The Execution
It turns out execution is very blue in shape. And maybe a line of
gold if you get there safely. My execution was not a very long one.
It was quick and divine the way I imagine moon-dust to feel slipping
through my fingers. My execution had wit and charm—enchantment.
She was armed with freckles that didn't matter to her, and lips she
didn't care for. I told her every chance I had that they were spectacular.
Her name was Ellie. She had auburn hair and limbs long enough to
fawn over and eyes to skip into, especially when she was happiest (they
seemed to open up then, like I had my very own closet to jump into
when I got too scared). I loved everything about her. She became my
muse—I wanted her to star in all of my films.
One day I talked about how I needed her to point at the camera
and stare straight into it because I knew it would kill me
every single time—and I liked the feeling of being killed. The warmth,
the numb sensation, the blank page. The journey back. She agreed that
she would and I said it would be filmed in a meadow somewhere off
a highway where we would make love and maybe get married barefoot,
in whatever clothes we had on that day. We laughed about that for quite
a while. Then she got really excited and said I just gave her the best idea.
"What! What is it?" I asked eagerly. "I want to write you open," she said.
And I fell in love with her like have so many times before. How could
she say something so perfect? I thought.
I thought that maybe I could love a poet for all my life.
Perhaps we could write books together without killing
each other on the way. I finally answered her and said
"I want to be the one to close you."
She jumped into my arms until morning.
She was the first one to tell me that I am easy to tell things to—or
at least the first person I believed when they said it. Because I am easy
to tell things to. I like secrets enough not to get rid of them. I like pacts
and clandestine contracts. But mostly I like signatures—the deliberate
gibberish, the longing ink, the start and the finish. I think it's easy to
see your future when you are in love but it's hard enough to agree
with your past. Somehow I get into my mind and have a conversation
with myself, I think "Pass the order form, I'm gonna get a pen with an
erasure, blue if that's okay." I come back to form. I'm on my patio again.
The birds are not. I am by myself. Ellie is long gone. She told me
that she is not gay. But I was there when she kissed me—I will never
understand nor will I forgive her. But I need her. I need her in my life.
I want to disappear so I allow myself. I think of the birds. I figure they're
out there singing in b minor, that way they could modulate into d major
without any problems. Then I am cut off mid day-dream and enter another
dream. A girl I've never seen before says, "It's hard enough to dream in color."
I think this must be my mind again, trying to get my mind off of my broken heart.
But this girl has a point and I wanted to think about it. For a long time. I wanted
to sleep on it. So I walk towards my room ruminating on the subject. I am reminded
of a girl I once talked to who said she only dreamt in black and white, and I thought
it the strangest thing I've ever heard of. Then I
started to doubt how I dreamt. I could not remember if I dreamt in color or not and
could not understand why I even cared.
Did it mean something if you didn't dream in color?
Before I sleep I felt like writing, so I get my journal out and scrape some
letters down:
It was on the mezzanine
where we saw day
tame the night.
The stage held our eyes
in separate hands
clocked together
methodical in nature.
Oxymoron we Lust
Our smiles
stitched into microfilm
speaking of the light
and how it loved us.

NCAA enforcement restructures
New structure maximizes opportunities for greater efficiency
After an extensive review, NCAA vice president of enforcement Julie Roe Lach has restructured her staff to build upon prior successes while allowing more responsiveness to the changing environment. The staff will be functionally organized to develop information, investigate and process case. This structure will allow more flexible resources and staffing assignments, while also identifying key issues or sports that warrant increased attention.
The new structure maximizes opportunities for greater efficiency and effectiveness and will allow the staff to more easily "surge" to tackle complex cases or when there is a threat of compromise to an investigation.
"These enforcement structure changes bring us closer to our enforcement vision of a model investigative agency that strives for fairness and accountability while upholding integrity," NCAA president Mark Emmert said. "They ensure our enforcement resources are dedicated to the critical issues impacting investigations while providing opportunities for great efficiencies."
|Committee on Infractions
|Infractions Appeals Committee
|Enforcement Resources
The changes come following a six-month evaluation by enforcement staff leadership and two process consultants. The extensive review was coupled with outreach to NCAA membership and other key constituents to gather feedback and suggestions regarding the process and priorities.
"The new structure allows us to be focused on the priorities of our members. We will now be able to maximize our current resources in a more timely and thorough manner," Roe Lach said. "We need to focus more staff on critical issues in a concentrated way."
Citing an experienced enforcement staff, Roe Lach said it was important for the group to evolve as the investigative environment changes and capitalize on its strengths. She also noted that when appropriate, the staff is better positioned to assign multiple people to a case on a temporary or permanent basis.
The NCAA has regularly assessed and revised its enforcement function to ensure we are fulfilling our mission to ensure integrity and fair play," Roe Lach said. "This is a different model than what most of us are used to, but given the breadth of experiences and perspectives on staff, it make sense to pool resources when necessary."
Throughout the review and membership feedback process, it became clear the cultivation of sources and development of actionable information needed to be a priority. This led to the formation of the development staff, allowing information cultivation to be on the same level of focus as the investigation and processing of cases.
The information development staff will focus on strategically building knowledge, meaningful contacts and actionable leads to better inform investigations. There will be several key areas of emphasis including agents, football, men's and women's basketball as well as sports wagering.
Rachel Newman Baker, who previously served as the director of agents, gambling and amateurism activities, has been promoted to managing director of development and will share oversight responsibility for the investigation function.
"As investigators, we recognize some issues and key sports warrant increased attention and scrutiny," Newman Baker said. "This is also something we have heard loud and clear from our members."
Aiming to capitalize on the work done thus far in football as well as the previous success of the Basketball Focus Group and Agents, Gambling and Amateurism groups, these functions now will be housed together, said Newman Baker.
"Going forward, we will be able to learn from our successes from these two groups and identify areas that need to be better addressed," she added.
Tom Hosty, formerly a director of enforcement, is now a managing director and will oversee the department's processing function while sharing oversight of investigations with Newman Baker.
"The enforcement department processes approximately 25 major cases each year, as well as basketball event certification requests and more than 4,000 secondary cases," Hosty said. "We are well-equipped in this new structure to streamline the processing of these cases without compromising the fairness and thoroughness the member-created procedures provide."
The enforcement staff is also undertaking a new "information hub" initiative that will centralize the department's management of all case information. This hub will provide critical support for the information development, investigations and processing functions and will include an ongoing evaluation of potential technology needs, monitoring and maintaining information, data analysis and research, travel support as well as other vital operations.
None of these changes affect current NCAA rules regarding enforcement procedures. Any changes to procedures would require membership rule changes.

Cody Ross Agrees To Sign With Red Sox
Several hours after the news broke the Mets were interested in Cody Ross, he agreed to sign with the Red Sox. The deal is worth 3 million dollars. According to Adam Rubin the Mets did not want to spend over 1 million on Ross.
Sorry for the shortage/ Cody Ross
Extremely sorry for the shortage in writing as of late.
ESPN's Jerry Crasnick has reported that the Mets are extremely interested in acquiring Cody Ross.
Ross is currently 31, he hit .240 last year with 14 home runs and 52 RBIs.
Being that the Red Sox have just traded Marco Scutaro to the rockies, According to ESPN the Redsoxs will now be looking into acquire Roy Oswalt or Ross.
Beltran signs with Cardinals
Carlos Beltran former Mets CF singed a 2 year 26 million dollar deal with the Cardinals.
Mets sign Frank Francisco
The Mets have came to terms with free agent reliever Frank Francisco. The deal is worth $12 million dollars over two years.
Last year with Francisco was 1-4 with a 3.55 ERA also earning 17 saves with the Blue Jays, over 54 games.
Francisco looks to be a fit in New York because of his past in Texas. The hard throwing reliever could work in either a 7,8th inning spot or the closers spot depending one what the team does with their three new relievers.
Mets trade Pagan to Giants, for Ramon Ramirez and Andres Torres
According to Steve Popper of the Bergen Record, the Mets have traded CF Angel Pagan in return for RHP Ramon Ramirez and CF Andres Torres.
When Torres joined the Giants last year to avoid arbitration, he hit .221 with a .312 on base percentage. He also had four home runs and 19 RBI over 112 games.
Ramirez who also joined the team last year to avoid arbitration, went 3-3 with a 2.62 ERA pitching in 66 games.
Mets and Rauch agree to one year deal
According to Jim Duquette of MLB Network Radio, the Mets and Jon Rauch have agreed to a one year deal.
Pending a physical Rauch will join the Mets receive 3.5 million dollars.
Last year in 53 games with the Blue Jays he was 5-4 with a 4.85 ERA with 11 saves over 16 attempts.
Rauch coming off a below par year with the Blue Jays will look to revive his career with the Mets. Rauch has the potential to be the Mets closer, and a reliable on at that.
Mets moving in on Rauch
ESPN's Adam Rubin says that the mets have been making good progress with free agent reliever Jon Rauch.
Andy Martino of the Daily News on Twitter said the deal could take place tonight.
Reaction to Reyes
News broke last night that Jose Reyes has accepted the Miami
Marlins' offer of 111 million dollars over 6 years . Reyes, being one of the largest free agents
on the market was expected to rack in the big bucks this offseason. Clearly it was either that the Mets were not
fully convinced to resign Reyes because of his injury prone past or just the
fact that he was too much of an expense.
Well now there is nothing to do that could get him back, so what will
the Mets do now?
Many have the opinion that they should start an ultimate
rebuilding process. Some have said that they should go after a major free
agent. In my opinion I think they should
ship Wright for Hanley Ramirez. This
might sound absurd because the Marlins just signed Jose and are looking to build
the team up. According to the Miami
Herald Hanley had said "I'm the shortstop right now
and I consider myself a shortstop" and would not address the situation of his
position change any more. If you'd ask
me I'd have say that Hanley does not want to move from his home at
shortstop. Since the Mets have had interest
in moving Wright the Marlins could be a possibility. In addition to the Mets
and their interest in moving Wright, Hanley could soon demand a trade due to
him having to move positions. If it was Jose moving positions on the Marlins I would
think that there would be no chance of this deal. Jose will be staying at short stop so most likely we will hear soon where Hanley plans to play next season whether it be position or team.
Jose Reyes signs with Marlins
According to Buster Olney and Adam Rubin of ESPN Jose Reyes has agreed to a deal with the Miami Marlins. The deal is set for six years 111 million.
Bobby V hired as Red Sox's new manager
According to ESPN's Gordan Edes the Red Soxs have hired Bobby Valintine to be their next manager.
Former Mets manager, and Japinesse league manager will be returning to the majors for the first time since his last season with the Mets in 2002

Collection Time Period
Texas has recorded deaths from 1903 to the present, plus about 250 registrations from 1890-1939 and nearly 2,000 delayed registrations of death from 1890s-1990, as reported from obituaries and probate records.
Record Description
For the years 1903-1909, two small pre-printed "report of death" forms are on one page. From 1911 on, each death was recorded on a one-page pre-printed "standard death certificate" form. The year 1910 has a mixture of reports of death and standard death certificates.
Death Certificates 1903-1909 are arranged by County and Year, then are listed alphabetically by the first letter of the surname only. After the certificates were arranged in this manner, they were numbered in a single sequence running through that arrangement (Certificates 1-61,752 in 141 volumes).
Certificates for 1910 are generally arranged by Surname and then Given Name(s). The certificates were then numbered.
Certificates beginning with 1911 were arranged by year, month, then county. The arrangement below that appears to vary: Bexar county certificates appear to be generally in reverse alphabetical order by surname; some other counties appear to be in proper alphabetical order, while others appear to be in random order.
Whatever the arrangement, the certificates were bound in volumes and numbered with a repeating sequence of numbers for both the certificates and the bound volumes for each year, beginning with 1911 and continuing at least through 1976.
Record Content
Important genealogical facts found in death entries:
- Date of death for the deceased. Starting around 1911, the records increasingly include the burial and birth dates and places.
- Place of death for the deceased. Starting around 1911, the records increasingly include the cemetery name where buried, as well as the birthplace (the state and sometimes town or county).
- Name of the deceased. Starting around 1911, the records increasingly include the name of the spouse and parents, often with maiden surnames of women. The informant, who is often a child or other family member, is also named.
- Starting around 1911, the records increasingly note the names of the spouse and parents.
- Starting around 1911, they indicate whether the deceased was single, married, widowed, or divorced at the time of death.
- Starting around 1911, records give the occupation of the deceased and may identify the employer.
How to Use the Records
To begin your search you will need to know the following:
- The place where the death occurred
- The name of the person at the time of death
- The death date
Search the Collection
Fill in the "Search Collection" area with the requested information and click on the "SEARCH" box. The search feature will return a list of possible matches to your supplied information.
Compare the information about the ancestors in the list to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to find your ancestor. It may be helpful to keep a list of the names, certificate numbers, and DGS Film number of individuals with the same last name. That way you can easily return to them if you need to.
Using the Information
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Make a photocopy of the record, or extract the genealogical information needed. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details. Add this new information to your records of each family. The information may also lead you to other records about your ancestors. The following examples show ways you can use the information:
- Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find or verify their birth records and parents' names.
- Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find the family in census records.
- Use the residence and names of the parents (if the deceased is a child) to locate church and land records.
- Use the parents' birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- Occupations listed can lead you to other types of records such as employment or military records.
- The name of the cemetery may be a clue to their religion or area of residence in the county.
- The name of the undertaker or mortuary could lead you to funeral and cemetery records which often include the names and residences of other family members.
- Others with the same last name could be children, siblings, parents, or other relatives of the deceased who may have died or been buried in the same county or nearby.
- When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
- The information in these records is usually reliable, but depends upon the reliability of the informant.
- Earlier records may not contain as much information as the records created after the late 1800s.
- There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another record.
If you are unable to find the ancestors you are looking for, try the following:
- Check for variant spellings of the surnames.
- Check for an index. Local historical and genealogical societies often have indexes to local records.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby counties.
For a summary of this information see the wiki article: United States, How to Use the Records Summary (FamilySearch Historical Records).
Record History
Standard forms for death certificates and report of death were filled out by a county clerk, mortician or medical professional, who talked to the informant. The certificates were filed with county clerks or local registrars, who forwarded the information to the Texas Department of Health, now known as the Texas Department of State Health Services.
Why the Record Was Created
Deaths were recorded to better serve public health needs. They were also used in connection with the probate of wills and the administration of estates.
Record Reliability
Information pertaining to death is reliable; including cause of death, name of the attending physician or medical professional, name and address of the funeral home used, and the exact date and place of burial. The other information is usually provided by the informant (often a family member). The reliability of this information depends upon the following:
- Length of time since the event. Birth information or age for an adult may not be exact.
- If the informant knew the answers to the questions. An adult child or sibling of the deceased was more likely to know the answers. Women tended to learn and remember family information more often than men.
- The informant's interest in giving accurate information. Some information may have been colored by family secrets, etc.
- Emotional state of the informant. Emotions generated by death may have degraded the quality of the information.

Carbohydrates (car-bow-HIGH-drates) are nutrients in food that turn into glucose (sugar) after being digested to provide energy to the body. People with diabetes should have a moderate amount of carbohydrate at each meal, rather than avoiding them completely. Eating the right amount of carbohydrate at each meal will help to keep blood glucose in a healthy range.
Below are some basic guidelines for counting and regulating the amount of carbohydrate in the diet. In general, these foods contain carbohydrates:
Carbohydrates (carbs) are often counted in "servings" or "choices". One carb choice contains about 15 grams of total carbohydrate. The portions in the table below are equal to one carb choice. In general, women should have 3 to 4 carb choices at each meal and men should have 4 to 5 carb choices at each meal. Both can have 1 to 2 carb choices as an evening snack.
Meat and meat substitutes do not raise your blood glucose. If eaten in excess, they can keep the blood glucose elevated for a longer period of time. Also, meats high in fat can raise cholesterol levels and cause weight gain. It is important to make healthy food choices, so choose lean meats such as:
Limit high-fat protein sources, including highly marbled beef, regular cheese, hot dogs, and processed lunchmeats (such as bologna and salami). Rather than frying, prepare foods by baking, broiling, grilling, or steaming.
Fat does not raise your blood glucose, but like protein, can keep the blood glucose elevated if eaten in excess. Fat can contribute to heart disease and weight gain. It is important that you limit the amount of fat you eat and choose healthy fats most often.
Sodium (SO-dee-um)is a mineral found in many foods and medicines. It is most commomly known as salt. In the body, sodium helps to regulate blood pressure and body fluids. Most Americans consume more than 5,000 mg (milligrams) of sodium daily. A healthy diet for people with diabetes would be to limit sodium to less than 1,500 mg daily. To reduce sodium in the diet:
You can eat unlimited amounts of food and drinks that have zero carbohydrate and zero calories. These include water, diet drinks, and sugar-free gelatin.
Non-starchy vegetables contain small amounts of carbohydrate. Try to eat at least 2 to 3 servings (1/2 cup cooked or 1 cup raw) with each meal. These foods are good for you because they are high in fiber and low in calories and carbohydrate:
You may eat food and drinks that have 5 grams or less of total carbohydrate per serving. You should limit yourself to 2 to 3 servings throughout the day. (For information, read the section in this page called, "Understanding food labels.")
Sugar-free sweets are NOT free foods; they still may contain carbohydrates. Be careful not to eat too much sugar-free candy. For example, if 1 piece of sugar-free hard candy contains 5 grams of total carbohydrate and you eat 3 pieces at a time, you ate 15 grams of total carbohydrate.
People with diabetes should eat the same moderate amount of total carbohydrate at about the same time every day. In other words, eat the same number of carbohydrate choices at each meal. Follow a schedule and space meals about 4 to 5 hours apart.
Labels on many supermarket foods read "low carbohydrate" (low carb). Before you buy a low-carbohydrate food, be sure to look at the nutrition label.
Some low-carbohydrate products may have higher amounts of other items such as calories, fat and soduim than the regular products. If so, they may not be good choices for your meal plan. Remember, there are no government guidelines for low-carbohydrate and net-carbohydrate products.
In addition, sugar alcohols are often found in low-carbohydrate foods. They can affect blood glucose. They also may have a laxative effect and cause bloating, gas, and diarrhea in some individuals.
In general, 1 carbohydrate choice equals about 15 grams of total carbohydrate per serving.
Examples include:
Review this sample nutrition label to help you understand more about counting carbohydrates.
Start with serving size. How many servings will you eat? The nutrients listed are based on 1 serving of food. Note the number of servings in the package.
The total fat, saturated fat, and trans fat content are important. Try to keep these low.
Look at the total carbohydrate number. This shows the amount of carbohydrate in 1 serving of this food. If you eat 2 servings, you must double the number of carbohydrate grams. Dietary fiber, sugar, and sugar alcohols are indented under the total carbohydrate count because they are part of the total carbohydrate amount.
A diet high in fiber can help manage cholesterol and blood glucose levels. Look for food products with more than 5 grams of fiber.
Not all food products will be a perfect 15 grams of total carbohydrate. Use this conversion chart to translate your nutrition label. Be sure to check the serving size. Example: 5 large pretzels contain 26 grams of total carbohydrate, which equals 2 carbohydrate choices.
Total: 4 carbohydrate choices
Total: 4 carbohydrate choices
Total: 1 carbohydrate choice

New research shows how marine organisms help oceans sequester carbon
ARGONNE, Ill. (June 2008)As the international search for ways to remove carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the environment intensifies, a team of scientists has identified a process by which marine organisms influence the amount of atmospheric carbon the sea absorbs.
Oceanic diatomsunicellular glassy algaeharvest a key energy-storing molecule containing phosphorus from the dissolved compounds in ocean water. Instead of processing the phosphorus and releasing it back into the environment, the algae collect and store it in a compound known as a polyphosphate, said physicist Ian McNulty of the U.S. Department of Energys Argonne National Laboratory. McNulty collaborated with researchers from the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, Georgia, and the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of South Carolina.
The algae then convert these polyphosphate compounds into microscopic pellets that they store for energy. When these diatoms die, however, the polyphosphate pellets contained in their skeletons sink to sediments at the bottom of the ocean. With time, the polyphosphates are transformed into a mineral phosphate called apatite, thus completing the sequestration of phosphorus from seawater.
If we can understand how phosphorus uptake, metabolism and sequestration take place within marine organisms, we could uncover information that might give us clues as to how carbon uptake and sequestration take place in the ocean and affect the global carbon balance, McNulty said. This research is of huge interest to climatologists and bears directly on and the potential to combat global warming.
Phosphorus is one of the principal ingredients of fertilizer as well as many other compounds present in significant quantities in agricultural runoff that winds up in large bodies of water, said oceanographer Jay Brandes of Skidaway, who collaborated with McNulty on the research.
Oceans are the repositories of everything that washes off of the lands, and phosphorus is an important nutrient for all kinds of life, especially plant life. Brandes said. The interesting thing about this particular process is that because these diatoms need it to survive, the levels of phosphorus will control the size of the algae population. As the diatoms use up the available phosphorus and turn it into polyphosphates, they will die off in large numbers, altering the phosphorus balance.
In most regions of the ocean, nutrient levels in the water dictate the rate of both phosphorus and carbon sequestration. The removal of carbon from the environment is controlled by the removal of phosphorus and nitrogen, according to Brandes.
During the course of their research, McNulty and his colleagues were surprised to discover that the diatoms created polyphosphates even in waters that contained relatively low concentrations of dissolved phosphorus. The polyphosphates created by the diatoms also proved more durable than anticipated, Brandes said, allowing the researchers to glimpse their entire lifecycle from solutes to apatite.
Much of the research, led by oceanographer Ellery Ingall of Georgia Tech, was performed at Argonnes Advanced Photon Source. The results were published in the May 2 issue of the journal Science.
McNultys work on this research project was funded by the U.S. Department of Energys Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences. Brandes and Ingalls work was funded by the National Science Foundation.

Lunar Lion Superstars
Penn State's Lunar Lion project, which aims to send a vehicle to the moon, is helping to establish the University as a provider of top graduates and research for the space industry.
Without textbooks, blueprints, or even a template to follow, Penn State students and faculty in engineering, physics, astronomy, geoscience, journalism and business are engaged in a rare opportunity to build a robotic spacecraft — the Lunar Lion — that will land on the moon and return high-resolution images, video footage and scientific data.
Michael V. Paul, project lead and space systems engineer in the University's Applied Research Laboratory, said, "This is an opportunity for Penn State to establish itself as a leader in a growing field — a provider of the best research and the best graduates to the commercial and private space industry."
Funding for the mission comes from a combination of philanthropy, corporate sponsors and scientific partners in the private sector. Maria Matthews, who graduated from Penn State in December with a doctoral degree in physics, served as the team's business development coordinator. Her work has given her insight into the diversity of the space industry and opened new doors for her in the field.
Matthews, a California native, was focused on building a career in the space industry. Her adviser told her about Penn State's Lunar Lion and recommended she get involved. "There are people from so many disciplines working on this project," she said. "I thought I'd be here to work on systems engineering, but I've learned so much more about the business side of the project, and it's a lot more exciting to me." She recently started a job at an aerospace start-up in Huntsville, Ala.
"This is an opportunity for Penn State to establish itself as...a provider of the best research and the best graduates to the commercial and private space industry."--Michael Paul, space systems engineer in the Applied Research Laboratory
Paul, who himself was the spacecraft systems engineer for NASA's MESSENGER Mission to Mercury, says Penn State is the only university leading a team in the contest. The other competitors are privately funded. Nevertheless, he likes his team's chances. "With a group of scientists and engineers who understand the difficult tasks of operating in harsh environments, coupled with the energy and ambition of Penn State students, the Lunar Lion can win this competition," he said.
According to Kevin Walker, a senior from Annapolis, Md., and the student project coordinator, about 20 students are working closely on the project, with more joining every month. For Walker, an industrial engineering major, participating in the Lunar Lion initiative while balancing his studies and his Air Force ROTC obligations has taught him a lot about time management and building good habits while applying his growing technical skills.
"I've learned a lot about technology and business management," said Walker. "This has been an incredible experience, and when I get out of the Air Force I'd be interested in a career focused more on the design process or even management. I've learned a lot about making my own decisions based on where we need to go next with this project."
"It's like an industry internship, on campus," Reuben Bushnell, electrical engineering graduate student.
Reuben Bushnell, an electrical engineering graduate student from Baltimore working on power system design for Penn State's moon lander, said that what makes the project more challenging is that the work each person does impacts everyone else's. "So if we're not communicating with each other, it could affect everyone else," Bushnell said. "You're responsible for your area, but you're responsible for other areas as well."
"This is more like an industry internship, on campus," Bushnell added. "We're working with a multitude of suppliers for parts, and we're learning a lot about troubleshooting."
Pioneers in a New Space
According to Paul, this kind of careful, coordinated development of complex systems made the Apollo program and other ambitious space projects successful where competing programs around the world failed. The American process of systems engineering, he said, is key to the nation's continued technical and economic strength, and the Lunar Lion is an exciting way to train Penn State students in the practice.
The Lunar Lion project is an opportunity for Penn State to position itself for future research in space systems and exploration at a time when the space industry is transforming, with the retirement of the Space Shuttle and the birth and recent successes of a growing number of private space companies, he said. And, as the Lunar Lion team attracts more funding and builds its momentum through the next phase, it will add to Penn State's production of the technical and human capital that the country needs to spur economic growth, even before this University-led team launches for the moon.
"It's a great example of how Penn State is serving the country — we're generating leaders here, in addition to growing technical expertise," Paul said.

A slosh brain is someone who has a mental disability, or your average person. Unaware of having any manners, drives a low "pimped out" honda civic with a homosexual exghaust pipe that he alone is the only person that thinks it sounds good. A slosh brain also can be used for African Americans that are hypersensitive about their own race, turning anything and everything into a racist remark, slosh brain runs exspecially rampant in female African Americans that think people owe them something, don't hold the door for others, speaks extremely loud for absolutely no reason, eats with mouth open, ignorant to pretty much everything in their life. Slosh brain is also the typical person that doesnt know how to drive, such as tailgating,going 35mph in a 55mph, going slower then traffic in the left lane.

HARTSVILLE, SC — Coker defeated UNC Pembroke 11-6 Tuesday afternoon in collegiate baseball and head coach Dave Schmotzer earned his 500th career victory in the process. The Cobras improve to 25-17 overall while the Braves drop to 24-18 on the season.
Pembroke started the game off with a run in the first on an RBI single by Tripp Lockhart. Starter Mark Mattox sent the Cobras down 1-2-3 in the first but in the second the Coker bats heated up.
Brian Nally and Ben Kershner got on base and advanced on a sacrifice bunt by T.J. Dawson. Senior Dustin Docktercame to the plate with two outs and stroked a single back up the middle to drive home two runs. A third run scored on a bunt single by Nic Fletcherbefore the third out was recorded.
Pitcher Seth Weinberg cruised after the early hiccup and the Cobras gave him a seven run advantage with a big third inning at the plate. Justin Simshad a RBI triple and scored on a Brian Johansonfielder's choice. Coker had four hits in the inning and benefited from one error to score five runs.
The Cobras added two more in the fifth and one in the seventh for an 11-2 lead. Weinberg went 6 innings with only two runs allowed but the Braves got to pitcher Larry Morris for four runs in the eighth inning. Blake Miller pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to seal the landmark victory for Schmotzer and the Cobras.
Schmotzer came to Coker from Union College in Kentucky and started the Cobra baseball program in 1993. Prior to this season he ranked among the top-35 Division II coaches in victories and his career record now stands at 500-275-1.
Fletcher went 1-3 on the day with three RBI and Dockter went 3-3 with two RBI and a run scored. Nally and Kershner both garnered two hits and two runs scored and Sims went 2-4 with a run scored and one RBI.
Lockhart went 2-2 with two walks one RBI and a run scored for Pembroke and Zach Conaway drove in a pair of runs. Mattox took the loss for the Braves, lasting three and a third innings with nine hits and eight runs allowed, of which three were earned.
Coker is now scheduled to face Shaw University in Raleigh, NC on Thursday, April 14, at 2:00 PM.

2015 Mustang Revealed
Right before the big auto show season kicked off, Ford dropped the curtain on the new 2015 Mustang. Roughly 3.1 seconds later everyone in the known universe expressed their opinion of the design as if they were Harley Earl. The redesign is not too drastic but there are certainly areas where Ford has made changes, specifically in the front and rear ends. Some of the corporate design language carries into the grille, and frankly we're not sure what the inspiration for the back of the car was. We do know that it has IRS and that any axle company with their stuff together will have a Mustang in their shop soon to draw up a bolt-in solid axle setup for the drag race crowd. Will the Cobra Jet be IRS? We think not. There will be three engines available including a 300hp 2.3L EcoBoost four banger and the 5.0L V-8, which will get a bump to 420-plus horsepower. The Getrag trans is getting a new shifter as well so ripping through the cogs should be a more pleasurable experience. Look for the full story in PHR next month! —Brian Lohnes
Forza 5—Video Game Better Than Nothing
Never heard of the Forza franchise of video games? You're probably an old person. No worries though because we've got you covered. This insanely popular series is currently up to its fifth revision and the newest one should make things even more fun. The game has added drag racing where up to eight players can compete against one another on tracks ranging from a quarter-mile to a full mile in length. Also, cars have gotten easier to "buy," so that Ferrari you have been building up credits to purchase for five years is probably only going to take you another one and a half to get. Then again there's always going to the real dragstrip. Novel concept, we know. —Brian Lohnes
Gov't Sells GM Stock—Barra Named CEO
Well the Ford and Chrysler guys will have to cease and desist with the "government motors" jokes toward General Motors because the U.S. government has sold all of its remaining interest in the company and it is back to being a regular non-government owned company. GM celebrated the stock sale by naming Mary Barra as their newest CEO. Barra becomes the first woman to lead a major U.S. automaker and by all accounts she has what it takes to do the job. Bob Lutz has been very complimentary, and her career spans both the "bean counter" end of things and the engineering "car guy" end of things as well. She is an enthusiast and it will be interesting to see her settle into the role of CEO. It doesn't hurt that she's kinda cute too. —BangShift.com
Matusek To Go Pro Mod Racing
We love it when somebody close to Team PHR steps up to the big time, and Steve Matusek—owner of Aeromotive Fuel Systems—is doing just that in his move up the ladder to NHRA Pro Mod. Aeromotive is a leader in making some of the most potent fuel systems in racing, and that experience will prove invaluable as Matusek—an experienced racer—pilots an alcohol-injected and supercharged 1968 Camaro in one of the most exciting classes in all of drag racing. Matusek will drive the second car in the Danny Rowe Racing stable in the 2014 NHRA Pro Mod circuit that will span 10 races, the first of which takes place in Gainesville, Florida, this March. Good luck Steve—we'll be rooting for you! —Johnny Hunkins
Goodguys Autocross Schedule Announced

Imagine it's 2022. What is it like to walk into your doctor's office? Maybe you make an appointment through an app on your tablet and walk through the door just a few hours later. Then, when you're done, you might use that same device to hand over your copay. Perhaps you don't see a doctor, but instead join a group of fellow patients to get tips from a dietitian.
Or maybe you don't even walk in the office, but get your blood test results through an Internet portal and then exchange a series of questions and answers with your doctor over secure email.
Meanwhile, the medical office you go to is more likely than ever to be part of a hospital or large group practice, and your insurance plan is more likely to limit where you can seek care.
Those are some suggestions from Central Massachusetts doctors and medical experts about what their industry could look like in a decade. Whether these kinds of predictions come to pass is far from clear. For one thing, there are major political developments afoot that could shape the health care industry in major ways. For another, it's always dangerous to make definitive statements about future technology — and health care is supremely dependent on technical developments. But current trends make the adoption of practices like these reasonably likely.
The office of Robert Q. Terrill, a Worcester shoulder and hand specialist, stands at the intersection of old and new ways of practicing medicine. He works at the Saint Vincent Hospital building, but he's a sole practitioner, renting his space.
The practice is a family operation, like many solo practices historically have been. The office manager is Dr. Terrill's son, James. The younger Terrill said he has a background in medical technology, and the office has been an early adopter of things like electronic medical records. Terrill has also been able to set up things like a system that lets customers pay the office through their iPhones and electronic signatures to make paperwork easier to organize. He said new x-ray technology means they no longer have to send patients to the hospital to check for a broken bone. Instead, the doctor can see a patient, do an on-site x-ray, put a cast on if necessary and get them out the door.
"From a patient standpoint, that's awesome," Terrill said.
But the technology is both very expensive and very complex for a small office to deal with. Terrill said when they decided to connect different internal IT systems, it meant hiring a single programmer who took a year to complete the job.
"That's difficult, that you need to know so far in advance what you need to do," he said.
The obvious solution to these kinds of problems is to become part of a larger organization that can provide technological solutions more economically. Many hospitals are happy to buy physicians' practices. A survey by the American Hospital Association found that community hospitals nationwide employed 160,000 doctors in 2000. By 2010, the number was up to 212,000, or about 20 percent of all practicing physicians. That doesn't include the consolidation of solo practices and small partnerships into large group practices, which many say anecdotally also appears to be a major trend.
"It's something that I know a lot of other doctors have done here at Saint Vincent," Terrill said. "The hard thing is that, in doing that, you lose your autonomy."
He said that's especially difficult for older doctors like his father, who are used to setting their own schedules and deciding how and when to see patients.
It's not just in individual practices that more technology means more complications. Jack Dutzar, president and CEO of Reliant Medical Group — the area's major multispecialty medical group — started practicing medicine four decades ago, before the advent of laparoscopic procedures, robot-assisted surgery or precise imaging technology like CT scans and MRIs.
"Of course we had x-rays," he said. "I'm not that old."
Dutzar said technology has so far not fulfilled the promise of simplifying medicine — the Star Trek vision of a universal device that a doctor could wave over a patient to diagnose his or her precise condition. Instead, advanced procedures like genetic testing can only suggest that a patient might be vulnerable to a particular cancer, leading to more rounds of expensive testing and observation.
With all that added expense comes a societal consensus that someone needs to make sure health care dollars are being put to their best use, and insurance companies and government agencies have stepped in to do that.
"People want to know where the money's going and what your decisions are like," Dutzar said. "I think it's a very good thing. I think it's critically important, although often clumsily and awkwardly implemented."
Right now, many insurance plans limit the hospitals that members can choose or make them share the extra cost of going to an expensive medical center. Various organizations also publicize the cost of care in different places along with quality scores and patient satisfaction levels to help patients choose the best-value option.
A more comprehensive way of changing how health care expense works is the much-discussed combination of globalized payments and accountable care organizations. Essentially, a health care entity — perhaps a hospital and a bunch of affiliated doctors' offices or a large multispecialty physicians' group like Reliant — is paid a set amount for each member in exchange for ensuring they get whatever care they need. It's similar to capitation systems that were tried and discarded in the 1990s, but advocates say current electronic records technology can improve outcomes by holding the accountable care organizations responsible for quality as well as cost.
Daniel Lasser, chairman of the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, said the consolidation of doctors into large groups won't happen overnight, in part because older doctors don't want the hassle of switching to a whole new way of doing things. But he said a tightly organized system could make care much more efficient.
"I think the ideal practice — and this is probably a pipe dream — but if you're going to build it from scratch, you'd have a hub-and-spoke kind of arrangement," he said.
Primary care would be available all over the place, and specialists like optometrists or physical therapists would cycle among the local sites. Patients would visit a hospital only for serious situations — and except in extreme cases — they'd go to a community medical center, not a large teaching hospital. It's something the UMass Memorial Health Care system is already starting to address, Lasser said, shifting less critical care to the community hospitals it owns and away from UMass Medical Center.
Lasser said globalized payment systems will also allow for much more creativity in how care is provided. In the currently dominant fee-for-service system, he said, a health care provider gets paid for a doctor's visit, but not for an email exchange, and not as much for a visit with a nurse or dietitian. If an organization were being paid simply to manage a member's health, it could run a group visit in which 10 diabetics struggling with controlling their blood sugar would meet with a dietitian for an extended time instead of having short individual appointments with a doctor.
"Who do you think is going to do a better job?" Lasser said. "I'm willing to concede the dietitian is probably going to do a better job than I can."
Lasser said global payments would also encourage doctors to communicate with patients remotely for things like routine test results. "If I'm booked to see 25 patients tomorrow, probably 15 of them could be handled over the phone or asynchronously (though email or an online portal), and 10 of them really need to be seen," he said.
Getting rid of the 15 unnecessary appointments would allow a doctor to meet with patients for much longer when necessary, Lasser said, when they have to give someone a new diagnosis, for example.
He said doctors' offices will probably book appointments on shorter notice and stay open longer so that at least some locations within a system are available to patients on weekends and evenings.
"You can go shopping on Sunday now and you can do practically anything around the clock, but it's a lot harder to get in and see your doctor," he said. "We are hearing from the marketplace that there's a demand for this."
Richard Aghababian, president of the Massachusetts Medical Society and founding chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at UMass Medical School, said improved, efficient health care will come with less choice for consumers. Accountable care organizations or insurance companies will direct patients to particular providers.
"You will have less opportunity to shop around," he said. "It will be clear which hospital you use."
But Aghababian said the information systems that are now in place will make sure patients don't lose out on quality of care. That's an important point, he said — people shouldn't forget how much better modern health care has made people's lives.
"Yes we've become expensive," he said. "But in the end, we're living better and the quality of our life is better than it was." n

About The Author
Imam Abu Hamid Muhammad Al-Ghazali, famous in the world of learning as al-Ghazzali was born in 450 AH (1058 A.D). in Persia.
He graduated from the Nizamia Madressa at Nishapur, with distinction.a very famous educational institution in Nishapur. Later he was appointed as a teacher at the Nizamia College in Baghdad, where he proved very successful in imparting knowledge to the scholars under his care.
This valuable gift of sustaining interest of his pupils and passing on his knowledge to them made him so famous that students from all parts of the country flocked to study under him.
Imam al-Ghazzali was fondly referred to as the 'Hujjat-ul-lslam', Proof of Islam, He is honoured as a scholar and a saint by learned men all over the world.
Al-Ghazali is generally acclaimed as the most influential thinker of the Classical period of Islam, in his autobiography "The Deliverance from Error", the Imam describes his education and his intellectual crisis, which left him so paralysed by doubt that he he gave up his academic pursuits and worldly interests and became a wandering ascetic.
This was a process (period) of mystical transformation. Later, he resumed his teaching duties, but again left these. An era of solitary life, devoted to contemplation and writing then ensued, which led to the authorship of a number of everlasting books.
An Excerpt from the Book
(FROM) Book Four : Evil of Tongue
It is the fourth book of the third quarter of destructive.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah Who made good the creation of man, and formed him in due proportion, and inspired him the light of faith with which He has adorned and beautified him, and revealed to him the faculty of speech therewith He gave him superiority over all of His creatures, and overflowed his heart with depositories of knowledge, and sent upon him a curtain from His mercy which He hung on it, and provided him with a tongue therewith to interpret what lies within the heart and mind, disclose what is concealed in him, tell the truth, and send praises and thanks for His favours on him.
I bear witness to the fact that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Almighty, the One and Only, Who has no partner with Him, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, whom He honoured and exalted, and sent with a Book He revealed to him, made superior his favor, and clarified his ways "Peace be upon him".
Coming to the point: verily, tongue is one of the great favors bestowed by Allah on man, and His amazing and fine things. Although it is small in size, its sin and obedience have a great consequence. It is that the faith could be distinguished from disbelief only through the witness of tongue, and they represent the utmost degree of obedience and disobedience. Furthermore, there is neither existing nor non-existing, neither creator nor created, neither imagined or concrete, but that the tongue deals with it and either affirms or denies it. The tongue expresses of all the objects of knowledge whether in truth or in falsehood. This characteristic is lacking in all the other organs of the body. The eye, for instance, perceives only images and colours, the ear sounds, the hand the concrete bodies, etc.
The field of tongue is expansive and limitless, and it applies to both good and evil. If the tongue is released with nothing to rein it or bind its freedom, Satan then takes it to all fields of evil, and drives it to the verge of a bank that is about to collapse, until it leads him to perdition. Of a surety, nothing draws the people prone on their faces into the fire of Hell other than the evil of their tongues. None is saved from the evil of the tongue except he, who reins it with the rein of religious law: he releases it only in what benefits him in the world and the hereafter, and stops it from anything whose evil consequence is feared.
The knowledge of the praiseworthy and blameworthy states in which the tongue should be released, and acting upon that accordingly are abstruse and difficult. The tongue is the most disobedient organ upon man. There is no trouble to be exerted to release and move it. The people have indulged in avoiding its evils and vices, and its traps and snares. It is the strongest tool of Satan.

Best Food, 2006
The 2006 Fair hosted a number of new and returning food vendors, and awards were well distributed among veterans and rookies.
Once again, food judges were hard pressed to eat everything offered and needed some last minute sample runs to better inform the discussion. We agreed that judges really need two days of tasting to do our vendors justice.
Award recipients were:
As in the past two years, judges for the 2007 Fair will be chosen by a random drawing of interested site volunteers and Fair Planning Team members. Virtue does have its rewards.

State Needs to Commit to Higher Ed
Published in Tampa Tribune, March 4, 2008
By CATHERINE DOLINSKI and MIKE SALINERO
Faced with a deepening economic recession, Gov. Charlie Crist on Tuesday challenged state lawmakers to embrace a federal bailout for Florida and its residents rather than "put politics over their needs."
Even Crist, a constant optimist whose sunny outlook has endeared him to voters, acknowledged during his annual State of the State address that Florida is suffering from a 16-year unemployment high, rising foreclosure rates and a crippling credit crunch.
But he continued to sound notes of hope and confidence in the state's ability to bounce back.
"The state of our state may be challenged today, but, my friends, the determination of our people is stronger than ever," he said during his speech, delivered at the end of the first day of the spring legislative session during a joint session of the House and Senate.
Lawmakers returned to the Capitol on Tuesday to begin a 60-day session that promises to focus overwhelmingly on the state's beleaguered budget. Despite scaling back spending this year during a special session in January, House and Senate budget writers expect now to have to stave off a deficit of as much as $700 million this year and $5 billion next year, because of declines in state tax collections.
"With every crisis comes opportunity," Crist told lawmakers during his speech. He wasted no time in singling out the primary "opportunity" of which he wants lawmakers to avail themselves while crafting the state budget: federal stimulus dollars.
While state budget analysts pore over the details of Florida's portion of the federal stimulus package approved by Congress and President Barack Obama, Crist is predicting a windfall of more than $12 billion for Florida. Of that, the governor is proposing to use $5 billion to shore up state spending next year.
Conservatives Are Concerned
Conservative state lawmakers remain cautious, offering a mixture of ideological and practical concerns about using such a large - and temporary - federal handout to patch up the state's budget.
"Balancing our budget on non-recurring dollars, without reductions in spending or new resources of revenue, will leave us with a bigger budget gap three years from now than the one we face today," Senate President Jeff Atwater said Tuesday during his opening address of the chamber.
Crist took aim at the skeptics in his own party, who have lambasted him in recent weeks for cozying up to the new Democratic president and abandoning their brand of fiscal conservatism.
"Some argue the politics of the federal stimulus plan - I understand that," he said. "But my friends, while our people worry, we cannot put politics over their needs ... We should not ask what it means to be Republican, nor should we ask what it means to be Democrat, but rather we should ask what it means to be a good, decent human being."
Asked afterward about Crist's remark, House Majority Leader Adam Hasner said that Floridians are looking for more realism from their leaders.
"I don't know if it was a 'low blow,' but I think the fact is the people of Florida want their leaders to talk to them and to level with them in real terms," said Hasner, R-Delray Beach. "I think the people need to understand that, regarding the federal stimulus dollars, there are still more questions than answers ... we don't know what the budget holes will be in the future if we use that money today."
Among other things, Crist's budget plan for the coming fiscal year calls for increasing funding for K-12 education and fully funding the state's Florida Forever land conservation program. But, per tradition, the governor based his budget proposal on the state's last official revenue estimates - which are expected to tumble when the analysts update their projections on March 13.
"That potentially could render the governor's budget as being one that we cannot base our decisions on as a Legislature when we go to do the work over the course of the next 60 days," Hasner said.
Many Tampa Bay area lawmakers lauded Crist for his upbeat approach.
Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Sarasota, applauded Crist's tone even as he repeated his doubts about the affordability of Florida's plan to purchase land to restore the Everglades for $1.35 billion. "I'm all in favor of saving the Everglades; I just can't figure out how we can afford it under that particular proposal."
Hillsborough County Delegation Chairman Will Weatherford likewise disagreed with Crist's call for continued funding of Florida Forever.
"I don't think we should spend money on Florida Forever this year," said Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel. "I think that's $300 million that could go to pay for our basic needs."
Focus On Higher Education
Crist also said the state needs to renew its commitment to colleges and universities - a call that students from Florida State University and Florida A&M University made Tuesday during a rally on the back steps of the Capitol.
Rebecca Brower, an FSU doctoral student at the rally, said per-student higher education spending in Florida is near the bottom in the nation. "That's shameful," she said, "and it's ruining our economy. There's a reason we have the third-worst economy in the nation."
Senate Minority Leader Al Lawson, D-Tallahassee, reiterated Crist's commitment to higher education in his response to the governor's speech.
"Not only do we need to hold the line on any further spending cuts to education, but we need a rededication to higher education, especially community colleges," Lawson said. "Because it is these institutions which have become a beacon to all those laid off construction workers, service-related employees, retail sales clerks, and every displaced job seeker seeking retraining in promising new fields."
Sen. Victor Crist, R-Tampa, said the governor is starting the session on an appropriately high note with ambitious goals.
He compared Charlie Crist to President Ronald Reagan - whom both the state House and Senate honored earlier in the day by declaring Feb. 6, 2010, as "Ronald Reagan Day" in Florida.
"His wit and personality and love for this country pulled people together," Victor Crist said of Reagan. "Our governor is pulling people together, too."

The Company You Keep
What happens when '60s radicals go underground, take on new identities, and resurface to live downright suburban lives?
So many of us can look back at different eras of our lives and say that we were different people, but for some members of groups like the Weather Underground, it's quite literally true. The Company You Keep takes its cues from those members of the Underground who left the group and remained fugitives, whether literally on the run or figuratively, with new names and lives. What's especially interesting is that these radical leftists, who some have called terrorists, are now our parents and grandparents, our lawyers and professors, living normal - one might even say bourgeois - lives.
That's the case with Jim Grant (Robert Redford), an upstanding citizen, father, and lawyer who takes on the sort of do-gooder cases that are usually the bread and butter of avowed bleeding hearts and not well-to-do widowers. When a former Weather Underground member named Sharon Solarz (Susan Sarandon) turns herself in, the story falls in the lap of Ben Shepard, a hungry young reporter played by a bespectacled and smarmy Shia LaBeouf. Once Ben starts sniffing around, Jim's guard goes up, which only makes the journalist more curious. What unfurls is a network of former Weathermen, some of whom still live under the radar and on the run, and others that left the group before things got too hairy. None of them are particularly thrilled to see their former comrade come calling, either. Ben's trying his damndest to stay on top of the story even as the trail takes him across the country, but Jim's one step ahead of him. The question is what he's running away from or, as Ben suspects, towards.
RELATED: What Do You Think of Shia LaBeouf's Journalist Impression?
The Company You Keep gives up its secrets too readily. Sharon Solarz is more than happy to grant her only jailhouse interview to Ben so she can expound on her radical values, though it's not clear why she was planning to give herself up or how the FBI managed to catch her beforehand. The FBI agents are just a tad too cartoonish, like Terrence Howard's suspicious Agent Cornelius and Anna Kendrick's Diana, who helps Ben out a little simply because he's the kind of jackass who would ask a former flame for such a favor. Other flourishes get lost in the mix; there are nods to the changing landscape of journalism, like Ben's harried boss played by Stanley Tucci, and a truncated subplot that gives you the feeling something was left on the cutting room floor, to the detriment to the story.
It's hard to deny the gravitas of Robert Redford, whether as a patron of the arts, a director, or an actor. His strength of character lends The Company You Keep an air of seriousness that benefits this promising thriller, but neither he nor the impressive cast can keep this film moving. Some of the scenes are wonderfully tense, but the energy lags when the focus shifts to Ben's storyline. He does get journalism points for using a microfiche reader, though.
The movie already clocks in at 125 minutes, so some of Jim's cross-country travels could have been trimmed. The quality of the filmmaking, from cinematography to the music by Cliff Martinez, is hard to find fault with, but The Company You Keep doesn't linger after the credits roll.

Driving in Texas could get more expensive
Photo: Steve Campbell, Houston Chronicle
Houston drivers are no strangers to toll roads, but have found peace in the stance that no existing interstates will be tolled, but the federal government may change that.
The Obama Administration's transportation proposal would lift the ban on tolling interestates to pay for rebuilding them, which would raise more money for repair and replacement projects.
Texas has several major toll roads near Houston, Austin and Dallas. See above for how much it currently cost to travel on those roads.
