TUPELO – According to Northern Transportation Commissioner Mike Tagert, a major highway project in north Mississippi will soon connect the Pontotoc and Tupelo communities with new four-lane roads.
This paving project will relocate SR 6 from SR 342 in Pontotoc County to U.S. 45 just south of Tupelo in Lee County. The project also includes the chemical stabilization of the subgrade and sub-base, asphalt paving, and permanent traffic striping and signage.
“This project is vital for improving freight routes in north Mississippi and will make it easier for motorists to travel in between the Pontotoc and Tupelo communities,” said Northern Transportation Commissioner Mike Tagert. “When complete, this new route will decrease the amount of large trucks on the area’s smaller, ...

"When makin' a questionable decision, sometimes the only way to find the answer is to shut your eyes & mash the pedal to the metal, you guys."
The great Brian Philips writes about the World Cup. Looking at old pictures of my friends I feel the same way. He says:
Something I’ve noticed since I entered my mid-thirties is that no one
ever looks the right age anymore. When I see friends I’ve known for
years, they’re always a little older than I expect, a little different
from the images I’m carrying around in my head. But when I see old
pictures of them, pictures from the time when those mental images ought
to originate, they look astoundingly, impossibly young. No one was ever
as young as they look. They look like elves with goofy hair. So what am I
picturing when I think of them? Something that never really existed,
probably. Something both finished and unfinished, a story I’ve told
myself. We tell ourselves stories to make time be

Brett Frischmann (Cardozo) has posted Defining Infrastructure and Commons Management (Book Chapter, Oxford University Press) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
Infrastructure and commons are not typically thought to be related to one another. Both concepts have rich histories and varied meaning, and both involve complex phenomena that are the subject of study in various disciplines, including engineering, economics, political science, and law. There is no separate field of in...
It was a sunny day, a breeze was blowing in from the ocean and the leaves outside the hospital lobby window were shining and rippling.
Inside, a woman played with her 3-month-old grandson and waited for his cousin to be born upstairs. Another woman worked a crossword puzzle, occasionally looking up at Leslie Miller, who sat at a grand piano.
Miller couldn't see her audience or the scene beyond her bench at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla. But she felt the mood was light, so she played gentle songs and love songs and smiled to herself as her fingers skipped up and down the keys.

VIERA, Fla. -- The Mets and right-hander Matt Harvey have officially come to an agreement regarding the location of his Tommy John rehab, according to general manager Sandy Alderson.
The Mets will permit Harvey -- thanks to a clause in the Collective Bargaining Agreement preventing the club from keeping him in Florida for more than 20 days -- to rehab at Citi Field when the team is at home, giving him access to his teammates, his apartment and all the luxuries that New York has to offer.
When the team is on the road, Harvey will fly to Port St. Lucie, Fla., to rehab at the team's Spring Training facility.
That arrangement will continue through June, at which point Harvey will rehab in Florida "more or less full-time" as he ramps up his workouts, according to Alderson.
In effect, the deal i
Music soothes the savage beast, but MIT researchers reported in the March 7 issue of Nature that they have invented mythical beasts of sound that may pave the way to better musical experiences for the hearing impaired.
Imagine an orchestra that pounded out only a rhythm and a few snatches of melody, or created an annoying jumble of conflicting sounds. This is what music is like for many of the more than 45,000 hearing-impaired adults and children worldwide who use the bionic ear known as the cochlear implant.
MIT researchers separated and then recombined two components of speech and music to better understand how the brain processes sound. They named the resulting weird sounds "auditory chimeras" after the mythological beast with the head of a lion, the body of a goat and the tail of a ser
My question is whether I should test code that I know will be changed in a short time. I'm doing TDD in ruby, and I often meet with this question. I'm interested about best practices about this, pro and contra. Thanks.
Clarification: My question is basically how do you compare the 'cost of writing a test' VS 'the fact that the code will change soon' and make decision.

The Gorgon is a very bizarre class. Gorgons play sort of like monks, in that they both rely on the "regen fight" strategy, and they both have naturally bad damage. Gorgons don't have base damage reductions, but unfortunately raising bonus damage is harder to accomplish. However, with the right items, the Gorgon should ...

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
In the poll, Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney paced the GOP field at 19% and 18%, respectively. Newt Gingrich took third at 13%, followed by Palin (12%), Trump (8%), and Ron Paul (8%.)
That's a stunning turnaround from one month ago, when Trump led PPP's national survey with 26% to Huckabee's 17%.
But since then, Trump has taken a beating in the media. NBC questioned Trump about his his failed business ventures and bankruptcies -- questions which Trump brushed off by saying he was paid millions, "for his genius."
Also perhaps contributing to Trump's sudden downfall is the fact that the birther population, a group Trump heavily courted by insisting that Obama release his long form birth certificate, was cut in half once Obama released that documentation.

The U.S. Air Force rolled out new plans Wednesday to guide the energy-thirsty agency's programs to reduce oil consumption and use more renewable energy.
The Air Force spends a lot of money on energy -- $9 billion in fiscal year 2008 to power planes, vehicles and bases. But it has also for years been integrating renewable sources into its energy mix and experimenting with alternative jet fuel.
It's not hard to see why all this matters. The Defense Department is by far the biggest energy consumer in the federal government, accounting for 91 percent of federal petroleum consumption, the plan notes. And the Air Force accounts for 64 percent of total armed services' fuel costs, largely to meet its 2.5 billion ga...
RL — Working with Charley must have been interesting. I’ve heard lots of stories about him.
DF — I actually knew Charley from the time I was 8. His nephew and I played little league baseball together. Charley lived on Georgia Avenue, about 3 miles from where I grew up. We’d pass his house every time we went to Sawmill Park for little league baseball. Working with him was a blast, no pun intended, but I knew t...
RL — Any special memories of Charley you want to pass along?
DF — Well, he was the first guy to impress upon me how important gambling was to the world of sports. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. But to Charley, if you couldn’t bet on it, it wasn’t worth talking ab

Packed field changes game for Democrats
Many in Mass. seek House seats
Most members of Massachusetts’ overwhelmingly Democratic congressional delegation are not accustomed to much of a challenge when they come up for reelection. But this year the old assumptions don’t apply, providing a greater sense of urgency to the Fourth of July picnics and neighborhood political forums.
By last week’s filing deadline, 37 candidates qualified to run in primaries for the state’s 10 seats in the US House of Representatives, twice as many challengers as in recent years. That includes 24 candidates on the Republican side alone — meaning a party that has often had trouble fielding even a single candidate wi...

FORT MYERS, Fla. — For one day at least, it wasn’t about expectations for John Lackey, his spot in the rotation or whether he could live up to his big contract. It was simply a chance to play.
Lackey had gone 515 days without pitching in a real game. His right elbow gave out by the end of the 2011 season, the ulnar collateral ligament so frayed that doctors were surprised he found a way to get the ball to the plate.
Tommy John reconstruction surgery and months of rehabilitation followed.
Lackey finally took the mound Saturday as the Red Sox opened their spring training schedule with a 4-3 loss to a Tampa Bay Rays split squad at JetBlue Park. He threw just one inning but rarely have 20 pitches been so satisfying.
“I missed playing baseball," said Lackey. “It was fun being back out there.”

If you visit Clovis Community Medical Center anytime soon, don’t expect things to look “business as usual.” A multi-year, $300 million expansion is progressing rapidly and will affect key areas of the existing hospital beginning in August.
Among the changes, the main entrance and cafeteria will be closed as remodeling begins on the hospital’s main lobby. Visitors will enter through the Outpatient Care Center and dine in the enhanced Evert’s Bistro while the renovations are made.
