Sarah & Chad's Long Distance School of Style
House Tour
Name: Sarah & Chad
Location: Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada
Size: 1350 square feet
Lived in: 6 months
Sarah and Chad (who you might remember from their House Call) make me feel lazy. I have a long list of decorating to-dos and the only thing holding me back is me! Living in a big city, my access to supplies is widespread, shopping for furniture both new and used is a no-brainer, prices are competitive and shipping costs for home improvement goods just isn't usually a factor. Not so for these two! They live in Iqaluit, in the northernmost part of Canada where there are only two stores, prices are inflated and simply getting things shipped in is a major consideration…
Sarah fills us in: I live in the Canadian arctic in the newest and northernmost territory. There are no roads to connect us to the rest of Canada and everything must be flown in or brought in once a year by boat. You can imagine how difficult and expensive that is. My boyfriend and I bought a condo here six months ago and have been slowly changing the beige box into a colorful home that brightens even the 24 hours of darkness in the winter. We love the people, landscape and culture here and now we love our home too. It's also pretty fun to snowmobile to work.
Sarah and Chad don't let any of the considerable logistics and availability issues created by their location stop them from creating the home they want. This lovingly designed place came together quickly - working hard, on a budget, thanking the internet gods for Etsy and eBay and going DIY whenever possible, they have slowly but surely turned a basic interior into a one of kind, distinctively designed home.
Looking at the photos of their place is like a taking a quick course in good DIY design: lessons included are how to embrace incorporate pattern and color fearlessly and well, how to add personality by embracing family memories and secondhand finds and how to make easily available materials feel unique through imaginative use. Take a peek at the slideshow to see what I mean - school is in session!
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: Modern and graphic
Inspiration: travel, design blogs, magazines and online magazines
Favorite Element: The amount of space we have now. We moved to Nunavut with 2-bedroom apartment's worth of furniture and lived in a tiny one-bedroom place for almost three years. The sofa blocked the entrance to the bedroom and the bathroom was practically in the middle of the living room- not great for having guests over.
Biggest Challenge: Working with what we have and figuring out what we can get shipped here on a budget.
What Friends Say: 'Are we still in Iqaluit?'
Biggest Embarrassment: The kitchen and bathroom counters. They are the next things we plan on changing.
Proudest DIY: Installing (and carrying up the 40 stairs to our door) all new flooring. The original vinyl floor was what we coined 'vomit camouflage'
Biggest Indulgence: Paint- it was so expensive here. We started with the intention of painting the bathroom and ending up painting the entire place in a few weekends. The hardware store employees kept saying 'you're back again?'
Best Advice: If you're on a budget or don't have access to things it is possible to make what you have work-try ordering a slipcover, repaint something old, check out garage sales or if you're lucky to have it-Craigslist. Rummage sales are very popular here since there is very little reasonably priced furniture to buy. It is an Iqaluit weekend tradition in the summer to go 'rummage sale-ing'. There is also a great online sell/swap site for Iqaluit- everyone here really makes use of everything.
Dream Sources: Being able to shop for vintage items in person- or go to a flea market or antique store- it's just not always the same buying things online. Design Within Reach, Paris flea markets or Marrakech would also be nice.

Love! The orange lamps are my favorite pieces.
it's so refreshing and exciting to see canadian representation in the house tours. love love love the entryway! thanks for sharing!!
hello from vancouver bc!
Brilliantly done! I love that there are touches of red, black & green throughout to unify the space. Thank you for the exterior photos, too, as i could not even picture your setting.
Loving the mix of color and patterns!
I love this. I'm torn between the living room and the bedroom being my favorite, but those klippans look sweet in the bemz covers against the wallpaper.
So glad AT did a full house tour. I was very curious to see the outside and views.
I love that laundry poster! I've been scouring Etsy and can't seem to find it. Anyone have a link?
amazing what you have accomplished. simply and truly inspiring.
but i'm really curious as to why you choose to live in Iqualuit. It just seems like such a huge hassle.
"Hello" from Saskatoon SK! Love seeing Canadian tours, especially from places other than Toronto. This place is fantastic!
I'm always hearing about how expensive food is up north, so I can't even imagine furniture. Well done.
Mesmerizing. Your color and pattern choices are inspired, and inspiring.
I really like the idea of the wallpapered bookcase, and I like the wall hanging over the bed.
I LOVE that outdoor lighting fixture in your laundry room!
Thanks for the outside pics! Very interesting the way the homes are built. Why are they built that way?
But brrrr, I'm getting chilly just thinking about Iqualuit!
I am also very curious about why you ended up living in such a desolate place. Jobs? Anyway, love your place, especially the bedroom!
I love the textile over the bed, and the turquoise mirror!
Very well done with lots of constraints!
The wallhanging in image 18 is beautiful! Where did Sarah and Chad find it? Also, the Frtiz Kahn Poster is great - where to find a print....
love this! Feels so like "home" not show home at all! I truly feel like I could move in next week! Love your resourcefulness and what must be patience! Hello from steveston bc!
I'm impressed that it was all done in 6 months, but because the home incorporates basically every curent design trend I wonder if it's going to feel dated in a year or two. I certainly admire the effort however!
I had lately rearranged my sofa so that it's at a 90 degree angle to the TV.. yes, i get more space that way but yikes my neck pain!
This is a lovely HT. I, too love the mix of colors and patterns! Good job!
The bedroom is fantastic! Love the artwork/tapestry. Mandi.
I can totally understand living in such a beautiful place as Iqaluit! It's a whole different world up there. I live on Vancouver Island where everything comes by plane or boat but now I won't complain about it ever again as it's only about two hours to Vancouver. Beautiful and inspiring job on your place!
hello from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.
Great to see a place in Canada and one that is as handily and creatively done as this.
For those who ask why they would live in iqaluit - what an arrogant question. Why do you live where you do? Is New York, or Boston, or LA, or SF the centre of the universe? People who fall in love with the north will tell you of the wondrous beauty, the immense peace of silence, the community that comes from living together in such a remote location, and amazing colours of the northern lights.
Different strokes for different folks.
This is awesome. I always tend to appreciate a house a bit more if it isn't plum full of CB2, Ikea, or Pottery Barn. Nice work!
plumb* excuse me.
Love it. The Bemz covers are perfect for your place.
Bindy, I'm with you! That question comes across as pretty rude.
It's so great to see Nunavut represented on here! Gorgeous house. I love your style - it's fresh but warm and friendly. Great job!
What is the wall paint in your bathroom/powder room? I love it.
I don't see the question of "Why Iqaluit ?" as rude at all. Keep in mind that most of us don't live in such a remote area. So to willingly want to is bound to elicit curiosity.
That being said - I LOVE the two chairs in the LR: the one with the green velvet upholstery and the FABULOUS one next to it.
Beautiful place folks!
I love this tour...I loved it as a house call and am glad to see the rest of the place...the colours are great. Love the kitchen back splash, too! Great inspiration for only living there for such a short period of time.
I remember your house call and am glad to see a fulll tour. I also have black and white as a base and it works brilliantly. The tapestry in the bedroom is great and I love the couches and that wallpaper. Everything is nice. Wow I can't imagine having to wall up and down those stairs several times a day. Good for you. I am sure it keeps you young.
I love your place too! So bright and cheery, I know that it's not always so sunny outside as it is in. It will do you well this winter no doubt!
I don't think that "Why Iqaluit" alone is a rude question - it's a good one! and the answer has to be your work, I would think - but the way people asked came off a little ignorant of the north (i.e., "desolate" definitely has negative connotations). But if you've never been, how would you know what it's like?
I love how you've mixed black and white prints with bright splashes of colour. It's my favourite combination in decor. That Otomi panel is to die for, too!
Great job! I've lived in far less remote areas where I couldn't do 10% of what you've managed to do. Congratulations on the logistics alone ... and, of course, on the beautiful space you've created.
Amazing! A true oasis. Love your use of colour and admire your quick work. 6 months! Wow! After 4 years our place isn't even close, and we're not in Nunavut.
PS Go territories!
So happy to see a tour, I loved your home from your house call.
You did a wonderful job mixing prints and color, looks modern but homey too...I love your perfume bottle collection.
obsessed with the hanging above the bed
Amazing! Love the paint jobs, kitchen tiles, bold graphics. And I'm in the curious camp, what brought you there? I'm fascinated. @bindy not rude I'm sure I'm not the only reader who never heard of iqaluit.
wow - that's quite a lot of work to do in 6 months! i've been planning a paint job of my living room for twice as long! kudos on a job well done.
you place looks wonderful. a well balanced use of colors and patterns - brings it all together. i'm not a fan of the minty green you are using throughout certain rooms - but it does work as a color theme.
the only bummer i see, and i preface this with the fact that we pitched our tv set 9 years ago, is the dominance of the flat panel tv screen in the living room. i wish there were better ways to hide these sets (behind a large painting?) so they wouldn't dominate the space so much.
but other than that i really love your place and am intrigued by the exterior and entire housing complex. any more details and this would be helpful. thanks for sharing. edgaroso
WOW, WOW, WOW! I think you have an extraordinary job. You guys have such a great eye for putting it all together, I am a bit ashamed of myself for not doing more with what is available here in the T.O. I do agree with Cashew, it is nice to see other parts of the the "Great White North"!
You live above the Arctic Circle and you don't have a garage?
Nice place; very ambitiously done for people who have to pay so much to have everything delivered. Creatively put together.
Also very glad this was made into a full tour. I am so impressed by the use of color and pattern throughout Sarah and Chad's condo. Not to mention the patience and resourcefulness required to pull it off in such a remote area of the world.
bindy, there's no need to get defensive over the "why Iquluit? question. This whole site is devoted to lifestyle choices--apartment versus house, urban versus suburban, high-tech versus low, and so on. I actually think it's more rude that you assume those of us asking the question must live in a big American city (is that where you think "arrogant" people come from?) and that you then answer the question posed to the homeowners.
This is a definite favorite of mine! The tree wallpaper is so fantastic, and the small tiles in the kitchen backsplash have been added to my list of options when I have my own place. I'm feeling so inspired!
Part of the why question is, I think, a how question. How did you end up in a small, remote place, what is life like, and how do you make a living there?
My question was definitely not intended to come across as rude. I don't think that by asking "why" i'm at all commenting on the fact that where i live is superior. Their introduction, their interest in design, and the community nature of this forum are all good reasons why it's not rude to ask such a question. It's called curiosity!
Totally inspiring. I am going to stop complaining about Maine ever again.
Very beautiful and original. Love that a shot of the exterior was included even though it is not lovely...really puts the space in context.
That bedroom is sheer perfection. I assume you painted two different nightstands the same color. I like the multi color large pillow on the bed and how it coordinates with that spectacular tapestry. The orange lamps add a lot of umph. The black and white bedspread provides a nice base. It's just the perfect balance.
I am curious about the flokati rug in the living room. I adore flokati but if you are tracking in snow and mud from outside it would seem difficult to maintain. Do you have a no shoes or boots policy?
house voyeur - don't know about the folks profiled, but in general, in Canada, we take our shoes off at the door. I don't know of any house, in all of the five provinces where I've lived, where people keep shoes on.
you know, curiosity about where someone lives is one thing. Adding a value judgment ('desolate') is something entirely different; then it's moved from curiosity to something quite derogatory.
Note that nobody ever asks people who live in big cities why they live there. But these are questions that come up when people live in small towns, remote areas or, sometimes, the midwestern US. perhaps we might want to ask ourselves why that is.
I love this house tour!! You made it all come together to become a beautiful warm home. I have relatives from Oregon, Cali and are always amazed we Canadians take off our shoes at the door, I can't think of a Province that doesn't. To the question as to "why" live in Iqaluit, I ask "why not" ....Howdy from Abbotsford, BC
I am very impressed by this style.
I looked at it and thought how refreshing and unique it looked. My first thought was that they must live somewhere that has a TON of cool resources that I don't have, because this place is stunning.
I'm seriously happy to see that this can be accomplished without living in NY or California.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that the wallpaper is from WALMART. I don't even like walmart, but it's the place we shop. I think it's awesome to see that you don't have to have Design Within Reach to get an amazing fresh look.
bindy: it seems that you are hung up on the word "desolate." This is a home ABOVE THE ARCTIC CIRCLE. We are not talking about Toronto or Vancouver or Calgary. Most people think of any place that far north as "desolate" in the sense of "lonely or isolated." I do not think any offense was meant by the people who asked the question--rather, we are all fascinated and impressed!
And you are wrong to suggest that no one questions why people would live in big cities. Ask anyone who pays an exorbitant amount to live in Manhattan how often they get the question--"you pay THAT much for a tiny fifth-floor walk-up studio??" I get asked frequently why I would move to the upper Midwest from the tropics and never take offense, even when people say "are you crazy? why would you want to live in such a (forbidding, nasty, unsophisticated...insert word of choice) place?"
I know we live in tense times, but not everything has to be turned into a confrontation. Sometimes a question is just a question.
P.S. the no-shoe rule makes me want to move to Canada.
Charming and full of self confidence. You provide proof that good taste doesn't require big bucks, rare commodities or fancy lables (that is, so long as shipping expences are reasonable)
27 years ago, I spent time in Iceland (probably warm by your standards). I noticed that they made extravagent use of color, even dayglow florescent paint on house exteriors, which in the low northern summer light looked perfectly normal, and in the winter may be necessary to locate isolated buildings.
You made extensive use of gray, yet also used lots of pure, strong color accents. Did the light affect your choices? Does the home create the same feelings in summer and winter?
Greetings and complements from one of the world's hot spots: Jerusalem.
What a great house tour. Like some of the other responses I love you yellow lamp and the wall hanging above your bed.
Yea! Canada! So awesome. I'm in awe of the beauty of your space, especially amidst the complexity of getting everything there. I really want to see the Territories and your tour has made me even more! Way to go.
Love! And Love Canada!!
Artistic, and cozy. When does the snow fly?
Wow! This place is incredible. Playful, bright, modern - with an array of prints and colours. Beautifully put together. Well done my Canadian friends :)
This place is so much fun. I adore it. What talent you two have to mix patterns and colors so. I am a bit jealous. :-) How is it that you live so far North? Jobs, internships, relationships bring you there? I live in the country, and my friends ask me about living where it is so quiet, so far away from "stuff". So I am curious about what got you there!
I'm afraid I'm with Bindy. I'm sure people are curious (I am) but the same question can be asked without the use of negative-sounding word like "desolate", and without the immediate assumption that it could only be for work purposes.
@Sarah and Chad
Great job! Such a lovely and inviting place.
Love it! Thank you for sharing your home and your story.
It's nice to see someone who is unafraid of pattern on pattern design!
I think this is beautifully done, and combined with the challenges they faced, it is superb. I love the silver birch wallpaper and I cannot believe it is from Wal Mart! Love it!
I was hoping we'd get to see a full tour, and you delivered. I'm absolutely charmed by this space.
Wow! What a place. So cheery and light. Well done :)
I had a friend that did some seasonal work in Iqaluit a few years ago, and personally I think it is a completely reasonable question to ask "why Iqaluit?" I mean come on, Bindy:)
If I didn't know why my friend was going there specifically, I would have asked him the exact same question.
Also, I'm from St. John's and have long-since moved away. I suspect that the reason Bindy is coming across as defensive is because St. John's is sometimes treated like some sort of far-away land of northern remoteness (or as some sort of East Coast hick town full of fishermen by even other Canadians!), and often people mistakenly think that Canada's East Coast ends at Halifax. I think she's defending Iqaluit because she's probably had to defend St. John's. Just a theory...
I came back to look at this house tour again because I love it so much.
I don't really see "desolate" as insulting. Personally, when I think of desolate, I think of natural beauty, silence, serenity. I live in the lovely Providence, by the beautiful Brown University, and my friend calls it a "sh*t-hole". Now THAT is an insult.
You could do worse than desolate.
I love the tree wallpaper, entry way tile and the industrial wall light fixture. The green wall color is pretty sick too! Is that a new Kenmore Elite Dishwasher...? How do you like it?
Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Here are some answers to questions;
-The laundry room poster was vintage from Etsy so I'm not sure there are any more but the seller was AccessoryAddiction
-The buildings here have to have pilings drilled into the permafrost so that's why they are on 'stilts'.
-It is desolate here but that is part of the beauty. We both originally came here for work but have stayed because of the great community and friends we have made.
-The wallhanging was purchased on a trip to Mexico. I've seen them online but they've been almost three times the price.
-We bought the Fritz Kahn poster in Berlin, so I'm not sure where else it can be found.
-Yes, the huge TV was a compromise. One of us would prefer not to have it but both of us love watching movies on it.
-The flokati rug is hard to keep clean but it's so soft. We don't wear shoes in the house- although in the winter you could since the snow never melts so there is no slush or mud.
-We didn't pick any colours with light conditions in mind- they were just ones that we liked. It helps to have a variety of light sources all on dimmers which makes it cosy in the winter.
Also-yes it is a Kenmore Elite Dishwasher and we absolutely love it. It is so quite you only hear the water draining.
TOTALLY didn't intend to be rude! Just curious that's all. I live in a small town in Ohio, so I appreciate community, peace, and quiet.
The patterns here are so much fun. Sarah and Chad, I am really curious, what kind of work do you do that led you to Iqaluit?
Adore the little pops of patterns!
This is an AMAZing house tour! Just goes to show what you can do with a little ingenuity....
You rock Iqaluit! How're the walls? Superinsulated and surprisingly warm?
Love love love the tree/branch wallpaper and the backsplash! Gorgeous place.

Thrangu, Rinpoche
Adult Nonfiction BQ4450.R363 T47 2006
Summary: According to Tibetan Buddhist tradition, human beings' true nature, or buddha essence, is the foundation from which all wisdom develops. In order to discover our buddha essence, the meditator needs to know how to meditate correctly and must properly understand the reasons for practicing meditation. We also need training in how the philosophy and practice come together in the development of insight. In this book--with clarity, warmth, and humor--renowned Tibetan Buddhist meditation master Khenchen Thrangu explains buddha essence and how to discover it in ourselves by drawing on a classical text of the Kagyu lineage by Rangjung Dorje (the third Karmapa). On Buddha Essence will be of interest to practitioners of all schools of Tibetan Buddhism.

View from the Hill, April 10, 2014
Autism Awareness - By now you've probably heard the numbers. The CDC says one in 68 children has an autism spectrum disorder, up 30 percent from two years ago. In this week's View from the Hill, Amy Bingham shows us how the programs offered inside WKU's Suzanne Vitale Clinical Education Complex remain engaged in the front lines of this battle.

GREEN BAY, WI (WHBL) - The Green Bay Packers moved to within a half-game of first place in the N-F-C North Division, after beating Detroit 22-9 Sunday at Lambeau Field. Each team scored one touchdown, as the Lions lost for the 23rd straight time in Wisconsin. Mason Crosby had a career-high five field goals. He tied a Packers' single-game record with kicks from 55, 45, 42, 31, and 26 yards out. After struggling last season, Crosby is 9 for 9 in field goals this year. Packers' rookie running back Eddie Lacy fell a yard short of the 100-yard mark in his first game since getting a concussion on September 15th. Receiver Randall Cobb sparked the Packer offense with a 67-yard run in the second half. It was the longest rush by a Packer since Brandon Jackson had a 71-yard scamper in 2010. Green Bay racked up 449 total yards to just 286 for the Lions, whose star receiver Calvin Johnson sat out with a knee injury. Aaron Rodgers completed 20 of 30 passes for 274 yards. James Jones caught four catches for 127 yards, including an 83 yard touchdown pass. Matthew Stafford was 25 of 40 for 262 yards and a score for the Lions. Former Wisconsin Badger DeAndre Levy had a team-high 14 tackles for Detroit, which had their two-game winning streak snapped.Packers' linebacker Clay Matthews left in the second half, when he injured a thumb on a sack of Stafford - one of five sacks by the Green Bay defense. Fox Sports-One later reported that Matthews broke the thumb, and his playing status is uncertain. Rodgers was only sacked once. Neither team committed a turnover. The Packers also lost starting inside linebacker Brad Jones to a hamstring injury. His replacement, Robert Francois, tore his right Achilles tendon and is expected to be out for the season. Green Bay improved to 2-2, and will play at Baltimore next Sunday.

Ramon Segovia started work at 16 years old as a sports coordinator for the Palmview Boys and Girls Club.
Tuesday night, 15 years later, he was named city manager of Palmview, which has about 6,000 residents. Segovia graduated from Mission High School in 2000, but he makes it clear he's from Palmview. His grandfather, Ramiro Vela, was one of the founders of the community and served as mayor.
"It's more than a job for me. It's a part of me, my family, my life," Segovia said. "We're a small city with a big heart. We're growing. We're trying the best we can."
At one point during college, Segovia left the city for two years, but he came back after earning a finance degree at the University of Texas Pan American. At that time, Segovia had just lost his father to cancer and he wanted a steady job so he could be more involved with little brothers and sisters. He's now taking classes to earn a master's degree.
At first, former city manager Johnn Alaniz made Segovia an executive assistant, but he promoted him about six months later when the assistant city manager retired. At 26, Segovia was the assistant city manager.
Alaniz announced his resignation in April after serving 11 years, stating that he was stepping away to get more involved in the family's healthcare business, and Segovia was named interim city manager. Alaniz also serves as a trustee on the La Joya Independent School District board. He spoke during public comment Tuesday, telling members of the city council they're moving in the right direction.
"Back him up," Alaniz said. "Don't look at age; look at experience."
After an executive session, the council approved Segovia's appointment unanimously. He was given a one-year contract and said they are still negotiating pay.
Segovia said many of the city's 48 employees have been there since he started as a 16-year-old kid.
"At first I thought the transition was going to be difficult in that they'd still see me as 16, and now I'm their boss," Segovia said. "But it's gone well. I'm learning as I go but trying to do my best for the city."
Segovia has high hopes for the future of the city, especially after $31.5 million was announced this week for a sewer system.
"I think we're on the verge of a boom," he said. "We just got the sewer approved, and I think that's going to lead to a growth in economic development."

'This road brought to you by…'
As the state budget inches closer to passage by the General Assembly, the Virginia Department of Transportation is hoping to raise money by selling the naming rights for roads, bridges and highway stretches.
"We look for revenue generation opportunity where we can, and we try to be creative with it," VDOT spokeswoman Tamara Rollison said.
She said it has been a struggle for VDOT to maintain Virginia's infrastructure in light of the department's financial troubles.
"Our resources and revenues have been dwindling over the years," she said, noting that a 1986 gas tax increase was the most recent serious increase in revenue. "When we can find innovative ways to partner with the private sector and generate some revenue, we try to do that."
On March 10, the final day of the regular legislative session, the General Assembly passed two identical bills authorizing the Commonwealth Transportation Board, VDOT's governing body, to sell the naming rights for such facilities as roads and ferries.
"The Board shall develop and approve guidelines governing the naming of highways, bridges, interchanges, and other transportation facilities by private entities and the applicable fees for such naming rights. Such fees shall be deposited in the Highway Maintenance and Operating Fund," according to Senate Bill 639 and House Bill 1248.
The legislation, which is awaiting Gov. Bob McDonnell's signature, says roads and facilities that already commemorate someone or carry a special name cannot be renamed "unless such naming incorporates the previous name."
Moreover, "No name shall be eligible for the naming rights … if it in any way reasonably connotes anything that (i) is profane, obscene, or vulgar; (ii) is sexually explicit or graphic; (iii) is excretory related; (iv) is descriptive of intimate body parts or genitals; (v) is descriptive of illegal activities or substances; (vi) condones or encourages violence; or (vii) is socially, racially, or ethnically offensive or disparaging."
Early projections of the prices and sales of road naming rights show that the program could raise a few million dollars per year and $273 million over the next 20 years. That's a mere fraction of VDOT's annual budget, which is $4.76 billion for fiscal year 2012.
Still, every little bit helps, officials say.
That's especially true as the General Assembly holds a special session to craft a state budget for the next two years. The House and Senate have passed competing budgets, and a conference committee is trying to hammer out a compromise acceptable to both chambers.
The Senate version of the budget would delay the opening of tolls in Hampton Roads until 2014. This could cost the state an estimated $125 million. VDOT could offset some of the loss by selling the naming rights for roads.
Virginia already has developed a naming rights program for its highway rest stops, slated to begin later this year.
The central question is whether putting a name on a bridge or road will be attractive to consumers, especially to businesses seeking to expand their brand's reach.
"I think the companies will love it," said Bridget Camden, a professor of advertising at Virginia Commonwealth University. "Every time someone hits MapQuest, the name would come up."
Camden, who spent 20 years in the advertising world working with companies such as IBM, BP and American Express, said companies initially might jump at the chance to brand a highway with their logo if the price is right. But certain factors could deter businesses from buying the naming rights.
"I think it could backfire on them if they can't control the stretch of road," Camden said. For instance, roads can have problems ranging from litter to prostitution – and those things could hurt a company's image.
Camden said controlling the "brand message" and associations tied to a company is key for effective advertising.
"Every company wants their name associated with something positive, but what if that stretch of highway is accident prone?" she asked.
One possible solution is that companies not only buy the naming rights to the road or highway but also "adopt" the stretch and do some basic maintenance.
"Big corporations become very conscious about how they look, so maybe it will be incentive to keep the roads clean," Camden said.

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its anniversary during Publick Day, a signature annual event that celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the New World. In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

This was the best. Erving Walker drove to the hoop and got knocked down. Patric Young was trailing behind him and almost fell on top of Erv (which would not have ended well).
Erv laid down on his stomach and had a dead stare on his face. Young put his hand out to help Erv up, but Erv didn't grab it.
So Young just picked Erv up off the court himself.

Final stages of Birch Bay plan delayed
By Jack Kintner
Birch Bay steering committee put the final touches on the
land use chapter of the comprehensive plan last Wednesday
and, with three meetings left, hopes to have the full plan
ready for adoption by February 20.
The plan was originally scheduled to be ready by the end of last month but the process has slowed. Steering committee chair Meg Grable expressed her frustration in a memo to consultants Mart Kask and Pat Milliken that she read at the beginning of Wednesdays meeting, saying in part, I would like to see an excellent, quality product; however, as chair of this planning process Id like to encourage you to proceed in the most rapid fashion. There are committee members who spend hours on the material you present and are not happy beginning their review of said material less than 24 hours before discussing it. It would appear that this project is taking more time than you first predicted.
Grable expressed frustration at issues yet to be covered in the time remaining, such as hearing from the Birch Bay Chamber of Commerces new economic development committee or dealing with plan modifications suggested by Gold Star Resorts. Perhaps well learn more about this tonight, Grable said in her memo.
Kask admitted that the process is behind schedule, but said it has been necessary to make sure the plan is well documented and quantified before being submitted for review to the county planning commission and ultimately to the county council. It would be foolish of us to submit something that isnt ready, where two and two dont equal four. We will not charge for the extra time it has taken beyond our original estimate, Kask said. He added that he anticipates a very detailed scrutiny of the plan at the county level, and shortcuts taken now will only get us in trouble later on.
Committee member Bill Grant introduced Peter Spencer of Goldstar Resorts Inc. who proposed moving ten acres of general commercial zoned property from north to south of Arnie Road, making it contiguous with a larger piece of commercial land fronting on Blaine Road, and this passed 13-1. The other asked for a re-zone, from residential rural to resort commercial, of 40 acres Goldstar is purchasing immediately south of this enlarged commercial parcel. We would like to provide recreational sites away from the beach, said Spencer. The initial vote ended in a 6-6 tie, but when Grable asked for a second vote, the motion failed 7-6.
Birch Bay Water and Sewer District Commissioner Pat Alesse reassured some at the meeting over doubts about the districts ability to provide needed services as Birch Bays population expands in the next 20 years. There will be water for everyone. We still have Nooksack River rights we havent used yet, Alesse said.
Considerable discussion was devoted to 1300 acres owned by Trillium Corporation that lies between the BP Cherry Point refinery and the shoreline, now zoned for heavy industry but which the land use chapter designates residential low density and that Trillium hopes to develop for private homes.
Given all the considerations for wetlands and other factors, wed average about two houses per acre in the area, said Trillium vice president for development Bob Libolt.
Trillium and the refinery are currently negotiating the size of a buffer zone on the refinerys west side. Libolt provided several opportunities for the committee to tour the property, saying, You really cant tell much from a map. You get out there and see the property, the refinery and the setting and youll have a much better idea about all this. He said the next tour would be the next morning.
A dozen people showed up the next day in a high wind to drive through Trilliums proposed development, accompanied by Greg Rust, security and safety supervisor at the refinery, where both men described their respective preferences as to boundaries and buffer zones.
At an earlier meeting the committee had decided to leave the designation unchanged on this parcel to not prejudice negotiations between Trillium and BP.
The meeting closed with Bill Grant announcing that Rich Emerson, chairman of the economic development committee of the Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce, would be at the next meeting to make the presentation that Grable had alluded to in her memo. The remaining meetings, all on Wednesdays, are set for January 30, February 13 and 20..

A grieving pet owner is calling for change at Eden Prairie's Flying Cloud Dog Park after her 6-pound Yorkshire terrier was attacked and killed by a bigger dog on Monday.
Unlike some dog parks in the metro, there are no separate areas for large and small four-legged friends. Now, the owner of the dog that was killed is making it her mission to ensure something like this does not happen to someone else.
"We didn't even get within the gate, and he wasn't even off the leash," Tessie Brandbury recalled. "A pit bull grabbed him by the stomach and by the neck and shook him around like a chew toy."
Brandbury told FOX 9 News she instinctively tried to pry her dog, Winston, from the jaws of the larger dog.
"Without even thinking, I jumped on the pit bull and put my knee on him and tried to pull him off," Brandbury said. "Just was screaming for help and everyone but the owner came over to help me."
By the time the tiny Yorkie arrived at the Animal ER less than a mile away, Winston had bled to death.
Witnesses at the park said they'd never seen anything like it before.
"All I heard was a yelp and a scream, and then I saw what actually happened," Andrew Deal said. "[The owner's] first reaction was, 'Now this is another park we can't come to,' is what he said. It took a little while to leave. He said, 'I can't believe my dog would have bitten some other dog.'"
That reaction adds to Bradbury's pain as she copes with the trauma of losing her pet.
"Honestly, the one thing I would say is: 'Where were you when this happened? It's your responsibility," she said.
The owner of the pit bull told FOX 9 News he trusts his two young daughters to play with the 8-year-old named Diamond, and he admitted that his family left the park after the incident because they were worried the crowd may try to harm his dog. Eden Prairie police confirm the owner reported the incident upon returning home.
Pamela Sherritt said the larger dog had been acting aggressively in the park before Winston and his owner arrived, explaining that she left on another day because the owner wasn't paying close attention.
Sherritt said regular park users plan to start telling the owners of dogs that are acting out to pack up and go to avoid another loss, but Brandbury said she hopes the city will also create a safe zone for small pets.
"Even if it's just a small area, what is the cost to make a family -- or little children or little dogs -- feel safe?" Brandbury asked.
The City of Eden Prairie previously discussed making two separate areas for pooches to play in, but even at an acre, they said the space just wasn't big enough. Eden Prairie police are still investigating the incident.

Jul 31, 2014 - Finding Stamps in Ibiza
We had a rare day off the other day and I took the opportunity to pick up a few postcards which abound here in Ibiza. That was the easy part- well almost easy anyway, once you hunt down the person selling them that is, among all the towels with the imprinted Ibiza skink and fluff and bother touristy items.

May 16, 2012 - Formentera to Portinatx on NW coast of Ibiza
Set off mid-morning for the north of Ibiza, planning to sail across to Mallorca on Thursday as the wind is going to be in the right direction and the right strength for about the only day this week. Just after noon we passed the beached ferry again and finally completed the circuit of Formentera that we'd started on Sunday! We passed Ibiza Town and Santa Eulalia going between a wicked set of rocks and Isla Santa Eulalia and then rounding the north-east corner of Ibiza at about 15:00.

It got down to 3m below the hulls but thankfully the pilot was correct and we got safely through and anchored in Cala Tarida off the west coast. 11 May: Jane's birthday.

We caught our first sight of the Balearics at about 17:30 and then had both the mainland and the islands in view. Apart from avoiding a few tankers in the shipping lane it was an uneventful sail and we had a beautiful sunset with the coast of Spain backlit by the orange sky. We originally estimated that we'd arrive at about 3am but because the wind was so consistent, we got...Jump to full entry

I swear, the first week I was here prior to classes starting I did more walking than I have done the other 3 weeks combined! Traipsing around the city to get all of my errands done forced me to learn my way...Jump to full entry

So I'm off for my second trip to Ibiza. My first trip was totally insane and some of the things that happened belong in Industry Boy's blog. This place is trouble for those with low will power. And honestly, sometimes I fall into that category… here is my term paper service....... There is lots to see and do on these trips. Besides the insane location and the rock star club nights, there is just something unique about this place. It is a melting pot of debauchery that is designed to entertain those who love electronic music. If you haven't...Jump to full entry

5 Stocks Rising on Unusual Volume
MADISON, Wis. ( Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.
Major moves in volume can signal unusual activity, such as insider buying or selling -- or buying or selling by "superinvestors."
>>5 Stocks Poised to Pop on Bullish Earnings
Unusual volume can also be a major signal that hedge funds and momentum traders are piling into a stock ahead of a catalyst. These types of traders like to get in well before a large spike, so it's always a smart move to monitor unusual volume. That said, remember to combine trend and price action with unusual volume. Put them all together to help you decipher the next big trend for any stock.With that in mind, let's take a look at several stocks rising on unusual volume today. >>5 Stocks the Pros Love This Summer Xoom Xoom ( XOOM) is engaged in online international money transfer service. This stock closed up 4.2% at $22.79 on Wednesday. Wednesday's Volume: 319,000
Average Volume: 138,072
Volume % Change: 134% >>5 Rocket Stocks Worth Buying This Week From a technical perspective, XOOM ripped higher here right above some near-term support at $21 with above-average volume. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last month, moving higher from its low of $17.68 to its intraday high of $23.74. During that uptrend, shares of XOOM have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of XOOM within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit if XOOM manages to take out some key overhead resistance levels at $24.60 to its all-time high at $26 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in XOOM as long as it's trending above $22 or $21 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 138,072 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then XOOM will set up to enter new all-time high territory above $26, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are $30 to $33.

A 50-year-old St. Paul woman is facing attempted murder charges after her boyfriend called police to say she woke him to slit his throat, saying, "This is the last day you'll see my eyes."
St. Paul police officers were called by the victim at about 1:48 a.m. on Monday, who said he had fled his apartment after the woman he lives with cut his neck with a knife.
Responding officers found the man lying in the lobby of the apartment building located at 627 Aurora Avenue, holding a bloody white shirt against the left side of his neck in an attempt to stem the flow of blood. As police assisted him in applying pressure to the wound, he told them Dawn Peel caused his injury.
According to the criminal complaint, he explained that she woke him up and asked if he loved her while kneeling over him. He said he did, but he said she then told him, "This is the last time you're going to see me."
The victim said she then sliced his neck with a large knife, sawing at his neck like she was slaughtering a "goat" or a "cow," but he was able to push her away, grab his cell phone, and escape.
The victim was admitted to Regions Hospital in critical but stable condition, and he required surgery for the 5.5-inch gash that curved up and down on his neck and was estimated at a half an inch deep. Doctors used 23 staples to close the laceration, which did not hit his artery.
When police went to the apartment, they found the door was unlocked with a security latch holding it about 2 inches open. When police knocked and asked for someone to open the door, a woman responded saying she was too scared because "he might be there."
Peel eventually opened the door, and police say she was completely nude. Her hair was wet, but her face, the right side of her body and her right leg had slight blood stains on them; however, she had no visible injury.
Police also noticed there was pink-tinted water in the sink and bathtub. Officers also found a large knife with water and diluted blood on it in a kitchen drawer.
When asked what happened, Peel explained she was sleeping in the bedroom when her boyfriend came in and told her, 'They cut me." She said he was trying to stop the blood flow and left the door wide open, saying whoever cut him must have walked in.
Peel soon told police she had been beaten by the victim, repeatedly saying, "He beat me up. He's always have been [sic] beating me up."
When asked if she had been assaulted, she pointed to her knee and said it hurt; however, police saw no visible injuries. When asked why she did not call 911 when her boyfriend told her had been cut, she said, "I don't know."
Officers noticed that Peel had alcohol on her breath, and she replied "not enough" when asked how much she had drank.
Police then suggested she clothe herself. As she was wrapping herself in a robe, she told them, "It was just me and him tonight, but I did not call because I know he is going to blame it on me."
In a follow-up interview at the hospital, the victim said his relationship with Peel began in December 2011 and she often stayed with him at his apartment; however, she had been drinking and acting mentally unstable recently. He told police she spent most of Sunday drinking and had injured her knee in a drunken fall, and he had told her she had 24 hours to check herself into a hospital.
The victim said he then left the apartment and returned later that night to find she was intoxicated. He told police he cooked dinner for them and she went to the bedroom to lie down. Not wanting to disturb her, he set up a mat and blankets on the living room floor and fell asleep there.
According to the criminal complaint, Peel got up to eat dinner and fed the cat before kneeling next to the victim and asking him twice if he loved her. The charges allege that after he replied that he did, she asked him to look into his eyes and told him, "This is the last day you'll see my eyes."
The victim told police Peel kissed his forehead before, "BOOM! The knife."
In his interview with police, the victim said Peel selected the knife because she knows how extremely sharp it is, and he believes she intended to kill him because she had physically assaulted him before and had threatened with him a knife a few weeks earlier, vowing to take revenge on him "while [he] was sleeping."
Peel has no known previous convictions on domestic violence-related offenses, but the victim described her as controlling and jealous.
Peel declined an interview when she was taken into custody. She faces a second-degree murder charge and a second-degree assault charge.

Freund, Peter F.
Vedic literature reading curriculum, Volume 1
Order No. 3222115
The Vedicreserve website presents nearly 50,000 pages of consistently type-set Devanagari text as an ordered, sequential program of reading of more than 300 heretofore scattered texts of the Vedic Literature that have been identified by Maharishi Maharishi Yogi as the essential components of a simple and universal curriculum of total knowledge.
In this program, first proposed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1991, students read the entire Vedic Literature in sequence from beginning to end in Sanskrit. Practical benefits of this reading program have been verified in a series of dissertations at Maharishi University of Management.
In this dissertation a model curriculum of reading the Vedic Literature is presented for the six Vedanga, a group of texts encompassing the Vedic sciences of phonetics. Yajna, grammar, etymology, prosody, and Vedic astrology. Included in this model curriculum are samples of each text, description of the content and structure of each text, and presentation of the correlates in human physiology, based on the research of Dr. Tony Nader. Fifty-four Shiksha texts and 72 Kalpa texts are reviewed; the Ashtadhyayi is described along with five satellite texts; Nirukta, and its word list, the Nighantu, is described, the Pingalachhandas-Sutra is presented as the textbook of Chhandas, the fifth Vedanga, and 15 texts belonging to Jyotish, Vedic astrology and astronomy, are described. In all. 150 texts belonging to the Vedanga are described, and the proper sequence and program of reading is laid out
For the 30 remaining branches of Vedic Literature that students read, 180 individual texts are identified and referenced, and an overview of the structure and the beginning and ending paragraphs of each text is presented.
Finally, the inner dynamics of the program of reading Vedic Literature is explained in terms of a revival of the ancient Vedic science of phonetics brought about by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Locating all eight vowels (Svara) of the Vedic language in the first syllable of Rik Veda, Maharishi's science of speech synthesizes the traditional knowledge of Shiksha, Sanskrit phonetics, with the knowledge of modern physiology, physics and cosmology in one all-encompassing science of Total Natural Law.

Suzanne Wyett thought weight loss surgery was the answer to her weight problem until she found Food Optimising. Now the mom of two is nearly 80lbs lighter and loving her slim and healthy new life.
"For over a decade I've made excuses for my size. Pregnancy, babies, marriage – the list was endless. On top of eating costly convenience food and TV dinners, I'd snack on potato chips, cookies and candy as well as polishing off the kid's leftovers.
"Over the years I've had many embarrassing incidents like getting trapped on theme park rides, stuck on swings and even being mistaken for my husband's mother! I suffered ongoing back pain due to my weight and once I had to be carried out of the store where I work and taken to hospital – I was so humiliated!
"Meal replacements, slimming pills, crazy exercise machines you buy off the TV – I really had tried everything to lose weight and nothing worked. In a desperate bid to lose weight, I spoke to my doctor about getting weight loss surgery and was told to come back in a few months if I was serious about the surgery!
"The following day a friendly woman came into my store and asked to put up a Slimming World poster. She enthusiastically told me about her group and I agreed to go along – although on the day I backed out. I'd attended a weight loss club before and it wasn't for me – why would this one be any different?
"After a few weeks and a bit more thought, I decided to give Slimming World a go – after all, what did I have to lose? I was sceptical at first but my Consultant (the same lovely woman who came into my store) explained Food Optimising and I couldn't believe how much unlimited Free Food I could eat and still lose weight!
"A month into Food Optimising and I'd lost 10½lbs by making a few simple changes to the way I cooked and prepared food. Instead of smothering everything in oil or butter, I'd use PAM and enjoy the most delicious breakfasts – lean bacon, eggs, mushrooms, and tomatoes. I also replaced my twice-weekly takeouts, with home-cooked ones, made with chicken, and piled high with lots of vegetables and salad.
My weekly Image Therapy sessions are so inspiring and I learn so much from the other members, as well as sharing food tips and recipes, there's always plenty of fun and laughter.
My weekly Image Therapy sessions are so inspiring and I learn so much from the other members, as well as sharing food tips and recipes, there's always plenty of fun and laughter.
"Rachel's so encouraging and if I ever had a bad week, she'd remind me how far I'd come and I'd be back on track with a good loss the following week! I knew Food Optimising was for life and I no longer needed or wanted drastic surgery to help me lose weight.
"I knew Body Magic would speed up my weight loss and so I bought a selection of fitness DVDs that I could do at home. Taking small steps at first, I'd do 15 minutes at a time and within months I was feeling fitter and my asthma was loads better. Now, I amaze myself by carrying on for a full hour and a half.
"Within a year I'd lost 80lbs and was looking and feeling fantastic! Instead of shopping on the internet or in the 'plus-size' section, I could go into department stores and buy the latest fashions. Sometimes I'd catch sight of my lean body in a window and I'd have to do a double take!
"Since losing weight I've got a new-found zest for life and it shows in everything I do. I'm so enthusiastic about Slimming World that when the kids are a bit older, I'll seriously consider becoming a Consultant and inspire others to lose weight and change their lives for the better – just like I did!"

A man suspected of robbing a taxi cab driver at gunpoint Monday on Twin Oaks Drive near Murfreesboro has been arrested.
Darryl Buchanan, 26, is accused of placing a handgun against the driver's ribs and taking his cell phone, stun gun and cash during the robbery about 3:30 a.m.
Buchanan took the keys to his vehicle and ordered the driver to walk around a vacant home while he fled.
"Cab drivers typically all have cash on them, which is an easy target to take from," said Detective Steve Brown with the Rutherford County Sheriffs Office.
The City Cab driver picked up the suspect at Mapco Express on Almaville Road in Smyrna and drove him to Tremont apartments on Tremont Drive in Murfreesboro. They drove to Twin Oak Drive off East Main Street where the suspect directed the driver to pull into the driveway of a vacant house.
Buchanan is charged with aggravated robbery and is jailed on $10,000 bond.
A hearing is set July 8 in General Sessions Court.

OBJECTIVE: The authors investigated the relationships between
hypersensitivity to CO2 and familial-genetic risk for panic disorder in
patients with panic disorder. METHOD: Morbidity risks for panic disorder
were calculated for families of 203 patients with panic disorder, each of
whom was challenged with 35% CO2. RESULTS: Patients who reacted with a
positive response to the 35% CO2 challenge showed a genetic risk for panic
disorder (morbidity risk = 14.4%) that was significantly higher than that
for patients who did not react (morbidity risk = 3.9%). CONCLUSIONS: These
findings support the idea that hypersensitivity to CO2 might be associated
with a subtype of panic disorder specifically related to a greater familial

Mayor Kasim Reed writes about a "metropolitan export initiative" designed to strengthen the global business identity of the Atlanta region and expand business opportunities with overseas markets. Reed's plan creates city-to-city partnerships to bolster the area's global competitiveness. Two state Department of Transportation officials outline that agency's plans to make Georgia a "Golden Gateway of Choice."
By Kasim Reed
Over the past three years, Atlanta has become a safer, financially healthier and stronger metropolis for business, science and technology. However, to meet the post-recession jobs challenge and become a leading world-class city in a 21st century economy, we must work harder.
At Wednesday's Global Cities Initiative forum, sponsored by the Brookings Institution and JP Morgan Chase, I will highlight the region's assets: the nation's third-highest concentration of Fortune 500 companies; the world's busiest passenger airport; globally renowned research universities; a broad and engaged consular corps; a talented and diverse workforce, and a solid transportation and logistics infrastructure.
The world landscape is changing quickly. We compete not only with cities like Dallas, Chicago and Miami, but with Dubai, Chengdu and Mumbai. These emerging international markets shouldn't be seen as a threat to our survival, but rather a tremendous opportunity for growth.
Increasingly, these metros power the world economy and drive demand for goods, products and services. For the first time in recorded history, more than half the world's population lives in cities and metropolitan areas, surpassing 60 percent by 2020. Urbanization brings consumer power, with the Asia-Pacific share of the global middle-class population reaching 54 percent by 2020.
To continue Atlanta's job growth and overall success, we must look outward and tap new international markets. Atlanta is the 13th-largest metro exporter in the U.S. It sent $20 billion in goods and services abroad in 2010 and supported more than 150,000 local jobs. In the U.S., more than 75 percent of the nation's gross domestic product is generated in cities.
These are impressive numbers, but tremendous untapped opportunities remain, especially for small- and medium-sized companies that drive sustainable job creation. These companies have the potential to export goods and services, but typically lack the knowledge or internal capacity to pursue international markets. Until recently, promoting global trade as an expansion strategy for local businesses has not been a major focus of our standard economic development activities.
Greater Atlanta needs a dedicated strategy to help more firms become new exporters and assist current exporters in finding new markets. The city of Atlanta is launching a metro export planning process with our regional partners to better leverage our shared strengths, synchronize our efforts, enhance our global business identity and expand local business opportunities with overseas markets.
Over the next several months, with support from the Brookings Institution, Atlanta will assess market opportunities and business needs, develop strategies and begin to implement improvements with significant private- and public-sector support.
Invest Atlanta and the Mayor's Office of International Affairs will collaborate on this new Atlanta Metropolitan Export Plan with other core partners from across the region that include the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the Georgia Department of Economic Development, and the U.S. Department of Commerce Export Assistance Center. UPS has agreed to chair the steering committee, which will include the business community, universities and other local government agencies.
Tomorrow's world demands fact-based strategic thinking and a bold commitment to becoming more effective and more efficient every day. We have a choice: Respond to the changing business environment and untapped entrepreneurial opportunities or squander a set of assets which positions us to be one of the leading cities in the world.
Kasim Reed is mayor of Atlanta.
State can be "Global Gateway of Choice"
By Toby Carr and Todd Long
As Georgia's economy regains its footing, business and government leaders are able to focus on economic growth. A key economic driver for the state will be its freight and logistics industry.
The business of moving goods among growers, suppliers, manufacturers, vendors and consumers represents a $15 billion-a-year industry. Five freight and logistics components of our economy — manufacturing, construction, retail, utilities and agriculture — generate more than $100 billion of yearly output. Some economists give those sectors a growth potential of 75 to 200 percent in the next 35 years.
Ports in Savannah and Brunswick generate some $67 billion in yearly sales and $2.5 billion in state and local tax revenues. They provide jobs for more than 352,000 Georgians. An ongoing expansion of the Panama Canal is projected to create a significant increase in freight shipments entering the U.S. via East Coast ports.
The Georgia Department of Transportation is working with public and private partners to capture this incoming freight. A deepened ship channel serving Savannah and the planned port in Jasper, S.C., will lead to savings of about $213 million a year nationally in reduced shipping costs and ensure Georgia's position as a focal point of world commerce. A comprehensive Georgia DOT study of all modes of the state's freight and logistics industry points to possible overall gains of $65 billion and thousands of new jobs during the next four decades.
We will not be able to "wish" ourselves to this reality. We must commit to it in practice.
Working with the Ports Authority, the Department of Economic Development's Center of Innovation for Logistics, and major railroads and industry leaders, we have developed a statewide Freight and Logistics Action Plan (www.dot.ga.gov/freight). It is an agenda to make Georgia the "Global Gateway of Choice."
An investment of $15 billion is recommended; more than $9 billion is just for highways. Among the plan's highway recommendations:
* Creating more long-haul capacity on I-85 in each direction from Gwinnett County to South Carolina and from Meriwether County to Alabama; on I-75 between Atlanta and Macon; and on Ga. 20 from Douglas County to Alabama.
* Improving I-285's six metro Atlanta interchanges with I-85, I-75 and I-20.
* Rebuilding the I-75/I-16 interchange in Macon.
* Improving I-95 interchanges with I-16 and Ga. 21 in Savannah.
* Improving other corridors such as U.S. 84 and Ga. 133 in South Georgia and U.S. 441 between I-85 and I-16.
* Improving the "last mile" routes near the Port of Savannah and warehouse and distribution facilities along Ga. 6 on Atlanta's west side.
These will be expensive and time-consuming projects. Some are under way. We're seeking innovative ways to deliver the others. Georgia will expand its role as a global hub for freight and logistics.
Toby Carr is planning director of the Georgia Department of Transportation. Todd Long is deputy commissioner of the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Kasim Reed could advance Atlanta's global identity far easier with a deep water port at Savannah. He could tout how quickly goods and services can be moved from Savannah to Atlanta.
2ndly, have a urban renewal project where unproductive areas of the city would be transformed into a gambling mecca for the east coast.
A new state of the art transportation system where visitors could glide into the city effortlessly on a magnetic monorail utilizing kinetic energy.
Now for our sisters and brothers that spend their time panhandling downtown, rather than trying to sweep them under the rugh[euphenestically speaking] point them out how as how well they are treated in this great city.
Want to push the issue that all religions are warmly embraced in this vibrant city of the future.
Kasim needs a vision of the future and act enthusiastically to make the vision become a reality.

$15B for highways? Sure, we'll just pluck the money off the money tree.
How about helping CSX and NS (railroads) move freight in GA. You'd get huge freight capacity improvements for a mere fraction of that $15B.

Don Abernethy @ 10:35 pm – That would never happen. Mr. Reed's political ambition is on a much lower scale right now. Senator or Governor is in his sights. This is the primary reason I think is for all of the Water Carrying for King Nathan. Kasim has the reverence of being considered one of the " good ole Boys" by those at the DOME. A rare titled bestowed on one that grew up and was raised in the Southwest side of Atlanta. One who is standing on the many shoulders of those who marched,stood in line, beaten, cursed, jailed and even paid the ultimate price of Death before him to make way for such an annointing. To see it all go to waste for personal political ambition and personal expediency, is quite disheartening for many who are watching and observing it.
The Good Mayor is an extremely effective Legislator. This is what makes his Silence so sickening in its occurrence. No other sitting Mayor of Atlanta has had as much influence on those at the Dome than this Mayor. None in recent memory. If the success of this New Stadium will be his
highlight Legacy moment for rememberance, then he has failed miserably. Surely we as citzens have failed, as well for voting and supporting the choice of ONE with such high expectancy and then to be disappointed with the end result. So far, that appears to be the Road in which we are headed.
