GREENVILLE — The state transportation board was poised Thursday to stop the I-526 extension from moving forward, according to state Sen. Larry Grooms.
But Grooms said he made sure that vote never happened. It was removed from the group's agenda.
Instead, the S.C. Department of Transportation Commission heard presentations for and against the $558 million road across Johns and James Island.
It also discussed updating the contract for the project, the next step in moving the highway forward.
The project's initial $420 million contract is known as an Intergovernmental Agreement, and it involves three parties: Charleston County was the project's sponsor, the DOT was responsible for building the road, and the S.C. Transportation Infrastructure Bank was responsible for paying for it.
Grooms, a Berkeley County Republican and chairman of the Senate's Transportation Committee, said the commission was prepared to make a motion to stop the controversial project. "But, I called a few folks and the agenda was changed," he said.
Commission Chairman John Edwards said Charleston County and DOT staffers will begin meeting to fine-tune a new contract. The commission likely will consider and vote on it at a meeting in December. Edwards made no comments on the change in the agenda.
Many Charlestonians traveled more than 200 miles to attend the meeting on the completion of I-526, which has been hotly debated for years. Representatives from the opposition group Nix 526, Charleston County Council members and staffers, state Rep. Leon Stavrinakis and Bryan Derreberry and Stuart Whiteside, from Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce showed up for the event in the Greenville County Council chambers. The meeting included presentations from Elliott Summey, Charleston County Council's vice chairman, who supports the project, and Robin Welch and Rich Thomas from Nix 526, who are opposed to it.
Grooms said he warned the commission that voting against the updated contract would set a "horrendous precedent." A previous set of commissioners approved a contract for the project, he said. Members of public bodies always change, but they must honor the decisions made by their predecessors. If they didn't, "then no projects are protected," Grooms said.
At the commission's September meeting, commissioners balked at signing off on the proposal to move forward with the road, amid concerns about Charleston County's request to manage the project, which traditionally is the role of the DOT. The project's price also must be updated because it has climbed substantially in recent years.
But commissioners Thursday said Charleston County and DOT staffers would meet to discuss a way that the county could manage the project and allow the DOT to have some oversight.
Commissioner Harrison Rearden said he was mystified by the way the contract plan was changing and seemingly moving forward. "I am curious why all of a sudden the DOT is not the one to manage the project," he said. "There is something going on in the back room in reference to this Intergovernmental Agreement."
Commissioners in September also raised concerns about the financial implications of an amendment in the county's resolution to build the road. The amendment, proposed by Councilwoman Anna Johnson, states that the county must make a good-faith effort to compensate property owners who live within 1,000 feet of the road for a drop in the value of their property.
DOT lawyer Linda McDonald said she's not aware of a case in South Carolina where a court awarded money to a property owner for a drop in the value of his or her land if no property actually was taken.
Summey told commissioners that the county is willing to work closely with the DOT to manage the project. And, the DOT doesn't have to worry about financial compensation for people who live within 1,000 feet of the road or any other "quality of life amendments," Summey said. "Quality-of-life issues are local issues," he said.
Robin Welch, one of the founders of Nix 526 said the road was not the solution to traffic problems and would be a huge waste of taxpayer money. For instance, she said, the DOT already has built two four-lane bridges onto Johns Island, but both of them connect to two-lane roads. Johns Island doesn't need more bridges, she said. But someone needs to fix the traffic bottlenecks.
Grooms said he's pleased the commission's attempt to possibly stop the project was quashed. "I hope it doesn't come up again," he said.

Farmers, agribusiness representatives and others interested in Mid-South agriculture will converge on the Memphis Cook Convention Center March 2-3 for the Mid-South Farm & Gin Show, the south's largest indoor farm show.
The event will feature approximately 400 exhibitors from more than 40 states and foreign countries and will occupy over 200,000 square feet of exhibit space in the convention center.
It is sponsored by the Southern Cotton Ginners Association, with Delta Farm Press as co-sponsor.
"Those who attend this year's show will see an expanded number of farm equipment manufacturers, specialized services, the latest in seed varieties, and new technologies in precision farming software and services," says Tim Price, executive vice president of the association and show manager.
"Attending the show is a spring tradition for thousands of Mid-South farmers, ginners and others involved in agriculture. Each year, we work hard to provide new and different attractions.
"With the recent expansion of the convention center's exhibit space, we have the opportunity to add new exhibitors to complement the many companies that have a long tradition of exhibiting at what's known as the largest assembly of agricultural products, equipment, and services in the South.
"We're excited about the number of new products — both from traditional exhibitors and those who are new to the show."
Of major interest at this year's show, Price says, will be the opportunity for attendees to learn about the latest developments in cotton harvesters with on-board module builders, and the newest precision ag technologies.
"Biotechnology continues to have a major impact on our industry, as will be reflected in all the exhibits related to crop seeds, agrichemicals, and all the related products and services.
"It's going to be a heckuva show, and we hope everyone will mark their calendars and plan to bring their families for an informative, fun-packed weekend in Memphis."
Exhibit areas at the show will be open Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
In addition to the show and Ag Update Seminars, members of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association will be holding their annual meeting during the week. A complete schedule of all the events connected with the show will be made available later.

Guidelines for Attention Deficit/Hyper Activity Disorder (AD/HD) Disability Documentation
The following guidelines are provided to assure that documentation of disability submitted to the Accessible Education Center (AEC) is appropriate to both verify disability and to support requests for accommodations, academic adjustments and/or auxiliary aids.
It is the policy of San José State University to provide appropriate accommodations to students who have a documented disability of Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). To establish eligibility for services students must present documentation which meets the following criteria:
Diagnosis must be determined by a clinician with expertise in the diagnosis of AD/HD. Qualified professionals are presumed to be psychologists, neurologists, or psychiatrists who have training and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of AD/HD.
Documentation must include clinician's name, title, license number, phone number and address; summary of all instruments and procedures; date(s) of diagnosis and examination.
Documentation must be comprehensive and include evidence of early impairment as well as evidence of current impairment. The following information should be included in a comprehensive assessment:
Historical information establishing symptomology indicative of AD/HD throughout childhood, adolescence and adulthood (i.e.: teacher comments, tutoring evaluations, psychoeducational testing, third party interviews)
Student's presenting attentional symptoms should provide demonstrating evidence of ongoing impulsive/hyperactive behaviors which significantly impair functioning
Diagnostic interview summary should include but not be limited to the following:
history of presenting attentional symptoms
ongoing behaviors that have significantly impaired functioning
psychoeducational evaluations
description of functional limitations relevant to an educational related setting
The diagnostic report must include a specific diagnosis of AD/HD following the
DSM-IV diagnostic criteria.
The student's assessment must demonstrate the current impact of the AD/HD in the academic environment and support the student's need for accommodations and auxiliary aids. Accommodation recommendation by the evaluator should include a rationale.

BUFFALO TWP — A 43-year-old man died Saturday of an apparent overdose at his home on Sarver Road, authorities said.
Buffalo Township police are investigating but a report, including the man's name, was not available. An officer on duty declined to comment Saturday afternoon.
The man's wife found him unresponsive in the bedroom and notified authorities. Butler County Chief Deputy Coroner John Hanovick pronounced him dead at 11:58 a.m.
Police reportedly recovered a syringe and at least one empty stamp bag of suspected heroin at the scene.
An autopsy was planned Sunday. Hanovick said the cause of death, however, could not be determined until toxicology reports are completed, which could take several weeks.
Meanwhile, Butler police and emergency crews Friday night responded to two suspected overdoses.
In each case, the victim was given the opioid overdose reversal drug naloxone — better known by its brand name Narcan — and regained consciousness.
A full report will appear in the Butler Eagle.

Veteran actress Mary Steenburgen threw herself into vocal lessons in preparation for her role as a lounge singer in new movie Last Vegas, because she feared her voice wouldn't be up to scratch.
The Help star, 60, admits she hadn't really put her voice to the test in more than two decades when she signed on to join Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Michael Douglas and Kevin Kline in the comedy, so she decided to seek a little professional help to perfect her part.
Ted Danson's wife says, "I play a lounge singer in a tiny, kind of pathetic little lounge with about two people in there listening to me and it was a fascinating experience because really, I don't consider myself a singer and I've done very little singing.
"I've sung once in a movie in the '80s and then I kind of forgot about it. I did write music, so I'm a little musical, but it was scary to start something new at my age so (I had) lots of singing lessons and all that."

If, in every tragedy, there can be found triumph, we experienced that at Baobab Stage at Town Square late Thursday night and early into Friday morning.
It was a triumph of art and heart, of support and passion, of laughter and love.
The night was a benefit for the late "Ka" artist Sarah Guillot-Guyard. The show was dubbed, simply and fittingly, "Cabaret," for its swiftly organized lineup of diverse performers. The evening was organized by the theater's landlord, resident artist and fashion maven, Wassa Coulibaly.
Originally from Dakar, Senegal, Coulibaly stages a weekly production — which she wrote — at Baobob Stage titled "Red Dress" that addresses the stark subject of women who attempt to rise from impoverished, oppressive cultures and find freedom and opportunity in the United States. She sells women's fashions, which she designed herself, from a boutique connected to the Baobob Stage theater (Baobob is named for a tropical, gourd-bearing tree found in Coulibaly's home country).
More pertinent to this event, Coulibaly is an artist with "Zumanity" at New York-New York. She has been a member of Cirque du Soleil's adult show since the cast convened for workshops in 2002. That makes her a member in long standing in the Las Vegas Cirque family and an apt individual to stage a night of support and assistance for the young children of Guillot-Guyard and her ex-husband and the children's father, Mathieu Guyard. The father is part of that Cirque family, a member of the "Ka" cast, in fact, as is his current wife, Kelly.
The performance was filled with music and magic and mime. And acrobatics, too. In the audience were dozens of Cirque performers from the company's longest-running Vegas production ("Mystere") through the newest ("Michael Jackson One"). Also showing support by their mere presence were performers in shows that usually vie with Cirque for business — especially "Absinthe," which was represented by about a half-dozen cast members, among them Melody Sweets, Tony "Tightropes" Hernandez and Angel Porrino.
Though the event was for a somber and sobering cause, the stage show was hardly that. "Zumanity" artist and noted fitness buff Todd Ty Hambrick walked onstage in a beaded bikini bottom fashioned by Coulibaly. Vegas spoken-word artist Sean Critchfield unleashed two bracing pieces of slam poetry. Benedikt Negro of "O" performed a classic mime act (battling gravity and a white balloon).
Gyulnara Karaeva ably tumbled across the stage to a music piece punctuated by gaseous bodily sounds. Agnes Roxane, leader of the Perfect Body Brigade, performed a sizzling striptease (even the self-aware Hambrick was impressed by that number), and a dance troupe of Coulibaly, Silvia Vrskova, Kelly McDonald, Hanifa Jackson-Adderly and Leysa Carrillo closed out the night.
But before that final, spirited dance number, "Mystere" artist Ross Gibson, a close friend of the Guillot-Guyard family, had the most difficult assignment of the night: to read a note written by Mathieu Guyard to the audience. Gibson, in his haughty British accent, handled the task expertly, first announcing the night's take of $3,796.
After a cheer for that figure, the crowd went silent as Gibson read the message:
"To our friends and colleagues in Cirque and around Las Vegas, we cannot strongly enough express our gratitude to each and every one of you. To be around the love and support you have given not just our family at home, but also to the 'Ka' family over at MGM. This has been an equally trying time for them. And for those of you who were able to attend the dress rehearsal on Tuesday (the day the show returned to the stage), that day we all witnessed the strength and power of a show community coming together to help carry an entire cast back onto their stage. On behalf of the entire cast and crew of 'Ka,' we thank you.
"As often as you can say it, 'thank you' never seems to be strong enough to express how we feel for what people are doing here tonight. As a family, this means the world to us. And for the two children, Emi and Ethan, this will mean the world to them, too. They have been dealing with the loss of their mother in ways that make us question whether they really are still just children. Their maturity and motivation is honestly overwhelming and is a lesson to us all. A lesson that, no matter what, life must go on. Although nothing will ever bring back their mother, fundraising events like tonight's will definitely bring forth a solid future, and for them and for that, we, and they, are eternally grateful."
The kids were not at the event, which started long after their bedtime. But the celebration of circus, and Cirque, went on and on. There is risk in what they do, accepted and invited. When tragedy happens, the Cirque family closes ranks and embraces — and lives for another night.

Motorola has updated the Atrix handset, bumping the specs and cunningly calling it the Motorola Atrix 2. The new handset has been announced on AT&T in the US at CTIA in San Diego.
The Motorola Atrix 2 will give you a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM and 8GB memory with the option to expand further via microSD.
The screen sees an increase over the original Atrix, adding 0.3 inches to gives you a 4.3-inch display, with a sharp 960 x 540 pixels equating to 256ppi, challenging the likes of the HTC Sensation XE.
You'll be able to capture video at full HD resolution and easily output it via HDMI, something that was pushed on the previous Atrix. In addition to HDMI mirroring, the Atrix will also benefit from various docks: the Lapdock 100 and the HD Station.
These docks are designed to expand the remit of your phone; as we saw with the original Atrix, the Lapdock will let you use the computing power of your phone to handle various applications based around a full browser experience.
As previously, Motorola fancies the Atrix as a business device as well as a consumer power house. As such it offers microSD encryption, "enterprise-grade VPN" and features like remote wipe.
Around the back you'll find an 8-megapixel camera which joins a front facing camera. It will be launching on Android 2.3 and offers the usual range of connectivity, topping out with HSPA+ 21.1Mbps.
As we saw with the Motorola Defy+ recently, the interface has been tinkered with, giving you customisable shortcuts across the bottom of the display, rather than the past arrangement that wasn't very efficient with space. We've been told this is also coming to the old Atrix, so the appeal here really is the increased screen size - we're yet to discover exactly which chipset it contains and whether this will offer more power than its predecessor.
No word on UK pricing or availability, but as we've seen in the past, phones launched in the US don't take long to drift over to our blessed shores.

Line me up. Analzying and Creating Line Graphs
Lesson 20 of 23
Objective: The students will be able to analzye and create line graphs.
The students will be working with the coordinate grid. This is a previously learned concept that may require some reteaching. Discuss with the students the following questions:
- How is a coordinate grid made? (horizontal and vertical axis that intersect)
- When the two axis intersect, what is that called? (orign)
- How are the quadrants labeled? And what are the types of ordered pairs? (starting at the top right, I, II, III, IV in I (+,+) in quadrant II (-,+), in quadrant III (-,-) and quadrant IV (+,-)
- How do we read/graph points on the grid? (We go right or left (positive or negative) before we go up or down (positive or negative)
Use slide 2 to locate points on the grid. I like to allow students time to go over answers with a partner because this helps students talk mathematically (MP6) and if there is a problem, they can justify their answers with a reasonable explanation. (MP3)
Resources (3)
During this part of the lesson, the students will start by looking at line graphs and their uses. They will make observations about when a line graph Is useful and the elements within a line graph. Begin by analyzing the graph. I would like students to describe the data set (I notice that the line in going down, which means that after summertime, the weather in Washington DC gets colder)
Then I move them in to the pre-made questions. These questions were used to get students to look at the actual data collected. They can tell high and low and they can read the temperature to tell what month a certain event occurred.
Next, have the students do a HUSUPU (Hands up, stand up, pair up). I like students to get into pairs by giving them parameters. For example, I might tell them to pair up with someone who has the same colors on as them. Or I might say, Find someone who has the same amount of pets that you do. There are many creative ways to group so that the students are not pairing up with the same individuals. At this time have the students decide who will be an A and who will be a B. This allows you to pick a person to speak by calling on either an A or a B. I like to mix things up so they never know who is going to speak at what time. Once in pairs, allow students time to look at the data in the graph. I tell them they are thinking(think time) and thinking occurs in our heads, not out our mouths. Next, I tell students to "square up". I want them to look each other in the eye, speak clearly and use pronunciation so their partner can hear and understand what is being said (ELA SL 6. 4). Then I start the questioning by randomly choosing an A or a B. (to make things even, there are 4 questions so each partner can answer 2)
- Looking at the data set for this line graph, describe what is happening to the U.S. average weekly earnings? (the average weekly earnings are going up, which means that each year the population is making more money)
- In which year were the average weekly earnings the highest? (2000)
- In general, how did the weekly earning change from 1970 to 2000? (The earnings went up)
- In which year did the average worker earn approximately $350/week (1990)
The next slide asks students what they saw that was the same in each line graph. Students can partner share their thoughts. The list is included on the slide.
Give students a table and instruct them that they will be creating their own line graph. They will also be designing 3 questions to use to analyze their graph. Allow students time to work on their graphs and questions. Once the group is ready, have them share with a partner from the class. (Again, use a different strategy to pair up the groups. Siblings in the family, youngest, middle or oldest…)
***When creating this graph, the students may not notice that the months don't go in order. I would have them look at the table first to see if they can make the connection. Otherwise, ask them what would happen if they put the data from the table into the graph exactly as it appears?***

The students were learning how to analyze and create line graphs today. In order to sum up their target learning, I'm going to ask the following questions:
Explain when it would be better to use a line graph instead of a bar graph.
(Looking for line graphs should be used when dealing with time (months, years, hours, seconds, days) and bar graphs are used to show popularity or favorites)
Describe how you might use a line graph to make predictions (Looking for: if the line graph is going up then the data is making a positive change over time and if the line graph is going down then the data is making a negative change)
Write about it: You have a bowl of soup for lunch. Draw a line graph that could represent the change in the soup's temperature during lunch. Explain
(Looking for a line graph that would show a gradual negative change)

Region may have Apple's eye
Top-secret talks hint firm is weighing area for new plant
MALTA — Apple Inc. and worldwide demand for its iPhone and iPad — and maybe soon iTV — may be behind top-secret efforts to land a second major semiconductor manufacturing facility in the Capital Region.
Since the fall, consultants representing a major high-tech manufacturer have been pitching New York economic development officials a plan for a 3.2 million-square-foot production facility that would likely cost as much as $10 billion to build. Sites under consideration include Luther Forest Technology Campus in Malta, which is already home to a $4.6 billion computer chip factory, and a site in Oneida County next to SUNY IT.
Although the plans — dubbed Project Azalea — became public last month, the exact identity of the company that wants to build the factory has never been revealed.
That's likely because Deloitte, the consulting firm leading an international search for a suitable site for the facility, hasn't yet disclosed its client, even to state and local officials who have signed strict non-disclosure agreements
Increasingly, though, it appears that whoever is behind Project Azalea wants to build the mega factory to satisfy Apple, which had $156 billion in sales during the past year and is considered the world's most valuable company.
More Information
And, based on analyses by industry experts, the most likely scenario involves one of the companies that supplies computer chips to Apple for its iPhone and iPad devices and Macintosh computers — or a company vying to win Apple's business.
The idea that Foxconn, the Chinese company that assembles the iPhone and other products for Apple, is behind the site search, seems plausible — especially after Apple CEO Tim Cook said during an interview with NBC that Apple wants to start shifting its manufacturing back to the United States. Foxconn, which had previously denied any plans for a new U.S. facility, said it now was considering expanding in the U.S. to satisfy its customers' needs.
Apple is Foxconn's largest customer, and Foxconn has been expanding its reach into the market for LCD TV screens. Apple is also expected to soon unveil a TV device, which many believe will be called the iTV. And more than likely, Foxconn would supply the LCD panels for those TVs. Some LCD panel factories in Japan have cost nearly $10 billion to build.
However, industry insiders say that it is more likely that one of the major chip suppliers is looking at this region for a site to build a factory to satisfy Apple's incredible demands for processors for its products.
"We are clearly not talking about an assembly factory here. We are rather talking about very advanced manufacturing facility, which is likely to be a state-of-the-art semiconductor fab," said Anton Shilov, news editor of high-tech website X-bit Labs. "I don't really believe that Foxconn is actually interested in building a large assembly factory with tens of thousands of workers in the U.S."
It just so happens that Apple is in the midst of making some major decisions on who will provide those chips. Two of Apple's major chip suppliers right now are Samsung of Korea and Intel of California.
However, the tech media outlets have been reporting that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. has been angling for the business that Samsung has with Apple.
TSMC does face one major hurdle, but the issue is the reason that many believe that TSMC could be looking to build a new U.S. plant, possibly in New York, which provided a $1.4 billion incentive package to GlobalFoundries. TSMC cannot supply as many chips as Apple would need at its existing factories, and Apple, of course, increasingly appears to want more of its products, or parts of its products, made in the U.S.
"A plant in the U.S. could sort out TSMC capacity problems if it could be online fast enough," said Nick Farrell, an Apple expert who writes for TechEye.net.

I'll start with the positive here. All three of the movers were kind and courteous during the move. Provider name locked. even went around and made sure that all of the doors at my new house were locked up before they left so that he could "relax on the way home, knowing that I was safe." They sweat and grunted and worked very hard getting larger pieces of furniture in the house for me. All of that was wonderful. Unfortunately, the bad far outweighs the good, though.
The fine print of the Angie's List deal did not mention any hourly rate after the three hour time period of the deal or surcharges, nor was any of that discussed with me prior to the start of the work (except the $10 mattress bag fee). Obviously, there would be an hourly rate after the deal expired, but it was never discussed with me. I signed a "Bill of Lading" that Provider name locked. (one of the four brothers) explained was just allowing the movers to go into my house, handle my belongings, etc. He also explained that I was agreeing to .60/lb for any damaged items. I went to graduate school, and I still don't understand the "legal-ese" on my copy. There were no charges listed on it before they started work. Surcharges seem like something that absolutely should be in the fine print and discussed in detail with a client beforehand. Admittedly, I should have asked Provider name locked. , but my mind was in a million places with the move, so I forgot. It was about 6 p.m., three hours after the deal's time frame had elapsed, and after I had already gotten pizza for everybody and sponsored a short break, that Provider name locked. told me about the $129/hr rate after the 3 hour deal was over. That means that, I already owed the company almost $400 more than I thought I would before cost was even addressed. Provider name locked. mentioned that after 8 hours, it was "overtime, but we won't talk about that now." I felt trapped. My husband works a lot, I was there by myself, I had already taken the day off of work, and the truck was half full with our belongings.
Just before 8, Provider name locked. told me about the time and a half rate that would be taking place almost immediately. To save time, he offered to only move into their proper places, the large items that my husband and I would have trouble moving ourselves. Everything else, he could put in the garage. I agreed. At this point, everything became a rushed, crazy, stressful race to the the end. I started carrying things myself off of the truck into the garage.
Then, when I signed the Bill of Lading again at the conclusion of the job, I see that a fuel surcharge, travel surcharge, and stretch wrap/tape surcharge have been added. I also got the distinct feeling that Provider name locked. didn't want me to take time to examine the bill. Provider name locked. told me that the company would "waive" the 4% credit card fee that had also never been mentioned to me. They were going to "waive" a fee that I'd never agreed to. The only thing that had been mentioned was the mattress bag, $10 fee.
After they left, I had a large amount of belongings at our old, rental house that wouldn't fit on the truck and that I had to move by myself. I was about to have to hire another set of movers to get the items I couldn't fit or lift into my husband's truck, when some nice guys from my neighborhood offered to help me out with their trailer. They loaded up a 7', solid wood bookcase, our grill, lawnmower, snow blower, and a ton of smaller items into their trailer.
My garage was completely full of my belongings that I still had to bring in and place. An outdoor lighting fixture was broken. My mother's antique piano was scratched badly during the move, and a large bookcase was "dinged" in several areas. Meanwhile, items that I feel should not have had time taken to wrap up (throw pillows and a large Provider name locked. bear), were wrapped in plastic I didn't know I was being charged for.
One of the most disturbing things, I noticed a couple of days later. A large china cabinet that I was preparing to put my great grandmother's china in had not had the braces between the top and bottom pieces put back in place after they removed them for the move. This could have certainly resulted in my family heirlooms being destroyed or even having the top part fall on someone and hurt them. Provider name locked. said that as a Provider name locked. , if he took something apart for moving, he put it back together at the new place. I realize that everything was insane when we were unloading the truck, but that should have been taken care of for safety. Nothing was put back together at the new place. Our dining table, TV stands, punching bag stand, and other items will have to be put back together by my husband or me.
I feel taken advantage of. A move that I thought would cost me $337 that I had already paid, ended up costing me $1,889.94. Almost $2,000 for an incomplete move. I don't have a problem paying an hourly fee for the move, as, obviously, I can't expect a 3 man crew and a truck to take care of my entire move for $337. They should have told me about it first, though.
I contacted Provider name locked. , the head of the company from what I understand, to try to resolve my issue. At first, he was courteous and offered just over $230 as a credit. Provider name locked. told him that the overtime surcharge was discussed during the move which he said he found "unacceptable." He offered a refund of the overtime and an additional $75 for "good customer service." That's where the approximately $230 figure came from. When I asked for that amount and to have the surcharges refunded, he responded,
"I'm not in the business to charge for labor only when every other aspect of the move was performed without flaw. You admittedly neglected to inquire about any other charges. $129/hr is even discounted as it is. Our 4 man rate starts at $139/hr and goes up to $159/hr depending on the move itself. If you'd like to be more reasonable, I'm all ears. Otherwise I'll send the settlement agreement and check in the amount listed earlier. Thanks."
I reiterated what I'd told him about the damages and property left at my home and asked what he thought a reasonable compromise would be between his proposal and mine, and he did not respond. That was approximately 10 days ago. I contacted Angie's List for help and intend to report them to the Better Business Bureau. I am also considering whether it is worth my time to pursue legal action.
I didn't immediately notice all of the damages either due to it being nighttime when they left or the giant pile of disorganized items in my house. After not hearing from Provider name locked. for over a week, I filed a complaint with Angie's List about the experience and damages. Provider name locked. essentially accused me of lying, saying that in my complaint, "all of [the] sudden, there [are] all of these damages." It was incredibly insulting. He also "apologized for my inability to comprehend" the deal. Really? I have never in my life been treated so disrespectfully by a business owner.
I am not an unreasonable person. If I had been told about the myriad charges before work started, I wouldn't have a problem. I was not told. I would have never agreed to pay $1889.94 to move just over a half mile away. I don't know if Provider name locked. , the head mover in charge of my move, just didn't tell his brother the whole story or what, but this was a terrible experience. I have moved 9 times in the past 10 years, and this was BY FAR the worst experience I have ever had. The issue seems to be with management, as the crew was all very nice and hardworking. I tipped them $80 each and gave Provider name locked. an expensive bottle of whisky and matching glasses. Please find different movers and save yourself the headache.
- Sarah D.
Provider name locked. did an excellent job at meeting my needs. I thought I needed a larger space, but Provider name locked. asked me a number of questions, and determined the size I really needed...thank you! This place goes above-and-beyond in making me feel welcome! They provide complimentary water, coffee, and snacks available any time I am on the property. Thank you for making my move as easy as possible!
- Joshua R.
I contacted this mover for the Provider name locked. deal. I understood that there would be an additional charge on top of what I'd already paid if we exceeded the three hours advertised on the deal. HOWEVER, what they don't state is that AUTOMATICALLY an hour of those three precious hours is already subtracted for "drive time." Meaning, I was paying the movers to drive from their location to mine. But, I was also charged for a fuel surcharge????
Provider name locked. was really gracious to explain to me that if I wanted to keep my overage charges low, they could just move all of the large heavy items from my condo to my new place. Great idea. Except, at that point, it became a race against the clock. I literally didn't even get half of my items moved. Most of what was taken to the new place was placed in the garage. Being a single woman, I am now faced with the task of carrying these items inside and possibly up to the second floor.
In the end, I paid an additional $142 for an extra 15 minutes of the movers time. I had purchased my own mattress bags ahead of time. I also had enough stretch wrap and tape on hand to have handled all of my belongings. However, it was automatically assumed that I would use their materials. Thus, I was charged an additional 15% for said materials.
The movers left me around 2:30 PM on Saturday. It took me and a friend until Sunday at midnight to complete this move.

text: Coming soon to a school near you. As the Bible has been plulled out of schools. Prayer a separation of church & state issue. We now have Bullying 101 from a speaker meant to speak on the subject. That the subject matter we can all appreciate is a subject that bears attention, but surely the speakers background is but another sign of the times we live in that we are not that far removed from "that day". Pray for our children! Times are going to get worse. Yet we as believers hold firm, for it is in Christ Jesus that we live according to His will. YBIC C4E 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Christian Teens Say Gay Activist Made Girls Cry Jake Naman knew something was about to happen. The 18-year-old from Redlands, Calif., was sitting inside a cavernous building in Seattle waiting to hear from Dan Savage, the founder of the "It Gets Better" anti-bullying campaign. Savage had been invited to speak to several thousand high school journalists attending a national conference hosted by the National Scholastic Press Association and the Journalism Education Association. Naman, who is a yearbook photographer at Arrowhead Christian Academy, thought Savage was going to talk about his anti-bullying campaign. But the Christian teenager soon learned that Savage had a very different message for the students. "I hope you're all using birth control," Savage told the teenagers as he began his remarks. From there, he regaled the young people who stories about his husband, describing how he looked in a Speedo. At one point, Savage imagined what it would be like with his husband on stage – telling the kids that they would have to pry him off his partner. Naman was growing increasingly uncomfortable with the tone and tenor of Savage's remarks. There were more lewd comments, profane words and innuendo. And then, Savage said something that made Naman take notice. "The Bible," Savage said with a elongated pause. ""The very second he said the Bible and paused, I knew it was going to get ugly," Naman told Fox News. "It was about to be a bashing." And Naman was absolutely correct. "We can learn to ignore the bullshit in the Bible about gay people – the same way we have learned to ignore the bullshit in the Bible about shellfish, about slavery, about dinner, about farming, about menstruation, about virginity, about masturbation," Savage told the young students. "We ignore bullshit in the Bible about all sorts of things." Some will say what happened next took courage – but Naman said he was simply following the prompting of the Holy Spirit. And the entire moment was captured on a video that has now gone viral on YouTube. The 18-year-old Eagle Scout and captain of the high school track team rose to his feet – and walked out – passing by hundreds of other students who were cheering the anti-bullying advocate's profanity-laced rant. "I felt like in my heart I couldn't just stay there at all," he said. "It was a really weird feeling I just had to get out. I didn't want to cause a scene but I really could not stand to be in that room anymore." Jake Naman said he felt – bullied. "If Dan Savage had gotten up there and said 'God hates homosexuals and they're all going to hell,' there would have been huge outrage from that crowd," he said. "As Christians we get the other side of that. When our faith is attacked like that – we are ridiculed for taking a stand against it." Naman thought that he was the only person who walked out – but when he got to the lobby – he learned that was far from the case. Arrowhead's entire yearbook staff followed his lead – including his 16-year-old sister. "I was shaking," Julia Naman told Fox News. "I saw my brother pop up and leave and I took off after him." So did 17-year-old Haley Mulder. "I never felt more hurt, felt persecuted," Mulder said. "For me, my faith is what I Want to be defined by. For someone to say it was B.S. is really hurtful. I felt put down and bullied because of my faith." And then it got worse for the Christian teenagers. Savage directly targeted them with his remarks. "You can tell the Bible guys in the hall they can come back now because I'm done beating up the Bible," he said. "It's funny as someone on the receiving end of beatings that are justified by the Bible how pansy-assed people react when you push back." Naman said a number of the girls began crying. He said it seemed like such a safe environment "But then Dan Savage went off and it didn't seem that way anymore." "He had a position of power as a speaker and he was using that against a group of students who had never done anything to him," Naman said. "I would consider that bullying." "He was completely insulting and degrading our faith," his sister said. Mulder said Savage needed to practice what he preaches. "I felt it was ironic coming from a person who was talking about not bullying," she said. In all about a hundred students walked out of the speech, but Naman said many others wanted to. He said some Christian teenagers felt intimidated and were afraid of what might happen if they had left. Still, the 18-year-old said one thing was certainly obvious – "The majority of the students did not support us at all," he said. Savage issued a partial apology over the weekend, saying he was referring to the walk-out as "pansy-assed" and not the students. However, he stood by his profane references to the Bible.

The expat profile is changing and the property market is evolving accordingly. One operator is adding long-stay apartments to its portfolio to meet the needs of today's international newcomers.
The highly-skilled worker who comes to the Netherlands for a few months and then flies out again is on the decline.
Today, expats are more eager than ever to adapt to Dutch life and live like a local here. Expats stay longer in the Netherlands, with around half remaining for more than five years (CBS, 2015).
In Amsterdam, 's 2017 survey found that expats were twice as likely to send their children to a Dutch school, rather than an international one; while other research has shown 38% plan to take Dutch lessons within a year.
One thing that hasn't changed is the popularity of Amsterdam, which is still the Netherlands' most popular expat destination . The capital offers interesting employment opportunities for foreigners as big-name companies and organisations, seeking a hub within the Eurozone, establish offices in and around the city, many in the expanding Zuidas district to the south.
But while the job market is booming, the housing sector has struggled to keep up and the shortage of accommodation in Amsterdam can be a headache for newcomers.
Corporate but cosy
Angara Natural Garnet Solitaire Vintage Ring in Yellow Gold 7mAppmseJD
, the newest strand of Corporate Housing Factory (2013), which until now has focused on the short-stay model, is answering this call for longer-stay solutions with a new development: Falcon Living , in Amsterdam. The smart, three-bedroom, serviced apartments, close to the Waterlooplein, all have balconies with a canal view and are available to rent for a period of between six months and two years.
Offering a corporate solution that still feels like home, CHL links up with companies to provide high-quality, fuss-free accommodation for international employees as soon as they arrive.
If people decide to stay on, then these stress-free early years in professionally-managed apartments give them time to find their feet and familiarise themselves with the way of life here – as well as the complexities of the housing market – before making a decision about buying or renting in the longer term.

Across the world millions of people have been displaced from their homes by conflict and civil unrest. Many of those displaced find themselves far from home, separated from family members and social support without the language skills they need for even basic communication and access to essential services. Education and career opportunities for both children and adults have been severely disrupted, or halted.
Language learning is absolutely essential. It helps refugees and their host communities to withstand challenges, to recover from crisis, to overcome barriers – to build resilience.

identifies five ways language builds resilience, whether that's giving a voice to young people and adults, building social cohesion in host communities or providing individuals with the skills they need to access work, services, education and information.
Home languages provide the language skills and literacy which are the basis for learning new languages and learning in general. By protecting the use of refugees' home languages, supporting their use in the home, throughout communities and through multilingual education, we can help break down the barriers to schooling and further education.

Language learning promotes inclusion and non-discrimination. It allows refugee communities to come together with their host communities, strengthening the society of which they are all part. A shared language increases refugee integration and helps refugees to become self-sufficient and make valuable contributions to their local community.

NEW BRITAIN - New Britain High School is getting a new principal for the 2018-19 school year.
In a unanimous vote Wednesday night, the Board of Education appointed Damon Pearce. He was recommended by School Superintendent Nancy Sarra, who spoke of the new principal's experience and passion for education.
"I've had several conversations now with Mr. Pearce. … He comes with passion and he comes with the belief that all students can and all staff can," Sarra said.
Board Vice President Nick Mercier said a former colleague of his also worked with Pearce and spoke very highly of him when he learned Pearce was interviewing for the job.
"I was very glad to hear that he had such high praise for Mr. Pearce, so I'm really excited to see what you bring forward," Mercier told Pearce.
Board President Nicole Rodriguez said about 65 people took part in the interview process.
"I am pleased to say it has been a long but fruitful process for the interviewing and I'm glad it was community-based as well as New Britain High-focused," Rodriguez said.
The hire is actually a return to the district for Pearce. Pearce was an associate principal from 2005 to 2014 before accepting a job as principal of Suffield Middle School. Now, he's returning to the district with more administrative experience.
"This building has enormous capacity, has enormous potential, and we're going to do this, together," Pearce said after the appointment.
NBHS has been without an "official" principal since the end of January. In May, The Herald reported several allegations against former NBHS principal Joseph Pinchera made by teachers in the school.
The teachers, who spoke to The Herald on condition of anonymity, discussed an atmosphere of bias and harassment in NBHS, perpetuated at least in part by Pinchera. Following an official complaint from one teacher in November, administrators opened a Title IX investigation into Pinchera's conduct. While the investigation was underway, another teacher filed a grievance against Pinchera and the principal took a leave of absence on Jan. 31.
Pinchera officially resigned from the school district a week after The Herald's story. Kerri-Lynn Major served as NBHS's acting principal following Pinchera's leave and resignation. At Wednesday's board meeting, Mercier and other administrators and staff thanked Major for her leadership.

Lower back pain is also one of the leading causes of job disability in the world.
With Americans spending a
Angara Double Milgrain Outline Cushion Amethyst Solitaire Ring in White Gold xtpc84
to treat—and prevent—lower back pain each year, it is safe to say that people are desperate for relief from this chronic discomfort.
Many people with low back pain fear unnecessarily that their pain is related to structural problems and spinal fragility, which is normally not the case.
Lower back pain can be attributed to a number of factors, including physical activity, injury, poor posture, obesity, stress and even the simplest of movements like picking something up incorrectly.
Fortunately, a growing number of scientific studies suggest that massage therapy can help significantly reduce inflammation and provide much needed relief from chronic back pain.
In fact, a study published in the
Angara PearShaped Aquamarine Drop Earrings with Screw Back QovaQ
on massage for back pain showed both Swedish massage and deep tissue massage methods were equally as effective atimproving disabilities from lower back pain and painful symptoms.
Relaxation and structural massage tactics both provide healing benefits.
While most people wouldn't have issue with the idea of a regular massage, if you are one of the many who suffers from lower back pain, the following are ways that regular massage for back pain can help you find serious relief:
1. Increased blood flow. Increased blood flow is a known proponent of muscle recovery and studies confirm that massage therapy helps improve general blood flow and reduces soreness.
Research also shows that massage therapy improves the vascular function in people who have and have not exercised, which suggests that the vascular benefits of massage may span beyond the recipient's level of physical activity.
2. Decreased tension. While muscle tension is needed by the body to maintain body posture and general movements, too much tension causes pain and muscle restriction, especially in the lower back and neck. Massage therapy is clinically proven to decrease muscle tension.
3. Increased endorphins. Endorphins are the feel good chemicals in the brain. Massage tactics including acupressure and trigger point therapy generate these endorphins , which are known to reduce pain and produce a sense of euphoria.

Six UCT medical students have conducted a research project with TAC. Together with TAC members, they surveyed patients at two health facilities in Cape Town on their perceptions and knowledge of TB and HIV service integration. Below is a slideshow of the students' research.
The results are interesting because they show that patients do want integration of TB and HIV services. Furthermore, the results are pleasing because the perception of patients of the two health facilities, Robbie Nurock Day Hospital and Chapel Street Clinic, was largely positive.
The UCT students followed this up by producing a pamphlet, under TAC's auspices, advocating for integrated HIV and TB services. A draft version of the pamphlet was tested on a TAC focus group. TAC members and the students distributed the pamphlet in Cape Town on 28 February. The pamphlet has been translated into Xhosa and Zulu. When it is finalised it will be placed on the TAC website and distributed by TAC members in other provinces.

At last Friday's popular and final After Hours for the winter 2009-2010 season, Ludo Graham, Executive Producer of BBC Two's Museum of Life, proved a warmly enthusiastic advocate for the Museum (although we hadn't paid him), at his Attenborough Studio talk about the making of the series about the Museum.
Although we ourselves have been living with the project for the past couple of years, it was fascinating to hear things from the programme makers' point of view, as Ludo took us through how the BBC and the Museum had been persuaded to accept the project; the fine art of choosing the presenters; and what from the vast kaleidoscope of Museum science stories here and in the field were finally focused on.
I met conservator Lorraine Cornish today, who featured with presenter Kate Bellingham in the Archaeopteryx casting in episode one of the series. Lorraine told me about the BBC Two's fascination with her red shoes, how they took lots of shots of her trundling down a corridor with a trolley whilst wearing them and that she was amused to see that one of the shots made it into the final cut.
Ludo (right) finished up with a particularly arresting point when he mentioned that Johannes Vogel, our Keeper of Botany, had said that if, by watching Museum of Life, people understand what goes on behind our doors, then we will have succeeded in our objectives.
One of the most memorable afternoons I've spent here was when invertebrates curator Claire Mellish, who featured in the beautiful section which Ludo showed, (particularly beautiful in high-definition in the Studio) talking about the attempt to extract dinosaur DNA from insects trapped in amber, took me around the trilobites collection and I got to see staggering things such as the evolution of the trilobite crystalline eye lenses.
The three BBC series producer events we ran at this season's After Hours were an excellent forum for people to discover how natural history can be communicated in different ways, and we have seen exactly how much effort goes into creating BBC natural history programmes. We are very grateful to the BBC producers who supported these events.
We bid farewell to the last Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2009 exhibition (below) as far as the late openings for this season, but the exhibition itself runs until 11 April. So you still have a chance to catch it over the weekend.
If you came to After Hours this winter, we hope you enjoyed the experience and thank you for coming. Come back for more when we launch the summer season and The Deep Sea exhibition opens.
We were amused by the chutzpah of the young ladies who smuggled in an attractive-looking picnic, complete with picnic rug, and set up in Dinosaur Way at Friday's event. We may need to start frisking people for strawberry cheesecakes next season. News of our summer After Hours coming soon...

Quebec Central Railway
- Removed rotten ties on deteriorated line
- Installed 6,000 new ties
- Surfaced track
This small branch line is owned and operated by the Quebec government. PNR RailWorks Quebec Inc. rehabilitated the line to meet Transport Canada and industrial standards necessary to service the industrial businesses on the line.
This track rehabilitation project presented a challenge because the track had not been maintained for many years. PNR RailWorks Quebec Inc. removed the deteriorated ties. The production gang followed and installed 6,000 new ties and ballast and resurfaced the track.
This project was more challenging than most rehabilitation projects due to the deteriorated condition of the ties and ballast. By sequencing the backhoe and production work, PNR RailWorks implemented a productive rehabilitation program. This efficient process facilitated project completion in record time.

Beata Solitudo
The Youth Hostel in Agerola (San Lazzaro), 650m above the Amalfi coast, was one of the first A.I.G. Hostels to open in Italy. Since 1949 it has occupied the original stables of the gatehouse to the long gone Castel Avitabile (1791-1850). The building itself is of historic interest as it is a Protected Building. Only the inside has been renovated, creating the Hostel and the Guest Rooms (2008), both of which have full bathroom facilities, living areas and lavish kitchens. The main Piazza and bus stop are directly in front of the building and behind and to the sides is the Campsite, with four large, grassy, shaded zones, fully equipped for tents or campervans

Voters reject alcohol sales in Alexander County
Voters reject alcohol sales in Alexander County
Voters in Alexander County have rejected alcohol sales in four different approaches.
The Charlotte Observer reported that each of the four questions before the voters this week were rejected by a margin of about 53 percent to 47 percent.
More than 10,000 people cast ballots on the questions, which included sales of malt beverages, unfortified wines, ABC stores and mixed beverage sales.
A group called Citizens for the Future of Alexander County convinced county commissioners in November to put the questions on the ballot.
Another group, Alexander Citizens for Faith and Family Values, opposed the alcohol sales.

Build a City of Poems: An Interactive Exhibition of Poetry and Art
For three weekends this summer, Poets House will create a poetic summer outpost in one of the historic houses of Governors Island Colonels' Row.
Featuring "Ode to New York City," an exhibition of art and poetry created by downtown elementary school students, and murals from the Community Word Project, visitors of all ages are invited to contribute their own drawings and poetry, filling in the outline of a gigantic mural cityscape created by artist Felipe Galindo, making a city of poems.
A Haiku station, inviting visitors to write and play with the ancient form via social media applications, will also be complemented by other stations with writing prompts.
Ferries run from Lower Manhattan all seven days and also run from Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pier 6 on Saturdays, Sundays, Memorial Day and Labor Day. Click here for more information on how to get to Governors Island


text: We were disappointed last summer when the Norton NRV588 didn't take a lap at speed around the Isle of Man circuit during the TT, but that didn't stop the British racing team from clocking 178mph on the salt flats. It looks like Norton Racing has taken the data they've learned from the NRV588 and plan to refine the machine into a 700cc race-spec motorcycle that's an evolution of the current 588cc pocket rocket. Altough Norton plays it coy on their website, rumor has it that they're reportedly eying the British Superbike series and maybe even a World Superbike comeback within the next three years.
