The Samsung 18d phones are compatible with the Officeserv range of systems but are not the best keyphones to use with the United Kingdom version.
This is because the Samsung 18d is a US model of phone, is most suited with the American telephony network and is better known as the Samsung 18d Falcon handset.
The Samsung 18d is functional with the British networks, but we would definitely recommend that you use a UK telephone, such as the Samsung 14B keyphone
Samsung 18d functions: It has 18 programmable keys with the typical tri coloured LED lights. The Samsung 18d has a 32 character, 2 line adjustable LCD (Liquid crystal display) screen, which shows all of the information relating to your call including the time/date, calltimer and extension name and number. There are also two fixed-keys, which are 'hold' and 'answer, release'. The Samsung 18d is wall mountable with a built in speakerphone, allowing you to move around the office whilst on handsfree. There are eight different ringtones, so you can differentiate between your hand-set ringing against your colleagues.
Samsung 18d prices: Although we would prefer you to purchase the euro handsets, we do stock the Samsung 18d keysets.
Our Samsung Phones have been discounted at 25% off the recommended retail price and all Samsung equipment can be with you for next working day delivery, if you wish.
Contact us now on 0800 652 8052 for any advice that you require. We will be more than happy to help.

Defensive lineman Tony McDaniel has passes his physical and the Miami Dolphins have announced his addition to the team.
Like you, I needed answers about McDaniel, so I went to a good resource, who happens to be a good friend in the business.
Michael Wright is all over the Jaguars as the Florida Times Unions beat writer. The former college linebacker is on top of that team more than some people who work for the organization.
Here is what Wright had to say about the Dolphins' new defensive lineman, whom the Dolphins traded a seventh-round pick to acquire, supplementing it's young defensive line.
"Tony is an impressive physical specimen - very quick, agile and strong. He's definitely big enough to play nose in a 3-4. But there are three major technical kinks to his game:
1). McDaniel doesn't consistently play with proper pad level, especially when he's winded. That allows guys to get under McDaniel and push him around. 2). Hand placement continues to be an issue with McDaniel because he's still somewhat raw after coming out of college early. In college, McDaniel just bulled over opponents. In the NFL, he's had to learn the importance of hand placement.
3). As quick as McDaniel is, he still needs to improve on his "get-off". It's just not consistent enough for a team to count on him as an every-down nose.
"[Jaguars coach] Jack Del Rio seriously thought he uncovered a gem when he brought in McDaniel. Del Rio absolutely loved the guy, and McDaniel's quick development (initially) helped the coach make the decision to part ways with Marcus Stroud. Injuries (he's had two season enders in back to back years) two defensive coordinators, and two defensive line coaches over the past two years have slowed McDaniel's development. With hard coaching though, he might turn out to be that gem Del Rio envisioned."
Hope this helps you Dolphins fans get a clearer picture of what McDaniel can become, and understand why he was acquired.
The one thing that does concern me is why would the Jaguars, a team that's reportedly working towards moving to a 3-4 defensive scheme, give up a big, physical d-lineman like McDaniel?

Wal-Mart has officially entered the commercial download video business, but the real story isn't the features or the pricingall of that remains disappointing. The big news is the Wal-Mart has beat Mr. Jobs to an important milestone. Wal-Mart's offering is backed by an entourage that includes all six major Hollywood studios. Apple has only Disney as a full partner, with Paramount currently testing the waters but not committing to releasing new flicks on iTunes. Warner Brothers, Sony, 20th Century Fox and Universal have all said "no thanks" to Jobs while accepting Wal-Mart's invitation.
How did this happen?
Chalk it up to a stubborn Steve Jobs. Apple would not move far from its vision for pricing, which has already been compromised once. Last summer, Apple was adamant that $9.99 was the sweet spot for movie sales, and they battled the studios over it. The final result was that only Disney hopped on board with a revised pricing scheme that included $9.99 for catalog titles, $12.99 for launch releases, and $14.99 for new releases after launch. It still wasn't good enough to bring everybody to the table.
Wal-Mart, on the other hand, has met the studios' demands and will be pricing movies from $7.50 to $19.98. The company will have new downloads on the same day as their DVD release, and they will also host $1.96 TV shows from Fox, CW, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, Logo and VH1 (ABC, NBC, CBS nowhere to be found). Classic movies will sell for $7.50 to $9.98, while most other titles will float somewhere between $9.99 and the new release price of $19.98.
Wal-Mart is letting the studios mimic brick and mortar prices for physical DVDs, which is exactly how this deal got done. Does this price increase mean you can burn DVDs and watch them? No. The feature set is still depressingly weak: no burnable DVDs, no easy sharing among your devices, no high-definition. The only differentiator here, aside from the larger catalog, is the price itself. Well, there's one other small matter: by using Microsoft's DRM, the studios can puts tabs on sharing.
Wal-Mart's capitulation to the studios is no surprise, as they both share the same core interest: shoring up the longtime profitability of physical DVDs. As the leader in DVD sales, Wal-Mart would hate to see Apple's pricing take off, for it could eat into their sales. The studios, too, are not interested in seeing a price war between retailers take a bite out of their margins. If there's a surprise here aside from Steve Jobs losing one to Wal-Mart, it could only be that Wal-Marta company famous for revolutionizing distribution and saleshas just opted to protect an old business model as opposed to really challenging it.
Bright future for Wal-Mart downloads?
How do we see this playing out? Apple need not shake in its boots, yet. We believe that the market for movie downloads on Windows using Microsoft DRM (Windows and IE required) is particularly weak, based on the observation that neither CinemaNow nor Movielink has done well despite being online for years. If Wal-Mart's entry into this field spells trouble, it spells it most clearly for those two players, who now have a drop-in replacement looming overhead. Then there's Netflix's recent moves in the download space. If you're a Windows user comfortable with Microsoft DRM, you now have one more choice to consider.
We also believe that over the next several months Wal-Mart will see low sales, and the studios will get the message: right now Apple is where the action is, and who is going to stay aboard a listing ship when Apple is moving millions of units for Disney? In some ways this deal could be good for Apple, in that the studios have now made their deal with the DVD retail giant and thus are now free to experiment elsewhere without fear or retribution should Wal-Mart's performance stink. Only time will tell, but today's announcement from Wal-Mart is underwhelming.

Ohio school names special-needs homecoming couple
Students at a northeast Ohio high school have named two 21-year-old seniors born with Down syndrome as their homecoming king and queen.
Holly Thomas and Jake Cox became reigning royalty at Westlake High School at Friday's football game.
Lori Thomas, the girl's mother, told the Morning Journal of Lorain she's grateful to students and their parents for the values displayed by the decision.
Thomas and Cox were born just months apart and have long been best friends. Lori Thomas told the Northeast Ohio Media Group they've been "an item" since fifth grade.
Jacob's grandmother, Dorothy Morris, said she initially worried the nomination was a prank. But seeing her grandson and Holly with fellow students made her realize it was a sincere statement in a time of bullying.

What China's tacky first amusement park says about the Chinese
SHENZHEN, China -- You most certainly could not see this Great Wall of China from outer space, but you can see it reasonably well from a golf cart parked 20 feet away.
At one foot tall, this miniature reproduction of China's most iconic sight is the highlight of Splendid China, a bizarrely sedate theme park on the outskirts of the southern boomtown of Shenzhen. I was invited to tour the park as part of its promotion for several new attractions for Chinese New Year, the country's biggest holiday.
Built in 1989, Splendid China was the country's first amusement park. Inspired by Dutch models, it aimed to bring a hundred of China's classic landmarks to a population that could otherwise not afford to see them. Here you could see Confucius's home reduced to the size of a large gingerbread house. Tibet's famous Potala palace could have fit into a refrigerator box. The picturesque Yellow Mountain, lovingly depicted in traditional paintings, stood no higher here than an apple picker.
Little since then has changed. It remains pleasant if a bit dull. One particularly soporific section calls itself "Trees Planted by the Most Famous People in the World," featuring trees from Kissinger, Castro, and George H.W. Bush. Six Flags it is not.
But now, after two decades of economic and social transformation, Splendid China is trying to adapt to a different China. The early success has tapered off. In 1992, 7 million people came to visit the park, one employee told me. Now it's closer to 1.5 to 2 million a year.
"This year is not so wonderful," said Tiffany Wong, a research specialist at Splendid China. "We used to be the only park in China. You can imagine, now there are five just in Shenzhen."
In fact, China has built so many theme parks that the government enacted a building ban in 2011. Of the 2,500 parks built across China in the last 20 years, less than 10 percent made a profit, according to data from the China Tourism and Attractions Summit.
Splendid China -- which since 2003 has called itself Splendid China Folk Culture Villages, after it merged with a neighboring park -- has held on, making $1 billion in revenue last year, according to park employees. But as the wealth and sophistication of China's population have increased, so have their expectations for entertainment.
"People are getting richer, so they can go to the see the original places," thereby eliminating the appeal of miniatures, says Wong. "That's one problem."
Splendid China officials realize that a static park of statues doesn't quite cut it for Chinese tourists today. On a pleasant afternoon this week, no more than 25 people were strolling in the miniatures section of Splendid China.
"We are developing a master plan" to change the park, said Wang Fan, vice general manager of Splendid China. "The demand of customers has changed, so we have to adapt to their tastes. Our park is about viewing in a very passive way, but parks now are more interactive."
Splendid China, which is controlled by the state-run China Travel Service corporation, has hired American consultants to create a new conception for the park, which will be rolled out next year. The Americans' first proposal was rejected, one employee said, because it didn't show an adequate grasp of Chinese culture and history.
Nowadays, the majority of tourists prefer the Folk Culture Villages section of Splendid China, a fun, campy set of "villages" featuring some of China's 55 officially-recognized minorities. Once or twice daily, tourists clap as a Wu performer licks a torch and walks on blades. In another village, a Dong man climbs a 30-foot pole on steps made from knives. At the exhibit of Li people from the tropical island of Hainan, young men smash coconuts with stones and start a fire with sticks. At 4 p.m., horse-riding acrobats re-enact a battle between the Ming Dynasty and Manchu invaders. It's like a living museum of anthropology merged with a Renaissance Faire.
The future, Splendid China employees say, is in such spectacular shows. Twice daily, 70 dancers already put on performances that are gaudier, cheesier, and more ambitious than anything comparable in America. At various points in the performance, cannons fire; rocks talk; rain pours down from the ceiling; women dance with live peacocks in their hats; a pirate ship and catapult roll across the stage, as do a dozen live billygoats.
The changing fortunes and focus of Splendid China underscore how radically Chinese society has changed since opening up. If Splendid China is a sign of China's amusement park past, it may also be a sign of its future. China's emerging middle class wants entertainment equal to their growing status. And if -- as with America's creation of Broadway musicals -- that means more world-class dancing, pageantry, and irresistible schlock, all the better.

came in on our myspace:
I don't know if you guys check your MySpace emails but I don't have any other way of writing you a message.
After 4 years of Blue Wednesday I decided I needed to seek other musical outlets and I've decided not to book future dates in the Events Diary. This has not been an easy decision as running BW with the great support of the Forest has been a real joy. I've been able to showcase great talent from throughout the UK and from Canada and the USA. Musicians have been universally enthusiastic and clamouring for a return gig and I've made sure that there have been many repeat performances of popular acts.
However, I operate on the basis that things have a natural life and when you start forcing them they begin to turn out like oranges in summer or GM potatoes. BW seemed to me to have achieved something I never thought possible when I trialled it for 3 months in 2006, but now it's time to say goodbye before it loses it's lustre.
I want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all the volunteers who've made BW a possibility since 2006. I simply couldn't have done it without them. Also a big thank you to you, a distant but benign presence and a great encouragement. My thanks.

It's less than 20 miles from border to border. It has two heads of state — one a bishop from Spain and the other the president of France — but its official language is Catalan. Its mountains rise higher than 9,000 feet, and they're home to some 125 miles of ski slopes.
This is Andorra, a tiny landlocked principality that's nearly all vertical, tucked in the eastern Pyrenees between France and Spain. Historically, it occupied important trade routes through the mountains, and it continues those trading ways today with duty-free goods.
But in the winter, cheap liquor, cigarettes and perfume take second billing to snow. Andorra's mountains bring skiers from all over Europe and a handful from the U.S. A day on the lifts offers visitors the chance to practice French, Spanish, German, Catalan, Russian and other languages I couldn't decipher. Best of all, skiing usually lasts well into spring, with many resorts open until April if snow conditions cooperate.
From the U.S., traveling to Andorra usually means landing in either Barcelona, Spain, or Toulouse, France, and renting a car or taking a bus. It's about 3 1/2 hours of driving from Barcelona through increasingly mountainous areas dotted with crumbling castles and soaring churches.
Andorra has been a relatively inexpensive ski destination for Brits and other Europeans for years, but it wasn't very user-friendly the first time I visited in 2003. My wife and I stayed in the capital Andorra la Vela and found it difficult to get to the slopes via bus. Everyone smoked and maps and tourist information were scant.
Smaller crowds, varied terrain
On a trip this winter, we found it more geared to tourists. Now buses run frequently and are easy to catch, and tourist information is a bit more available — though smoking remains intense.
Most of all, though, the ski amenities are far better. Faster lifts, one ticket for four linked ski areas and more snowmaking capacity means more time skiing and enjoying the Pyrenees.
Pas de La Casa is the easternmost of the linked resorts, lying along the border with France. Unfortunately, the border is unmarked in the mountains, so I'm still not sure if I managed to ski into France.
Locals say Pas de la Casa has the best reliability for snow. It was some nice intermediate runs as well as beginner areas. It's very popular with the British, so English isn't uncommon here. And the many bars and apres ski spots thrum with energy.
My snowboarding friend and I preferred the area of Grau Roig — right next to Pas de la Casa. The crowds were slightly smaller and the terrain more varied. Many of the Andorran slopes are treeless, but Grau Roig has some nice runs where you can go off-piste among sparse woods. And there are some nice steep runs as well.
We stayed in a condo near El Tarter, where a gondola takes you halfway up the mountain to a hub of activity. There are several restaurants, dog mushing, ski and snowboard school and lifts heading up to the top of the mountain. Throughout the Grandvalira circuit, there are igloo hotels and bars, snow go-karting, snowshoeing and even scuba diving under the ice in alpine lakes.
Fine dining and spas
After a long day on the mountain, Andorran restaurants seem to offer larger portions than I remember from most European trips. A good way to get a nice sampling of food is to order the menu of the day. Diners get a choice of first, second and sometimes third course, along with dessert at a set price.
We were overwhelmed by the El Sola restaurant next to the Ice Palace (Palau de Gel) in the town of Canillo about 15 minutes down the main highway from El Tarter. A large open dining room gives a clear view of the chef cooking immense slabs of beef, lamb and pork at a giant wood fire.
Just after we sat down, the owner dropped off a dish of grilled sausages. The warm goat cheese salad was a giant pile of fresh greens with a toasted block of goat cheese drizzled with honey. After a steak the size of Texas defeated my appetite, our request for the check instead drew a bottle of schnapps and another liqueur called Ruavieja. When we did get the check, the damage was only about $47 (35 euros) each, with a bottle of red wine.
Fine dining isn't the only relief from the ravages of mountain activities that no longer match my advancing years.
Andorra has many spas. But, the biggest and most amazing for me is Caldea. It has a huge indoor-outdoor pool with bubbles and jets and other soothing treatments. Stairs lead out of the center of the pool to raised whirlpools under the high glass roof. Near the pool, a large hot pool and smaller ice-cold pool make up what's called the Indo-Roman baths.
Of course, there are dry saunas and a steam room, which has sparkling stars in the ceiling and the scent of eucalyptus. Sign up for a spa treatment and Caldea opens up a whole different level of fun and relaxation.
The Pyrenees are neither as high as the Alps, nor as dramatic in appearance as the Dolomites. But between the food, shopping and spas, plus affordable prices and Barcelona as a jumping-off point for your trip, tiny Andorra with its European mix offers more than enough for a memorable ski vacation.

Some of us spent a large portion of our youth preparing for the coming apocalypse. No, not in the creepy "our mom was Sarah Connor" sense, but in the totally normal and respectable type of advanced weapons and survival training that everyone does when they're 12, right? Understandably this has created a significantly high level of anticipation for the inevitable alien invasion / nuclear winter / ape takeover. And now, we've found the perfect survival vehicle. It's the Mitsubishi Racing Lancer equipped with a 260 HP, 480 lb.-ft. diesel engine.
While some people think the Best Post-Apocalyptic Survival Vehicles should be heavily armored and able to carry essentials for long periods of autonomy, we plan to set up camp in a permanent location and need a vehicle capable of covering long distances for supply foraging while being able to outrun and outmaneuver the hordes of less prepared, cannibalistic survivors/zombies/aliens across any terrain, all while satisfying our lust for fast, law-enforcement free driving. We think the Mitsubishi Racing Lancer may be just such a vehicle. For one, it comes in matte black, and then there's the massively capable any-terrain performance, the cool LED lights (who says you can't look good while siphoning diesel from abandoned semis?) and the Sportback's massive .50 Cal-mounting potential/load hauling ability. The Mitsubishi Racing Lancer will be entered in the 2009 Dakar Rally and the 2008 FIA Cross-Country Rally World Cup in Portugal, but we're really hoping they bring out a consumer version so we can buy one and get started modifying it with long-range fuel tanks and bulletproof windows.
MITSUBISHI 2008 PARIS MOTOR SHOW PREVIEW * Mitsubishi announces all-new 'Racing Lancer' cross-over race car * Euro V diesel, high performance technologies provide a clean link to the production Lancer family * Dakar 2009 in South America to be full debut performance A Fruitful History Since Mitsubishi entered its first race in the 1962 Macao Grand Prix / Mitsubishi 500, the name of Mitsubishi and the term 'Motor Sports' have been inextricably linked. No matter the discipline, the extraordinary skills of its drivers & co-drivers, the efficiency of its racing teams, the integrity of its cars together with the engineering excellence of its R&D have gradually built its reputation and credentials around the world: * On Circuit: 1971 Japan Grand Prix winner / Colt F2000 * The World Rally Championship: 4 Drivers' titles + 1 Manufacturers' title / Lancer Evolution * Or Cross Country: 12 Dakar victories in Pajero From Motorsports to Production Cars As a real-world test laboratory, Motor Sports birthed some enduring Mitsubishi legends such as the Pajero / Shogun, Lancer and Lancer Evolution. Supporting production car technological realities has been at the heart of Mitsubishi's ethos, including the recently introduced "Project Global" Lancer Family of Sports Saloon, Sportback, Ralliart and Evolution X. Motor Sports has also extended the reach of Mitsubishi's Okazaki R&D Centre in areas ranging from 4-Wheel Drive technology to turbo-charging, all applied to its regular production cars and SUVs, from Lancer to Pajero. A New Era Now, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) has announced a new era of Motor Sports design and engineering with its next-generation racer, the all-new crossover "Racing Lancer". With this car, MMC has added a new dimension to its racing activities, blending 35 years of Lancer prowess with 25 years of Pajero epics. The end result is a cross over between on-road and off-road rallying as well as applying to passenger cars and SUVs. The Racing Lancer will reach a wider marketing audience than any of its predecessors while re-launching Lancer's racing career. Sportback Silhouette Sporting a silhouette inspired by the recently previewed Lancer Sportback 5-door hatch, Racing Lancer will support Mitsubishi's offensive in the passenger car sector, much like the Pajero Evolution in parallel to the production Shogun in 2006. Clean Diesel Power Our sporting heritage and green designs will come together at the forthcoming Paris Motor Show1, where Mitsubishi will launch its framework for its mid-term passenger car strategy for Europe, under the banner of "One segment, One Green Solution". The Racing Lancer will become MMC's key ambassador for diesel technologies. Mitsubishi's long recognized expertise in engine development as a pioneer in clean emissions, balancing shafts, turbo-charging, and direct injection since the 1970s has again been mobilized to create a diesel engineering centre of excellence within the Company covering a wide range of diesel powertrains. From the all-new 4N13 Euro V 4-cylinder engine to be launched in 2009 to Racing Lancer's 3.0 litre turbo-charged V6 diesel race engine, all will share the same fundamental know-how and the same essential low fuel consumption and low emissions 'green benefits' of Mitsubishi's diesel technology. Technical Specification Overall length: 4,475mm Overall width: 1,990mm Wheelbase: 2,900mm Track (front/rear): 1,750mm/1,750mm Weight: 1,900kg Engine: 2,997cc V6 turbocharged diesel Maximum power: more than 190kW (260hp) Maximum torque: more than 650Nm (66.3kgm) Transmission: Ricardo five-speed sequential, manual 4WD system: permanent four-wheel drive with limited slip central differential Target - Dakar 2009 Racing Lancer is a Super Production Cross-Country Rally car, which has been developed in compliance with the FIA's Group T1 regulations (modified cross-country rally cars). It also complies with the new rules due to come into force in 2010. Supported by the highly successful trial period of the new engine, already raced several times with Pajero Evolution over the last months, Mitsubishi Motors is confident that the Racing Lancer will be a major player at the 2009 Dakar rally. The Dakar race itself will break new ground next year with a switch from Africa to South America, just as Racing Lancer will itself mark a new start for Mitsubishi Motorsports. END

AEROSMITH: New Music or No New Music on the Horizon?
Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer was recently quoted as saying he saw no reason for the band to record another album following the less than enthusiastic response to their last release, 2012's Music From Another Dimension. But bassist Tom Hamilton is a bit more optimistic, despite the fact the band is no longer being signed to Columbia Records.
He says, "We'll see what the fans want. Do they want us to write a whole album or will they be happy if we just release a new song every now and then, or maybe just an EP? Because now you can do it anyway you want. But, when we do it, it will be the smart way."
Joey Kramer is not alone in his thoughts when it comes to classic acts releasing new material. Twisted Sister guitarist Jay Jay French agrees, saying, "There is no point recording. I think that is an old school idea. Why? No one buys it. I mean no one is yet to make a case for any reason to record, I do not see any reason in the world to record. The fans who come see you do not care, they claim they care but they do not really care because if you think about it, if you take an average set list 15 to 20 songs, those songs are off the albums everybody bought… Does anybody care if AC/DC makes a new record? I mean they have made the same record for the last 30 years. AC/DC is one of my all time favorite bands. They are one of the only bands I will stand up for two hours to watch. But if I see them do you think I want to hear a new record? Of course not."

This beautiful piece of animation and storytelling has a purpose but it's not hitting you over the head with brand messaging. Chipotle understands that you don't need to cram a certain number of brand mentions or integrations for a marketing video to be effective. With this viral video concept Chipotle has found a way to communicate their mission of "changing the way the world thinks about and eats fast food" that is emotionally engaging and powerfully connects with the viewer.
We don't even see a logo until the last few seconds of video.
The video also leads to an interaction element – the game app, for people that want to continue exploring this world Chipotle has created and through that learn more about where our food comes from and what it takes to produce it.
The behind the scenes video is worth a viewing as well.

New season, new look
We're back! The Giants' annual media open house had so much interesting stuff, I just had to share it, and that seems like as good of an excuse as any to revive this too-long-dormant MLBlog.
The media open house is an annual event the Giants hold where they invite — duh — the media to learn about AT&T Park improvements, promotions, marketing campaigns and food items that will be prominent in the upcoming season. The event is usually held on the field and in the Field Club, but this year, it was moved to the club level.
Make that the Virgin America Club level. Thanks to an expanded partnership with the San Francisco-based airline, the club level has been rebranded as the Virgin America Club. Flight attendants greeted the media as we went up the escalator to the club level, and the new look of the escalator trumpeted the partnership in a big way. Yep, that's a mockup of the inside of a Virgin America plane, featuring their signature mood lighting. The lighting (purples, grays, reds) is subtly repeated in various areas of the club level itself.
The Virgin America sponsorship also includes the introduction of "Fly Bye Baby," the newest member of the Virgin America fleet. It's an Airbus A320, and Giants games and feature programming will be featured on Virgin America's in-flight entertainment system. See a photo of the beard-wearing plane here.
The club level also includes the Virgin America Flight Deck, which the Giants describe as a "hip, outdoor club-like environment" behind sections 229-230, overlooking Second and King streets (it's the same location where Switchfoot performed last year). It will include new seating, the Widmer Brothers Fan Haus bar and two fire pits surrounded by wind screens to create a more protected fan environment.
After covering promotions (including four bobbleheads, two gnomes and two World Series team reunions) and the new commercials, the Giants discussed major capital improvements to the ballpark. First and foremost, the goal with the offseason renovations has been to enhance views, improve traffic flow and create a more open feeling overall. It's noticeable right away in the main Promenade level concourses.
The overhead hanging signs have all been removed, and the lighting has been improved. They've also moved all the food carts wedged behind the lower bowl seating to the opposite side of the concourse, mostly in new nooks created along the outer wall.
It wouldn't be media day without some bathrooms news, and restrooms along the Promenade level have been reconfigured, with the left-field one getting additional capacity.
A new men's room behind section 132-133 has what the Giants are calling "Northern California's best view from a public bathroom," looking out to the Bay Bridge (and another larger window overlooks MoMo's, but don't worry — they're pretty high up in the wall).
The Bullpen Box, a premium group seating area next to the visitors dugout, is being turned into the Corona Beach Club. It'll include a small sandy beach, two Adirondack chairs and other beach-themed amenities.
As you may have read previously, another notable change is coming down the left-field line, where the congested narrow bridge near the Coca-Cola Fan Lot is being replaced with a new area spanning the entire width of the Fan Lot. It's called Ghirardelli Square South and will include a Ghirardelli location plus a full concession stand that will include garlic fries and (I'm told) the popular Sheboygan brats.
Little Giants Park, the mini ballpark in the Fan Lot, is also being renovated to open up the views toward the Bay Bridge and to add a padded left-field wall just like the real park.
Out behind the scoreboard, the upper concessions area has been dubbed Anchor Plaza and will include an Anchor Brewery Tap Room kiosk. We were told that more Anchor Steam beer is sold at AT&T Park than any other location in the world.
Finally, media day wouldn't be complete without a whole lot of food. Seriously, I think some media members attend the open house just for the food offerings. Some of these are new items; others will be available in new locations. Here's a sampling (note that many of these selections are presented in mini sizes just for media day, since there are so many choices available):
New seating area opens
Over the past 10 years, the Giants have added a number of additional seating spaces at AT&T Park, including the Dugout and Lexus Box seats behind home plate, the Legends Club in the left-field corner of the Club level, the Bullpen boxes between the dugouts and bullpens, and the Virgin America Loft in the right-field Arcade wall.
But those have all required group bookings, which can be out of reach for a number of fans. Starting with Monday's homestand opener, however, there's a new seating area available for the cost of a single-game ticket: the Coors Light Deck.
That won't be its name for long — KNBR is sponsoring a contest to rename it — but you can find it listed in the ticketing system for the upcoming week under the name "Coors Light Cold Zone." The area is located in right-center field on the Promenade level, right next to the cable car.
For the price of an Arcade ticket, you can get one of approximately 40 tickets to the
deck, which features 20 premium padded seats lining the wall overlooking the field. The seats are each adorned with the name and number of a Giants legend, from Juan Marichal and Willie McCovey to Duane Kuiper and Kirk Rueter. Behind the seats is a deck area that features two Coors Light beer stands.
As someone who had season tickets in the Arcade for years, I can tell you that the location of this seating area is fantastic for both watching the game and for amenities. Express restrooms (so named because they're underused and thus never crowded) are located right under the scoreboard area, just a staircase away from the Coors Light Deck seats.
Also under the scoreboard are some of the best concession stands in the ballpark, including a Ghirardelli sundae stand, a Gilroy Garlic Fries stand, Stormin' Norman's Fabulous Frybreads (like a funnel cake but a thousand times better) and the legendary Big Guy's BBQ. Immediately behind the scoreboard, on the Promenade level, is a food court-ish area that includes Crazy Crab sandwiches and the world-famous (or should be) Cha-Cha Bowls.
And it's a snap to exit (or enter) the ballpark through the less-used Marina Gate, which is closest to the new seating area. Take the ferry to the game and you'll be dropped off right at that gate.
Sudsy Saturday
What goes together better than beer and baseball? The Giants held their first Brewfest before Saturday's game, with the line to get into the Lot D event stretching clear across the Lefty O'Doul Bridge before the Brewfest opened.
Fans attending got a souvenir Giants sampling glass and a punch card good for seven tastings from among the nine participating San Francisco
Guild craft breweries: The Beach Chalet, 21st Amendment Brewery, Thirsty Bear Brewing Co., Magnolia Gastropub and Brewery, Social Kitchen and Brewery, Gordon Biersch, Speakeasy, Lagunitas Indian Pale Ale and Blue Moon.
Lions ring in busy homestand
Tuesday was not only the start of a nine-game homestand for the Giants at AT&T Park, it was Chinese Heritage Night, one of many special events slated for the ballpark during the season. Those with special pre-purchased tickets, proceeds of which will benefit local Chinese charities, received a Giants-themed "Year of the Tiger" figurine.
Pregame entertainment featured the always-amazing lion dancers, a video of which is embedded below. Check out Lou Seal having some fun with his new friend partway through the video.
The remainder of the homestand is jam-packed with promotions and special events, including:
Wednesday: Crazy Crab crab feed and Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Night
Thursday: Day baseball!
Friday: College Night and Healthcare Night
Saturday: Brewfest at the Park, Exploratorium Day and Giants cap giveaway
Sunday: Giants skateboard deck giveaway (shown at right)
Monday: Day baseball! Giants stars and stripes T-shirt giveaway
Tuesday: Irish Heritage Night
Wednesday: Senior Appreciation Night, Girls Softball Night with Jennie Finch and San Jose Giants Night
A special note about Monday's Memorial Day game: Not only is it a day game, but Tim Lincecum is scheduled to make his 100th Major League start against Rockies ace (and no-hitter owner) Ubaldo Jimenez. Best of all, that game is a Giants Dynamic Deal of the Week, with View Level tickets available for just $7. See you at the yard!
Switchfoot rocks the Club
Tuesday wasn't just Carnaval Night at AT&T Park, it was the first installment of the Giants' new pregame concert series, this one featuring Switchfoot. Fans purchased special tickets to attend the acoustic set on the Club Level Terrace, and they got their money's worth, as radio station sponsor Live 105 DJ No Name encouraged all fans in attendance to get ridiculously close to the object of their musical affection.
So enthusiastic was the crowd (even beyond the young woman who kept screaming, "We love you, Switchfoot!" and eventually snapped a tabletop off its pedestal when she stood on it) that lead singer Jon Foreman had to chastise fans for cheering when he announced they were from San Diego — the Giants were taking on the Padres later that evening.
Fun sidenote: When the ballpark opened 10 years ago, what is now the Club Level Terrace was originally a port and cigar bar area. How times have changed.
Below, check out the band performing the title track off their most recent album, "Hello Hurricane," and take note of fans along the ballpark's View Level taking advantage of the chance to see a bit of the concert for free:
Lou Seal feels the spirit of Carnaval
The Giants celebrated Carnaval Night on Tuesday, and the pregame entertainment featured dancers and drummers getting into the rhythm of Carnaval (watch video here). Giants mascot Lou Seal couldn't help but join in, as seen in the video below:
He shoots, he (almost) scores
In honor of the Sharks' Game 1 victory over the Red Wings last night, here's a look back at Dany Heatley throwing out the first pitch at Monday's Giants game at AT&T Park.
Heatley came to the yard with teammates Ryane Clowe, Jay Leach and Niclas Wallin to take in a game during their four-day break from the Stanley Cup playoffs. Heatley's said before that he would love to take batting practice, but because of the scheduling, that wasn't possible. Instead, the Giants arranged for him to join the previously scheduled Boys & Girls Club California Youth of the Year, Winnie Phan, in throwing out the first pitch.
Heatley, Clowe and Leach waited near the Giants dugout before the game (Wallin headed to his seat pretty quickly), indulging media requests for photos and interviews. He said despite not being raised in the United States, he's still a fan of the American national pastime.
"I'm from Canada , but I've been in the States a lot," said Heatley, who attended the Giants' home opener along with some of his teammates. "I love watching games and love being at the park."
Heatley even revealed that he'd been to a Giants game a very long time ago, when his family was visiting California and took in a game at the Giants' old home, Candlestick Park.
As he waited before Monday's game, rocking a Giants sweatshirt and cap, you could see he was getting a little nervous about the task that awaited him. At one point, he asked if someone could get him a ball and a place to warm up, and he went down to the Giants batting-cage tunnel to practice for a bit.
Giants special assistant J.T. Snow dropped by to chat and pose for pictures with the Sharks players, and Heatley hung out with Barry Zito (someone told me they were already acquainted), who would be catching Heatley's first pitch.
After pulling on his Sharks jersey (or sweater, in hockey parlance), Heatley took the field with Winnie, and while the 17-year-old rainbowed her toss into Sergio Romo's glove, Heatley fired the baseball version of a slapshot at Zito. Except his fastball came up a few feet short, and Zito had to make a nifty grab of the one-hopper.
Heatley took a lot of grief for getting outpitched by a 17-year-old (ESPN even interviewed Winnie), both when Clowe visited Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper in the broadcast booth during the game and later from his teammates. But he said he definitely enjoyed the experience and is still looking forward to the chance to take batting practice someday.
And any embarrassment over his first-pitch performance sure didn't carry over to his play on the ice: He scored his first goal of the playoffs in the Sharks' 4-3 victory over the Red Wings three days later.

Ponying up for the kids
As I drove to the ballpark today, it was almost weird not to see lines stretching all around the place, as they were for Wearable Blanket Night on Friday and Pablo Sandoval Bobblehead Night yesterday. But as I turned onto Third Street around 9:30 a.m., bam, there was a line extending from the Lefty O'Doul Gate past the Dugout Store.
Turns out it was the queue for Pony League Day, one of the many special events held in conjunction with Giants games throughout the season. Hundreds of youth baseball players and their coaches packed into a seating section along the first-base side and got a special presentation hosted by Giants broadcaster Duane Kuiper.
Participants got to ask questions and hear from Giants third-base coach Tim Flannery, catcher Eli Whiteside, outfielder John Bowker and left-hander Barry Zito, fresh off his dazzling eight-inning, 10-strikeout victory from the night before. Check out the video below for some of Zito's answers from the session:
Meet the authors
If you happen to be at today's game (and you should be — it's a spectacular day here at the yard) or you're in the area, stop by the Public House after the game. Jason Turbow and Michael Duca, the authors of the very well-reviewed "The Baseball Codes," will be there to meet the public and sign copies of the book.
Jason and Michael, friends who were kind enough to give me a copy of their book, spent an enormous amount of time researching the "unwritten rules, protocols and superstitions" of baseball. NPR, The Associated Press, The New York Times and more have all raved about the book.

About this iPhone 7
The iPhone 7 completely changed the game when it was released. Its rounded body offered a new and stylish look for the iPhone and its 4.7-inch display is capable of showing an impressive 16 million colors. With an ion-strengthened glass screen and a dust and water-resistant body it means you rarely have to worry about damaging your iPhone 7 as you're showing it off.
The big changes with the iPhone include the decision to remove the headphone jack and the redesign of the home button. Using Bluetooth headphones, you don't have to spend all day untangling wires and making sure your headset doesn't get caught on things. Meanwhile, the new home button uses Apple's Taptic Engine for haptic feedback, allowing you to get different vibration feedback for different alerts. That's not all though, as the iPhone 7 also includes improvements for the cameras which are now dual-cameras of 12 megapixels (rear) and 7 megapixels (selfie). This is powered by 2GB of RAM and the quad-core processors and the A10 Fusion chip and it offers a battery life of up to 14 hours (talk time) or 40 hours (music play). The refurbished iPhone 7 is reliable, dependable and is offered at an attractive price. Buy yours today.

I am very pleased to announce the launch of Pacific Coast Chemical Company's new website. The company, based out of Berkeley, with 17 locations across the country, had been using a very expensive and out dated online database service that was costing them an insubordinate amount of money on a monthly basis. By providing them with a site which offers not only what they had before, but also
the commerce-ability at a fraction of the cost on the Business Catalyst platform, we couldn't be happier. At the completion of the project, and after providing my free 1-hour admin training services to their staff, they
are managing the site on their own with success. Not having to provide any additional services tells me that I have completely fulfilled the client's
needs. I have done this before with Job Journal's* Job Resource and HireEvents sites. This doesn't make me sad,
or less successful, but it does make me feel proud that I did the job right. Read On

Oregon resident Kent Couch finished what our friend the priest could unfortunately not: he got into a lawn chair rigged with huge party balloons, and floated his way to Idaho.
Couch brought GPS but he also brought along a satellite phone, altimeter, and a second GPS device attached to his chair for redundancy. Then there was his pole with a hook, for bringing wind-whipped helium balloons into firing range, and containers of Kool-Aid, which served as ballast. His in-flight meal consisted of boiled eggs, jerky and chocolate. Video:
For his efforts and meticulous preparation, Couch, a 54-year-old gas station owner, was able to keep the balloon rig at 200 feet for most of the 200-mile journey.
"If I had the time and money and people, I'd do this every weekend," Couch said before getting into the chair. It was his third balloon flight in three years. "Things just look different from up there. You've moving so slowly. The best thing is the peace, the serenity." And landing, Couch, landing. Right?

Merle Dixon Zombified
Merle Dixon Zombified from AMC's The Walking Dead. He's a cranky redneck with a potty mouth and a bad attitude. But hey if everyone in a story is a super sweet individual who is lovable and cuddly then you have no story.
That's extra important in a zombie movie where most if not all the characters tend to be less than awesome individuals. Usually by the end of most zombie movies I'm rooting for the zombies to kill everyone.
That's a lie….. I root for the zombies from the very start.

This is a very disturbing topic. Please comment about the topic and not about any specific person.
There are millions of decent teachers and others who have authority over children and none of them would ever consider abusing them. Nevertheless, there is always one bad apple in the bunch. This one bad apple will bring hatred upon an entire group by using his/her authority for their own pleasures.
There are many ways that children can be abused and many environments that the abuse can take place.
Listed are some of the most devious:
Another can compound all of the above.
Some environments that the abuse can occur:
Any place where there is a person who has authority over children.
What is most disturbing to me is the abuse of children in the dojo. We all know this has happened in the past and it will happen again. When a person, who has gained the respect and loyalty of children, uses that edge to abuse them it is a most despicable act.
A child who attends a self-defense institution, is supposed to be learning how to recognize abuse and warn others that they are being abused. When the person, to whom the parents have trusted to teach their children how to defend against these atrocities, is the culprit, it makes for a nasty predicament for the children to be in.
How does a child defend against this abuse?
Verbal communication between the parent and the child.
A parent should always ask their child if he/she is comfortable in the dojo-learning environment. They should ask the child if he/she is comfortable with the Sensei, or instructors touching certain areas of the body. A touch in karate training is considered a prodding of an area to determine a focus of that area. A touch is not considered to be a fondle or "feeling" of the area.
The head, shoulders, hips, lat muscles, kidneys, arms, hands, fingers, elbows, legs, neck, chin, stomach, chest area of males, back feet and toes, are common places that students will be touched or prodded by an instructor or sensei.
The child should not be comfortable with the "Feeling of the body" which is considered a rubbing or placing of the hand on an area that is deemed sexual by response of that touch.
During Uechi-ryu Karate classes, some of the adult students get a two handed smack to the sides of the buttocks from the rear, just to check that the gluteus maximus muscles are tucked in. There should be absolutely no rubbing in this area, as that would constitute a sexual infringement.
There should be absolutely no touching or fondling to any genital areas, buttocks, and breast area of female students. No karate instructor or sensei has any need to "touch" a student in these areas.
The breast area of female students does not need to be touched. An inadvertent touching of the knuckles of the attackers fist to the female breast does not constitute a sexual touch. The rubbing of the breasts from behind, or on the side or from the back is definitely sexual in nature, which should not be allowed by the student.
Arm rubbing only, is part of the curriculum. There should be no rubbing of the legs of female students. It is not a conditioning method to rub the legs, unless the student rubs them himself/herself.
If a student is hurt in the dojo, a sensei or instructor does not have the authority to rub a bruise that is considered to be in any area of the body that is deemed sexual if touched. On female students, areas are the genitals, breasts, buttocks, and thighs. On male students, areas are the genitals, thighs, and buttocks.
During BJJ, Judo, or grappling classes, there is the chance that some inadvertent touching to these areas may occur. The children or female adult students who are 17 or younger who are at the age where they begin to feel uncomfortable with these areas being touched, should not be allowed to perform randori with students, instructors, or sensei of the opposite sex. It is too easy for a planned assault of these areas to occur, while making it seem like it was accidental.
What do you do to insure that your child is not being abused at the dojo?
Never leave your child in a class when there are no parents in the viewing/reception area. Even if there are many children students in the class. Children do not know when others are being touched sexually. Some think that is OK because of the trust that they place in the instructor or sensei. Teach your children to tell you what happens in the dojo. The child must be able to communicate all aspects of his/her training. If the dojo policy does not allow the parents to watch the classes, find another dojo that will. There should be no reason why a parent cannot observe his or her child while in a class.
However, some touching (prodding) is necessary when learning a contact sport or self-defense. You must make sure that the touching is specific to learning knowledge and not sexual in nature. The child should be able to tell you if they are comfortable with the other children, the instructors, adults, and Sensei.
An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure.

Going to start playing in this server good thing I decided to start playing origins again since your server just started. If anyone wants to team up just let me know here or in steam my steam ID should be the same if not then it will be lilcholo123.
The Lonely Bandits | Fresh Server as of 3/23/14 | Hosted on an SSD | Mature, Active and Friendly Admins | Have fun!
Server IP: 220.127.116.11:3902
Hey! My group and I are tired of abusive and duping admins, so we started our own server! Hosted on an SSD, the server has no lag and is really smooth. The server just started on 3/23/14 and all the base locations and cars are free for the taking. We encourage clans, but if you roll alone, you are welcome too. The admins of this server are mature and will not abuse their powers. If caught abusing their powers, I will see to it that there powers are taken away ASAP and they will receive a 24-hour ban.
The rules are pretty straightforward. No glitching (hiding in rocks, etc), and no duping. 1st time offense is a 24-hour ban, the next is 1 week, and after that, you are gone, for good. Since the server is really new, there won't be many people on at first, but we can change that. If the population gets high and consistent enough, I will increase the server to 50 slots.

The Congressional Budget Office projected last week that the federal government's fiscal 2018 deficit would total $782 billion. The final numbers will be released by the Treasury Department, but Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is already spinning the bad news.
"People are going to want to say the deficit is because of the tax cuts — that's not the real story," he told CNN in an interview Thursday.
"The real story is we made a significant investment in the military which is very, very important, and to get that done we had to increase non-military spending [to win Democratic votes]," Mnuchin said. "If we could have approved that with 51 votes instead of 60 votes, we would not have spent as much money on non-military spending and the budget deficit would have been considerably smaller."
While the spending deal added about $68 billion to the 2018 budget shortfall, fiscal watchdogs say Mnuchin's claim about tax cuts not adding to the deficit is plainly false.
"The tax cuts are enough to explain more than the entire increase since last year," Fiscal FactCheck, a project of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, tweeted. Marc Goldwein, the CRFB's policy director, added that, "of the $782 billion of deficits for 2018, roughly $40 billion is attributable to defense and non-defense cap increases, and another $30 billion is from other parts of the spending deal. $160 billion+ is the result of the tax cuts."
In other words, if not for the tax cuts, the deficit would have fallen compared with 2017, despite the spending increases.

Police step up patrols for Bikes, Blues and BBQ
Officers blend in with bikers during event
Police are blending in with Bikers at Bikes, Blues and BBQ to step up safety measures on the streets of downtown Fayetteville.
With all the event's commotion, local law enforcement officers are cracking down. Police said safety becomes a big concern when hundreds of thousands of bikers bombard the streets.
Police are packing the pavement with foot patrols and pulling people over in police cars. They are also stepping up security by blending in with bikers with bikes of their own.
"They're blending in a little bit more, but it does make you feel a little bit safer all around," said Kayla Holcomb.
Police are using the additional law-enforcement tactics to ensure people in Fayetteville are protected on every corner of the city.
Police also want to warn people on Dickson Street to pay attention when crossing the street, especially after the sun goes down and people have been drinking.
Police patrols will be out in full force until the end of the festival.

About Lo-Pro
Lo-Pro consisted of vocalist Pete Murray, guitarists Neil Godfrey and Pete Ricci, drummer Tommy Stewart, and bassist John Fahnestock. Most were rock veterans; founders Murray and Godfrey had been in Ultraspank, while Stewart was Godsmack's original drummer and Fahnestock had played in both Snot and Amen. Originally, Staind's Aaron Lewis signed Murray and Godfrey to 413, his vanity imprint through Geffen. By late 2002 they'd signed on Stewart, Fahnestock, and Ricci; by summer 2003 Lo-Pro was in the studio with Pearl Jam and Linkin Park producer Don Gilmore at the helm. The self-titled result was issued a few months later; it featured a refined, radio-ready post-grunge sound. Lo-Pro took the show on the road in early 2004, hitting clubs with Three Days Grace in tow. ~ Johnny Loftus

Welcome to the official website and patient portal for Kidswood Pediatrics, located in Winter Park Florida.
Impetigo, one of the most common skin infections among kids, usually produces blisters or sores on the face, neck, hands, and diaper area.
This contagious superficial skin infection is generally caused by one of two bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes (also called group A streptococcus, which also causes strep throat). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is also becoming an important cause of impetigo.
Impetigo usually affects preschool and school-age children. A child may be more likely to develop impetigo if the skin has already been irritated by other skin problems, such as eczema, poison ivy, insect bites, and cuts or scrapes due to minor trauma.
Good hygiene can help prevent impetigo, which often develops when there is a sore or a rash that has been scratched repeatedly (for example, poison ivy can get infected and turn into impetigo).
Doctors can usually diagnose impetigo based on the appearance of the rash. Occasionally, they may need to take a sample of fluid from blisters. Impetigo is typically treated with either an antibiotic ointment or medication taken by mouth.
Impetigo may affect skin anywhere on the body but commonly occurs around the nose and mouth, hands, and forearms, and in young children, the diaper area.
The two types of impetigo are bullous impetigo (large blisters) and non-bullous impetigo (crusted) impetigo. The non-bullous or crusted form is most common. It's usually caused by S. aureus but can also be caused by infection with group A streptococcus. Non-bullous begins as tiny blisters, which eventually burst and leave small wet patches of red skin that may weep fluid. Gradually, a tan or yellowish-brown crust covers the affected area, making it look like it has been coated with honey or brown sugar.
Bullous impetigo is nearly always caused by S. aureus, which releases toxins that trigger the formation of larger fluid-containing blisters that appear clear, then cloudy. These blisters are more likely to stay longer on the skin without bursting.
Impetigo may itch and kids can spread the infection by scratching it and then touching other parts of the body.
Impetigo is contagious and can spread to anyone who comes into contact with infected skin or other items, such as clothing, towels, and bed linens, that have been touched by infected skin.
When it just affects a small area of the skin (and especially if it is the non-bullous form), impetigo can usually be treated with antibiotic ointment. But if the infection has spread to other areas of the body, or the ointment isn't working, the doctor may prescribe an antibiotic pill or liquid, which is generally taken for 7-10 days.
Once antibiotic treatment begins, healing should start within a few days. It's important to make sure that your child takes the medication as the doctor has prescribed. Otherwise, a deeper and more serious skin infection could develop.
While the infection is healing, gently wash the areas of infected skin with clean gauze and antiseptic soap every day. Soak any areas of crusted skin in warm soapy water to help remove the layers of crust (it is not necessary to completely remove all of it).
To keep your child from spreading impetigo to other parts of the body, the doctor or nurse will probably recommend covering infected areas of skin with gauze and tape or a loose plastic bandage. Keep your child's fingernails short and clean.
Good hygiene practices, such as regular hand washing, can help prevent impetigo. Have kids use soap and water to clean their skin and be sure they take baths or showers regularly. Pay special attention to areas of the skin that have been injured, such as cuts, scrapes, bug bites, areas of eczema, and rashes such as poison ivy. Keep these areas clean and covered.
Anyone in your family with impetigo should keep fingernails cut short and the impetigo sores covered with gauze and tape.
Prevent impetigo infection from spreading among family members by using antibacterial soap and making sure that each family member uses a separate towel. If necessary, substitute paper towels for cloth ones until the impetigo is gone. Separate the infected person's bed linens, towels, and clothing from those of other family members, and wash these items in hot water. And keep the surfaces of your kitchen and household clean.
Call the doctor if your child has signs of impetigo, especially if he or she has been exposed to a family member or classmate with the infection. If your child is already being treated for impetigo, keep an eye on the sores and call the doctor if the skin doesn't begin to heal after 3 days of treatment or if a fever develops. If the area around the rash becomes red, warm, or tender to the touch, notify the doctor as soon as possible.

(Host) Researchers are studying rivers and ponds across the Northeast for traces of pharmaceuticals not just from dumping, but from human waste.
This has raised concerns about whether they're getting into drinking water.
As part of collaboration with northeast public radio stations Nancy Cohen from WNPR reports.
(Cohen) Yale University Ecologist David Skelly is sitting next to a tranquil pond in suburban Connecticut. What he's found below the surface is disturbing. In a study finished last year he looked at male frogs in a variety of places: near undeveloped forests, farm fields, urban and suburban neighborhoods.
(Skelly) "When we looked across that entire sample about 13% of all the male frogs had eggs in their testes."
(Cohen) None of these feminized frogs were found in undeveloped areas. The biggest percentage were found close to places where people live.
(Skelly) "When we went to suburbia and urban areas those numbers jump up to about 20%. So these urban suburban landscapes there's something going on in wetlands that seems to drive these frequencies higher. So now we want to figure out what that is."
(Cohen) To do that Skelly is collecting pond water and hundreds of male frogs. He chose only ponds that have evidence of being tainted by human waste, like coffee.
(Skelly) "If there's caffeine in a pond it came out of people. So that means there's somehow wastewater getting into the pond. And caffeine is pretty broadly distributed in the ponds that we have sampled."
(Cohen) Skelly will test the pond water to see if it contains estrogen, a sex hormone that is naturally produced by female mammals, including humans. Birth control and prostate medicines contain a synthetic form. Skelly wants to know if estrogen is getting into suburban ponds from septic and sewer systems and causing the abnormalities in frogs.
This is a question the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is interested in. Scientists there also want to know if pharmaceuticals are getting into drinking water.
(Rudzinski) "It's an area that's been of growing concern as we've begun to learn more and more about what might be present in our water."
(Cohen) The E.P.A.'s Suzanne Rudzinski says the agency is testing for pharmaceuticals at 150 sites on rivers across the country, including in the Connecticut, Hudson and Merrimac Rivers. But she says pharmaceuticals are difficult to detect at the very low concentrations that they're found.
(Rudzinski) "Trying to find these part per trillion, part per quadrillion levels. That's like trying to find an aspirin out of several Olympic sized swimming pools."
(Cohen) Despite the challenges pharmaceuticals, have been detected in drinking water. Although the EPA doesn't require monitoring or treating for them, some water utilities are funding research to find out whether water treatment systems can remove pharmaceuticals.
University of Massachusetts Environmental Engineer David Reckhow has set up small scale water treatment systems that mimic a large scale water treatment plant.is investigating whether drinking water systems, including some in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, are able to remove prescription drugs, including ones that contain estrogen.
(Reckhow) "To date what we've learned some of these pharmaceuticals and in particular the estrogenic compounds are easily removed by conventional water treatment."
(Cohen) Well, sort of. Reckhow goes on to say part of the estrogenic compounds remain after treatment.
(Reckhow) "We think there may be by products that are partly degraded, partly fragmented versions of the original estrogenic compounds. And they may still be biologically active."
(Cohen) Meaning these fragments could still affect people or animals. But Reckhow says no one knows yet what the effects are.
Suzanne Rudzinski of the E.P.A. says the agency is still investigating.
(Redzinski) "At this point we're concerned, but we're not alarmed. We think we still have one of the safest drinking water supplies in the world. And we think that the very low doses of pharmaceuticals that are showing up are probably not a major risk to human health, but again it's a question we are still trying to get a better understanding of."
(Cohen) Just this fall the E.P.A. listed about a dozen pharmaceuticals, including some containing estrogen, on a list of contaminants that may be considered for regulation in the future.
For VPR News, I'm Nancy Cohen.

text: Eugène Isabey was a deeply Romantic painter. His work during the 1820s and 1830s is characterised by a concern with the unpredictable nature of the elements, the response of the individual to nature, and a refined, vigorous application of paint that emphasised the artist's hand. Storm with a Shipwreck is one of Isabey's key Romantic seascapes. He depicts the sea as an abstract force that has the power to annihilate man and his work – our attention is drawn to the corpse of a sailor and part of the wreck of his ship in the lower corner. The violent sea and clouds and the dark, ominous rocky outcrop suggest a place of absolute danger. In this way, Isabey invokes the sublime, which was so closely associated with the sea: the sea as a space of imminent threat and an incomprehensible infinitude. Isabey's application of paint matches the subject of work; each is as theatricalised and energetic as the other.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The rapper Macklemore thinks there's a simple reason the hit "Thrift Shop" appears to be going viral: It dares to be different.
"There's a certain sound that has kind of flooded the mainstream airwaves as far as hip-hop music," he said a few hours after taping a performance on "Late Show with David Letterman" on Thursday night with producing partner Ryan Lewis. "The beat doesn't sound anything like that, the lyrics are kind of completely polar opposite from what you hear from most commercial rap records and it's got a hook that's very catchy. So I think that you combine those three things and it equates to an original sounding song that's refreshing to the audience that hears it."
Listeners have responded with rare enthusiasm to the song about "poppin' tags" to develop your own unique sense of swag. "Thrift Shop" sits atop the Billboard Hot 100 radio airplay chart, the Nielsen SoundScan Digital Songs chart and is the No. 1 song on Spotify for two consecutive weeks. Only one other song, Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven," has reached the top of those lists simultaneously.
The Seattle-based duo has sold 2.3 million copies so far — a million in the last month alone — and sales continue to grow week to week. Macklemore, whose real name is Ben Haggerty, said he and Lewis thought the song might appeal to a "niche demographic" and didn't envision it becoming a single. The song's sense of humour is key, but Haggerty says there's also a deeper message about individuality and modern culture's obsession with expensive fashion.
"The more expensive the better is kind of the American way and if you spent $600 for a sweatshirt, then that makes it better," Haggerty said. "And I don't necessarily think that's the case. If it's a $600 sweatshirt that's fresh, that's fantastic if it looks great. But to me to just pay a ridiculous amount of money for something just because of the logo isn't creative and it's just unfortunate that people equate spending money to style."
