Prince George's County's drinking water is being tested as part of the Environmental Protection Agency's third survey of unregulated contaminants in the nation's drinking water, according to a news release from the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission.
WSSC is collecting and analyzing four sets of quarterly drinking water samples taken between July 2013 and April 2014. The data will go to the EPA, along with "other health information to determine if there is a potential health risk and whether any of these chemicals should be regulated in drinking water," WSSC stated.
The survey—the Unregulated Contaminants Monitoring Rule (UCMR3) program—is the third such survey ever carried out by the EPA. The previous two surveys were started in 1999 and 2007, according to WSSC's website. The EPA already has regulations for more than 90 contaminants, and these surveys help to determine if new contaminants should be added to the regulation list, WSSC's website stated.
The contaminants WSSC detected in the second quarter of the survey (last October) are similar to those found last summer—vanadium, strontium, chlorate and total chromium, according to a WSSC data table. (A fifth contaminant category, chromium-6, is listed in the table, but it is a WSSC-monitored contaminant.)
"Only four of the 28 tested contaminants were detected in drinking water in October, and all detections were at low levels... ." WSSC sampled water sources, and found that the "contaminants appear to be present in the source water at low levels," according to the WSSC news release.
But, the tests do not conclude whether or not the four contaminants are harmful. The EPA will determine that in the future, after comparing contaminant data with health information.
The EPA requires utilities to report any contaminants detected from this monitoring in annual water quality reports. Recent Maryland legislation, however, "requires WSSC to also report any contaminants detected from the quarterly sampling to the public and the county executives of Prince George's and Montgomery counties within 30 days of receiving the results," WSSC's news release added.

What causes interstitial cystitis, recommended diet, and cure
Interstitial cystitis is a urinary bladder disease, the cause of which is unknown to the science fraternity. However, several theories do exist which point towards it being an autoimmune, allergic, neurological, and/or genetic disease. What has definitely been established by various studies and research is that the quality of life for patients of interstitial cystitis compares to that of the end stage of renal failure. Regardless of the origin, interstitial cystitis leads to a damage of the bladder lining and also inhibits bladder cell proliferation, which in turn, have dangerous consequences.
Interstitial cystitis is characterized by frequent urination of as often as every ten minutes, urgency, and pain in the bladder or supra-pelvis region. Pain usually increases and decreases as the bladder fills up and empties and in some cases, even while urinating. Interstitial cystitis causes pelvic floor dysfunction making it difficult for patients to start their urine stream. Excessive urination at night, pain with sexual intercourse, difficulty in driving, traveling or working adds to the agony.
Some of the symptoms of interstitial cystitis can easily be mistaken for symptoms of a UTI often leading to a misdiagnosis. The presence of a sterile urine sample is very useful to rule out urinary tract and bladder infections.
Although the incidence of interstitial cystitis is higher in women,it can affect any individual of any age and strata of life. More and more, men are being diagnosed as having this condition belying the earlier belief that it was a condition of menopausal women only.
There are no definitive tests to diagnose interstitial cystitis and an assortment of diagnostic tests and procedures are necessary. These include analysis, culture, and cytology of urine, cystoscopy, where a flexible tube is inserted through the urethra for viewing with the aid of a viewing device, and examination of biopsy of the bladder wall, may be required. In men, a laboratory examination of prostrate secretions too may have to be done.
Interstitial cystitis does not respond effectively to antibiotics. Treatment of interstitial cystitis depends mainly on the age, health, and medical history of the patient. Consideration also has to be taken regarding tolerance to specific medication.
Managing interstitial cystitis requires certain diet modifications too although there is no scientific evidence to link it with diet. Alcohol, acidic foods, tomatoes, spices, and citrus beverages are known to aggravate bladder irritation. As such, to be on the safer side, it is better to remove such items from your diet.
Avoiding smoking and a regular regime of exercise can go a long way to give support to the strategy of urinary tract infection cure that the physician may resort to.

New IRS Commissioner John Koskinen came to Cincinnati Thursday to find out how the process of applying for 501 (c)(4) status can be more efficient and learn from employees what resources they need and what obstacles they have.
Koskinen is known as a turnaround specialist, having run Freddie Mac in the middle of the financial crisis, and guiding Penn Central Railroad and a teamsters pension fund. He was also President Clinton's Y2K czar in the late 1990s. He now aims to restore confidence in the Internal Revenue Service.
The Ohio General Assembly's House Policy and Legislative Oversight Committee met in Cincinnati Thursday to hear from people who claim they were targeted for extra scrutiny by the IRS.
Those who spoke, talked about how they had to answer pages of confusing questions that, at times, sounded like political research on their groups.
Timothy Savaglio is a member of the Liberty Township Tea Party. He says filling out the IRS's many and pointed questionnaires became like a full-time job.
Several hundred Tea Party members rallied at noon Tuesday on Fountain Square before marching to the John Weld Peck Federal Building. They held signs and chanted slogans like "you work for us" and "the IRS has got to go."
Dave Kern of Liberty Township says he came to protest the "outrageous actions" of the IRS in the recent scandal involving extra scrutiny of conservative groups applying for 501(c)(4) tax exempt status.
Larry Baker, senior partner at Grant Thornton in Cincinnati, is On the Money with Chris DeSimio to discuss tax strategies for individuals and businesses for the 2012 -2013 tax season.
A federal grand jury has indicted seven people for identity theft. U.S. Attorney Carter Stewart says six of them are citizens of Zimbabwe who lived in the Cincinnati area at one time. He says they used the stolen identities to obtain millions in fraudulent income tax returns:
"The scheme was so efficient and well planned that they often had the refunds in hand before the actual taxpayers even filed their legitimate tax returns."

A Reliability Improvement Policy, as described in the January 2008 installment of this column, along with a Plan developed, supported and administered by company leadership at all levels is essential for fueling positive changes in the maintenance and reliability process. Sustaining improvements in maintenance and reliability should be the next concern of your leadership team as it develops and deploys your Reliability Policy.
Since there is a compelling case that our business success or growth depends on the results of change efforts, sustaining positive change is fairly easy if: 1) it is not an option; and/or 2) it is a condition of employment. Why, then, do so many maintenance and reliability improvement initiatives stop or go dormant in such a short time?
Could it be that there is no honestly "compelling" reason to change? Could it be that everyone who should be leading the change process has NOT bought into it? Could it be that some are afraid of change (i.e. afraid of the unknown)? Or could it be they simply don't want to change at all? Truth is, it could be all of these reasons and more!
So, how do we sustain positive changes and innovations in maintenance and reliability in our organizations?
Sustainability of innovative work processes, be they maintenance- or operations-related, have been promoted by many purveyors and "innovators" for decades. Sometimes it is "sales hype" and other times it is wishful (or hopeful) thinking. Sustaining positive change in equipment, plant and process reliability is a must in today's highly competitive and rapidly changing global economy. Sustaining positive change depends on people—you and me, senior leaders and plant floor people, mechanics and operators, all of us—buying into the new methods, adopting them and sometimes changing our beliefs and behaviors in the workplace.
Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), Preventive Maintenance (PM), Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Operator-Performed Maintenance, Condition-Based Maintenance (CMB), Life-Cycle Costing (LCC), Lean Manufacturing, Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS), ALL represent some of the numerous changes in the ways companies, and people, take care of their equipment and facilities today. Have you seen some of your maintenance and reliability improvement programs come and go? Have you started on an improvement journey only to have it stall, go stagnant and (perhaps) even stop all together? It happens all the time in many businesses large and small all over the world.
Let's explore how individual attitudes throughout the organization, from senior leadership through plant floor employees, can affect the development and sustainability of maintenance and reliability changes in the workplace.
Individual innovativeness
Some people are more innovative, more adventurous than others. Studies over the years have shown that people embrace change or new ideas at different rates. Take for example studies done by Everett Rogers dating from the early 1960s up through the early 2000s. Rogers identified five groups of "adopters" of innovation:
When an entire organization, a company, a department or even a plant-floor crew is expected to quickly adopt innovative maintenance and reliability methods, the degree of individual innovativeness can greatly influence success and sustainability of the maintenance and reliability gains.
"Individual innovativeness" should be carefully considered when striving for sustainable breakthroughs in maintenance and reliability performance using any innovative change process or work methods. Identifying the Innovators and Early Adopters in your organization to lead maintenance and reliability innovations will be essential to your success. Seek them out. Engage them as both formal and informal leaders.
Advocates of change
In many cases transforming an organization from highly reactive or repair-based maintenance to highly planned, preventive and proactive maintenance represents a significant work culture change. John Kotter, in his book Leading Change, estimates that 85% of corporate and company CULTURE change efforts fail. In Kotter's analysis of successful and unsuccessful company change, he identified his own four categories of people:
What would happen if senior leadership chose a mix of Incubators, Apathetics and even Resisters to lead the change efforts? There wouldn't be a "snowball's chance…" of succeeding. Conversely, what if senior leadership made sure that those leading the innovations were all Advocates willing to walk the talk? There likely would be no limit to what they could accomplish.
You can see how "leadership" of any change effort easily can be influenced by the mindsets, attitudes and paradigms of those charged with heading up such an initiative in an organization. Maintenance and reliability innovation leaders also must be aware of other personal change dynamics at work in their workplace and consciously approach change accordingly.
Leading sustainable change
Creating major change can be a challenge for any size organization. But, what would happen if the change were not successful—if the desired results were not achieved and sustained? In many cases sustainability of maintenance and reliability is "a must" for business success. After years studying hundreds of businesses change efforts, successes and failures, Kotter identified the following "Eight-Stage Process for Creating Major Change." Two of the most important aspects of these eight stages are: 1) that change starts with a compelling reason to change from the status quo; and 2) that change builds on this compelling foundation, one proven stage at a time, to create lasting change.
Be cautious, however, when looking at this list of Eight. Each stage is sequential, meaning that it builds on the one(s) before it. Thus, an individual stage will not be successful if the preceding step is flawed, or incomplete.
Keep in mind, as well, that Kotter's "Guiding Coalition" is of utmost importance: The maintenance organization alone can rarely lead and deliver sustainable gains in reliability. This "Coalition" must include all of the leadership stakeholders in the business (operations, finance, maintenance, engineering, quality, safety, environmental, labor union, et al).
The bottom line for sustaining gains
Gaining senior leadership buy-in is a prerequisite to sustainable change if you believe breakthrough changes in maintenance and reliability methods are essential to ensure your business success. Sustainable gains must be led from a business perspective by senior leadership with clear expectations and accountabilities through all levels of leadership down to the individual work groups and employees.
Let's make sure that improvements in maintenance and reliability are: 1) not an option; and 2) are a condition of employment. Our business success or growth depends on it! MT

Many of my projects involve forms that require me to scan pages using OCR to capture the text and redesigning the form (new tables, new checkboxes...etc.). How can I apply a style to a group of words in the same sentence and apply a checkbox to each word followed by a capital lettered word. The checkbox font is Wingdings and the text is usually Arial. I typically use an "en space" to separate the checkbox from the text and then an "em space" to separate the following checkbox for the next word. For example:
I would like to be able to just highlight text such as:
and apply a style or some type of find/replace action that results in (see image below)
Note that:
the first checkbox has no space prior to it
the subsequent checkboxes have an "em" space prior to them with an "en" space after
the text is capitalized
I know how to apply paragraph styles to accomplish this with one term within a cell of a table. Is there anyway to accomplish this just by highlighting the terms?
Any suggestions to make this process easier and efficient would be a tremendous help! I('m using InDesign 5.5 (PC) with Win7.
Thank you in advance!!!
I recommend a combination of paragraph styles, character styles and Find/Change, although Grep styles may also work, but I'm not all that familiar with them.
I'd set a basic body paragraph style, and use a character style to change the font for the check boxes. Depending on how the text is translated by the OCR process, use Find to get to the place where you want the checkbox, and replace it with the checkbox and what ever other text is necessary (spaces, tabs, etc.). Just be sure to click the More Options on the Find/Change window and set the Change Format to the character style.
1. Create a character style for your Wingdings
2. Add a GREP style to the paragraph style you are using for these lists. Have it apply thing Wingdings style to the GREP string
3. Then, for each of your list, select it and run this GREP Find/Change on your selection. Search for:
Replace with:
\x{F072} $0
Will try! Txs. Will these also capitalize the first letter of the term (Arial capitalized)?
Another consideration is that usually the OCR doesn't recognize the checkbox but rather recognizes it as a "D" or "O". Usually I use a find/replace mechanism and do it very carefully as not to replace a proper "D" or "O".
Thank you very much!

"PREWAR PERFECTION! Everything in Jacques Prévert's script is essential—seemingly throwaway lines loop back to revelations, and shoulder shrugs sum up characters—without sacrificing an overarching, undefinable sense of operatic futility. For these outcasts, life is as heavy and elusive as the fog that never abates in this port town; and the film's greatness arises from its belief in the transcendence of impermanence, in the immortality of fleeting but true affections."
– Eric Hynes, Time Out New York
Seldom has the seedy side of life seemed so utterly seductive."
– Geoff Andrew
"DRIPS WITH PREWAR ROMANTIC FATALISM whose emblem could be Michèle Morgan's Nelly, hands stuffed into the pockets of her trench coat, its folds catching the light just so. The restoration gives renewed clarity and luster to the black-and-white mist-slicked night world of Le Havre."
– Rachel Saltz, The New York Times
(1938) "Thanks to you, I've been happy once in my life." In a lonely flophouse on a spit of land at the edge of Le Havre, outsiders converge: Jean Gabin's hungry, broke, pugnacious, probably AWOL soldier; mysterious teenager Michèle Morgan in iconic beret and plastic raincoat; cheerfully disillusioned painter Robert Le Vigan; knickknack shopkeeper Michel Simon, proclaiming his honesty and love for sacred music, but sporting one of the cinema's creepiest beards; and homme dur wannabe Pierre Brasseur, perpetually in search of the missing "Maurice." Ultimately the choice comes down to a ship out or a continuing pursuit of a sudden love, in the first of the worldwide successes of director Marcel Carné and screenwriter Jacques Prévert (Le Jour se Lève, Children of Paradise, etc.), the archetypal exemplar of pre-war poetic realism. This stunning new Studiocanal restoration features an all-new translation and subtitles by Lenny Borger. Approx. 91 min. DCP.

"The film that impressed me the most was Port of Shadows. I can still remember coming out of the theater in a daze, overcome by the beauty of Michele Morgan's eyes, her sad smile, and her trenchcoat, as well as by the poetic misty quality of the setting of the film and its tragic ending. I thought that this was a film about life as it really is, and that I had never seen anything like it before."
- Richard Roud, Rediscovering French Film
"In 1938, no film looked more revolutionary than Port of Shadows. With its opening scene of bedraggled Jean Gabin struggling down a foggy road, the very temperament of French cinema changed."
– Dudley Andrew
"Prévert's typically astute script is merely the starting point for one of the most roundly satisfying crime movies of the pre-war years; with its gallery of garrulous low-lifes, Alexandre Trauner's magically evocative sets, the melancholy mists and shadows conveyed by Eugène Schüfftan's camera, Coco Chanel's discreetly stylish costume designs and Maurice Jaubert's haunting score, the film is a wonder of collaborative artistry. The bittersweet atmosphere of fatalistic romanticism is brilliantly sustained by Carné and his cast."
– Geoff Andrew
"Dark, mysterious and shrouded in sensuous fog that Gabin's character says is part of the emotional weather he carries around with him… The dialogue by Prévert boasts glorious lines comparable to those in Children of Paradise."
– Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
"Essentially, this is Film Noir, so there's crime and romance, but both are submerged beneath a resolutely ground-level exploration of lives in crisis."
– Dave Calhoun, Time Out (London)
"Expresses so clearly (though unconsciously) the pessimistic mood of France before the 1940 debacle that Vichy spokesmen claimed, 'If we have lost the war it is because of Port of Shadows.'"
– Georges Sadoul

NBA All-Star Game helps clean up Orlando
Mark Ralston/AFP/Getty Images
Blake Griffin from the L.A. Clippers is among the all-stars heading to Orlando this weekend.
Much like Hollywood making green amends during the week leading up to the Academy Awards, the National Basketball Association is maximizing their time in Orlando, FL, the host city for this year's NBA All-Star Game.
With the game itself happening this Sunday, it was last weekend that the NBA teamed up with Sprint and city of Orlando, Keep Orlando Beautiful and Creative Recycling to present the All-Star E-Recycling event. As reported by Earth 911, the NBA set up shop last Saturday at Orlando Festival Park to collect electronic waste, including TVs, computers, mobile devices and more. The big draw was that for every car dropping off e-recyclables was given a free pair of tickets to the four-day NBA All-Star Jam Session, a massive interactive event happening this weekend. It's where fans can participate in a wide variety of activities and meet NBA stars in town for the big game.

Awkward Mom shorts. That's my summer momiform edit.
No, not really.
(wearing: tee...belt c/o Lucky Brand...shorts - old, but here's the same style in brown...sandals -awesomely comfortable...bracelets - old Chan Luu but here's my new fav and Lindsay Bloom gold bangles...backpack)
I've been playing around with different lengths of shorts...but the jury is still out, Mamas. I'm not sure I love this mid-length. I'll probably go back to rolling them up.
Anyway, my summer momiform (heck, my year-round momiform) consists of some kind of tee (give or take sleeves, depending on the season) plus denim. Like I mentioned last year in our Summer Style Rules article, I primarily rely on a cool shoe + bag combo to keep things interesting in the summer months. (If you missed it, my 2013 sandal picks are here...and bags picks are coming soon!)
But I have two accessory additions to the summer momiform this year: patterned belts and statement sunglasses.

Semarang is a city on the north coast of the island of Java, Indonesia. A major port during the Dutch colonial era, the city is known in Indonesia for its large ethnically Chinese population. Today, Semarang is a commercial port and administrative capital of Central Java. More a business center than a city for tourists, it is, however, an excellent gateway to the mountainous interior of Central Java and only some 60 miles away from world-famous Borobudur.
The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 240 days before the cruise begins for guests receiving Concierge amenities, and 180 days before the cruise begins for all other guests. Guests receiving Concierge amenities will receive a 5% discount off of the prices shown below for Regent Choice tours.
This tour provides a wonderful opportunity to see some of Semarang's most popular attractions while allowing time to shop for locally crafted souvenirs. Starting from the pier, you will first visit Semarang Old City with stop a at the beautiful Greja Blenduk, the oldest church in central Java, dating back to 1753. Built in the shape of a Greek cross, the interior of this imposing protestant Dutch church is dominated by an enormous baroque organ and pulpit. Although the organ was never able to be restored and is no longer working, it stands as a quiet reminder of the Church's glorious past.
Other sites that you will visit are Sam Poo Kong, a unique Chinese Muslim Temple, representing both religions. The imposing temple was built in honour of the Muslim Eunuch Admiral Chen Ho of the Ming Dynasty. He led the Chinese fleets during their forays throughout Asia and Java in the 15th century. The temple is well known now as the Building of Stone is because it shaped like a large stone cave located amongst the hill.
Continue on to Central Java Grand Mosque which is located in Gajah Raya Street, Semarang, Central Java, was opened 11 November 2006 and has now become a Moslem pride since the world has known of its existence.
Next you will continue to Vihara Mahavira passing Simpang square, Tugu Muda Monument (Youth Monument): a candle-shape monument commemorating Semarang's five days battle against the Japanese military in October 1945. Visit Vihara Mahavira, while enjoying the local snack before returning to the harbour where you will rejoin the ship.

Does Twitter's feed effect trump traditional media
It's arguable that in recent years, the "buzz" has overtaken traditional channels of promotion. But what about news, and journalism? Is it faster to glean the headlines from your feeds, or from the front pages of whatever eclectic mish-mash of physical and digital content providers you've gone to, regular as clockwork, for years?
If you look at the hashtags for anything from Libya to The X-Factor, it's clear as day that people are happy to inform each other and keep everyone up to speed, because what they'd tell five people around the water-cooler is now something they can tell hundreds of millions by tweeting – and both take less than a minute. In an astonishing turn around, journalism – a discipline that champions brevity and concise description above all else – has, in some aspects, been usurped by the popularity of a big old chat. Or has it?
The For
News has become stale. That's not because it's badly written, but because news, in its infancy, was about bringing people the facts as soon as possible. There's an age-old saying in print journalism that your first paragraph should contain everything someone needs to know. Not only is this common sense, but it also means that if your article gets chopped down during the editing process, it doesn't "break".
In 2011, it's possible to go one better, and present someone with an entire article's worth of information in 140 characters, which trumps content several times the length. It's said often during technological discussion, but we're becoming an extremely impatient people, and seeing "Libya liberated, Gaddafi dead" flood my feed, rather than it hitting me once at six 'o' clock – rather than taking time out to read the news during the day – is what matters, to me.
If you're a business, it also means that you're able to reach into a space you couldn't before – consumer's personal information spheres. By doing so (tweeting at them, talking to them, and generally not being an old-fashioned "we only tweet promo content and never retweet or reply) you enable yourself to impress them directly, rather than through the love-hate filter of the press.
The Against
Twitter, Facebook – they're far from perfect, and what's worse is that they're like blogs and their impact on online journalism – suddenly, everyone's an journalist, and with Twitter, everyone's an informant. As most people are a) prone to gossip, and b) not trained journalists, and will therefore proceed to repeatedly provide their followers with hearsay cast as fact, and hashtag relentlessly in order to flood key searches with irrelevant statements.
It can also be used alongside traditional journalism, or online – simply by delving into it and using it as a promotional tool, and if your business happens to deal in information, news, reviews and other media, there is no platform more prone to content going viral than social media. But to replace long-form content entirely would be a horrendous miss-step, especially given the long-established place in the media that journalism has, in comparison to the fly-by-night nature of social media – even Facebook's losing members.
It's certainly a tough topic, and I think a mix of the two is best – read your long-form stuff, but grab your water-cooler headlines from Twitter or other mediums, such as Reddit. But for those businesses who are wondering whether their product press releases are going to be required reading for anyone in the near future when we're social to a fault online, I'd keep your cards close to your chest until we see where Twitter and the like end up in 2021. Time will tell.

GreatSchools Rating
This is a great school. It is small and you truly get to know all of to know all of your teachers and classmates. It specializes in upper level classes (Pre-AP, AP, and Dual Credit) classes. I am really glad I am attending this school!
This school provides a great experience and teaches the students how to challenge themselves. If I had not gone to Silva, I would be like all the friends I left behind: slackers.
This high school is the best place for any young adult who truly wants to make a difference and prepare for college. There is no other experience like Silva and it is hard to believe that such quality education can be offered in a public school. I know that Silva is at the top places academically in the nation and there is evident proof of this. I am a former student, and I have to admit that the reason why I am achieving at college (I made Dean's List my first semester in college) is because Silva prepared me so well. You get to see, create, and experience things no other school offers. Plus the vast majority of student in this school truly care about achieving so you will find people who are just like you. Like I often tell people, at Silva, you are not judged by your looks or how you dress. No, at Silva you are mostly valued by what you have to bring to the table, by how you perform, by your ideas. In this sense, Silva is VERY competitive, but trust me, it prepares you for the "real" world. Plus, you get to meet people of different background since so many people from around the city attend. I highly recommend this school.
I do have to say I had my son in private school in middle school, when he told me he wanted to go to Sylva I was hesitant but now that he is about to be a junior I love the school as to how it challenges him,plus he is able to play sports at higher level than private schools. He is getting the best of both worlds here.
Misinformation in one review - this is not an IB school. Coronado is the only IB school in the EPISD.
Very good school. Very competitive. You don't have to be interested in Health Science to go to the school it will prepare you better for college. But a warning is if you want to be happy don't come here even if your a quiet kid your going to get lots of drama.
I love it! I am currently attending Silva. It's the best high school experience any teen can have. Everyone is so nice and kind. They actually care for you here. I couldn't ask for anything better!
This school is like a big family it is so welcoming. It has very high standards.
have very high standards and its an exemplary school
My child just love this school. she tells me every one is so friendly. Great academic.
Of all the area magnet schools Silva excels in ways no others can compare. Not only in academics and the fine arts, the students and staff make the school the unique place it is one that has allowed me as a student to prosper instead of being hindered as could have been the case elsewhere.
I love it, its a unique high school experience . Everyone is so friendly, there's no stupid high school drama, everyone knows each other its like a little community, I just love it!
semi-closed campus. Great IB program. Excellent teachers.
I am a former student of Silva Magnet and I believe that the school is a wonderful school. It just needs a better administration. There are several wonderful and great teachers, and unfortunately, due to the downsizing, many of these teachers were lost. As parents, please take into consideration of what the students say, because they are the ones who are dealing with everything everyday. But I still stand and say that Silva is a great school. Its because of it that I'm am excelling pretty well at Texas A&M University.

To encourage the preservation and adaptive use of historic buildings and cultural landscapes that represent significant embodied energy and cultural value, in a manner that preserves historic materials and character-defining features.
To achieve this credit, at least one historic building or cultural landscape must be present on the project site.
Do not demolish any historic buildings, or portions thereof, or alter any cultural landscapes as part of the project.
An exception is granted only if such action has been approved by an appropriate review body. For buildings or landscapes listed locally, approval must be granted by the local historic preservation review board, or equivalent. For buildings or landscapes listed in a state register or in the National Register of Historic Places, approval must appear in a programmatic agreement with the State Historic Preservation Office.
If any historic building in the project site is to be rehabilitated, rehabilitate in accordance with local review or federal standards for rehabilitation, whichever is more restrictive, using one of the following approaches:
- Obtain approval, in the form of a "certificate of appropriateness," from a locally appointed historic preservation commission or architectural review board for any exterior alterations or additions.
- If federal funds are used for the project, obtain confirmation from a state historic preservation office or the National Park Service that the rehabilitation satisfies the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.
- If a building or site is listed in or determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places but is not subject to federal or local review board review, include on the project team a preservation professional who meets the federal qualifications for historic architect and attests to conformance to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.

Not really, ime of resting/rehabbing my dogs, but I would seriously consult a rehab vet if its a reoccurring injury. You'd be shocked what is and is not ideal for coming back from particular injuries, I know I have been.

You were amazing, we did amazing things.
Harmony Canine, relationship based training.
Contact a rehab vet now and see what their availability is like, tell them the date of your MRI, and see what they suggest.
It is almost certain they will want you to get the MRI, and may want to schedule your appointment out until you have had the MRI done and gotten the results back.
They may suggest you come in and see if they determine anything without the MRI.
Or they may just be booked out anyway.

if a good rehab vet is anything like a good human ortho and rehab doctor, they should have a plan of action well before an MRI is done if at all except in a small number of conditions. For example, a 50 year old woman with shoulder pain and reduced ROM with failed ortho tests. Even with a full thickness tear of the Supraspinatus (rotator cuff muscle) an MRI most likely wouldn't be done until a course of other conservative care was completed. Like 4-8 months worth. whether I do it now or later really makes no difference other than to your pocketbook. If I do it now, I don't need it now, If I wait till later, I might not need it.
Where as an exam showing a tear of the subscap would be an immediate referral for MRI and surgery as that muscle retracts rather quickly and if you wait a few weeks There is no other muscle support for those actions when that muscle tendon tears like there is for the other 3 rotator muscles.
I'd go see a good rehab person before going on the advice of anybody else. Most MD's will send someone for an MRI today with drop arm sign and shoulder pain and refer right to surgery. Thats' 20 year old thinking. It takes a while for non specialists to catch up. right or wrong, it's how it is.
Agree with everyone, get to a rehab vet. Many, many years ago, Petie hit an agility jump standard, yelped, limped and 30 seconds later was fine. I stopped all training and with my race horse experience watched him like a hawk. Yep saw he was slightly off, made an appointment with my vet. Vet said my dog was fine, refused to take any x rays and told me to carry on as normal.
I walked out highly annoyed at myself for going to a regular vet in the first place, wasting my money. Took him to sports med vet/chiro, had x rays done which showed his pelvis was out by almost a 1/4 inch. We continued with crate rest, meds, hand walking and chiropractic adjustments for 2 months. Then slowly increased with a very careful conditioning program and rehab with continued vet care for another 3 months. He has never been lame on it since. And he competed to a national level and did well in agility until he was 13 yrs of age. Injury happened when he was a year old.
It is the same with racehorses and performance horses...skip the local vet and head to the specialists, in the end it is faster and cheaper.
I can say that it took 4 different vets to finally diagnose LoLa. My regular vet, an ortho, a sport/rehab vet and a chiropractor. You bet your ass as soon as she started limping, we did some major resting and other things till we pin pointed the exact problem.
A limping puppy is one that I'd be very careful with. Doesn't matter how long they limped it matters that it is happening, any of mine would be going to s sport vet asap and would have a treatment plan in place NOW. I live 2 1/2-4 hours from the nearest ortho or sports rehab vet. It saved my dogs life going to them cause she was so bad off within 2 weeks, I wasn't sure what would happen. It all started with a little limp that was carefully addressed from the beginning, had I been non chalant, it could have ended my dogs life.

RTH has a VERY good point; a good rehab vet consult is going to be a LOT cheaper than an MRI and may result in better outcomes, too. Last I checked MRIs are several grand and that's without a treatment plan for whatever you find on MRI.

You were amazing, we did amazing things.
Harmony Canine, relationship based training.
Talked to my agility trainers and decided a second opinion/rehab/sports vet would be a good idea first... Got a great referral the other day to a place about an hour and a half north of here, did some research on the doctor there that specializes in sports medicine and rehab, and called this morning. Only to find out that she had emergency back surgery this week and is going to be out of practice until June at the earliest. So, they took my information anyway and are going to see if they can't find another doctor within a couple hours from me that does the same thing.
I'm going to check the other link now for vets and see what that gives me.
eta; found another vet through Boston's link... got an appointment for Monday about an hour North. We'll see how this goes!

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is all very quixotic, Professor Lurie, but can you afford it?We've started going over the terms of tragedy in one of my classes, working through the definition before setting off on our reading of Othello. One of these delineations uttered by my professor went along the lines of the difference between 'unfortunate accident' and 'tragedy', the death of the main character's lover and said main character's succumbing to a fatal flaw, respectively. I say, if that is indeed the linguistic case, one must put more effort into identifying when a tragedy is not ineptly fueled by too many flippantly composed unfortunate accidents. Women in Refrigerators Syndrome, a particularly rampant example of the old adages of esteemed literature working themselves out in unacceptably lazy fashions.
As much as I love literature, I know better than to look to the pasts calcified in both deed and color for a lifelong methodology. The past is a different country, and this disgraced David Lurie is a dinosaur of the worst sensibilities. Despicable, and yet quiet, riding the degraded rails of an older world in a passable sort of grace so long as his mum's the word, exemplifying one of my main tenets for the freedom of speech: there is no change without communication. Communication isn't moral or immoral. Humanity is, and will not learn the difference between the two if interchange is in any way restricted.
Lurie is restricted. The use of the phrase 'political correctness' in the summary, right there at the forefront of what countless use to determine whether they will read this book or not, says that plainly. If that doesn't prove it, his later actions confirm without a doubt. Hypocrisy, double standard, bigotry. The same old words, the same old story, the only difference being in how Coetzee handles this fallen hero of his, this old geezer who spends people as easily as money, especially women. For there is no sympathy here for any of that, and woe to any fed full on the public bursting of that usual single souled rot who have come here expecting more of the same. If you find yourself in concurrence with this David Lurie, well. You said it, not me.
In that manner, Disgrace fails to be a tragedy. The main character is dislikeable on an instinctive level, enough that his supposed fall from grace appears as obviously very much his fault and his alone. Appears, as it is true by technicality that he is "overcome by a combination of social and psychological circumstances". Appears, as this is my personal reception of this piece, and if you've been reading me long enough you know where my biases lie, and how I feel the need to express them. So, perhaps not so much a failure of a tragedy after all, but one that snips away at the base of ancient definition and shreds the decrepit ways of black and white to pieces. For there is black and white here as well, but in a sense that is constantly straining to escape the usual context, never offering the same meaning twice to both reads and rereads. A favorite facet of mine.
Much as the idea of ending the review with only Lurie having been discussed to any extent annoys me, I don't have much to say in terms of the other characters. Then again, I usually don't have much to say about characters in general, so it is most likely an inevitable side effect of the single standpoint of narration. Be sure, though, that the refrigerated women will have their say.
Also, the tragedy. All that hamminess in the limelight that never extended the fault outside of the characters and into the author. Despite the cloying ease with which the text spools out, it remains clear at every instant that Coetzee is not writing himself out in some pleading exercise of explanation. A breath of fresh air, in a convoluted, reflexive sense of the phrase.
Redemption, you ask? Mm. Depends on your predilection for happy endings, as well the structure of the story itself. If you wish to redeem any of them, you would needs deliver Lurie first and foremost. It's only fitting in the linguistic sense of this tale. Whether 'tis fair or just or correct is another matter entirely.
Written well enough, but what an awful, awful story.
The father never saw the connection between what he did and what happened to his daughter. This book is set in Africa but felt like it could by anywhere. There was no transportation into another culture or world.
Throughout its entirety there is always a measure of wrestling, and therefore impossibly hard to pin down in the order of boxing this novel Disgrace into a neat and manageable package. I am afraid the book insists on speaking for itself. But I shall hazard a guess that many who have not read it yet have not for the same reasons I did. If someone earlier had told me in a review or in conversation that Disgrace would surprise me with a continuous or repeating sucker punch, and consistently knock me out, I may have taken a look before now. But all I knew about the book before was it having something or other to do with an aging twice-divorced professor engaging in an illicit affair with a student more than thirty years his junior, and I have already read all about that stuff enough to last the rest of my lifetime. To discount the book in this manner is not only wrong it is stupid.
The language Coetzee uses in this novel is simple and direct. The story is straight-forward and runs at a smooth and quickened pace though never seeming rushed. What does occur almost spontaneously in the relaxed reading is a series of constant surprises in the plot, plot being something that interests me on occasion but never a necessary requirement to my reading. But I never could get comfortable for very long as it constantly thickened, evolved, or disintegrated. Of course, Coetzee would eventually return responsibly to the text until he had made a complete circle that did nothing on the order of making your head spin but instead cautioned one to engage in even deeper thought.
There was no whining social agenda in the book, nothing pathetically irritating and predictable, but relevant societal issues were always at the forefront. Throughout the novel some form of adultery, lewd sexual behavior, marriage, rape, relationship, abortion, homosexuality, racism, bigotry, intolerance, larceny, parenting, and love was always present but never made the issue or the main reason for the text. In other words, the reader was left to consider everything individually as they occurred and decide on which side to stand on or to ignore, but with haste as the turns came quick and cutting. It wasn't until the very end of the novel that I realized the extent of Coetzee's simple message and the rewarding pleasure I received in discovering it.
I have a tendency to take my time while reading anything, and typically enjoy a stack of six to eight books I read concurrently. However, this novel possessed me to such a degree I finished it quickly as it took precedence over all my other required readings of the day. I could not recommend a novel more to anyone desiring a sophisticated read with a good story that provides the reader with a great deal to think about regarding ones own life and how to proceed in the living of it.
I was surprised and stunned to read a late twentieth century novel about an older man's sexual misadventures, and the crushing of them by a foolish society for the first time, but once I reached the eight gazillionth novel involving this 'plot' it got kind of tired. Thankfully there's something else going on in Disgrace; Lurie isn't so much guilty of having a sex drive as he is of being on the wrong end of history's stick. It's not that he gets what he deserves by being beaten up, set on fire, and having his daughter raped. It's just an it is what it is situation, for which he tries to atone by caring for dogs. If that sounds fatuous, it's much better in the book. His daughter atones in other ways.
Readers may be shocked to learn that poor people are resentful of the rich people who've been bitch-slapping them for a generation; that the rich people don't just lie down and take it; and so on. Who would've thought? Good on JMC for making it clear.
(slight digression on Coetzee's naming his characters. They're all ridiculous, like 19th century novels, but without the satirical intent as far as I can see. 'Costello,' for those who don't know Australian politics, is the beloved/reviled ex-treasurer. In Slow Man, 'Hansen' runs over the old man. Pauline Hansen is the straight out reviled far-right nutbag of our country, like Sarah Palin but far, far less intelligent. Academics get named 'Marx', for instance. Here, a 'disciple' of Wordsworth has called his daughter Lucy; someone thinks Lucy's girlfriend, who abandons Lucy, is called 'Grace.' Honestly? Honestly?)
The book is written with Coetzee's accustomed steely restraint, and is, like all his work, a masterpiece of understatement. However, there is here what seems a new note of authorial irritation, not only, as might be expected, with the perennial intractability of language and the constraints of the novel form, but with the social changes that are occurring in his country, and in the world at large.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0143115286, Paperback)David Lurie is hardly the hero of his own life, or anyone else's. At 52, the protagonist of Disgrace is at the end of his professional and romantic game, and seems to be deliberately courting disaster. Long a professor of modern languages at Cape Town University College, he has recently been relegated to adjunct professor of communications at the same institution, now pointedly renamed Cape Technical University:
Although he devotes hours of each day to his new discipline, he finds its first premise, as enunciated in the Communications 101 handbook, preposterous: "Human society has created language in order that we may communicate our thoughts, feelings and intentions to each other." His own opinion, which he does not air, is that the origins of speech lie in song, and the origins of song in the need to fill out with sound the overlarge and rather empty human soul.Twice married and twice divorced, his magnetic looks on the wane, David rather cruelly seduces one of his students, and his conduct unbecoming is soon uncovered. In his eighth novel, J.M. Coetzee might have been content to write a searching academic satire. But in Disgrace he is intent on much more, and his art is as uncompromising as his main character, though infinitely more complex. Refusing to play the public-repentance game, David gets himself fired--a final gesture of contempt. Now, he thinks, he will write something on Byron's last years. Not empty, unread criticism, "prose measured by the yard," but a libretto. To do so, he heads for the Eastern Cape and his daughter's farm. In her mid-20s, Lucy has turned her back on city sophistications: with five hectares, she makes her living by growing flowers and produce and boarding dogs. "Nothing," David thinks, "could be more simple." But nothing, in fact, is more complicated--or, in the new South Africa, more dangerous. Far from being the refuge he has sought, little is safe in Salem. Just as David has settled into his temporary role as farmworker and unenthusiastic animal-shelter volunteer, he and Lucy are attacked by three black men. Unable to protect his daughter, David's disgrace is complete. Hers, however, is far worse.
There is much more to be explored in Coetzee's painful novel, and few consolations. It would be easy to pick up on his title and view Disgrace as a complicated working-out of personal and political shame and responsibility. But the author is concerned with his country's history, brutalities, and betrayals. Coetzee is also intent on what measure of soul and rights we allow animals. After the attack, David takes his role at the shelter more seriously, at last achieving an unlikely home and some measure of love. In Coetzee's recent Princeton lectures, The Lives of Animals, an aging novelist tells her audience that the question that occupies all lab and zoo creatures is, "Where is home, and how do I get there?" David, though still all-powerful compared to those he helps dispose of, is equally trapped, equally lost.
Disgrace is almost willfully plain. Yet it possesses its own lean, heartbreaking lyricism, most of all in its descriptions of unwanted animals. At the start of the novel, David tells his student that poetry either speaks instantly to the reader--"a flash of revelation and a flash of response"--or not at all. Coetzee's book speaks differently, its layers and sadnesses endlessly unfolding. --Kerry Fried
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:33:04 -0400)
At fifty-two Professor David Lurie is divorced, filled with desire but lacking in passion. An affair with one of his students leaves him jobless and friendless. Except for his daughter, Lucy, who works her smallholding with her neighbor, Petrus, an African farmer now on the way to a modest prosperity. David's attempts to relate to Lucy, and to a society with new racial complexities, are disrupted by an afternoon of violence that changes him and his daughter in ways he could never have foreseen. In this wry, visceral, yet strangely tender novel, Coetzee once again tells "truths [that] cut to the bone." (The New York Times Book Review)… (more)

I would recommend them to anyone. They were on time, professional and completed the job with no breakage.
We simply hired them to load a POD that we were having transported from Nashville, TN to Austin, TX. They were able to load our entire household (900 sq. ft.) into one POD. They took apart tables and wrapped them in plastic for safe transport and even placed certain boxes near the entrance for quick availability at our request.
I would definitely hire them again. Bummer for the folks that had a bad experience but mine was great. Also, since you're reading this, my experience with PODS was really good too. Not one single broken item. Bye Nashville! :)
Horrible Moving Company! It's a good thing we cancelled their service. WE already set up the time with them to come and we specifically notified them that it would be a short distance move. Less than 24 hours before the scheduled move, their person calls us and tells that it's a 3-hour minimum. WE are moving less than 1 mile away and we just need them for the large furniture, what would they charge 3 hours for? We cancelled them right away when the person was calling and scheduled a different company to pick up our furniture. I got this impression that they call you the last minute and people who are supposed to move out the next day, just stick with their awful service because they need the furniture out the next day. But we have at least one week ahead and we had time to make better arrangements. We scheduled Bo's company and they will be here tomorrow morning and there's no minimum as to the hours.
Don't use them...enough said – A member of their moving crew sexually harassed my wife, though verbal statements and obscene gestures. Do I really need to say more?
Any kind of company who hires people like this should not be in business.
do not use – My moving day was scheduled with this "family owned" company for 8am on a Friday. The movers arrived at 5pm. In between were many calls to All My Sons, where a contact kept saying, "they are coming."
The 2 guys were part time workers who were not salaried or given health insurance/worker's comp benefits.
I have told MANY people about my bad experience with this company.
Do not use if you are moving in the Nashville area – I moved in early April out of the Nashville area and used All My Sons Moving. I had used them on a previous move to the Nashville area about 2 years ago and couldn't be happier. They were very professional and moved me in a timely manner. Too bad you can't say the same for the Nashville base. When the movers showed up they were late and then they proceded to make personal calls and talk about their weekend. It took them 3 hours to load a 1 bedroom apt that was completely packed and ready to go. Then when they finally arrived at the destination my boyfriend had to help them unload the truck because they were taking so long and still talking on the phone. When you are paying someone $150 an hour to move your stuff you would assume they could do the job without all the personnal calls. When I called the managment they said there was nothing they could do and all the personnal phone calls were actually phone calls from dispatch. Well may be they were if the movers tell dispatch they love them when they get off the phone. Well there is something I can do and that is tell everyone not to use this moving service. They are very unprofessional and take advantage of you through their estimates. I would suggest finding someone else.
Worst ever – Please go to Better Bussiness Bureau first and check them out, I wish I did. The company misquoted me, left one whole room still filled with furniture which my husband had to move, left a door off the hinge, left refrigerated food out in the hot summer sun. Destroyed more than one piece of furniture and a expensive coffee maker. That is just some of the diasters. My friend was also moved with them and had the same experience. Please check them out first. In my opinion they write a lot of their own reviews.
excellent movers – I feel like all of these reviews are speaking about another moving company. I had a fairly large move, 4,500 sq foot house to Florida and I have never had such a great experience with a moving company. The movers were on time, polite, and careful. They helped us to pack everything and the price was exactly what we were quoted! Great experience I would recommend them to everyone!
Great Experience – I recently moved from Hermitage to Brentwood and am SO happy I chose ALL MY SONS. They send an estimator out to my house ahead of time, who was extremely courteous (he even took off his shoes before he came in!) and helpful in determining how much my move would cost.
His estimate was very accurate and the crew they sent were both nice and VERY careful and efficient.
I have had horrible moving experiences before but am recommending anybody try ALL MY SONS. All you have to do is have an estimator come out beforehand to see what I'm talking about. Thanks again guys!
Managers try to rip you off, but the actual movers were nice – We needed one piece of heavy furniture moved up into a different area of our house. We went with All my Sons because they had the cheapest hourly rate, and the job would only take an hour MAX. The movers came, and moved the dresser and it literally took them FIVE minutes to get it upstairs and where we wanted it- We agreed beforehand to pay 98.00 for the hour, and when we went to pay they said we owed 178.00!!!! Even though we had called the previous DAY and agreed upon the 98 bucks! We then called the manager who tried to charge us for an HOUR'S worth of driving, (before they even showed up, in my book I am not paying for any job before it even starts!) and the headquarters is only 15 minutes away!! Even the guys who were moving our stuff couldn't believe how ridiculous the manager was being! After we confronted the manager about this supposed hour's worth of driving, he agreed not to charge us immediately ( I guess he hoped we were new to the area so he could rip us off and realized he couldn't after he figured out we knew where he was). Overall, the MOVING part of the experience was fine and the guys who did it were very nice but the managers tried to rip us off. BEWARE ANYONE NEW TO THE AREA DON'T LET THEM OVER CHARGE YOU!
We were vey impressed with the crew! – The move went very smoothly. They were very polite, careful, and cooperative at all times. They followed instructions and did exactly what we wanted them to do. We were impressed with the crew!
