Tewksbury voters reject slots casino
Casino developer Penn National will not be coming to Tewksbury, Mass.
Town meeting voters in Tewksbury voted last night 1,568 no to 995 against Penn's proposal to build the Merrimack Valley Casino, a slots-only gambling establishment planned for Ames Pond Drive, near the Andover town line, the Lowell Sun reports. Voters killed the proposal by voting against rezoning the parcel, according to the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune.
Tewksbury's vote – 61 percent against the casino proposal – cuts from four to three the number of current proposals for the state's sole slots-only license. Eric Schippers, senior VP of community affairs for Penn, said the company will seek opportunities elsewhere.
“Our involvement in Tewksbury ended tonight in a very loud and clear decision by the voters,” he said, according to the Eagle-Trib. “We respect that and we’ll be looking for other opportunities for our company.”
The Sun has a roundup of tweets from last night's meeting.

Karnataka: 13 rebel BJP MLAs to join BSY’s party
Bangalore: Former Karnataka chief minister and Lingayat strongman BS Yeddyurappa continues to tear apart the ruling BJP with thirteen of its rebel MLAs, who had resigned from the party, set to take oath for membership of his Karnataka Janata Party (KJP) on Thursday.
The resignations of 12 BJP MLAs was on Wednesday accepted by the State Assembly Speaker KG Bopaiah, who held one back on technical grounds.
The resignations have left the Jagdish Shettar government with a wafer-thin majority in the State Assembly, and if more party MLAs quit, the BJP would have to depend on independents for survival.
The BJP strength now stands at 106, including the Speaker, in the 225-member Assembly. Two seats are vacant.
The party has the support of one of the seven independents, who is also a Cabinet minister. There is one nominated member who belongs to the BJP. The Congress has 71 members, and the Janata Dal-Secular 26.
Both Shettar and state BJP chief KS Eshwarappa have expressed confidence that there is no threat to the BJP government although it has a wafer-thin majority in the House.
The two also appeared confident that the 10-day Budget Session would be held as scheduled, beginning February 4.Talking to reporters, Eshwarappa said the Chief Minister would present the 2013-14 Budget on Feb 8.
Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar yesterday said that no more resignations were expected from the ruling BJP, though speculation continued that several party law makers would soon quit and join the 13 who have already resigned.
The BJP-led Karnataka government has been going through a major crisis since Yeddyurappa resigned and launched his own party in December, 2012. Many of his loyalists in the BJP even attended the convention where the KJP was launched.

Last Friday, protestors in Sydney were addressed by John Shipton, Julian Assange’s father, Socialist Equality Party election candidate Oscar Grenfell, barrister Greg Barns and other speakers. Shipton insisted that the Australian government immediately secure the release of the WikiLeaks publisher, journalist and Australian citizen.
The Sydney demonstration, outside the US embassy in Martin Place and then the nearby Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade building, was held two days after Assange was sentenced in a British court to 50 weeks jail on bogus bail violation charges.
It was organised by the Support Assange and WikiLeaks Coalition, and was one of a number of protests around the world defending Assange on World Press Freedom Day.
John Shipton, Assange’s biological father, told protestors that Ecuador had “sold” his son in exchange for a multi-billion dollar International Monetary Fund loan. Julian was being persecuted, he said, for exposing the “grand narrative of every heinous crime” committed by the US and other countries.
“The consequence of WikiLeaks revealing these crimes, the destruction of Iraq, the destruction of Afghanistan, the destruction of Syria, the destruction of Libya, millions killed, is they want their vindictive revenge,” Shipton said.
Assange’s father described his son’s jailing as “an outrage” and called on the government to intervene and secure his release. “Australia, we [must] work together to bring Julian home to his family, to his children and to give the Australian government the courage to stop assisting this by doing nothing.”
Oscar Grenfell, the Socialist Equality Party’s federal election candidate in Parramatta, said the defence of Assange was a decisive political question for the working class.
What is being prepared, he said, “is an extraordinary rendition operation, with a pseudo-judicial fig-leaf which will set a precedent for the abolition of freedom of the press. This is aimed at sending a clear message to the working class: if you take social and political action that challenges the powers that be, you will face state repression.”
Grenfell said these anti-democratic attacks were made possible because of the complicity of successive Australian governments. “Beginning with the Greens-backed Labor government of Julia Gillard, every Australian government has participated in the US-led vendetta against Assange. They have refused to defend a persecuted journalist and Australian citizen.
“It’s not just the major parties. None of the other parties are raising the defence of Julian as a central issue in this election. By their active support for the attacks against him, or their silent complicity, the parliamentary parties are signalling that they are pro-imperialist organisations, committed to US wars and to the repression of those who expose them. The Australian media has likewise played a shameful role.”
Grenfell said it was necessary to mobilise the international working class which was now entering into major social and political struggles against austerity, war and authoritarianism.
“Assange is rightly viewed by millions of workers and young people as a hero,” Grenfell added. “It’s our task to forge these sentiments into a mass political movement that will compel the Australian government to use all its legal discretion and diplomatic powers to secure Assange’s return to Australia, with a guarantee against extradition to the US.”
Mary Kostakidis, a popular former Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) television news presenter and journalist, told the rally that society “owed a great debt” to people such as Assange, Chelsea Manning and others who are “prepared to risk their freedom and their lives so that important information can be made public.”
Kostakidis noted the escalating government attacks on freedom of the press, journalists and whistleblowers, and praised Assange for establishing WikiLeaks. “Digital technology has democratised the flow of information,” she said, and undermined the ability of the “traditional gatekeepers of information to decide what is appropriate and palatable for the public to see and hear.”
The battle today, she continued, “is for the public’s right to know in a 21st century communications environment. Governments are sending the message that if you publish our secrets, we’ll lock you up for life. You try to protect your sources and we will go after you.”
Kostakidis called on other journalists to defend Assange: “To my colleagues in the mainstream media: Don’t be distracted by inconsequential issues like the perceived personality issue. All this is to detract from the all-important issues at stake here…
“If wrongdoing remains hidden and hidden in perpetuity then it weakens the press and its ability to hold the powerful to account. It sabotages our democracy.”
Lissa Johnson, a Sydney clinical psychologist who has written extensively in defence of Assange, told the rally that the psychology profession owes Assange “a huge debt of gratitude” over WikiLeaks’ publication of the Guantanamo Files in 2011.
This previously secret information, she said, exposed the collaboration of American Psychological Association members with the US army’s torture of prisoners at the notorious prison and at secret CIA sites around the world.
Johnson denounced the mainstream media for its attacks on Assange and for “the trivialising and sanitising of atrocity” and the “waging of psychological war on Julian Assange, with baseless, vicious smears.”
She referenced CIA director Mike Pompeo’s threat in 2017 to “take down” WikiLeaks and pursue with “great vigour” other “small media platforms.” This, Johnson said, was part of Washington’s war against all genuine reporting and free speech.
Others addressing the rally included former Green Senator Scott Ludlum, Greg Barns, Assange’s chief Australian-based lawyer, and Paul Gregoire, a writer for Sydney Criminal Lawyers website.
Ludlum was a Greens Senator during Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s Labor-Greens’ minority government between 2010 and 2013. Gillard falsely claimed WikiLeaks’s activities were “illegal” and endorsed Washington’s persecution of Assange. Ludlum and the Greens refused to break from the de facto coalition over Gillard’s outrageous attack.
Ludlum, who writes occasionally for the Guardian, has said little about Assange in the past two years. The former Greens Senator made some pro-forma comments about Assange’s imprisonment and possible extradition to the US and told protestors it would be a “long struggle.” He made no demands on the Australian government or the Labor Party and did not even mention the Greens.
Greg Barns referred to the mass protests which forced Canberra to secure the release of Australian citizen David Hicks who was subjected to extraordinary rendition by the US and illegally imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay between 2002 and 2007.
“If Assange is extradited from the UK, he will be taken to the United States in the same way that Hicks was, and subjected to torture and cruel and unusual punishment. The Australian government had an obligation to bring David Hicks back to Australia. It has an obligation to bring Julian Assange back to Australia,” Barns said.
“Whoever wins government on May 18, whether it be Morrison or Shorten, this matter will not go away. It needs to be dealt with as an urgent priority…. We will not be silenced.”

Dr. Lewis D. Ferebee began his work with Indianapolis Public Schools as Superintendent in 2013 after serving the previous three years as Chief of Staff for Durham Public Schools. Dr. Ferebee reduced to zero the number of schools in Durham designated by the state as "low performing."
Prior to this, the 22-year education veteran served as Regional Superintendent for Guilford County Schools in North Carolina where he also worked as an instructional improvement officer and school principal.
Indianapolis Public Schools is becoming more agile and more capable of quickly responding to schools' specific needs. Dr. Ferebee employed transformation efforts to drive school turnaround for chronically low-performing schools and raise the district's graduation rate by fifteen percentage points.
Dr. Ferebee earned his doctorate in educational leadership from East Carolina University, a master's degree in school administration from The George Washington University, and a bachelor's degree in elementary education from North Carolina Central University. He currently serves on the Board for Gleaners Food Bank, Ascend Indiana, IUPUI's Board of Advisors, and the College Board Board of Trustees.

The Arab Monetary Fund (AMF) on Monday announced that Buna, the regional cross-border payment system owned by the AMF, is currently in full operation and settling cross-borders payment transactions in multiple currencies.
This milestone comes as an accomplishment of Buna’s success to properly finalise the different key phases of its focused strategy and business plan to create the payment platform of choice across the Arab region and beyond, the AMF said in a press statement.
‘Beginning with the launch of its technical platform back in February 2020 and followed by building and growing its diversified network of participant banks and settlement currencies, this new step marks the completion of the phased go-live approach of Buna,’ AMF said.
Buna first live payment was executed in UAE dirhams between Mashreq Bank in the UAE and BanqueMisr in Egypt. It announced Buna’s entry in full operations and demonstrated Buna’s operational and technical readiness to operate and perform cross-border payments, in compliance with international standards. This success paves the way to continue expanding Buna’s network of participants, which will start with the onboarding in production of all participants that have fulfilled the requirements and signed the participation agreement.
Dr Abdulrahman al Hamidy, director general and chairman of the board of AMF, said, “We are proud and happy to announce that Buna payment system is now fully operating, and capable to perform as a multi-currency platform that process cross-border payments in eligible Arab and international currencies in real-time. The successful first live payment transaction is a strong testament of our commitment to deliver on time and demonstrate Buna’s ability to function within the set requirements and as by the promised high-level standards, despite unprecedented difficult times and global challenging conditions.”
Dr Hamidy added, “This milestone step would not have been possible, without the continuous support of the Arab central banks. We are looking forward to continuing growing our network of participants and currencies. Our focus will always be to offer modern payment solutions, across the Arab region and beyond, within the highest standards of information security and in compliance with international standards.”
Mashreq Bank and BanqueMisr were amongst the early banks in UAE and Egypt that connected to Buna and were the first banks to successfully complete a live transaction.

Song You Need: Coby Sey delivers candour from the underground on “Permeated Secrets”
The U.K.-based artist releases his solo debut Conduit later this year.
The FADER’s “Songs You Need” are the tracks we can’t stop playing. Check back every day for new music and follow along on our Spotify playlist.
London's Coby Sey is one of the names you spot in an album credits list that signifies quality. He's mainly worked with friends and peers including Tirzah, Mica Levi, and Klein as well as bringing his production and songwriting skills to the table on releases by Lafawndah, Kelly Lee Owens, and Kwes. His next major project, however, will be debut solo album Conduit, due September 9.
There is a claustrophobic spirit to lead single "Permeated Secrets," with Sey layering his rapped vocals on top of each other in a way that leaves you feeling surrounded. This production technique isn't used to create distance, however, instead pulling you in closer to grasp at the lines Sey punches into his mix of woozy synths and heavily snapped drums. As the atmosphere grows ever tighter he questions what it means to be free and casts his eye across a global landscape colored with uncertainty and suffering. This is music for world in transition, where people are finding their feet after a long period of stasis. "If you want the truth to be heard be prepared to repeat it again," Sey states at one point, as if he knows that everything is to play and nothing comes to those who wait.

There's a new challenge over at AAA Cards and it's a cracker!
I loved the inspiration this gave me. Firstly to make a quick card, and secondly to include dry embossing - something I never do! So now I'm enthused to include more embossing on my cards. And it's a great technique for a CAS card as you keep the white space!
I used a Penny Black die called Bashful. I used Tim Holtz Distress Stains and Markers in Wild Honey, Pickled Raspberry and Forest Moss to colour on watercolour card. I then die cut the flower. The embossing folder is Stampin' Up! and the greeting is Penny Black stamped with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.
Here it is! Hope you like it. It was a 10 min make (took me longer to find the embossing folder!)

You've been cooking up a storm, right? It'll be February before the kitchen is really clean again. The last thing you want to think about is a tart.
Don't think! Act!
Get some dried apricots. That's right: dried. You need 20 or 30. Throw them in 2c water, and leave them overnight in the refrigerator. Then, preheat your oven to 400°F and grab one of those refrigerated pie crusts you can buy at the supermarket. Unroll it on a baking sheet. Having reserved some of the water in which they've been soaking, drain those nice, round little reconstituted apricots (who knew?) and put them in the middle of the crust. Sprinkle with lemon juice, 3T sugar, a little vanilla and cardamon. Or kirsch. Fold up the edges of the tart. Don't be too facile: this is a rustic winter tart, it's supposed to look that way.
Pop in a 400°F oven for 40 minutes. If the fruit looks a little dry, sprinkle some of that reserved apricot water. Service with a small dollop of sour cream.
While googling, I saw a reference to a coulis of salt-roasted apricots. Do you suppose you could do that with dried apricots?
It turns out that you can reconstitute apricots just like mushrooms, to surprisingly good effect. Sally Schneider says that California apricots are more consistent than Turkish; I had Turkish on hand, and three of the apricots did seem soggy. They made a nice afternoon snack.
Update: Fazal Majid writes,
In my parent's hometown of Hyderabad, India, they have a traditional dessert for Eid called "Khubani ka mittha". It's a compote of reconstituted dried apricots, preferrably from Afghanistan, topped with whole almonds and malai, a very thick top cream from buffalo's milk.

A music blog dedicated to metal, rock, electronica and more. I mostly do reviews of underground music as those artists need more promotion. However, I won't hesitate to review mainstream stuff as well. Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. Hope you enjoy it.
P.S. Sorry but NO LINKS and NO SAMPLES. ONLY REVIEWS. I don't want to risk having my blog taken down. Thanks.
If you want melodic black metal then one of the best bands/albums you could listen to is this one. It almost sounds like early Opeth at times. There are very strong melodies and songwriting so if Opeth is your thing then it shouldn't be too hard to like this. 9/10

BOTOX may be an effective treatment for those who suffer from chronic migraines. Many patients have struggled to find a treatment that truly provides relief from this debilitating condition. While there are migraine medications and a host of natural remedies, for many people, none of these methods bring real relief. BOTOX may be the option that brings the relief from pain that patients have been seeking for so long.
In a double-blind study of 123 adults with regular, chronic migraine, the adults receiving botulinum toxin type A experienced fewer migraine attacks each month. In addition, attacks they did experience were less intense, of shorter duration, and required less treatment than adults who did not receive Botox injections for migraine. These injections were also well-tolerated in adults experiencing migraine with and without aura.
Preventative Botox has been getting lots of buzz. “It can potentially have a preventive effect on dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by underlying muscle movement,” Shah explains. “That being said, muscle movement is only one factor that contributes to the development of wrinkles, so Botox may not be completely preventive.” (Some other wrinkle causes: sun exposure, smoking, and diet.)
$12 per unit is the typical rate for botox in North Jersey. I just moved here from Nashville and it is actually the same price there as here, surprisingly. Although in Nashville my Dr ran specials twice a year where she charged $9 a unit so I always made sure to hit up those offers. Her name is Ms. Sue and she is in Hendersonville Tn. Her office is called Ms.Sue's Med Spa. She runs amazing offers on injections if you sign up to get emails. Northern Jersey juverderm is significant different in price when it comes to juvederm and injections. But botox price is the same. I am now using Dysport instead of regular botox and that's about the same price ... The units are cheaper but you need twice as much so it equals out about the same. Dysport kicks in within 3 days and I love that. I would like to find a good doctor up here with better prices. I will post if I find one
Costs to consider: immediate out-of-pocket costs, long-term higher cost of insurance, your time, and the pain of injections. Botox for migraine costs approximately $525 per vial (100 units) and a typical migraine dose is 155 units. Depending on what your doctor charges in addition to the Botox itself, it’ll set you back $1500 – $2300 to test it out. And then there’s the needle pain. Don’t make the mistake of going to get a Botox injection if you’re in the midst of an attack, because it’ll be more painful than ever. Better to reschedule.

The results usually start to be noticed within three to 10 days or even sooner. They tend to last in most people for up to three or four months. As time passes, the muscle activity will gradually return to normal. Additionally, other areas may return to activity over time, depending on the amount injected. The interesting thing about Botox is that it tends to work fairly well even up to the third month, as a procedure that might last a very short time at full strength and then go away quickly (filler injections such as Restylane, Perlane, or Juvederm tend to last approximately six to 12 months, depending on the amount used).
The cosmetic effect of BTX-A on wrinkles was originally documented by a plastic surgeon from Sacramento, California, Richard Clark, and published in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in 1989. Canadian husband and wife ophthalmologist and dermatologist physicians, JD and JA Carruthers, were the first to publish a study on BTX-A for the treatment of glabellar frown lines in 1992. Similar effects had reportedly been observed by a number of independent groups (Brin, and the Columbia University group under Monte Keen.) After formal trials, on April 12, 2002, the FDA announced regulatory approval of botulinum toxin type A (Botox Cosmetic) to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). Subsequently, cosmetic use of botulinum toxin type A has become widespread. The results of Botox Cosmetic can last up to four months and may vary with each patient. The US Food and Drug Administration approved an alternative product-safety testing method in response to increasing public concern that LD50 testing was required for each batch sold in the market.
Since Botox made its first appearance in the med-spa world, a number of similar treatments have also become available. These include Dysport, another Botulinum toxin type A injectable, as well as dermal fillers (which use hyaluronic acid to plump skin) such as Juvéderm, Restylane, and Perlane. The decision to choose between Botox vs Dysport depends largely on the results you're hoping to achieve. For more information, check out the following guides:
Study 4 included 170 patients (87 BOTOX and 83 placebo) with upper limb spasticity who were at least 6 months post-stroke. In Study 4, patients received 20 Units of BOTOX into the adductor pollicis and flexor pollicis longus (total BOTOX dose =40 Units in thumb muscles) or placebo (see Table 30). Study 5 included 109 patients with upper limb spasticity who were at least 6 months post-stroke. In Study 5, patients received 15 Units (low dose) or 20 Units (high dose) of BOTOX into the adductor pollicis and flexor pollicis longus under EMG guidance (total BOTOX low dose =30 Units, total BOTOX high dose =40 Units), or placebo (see Table 30). The duration of follow-up in Study 4 and Study 5 was 12 weeks.

In study 2, 320 adults with bilateral axillary primary hyperhidrosis were randomized to receive either 50 Units of BOTOX (n=2 42) or placebo (n=78). Treatment responders were defined as subjects showing at least a 50% reduction from baseline in axillary sweating measured by gravimetric measurement at 4 weeks. At week 4 post-injection, the percentages of responders were 91% (219/242) in the BOTOX group and 36% (28/78) in the placebo group, p<0.001. The difference in percentage of responders between BOTOX and placebo was 55% (95% CI=43.3, 65.9).
Dr. Matarasso says hardly a week goes by when he doesn’t see a patient with a botched Botox job. Why? People are getting it done by unexperienced, often unlicensed, practitioners who don’t know the shape of the face and how to correctly administer the toxin. “I just had a patient come in the other day who went to an ER doctor, and one that went to a psychiatrist,” he says. “They [also] have these Botox parties and I have seen scarring, significant bruising, not only functional, but aesthetic complications.”
The patient’s neck stability, posture, torsion, and symmetry should be assessed to determine whether he or she may be at increased risk for adverse events prior to the first injection cycle. A patient with preexisting neck pain and/or weakness may be at higher risk for exacerbation of the condition upon injection of the occipitalis, cervical paraspinal, or trapezius muscle groups. Patients with smaller frames may be at higher risk for neck weakness. Indicated injection sites can still be injected with minimal side effects and unwanted outcomes as long as correct injection sites are targeted and treatments are administered using a superficial approach with avoidance of the mid and lower cervical regions. The cervical paraspinal muscle group is made up of multiple muscles including the trapezius, splenius capitis and cervicis, and semispinalis capitus. This group of muscles helps support the neck, including extension of the head.
Botox injections use onaboutlinumtoxin A, also known as the botulinum toxin, injected in small amounts to certain points in the head to treat migraine headaches, tension headaches, and chronic daily headaches. This treatment has been shown to be most effective for headaches that are located in the forehead and neck. Botox has also been used to treat the following conditions:
There have been spontaneous reports of death, sometimes associated with dysphagia, pneumonia, and/or other significant debility or anaphylaxis, after treatment with botulinum toxin. There have also been reports of adverse events involving the cardiovascular system, including arrhythmia and myocardial infarction, some with fatal outcomes. Some of these patients had risk factors including cardiovascular disease. The exact relationship of these events to the botulinum toxin injection has not been established.
They affect 39 million folks in the U.S., 4 million of whom deal with daily pain. Chronic migraines can severely inhibit daily life, and when I started to feel like my bad days were outnumbering my good, I knew I needed to find a solution. Botox had been suggested to me multiple times before by friends, family, and doctors, and though it took quite a while to get it approved by insurance and find a provider I trusted, my migraines were making it hard to live a normal life, so I decided to try it out.
Ratings on RealSelf.com (www.RealSelf.com) show a satisfaction rate of 65% for Botox, which is on par with other treatments such as Restylane, Juvederm, and Perlane and slightly higher than Xeomin and Dysport. Longer-term treatments, such as Ultherapy facial tightening and Liposuction/SmartLipo achieve ratings in the 80% and above area, while others such as CoolSculpting (Zeltiq) achieve ratings in the 70% area. This may reflect upon the short-term nature of all botulinum toxins versus the longer-term nature of these other procedures.
Not a Botox patient? Listen anyway. This is good practice for asking the price for other medical procedures like an MRI or a colonoscopy, where the information can be much harder to get. The common replies you could get: “What’s your insurance?” “We can’t tell you because it depends on your deductible.” “We don’t know.” “You’ll have to call billing.”

In patients with reduced lung function treated for upper limb spasticity, upper respiratory tract infections were also reported more frequently as adverse reactions in patients treated with BOTOX® (11% at 360 Units total dose; 8% at 240 Units total dose) compared to placebo (6%). In adult patients treated for lower limb spasticity, upper respiratory tract infections were reported more frequently as an adverse event in patients treated with BOTOX® (2% at 300 Units to 400 Units total dose), compared to placebo (1%).
In clinical trials, 30.6% of patients (33/108) who were not using clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) prior to injection, required catheterization for urinary retention following treatment with BOTOX® 200 Units as compared to 6.7% of patients (7/104) treated with placebo. The median duration of post-injection catheterization for these patients treated with BOTOX® 200 Units (n = 33) was 289 days (minimum 1 day to maximum 530 days) as compared to a median duration of 358 days (minimum 2 days to maximum 379 days) for patients receiving placebo (n = 7).

Navasota is a city in Grimes County, Texas, United States. The population was 7,049 at the 2010 census. In 2005, the Texas Legislature named the city "The Blues Capital of Texas," in honor of the late Mance Lipscomb, a Navasota native and blues musician.
After September 1859, when the Houston and Texas Central Railway built into the town, Navasota became important as a shipping and marketing center for the surrounding area. Whereas nearby Washington on the Brazos protested the coming of the rails, the old historic town forfeited its geographic advantage, and it began to decline as many of its businesses and residences began a sure migration to the new railhead across the Brazos River at Navasota.
Slaves were a large part of the local economy, as they were imported, traded, and used to work in the many local cotton plantations. Guns were made in nearby Anderson, and cotton, gunpowder, and shoes were made, processed, and stored there for the Southern Confederacy during the American Civil War. By 1865, the population was about 2,700. All during the Civil War, all the marketable goods produced in the region were brought to Navasota, then the furthest inland railhead in Texas, to be shipped south to Galveston, where they could be transported by steamboat from the Texas coast and up the Mississippi River to the war effort, or exported to Mexico or overseas to Europe.
As of 2014, the population was estimated at 7,351. The industrial sector of the community now boasts 23 companies and over 1200 jobs. In 2009, Navasota was selected as a "Visionaries in Preservation" city by the Texas Historical Commission to protect the numerous historical structures in the city. A new municipal building was completed in 2011 and continued downtown improvements are under construction with completion scheduled in 2013.
Also in 2012, Navasota Municipal Airport completed an expansion to 5000 ft long by 75 ft wide, now allowing jets on the runway.
The City of Navasota earned a 2011 Gold Leadership Award from the Texas Comptroller's Office for efforts in transparency. Its application scored 17 of 20 points. The City of Navasota was one of 70 (out of over a thousand) cities in Texas to receive the Gold status. Also, the city received the award in 2013. In 2014, the City of Navasota earned the Platinum Leadership Award, the highest status given by the Texas Comptroller.
In 2012, Navasota was named by Union Pacific Railroad as a Train Town USA.
In August 2013, the City of Navasota was named a Go Texan "Certified Retirement Community" by the Texas Department of Agriculture.
Navasota is served by the weekly Navasota Examiner newspaper, which has been reporting on the goings-on in Grimes County since 1894. The city is also home to the Navasota News 1550 AM, owned and managed by Bryan Broadcasting, which broadcasts the local Navasota Rattlers football games.
Navasota has some shops and artisans in its historic downtown district, typified by antique, gift, and junk stores housed in old classic stone and brick structures, and live plays at the Sunny Furman Theatre. Navasota Blues Alley is in the heart of the downtown district, and offers blues memorabilia, museum exhibits, art, vintage music and radios, and much more. The city also has golfing facilities and parks, as well as wineries.
Navasota retains a number of historic Victorian homes on Washington Avenue, the main residential and commercial thoroughfare through town. Another historic edifice is Brule Field, a natural amphitheater built out of native stone by the Great Depression-era Works Progress Administration. It served as the primary grid for the local high school football team, the Navasota Rattlers, until the new stadium was constructed in 2006. Several native-stone churches also remain near downtown, with distinctive Victorian fronts.
The city is also home to two statues of French explorer Rene-Robert Cavelier Sieur de La Salle, including a bronze monument, dedicated in 1936 by the DAR, to celebrate the explorations of the famous French explorer. The second is a stone bust that was previously in downtown, and was rededicated by the French consulate in May 2012 at the August Horst Park. The bust was donated to the city by the French government in 1978. Supposedly, La Salle was murdered by one of his men somewhere near present-day Navasota, while looking for the Mississippi Valley and the way back to French-held lands near the Great Lakes. After numerous voyages, explorations of the Mississippi valley, trading ventures and several mutinies, La Salle’s bones are believed to have found their resting place in the Navasota Valley.
Seasonally, Navasota is visited in the spring for bluebonnets. The Blues Bluebonnets & BBQ music festival is held in April, celebrating the birthday of Mance Lipscomb. A summer festival, the Navasota Bluesfest, every second weekend in August in the Blues Capital of Texas, honors the memory of blues man Mance Lipscomb, who recorded numerous albums and lived in Navasota all of his life. The celebration raises money for college scholarships for local students. A statue of Mance Lipscomb is now a part of Mance Lipscomb Park, near downtown. A statue of Frank Hamer stands in front of city hall, honoring the time he served as city marshal, connecting to the time Mance Lipscomb was his buggy driver. Local artist and sculptor Russell Cushman designed and built the bronze statue. The nearby Texas Renaissance Festival is held near Plantersville in the fall. Also nearby is Washington on the Brazos state park and the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 6.1 square miles (16 km2), of which 6.1 square miles (16 km2) is land and 0.16% is water.

A woman accused in a hit-and-run crash in Palm Springs that killed a Desert Hot Springs teenager nearly a year ago allegedly drank so much that night that she blacked out and did not notice the damage to her vehicle until the next morning, according to a court document obtained today.
Heather Marie Brents, 30, is free on bail while awaiting a June court date, as is her father, who is accused of being an accessory.
Brents and Russell Ted Stienecker, 69, both of Desert Hot Springs, surrendered at the Riverside County Superior Court in Indio on Monday and later posted $5,000 bail each.
Arrest warrants were issued for both defendants last Wednesday in connection with the May 21, 2012, crash that killed 16-year-old Zia Hoyos, according to Palm Springs police Sgt. Harvey Reed.
Someone reported a dead female on North Gene Autry Trail, north of East Via Escuela, about 1:35 a.m. on May 21, 2012. The girl was found lying across the two northbound lanes, about 200 yards north of the intersection of Gene Autry and East Via Escuela.
According to a declaration filed by Palm Springs police Officer Stephen Woodward in support of an arrest warrant, Brents "drank herself to blackout" while celebrating with friends that night. She dropped off her friends, then allegedly struck and killed the pedestrian on Gene Autry on her way home.
She stopped several hundred feet down the road, didn't see anything because it was dark and went home, according to the declaration. Later that morning, she noticed damage to the front of her vehicle, and panicked when she saw news reports about Hoyos' death, Woodward wrote.
Officer Eric Goya wrote in another declaration that Brents told her father, the registered owner of the Toyota Tacoma pickup truck she was driving that night, that "she believed she was responsible for killing the girl on the news."
Stienecker removed the truck's damaged front grille and covered the vehicle with a tarp, Goya alleged.
Neither called police, according to the officers. A friend of Brents told police a few weeks after the crash that one of her friends may have struck the girl, according to Woodward, who said Brents later told investigators that she remembered hitting something.
Police found a piece of a Toyota Tacoma at the scene where the victim was struck, and other pieces in the road that matched a piece found in the vehicle's backseat, according to Woodward.
The arrest warrants were a culmination of the investigation that started when the girl was found, Reed said.
"The Palm Springs Police Department would like to thank the public for their assistance in providing possible tips and leads during the course of the investigation," Reed said last week.
Brents is charged with a felony count of hit-and-run resulting in death or injury and Stienecker faces a felony count of being an accessory, according to court records. Both suspects are scheduled to be arraigned on June 6 at the Larson Justice Center in Indio.

Introducing Guest Pledging
Share this post
At Kickstarter, we’re always looking for new ways to support creative projects. Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of Guest Pledging. Pledging to a project used to mean that new users had to register for a Kickstarter account, which may have been a hurdle for some new backers. With the launch of Guest Pledging, people who choose not to create an account now have the option to pledge as a Guest, giving creators the opportunity to reach a whole new audience of supporters.
One of the best things about supporting creators on Kickstarter is getting a behind-the-scenes look at the project as it takes shape, and Guest backers get to follow along like anyone else. In addition, they’ll receive creator messages, project updates, and reward surveys like all backers.
If you try to back a project while logged out, you'll be directed to a page where you can either log in or continue as a guest.
Once you've pledged as a Guest you'll have the opportunity to complete your account registration. This gives you the ability to adjust your pledge, the option to save payment details for future pledges, and the opportunity to connect with fellow backers in the project’s comments.
Remaining a Guest is cool, too. Just look to your email for a confirmation of your pledge and future updates about the project from the creator.
When a Guest pledges to a project, Creators can handle communication and fulfillment the same way they have in the past. In the Creator Dashboard and Backer Report, a backer who pledges as a guest will display as “Guest” with a string of numbers. This naming format allows Creators to differentiate between Guest backers, and also helps with any conversations they might have with our Support team about a specific backer.
Starting today, Guest Pledging is available for projects in the Dance, Journalism, Theater, and Craft categories. We’ll gradually expand to more categories in the coming weeks, and soon all new backers will have the option to pledge as a Guest.
With this launch we’re excited to give backers more flexibility when supporting projects. We are always looking for ways to make it a little simpler for more people, and more ideas, to thrive on Kickstarter.

Drowning, in the ocean of the black funeral procession. Clawing through satin coats and ties and gasping to reach the air. Flailing limbs and pounding hearts closing in and squeezing together so that the world is hidden by an impenetrable curtain of desperation. Like the devils angels brawling for a place in heaven we are of one enemy but not together, everyone the same but so focused on himself. As the grave stone looms beyond us we try to escape we collide and stumble, as the endless treadmill pulls us ever backwards just faster than we can sprint. Those around us keep going as we tumble into the cradle that will hold us forever. We are piled on to each other, but we are still alone.

We`re currently in Tommy Hansen`s Jailhouse Studio in Denmark, mixing the new JORN album due for release in march 08.
We are planning to come see many of you guys and gals around Europe next year, – And hopefully other parts of the world as well. In the mean time you are all welcome to check out our web: www.jornlande.com, and sign up for an account in our Stormcrows forum, to meet other dedicated fans and friends.
We want to send our best wishes to all of you for the upcoming season, and thank you for the love and support you have shown us in the past year. It`s been truly great meeting so many of you, and we`re looking forward to seeing you again next year:-)
DOKKEN recently spent time in the studio putting the finishing touches on its upcoming release, “Lightning Strikes Again”.
“Lightning Strikes Again” will be released in March/April 2008 via Rhino Records in the U.S. and Frontiers Records in Europe. The follow-up to 2004’s “Hell to Pay” will feature the lineup of Don Dokken (vocals), Jon Levin guitar, ex-WARLOCK), Barry Sparks (bass, TED NUGENT, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, MSG) and Mick Brown (drums).
There have been a few AC/DC inspired rock releases in 2007, and This Ain’t Heaven…Welcome To Hell is one of the better ones.
The German rock band, Sin City, started as a AC/DC tribute band, but with three strong releases under their belt, they have plenty of tunes to be proud of themselves.
The music on This Ain’t Heaven…Welcome To Hell is so strong, that I often forget that it isn’t AC/DC that I am listening to. Porty Portner has Bon Scott’s vocal sound down to a tee. The combined guitar might of Dschürgen Young and Heiko “The Rocker” Haag, will have you rocking out, and in search of your favorite cold beverage in no time.
I have quite a few favorites on this record, including the tunes, Horny, Sign It, Taking In Your Sleep (The Romantics Cover) and New Jack City. There honestly isn’t a bad cut in the bunch.
If you are rock purist, and are looking for something completely original, Sin City is not an act that you will want to try out. If you are fan like myself that prefers hard rocking tunes with a good beat and a party rock vibe, Sin City delivers the goods! You can pick up your copy of This Ain’t Heaven……Welcome to Hell at the following link. http://www.sin-city.de/puresincity/pages/shop.php
It will make a great stocking stuffer for your favorite AC/DC or Sin City fan!

Metal Heaven has announced the signing of heralded US melodic metal masters, DRIVER, featuring powerhouse vocalist ROB ROCK and acclaimed guitarist/producer, ROY Z (Halford, Bruce Dickinson). Based out of Los Angeles, CA, DRIVER was one of the top local acts at the height of melodic hard rock in the late 1980’s and issued a widely circulated 5-song cassette EP in 1990 that garnered the band a dedicated worldwide following. The band was ultimately denied by major labels with the emergence of the grunge rock scene that dominated the musical landscape during the early 90’s, yet DRIVER’s cult status as one of the most underrated HR acts of their time held steadfast over the years.
With Metal Heaven stepping in and inking the band to a deal, DRIVER will finally get a chance to release the album they intended to deliver back when. The new CD will feature re-recorded versions of songs that were written by ROY Z and ROB ROCK during the band’s 2-year bi-coastal existence spanning the years 1989 and ’90, including those on the original demo and some new songs as well. Original drummer Reynold “Butch” Carlson will perform and some other special guests including Mat Sinner on bass. Stay tuned for more details and keep your eyes open for a Spring 2008 release!

Since the mSATA-compatible SSD 525 series of solid state drives isn't the sort of thing that all PCs can use, Intel has released drives featuring the more versatile 2.5-inch form factor.
The SSD 335 line of solid state drives isn't ancient, but it isn't exactly new either. One might also say it isn't exactly a drive series though, since it only has one member.
Intel has just released a second model though, called SSDSC2CT180A4K5 and, as some might understand from the name, equipped with 180 GB capacity.
The drive body design has been changed, and it will be applied to all new 240 GB units as well.
As the photo may reveal, the perimeter of the drive has a brace running alongside it, without removing the 2.5-inch, 9mm-thick compatibility. The print art evokes circuit boards.
It isn't exactly relevant in the grand scheme of things, since storage devices like this are seldom left out in the open.
Still, an aesthetic accent never hurts, so long as the price is unaffected to any relevant extent.
That said, the specifications are what people might expect from an MLC NAND-based (multi-level cell) solid state drive with a SandForce controller.
The SandForce SF-2281 chip is used, leading to a sequential read speed of up to 500 MB/s and a writing speed of 450 MB/s.
As for the random throughput, it is 52,000 IOPS (input/output operations per second).
For those in need of a reminder, the speeds are the same as on the 240 GB drive, as is the rest of the feature set (20 nm MLC by IMFlash, the form factors, the SATA 6.0 Gbps support).
Intel wants $179.99 in exchange for each 180 GB SSD 335 drive, and will offer a 3-year warranty for each purchase. The sum is equivalent to 131.74 Euro, but the EU price will probably be closer to 180 Euro.

The Lincoln men's and women's track and field teams were denied a chance at winning indoor national championships earlier this month.
However, the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association made an announcement that still recognized the Blue Tigers on a national level.
On Wednesday, Lincoln senior Rene Medley was named the USTFCCCA Division II women's indoor track national athlete of the year.
"It's a feat that she's the first Lincoln athlete to receive that," Lincoln athletic director John Moseley said. "We're extremely proud of her and all of her accomplishments throughout the season, and even throughout her career. This is a highlight of the season, but she's done great things throughout her time as a Blue Tiger, both on the track and in the classroom. We could not be prouder of all that she has accomplished."
Medley was one of three finalists for the Division II award, along with University of Mary's Ida Narbuvoll and Grand Valley State's Nicole Sreenan.
Medley qualified for the indoor track and field national championships in two events: the women's 60-meter dash and the 200-meter dash. She was seeded first in both events, with season-best times of 7.37 seconds in the 60 and 23.57 seconds in the 200.
In her first two seasons at Lincoln, Medley was a seven-time national champion and a 12-time All-American in the indoor and outdoor seasons combined. She has finished in the top-eight in each event she has qualified for at the national championships.
Here biggest feat came last May at the outdoor track and field championships, where she helped Lincoln to a team national championship by winning four event national titles: the 100-meter dash, the 200, the 4x100-meter relay and the 4x400-meter relay.
Medley was set to add to her list of accolades, but the 2020 indoor track and field championships, which were scheduled to begin March 13, were canceled by the NCAA less than 24 hours before the first event due to COVID-19 concerns.
"It was disappointing," Moseley said. "It's certainly disappointing for our student-athletes that put so much work into their seasons. We're extremely proud of how the track and field program, men and women, and their athletes have represented the institution all year."
The USTFCCCA also had Lincoln sophomore Ryan Brown as a finalist for the Division II men's indoor field national athlete of the year, along with Missouri Southern's Rajindra Campbell and Colorado School of Mines' Connor McLean. The award went to McLean on Thursday.
Brown was going into the national championships as the No. 1 seed in both the men's long jump (25 feet, 6 inches) and the triple jump (52-1).
"Ryan has had a tremendous career as well," Moseley said. "He's a national champion, he's been athlete of the week several times. He's another quite impressive student."
Lincoln head coach Victor Thomas is also a finalist for both the men's and women's Division II track and field national coach of the year. Tiffin's Jeremy Croy and Missouri Southern's Bryan Schiding are also finalists for the men's honor, while Grand Valley State's Jerry Baltes and University of Mary's Dennis Newell are also finalists for the women's award.
The Division II coach of the year awards will be announced at 11 a.m. today.
"It's speaks to the volume of the program that coach Thomas has built throughout his time at Lincoln," Moseley said. "He's consistently had student-athletes that have won in their competition, as well as represent the university well away from the track."
Heading into the national championships, the USTFCCCA had the Lincoln men ranked No. 1 in the country, while the women were ranked No. 2.
The Lincoln women have won 14 national championships in program history: five during the indoor season, nine during the outdoor season.
"They were right there for the possibility of capturing what could have been the 15th national championship for women's track, and a (first) national championship in the sport of men's track and field," Moseley said. "While your heart breaks for those athletes because you know how much work they've put in, we understand that these are unprecedented times, and the safety and well-being of our country is more important that any sport or any activity.
"But your heart does break for the athletes and for the coaches, with the amount of work they put in."
When the NCAA announced all winter and spring national championships were canceled, Moseley said his attention immediately turned to the Lincoln track and field teams, which were already in Birmingham, Ala.
"We were just thinking about the logistics of getting all of those athletes back to our campus safely," he said.
Lincoln had taken a bus to the national championships, and the Blue Tigers returned to campus the following day.
Although Lincoln shut down its campus Wednesday, Moseley said a little more than 50 students are still on campus. Many of those remaining students are on the track and field team, which has 17 athletes on the men's and women's roster listed with Jamaica as their home country.
"They're being allowed to stay on campus right now," Moseley said.
Each April, Lincoln hosts the True Blue Awards to recognize its student-athletes. Moseley said that event has been canceled for this school year.
"We're still in discussions on how we can recognize the accomplishments of our athletes and coaches," he said.

It was 22 years ago on Sunday that Linus Torvalds announced in a newsgroup posting that he was creating a free operating system, a message he echoed in his announcement Sunday of the latest Linux kernel release candidate.
"Hello everybody out there using minix - I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones," Torvalds wrote on August 26, 1991, asking people to send in feature requests.
On Sunday, Torvalds announced the Linux 3.11-rc7 kernel release in similar fashion.
"Hello everybody out there using Linux -- I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, even if it's big and professional) for 486+ AT clones and just about anything else out there under the sun.A This has been brewing since april 1991, and is still not ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in Linux 3.11-rc7," he wrote on Google+.
Happy 22nd b'day Linux.
Is Linux that old already?

The Left's Blind Eye to the Obvious
The approach of the new year might be an appropriate time to summarize what I have learned in researching the several books and articles that I have written this decade. That I came to own -- or even break -- many of the stories involved, although satisfying to me, should appall any ordinary citizen.
- More than half of those incinerated during Janet Reno's tank attack at Waco on April 19, 1993 were ethnic minorities -- 39 out of 74, to be precise. Six of them were Hispanic, six of Asian descent, and a full 27 of them black, ages six to sixty-one. They did not commit suicide.
- About a third of the Jonestown dead did not commit suicide either. Three-year-olds typically don't know how. Authorities dumped the bodies of more than 250 of these children, most of them black, into a mass grave in Oakland's Evergreen Cemetery. There they lie to this day, unsung and unmourned because they serve no useful political purpose.
- They serve no purpose because their killer, James Jones, was a self-professed "communist" in deep with a slew of leading Democrats -- George Moscone, Harvey Milk, Willie Brown, Jerry Brown, and even Rosalynn Carter and Walter Mondale. Moscone appointed Jones to the Human Rights Commission and then to the chairmanship of the city's Housing Authority.
- All witnesses who saw Timothy McVeigh on the morning the Murrah Building blew up saw him with a short, swarthy fellow. According to the Washington Post, a judge detained McVeigh without bail "after listening to four hours of testimony from FBI special agent John Hersley in which he described eyewitness accounts of a yellow Mercury with McVeigh and another man inside speeding away from a parking lot near the federal building."
- Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick, the so-called "field commander" of the Oklahoma City task force, played an even more aggressive role managing the TWA Flight 800 investigation a year later. The Clintons appear to have rewarded her for her steely performance with the vice-chairmanship of Fannie Mae, a job for which she had no known credentials.
- Six years and about $25.6 million in salary and bonuses later, Gorelick responded to the call of duty once more and took one of five Democratic seats on the 9-11 commission.
- By the FBI's own count, no fewer than 270 eyewitnesses gave formal reports to the FBI describing a red-tipped object with a smoky contrail striking TWA Flight 800. About a hundred witnesses tracked the object from the surface. Astonishingly, the New York Times would interview none of them.
- Four weeks after the disaster, the Times' Don Van Natta would report, "Now that investigators say they think the center fuel tank did not explode, they say the only good explanations remaining are that a bomb or a missile brought down the plane."
- Likely under White House pressure, and without any new evidence, the FBI immediately shifted its storyline away from a missile to a bomb, and a month later, from a bomb to a mechanical failure. The Times reporter who got the call to document both shifts was Andy Revkin, the same reporter at the center of the Climategate scandal.
- Bizarrely, Richard Clarke, Clinton's anti-terror czar who knew next to nothing about aircraft technology, claimed to have discovered the official cause of the TWA 800 crash months, if not years, before the NTSB did.
- Clinton Commerce Secretary Ron Brown was dispatched on his fatal plane flight that same election year, 1996, for no more noble a purpose than to broker a sweetheart deal between the neo-fascist president of Croatia and the Enron Corporation.
- The Air Force concluded that the controlled descent of Brown's USAF plane into a Croatian mountainside was "inexplicable." The maintenance chief responsible for the airport's navigation system showed up with a bullet hole in his chest the day before his Air Force interview.
- Brown's fatal head injury struck the forensic photographer and attending pathologist as having the size and shape of a gunshot wound. He was nonetheless buried (over the protest of the pathologists) without an autopsy. The photographer and three Armed Service pathologists would sacrifice their careers going public with their discontent. The major media reported close to none of this.
- As the Nation of Islam plotted to kill "heretic" Malcolm X, Malcolm's wife Betty Shabazz approached the one person with the clout to dissuade Malcolm's fellow Muslims. "You see what you're doing to my husband, don't you?" she pleaded. Muhammad Ali blew her off, saying, "I'm not doing anything to him." Malcolm was gunned down shortly thereafter.
- If a young Ali jeopardized his liberal chic by betraying Malcolm X, a reformed Ali risked it again when he publicly supported Ronald Reagan and even attended the Republican National Convention. Who would have guessed?
- Alex Haley plagiarized his Pulitzer Prize-winning non-fiction bestseller, Roots, from a book written by white novelist Harold Courlander, who sued Haley for damages. Midway through the trial, the judge threatened to charge a dissembling Haley with perjury unless he settled, which he did for big bucks.
- Sorry, Virginia, but there was no Kunta Kinte. Writing in the Village Voice, literary detective Philip Nobile would call Roots "one of the great literary hoaxes of modern times."
- Speaking of the literary hoaxes, not a single one of the scores of mainstream book editors who reviewed Christopher Andersen's Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage chose to notice Andersen's most newsworthy revelation: "In the end, [Bill] Ayers's contribution to Barack's Dreams From My Father would be significant -- so much so that the book's language, oddly specific references, literary devices, and themes would bear a jarring similarity to Ayers's own writing."

Before the age of 10 Bourby remembers trying practically every instrument she could lay her hands on, but it wasn't until discovering a great uncle's old violin in an attic that she found her calling! She began violin lessons at the age of 11 and progressed to viola aged 15.
BA Hons, Music (Oxford University, UK) Postgraduate Diploma in Performance (Royal College of Music, London) Master of Business Administration (MBA) (University of WA)
According to Bourby - everything! Playing co-principal violist with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, touring with the famous Allegri String Quartet, being a founder member of the British-based group 'bond' were all amazing experiences, but playing with Emma and Jessica in bojème is so far the biggest lasting buzz of Bourby's performing career!
When not playing Bourby enjoys working as a marketing consultant and has recently completed an MBA at the University of Western Australia. In what little time is left, she enjoys keeping fit and is passionate about the sport of rowing. She has coxed elite rowing crews and medalled at Regattas in Europe and Australia - although she reports bojème is increasingly keeping her out of the boat!


A worm gear reducer is one type of reduction gear box which consists of a worm pinion input, an output worm gear, and features a right angle output orientation. This type of reduction gear box is generally used to take a rated motor speed and produce a low speed output with higher torque value based on the reduction ratio. They often can solve space-saving problems because the worm gear reducer is one of the sleekest reduction gearboxes available due to the small diameter of its output gear.
The rating input power and output torque of reducer is established on the basis of an ideal condition that the reducer are operating continuously 8 hours per day under a constant load.If the load or operating condition changes. the output torque changes also.So select suitable type must according to the flowing table 1.
