lifestyle.
- Stop smoking
- Exercise regularly
- Get adequate sleep
- Follow a balanced diet
- Achieve a normal body mass index
- Limit your alcohol intake
- Avoid recreational drugs and environmental toxins, such as lead
- Avoid artificial lubricants
Infertility EvaluationAn infertility evaluation should only be undertaken for couples who have not been able to conceive after 12 months of unprotected and frequent intercourse. Earlier evaluation can be undertaken based on medical history, physical findings, and in women over 35 years of age.

Bigg Boss contestants Gauahar Khan and Kushal Tandon might appear to be a happy couple in love, but their growing possessiveness for each other is creating a rift in their relationship.
One of the biggest causes of concern for Kushal is Ajaz's fondness of Gauahar. After Kamya's unexpected exit, all the housemates have entered into a zone of depression. In order to change their mood, Bigg Boss plays some peppy songs encouraging the contestants to dance.
While all contestants take to the dance floor, Kushal and Ajaz opt out of the fun and are seen sitting aloof in a corner. Gauahar insists on Kushal joining her on the dance floor but he turns her down. When Kushal pays no heed to Gauahar's request, she calls out to Ajaz and requests him to dance with her. This annoys Kushal and he walks away from the area altogether. Gauahar notices Kushal's absence and rushes inside the house to pull him back outside.
Kushal, however, continues to remain upset. In fact, when Gauahar offers him food, he refuses to eat it. Soon, Ajaz is found sulking in front of Sangram who advises Ajaz to maintain a distance from both of them as his involvement is creating cracks in their relationship.
Gauahar and Kushal's fight continues through the next day as the couple refrains from talking to each other and even avoid communication.

Asia's best performing stock market this year, Indonesia, is now seeing a string of upgrades in corporate earnings forecasts that could give the rally further momentum and cement its lead in the region.
Jakarta's stock market is basking in the quick turnaround the economy made from last year's currency crisis, helped by a rise in interest rates and an improvement in the country's huge trade deficit. The index has risen 17.5 percent in dollar terms so far in 2014, with the rupiah's rally contributing to those gains.
Analysts are now counting on other factors to drive the market up by a further 10 to 15 percent. Indonesia has parliamentary elections in April and presidential elections in July, and the stock market has historically rallied after elections.
Besides, domestic demand is strong and companies catering to the Indonesian middle class are seeing a jump in earnings. Consensus estimates for future business profits are rising.
"Once people could see that Indonesia's macro was improving faster than the other countries that are perceived to be risky, then Indonesia's risk premium vanished pretty quickly. That is what led to the initial sharp rally," said Jahanzeb Naseer, research analyst at Credit Suisse in Jakarta.
"From here on, what will differentiate Indonesia is that it is probably starting an upcycle in earnings. That tends to be a much more sustained period of recovery for markets."
So far, earnings have not been upgraded as fast as stock prices, causing a rapid expansion in Indonesia's price-to-earnings (PE) multiples.
The consensus PE ratio for Indonesia is 26.3 percent above its long-term average, analysts at Nomura estimate, whereas most others in Asia have PEs at or below long term averages.
Indonesia's PE has expanded 5 percent since early December to 13.4, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. In the same period, Singapore's PE is down 5 percent, India's is down 3 percent, while South Korea's is up a mere 2 percent.
The Jakarta stock market has had a 0.3 percent upward revision in average earnings for the next fiscal year in the past 30 days, the most in Asia, as per Thomson Reuters StarMine.
Analysts now expect earnings per share (EPS) in the next financial year will be up 10 percent, and those earnings upgrades could drive the next leg up in stock prices.
"Most of these EPS forecast improvements came over the course of February when the macro environment was starting to look better," said Mixo Das, a strategist with Nomura.

Second-generation Korean Jimmy Lee (Andrew Cristi) is building up his vocabulary in anticipation of applying for college in a few years. He's a bright, engaging kid, always looking for bigger and better words to say what he means. As he and his older brother Isaac (Peter Kim) differ about taking a road trip with their Korean immigrant father Boo-Seng Lee (Thom Sesma), Jimmy gropes for a word to describe why he feels it's important. He finally lands on it: "auspicious."
In Julia Cho's new play, Durango, getting its Midwestern premiere at the Cincinnati Playhouse, "auspicious" not only describes the road trip on which she sends her three principal characters, it is certainly applicable to this script by a relatively unknown playwright.
This is a
story with a lot of real-life texture: Boo-Seng, in the opening scenes,
loses his job with a tech company where his cultural differences have
made him an expendable employee — especially given his age, 56. But his
pride prevents him from sharing his loss with his sons, who he's been
raising as a single parent since his wife's death a decade earlier. Now
he knows his only path to success is through them. "Where did I learn
to want so little for myself?" he asks. See review here.

An Old Favorite 2007-01-24
67 of 73 people found this review helpful.
This vest is very quickly becoming an old favorite. Since the moment I put it on three weeks ago I knew that the quality, fit, and functionality of this vest would make it one of my favorite things to wear. The leather is superb (in texture, thickness, and craftsmanship).
The fit is great - another testimony to Fox Creeks helpfulness when ordering - I have a classic vest in a 46, but you suggested a 44 in the jean vest - and as usual you were right! The look is classy but casual. As you can tell, Im really sold on Fox Creek - the company and the products. I've never had a better experience with any company. Your products always exceed my expectations, as has your customer service. It is a rare treat today to deal with a company like yours.
You folk are first rate.

INCREDIBLE - Bought the vest almost a year ago ... and haven't taken it off yet!
Other than sky-high-$ custom made products, this is the best leather I've ever seen and worn. I'll be buying a second one for an over leathers vest ... over and under just like my favorite shotgun :)

Got my Jean Biker Vest yesterday and the product definitely was great quality for the money. Due to my size the vest was a little tight and the next size up, XXL, is kind of too loose. Your customer service suggested 2 vest extenders to rectify the problem, which I considered a wise choice. They even gave me a discount on the extenders! Thanks for a product well made, keep up the good work!

The quality of this vest is overwhelming. At first I ordered a medium size. It wasn\'t the perfect fit. Back it went, no questions asked. Fox Creek immediately sent out the large size and it is perfect. Really enjoyed doing business with these folks and looking forward to ordering one of their jackets in the future.
Thanks & Semper Fi.

I searched the web for a leather vest but I struggled to find the quality, strength and still keep that shaped appearance. In the UK this type of vest is available but the cost is off the scale from many retailers or the quality is less.
Fox Creek Leather has provided me with a very high quality leather vest, it is a heavy leather and yet remains supple. The stitch quality is strong and combined with the tailored leather has provided me with a shapely vest which is exactly what I required. The fit is perfect, difficult very often over the Internet to get the correct measurement, but the communication with Fox Creek even across the pond was excellent resulting in the vest being an exact fit. It was worth the additional postage etc to have the vest shipped over here to the UK as when I am wearing the vest it stands out in the crowd as quality.
I will be recommending Fox Creek Leather over here in the UK to as many people as possible and using the company again for other leather products when required as I know the quality will be second to none.
Many thanks and happy riding

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
I am here. How can I assist you?
I can go back and look at it - is there something particular that I should be focused on?
Let me review and research a bit and I will get back to you -
Thanks for requesting I assist with this matter and for your patience.
~ Michelle
Dear XXXXX
I have read the other question and the answers - and I did error - I was commenting on a criminal matter. If you recall, I then even moved your question to family law department - I will have to agree with both RVlaw's and Family Expert's answers. I think Family Expert is very correct in that you want to focus on winning the case and not so much how they got the information - But I will suggest that your attorney tries to fight the introduction of that medical information - and does use the fact that the VA doc does not need to disclose the medical information - May or may not be granted, but worth a shot. If the Judge orders it, then the Doc will need to give it.
Now, your PTSD - as you state is limited to bad dreams, etc. Your attorney should also have your VA doc prepared to testify as to exactly what that means in terms of your NOT being a threat or danger to your children and that there is no history or concern for violent behavor.
I also need to agree with the Family Expert and suggest that you relax and let your attorney do the worrying - that is why you are paying him/her the big bucks. I know this is well stressful and you want to make sure all your bases are covered. But if you do not take care of yourself you will be good for no one and a stressed person is easy to detect in the court room. You will want a judge to see a calm, relaxed, caring and loving parent in you - not someone who appears to be stressed out.
Again, I apologize for the miscommunication on the items stolen from your office - but I need to agree with the other two experts. If is your choice to accept this or not.
Best of success to you and thanks very much for valuing my opinion and feeling comfortable with me.

As if the 41-27 drubbing wasn't enough, a 22-year-old Heath, Ohio man stabbed his father outside of a Buffalo Wild Wings after the two became engaged in a disagreement over the contest between the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants.
According to the Newark Advocate, Logan H. Knight was charged with aggravated assault, a fourth-degree felony, after he opted to take a pocket knife to his father's leg while arguing in the parking lot. The two men left their friends and family inside the establishment where they would proceed to turn their verbal altercation into one of the physical variety.
During the dispute, the father shut his son's hand in a truck door. Logan Knight reportedly punched his father in the face then his father punched his son repeatedly, according to a statement of facts filed in Licking County Municipal Court. It was after the elder Knight was removed from the son that the 22-year-old branded, and used, the pocketknife.
No word on if alcohol was involved, nor if the disagreement stemmed from Pat Shurmur's decision to pass the ball on a third-and-1 play from the Giants' 25-yard line.

Even if unfamiliar to you now, that word may mean something, if, growing up, you were too short for basketball, unable to hit a curve in baseball, queasy about running into 300-pound linemen in football or limited at perfecting a backhand in tennis.
Pickleball may be the silver sports lining in your golden years.
"It's a sport everyone can play," says Kevin Chandler, 61, who retired from the Northeast to Monkey Junction in 2010 with his wife, Elaine. They learned of pickleball a year later and now make it an athletic and social connection to their boomer lifestyle.
Says Chandler, "When you go to play or watch pickleball at the Martin Luther King Center, there's hardly anybody in their 50s. Everybody's in their 60s, 70s, 80s."
Chandler is the Wilmington area ambassador for Pickleball, representing the USA Pickleball Association (USAPA). At its website, usapa.org, you can search for the location of games all around the Cape Fear region.
"Pickleball is like playing table tennis while standing on the table," says Mark Sinclair, sports director of the Wilmington Family YMCA. He hosts games throughout the week, and his courts welcome pickleballers of all ages, even teaming up family members of different generations.
Another local pickleball enthusiast is Tim Camden of the Brunswick Forest residential community in Brunswick County.
Touts Camden, "Pickleball is the fastest growing senior sport in North America and Canada. Here in Brunswick Forest we have over 150 members in our pickleball club. Currently we have four courts that stay busy year around. Our Brunswick Forest management team has realized the importance of senior health and has agreed to put in eight more courts to be opening in the fall."
The basics on the game of pickleball: It is played on a badminton-sized court with wooden paddles. The ball is similar to a perforated wiffle ball. The lower net, the top of which is 3 feet off the ground, and wiffle ball help make the game easier for all ages and abilities. Serving is underhanded.
The benefits of the game for seniors: There is not as much running as in tennis but there is much lateral movement, which keeps your balance sharp. There is also plenty of volleying that promotes footwork.
Interested? Chandler, Wilmington's ambassador, says new playing courts seem to be popping up all around.

Jewish Dining in NYC
by Julie Besonen, 03/25/2014

214 Mulberry St., 212-966-7366, NoLIta, Manhattan
Einat Admony triggered New Yorkers' taste for delicious Tel Aviv street food several years ago when she opened Taïm, and went on to wow a fashionable, multilingual audience at Balaboosta with her Middle Eastern–Mediterranean cooking. Balaboosta is Yiddish for the perfect housewife/mother/cook/hostess, so what better place to spend Passover if you're away from home? This year, guest chef Missy Robbins (ex-A Voce) will be working alongside Admony on an Italian-influenced Passover dinner on April 15 at 6:30pm sharp. A live band will entertain diners arranged at family-style large tables in the comfy 55-seat space. The four-course menu runs $125 per person and includes wine pairings. Look for leeks and Swiss chard cakes topped with poached quail eggs, chicken vegetable soup with artichoke-scallion matzo balls, braised short ribs with walnuts and sweet garlic, and for dessert, petite flourless chocolate cake with milk chocolate halvah mousse and smoked almond meringue.

Using BIM for Complex Precast Elements
The $27 million residence hall at Valparaiso University was completed in an aggressive 12-month timeframe, largely due to its precast concrete construction using BIM, and design-build project delivery method.
Coreslab Structures
Coreslab Structures of Indianapolis produced precast elements for Valparaiso Universitys first all-suite residence hall its only 100% precast concrete dormitory.
Corey Greika, Coreslabs Indianapolis precast sales manager and vice president, notes an interesting trend. During the recent recession, a higher percentage of the precasters projects requiring BIM were institutional, such as the Valparaiso University job. Now that private sector construction activity has increased, the plants number of BIM projects has gone down, with the exception of large projects such as stadiums.
Mortenson Construction was able to install decorative thin brick precast panels more quickly than a traditional brick and mortar façade, especially during harsh winter weather.
By using BIM to execute its precast design, Mortenson Construction assures higher quality. Structural conflicts were resolved up front and decorative exterior wall panels were more easily aligned with planned openings and joints.
Mortenson Construction
A 3D BIM rendering helped Coreslab design precise coursing for the dormitorys brick inlay façade, without having to draw and redraw layouts for each precast panel.
During the design phase, Coreslab Structures (Indianapolis) Inc. helped determine where critical structural elements would be located, such as shear walls, door and window openings, and spaces for bathroom units. It really helped to have the 3D model up front in BIM, so we could walk around the building and really understand its structure, says Corey Greika, precast sales manager and vice president.
The designer planned for internal spaces large enough to allow prefab bathroom units to be inserted into each suite.
Workers hoist a precast panel from a flatbed truck at the jobsite. Mortenson estimates the project's precast design and design-build approach shaved months from the project timeline.
BIM reduces the chances for error in precast construction. Rework is easily cut in half, says Andy Frank, Mortenson construction executive.
"Speed is the main benefit of using BIM." - Corey Greika, Coreslab's Indianapolis precast sales manager and vice president.

The Kalasatama Fiskari and Fregatti residential buildings in Finland took the prize for Teklas 2013 Best Precast Project. The BIM model includes piled foundations, detailed and reinforced concrete elements, load-bearing structures, and thermal insulation and brickwork.
Tekla Inc.
While customer demand is currently the biggest factor motivating precasters to adopt BIM, producers such as Coreslab are part of a growing group that recognize its benefits. Read More
Although BIM has its benefits, the technology did not come to Coreslab overnight. After several of the Ontario, Canada-based producer's North American operations had already begun the process, the Indianapolis plant started implementing BIM in 2008, when several major customers began requiring it.
"We were cautious to a degree," says Greika. "We wanted to help design teams evaluate precast early on, but we've been down the path before of investing in a certain software only to find out that our customers didn't want to use it." Plant management chose Autodesk's Revit software, which many of its architecture and engineering clients use.
Greika had the benefit of consulting with Coreslab colleagues in larger operations that were further along in implementing BIM. However, he cautions, "each precast plant has to evaluate its risks and determine what makes sense. You can't just adopt what another operation is doing, even if they're successful."
In its initial investment, Coreslab's Indianapolis managers decided against a full BIM implementation. The plant uses BIM in its design phase, establishing connections and penetrations and identifying potential problem areas in a 3D model. After that, they generate shop tickets in 2D.
With several major BIM projects completed and construction activity picking up, Greika says it makes sense to carry it through the entire process, from designing to generating tickets. "The further we can take the 3D modeling, the fewer chances of introducing human error, and the more accurate we'll be," he says.
Although contractors and specifiers have been the most proactive in adopting BIM, Mortenson sees more precasters coming onboard. "A few years back, we were selling our suppliers on BIM," says Frank. "Now most of the big general contractors are requiring it and we see it more as a qualifier, similar to a safety rating. If a producer doesn't use BIM, it doesn't qualify for the bid."
The precast industry is actually ahead of many others with adopting BIM in the U.S.
"Precast has set the templates and procedures that will help other products, such as masonry, adopt it more easily," says Mark Perniconi, executive director of the Charles Pankow Foundation. "I give the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) credit for being pioneers in this effort."
Since 2006, the foundation and PCI have funded the development of the Precast Concrete National BIM Standard (NBIMS). The Precast NBIMS group has worked to identify the scope of BIM for precast, its design requirements, and practical ways to implement it.
Much of its work has been focused on overcoming precasters' biggest hurdle to implementation: software compatibility. The interoperability of data is key to the success of BIM for any industry, and major BIM software companies—including Nemetschek, Tekla, StructureWorks, Bentley Architecture, and Autodesk—are providing input. The goal is to allow universal communication between various BIM software programs in a neutral data exchange; the most common is called Industry Foundation Classes (IFC).
The precast standard is part of a National BIM Standard for the U.S. (NBIMS-US) being developed by the BuildingSmart Alliance, a council of the National Institute of Building Sciences. NBIMS-US is an evolving, consensus-based set of technical and practice specifications that could eventually be adopted by the construction industry.
This effort has been slow to catch on, as it attempts to encompass such a vast range of products and processes, and lacks the government support required for enforcement. Industry stakeholders seem to agree that a national standard will not be what convinces precasters to adopt BIM. "The real driver will be customer demand for BIM-driven projects," says Roger Becker, managing director of research and development for PCI.
PCI supplements the NBIMS-US effort by supporting work on BIM data exchanges. "Over the past year, we have learned that the National BIM Standards world was not ready for a domain as large as precast concrete," says Becker. "Mechanisms for validation of data exchanges were rudimentary, manual, and terribly time-consuming."
This disconnect has prompted a new phase of work for PCI, funded by the Charles Pankow Foundation. Professor Chuck Eastman, the "Father of BIM," leads a project at the Georgia Tech Digital Building Laboratory to automate the data checking process within IFC, ensuring the correct information is where it should be for different software platforms to work together. Eastman also serves as a technical advisor to Precast NBIMS.
Within BIM for precast, PCI has identified 11 key points of data exchange in which different systems must communicate. These can be within a precaster's operation (for example, tying estimating software to robotic stations) or between project partners (from a rebar supplier's software to the producer's). "Precast is complicated because producers can play the role of primary contractor, subcontractor, or manufacturer on various projects," says Perniconi.
Eastman's group has validated one of these 11 exchanges and plans to finish the remaining 10 by the end of this year. BIM software companies can begin testing and implementing the exchanges, even as they're being developed and tested.

Two key founders of Torchlight series makers Runic Games, Travis Baldree and Erich Schaefer, have left the company to form an indie studio called Double Damage Games that will work on products of a smaller scale. Travis Baldree and Erich Schaefer announced their departure from Runic Games on the developer's forum, saying the split was "amicable."
"I should say from the outset that this is an amicable departure," Baldree wrote, "that I consider the amazing team at Runic my friends and family, and that it is a privilege that they've let me get away with running the place for this long. I love them all, and the biggest downside to all of this is that I won't get to see them every day. They are the reason that Runic has succeeded, and are the best group of people you could hope to meet or work with."
"I'm personally excited – oh, hell, I'm SUPER-STOKED – to be getting back to smaller-scale development, where I can wear many, many hats performing many, many different kinds of tasks," Baldree added."Working within the boundaries of limited means and resources is the best fun I've ever had, and that sort of work satisfies me in a fundamental way – I can't wait to be working that way again."
Runic CEO Max Schaefer (the brother of Erich) wished his former colleagues well.
"As Travis said in his statement, this is a perfectly amicable parting, and we wish them nothing but the best in their new endeavour. I'm sure we'll all be watching and waiting for what they make next. It's sure to be wonderful."
Both Travis Baldree and Erich Schaefer worked on Torchlight and Torchlight 2. Prior to that they worked at Hellgate: London studio Flagship Studios. Baldree actually created the spiritual successor to Torchlight while working at Wild Tangent – a wonderful action role-playing game called FATE.
No doubt the duo will get back to creating games like FATE at their newly founded studio.
Runic Games is owned by MMO company Perfect World Entertainment.

Cape St. George
Photo courtesy of theFlorida Division of Historical Resources.
In 1833, a 65-foot tower was built on St. George Island to guide boats into the port of Apalachicola. A new tower two miles away replaced it in 1847, with a third-order lens seen 15 miles into the Gulf of Mexico. This lighthouse fell during the same hurricane in 1851 that toppled the Cape San Blas and Dog Island lights. The current Cape St. George Lighthouse is a white brick structure built in 1852. The tower is 70 feet high and, although solidly built, has been undermined by continuous erosion and a series of hurricanes during the 1990s. It was deactivated in 1994. The lighthouse today is part of the Cape St. George State Reserve, a 10-mile-long section of the barrier island that was separated by a ship channel in 1954. The lighthouse grounds may be visited.

Arkansas governor Mike Beebe vetoes bill that would've barred abortions past 12 weeks
(CNN) -- Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe vetoed a bill Monday afternoon that would have prohibited abortions if a fetus' heartbeat could be detected 12 or more weeks into a pregnancy.
In a statement, Beebe claimed the measure "blatantly contradicts the United States Constitution."
Known as the "Arkansas Human Heartbeat Protection Act," the bill would require testing to determine "whether the fetus that the pregnant woman is carrying possesses a detectable heartbeat."
Abortions would be banned if the fetus has a detected heartbeat "and is under 12 weeks or greater gestation."
The bill could still be enacted if the state legislature overrides the veto of Beebe, a Democrat. It passed the state Senate by a 26-8 vote and the House by a 68-20 vote.

JACKSON, Miss. – The Jackson State baseball team earned a tough 2-1 mid-week victory over the Tougaloo College Bulldogs Wednesday night at Braddy Field. With the bases loaded, in the 10th inning, Jose Cruz was hit by the pitcher to send Bryce Taylor home for the game winning run.
With the win JSU improves to a 17-6 overall record.
The game, played between JSU and Tougaloo, was a replacement game for the Tigers after the game scheduled for earlier this week against South Alabama was cancelled.
Sergio Parra (2-2) pitched three innings in relief to pick up the win. He allowed one hit and struck six batters en route to the victory. For the game JSU pitchers allowed 7 hits and struck out eight batters. Tilur Smith led the Tigers offense, going 2-4 at the plate.
JSU returns to action Saturday and Sunday when the Tigers host Alabama State in a SWAC three game series. The winner of the series will sit atop the SWAC Eastern Division.

vs. BIBLE
I wonder what would
happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our
cell phone?
What if we carried
it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped
through it several times a day?
What if we turned
back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used
it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated
it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave
it to kids as gifts?
What if we used
it when we traveled?
What if we used
it in case of an emergency?
This is something
to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?
Unlike our cell phone; there are no dropped calls!
Oh, and one more thing. We don't have to worry about our Bible
disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill!
Makes you stop and
think 'where are my priorities?

Oh! That's the Art-Deco version. Very collectible.
I was thinking a good soak in Oxalic acid might take care of it.
It is NOW !
I was riding with a buddy yesterday through mostly woodsy trails, a lot of which were covered in ice and snow. We both brought our winter snow-tired bikes. His is a Bridgestone MTB w/ lots of clearance between tire and clip-on rear fender. Mine's not. So a well placed stick as I was cruising along made its way up my back tire and took the fender along with it, at which point I came to a stop.
But all was not lost as I was able to do a reasonable job of straightening the fender out after I took those pics above.
Not exactly showroom quality, but it'll work for my commuter bike.
I thought there for a moment you had one of those new fender/rack combos...

It seems that Kendrick Lamar left one more name out of his controversial verse from Big Sean's "Control," in which he took on a cadre of other rappers he'd go toe-to-toe with. That name? The barely pronounceable Haim, who recently revealed to MTV News their West Coast hip-hop influences.
Haim's debut LP, Days Are Gone, dropped on September 30, and there among all the indie rock goodness is borderline rap track, "My Song 5."
"It's not a secret that we're huge fans of West Coast hip-hop," Este said of the track when asked what influenced its hard-driving sound.
"I think that's what we actually end up listening to the most when we're back in L.A.," Danielle added, shouting out K-Dot as a rapper they particularly admire. "He reps the West Coast and L.A. pretty hard," she said.
Alana also cited some more old-school influences: "We've always been Dr. Dre fans — like the biggest Dr. Dre fans, Snoop Dogg, Tupac — that's what we grew up with," she said. "We grew up loving West Coast hip-hop."
For the trio, though, their love of those tunes was a clandestine affair. "We couldn't listen to it with our parents around," Alana said, with Este adding, "We had to save our money and buy Discmans and headphones so that we could listen to it without our parents knowing."
Although their parents, whom they used to play in a cover band with still attend their shows — cue the massive awwws — we think it's safe to say Haim no longer has to hide their love of Kendrick and Co. from the 'rents.
Free from the watchful eyes of their elders, perhaps now they use their newly discovered "Cojones" to craft their own "Control" response. Three heads are better than one, after all.

QUESTION: Do you want to finally learn, in a step-by-step fashion, how "million-dollar marketers" are REALLY doing it with their websites? If so, then follow me as we… "'Peel Away' Outrageously Profitable Websites, and Learn Their Inside Secrets You Can Use to Turn YOURS Into a Profit-Pushing Powerhouse That Rams Streams of Cash Into Your Bank Account TODAY!"
I know how aggravating it is to listen to advice, get your hopes up, spends tons of money, work your "anatomy" off getting it all together, and then wait, and wait, and wait, and… NOTHING! Not even a single sale! Does this sound familiar to you? If so, then… "Follow Me as I Take a Serious, Step-by-Step, HARD Look at a Pool of Winning Websites That, Combined, Produce Several MILLIONS of Dollars Every Year… And Then See How YOU, Too, Can Profit From 'Swiping' These Untold, Little-Known, Closely-Guarded Secrets!"
Click here to learn more!
This brand-new, simple yet high-powered learning tool will allow you to…
- Access six hour-long, head-to-head conversations with the "brains" behind the web's most successful sites as they explain to you, in grueling detail and without any holding back, their most profitable — and some never-revealed! — strategies.
- "Rub shoulders" with some of the top Internet marketers (including Joe Vitale, Jonathan Mizel, Jim Edwards, Marlon Sanders, Dean Jackson and yours truly) who usually speak at events that charge $1,500.00 to $5,000.00 per person to attend!
- Listen as I'm grilling each "pro," follow as they reveal their most intimate tactics, and easily "stop-and-pause" when you want — at your own pace! — while you carefully study each section of the sales letter the expert is "anatomizing" for you!
- Eavesdrop on closed-door, "question-and-answer" sessions included with each interview, as you learn more than just actually writing persuasive web copy from the inside-out but also getting a deeper understanding of the entire psychology behind it.
- Get far more mileage out of your current website — in fact, once you go through the program you won't need to get a single, additional visitor to your site, because you can start making even more money by making your copy far more productive!
- Learn web copy "nooks-and-crannies" to increase your revenue so that you can start adverting in places that were too expensive before, and that will enable you to crush your competition because you can afford to pay more to get a customer!
Plus, you don't need any special writing skills, copywriting experience or any other skill for that matter! (Heck, I don't even know how to put up a web page!) I'm even prepared to shell out over $5,017.00 worth of materials and "bribes" to get you going…I really DON'T want to convince you that you need another "how-to," Internet marketing, "here's-how-it's-done-because-I-said-so" kind of program. Instead, I want to show you by "dissecting" actual examples of a handful of websites that are proven HOT-sellers!
Listen. There are lots of "so-called" Internet experts out there trying to sell you their "how-to" garbage — but only a handful have proven that they've really "made it."
I carefully handpicked, poked and prodded ONLY proven, profitable websites!
Here's why. These wealthy marketers tested everything to find THEIR gold nuggets. They learned everything to make THEIR websites sell. And they tried everything with THEIR website copy to finally learn what really works — and what doesn't! That way…
You slash your learning curve down to a small fraction of the time you would otherwise spend on having to find, learn and absorb all of the material yourself; You chop the time down that you would otherwise spend on testing everything on your own, guessing your way through it all and making all the mistakes yourself; You get an "insider's first crack" at new ideas and even some never-revealed breakthroughs that have made these star marketers' sales volcanically explode!
And with this type of broken-down examination, you can easily follow the examples on your screen, and pause the program at will… In other words, you can take your time to learn and internalize everything at YOUR own pace! There's no rush!
But Don't Wait! Every Second You do, a Visitor on Your Website is Potentially Passing Through Your Fingers! Get Started Right NOW!
So, won't you join me? When you do, I'll look forward to welcoming you into the ranks of the TOP 1% of all websites on the Internet that REALLY make the sale…
