As state officials seek to rework the finances of the Leeville Bridge, the project's next phase to elevate La. 1 is beginning to take shape.
As state officials seek to rework the finances of the Leeville Bridge, the project's next phase to elevate La. 1 is beginning to take shape.
The bridge connects Leeville about 10 miles south of Golden Meadow to Port Fourchon on the Gulf.
Lafourche Parish officials say it is a vital link for trucks carrying supplies and equipment to the port, which generates significant tax revenue for the parish.
Having an elevated bridge to the port is necessary because the old portion of La. 1 is steadily sinking into the surrounding wetlands, according to La. 1 Coalition Director Henri Boulet.
About 10 miles of La. 1 runs from the southern most levee to the Leeville Bridge and has not been elevated.
The next phase for La. 1 will see it raised from inside the levee protection of Golden Meadow to the existing bridge leading to Fourchon.
State officials expect to finalize the design contract in January for the first part of the new phase to begin.
That phase has been divided into three sections that will eventually connect to the existing bridge, Boulet said.
The first segment will split from La. 3235 in Golden Meadow and rise above the levee.
Boulet said the state is building the next three segments starting in Golden Meadow instead of at the existing bridge in Leeville because of the "end on" construction technique used to build the bridge.
This technique sees much of the bridge built from the bridge itself instead of with barges in the surrounding wetlands.
"It is probably cheaper to build it from barges," Boulet said. "We agreed with the environmental groups that we would build it in the most environmentally friendly way we could."
The first segment is about 3,400 feet long and will cost about $45 million, Boulet said.
Boulet said Gov. Bobby Jindal has agreed to include money for the segment in the state's capital outlay bill.
It will be up to local legislators to see that the money is approved over the three-year window organizers are requesting, Boulet said.
Boulet said it will take a year and a half to produce the plans for the segment.
There are two other segments to stretch the bridge to Leeville, which will cost about $275 million, Boulet said.
While design and fundraising for the new segment carries on, state officials are looking to refinance debt tied to the existing bridge, said Sen. Robert Adley, R-Benton, who chairs the board that oversees the bridge tollway.
Adley said state Department of Transportation and Development officials say it is necessary to refinance about $175 million in debt to avoid doubling tolls on the bridge.
Tolls are to be increased 20 percent in January.
A recent state audit pointed out deficiencies in the state's toll-collection system.
But those deficiencies are being corrected, and the bridge is collecting revenue at a rate on par with industry standards, Boulet said.

Geologists have ringside seats for an ocean's birth
A new sea forming in Africa
A rift that opened in Africa after a massive earthquake last September could be the beginning of a new Ocean, scientists say. The crack in the ground appeared along a fault line in the Afar desert in Ethiopia.
The crack is heading for the Red Sea. If it makes it that far, it would carve a new ocean that would separate Eritrea and part of Ethiopia (both of which lie on the Arabian plate) from the rest of the continent, creating a new island.
Satellite data collected since the quake shows that the rift is widening at an unprecedented rate, according to reports. It is sixty kilometres long and by October it was already eight metres wide in some places. These observations are reported in Nature.
The Rift Valley is a very geologically active region, thanks to the separation of the Arabian and Nubian tectonic plates. As the plates slide away from each other, the crust of the Earth is stretched and thinned to the point where cracks appear.
In this case, as the crust fractured, approximately 2.5 cubic kilometres of magma from nearby volcanoes flooded into the rift, forming fresh continental crust. That is enough to cover the area inside the M25 to a depth of about a yard, the BBC reports.
The research team, a collaboration between scientists in the UK and in Ethiopia, used both field measurements and satellite images from the European Space Agency's Envisat spacecraft to build a precise map of the changes. It is the first event of this kind to have occurred since the satellite technology became available.
If the crack does represent the birth of a new ocean (and it may not - it could all just settle down again), it will be about a million years before it is wet enough.
Which should give any local Noahs plenty of time to build their Arks. ®

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- As part of their final semester of coursework in the Penn State Smeal College of Business, master of business administration (MBA) students are currently working on real-world business projects through the Applied Professional Experience Program (APEX).
Through APEX, student teams and their clients collaborate over 14 weeks to tackle business challenges provided by client firms. Students sharpen their professional abilities through experiential learning, and clients benefit from the fresh perspective and analytical skill of a student team with a wide range of talents.
"APEX allows students to pull together all the leadership, communication and functional skills they have acquired throughout the program. Through APEX, our students deliver real value to our project sponsors across a diverse set of projects."
"The business problems our students will encounter in their careers will cut across multiple disciplines and require working effectively with internal teams and external stakeholders," said Doug Thomas, faculty director for the Smeal MBA Program. "APEX allows students to pull together all the leadership, communication and functional skills they have acquired throughout the program. Through APEX, our students deliver real value to our project sponsors across a diverse set of projects."
A total of 17 clients have provided student projects this semester, from small, family-owned businesses to multinational corporations.
"The industries, companies and content involved in the projects vary dramatically," said APEX director David Lenze, "as they reflect the widely ranging interests of our students."
Included here are summaries of just a few of the projects students are working on:
Partnering for Success with Polk Audio: Polk Audio, a leader in home theater audio and a subsidiary of DEI Holdings, has been named the preferred audio partner for the Microsoft Xbox 360 entertainment platform. Students on this project will work with Polk to develop strategies for maximizing the impact of the Microsoft partnership through new, groundbreaking solutions for the entertainment and gaming marketplace.
Sustainability in Sourcing with International Paper: International Paper, a global producer and distributor of paper, packaging and forest products, is looking to build on its extensive history as a leader in environmental sustainability. Students on this project will conduct a benchmarking study to identify best practices relative to supply chain sustainability and develop recommendations for broadening International Paper's sustainability practices across their global supply chain.
Emerging Market Opportunities with Sealed Air: A world leader in food safety and security, facilities hygiene and product protection, Sealed Air is looking for innovative strategies and business-to-business marketing solutions to help grow its business in India. Students on this team will collaborate with students at the Management Development Institute in Gurgaon, India, with which Smeal has an ongoing relationship.
Logistical Supply Network with Team Rubicon: A not-for-profit organization made up of military veterans and first responders, Team Rubicon provides emergency relief services to disaster stricken communities while enabling the transition of veterans into civilian life by making use of their unique skills for a humanitarian cause. Students will design a logistical supply network for medical and operational gear and supplies to enable Team Rubicon's mission.

Stadium is supposed to open 1 yr from now, but the cost of this thing has nearly doubled since initial estimates. $1 billion suddenly is now $1.6 billion. Hell, it might have been $800M actually when the first proposed it with what the hotel tax included.
http://espn.go.com/blog/atlanta-falcons ... ason-games
If new stadium delayed, Falcons have options for 2017 preseason
Jun 23, 2016
Vaughn McClure
ESPN Staff Writer
ATLANTA -- Although Atlanta Falcons executives are confident the new $1.5 billion, 75,000-seat Mercedes-Benz Stadium will open by June 1, 2017, there is a contingency plan if construction delays cut into the NFL's preseason schedule.
Rich McKay, the Falcons president and CEO, has alternate sites in mind in case of an emergency.
"We would have options," McKay said. "You've obviously got the University of Georgia. You've got Georgia Tech. But I wouldn't say that we view this as ... it's not even a consideration of something we've looked into. We're very confident in June 1, so we don't view it as a problem. But we have alternatives."
Georgia's Sanford Stadium seats 92,746 spectators. Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd Stadium seats 55,000 and is in the process of undergoing repairs. Such would appear to make Sanford Stadium in Athens, located 72 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta, a more appealing backup plan, although Georgia Tech is a little over a mile away from the Georgia Dome.
The Dome, which is the Falcons' current 71,250-seat home, won't be an option for the '17 preseason. The last event at the Georgia Dome will take place in March, with the first phase of demolition scheduled for around this time next summer.
"It will not be an option," McKay said of the Georgia Dome. "It will be on its way down."
The Falcons could, of course, play all of their preseason games on the road if the stadium is not ready by next August.
"It's been done," McKay said. "When I was in Tampa opening the stadium there, we played all of our games on the road in the preseason. So, there are many alternatives."
Again, McKay emphasized how he expects Mercedes-Benz Stadium to open by June 1 and, thus, allow the Falcons to play two '17 preseason games at home prior to the eight regular-season games.
Last season, the Falcons' preseason matchups against the Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens had paid attendances of 67,326 and 67,393, respectively.
Stadium delay?

Needs a top handle of some sort and a shade....I do think it is a little late to the party though
Posted 26 February 2013 - 05:10 AM
Dunno John, the EPIC with Dragon is keeping the same form factor isn't it? If so I think there is a good few more years for potential sales. Of course they would have been better off being there right at the beginning and the demand for a housing like this vs say a 5Dmk3 is just not the same, but Nauticam must have factored that in I'd guess. I would have thought for their first video housing that they would have been a little less ambitious, but hey gotta give them credit for balls!
Cheers, Simon
Posted 26 February 2013 - 07:03 AM
It would be nice seeing a proper datasheet for this housing.
I got those pics & price from a Nauticam dealer who told that housing is already on catalogue. Actually I did not see any news on Nauticam or Nauticam USA website. We'll have to wait for NAB where we will see the GH3 too
Posted 26 February 2013 - 09:46 AM
Not to brag, but we saw it at DEMA. There are no actual specs, but a fair bit of information in our show report:
I spoke to Ryan Canon about it at that time, and he expressed the feeling that the learning process that Nauticam went through to design and produce the housing will be applicable to other cameras and housing solutions in future.
Given that most of the RED housings in use are actually hire units, I don't think that many companies are finding them to be a profit center
Posted 26 February 2013 - 04:49 PM

Yep Dragon will be the same form factor as far as we know, but they have said that Scarlets cannot be upgraded but they will offer a trade in but even with that it will be probably be a 20k upgrade so not pocket change, plus you will need more and bigger media so really you would be looking at 25K plus. but who know what will happen, I would be pretty keen for Dragon though, I have been shooting with an Epic recently as well as my Scarlet and I love shooting higher frame rate stuff. I definitely applaud Nauticam for there housing I'm sure it will be awesome as their other products are, but maybe going for the Sony F5 and F55 may have been an idea. Do Nauticam offer a glass dome, from memory they only offer acrylic ones which would be a bummer.
Posted 28 February 2013 - 02:25 PM
Posted 01 March 2013 - 01:55 AM
but maybe going for the Sony F5 and F55 may have been an idea.
Yeah I agree a housing for the new Sony cameras would have really made the other manufacturers sit up and take notice.
Wow that's a lot bigger housing than I'd imagined from the press release photo - or is it just a very small lady holding it??
Posted 01 March 2013 - 02:00 AM
Do Nauticam offer a glass dome, from memory they only offer acrylic ones which would be a bummer.
Do you find for 4k that Glass vs Acrylic is even more apparent in quality or a similar trade off to that for HD? I've always tended to opt for acrylic becuase of their in field repair options.
Edited by SimonSpear, 01 March 2013 - 02:00 AM.
Posted 01 March 2013 - 02:30 AM
This is the only glass dome they offer:
other ports/dome are all acrylic.
On the photo posted above it seems the 9" glass dome.
Edited by Davide DB, 01 March 2013 - 02:38 AM.
Posted 01 March 2013 - 05:19 PM
I think they do have a glass dome actually,
Simon, my preference is just due to durability, acrylic is super sharp when new but I have always found even with great care you get small scratches, and yes they can be polished but I have never felt that they are the same again. It actually looks about the same size as my Deep epic minus the monitor.

DSLR uses the body chassis to wick away heat. They don't heat up so much. Processing 4K or 5K and 24 FPS or higher generates stupifyiing amount of data and needs tremendous processing power. End result is huge amount of waste heat.
Large volume is mainly for air circulation IMHO. The Red Epic or Scarlet has a fan built in and its on all the time except when recording. The camera gets hot. Also the housing can get hot very quickly above water. Underwater it is not an issue. The extra volume also gives it brilliant stability. In my experience you rarely only just turn on the camera in the water as you could miss a critical shot when waiting for the animal to appear for example for big whales or sharks. So everything is prep and ready to shoot. I shoot for some commercial projects and 80% of the time its just above the water. Or waiting for the crew and talent to get ready. In those situations over-heating is a real issue.
Unless the housing is made of better material for heat sink than aluminium then it run the risk of cooking the camera ASICs and also causing thermal stress to the sensor. A bit more space for air circulation certainly reduce this risk. There is a housing made by an Aussie guy (Pawel) and that is made entirely of Titanium. Very light in weight. That housing is small in girth but length wise it is about the same as the others. It gets away with less volume by bolting the housing directly to the Epic brain like a camera mount. So heat is conducted directly to the housing. It is also limited to Nikonos lenses. It strips away many of the control features as well so no redmode or side handle. Really simple roll button and two presets. There has to be some sacrifices for compactness.
Epic is a modular camera system and the smallest configuration is the brain, system control either the side handle or the redmode. Its a shame the touch monitor control is not good for UW. Add gearing and extender ring for lens control. Adding side SSD and a 95 wh battery pack and a lens then you pretty much require the shape and size as Gates or Nauticam. I think the Amphibico Rouge is around that size.
If these housings could be strip down to smaller parts then certainly easier to pack to smaller pelican cases.
Just my two cents.

I love bigger housings underwater, and to be honest the client pays excess anyway. I really don't think that you own a RED just for a hobby camera, bugger that I love mine but for fun I would much rather travel with a DSLR.
Hey Dave, yep you are right about Pawels housing, heaps smaller and lighter, absolutely beautifully machined but it is only his 3D housing that is titanium Deep X is ali, saying that he would be able to make on in Ti if a client wanted it. I actually saw his 3D housing last week and it is only slightly bigger than my Deep Epic, and lighter too.
Edited by jonny shaw, 02 March 2013 - 04:21 PM.
Posted 03 March 2013 - 12:18 AM
Hi Jon
Yeah Pawel is a clever chap. Love to try out his housing. Definitely looks lighter. I think what is missing in the industry is a lightweight surf housing made of aluminium. May be I will build one. Maybe Pawel will make one. Mill the tube thinner and add a few more controls.
A few weeks ago I had to shoot some UW footage for a commercial. An Indian production and the DP is Vincent Lafloret. Yup. I was virtually crapping myself as the shot is on the water with housing pointing upward at the base of a cliff. I had to improvise and strap a BCD around the Deep Epic housing. No way with fully kitted Epic and Arri Ultra prime and glass dome is this kit going to be light. I could not lift out of the water. Not for holding it for few minutes anyways. That was when I thought there must me a lighter housing solution.
I will give Pawel's workshop a visit one of these days.

I am in exactly the same boat, two recent jobs were basically surf jobs and lugging my Deep epic around was a killer. Pawel's workshop in Tassie is bloody awesome of you are ever in oz give him a bell I'm sure he would be super happy to take you on a tour.

Eye and Ear Awarded Coveted Leapfrog Top Hospital Distinction December 03, 2013 Contact: Mary Leach (617) 573-4170 BOSTON (Dec. 3, 2013) -- The Leapfrog Group named Massachusetts Eye and Ear for the first time to its annual list of Top Hospitals. The announcement came at Leapfrog's Annual Meeting on Dec. 3 in Arlington, Virginia, which gathered key decision-makers from Leapfrog's network of purchaser members, industry partners, health care stakeholders and national collaborators. Safety and quality are top priorities at Mass. Eye and Ear," said John Fernandez, Mass. Eye and Ear President & CEO. "We are pleased to be recognized by Leapfrog for our efforts." "The field of hospitals' considered for this year's elite Leapfrog Top Hospital distinction was more competitive than ever. By achieving the Top Hospital accolade, Mass. Eye and Ear has demonstrated exemplary performance across all areas of quality and patient safety that are analyzed on the Leapfrog Hospital Survey. If my family or friends needed care, I'd be comfortable sending them to Mass. Eye and Ear," said Leah Binder, President & CEO of The Leapfrog Group. Mass. Eye and Ear was selected as a Top Hospital out of a record number of 1,324 hospitals participating in The Leapfrog Group's annual survey. The list includes 22 Top Rural Hospitals, 55 Top Urban Hospitals and 13 Top Children's Hospitals. Hospitals reaching this achievement include academic medical centers, teaching hospitals, children's hospitals, and community hospitals in rural, suburban and urban settings. The selection is based on the results of the Leapfrog Group's annual hospital survey, which measures hospitals' performance on patient safety and quality, focusing on three critical areas of hospital care: how patients fare, resource use, and management structures in place to prevent errors. The results of the survey are posted on a website (http://www.leapfroggroup.org/cp) open to patients and families, the public, employers and other purchasers of health care.

Hi Everyone,
I am very new to Scheme and I am trying to tackle the Cracker Barrel Pegboard Game. I found a website that has some example code, but I cant seem to get it to work. When I try to run it, I get an "Unbound variable: null" error.
The files I am running are located here:
You need both files to run it.
The instructions on how to use it are here: http://www.computingbook.org/ch5-data.pdf, but I can't get it to run. I keep getting the above error.
I am evaluating (solve-pegboard (board- remove-peg (make-board 5) (make-position 1 1)))
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been pounding my head all day, trying to figure this out. Or if you know of any confirmed working code, that would be great too.
Thanks in advance!

RESTful Java with JAX-RS 2.0
by Bill Burke
There is no longer any doubt that the future of programming will be based on loosely coupled services communicating over Web protocols. The Web, itself, works that way and so do most Web applications, and many mobile apps. If cloud continues to take over back-end programming, this trend will only accelerate. Of the ways of handling services, REST has decidedly taken over from old-style services (WSDL, etc.). Consequently, using REST with Java servers will soon become an integral part of enterprise computing. JAX-RS 2.0 is the latest release of the REST services in JavaEE 7. This book, by a JBoss expert, explains REST, how to use JAX-RS to make use of it, how to interact with servers, and (crucially) how to set up a server and API for services consumption by external parties. The book is clear, comprehensive, and informative. I would have expected somewhat more elaborate code examples, although it's possible to make do with those presented. This will probably be the definitive treatment on the topic.
Object-Oriented Programming Languages and Event-Driven Programming
by Dorian P. Yeager
This is a textbook aimed at existing programmers who want to learn OO programming in any one of five languages: Smalltalk, C++, C#, Java, and Python. The vehicle for teaching these languages is event-driven programming. The goal is not intended to teach the same material in all five languages, but rather to provide an omnibus text for an OO class, regardless of teaching language. I'd be impressed with this book if it addressed that task by first presenting the conceptual foundations of OO, without worrying about language. However, that task is not performed.
The greater limitation of this book is that it feels 10 years too late in almost every dimension. For example, the C++ chapter uses MFC as its library old by many standards and superannuated in Windows 8. The Java chapter uses Swing the authors apparently unaware that Oracle has repeatedly explained Swing will no longer be revved and client-side UI is henceforth the province of JavaFX 2.0. As a final confirmation that the book's content hails from the wrong era, the source code and tools come on a CD glued to the back inside cover technique used back before Web-based downloads were widespread. There are surely better ways of getting current knowledge on these topics than paying the $75+ street price for this volume.
Common System and Software Testing Pitfalls
by Donald G. Firesmith
The subtitle for this small volume reveals its true nature: "Descriptions, symptoms, consequences, causes, and recommendations for common testing pitfalls." It's a software-engineering style inventory of pitfalls, presented sequentially, with each entry getting identical treatment: One to two pages consisting of description, potential applicability, characteristic symptoms, potential negative consequences, potential causes, recommendations, and related pitfalls. The content in every section consists exclusively of bullet points. In other words, it's just a catalog with lots of concise descriptions and a few recommendations. It's clearly aimed at academics in the field.
It would have been far, far more useful if it contained an index of symptoms that would cross-reference back to the problems. As it stands, if you don't know what the problem is, you have no way of finding out what this book recommends.

The classic Air Force 1 foam midsole is exaggerated to create a platform. Enlarged outsole teeth are a modern take on the traditional AF-1 design.
Breathable Comfort

Air Force 1 Origins
This once hoops shoe was named after Air Force One—the aircraft that carries the US President. In 1982, it was the first basketball shoe to house Nike Air, revolutionising the game while rapidly gaining traction around the world, from the hardwood, to the tarmac, to the core of hip-hop culture. Today, the Air Force 1 stays true to its roots with soft, springy cushioning, but the Nike Air technology takes a back seat to the shoe's status as an icon.

Oh my God! I bought my 1st pair of Airforce 1 tennies about 3 weeks ago, I wanted the Sage but they were sold out:( When they came, I was instantly in love. I bought size 6 in big kids 7.5 in women's. I normally wear size 8 in regular Nike running shoes.. Then about a week ago, the sage was back in all sizes. I read all the reviews and decided to order the Sage in black, size 7.5. They came, they fit and even though I have narrow feet, I think a getting size 8 in my next pair would work too. SO..... 2 days ago, I ordered these yellow ones, in size 8..... I am patiently waiting for them to arrive. I will update fit. This morning... I ordered the white ones in an 8 as well:) Get them now while you can, they go fast! Very stylish and the platform gives you the added height. These shoes are great . Very comfortable soles and so easy to walk in!
Great everyday sneakers!
zm635682875 - Apr 16, 2019
Buy these sneakers before they're gone! I contemplated getting these in white for a long while and I finally caved. I couldn't decide between these or the classic air force 1 but I'm really glad I went with the sage low. So comfortable and trendy, you can dress them up or keep it casual. I've received so many compliments. A staple piece honestly. As for sizing, these do run a tiny bit small. I'm a 9 and went with a 9, they're just right but I probably would've been more comfortable in a 9.5 (they were sold out) so definitely size up a half size.
Love the look, not loving the fit
ShannonT888094379 - Apr 16, 2019
I am in love with the look of these shoes! The extra platform really gives me the vibe I'm going for. However, I am a little bummed about the fit. Ordered a 6.5 (the same size as my other AF1s) and they are way too narrow for my feet. I also noticed that these have less cushion than my other AF1s.

In doing so, we only work with family owned boutiques and facilities, we make sure those who are managing and producing our fabric are treated well and the entire manufacturing process, from start to finish, is managed in a highly sustainable manner with little to no waste.
Cuttings and scraps additionally are given to local organizations who develop toys and crafts for disadvantaged youth.
Essentially, we at Nyata believe that ethical fashion does not have to be paradoxical, but a phenomenon that can work in harmony with those who make the clothes and those who wear them.

RIPTON — Like most artists, Jean Cherouny has a routine she follows before putting paint to canvas. She goes downstairs to her makeshift studio, clears her mind of stress and gets out her supplies.
But that's where most similarities end.
While many artists at this point would be taking a brush in hand, Cherouny purposefully snaps on her rollerblades, gently dips them into a glistening pool of paint or ink, and proceeds to glide, hop, and amble across her canvas.
It's an unusual technique to some art purists, but there's no denying that Cherouny's work is getting noticed. Representatives of the South End Arts and Business Association Art Hop in Burlington have asked her to "perform" in skates and exhibit some of her paintings this year. She will, later this month, hold a demonstration at the gazebo on the Middlebury village green.
As an abstract expressionist, the Ripton artist knows her technique will draw some gasps and skepticism. But she doesn't mind at all.
"In the art world, you have to be careful, because there is an immediate judgment — a 10-second reflection — and they either like what you've done or they don't like it," Cherouny, 41, said on Thursday. "But it doesn't matter, as long as I like it."
It actually seems quite natural that Cherouny would combine arts and athletics in her painting.
She developed a keen interest the visual arts when she was 8 years old.
"It was my mom who saw that in me," Cherouny recalled.

BRANDON –– With Vermont still reeling from the killing of 12-year-old Brooke Bennett in Randolph last month, the Brandon Police Department next Tuesday will host a community forum on sex offenders, state statute, and the state Department of Corrections (DOC) sex offender registry.
The Bennett case has sparked a statewide debate over how sex offenders are handled by the DOC, their punishment, their treatment, and most importantly, their supervision.
"The focus of this forum is to give people information on how the sex offender registry works," Brandon Police Chief Chris Brickell said. "There are things people have misconceptions about."
The forum is scheduled for Aug. 12 at 7 p.m. at the Brandon Fire Department.
Brooke Bennett disappeared in Randolph on June 25, triggering Vermont's first Amber Alert. Exactly one week later, on July 2, Bennett's body was discovered in a shallow grave on property owned by her uncle, Michael Jacques, a convicted sex offender and the last person to see the girl alive. He has been charged with kidnapping and other charges may be pending.
Now, Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie and others are calling for a "Jessica's Law" here in Vermont meaning that convicted sex offenders would face a minimum sentence of 25 years in prison. The city of Barre last week passed an ordinance establishing a 1,000-foot buffer zone around local schools and playgrounds where convicted sex offenders new to the city are forbidden to live or spend time.
Brickell said a DOC official will be on hand at the Brandon forum to explain the department's sex offender protocols, the registry and to answer questions.
MIDDLEBURY — The Addison County Transit Resources (ACTR) board on Aug. 29 will decide whether to institute fares on some or all of its bus routes to compensate for rising fuel costs.

Slovak officials have shut down a bid from community members to name a new bridge after actor Chuck Norris.
Fans of "The Expendables 2" star campaigned to push assembly members into naming a newly-constructed pedestrian and cycling bridge, which spans the Morava River and Slovakian border with Austria, near the capital city of Bratislava, after Norris.
Regional chairman Pavol Freso has rejected the plea in favor of honoring the refugees who once died trying to enter the country and flee the communist regime in Eastern Europe.
Freso tells Reuters, "We have unanimously voted for the Freedom Cycling-Bridge. It truly is a place where people were running for freedom through barbed wire, it is a place where many have died, so this is a dignified way to honor these people."

They aren't, really! It's just that they have to perform in a man's world and (here, let me be blunt) go overboard.
This is from an Indian male. We have female managers in India, too. LOL.

Hi,my name is Alberto and I've seen your blog and I've decided to write.
I'm a Spanish travel photographer and I'm planning a long travel to Egypt next month. I've seen some interesting reportages in El Cairo, specially in the City of the Dead (Cemetary) and also about people who live in the unfinisehd roofs of the houses. I'd like to take pictures about those subjects and would need some help from a local person, and Egytian living in El Cairo to tell me some things travel guide don't say: like if it's dangerous, what is the better way not to bother Egyptians or if he, as a person who knows the city, knows a way to plan and prepare the reportage.
If you wouldn't mind helping me, it'd be only answering some questions. If you don't have time I understand.
Thanks for your time.
Alberto Mateo

Hi Alberto,
I say your post on from Cairo with love blog.
I have been living in Cairo myself for almost year and I have some answers for you.
Preparation would be the first thing to do. For filming in the city you would need to ask permisson from the government. Since the goverment doesn't really like to expose poverty to the people outside Egypt, filming poor people in Zabaleen city and people who don;t have a proper house would be a sensitive matter. Maybe you have heard about the rockslide about two weeks ago. This really stirred up anger among the poorest here in Cairo, a lot of questions were asked in the goverment. The rockslide was in an area called Doweiqa, very close to the Garbage City.
Then another thing, people who are Islamic don't really agree to have their picture taken. I love photography myself (I am an amateur though) and I came across many people who didn;'t like/want posing.
Cairo is not too dangerous at all in my opinon (compared to New York, and other cities in South America). There is police everywhere on the street, 24X7. But if you do want to get in the poorer areas I would suggest you take a guide, someone who speaks Arabic, dress modestly and don't show off you camera too much.
An organisation called CSA in Maadi - expat area in Cairo used to organize tours in the City of the Dead and also the recylcling factory. Maybe you could join that, get to know the Arabic guide and maybe he can show you around more another time.
This country is great, the people are warm and I could come up with 100 documentaries, if I had the money to make them.
Anyway hope this helped you out a bit.
Kind regards Margreet

Confused yet? Ben has a stuffed kangaroo named Hoppy that is his absolute favorite critter that he sleeps with every night, travels with us, etc. Besides his blankies as a baby, this is basically his "lovey" and he informed me earlier today that he thinks kangaroos might be his favorite animals, because of Hoppy, but he also really loves elephants, so he isn't sure which he should pick for a pet. (He also told me that when he grows up, he'd like to be a cooker and his special dish will be "pi-gnocchi and sausage", "pi" pronounced like the word pig without the g, say it out loud! ;o) )
Anyhow, whilst going through my cabinets earlier, I found a set of cookie cutters I forgot I had. And, it has a "Hoppy" cookie cutter!
So for dinner, he had a cream cheese and jelly sandwich, made with Santa Cruz Organics seedless raspberry jam and Nature's Own Multigrain Sandwich Rounds (yum, I'm having one myself in a few minutes, the SCO review is posted here). I topped it with an orange cheddar Hoppy, complete with a sugar eye. He had one of his mix & match mini muffins, some veggie chips and mixed fruit kebabs. The kebab sticks were actually drink stirrers from the dollar store. I took really good scissors to the bump at the end and managed to make it into a nice point to string the fruit. I thought they were quite cute!
Needless to say, he was very happy with his cheese Hoppy and is now snuggled in bed with the real Hoppy! :o)

Aww I love Hoppy, he's so cute! Veggie chips are a huge hit in our house too :)ReplyDelete
What an adorable 'roo. I have those same "kebab sticks" at home! I took scissors to the bumpy end as well :-) great moms think alike.ReplyDelete
@Carissa - did you get the palm tree ones too? I swear, I buy things and them try to figure out what to do with them.ReplyDelete

There's no real conclusion here, as such. I rather enjoyed all three of these episodes, and "Gravity" in particular was a very credible stab at dealing with this kind of thing. As much as anything, I guess I'm saying that if you are going to write one of these types of episode, it would be best to be very, very careful about it...

I guess this question goes mainly to the forum admins. Should threads like "[deleted]" or cross-postings be reported? In other words things that an admin is seeing anyway while browsing through the "New" section, or would this just unnecessarly increase the noise ratio for you?
I haven't found a real answer to this in the forum ettiquette (it only says, that spam and oversights by the admins should be reported) and in this forum I only found this thread which is 6 years old.
A small clarification about what to report and what not to report would be appreciated.

Should threads like "[deleted]" or cross-postings be reported?
Absolutely, any behaviour which you feel is disrupting the forums can be reported, the mods/admins will then check to see if further action is required.

If it turns out you're reporting things that don't need to be reporting one of us will contact you about it, so don't worry about that.
Allan-Volunteer on the (topic being discussed) mailn lists. You never get the people who matters attention on the forums.
jasonwryan-Installing Arch is a measure of your literacy. Maintaining Arch is a measure of your diligence. Contributing to Arch is a measure of your competence.
Griemak-Bleeding edge, not bleeding flat. Edge denotes falls will occur from time to time. Bring your own parachute.
If it turns out you're reporting things that don't need to be reporting one of us will contact you about it, so don't worry about that.
Okay, I was just worried that I would cause unnecessary work/noise for you instead of helping. So I'll keep reporting things I'll stumple upon. Thanks again and thanks for all your great work.
That made things clear, thank you.
I should report you for not marking this thread [SOLVED]
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

My last column "New York's Exploding Pension Crises" caught the attention of a family friend living near the City of San Bernardino, in California. He suggested I read a column published in The Economist titled "A Bankrupt City Takes on a Public Pension Behemoth," i.e. the California Public Employees Retirement System (Calpers).
Let's examine the broader implications of their action. To the best of my knowledge, they are the first municipality to file an emergency budget with a bankruptcy court that (if approved) would allow them to delay $13 million in required contributions to the six-largest pension fund in the world — a trend setting plan that has Wall Street and debt holders alarmed that the pension fund might gain priority status in the repayment queue.
Grinding of teeth well past. Mayor Pat Morris indicates while the pension fund is their biggest creditor, his city cannot cut services any further without jeopardizing basic safety. He also mentioned their "particular troubles go back decades, caused by overbearing union agreements, political dysfunction, and financial commitments made during good times that could not be met in bad." In the filing submitted, the city is willing to resume payment "at some future date to be negotiated with the creditor."
Relevance! George J. Marlin, the author of Narcissist Nation and current Nassau County Interim Finance Authority (NIFA) board member writes "the city of Buffalo, once the largest flour mill city in the western world and America's fourth largest manufacturing city, is on the edge of bankruptcy." As of 2008, "it lost 48% of its population since 1960, lost its heavy industry and manufacturing base, and has 35,000 abandoned single-family homes." The once thriving cities of Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Binghamton and Schenectady share similar problems.
Marlin, cites one crushing cause: Big spending governor's dating back to Nelson Rockefeller "circumvented taxpayer oversight and neutered local governments by employing fiscal gimmicks that concealed deficit spending…….while imposing (to date) more mandates than any other state, that consuming (on average) 60 percent of their budgets." To comply with these mandates, local governments are forced to raise billions in taxes.
In a presentation made in the Rockville Centre Public Library, with state and local officials present, I mentioned a need to address the "operational irresponsibility currently evident in Albany that, if not corrected, might lead to a new phase of instability beyond anyone's imagination." Governor Cuomo seems concerned. He was disappointed that a federal court judge ruled against a NIFA imposed wage-freeze that would save Nassau County $110 million.
"I need Nassau's problem contained" he said. "If control boards don't work here, other stressed municipalities will bring a tin cup to Albany or face bankruptcy." Things must be getting serious. I haven't heard the words "tin cup" used for years. And you think you have problems, Mayor Morris.
