We had a family reunion at this beautiful house this past July. We all had a wonderful time. The decks were used continuously as the kids and guys fished off the dock. The spaciousness of the house was very comfortable for our group. We would love to come back for another stay!Recommended for: Age 55+, girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, sightseeing.

Thank you for opening your beautiful home to our family. My husband and I shared your home with my sister, aunt, cousin and family. We had a wonderful time together seeing since we don't get to see each other often. The house was very clean and the pictures on the website are very acurate. Your home is located in a beautiful area on the canal. We did not do much in Rockport (rained some of the time), went to the beach a couple of times. Mainly stayed at the house and fished or tried to (haha) and cooked out. Made some amazing fajita's and hamburgers on the grill. We have definaltely found our extended home in Key Allegro. Be back soon. Thanks Again.Recommended for: Age 55+, girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.

I want to thank you and your family for allowing us to use your beautiful home for the holidays. The house was perfect. I can't tell how much I appreciated all the cooking equipment you have - it was by far the most well stocked rental we have ever had. Fishing was pretty good - kids had a great time and the weather was perfect. All the stores in town were open which has not always been so that was fun to pick up last minute Texas trinkets. Everything in the house worked perfect. Kids want to do this again next year - can't decide if they want to come for Christmas or Thanksgiving, but I hope we can rent your home again. Thanks again - Happy New Year. Ann WynnDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Our family spent two weeks in this gorgeous home. The first week was with friends and the second with family. We hung out, fished off the dock (only caught a few hard heads, but not complaining, we didn't want to clean them!), went to Rockport and Port Aransas beaches. The community pool here wonderful, it never had more than a couple of people there and was well cared for. Shell beach (a small little area up at the breakers) was great - I don't think I'd let the kids swim there, but we went up there several nights looking for good shells. The balcony is perfect in the morning to relax and begin the day - the lower deck had lots of seating and was great for chilling out at with a nice drink in the evenings. Rockport is a great little town and we cannot wait to return - and stay in this beautiful home again. Thank you to the owners for sharing. PS. We highly recommend Panjo's Pizza in town - best pizza we've ever had)Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

The Latics have plenty to think about right now in terms of the Barclays Premier League, in which they are second-bottom with 12 games to go, three points adrift of safety.
And for the clash with the Terriers, who have been struggling in the npower Championship, Martinez has indicated he is likely to hand another opportunity to some fringe players that have come into the side for previous cup games.
The Spaniard is keen to stress, though, that having reached this stage of the competition for the first time since 1987, Wigan are very much ready to give their all in the match at the John Smith's Stadium.
Continued progression in the cup is something Martinez is eager to see - and believes will only prove beneficial for his team's league form.
"We are not taking the opportunity of being involved in the fifth round of this cup competition lightly, and also we are taking this as a game to help us find our best form in the league," Martinez - yet to oversee a top-flight win in 2013 - said.
"I don't think both competitions should pull against each other.
"It is the opposite - they both should help the team in the same direction.
"The players are desperate to enjoy their challenge, and we would like to include the FA Cup in this vital group of games where we are looking to finish the season on a high."

Update: APA Chief Resigns After Computer Scandal
Aug 12, 2005 — UPDATE: The head of the Adirondack Park Agency resigned Friday after being accused of using his office computer to download and share images of nude women. Dan Fitts submitted his resignation following two stormy days of meetings in Speculator. The APA board was considering disciplinary action. Four other employees were accused by the state Inpsector General's office of using government computers to download and share "improper" photos of women. It's unclear whether they will be reprimanded. Fitts, who lives in Lake Placid, has led the Agency as executive director for ten years. As Martha Foley reports, the case has been a major distraction for the agency. One member of the board called it "brutal". Go to full article

Audio Postcard from the Sacandaga River
Sep 24, 2002 — It's possible to grow up--and grow old--in a North Country town, never quite noticing its treasures.

The project reconnected him with his community and with his own history. Brian Mann spent a morning with Paul Wilbur and sends this audio postcard.

TWINS THOUGHTS and a SAPPY STORY
First thing today, I'd like to point to the hit counter on the left of the screen. It has officially passed the 5,000 hit point, in less than 3 months. That's pretty exciting for me. I want to thank all of you who have frequented this site. I really hope you enjoy reading this, because I enjoy having a forum to voice my opinions and thoughts. Please be sure to tell your friends about the site as well. We have added a link on the left also where you can send me an e-mail and Subscribe to a weekly update. Basically, that will simply be an e-mail of the week's highlights from this page. Be sure also to check out the Archives page to see what other topics I have covered. Thanks again to you all!
The Twins really needed to sweep the Indians in the short, two-game series. Last night, Brad Radke struggled in the first inning, giving up a 3-run home run to Ryan Ludwick. After that, Radke really settled down and was able to go through the 7th inning without giving up another run.
The Twins came back in the top of the 3rd inning, scoring 3 unearned runs on 3 Indians errors. You can thank the Indians defense, but I have another theory. The 'Circle Me Bert' phenomena finally helped. Before that half-inning, Bert circled a sign of Twins fans from Perham, MN. Those of you who have frequented this site know that that is where I am from, the town I lived in through college. Now those people weren't pictured for long enough for me to know if I knew them, but still… is this just a coincidence that the Twins were able to score three runs during the inning that my hometown was circled? I think not!
In the act of being a fair journalist, I have to point out a couple of things that two players that I have been really hard on did right last night to create a run that proved to be the game-winner.! In the 7th, with runners on first and second and nobody out, Dustan Mohr took the saying "if first you don't succeed, try, try again" to heart. He didn't get the bunt down the first two pitches, but was successful on the third, getting the runners to second and third.
Then Cristian Guzman hit a pop up to the outfield grass that Torii Hunter tagged up on and scored. Because the infield was playing up, John McDonald had to go a long ways to make the catch. Despite the efforts of Bert Blyleven and Dick Bremer to convince us otherwise, I never saw a conclusive reply showing that Torii Hunter ever touched the plate. From every angle I saw, Hunter's hand was on top of Laker's spike until it was past home plate. It was a tough call, but I do think Tim Laker was right!
Although Torii Hunter is not hitting much at all this year, and really doing poorly in "clutch" situations, we can not question his effort. Maybe he's trying to do too much! The play at home illustrated just how hard he is playing. He's still playing an amazing, Gold Glove centerfield.. He's still playing hard! I won't question his effort, or really the effort of most of the Twins. (with the possible exceptions of Rick Reed and Cristian Guzman)
I got some flack regarding yesterday's post on the handling of the Twins prospects, but also heard from many that agreed with me. Take a look at it and let me know what you think?
By the way, be sure to check out an article from yesterday's Cleveland Plain Dealer that explains "The Hunter Zone". Certainly an interesting concept, and actually one that I agree is truth.
Radke was great through 7. Hawkins was great in the 8th and Eddie Guardado picked up save #28 with a clean ninth. That's the way we all envisioned this team's success this season. Starter goes 7, Hawkins pitches the 8th, and Eddie closes the door in the 9th. That equation hasn't happened much this year, until lately. Brad Radke has been great his last 5 or 6 starts. Johan Santana has been even better. Kyle Lohse appears to have turned it around again. Kenny Rogers has been solid. Hopefully Joe Mays can be effective in his return to the rotation. The starting pitching is the key to the Twins success. Hopefully they've turned a corner in time!
The Twins went into Cleveland and did exactly what they needed to do, swept the Indians. They also got help from the Yankees, who swept the Royals. However, the White Sox completed a sweep of the Angels, meaning the Twins are just ½ game behind both the Royals and White Sox for the lead in the AL Central. It's going to be a race!!!
That sets up quite a series for the Twins the next 4 days. It should be very fun to watch. It should be played with great intensity! Good thing Rick Reed is on the Disabled List!!
Tonight, Kenny Rogers will pitch against the Royals Paul Abbott. On this date in 1990, thirteen years ago today, Paul Abbott made his major league debut, as a member of the Minnesota Twins against the Royals. Does this mean anything? A little extra knowledge for you- In that same game, a pitcher named Jim Campbell made his major league debut as he started the game for the Royals. Abbott took the loss in an 8-7 game. Hopefully tonight, he will take the loss again!
I was told of a great article on Joe Mauer from the New Britain Rockcats homepage. I read it last night and it truly is a great, complete article. Everything you'd want to know about Joe Mauer! Click here to check it out!
Last night, Michael Cuddyer hit a 13th inning, two-run home run to win a game for the AAA Rochester Redwings.
And finally, just so you know, Todd Zeile signed with the Montreal Expos, so he won't be a Twin after all.
Any thoughts on the Twins, e-mail me.
I'd also like to say a special Happy Birthday to former major league pitcher John Henry Johnson. You may ask, WHO?
Johnson pitched for 8 seasons in the major leagues from 1978-1987. He compiled a career record of 26-33 record, 9 saves, with an ERA of 3.90. He played for the A's, Rangers, Red Sox and Brewers.
So again, I'm sure you're asking, why would Seth even bring up this man's name?
I went to a game with my family when I was young. The Twins were playing the Red Sox at the Metrodome. Since John Henry Johnson was with the Red Sox in 1983 or 1984, I would have been 8 or 9 years old at the time. I was standing down the third base line watching batting practice when a ground ball was hit near me. As a player came to shag the ball, I did as every other 8 or 9 year old kid would do, yell at the guy 'Gimme the ball'. I really hope I said "please" because watching fans be so rude during batting practice is really annoying to me now. But anyway, that player was John Henry Johnson. He reached down to pick up the ball, and again I asked for it. He looked at me, and as he turned back toward the field, he said, "Well, I ran this far…" He turned back to me, and flipped me the ball. I'm sure my jaw dropped. And, I really hope I said, "Thank you!"
That was my one experience getting a ball during batting practice. That was exciting. I mean, that was 19 or 20 years ago, and I can still remember it vividly. I also remember taking the ball over to the Twins dugout and got 3 or 4 autographs on it. Actually, I now remember it was in 1984, because one of the players who autographed the ball was Kirby Puckett, and he didn't debut with the Twins until 1984.
One of the other players to sign the ball was Dave Engle. He was an All-Star for the Twins that year. I remember being by the dugout and dropping the ball to him and asking if he'd sign it for me. He looked at it and said, "That's a good ball. We can use it!" He proceeded to move as if he was going to drop the ball in their ball bag. I almost cried! But then he said, "Just kidding" and signed it for me.
So you ask, where is that ball? Boy, do I wish I knew! I'm assuming that we went out and played catch with it. I would love to still have that ball. I'd have it in one of those protective holders and hold it in a prominent spot of my place. Sell it? Are you kidding? I would never even consider it!
But anyway, Thanks again, and Happy 47th Birthday to John Henry Johnson!
That's it for today! Hopefully there will be great things to talk about tomorrow. Hopefully I can talk about a Twins win over the Royals, coupled with a White Sox loss to the Texas Rangers, and the Twins being in first place for the first time in a long time!!!
Any thoughts or comments, feel free to send me an e-mail.
Have a great Thursday!

If you encounter this problem again you could use this tool to check what is causing the problem. http://windowsxp.mvps.org/temp/GetOp...oardWindow.zip Unzip and run the tool. Post back what it reports. For best results, run this utility during the time you encounter the Copy\Paste problem. It is a direct download and I ran three malware scans on it and they all came up "clean" It does say windowsxp, but ran fine on my machine and reported no problems. |

New York Jets 2012: 6 Newcomers Who Will Make Immediate Impacts This Season
By Matt Barbato ,
Head Coach Rex Ryan hopes his new additions will help get the Jets back into the playoffs
The 2011-2012 season ended in disappointment for the New York Jets.
After two straight appearances in the AFC Championship game, the Jets finished 8-8 and failed to make the playoffs. The team's problems were not just their play on the field, as head coach Rex Ryan lost control of his locker room which culminated in an in-huddle argument between wide out Santonio Holmes and right tackle Wayne Hunter.
Over the offseason, Ryan and general manager Mike Tannenbaum have made it a point to bring in guys who will help the team on the field and inside the locker room. I will give you six of these additions who will make an immediate impact for the Jets this upcoming season.
Last season, former offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer's offense was predictable and relied far too much on underachieving quarterback Mark Sanchez.
Schottenheimer was fired and Ryan replaced him with Sparano, who can get the Jets offense back into the "ground and pound" first system. In his four seasons as head coach for the Miami Dolphins, Sparano's teams were ranked in the top 15 in rushing attempts each season, according to pro-football-reference.com.
Sparano is also famous for being the father of the unconventional Wildcat offense, which was a large part of the Dolphins' 11-5 season in 2008. Sparano's presence should also affect the production of running back Shonn Greene, who eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark for the first time in his career last season.
Sparano should be able to get the Jets' running game back on track and can add another dimension to the offense with the Wildcat.
The first player who I expect to make an immediate impact for the Jets this season is rookie defensive end Quinton Coples.
Coples, a freakish athlete from North Carolina, was the Jets first-round pick in this year's draft. He recorded 114 tackles and 17.5 sacks in two seasons with the Tar Heels, and has an abundance of potential in the NFL. Coples is very versatile, and can rush from both the inside and the outside on the line.
There have been questions about his motor and his character, but Rex Ryan is a players' coach, and he always finds a way to get the best out of his defense.
If Rex can get the most out of Coples, his talent and athleticism will be a great asset to a defensive line that needs to improve in the sack department.
The next key addition to the Jets is also a rookie, wide receiver Stephen Hill.
Hill was the Jets' second-round draft pick and played in a triple-option offense at Georgia Tech. He only caught 28 passes for the Yellow Jackets, but did accumulate 820 yards and five touchdowns.
Although Hill had few opportunities to thrive at Georgia Tech, his potential is unlimited. Like Coples, he is an unbelievable athlete. He is 6'4", and ran the 40-yard dash in an impressive 4.36 seconds. His raw ability allowed the Jets to overlook his lackluster statistics when they drafted him.
Hill will also have a chance to make it on the field right away. Outside of Santonio Holmes, the Jets receiving core is very thin, and Hill will have a great opportunity to play Week 1. His speed and height will make him a great target for Mark Sanchez, and will free up Santonio Holmes from getting double teamed by opposing defenses.
With his outstanding natural abilities and the weak group assembled at the wide receiver position, Hill not only can succeed, he must succeed.
Although the Jets will be a run-first offense, they must prove that they can throw the football. Defenses will load up seven or eight men in the box and dare Sanchez to make a play. Hill can be the playmaker that will keep opposing defenses honest and help the running game thrive.
The Jets defense is primarily known for their shutdown cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie. Adding hard-hitting safety LaRon Landry adds a physical side to the Jets' secondary.
Landry has racked up over 80 tackles three times in his five seasons with the Washington Redskins, but missed half of last season because of an injured left Achilles tendon.
When Landry is healthy, he is an absolute menace on the field. He is one of the biggest hitters in the league and is not afraid to drill someone. Although he has only four interceptions in his career, he can cause numerous problems for an offense and can prevent big plays with his excellent tackling skills.
Landry will fit in very well with the Jets' schemes and blitz packages. Ryan loves to pressure the quarterback, and has the luxury of blitzing defensive backs because of Revis and Cromartie. Landry has more sacks in his career than interceptions, and he could get multiple sacks for the Jets this season.
If Landry can stay healthy, the Jets could have the best secondary in the league. Although he does not get a lot of interceptions, he can force many turnovers with his hard hits and his relentless pass rush.
Landry has the ability to be the MVP of the defense if he can stay healthy and bring his tenacity to the Jets.
To find our next Jet who will make a big impact this season, look no further than LaRon Landry's partner at safety, Yeremiah Bell.
Bell, a nine-year veteran, is very much like Landry. He doesn't get a lot of turnovers, but he still affects the offense by what he can do on the field. Bell had over 100 tackles the past four seasons for the Miami Dolphins and also played every game in those four seasons.
Unlike Landry, Bell is very durable and will probably be on the field in every game for the Jets. Like Landry, he can cause havoc in the opponent's backfield with his excellent tackling and rare pass-rushing ability for a safety. In fact, Bell had as many sacks last season as Ray Lewis did (although Lewis only played in 12 games for Baltimore).
Because of Revis and Cromartie's presence, the Jets were able to grab two safeties who can be used more in blitz packages along with being the last line of defense in coverage.
Expect Bell and Landry to rack up the tackles and maybe even get three or four sacks this season, along with a couple of turnovers.
With Revis, Cromartie, Landry, and Bell, the Jets' secondary could be even better than it has been in the past few seasons, and in today's NFL, a good secondary is nice, but a great one can change games.
I hope I didn't get your hopes up about a New York Jets article that didn't have to do with Tim Tebow.
But Tebow is an impact player for an offense that desperately needs one. Even if Tebow does not land the starting quarterback job, he can still make a difference when he plays in the certain Wildcat formations that the Jets have created for him.
Tebow has definitely made an impact on the New York media, but how much of an impact can he make if he isn't getting the starting reps? It's bigger than you might think.
First off, Tebow can be a great red-zone quarterback because of his combination of size and speed and his nose for the end zone. When Tebow is in the game, he also can enhance the running game as a whole because defenses will have to focus on his abilities, which could free up Shonn Greene to run wild.
Most importantly, Tebow's presence could give Mark Sanchez the wake-up call he desperately needed.
Until this season, Sanchez never had a backup that could have threatened him for the starting position (unless you call Mark Brunell a threat). But now, with the ever-so-popular Tebow breathing down his neck, Sanchez's status as the starter is in great jeopardy.
And have you seen the Jets first five games of this season? Buffalo, @Pittsburgh, @Miami, San Francisco. and finally Houston. If the Jets get off to a slow start, Met Life Stadium could be chanting Tebow's name by Week 5.
Hopefully it does not come to that, but if it does, Tebow's role could be greatly enhanced. He would be the focal point of a below average offensive unit, but could steal the Jets some games in the fourth quarter, just like he did as a Bronco.
And this season, the Jets may need every miracle they can get.

GLOBAL MARKETS-Oil hits six-month high, shares fall on Syria fears
- Tweet
- Share this
* Brent crude jumps to 6-month peak, gold at 3-1/2 month high
* World shares fall to 7-week low, U.S. stocks seen steadier
* Turkish lira, Indian rupee hit record lows
LONDON, Aug 28 (Reuters) - The prospect of Western military action against Syria hit emerging market assets hard, pushed oil to a six-month high and sent world shares sliding for a second day on Wednesday.
In the scramble for safety investors turned to gold, which hit a 3-1/2 month peak above $1,430 an ounce, and bought the dollar on a view that it was the ultimate refuge from the risks of intensified upheaval in the Middle East.
Emerging markets, such as Syria's neighbour Turkey, already being pummelled by an expected reduction in U.S. stimulus measures, took further hits. The Turkish lira and India's rupee both touched record lows against the dollar.
The moves stem from signs the United States and its allies are gearing up for a strike against President Bashar al-Assad's forces, blamed for last week's chemical weapons attacks, which traders fear could prompt retaliatory action, engulfing a region which supplies a third of the world's oil.
"The market feels an attack on Syria is highly probable but what they're concerned about is the retaliation," said Mike Gallagher, managing director of IDEAglobal.
"We could see a wider spillover into the region which could easily push oil prices up, at least temporarily, to $120 or $125 a barrel," Gallagher said.
At one point those concerns had pushed Brent crude above $117 a barrel and the U.S. benchmark to its highest level in over two years, though both subsequently eased off these highs in volatile trading.
In the Middle East, Dubai's stock index shed 1.4 percent to add to the 7.0 percent loss recorded on Tuesday, leaving it near a six-week low.
Heavy selling earlier across Asian markets, particularly in southeast Asia sent MSCI's main emerging equity index down 0.7 percent and left its world equity index , which tracks share moves in 45 countries, down 0.5 percent at seven-week lows.
U.S. stock index futures pointed to some respite when trading opens after Wall Street stocks suffered their worst day since late June on Tuesday.
In Europe, stocks were down for a third consecutive day as the concerns over Syria added to a political crisis in Italy and the worries abut Fed tapering to fuel profit taking on an 8 percent rally seen since late June.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares was down 0.4 percent by later morning having posted its largest daily drop in two months on Tuesday.
"The market seems to be looking to trade down on a combination of profit-taking from the strong move into August and the news on Syria and contagion effects in the Middle East," said Atif Latif, director at Guardian stockbrokers.
The euro was down 0.3 percent against the dollar at $1.3355 but was slightly firmer against the yen at 130.
Amid the worries over Syria investors largely shrugged off data showing euro zone bank lending contracting further in July, which highlighted the fragility of the bloc's nascent recovery and should keep pressure on the European Central Bank to maintain its expansive monetary policy.
However, flight to quality demand buoyed German government bonds, sending the 10-year Bund yield down 3 basis points to 1.824 percent as it moves further away from Friday's 1-1/2 year highs of 1.98 percent.
Britain's pound meanwhile slipped against both the dollar and the euro as investors focused on a speech in which new Bank of England governor Mark Carney is likely to reaffirm his intention to keep interest rates low until end-2016.
Many anticipate that Carney will try and talk down a sharp rise in UK money market rates following a run of strong economic data and reiterate that the bank rate will stay at a record low of 0.5 percent until the jobless rate falls to 7 percent.

As more people wise up and stop smoking, there is less call for heavily-subsidized tobacco plants, so researchers are looking for new ways to use this plant. Besides biofuel, they may make natural spray-on solar panels.
Researcher Matt Francis genetically engineered bacteria to produce photo cells that absorb sunlight. In Discovery News, Eric Bland quotes Francis as saying, "We are trying to mimic these finely tuned systems using the tobacco mosaic virus." These cells are then programmed to grow on tobacco plants. To create the solar spray, scientists need to harvest the tobacco plants, chop them up, and then extract the tiny cells, which are then dissolved in liquid solution. After that, they are sprayed over a glass or plastic and laid out in a field or on a roof, wherever electricity is needed. They wouldn't last as long as the average silicon solar cell, but they would be a cheap, transportable, temporary biodegradable power source that could be useful for running farm equipment.

Patient Education
Will my child's speech be delayed if he has a
cleft lip/palate
Not necessarily, if the surgical intervention is timely.
At what age should he be operated?
The surgery should be done between 6-18 months. But palate repair carried out at around 12 months of age is generally preferred.
Unfortunately for some children,
early surgery
may not be possible because of other handicapped conditions and extensiveness of the cleft of palate.
Will my child require a
second surgery
This need may arise where the cosmetic outcome of the lip & nose repairs is not satisfactory or the function of the velopharyngeal mechanism is not adequate for speech or there is a blockage of the nasal airway.
My child does not have a visible cleft lip and palate. But still, he has been advised surgery because of his hypernasality (Has a nasal voice).
Hypernasality may be due to a submucous cleft, which may become apparent when speech begins to develop.
Can my child's hearing be affected because of his cleft lip/palate?
Hearing becomes progressively impaired if palate repair is delayed. Hearing loss is usually of a conductive type. The child's hearing should be routinely checked and re- checked because of a possibility of intermittent loss. The presence of any loss will be a handicap in the development of language and speech and may be detrimental to academic progress.
What tests should be done to rule out a
hearing handicap
In addition to ENT examination, pure tone audiometry and impedance audiometry should be done to reveal any middle ear anomalies.
Will my child need any dental/ orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic management will be required throughout the entire
period of the child from infancy to adulthood.
Will my child's intellect be affected because of his problem?
No. Sometimes, these children have a lower verbal ability because of their handicap.
Will my child's speech be delayed?
There are many reasons why the child's speech may be delayed:
- The early mother-baby bonding in which early interaction takes place is under stress & may therefore provide a poor start
- Hearing loss
- Periods of hospitalization may interrupt periods of normal experience, which is very important for language learning
- Delay in the surgery especially surgery for the cleft palate
When should I seek help from a
speech pathologist
Once you have coped with the initial problems such as feeding & plans for surgery, the next major concern should be speech

Posted in Court
Loren Todd Saxon, 44, from Preston appeared before Judge James A. Fabian in District Court on Tuesday, December 14, 2010, for sentencing. Mr. Saxon was charged with seven counts of terroristic threats and disorderly conduct. The court found him guilty of count 4, making terroristic threats and reckless disregard of the risk in causing such terror. All other charges in the complaint were dismissed. The court ordered the defendant to be committed to the Commissioner of Corrections and to serve 12 months and one day in the St. Cloud facility. Two-thirds of that sentence is to be spent in prison with one-third of the sentence on supervised release. Execution of sentence was stayed for five years. The defendant was sentenced to serve 30 days in the Fillmore County Jail with credit for the four days already served. He was placed on supervised probation for a period of five years, and if the defendant is compliant with the terms of his probation, remaining jail time will be forgiven. In addition, the defendant was ordered to pay fines and fees totaling $190.00.

Hays, North Carolina 28635
Chief: Bill Johnson
Wind from a storm in the Wilkes County, NC, area blew part of a maple tree across power lines igniting a fire in a small structure. A witness said that Firefighter Barker, one of the first to arrive at the scene, was bending over to look more closely where the fire was coming from and was less than 3 feet away from the structure when he collapsed. While witnesses said they never saw Barker touch the structure, the electricity from the power lines on the structure likely moved through the building and unpaved ground, electrocuting Barker. Reports indicate that the ground was saturated with rainwater which helped conduct the electricity. Other firefighters were able to pull Firefighter Barker away from the structure. Efforts to revive Barker with CPR, however, were unsuccessful. Firefighter Barker was pronounced dead at Wilkes Regional Medical Center.

HOSSEGOR is set to host another all-girl showdown this August, with the Swatch Girls Pro France tournament bringing together the lip-smacking combo of professional female surfing alongside professional beach partying.
The ASP six star rated women's event and two star Women's Pro Junior look set to storm the iconic beach breaks of Hossegor and Seignosse this August. This classic venue offers classy waves, plus the opportunity to score important ranking points whilst being in with a chance of the chunky Swatch Girls Pro moth-to-the-flame prize fund. It's a hotly anticipated event due to be graced by most of female surfing's established superstars plus those up-and-coming hopefuls dreaming of joining these familiar faces on the ASP World Championship Tour.
The lip-smacking combo of professional female surfing alongside professional beach partying.
In its fourth year of existence, Swatch Girls Pro 2013 will see 96 competitors and a further 48 juniors battling it out. The first Swatch Girls Pro France, staged at Bourdaines Beach, Seignosse in 2010, saw the crowning of Stephanie Gilmore as champion and guess who is back this year to try and reclaim her former title? The five time ASP World Champion, and all-round surf Godess will be up against the likes of reigning Swatch Girls Pro champion and world number three, Courtney Conlogue, as well as taking on the local favourite who is expected to bring in massive home crowd support, French ASP World Tour surfer and fellow Swatch rider, Pauline Ado.
This event relies on top class talent doing what they do best, whilst maintaining the essence of fun and innovation. Swatch Girls Pro has gone from strength-to-strength, not only allowing the best female surfers to showcase their skills as athletes at some of the world's heaviest beachbreaks, but also to indulge in a bit of high class hospitality. "Swatch pulls out all the stops" states perennial contender Coco Ho and she is right about that. Surfers and surf enthusiasts from all over the Continent have shown a great deal of enthusiasm, promising the biggest crowds to date – especially as it's taking place in the height of the season. Think summer bodies, hot sun and late nights. This isn't just another comp best enjoyed behind the webcast, there's an abundance of live music, DJs and a party to impress; the Swatch Girls Pro is the surf festival of the year and one definitely not to be missed.

2003 Acura TL Reviews
I love this car. I have 113000 miles on it, replaced tires once. I have air whistling through the drivers side door but dealer says they are not sure what it is so I did not try to get it fixed. The interior passenger side rear door handle leather is pulling away (it looks like it is coming unglued). The drivers seat has a few small tears where the seat belt buckle hits it. The trim around the outside of the windows is rippling(it has already been replaced once) and my paint is showing wear. The gear shift light on the console is out. Other than the above I have not had any major problems with this vehicle.
I bought her with 52k in 2008 for a 40k a year job,and now she has 212K leaks power steering fluid, new rotors, pads and tires times 2 and thats it, best car I've ever owned.
We bought our 2003 TL in early 2002 and it has operated trouble free (with the exception of rotors) for 150,000 miles. The transmission had the recommended recall work performed.
What experience have others had with high mileage TLs? Is transmission replacement expected at 200,000 miles?
Thank you.
transmission has already been replaced once and now it's acting up again-the blower motor fried had to replace it and 3 other parts-now front end squeaking-i always heard acura and hondas were the best- thought about trading it in on a 2010 civic until i checked out owner reviews
My Acura TL 3.2 is the best car I have ever owned and at 76 I've had a lot of cars. I bought it from my neighbor with 12147 miles on it. It now has 46720 and I have done nothing to this car except normal maintenance. I get 31 miles to the gallon on the road. The in town mileage is not terrific (15 to 17) but also not that bad. They recalled my car for a tranmission part addition at 16000miles. I love this car. It doesn't come any better than this.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) to chemotherapy is a major obstacle in the treatment of cancer and the resistance process is multifactorial. Studies on multidrug resistance mechanisms relied on the availability of cancer multidrug resistance cell lines that have been established. In this study we successfully established a multidrug resistance cell line ...

This review presents an overview of literature that describes the applications of microfluidics to assay individual cells. We quantify the content of an individual mammalian cell, so that we can understand what criteria a single-cell assay must satisfy to be successful. We put in context the justification for single-cell assays ...

Embyroid body (EB) formation is a key step in many embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation protocols. The EB mimics the structure of the developing embryo, thereby providing a means of obtaining any cell lineage. Traditionally, the two methods of EB formation are suspension and hanging drop. The suspension method allows ...

Objectives: Multidrug resistance (MDR) significantly reduces the efficacy of chemotherapy for lung cancer. In this study, we characterized the significance of CA916798, a gene up-regulated in cis-dichlorodiamine platinum (CDDP)-resistant lung adenocarcinoma cells, in mediating MDR in lung cancer cells. Methods: CA916798 was stably transfected into H446 cells with low endogenous ...

HER2 activation in tumours supports multiple signalling pathways, including those regulating invasion and metastasis. Among the involved genes, tyrosine and dual specificity phosphatases (PTPs and DSPs) may play a relevant, though not completely clear role. HER2 was silenced in ovarian SKOV-3 cells, a genome-wide expression analysis of PTPs and DSPs ...

Because yeast is exceptionally well suited to genetic analysis, both classical and molecular, it is an attractive system for expressing recombinant animal proteins for purification purposes. Methods available for lysing yeast cells include autolysis, pressure cells (e.g., French press), abrasives (glass bead vortexing), and enzymatic lysis (e.g., zymolase). One of ...
