Ellen fever hits Melbourne
Ellen DeGeneres has arrived to screams and cheers at Birrarung Marr in Melbourne today.
Television executives used to think Australian audiences were too reserved to make a local talk show work.
That notion was turned on its head today when American comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres appeared in Melbourne, receiving a rock star welcome from thousands of screaming fans.
"Unbelievable!" DeGeneres shouted to the crowd at Birrarung Marr. "I love you all so much! You have no idea."
Not only had the Melbourne turnout exceeded that in Sydney on the weekend, she said - it was bigger than the crowd at her recent appearance in New York's Central Park.
"I'd like to introduce you to my favourite Australian: my wife, Portia de Rossi," DeGeneres said, bringing her Australian-born spouse on stage.
Born Amanda Rogers in Horsham in 1973, de Rossi spent her childhood in the Geelong suburb of Grovedale and her late teens in Mont Albert. In 2008, she wed DeGeneres in the United States.
Yesterday, the couple visited de Rossi's former school, Melbourne Girls Grammar, after flying in from Sydney on the "Ellen Express", chartered by Qantas.
DeGeneres was also accompanied by her mother, Betty, who drew a huge cheer from the crowd.
After judging a male underwear model competition, DeGeneres brought a young Melbourne schoolgirl, Georgia, on stage. The star-struck girl sang for the audience, prompting her idol to invite her to America to perform for viewers back home.
DeGeneres was then joined by local singer Jessica Mauboy, a former contestant on Australian Idol.
Next up was a viewer named Daniel, who'd been diagnosed with leukaemia. He was told he'd die two years ago but is still going strong. DeGeneres surprised him - and his family - with a $10,000 cheque.
The highlight for most, however, was the question and answer session with the audience. What would she do if she weren't a talk show host, one woman wanted to know.
"I'd do something with animals," said the vegan an animal rights activist. "Something to help the environment."
Who is her inspiration?
"Portia de Rossi," she replied, prompting another huge cheer. "She is the kindest, most compassionate, most beautiful and brilliant human being in my life. She makes me happier than I've ever been."
Her favourite comedians? "Steve Martin and Rebel Wilson."
Her favourite thing about Melbourne? "The people."
And what does she say to the guests on her show during the commercial breaks?
"I don't let them talk to me," she deadpanned. "I just make them sit quietly."
Unfortunately, thousands were denied entry to Birrarung Marr after the hilltop park filled up. Not wanting to disappoint them, DeGeneres told the crowd she would head down and greet those who'd been queuing for hours - many of whom she'd seen from her hotel room early this morning.
Among those who scored a coveted front row position were two women who describe themselves as DeGeneres' biggest fans. They camped out all night to ensure a front row spot - yet refused to give their real names.
"My boss thinks I have the flu," said one woman. Her clothes and body were covered in graffiti, having heeded DeGeneres' callout on Twitter to "spray paint an outfit". "I'll get fired if she sees me on TV. I hope my disguise is good enough."
She was not the only one to be struck down with "Ellen fever". By 9am, thousands were lining up from Federation Square to Birrarung Marr, along the Yarra.
Police and security were kept busy shooing away those who tried to circumvent the queue by climbing up an embankment from Batman Avenue.
One desperate fan dived into a bush when police spotted him, prompting one constable to shout: "There's no point hiding; I can see your pink t-shirt."
Dean Norbiato, a spokesman for Swisse, which is sponsoring DeGeneres' visit to Australia, said: "Melbourne has already smashed Sydney out of the water.
"We've already beaten their crowd attendance numbers. There were around 200 people camped up here last night."
Sarah Rashou, 15, was one of the first to arrive today, skipping school to see her idol.
"I just said, 'Mum, I'm going to see Ellen today'," Rashou said. "She knows how much I love her so she let me come."
Rashou's friend, 14-year-old Shamiran Philip: "I love how she interviews her celebrity guests [on The Ellen DeGeneres Show]'. I reckon she's actually friends with all of them. You can just tell."
Felicity Jones, 27, admires DeGeneres' support of gay marriage. "It's a shame her marriage isn't recognised in Australia but I hope that will change," she said.
Norbiato suspects the Victorian connection has contributed to the huge turnout today. DeGeneres had been promoting the event heavily on Twitter.
Yesterday, she wrote: "Are ya ready Melbourne? I can't hear you! I can't hear you! Probably because this is the internet."

(Windsor, Ontario, Canada) January 23, 2009 - What precludes a novice musician who can bang out three or four chords on an acoustic guitar from becoming the next musical phenomenon? How can iconic artists the likes of Dylan, Young and Springsteen captivate an audience without overdone stage props and pyrotechnical wizardry? Anyone who has aspired to pursue a career in the finicky business of music has probably asked themselves questions similar to these at some point in their journey. Though there may have been a handful of acts that seemed to have caught unsuspecting audiences off guard and attracted them to something other than their music, true talent and longevity boils down to two things, "a voice" and "a song". Though easy to assume it is quite difficult to fully understand this most basic of facts. It is an art in itself to develop a unique voice and equally as difficult to craft a well-structured song which is both lyrically and tonally appealing to masses of people. Therefore, let us not overlook the term "art" when referring to an accomplished musical artist.
Seeing "Jewel" Kilcher (Yes, Jewel is her given birth name) perform solo acoustically confirmed these thoughts even further. Inside the Colosseum at Caesars Windsor Casino, a 5,000 soft-seater venue, she skilfully captivated fans for a remarkable two hours. Armed with only two guitars (one in standard tuning and the other open tuning), a microphone and many personal stories and anecdotes, Jewel offered up the ingredients which have carried her successfully through her 13 year career in the music industry.
Though a modest guitarist, it was her distinctive voice and creative song writing which allowed her and few others before her to pull off such an event. Beginning the evening with the beautiful a cappella version of "Over the Rainbow", those unfamiliar with Jewel's material were quickly aware of the incredible vocal timbre and control of this Alaskan-born beauty. Now 33, she began performing early on in life alongside her father Atz Kilcher, forming a duo and singing at Veterans clubs, bank openings, biker bars and honky-tonks all over the state.
Jewel unmistakably confirmed her capabilities with a delicately pure yet occasionally raspy vocal tone. Her show mirrored the many lessons taught by her father to never create a set list, but to read a crowd instead. Joking and laughing with her audience was also a lesson from her former mentor as she endearingly referred to him throughout the evening.
With her strength in song writing well in tact, staple hits "Standing Still", "Hands" and "I Was Meant For You" gave way to newer music like "The Shape of You", a beautifully written sentimental ballad about losing someone close.
The intimate setting and modest instrumentation generated the feeling of being in a small club listening to a very personal performance. With the cleverly woven storytelling throughout the night to set up the creation and meaning of most songs, fans couldn't help but focus more on the lyrical content to clearly understand their significance.
Jewel's style of song writing is that of storytelling. Quirky yet symbolic of this approach was the odd hit "Race Car Driver" which was conceived through an early hitchhiking experience where she was picked up by a man who had a fascination for fast cars. Mega-hits "Foolish Games" as well as show finale "Who Will Save Your Soul" came supplied with a set up from her life raised in poverty.
Coincidentally, across the river from Caesars Windsor is Detroit, Michigan, where Jewel performed for the first time solo at age 15 without her father at a local high school. Here she raised the remaining money needed to subsidise her partial scholarship after being accepted to Interlochen, a fine arts school in Michigan.
Apart from her playful demeanour in between songs, another comical highlight was a quick reference she made to her binder of music which was left on top a small table helping to set the mood. This apparently necessary after taking a request from a fan to perform an obscure song which she forgot the lyrics to. However her experience in clubs, allowed her clever wit to offset an otherwise awkward moment. Also, accepting questions in an informal forum, Jewel allowed fans to enquire into her personal life. This later accompanied by an invitation to a fan for an impressive impromptu yodelling lesson.
A true American singer, songwriter, actress, poet, painter and humanitarian, Jewel finds herself now delving into the country music genre with the 2008 release of her seventh studio album "Perfectly Clear". As touring remains part of Jewel's core within her demanding schedule, she continues to be grateful to the industry and to her fans and seems never to be "Standing Still".

'Quartet' review: Hopeful notes on aging
Drama. Starring Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Pauline Collins and Billy Connolly. Directed by Dustin Hoffman. (PG-13. 98 minutes.)
"Quartet" is the second of two movies to debut this month dealing with the subject of old age. "Amour" told the story of a woman in her mid-80s, experiencing a complete and permanent physical collapse. "Quartet" is about people about 10 years younger, who still feel pretty good, and want to be useful, but who can see the end in the near distance. Both films assert that older people are pretty much the same as younger people, except for failing bodies and different circumstances.
This sentiment is something we're going to hear more and more from movies, as Boomers and near Boomers age and start looking into the abyss: I am me. I look a little different, but I'm the same as I ever was. "Quartet" - directed by Dustin Hoffman and adapted by Ronald Harwood from his play - is a reminder from septuagenarian artists that turning 70 doesn't make anybody dumber or wiser. Most importantly, it doesn't make anybody less interesting.
Serious musicians
The setting is fascinating, a retirement home for old musicians, but serious musicians, not some guy who once played the tuba in a parade, but people who were in major orchestras or who sang opera at La Scala and Covent Garden - people who know what it's like to stand center stage and feel the cascade of applause. And now the applause has stopped. Careers of glamour and travel, with romantic flings fueled by room-service Champagne, are over. What is it like to be so full of talent that no one is interested in, and to have amazing stories that nobody really wants to hear?
Hoffman, in his directorial debut, has crafted a hopeful movie with a warm atmosphere, but one that's realistic, too. There's a melancholy undertone, an unshakable awareness of death, not in the room, but down the hall and much too close. And the acting is glorious, which also has something to do with Hoffman, though he certainly made his life easier by casting wonderful actors.
"Quartet" is buoyed by the Scottish charm of Billy Connolly, as a lovable flirt and extrovert - he is a delight and also a locus of truth in every scene he's in. Yet when the movie is over, the performance that will keep returning to mind may be that of Tom Courtenay, who plays a character of reserved disposition but enormous passion, someone whose intense loves and rages are mostly covered over with a gentle dignity. What can be said about the appeal of this character he plays? He just seems like a uniquely decent person.
Special quality
The precipitating event in "Quartet" is the arrival on the premises of a legendary diva, played by Maggie Smith - at this point my fingers are itching to type "the great Maggie Smith," as though that were her full name. Smith has a special quality that no other actress possesses, an ability to suggest both clear-eyed perception and utter cluelessness simultaneously. It's an ideal note for a diva who knows the world and knows her own heart, and yet can be tin-eared in her dealings with people.
Wilf (Connolly), Reggie (Courtenay) and Jean (Smith) once appeared together in a now classic production of "Rigoletto," along with Cissy (Pauline Collins), who also lives at the retirement home. Most of the film concerns the attempt to reunite the four singers for a charity event, an effort complicated by past history: Reggie and Jean were once married and broke up years before under bitter circumstances.
As Cissy, Collins plays a woman of childlike enthusiasm and gentleness, who is in the early stages of dementia. Most of the time, she is mostly there, but sometimes less so. But one gets the sense that, with a little patience and a lot of love from her friends, Cissy's condition might stay in a holding pattern. In any case, Cissy's situation is treated as just another part of the old age terrain. Friends notice her problems, but no one is particularly fazed or distressed.
That kind of detail marks this as the work of a screenwriter who knows the 70s experience through direct contact. Ronald Harwood - who has written lots of quality projects in recent years, including "Being Julia," "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" and "The Pianist" - is 78. So he's familiar with the battle conditions.

Miniature peanut butter cups nestled in chocolate chip cookies would rock any bake sale. Susan Callahan, owner and head baker of Goodies, offers up her easy recipe that starts with a classic Toll House cookie. After a brief trip in the oven, peanut butter cups are pressed into the cookies. Another 5-7 minutes in the oven and these treats are done. Susan recommends cooling them for 30 minutes before serving but we'd risk a bit of a burned tongue to get at these quickly!

Lucas Malvacini, aka Mr. Brazil 2011 — Hunk of the Day
Beautiful people frequently hail from Brazil. Gisele. Alessandra Ambrosio. Adriana Lima. The models the country exports are stunners of the highest order. And then there is Mr. Brazil 2011, who is the male equivalent of the aforementioned beauties.
There is no shortage of shirtless shots of the onetime Mr. Brazil, Lucas Malvacini, on the Interwebs.
From his Twitter and his Instagram account to random Tumblrs, the hardbodied hottie and model shows off his shape. He seems to be more comfortable in his skivvies then in clothes and for that we are thankful.
Here's a sampling of some of the best shots from his posed modeling portfolio and his candid (if a little fuzzy) Instagram account. Is the heat on in here? Did someone turn it up? Is the mercury rising? We're sweating...profusely.
Did we mention he really knows how to fill out a pair of underwear? Yeah he does...

[3]Modernised Airspace Structures[/3]
6 Incentivise the Release of Underused CAS
The charging structure for terminal airspace at airports is based on the number of controllers employed rather than on the volume of CAS allocated. This tends to incentivise ANSPs to maintain as much CAS as possible to run their operation with the minimum of staff. There is no incentive to give up any CAS and this needs to be corrected by a change to a system whereby the volume of airspace managed is directly proportional to charges for its use.

A number of coils are available with different 'Ohms' ratings, which is much simpler than it sounds. Ohms refers to the electrical resistance of your coil, and affects how it 'feels' to vape. A lower resistance coil will feel much more 'open' and airy when you inhale, but will pull more power from the battery to vapourise more liquid to produce more vapour. A higher resistance coil will feel 'tighter' and use less power and liquid but also produce less vapour.
It's also possible to build your own vape coils for use with compatible tanks to help create your perfect vape, so be sure to check out our Coil Building section for wire, cotton and other building essentials.

Dear Sharrows,
I am a DC bike commuter and I feel a great kinship to other bike commuters. Certainly, they feel great solidarity with me because, after all, we're all on bikes and that must mean that we're all awesome people. Anyway, I'm writing to get some support in my firmly held belief that it is not important that I act in a polite manner when interacting with my fellow cyclists. It's weird because sometimes I do things like cut them off or pass on the right or pull in front of them at stop signs or pass too closely and they act all upset. What's their deal? We're all on bikes. Why can't they just be cool???
Hugs and kisses,I'd be lying if I told you that I didn't get totally real letters like this from totally real people all the time. That said, veracity aside, sometimes I get the impression from fellow cyclists that they care little about their comportment as it relates to everyone else on bikes. And I guess that's unsurprising because I don't think that drivers always care about obliging their fellow drivers and pedestrians aren't always looking for ways to best manage their interactions with other pedestrians, so why should people on bikes be any different when it comes to interacting with their fellow cyclists? After all, people are people no matter how they get around and some subset of those people are going to act in antisocial and impolite ways and I'd be deluding myself into thinking otherwise. But that also means that there's another group of people who, perhaps if they gave it a little thought, might want to act in a way that's cognizant of their fellows or at least in a way that might be perceived as such. So, assuming that those people are, in fact, out there and not chimerical fantasies of my own imagination, I offer some unsolicited advice on behaviors that other cyclists might find polite.
A totally real person
[Now, please do keep in mind that this is not a definitive list and also that the "comedy of manners" is popular genre for a reason- mores vary and misunderstandings happen. Even if you adopt all of these behaviors and even if you attempt to ride your bike as politely as possible, sometimes you will piss a fellow cyclist off for some reason. It just happens. This is the nature of human interaction. It's ok. It's nothing getting too worked up over, though it is frustrating when it occurs. "But I was trying to do a good thing! Why are you mad!?" is an exasperating phrase in an interior monologue, but you have to accept it as an aberration and just let it go. Unless it keeps happening. Then you should probably question my advice, your implementation of it, or both. Caveat emptor and all that.]
On Passing
Sometimes people are bikes want to travel at different speeds. Crazy, right? That means that one cyclist might want to pass a cyclist who to that point had been in front. A few things:
Call out your pass. you know, let that person know that you're going to pass them. Ring a bell, say something, I don't know- use your judgment. It's helpful. There are times that I won't call out a pass, but it's normally if I'm really going out of the way to give a lot of room or if I think that alerting the person to the pass will somehow complicate things. Generally though, just say or do something.
Pass on the left. For the love of Zeus, please only ever pass on the left (in America and other left-hand side type places. Do the opposite in opposite places). Our whole transportation system is sort of organized around the idea that faster things go on the left side. Left lane on the highway is the "fast lane." You walk on the left of the escalator, stand on the right. With most bike lanes, the travel lane is to the left and that's where the (maybe) faster cars are. I try not to indulge myself in to many "bad" behaviors, but if you try to pass me on the right, I will try to run you into the back of a parked car. I know it's wrong, but I feel quite strongly about this and I'm willing to risk ire to make my point. Not nice, I know. Just pass on the left, ok?
Pass with enough room. If drivers are expected to give three feet, you can too. A standard bike lane isn't wide enough to accommodate a pass, so if you insist on passing someone in the bike lane, get yourself out into the travel lane, pass them and get back in. It's pretty uncomfortable to be passed super-close by a bicyclist and while not as dangerous as being passed super-close by a driver, it's still not fun. The "passer" is the one doing the passing, so the passer has the obligation to abandon the bike lane to pass. If that prospective passer wants to stay in the bike lane (or can't get out because the travel lane is blocked by car taffic), then tough luck. The "passee" is under no obligation whatsoever to get out of the way. The "passer" needs to "get over it."
Pass only while moving. To shoal, such as it's come to be defined, is when someone pulls in front of a cyclist already present at a stop. It violates all principles of "first-come, first-serve" and all sorts of queue codes recognized the world over. You wouldn't step in front of someone at the coffee shop because you think they're going to order a fancy latte thing that's gonna take forever to make and you're just ordering a drip coffee. You wouldn't cut to the front of the bank line because you're just making a $20 withdrawal and the person in front of you is doing some complicated transaction with deposit slips and checking accounts and money orders. So, why, upon seeing a cyclist or a bunch of cyclists, would you think "lemme just get to the front of this line. I'm probably faster anyway." Two thoughts on that last bit:
1. There's a distinct possibility that you are not faster than the person you just pulled in front of. That person will become extraordinarily annoyed upon finding this out. That person will then probably pass you. And then, at the next light, when you do it again, that person might lose their shit.
2. If you're so convinced that you're faster, then it'll be no bother for you to prove that when everyone gets moving again. It won't be such a big deal to wait.
In general, the guiding principle at all stops should be to defer to the cyclist in front of you. It's not that hard.
On other things
Some other things to think about:
Yield. There are a lot of right-angle intersections on my commute where there are stop signs on one street, but not stop signs on the other street. I've noticed a lot of times lately that rather than deferring to the rider who's on the no stop sign street, a cyclist will just make the turn and cut off the person riding on the perpendicular street. That's not really cool. I don't care too much about your coming to a complete stop, but it's generally better to not cut people off by making a turn in front of them when you could slightly slow down, let them pass, and then turn after they pass. Likewise, if you've decided that you're going to roll through a stop sign or a red light, please don't make a cyclist coming through that intersection have to slow down or swerve to avoid you. If someone has to do that, then you shouldn't have rolled through the light. Poor judgment on your part.
Take turns. Take turns at four-way intersections. Crossing someone's path because you didn't feel like slowing down isn't a very nice thing to do. You wouldn't like it if it happened to you.
Give enough space. You should certainly pass with enough space, but you should also just generally give enough space to your fellow cyclists. You don't need to ride super-close behind them. When stopped, you don't really need to sidle alongside of them. You certainly don't need to blow on the back of their necks because that's hella creepy.
Don't judge. Oh, you don't like that someone isn't wearing a helmet? Ok. You're not crazy about the fact that someone flipped off a driver? Great. Think someone's bike isn't great for some reason or should or shouldn't have a component? Neat. It's fine that you have opinions. But please don't share them. Why would anyone care what some stranger has to say just because he also happens to be on a bike nearby? I certainly wouldn't. I think that conversation is fine and that some people are more ok with it than I am (I'm not a really chatty person), but you should probably try to catch the hint if someone doesn't want to talk with you.
Don't condescend. Somewhat related to judging, some things to never do include saying things like "good effort- this is tough one" to someone you don't know as you pass them climbing up a hill. If that person tells you to fuck off, you should count your blessings that they only did that. It's nice to say hello or nod. But there's a line past which you're no longer being nice and instead acting like a condescending ass. Looking over your shoulder to see how much distance you've just put between yourself and a fellow cyclist- why? Is it a race? "You're pretty fast for a ________" is a thing that you should only say if you're willing to risk getting the shit beaten out of you. I mean, really. Come on. Treating other cyclists, through word or unspoken actions, are if you are somehow superior to them is just a terrible idea. Disdain is unbecoming.
There you go. Some ideas about how to be polite to other cyclists. Obviously, you are also allowed to be polite to non-cyclists. In fact, I encourage it! Politesse is great. It's a good personal habit and it's an important civic virtue. Like anything else, you can't really control the actions of others. I mean, if you had magical powers or a mind-control machine, you could. You probably don't have those things. But you can control your own actions. Hopefully. In that spirit, I recommend trying to be nice to people are trying to think about empathy and maybe even trying to abide by some of the ideas above. Feel free to add some more ideas about etiquette in the comments.

SNOW HILL – The Route 50 bridge could be closed for drawbridge repairs for five weeks this winter, forcing resort traffic north and engendering worry over emergency service access.
The bridge will be closed from Jan. 15, 2008, until Feb. 19, 2008 if the money for the repairs is available.
The Jan. 15 closure of the bridge, the only connection between Ocean City and West Ocean City, is not yet set in stone, with the cost of the project still to be determined. If this year's funding is not adequate, some repairs will be undertaken and the remaining pursued in winter 2009. The repairs are not structural.
During repairs to the Route 50 drawbridge, traffic, inbound and outbound, will be diverted to the Route 90 bridge.
The lack of bridge access at Route 50 brings up great concerns over emergency services in West Ocean City, services normally supplied by Ocean City fire and ambulance companies.
"The issue for the county is how we'll handle fire and ambulance service during that time frame," Worcester County Chief Administrator Gerry Mason said Tuesday.
Commissioner Bud Church, who represents West Ocean City, said a lapse in emergency services is unacceptable.
"The concern I have for folks in West Ocean City is if we have a fire or heart attack," said Church. "We need to work with city officials to make sure we have 24-hour coverage."
Commissioner Louise Gulyas pointed out another problem.
"Most of the firemen live in West Ocean City so if there is a huge fire let's hope they can get into Ocean City to put it out," Gulyas said.
Ocean City Emergency Services Director assured the commissioners, "There'll be no loss of service."
Ocean City already plans to station emergency personnel and equipment at the Keyser Point Rd. substation.
"We are in the preliminary planning stages," Theobald said. "We will assign personnel to station 5 because Ocean City provides the medical coverage to West Ocean City."
The addition of personnel to that station will not diminish Ocean City emergency coverage, said Theobald.
"Whatever plan we put in place in West Ocean City would be on top of minimum staffing [requirements] in Ocean City," he said. "It'll be a coordinated effort between the volunteers fire company and EMS division."
The bridge closure will also affect local business people. The inconvenience to commuters and visitors could seriously reduce commerce at businesses in downtown Ocean City and the West Ocean City Route 50 commercial corridor.
The closure could take place over President's Day and Valentine's Day, traditionally two of the busier winter weekends for the resort area.
The already busy Route 589, the most direct and closest connection between Routes 90 and 50, will also see increased traffic with motorists being diverted to the northern bridge.
The commissioners wondered whether State Highway Administration (SHA) officials had considered, or would contemplate, leaving one lane open each way to accommodate morning and evening traffic. If all traffic is diverted to the Route 90 bridge, Ocean City residents will see much longer commute times.
"The school buses can take so long," said Gulyas.
Commissioner Virgil Shockley, a school bus driver in the Snow Hill area, estimated the travel time. "You're looking at 30 to 40 minutes on those buses," said Shockley.
Gulyas said, "That's going to be a real hardship on parents getting their kids to school."
There will be a bigger problem if the drawbridge goes up and fails, Mason said.
Shockley wondered if the work could be done at night or on weekends. He also suggested that work not begin until 9 a.m.
"I think State Highway is going to do what they want to do, but we can ask," Shockley said.
The drawbridge must be in the upright position for repairs to be made, said Mason, so leaving a lane open or re-opening the bridge for a period each day is not possible.
The decking, sidewalk and beams will be entirely removed at the beginning of the repairs and the bridge will be impassable to vehicles.
The repair work will replace certain gears, beams and the drawbridge and sidewalk decking.
The gears on the southwest side are deteriorated and the gear teeth are not fully engaged. New gears will re-establish full contact and smooth out bridge operation, according to SHA. The beams, known as purlins, are also deteriorated and must be replaced. The decking is rated in fair condition, but must be removed to reach the purlins, requiring replacement of the decking.
The drawbridge will be closed to marine traffic for 45 days, 10 days longer than the closure for vehicular traffic. The marine closure will begin five days before the traffic closure, and extend five days after traffic is once again permitted, and will only apply to vessels requiring the drawbridge raised to navigate. Other boats may pass under the bridge normally.
Motorists will also see some lane closures beginning five days before the Jan. 15 total closure.
According to SHA documents, the agency considered a staged construction approach, which would allow traffic through, but the repairs would have been lower quality and the work would take much longer.
Whether the repairs will be made in 2008 or 2009 is still in question. The repairs have been estimated to cost about $1 million. If the contractor proposes a much higher price, some of the work would be put off until next year and the bridge would not be closed to traffic this winter.

Division races taking shape
Send a link to a friend
[November 26, 2012]
As the NFL heads into December, nearly every division race has an outright favorite. Some
-- Denver, Atlanta, New England, Houston and Baltimore -- are on the verge of clinching playoff spots.
The Broncos, Falcons, Ravens, Texans and Patriots took big steps toward making the postseason with victories this week. Denver in the AFC West and Atlanta in the NFC South both have four-game leads after tight road wins Sunday, while Baltimore went to overtime to secure a three-game margin in the AFC North.
Houston and New England did their work on Thanksgiving Day to grab three-game cushions in the AFC South and East, respectively. San Francisco's victory and a loss by Seattle pushed the 49ers' edge to 2 1/2 games in the NFC West. The New York Giants are up two games in the NFC East and dropped Green Bay to one game behind Chicago in the NFC North. Bears-Packers is the only truly close chase through 11 games.
Denver (8-3) had it much tougher than expected at Kansas City (1-10), but rallied for its sixth straight win as Peyton Manning threw for 285 yards and two touchdowns.
"It's a division opponent; you have to win," Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey said. "You have got to win those games. It is what is going to prepare you for the playoffs."
Manning hit tight end Jacob Tamme late in the first half and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas in the third quarter for scores, and that was more than enough to overcome three field goals by the Chiefs' Ryan Succop as Kansas City lost its eighth straight. Knowshon Moreno added 85 yards rushing in place of Willis McGahee, who went on injured reserve this week with a knee injury.
Jamaal Charles ran for 107 yards for the Chiefs.
The victory, combined with San Diego's 16-13 home loss to Baltimore, put the Broncos in position to win the division next week.
"We have to keep going," Thomas said. "Our goal is to keep winning and get to the big game."
Atlanta (10-1) edged Tampa Bay 24-23 as Matt Ryan threw for 353 yards and overcame two big turnovers by leading another late touchdown drive. Ryan teamed with Julio Jones on an 80-yard TD in the third quarter, but needed Michael Turner's 1-yard TD run with 7:55 left to win.
Connor Barth missed a 56-yard goal for Tampa Bay (6-5) in the closing minutes, and the Bucs' four-game winning streak ended.
"Ten-and-1 is great, but I'll tell you what I've said since the beginning of the season: We're just jockeying for position," tight end Tony Gonzalez said. "We just want to put ourselves in the best position, playing the best football. Right around this time is when you want to start jelling as a team and take it on into the playoffs because that's the most important thing."
Elsewhere Sunday, it was San Francisco 31, New Orleans 21; the Giants 38, Green Bay 10; Chicago 28, Minnesota 10; Indianapolis 20, Buffalo 13; Cincinnati 34, Oakland 10; Cleveland 20, Pittsburgh 14; Miami 24, Seattle 21; St. Louis 31, Arizona 17; and Jacksonville 24, Tennessee 19.
On Thursday, Houston won at Detroit 34-31 in overtime; New England routed the New York Jets 49-19; and Washington beat Dallas 38-31.
Monday night, it is Carolina (2-8) at Philadelphia (3-7).
At San Diego, the Ravens pulled off a fourth-and-29 conversion to stay alive, then Justin Tucker kicked a 38-yard field with 1:07 left in overtime to complete a stunning comeback.
San Diego (4-7) led 13-3 on Nick Novak's 30-yard field goal and seemed headed for its first win against a team with a winning record this season. But Ray Rice caught a short pass from Joe Flacco and weaved through the defense to the San Diego 33 with 1:37 to play. After a review, the ball was moved back to the 34 and the refs measured. The new spot gave the Ravens a first down by the length of the ball.
Six plays later, Tucker kicked a 38-yard field goal to tie the game as regulation expired.
The Ravens (9-2) won their fourth straight and for the eighth time in nine games.
At New Orleans, the San Francisco defense stymied Drew Brees and ended the Saints' three-game winning streak. Ahmad Brooks and Donte Whitner each returned interceptions for touchdowns and the 49ers (8-2-1) sacked Brees five times.
Colin Kaepernick ran for one score that he made look easy and threw for a touchdown in another performance that validated coach Jim Harbaugh's decision to start him ahead of Alex Smith.
Brees finished with 267 yards and three TDs for New Orleans (5-6).
At East Rutherford, N.J., Eli Manning threw for three touchdowns, giving him 200 for his career, a team record, and New York sacked Aaron Rodgers five times.
Coming off their bye, the Giants (7-4) put to rest concerns about a dormant offense and a tired arm for Manning. He connected with rookie Rueben Randle, Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks for scores, and Ahmad Bradshaw had a combined 119 yards, including a 59-yard sprint on a screen pass to begin the onslaught.
Mathias Kiwanuka had two of the sacks as Rodgers never got comfortable. Green Bay (7-4) had its five-game winning streak snapped.
At Tampa, Fla., Matt Ryan threw for 353 yards and overcame two big turnovers by leading another late touchdown drive to end Tampa Bay's four-game winning streak.
Michael Turner's 1-yard TD run put Atlanta ahead for good with 7:55 left. Connor Barth missed a 56-yard goal for Tampa Bay (6-5) in the closing minutes, and Josh Freeman's desperation pass fell incomplete in the end zone with no time remaining.
The win enabled the Falcons (10-1) to keep pace with Houston for the NFL's best record.
At Chicago, Jay Cutler threw for 188 yards and a touchdown after missing a game because of a concussion as Chicago (8-3) ended a two-game losing streak.
[to top of second column]
The Bears grabbed a 25-3 halftime lead thanks to Cutler's pinpoint passing. The defense held Adrian Peterson in check early on, although he finished with 108 yards rushing for Minnesota (6-5).
The win could prove costly. The Bears lost wide receiver Devin Hester (concussion), running back Matt Forte (ankle), cornerback Charles Tillman (ankle) and both starting guards to injuries.
At Kansas City, Mo., Peyton Manning threw for 285 yards and two touchdowns, and Denver (8-3) rallied for its sixth straight win.
Manning hit tight end Jacob Tamme late in the first half and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas in the third quarter, and that was more than enough to overcome three field goals by the Chiefs' Ryan Succop as Kansas City lost its eighth straight game.
Jamaal Charles ran for 107 yards for the Chiefs (1-10), who haven't scored a touchdown since the first quarter against Pittsburgh on Nov. 12, a span of more than 11 quarters and 173 minutes of game time.
At Indianapolis, T.Y. Hilton scored on a 75-yard punt return and caught an 8-yard TD pass from Andrew Luck. He is the first player in franchise history to score by punt return and pass reception in the same game.
Luck was 20 of 37 for 240 yards with a TD and an interception as Indy improved to 7-4.
Buffalo (4-7) ended its red-zone drought with 11:30 left with a 1-yard TD pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Lee Smith. But the Bills moved closer to extending their string of non-playoff seasons to 13.
At Cincinnati, Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes in outdueling Cincinnati's former quarterback, Carson Palmer. BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 129 yards and a touchdown against the NFL's most generous defense. He had runs of 48 and 39 yards
-- the longest of his career -- to set up scores for the Bengals (6-5).
Palmer had a tough time all-around in his return to Cincinnati, going 19 of 34 for 146 yards with four sacks and an interception.
Oakland (3-8) lost its fourth in a row.
A brawl in the fourth quarter resulted in Oakland's Tommy Kelly and Lamarr Houston and Cincinnati's Andrew Whitworth getting ejected.
At Cleveland, the Steelers (6-5) committed eight turnovers and third-string quarterback Charlie Batch struggled as the Browns (3-8) beat Pittsburgh for just the second time in 18 games.
Chris Rainey's fumble with 2:25 left was recovered by Cleveland's Phil Taylor to clinch it.
Batch, starting for Pittsburgh because of injuries to Ben Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich, was picked off three times and the Steelers lost five fumbles, the last on the final play of the game.
Browns rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden sustained a concussion in the final minutes when he banged his head while falling awkwardly after an incompletion. Backup Colt McCoy, who suffered a concussion when the teams met late last season, came in and finished off the win without attempting a pass.
At Miami, Dan Carpenter kicked a 43-yard field goal on the final play, capping a rally by Miami (5-6), which scored 17 points in the last 8:08.
Rookie Ryan Tannehill drove Miami 65 yards in the final 92 seconds to set up the winning kick. He finished 18 for 26 for 253 yards and a score.
Leon Washington returned a kickoff for a touchdown for the eighth time to tie the NFL career record and put Seattle ahead with eight minutes left. Miami answered with an 80-yard drive capped by Tannehill's 29-yard scoring pass to Charles Clay, making it 21-21.
The Seahawks (6-5), who are unbeaten at home this year, lost for the fifth time in six road games.
At Glendale, Ariz., Janoris Jenkins became the first player in Rams history and the first NFL rookie since 1960 to return two interceptions for touchdowns in the same game and St. Louis (4-6-1) handed the Cardinals (4-7) their seventh loss in a row.
Jenkins' returns of 36 and 39 yards emphatically ended the Rams' streak of five straight games without an opponent turnover. Arizona rookie Ryan Lindley was intercepted four times in his first NFL start.
Sam Bradford had a pair of 37-yard touchdown passes to Lance Kendricks and Chris Givens as the Rams snapped a five-game winless streak. Steven Jackson rushed for 139 yards in 24 carries.
At Jacksonville, Chad Henne threw two touchdown passes, sparking the NFL's worst offense for the second consecutive week.
The Jaguars (2-9) snapped a seven-game losing streak and were competitive at home for the first time this season.
Henne, making his first start in more than 13 months, found Cecil Shorts III on a 59-yard touchdown play in the third quarter and hooked up with rookie Justin Blackmon for a 7-yard score in the fourth.
The Titans (4-7) cut the lead to 21-19 on Jake Locker's 6-yard pass to Kenny Britt with 4:52 remaining and had the ball with a chance to take the lead. But Russell Allen tipped Locker's pass over the middle, and Dwight Lowery
-- back on the field after a five-week absence -- had his first interception of the season.

I was reading through the November issue of Men's Health at the gym a few weeks ago and came across an article written by Jeremy Katz, the father of a child recently diagnosed with diabetes. There were parts of this article that really resonated with me, but this sentence caught in my throat.
"The clink of the insulin bottles against my wedding ring was hauntingly familiar: I'd heard my father make the same sound a hundred times." - Jeremy Katz
I immediately thought back to my own childhood, with the sound of the bottle of NPH as she rolled it against her wedding rings. Every morning, she would wake up at 5 am to get ready for work, stopping by my bedroom to test my blood sugar. Even though I was still asleep, the sound of her approaching slippers made my finger automatically stick out from underneath the mountain of blankets. She would then roll the NPH to mix it up in preparation for my morning injection.
Clink ... clack ... clink ... clack.
The glass bottle rolling against her rings in the early hours of my school days. The stale and hollow beep of my old Accu-Chek meter after it had counted for 120 seconds in efforts to offer up a result. The scratchy sounds of the cellophane wrapper on my Nabs crackers, or the shunk of the straw easing into my Capri Sun. The hot fizzing of the urinalysis tablets as they cackled from their glass test tubes on the bathroom counter.
These are the sounds of my childhood with diabetes.
Now, after 21 years and easing ever-faster into a new phase of my own life, there are new sounds that define my diabetes life. The boop beep boop of my insulin pump as it boluses for lunch. The whirring of the pump as it primes itself. The quick thwap of the lancing device as I prick my fingertip. The chalky scrape of glucose tabs rustling against one another in the jar. The gentle click of the beads on my medic alert bracelet.
These sounds have replaced those of my childhood. I wonder what twenty years from now will bring.
Even though I now use Humalog insulin that doesn't need to be mixed, I'll roll the bottle against my rings and make myself feel like a child again.

So why the name "Imperial"? That goes back to the early years of our home, Polk County, Florida. At one time, Polk County boasted more paved roads than anywhere else in the southeast U.S., hence the "Imperial" moniker. It was probably more of a P.R. thing than anything else, but the name has stuck. We are still officially known as "Imperial Polk County," and are proud of our heritage. If you look alongside several of the old roads crossing the county line, you can still see some of the old county line markers that were installed in the 1930's.

A 'CITIZENS assembly' for the North similar to those in Canada and Ireland could help involve people in the democratic process in a devolved Yorkshire, according to a report published today.
An assembly made up of random members of the population is suggested in the People's Powerhouse report in a bid to put people at the heart of the Northern Powerhouse project, launched in 2014 by George Osborne.
Despite the fact that many places in the North are experiencing economic growth, the people who live in and around the growth areas do not necessarily experience the benefits in their everyday lives.Quote from the People's Powerhouse report
The report, launched at an event at the House of Lords hosted by Wakefield-born Lord Victor Adebowale, chief executive of the charity Turning Point, raises concerns that discussions about the North's economy do not focus enough on creating decent jobs and good housing.
It said: "Despite the fact that many places in the North are experiencing economic growth, the people who live in and around the growth areas do not necessarily experience the benefits in their everyday lives."
Launched by Doncaster council chief executive Jo Miller and Tracy Fishwick, the founder of social enterprise Transform Lives Company, the People's Powerhouse was a response to the lack of female speakers at the Northern Powerhouse Conference in Manchester.
Its report is based on the first ever People's Powerhouse event held in Doncaster this July, where some 250 people from diverse backgrounds across the North attended.
As a result, the group's leaders set out five "pillars of change", such as creating "a more inclusive North where our diverse voices and strengths are represented".
They called for civic leaders to work with elected mayors to develop new ideas for greater accountability in combined authority areas. These include the option of establishing citizen's assemblies, local public accounts committees and more public scrutiny events.
The report's authors said they want to see a "reinvigorated devolution process with a clear framework and timetable for future deals, both with those areas that have struck deals already, and those still waiting to get properly started".
According to the report, citizens assemblies have been used in other countries including Canada and Ireland "in an attempt to better involve people in the democratic process".
In Ireland, the Citizens Assembly was established in 2016 and is made up of 99 people, randomly selected from the population.
Earlier this year, think-tank IPPR North set out a proposal for how such an assembly would work in the North, involving the selection of 252 members by drawing lots from the electoral roll. Assembly members would serve for a full year on two assemblies of four days each.
The report said many panellists at the July event spoke about a Northern Powerhouse concept that feels remote from most people's lives and too focused on major transport projects. It called for local leaders to make an explicit pledge to put in place practical ways to engage with a more diverse range of people.
Other recommendations include national and local leaders acknowledging that the success of the Northern Powerhouse rests on more than its cities.
The report concludes: "Collaboration, co-operation, co-production and co-creation are all about building relationships to secure better outcomes and ideas to support the North's future. To this end we are asking government, local and devolved authorities and leaders in the North to support the creation of new and meaningful spaces for dialogue and debate which ensure that the views and ideas of civil society can be used to inform the work of the elected mayors and their cabinets."

LOS ANGELES — Flynn Robinson, who was on the 1971-1972 Lakers team that won Los Angeles its first NBA title, has died at age 72.
The Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/10WWLYd ) reports Robinson died Thursday at an LA hospital from cancer.
The reserve guard was dubbed "Mr. Instant Point" by Lakers announcer Chick Hearn. He averaged nearly 10 points in 16 minutes off the bench during the season.
Robinson averaged 14 points per game during his professional career. He was an All-Star with the Milwaukee Bucks during the 1969-1970 season and during his eight years in the NBA also played for the Cincinnati Royals, Chicago Bulls and Baltimore Bullets.
His final season was 1973-1974, playing for the San Diego Conquistadors of the defunct American Basketball Association.

The Buffalo Bills have dipped into the open market to bolster their offensive line.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that guard Chris Williams is signing a four-year contract worth $13.5 million with $5.5 million in guarantees, according to a source informed of the player's plans. The team later made the signing official.
The former first-round draft pick of the Chicago Bears started all 16 games for the Rams last season but struggled as a run-blocker and pass protector. He graded out poorly as the No. 74 player at his position out of 81 entrants in 2013, per Pro Football Focus.
His value, in theory, is versatility. Williams can operate both inside and as a swing tackle for a Buffalo line that never patched over Andy Levitre's departure for Tennessee last offseason.
It's an underwhelming signing and Williams arguably has been overpaid, but Buffalo believes it can squeeze production out of a player the Rams didn't fight to keep.The "Around The League Podcast" is now available on iTunes! Click here to listen and subscribe.

WR.UP Shaping Effect Low Waist Skinny (£62).
As soon as I put them on and tentatively emerged from the changing room, feeling a little self conscious as they were so tight, my husband's eyes lit up and he practically ran to the checkout counter. When he suggested we actually go and purchase another pair I knew they must be something special... he has never (and I mean ever) suggested I buy any more clothes!
(This is the same style but obviously not my bum.. I wish!)
Although they look more like trousers (with a front zip and pockets) they are completely opaque and very figure hugging so feel more like leggings with their 78% cotton/ 22% elastam mix. The special Freddy cut really does lift and pull you in in all the right places, but for me the best part is just how comfortable these are. Unlike other leggings or skinny jeans the Freddy bottoms have a strip if silicon inside the belt that helps to adhere so they never slip and give you that dreaded 'builder's bum'. As I have round hips most other trousers are cut straight so tend to dig in and give me love handles or gape at the back when I sit down, while the Freddy trousers just move with you! Plus a little extra shaping in the back never hurt anyone!
If this isn't enough motivation to do my squats then I don't know what is...
Have you tried Freddy WR.UP? I am excited to try some of their workout clothes and jeans in future!
