Cloudy water coming from your tap may look harmful or unappetizing, but it isn't bad for you. Cloudy water is just a result of air in your water supply. You may notice this occurs more frequently during the winter than any other time of the year. The reason for this is because as the cold water travels to your home, it begins to warm up. Cold water holds more air particles, creating a cloudy appearance as it warms and is subject to pressure.
If you're still concerned about the quality of your water, it's easy to have it tested without paying a professional to do. Purchase a water testing kit today by visiting a local retail store or home supply store.

Several companies are developing term securitizations backed by their trade receivables - an asset class that hasn't produced such a deal in years.
Investors said underwriters have approached them in recent weeks to gauge interest in potential offerings backed by short-term payments that apparel, construction, energy, food, manufacturing and transportation businesses are owed from corporate buyers of their goods or services. Past issuers Amsted Industries and Walt Disney are among those considering deals, as are a number of first-time players.
The first transactions are projected to hit the market in the next 3-6 months, and would weigh in at $100 million to $500 million each. Single-A ratings are likely.
While a lack of recent supply from the trade-receivables sector makes it difficult to predict pricing, one buysider said spreads of more than 200 bp over Libor are expected. That's based partly on the fact that single-A-rated credit-card bonds with two-year lives are trading around 210 bp.
Market players see trade-receivables deals as somewhat comparable to those backed by credit-card accounts, as both types of issues entail revolving collateral pools. The projected returns, meanwhile, could prove a draw for increasingly yield-hungry investors.
Trade receivables were among the first cashflows packaged into asset-backed bonds, starting in the mid-1980s. But they have never been a huge source of supply for the term market, and dealflow has especially dried up in recent years. The first record of a term trade-payment securitization in Asset-Backed Alert's ABS Database came in 1987. About $6.8 billion of such offerings have been distributed in the U.S. since then, mainly in the early 1990s.
The most recent transaction: a $150 million deal in 2006 from Amsted, a Chicago-based maker of railroad, heavy-truck and industrial products.
In the meantime, huge volumes of trade receivables flowed into commercial-paper conduits. Issuers were drawn to that market by low funding costs and an availability of short-dated facilities that matched the terms of their cashflows. As the global credit crisis and implementation of less-friendly accounting rules caused the conduit industry to begin contracting, however, there was some chatter that term deals could offer an alternative.
In part, the transactions now in development would mark the materialization of that talk. Availability of funding is part of the equation. So are expenses, as conduit operators are charging 125-200 bp over issuance costs to finance trade receivables. They had been charging less than 50 bp in recent years.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- Meanwhile, a Bloomington man's efforts to get a new trial will take a giant step in June.
That's when a hearing is scheduled for Barton McNeil, who was convicted in 1998 of the murder of his young daughter, Christina.
McNeil has always maintained he was not guilty.
His case took a turn in 2012, when McNeil's former girlfriend, Misook Wang, was convicted of killing her mother-in-law.
McNeil contends it was Wang who killed his daughter, and is asking for new DNA testing of evidence used in his murder trial.
The "Illinois Innocence Project" at the University of Illinois is supporting McNeil's case.

One of the area's biggest grocery chains is expanding.
Kroger is wrapping up a remodel at its store on Sam Ridley Parkway in Smyrna. It's part of a bigger $70 million investment in the Nashville market.
In addition to the Smyrna store, Kroger's stores on Highway 70S in Bellevue and on South Church Street in Murfreesboro are getting a complete overhaul.
The chain is also building a new store on Highway 96 in Franklin to replace an older store just down the street.
The president of Kroger's new Nashville division, Rick Going, told Nashville's News 2 the expansion is in response to what customers want while giving the chain a better opportunity to stay local.
He explained, "We're trying to be more relevant to the customers here in this market through more local items, working with local growers, or local companies, meat companies, to make sure we have a mix of products in our store and that we're representing the companies in this area that make great products that our customers are interested in buying."
Kroger opened its Nashville division office to focus on the Middle Tennessee market last month. The office, along with the individual store expansions, will create at least 150 new jobs.
Kroger is also exploring the possibility of opening a store in downtown Nashville.

JMU won for the fourth time in six games to improve to 24-28 overall and 11-15 in the CAA. UD fell to 33-20 overall and 15-12 in the league. The teams will meet again in the CAA Tournament as the No. 3 Blue Hens face the No. 6 Dukes at 3:30 p.m. at JMU's Eagle Field at Veterans Memorial Park.
The Dukes entered the day a half game behind Hofstra for the final tournament spot. The Pride trailed UNCW 10-7 in the bottom of the eighth before rallying. HU had the bases loaded with no outs in the bottom of the ninth with a 10-10 tie but couldn't score. The Seahawks posted a two-run home run in the 10th and survived the tying run in scoring position for the 12-10 win to help JMU.
JMU led 11-2 by the time the UNCW-Hofstra game was final. The Dukes left little doubt on the part of the day they could control by scoring four in the first, three in the second, one in the third and three in the fourth to lead 11-0. UD scored twice in the fourth and then added a pair of runs each in the eighth and ninth to account for the 11-6 final.
Bladel continued his late-season emergence on the mound, picking up his second career victory (2-0) by working 7 2/3 innings. He allowed four runs on seven hits with six strikeouts and no walks. Starter Matt Soren (4-5) took the loss for the Blue Hens after surrendering seven runs on eight hits in two innings.
Junior third baseman Ty McFarland (Bridgewater, Va./Turner Ashby) ended the year as JMU's hottest hitter, posting an 8-for-15 (.533) week after going 2-for-3 with a double and three walks on Saturday. Senior shortstop Casey Goss (Springfield, Mo./Glenville) was 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs.
Three other Dukes had a pair of hits in the game. Junior second baseman Conner Brown (Richmond, Va./Godwin) was 2-for-4 with a two-run home run. Left fielder Chad Carroll (Oakton, Va./Oakton) had two hits and scored twice. Redshirt junior first baseman Matt Tenaglia (Doylestown, Pa./Central Bucks East) had two hits with a double. Senior center fielder Colby Roberts (Benton, Ark./Benton) added a solo home run.
Left fielder Chris Branigan was 3-for-4 for the Blue Hens. Second baseman D.J. Long and first baseman Jimmy Yezzo each smacked two-run home runs.
JMU took command early by batting around in the first and scoring four runs. Carroll started it with an RBI single and McFarland scored on a wild pitch. Brown then smacked his team-leading ninth home run of the season to center for a 4-0 lead.
JMU scored three in the second on a three-run double by Goss. Roberts made it 8-0 with a solo home run in the third. The Dukes extended the advantage further in the fourth as Tenaglia hit an RBI single, Goss scored a run when Roberts reached on an error and senior outfielder Cole McInturff (Centreville, Va./Westfield) picked up an RBI single to make it 11-0.
Delaware scored twice in the fourth with Branigan's RBI double and a double by designated hitter Alex Mottle. The next 11 UD batters went down in order until a single and Yezzo's two-run shot in the eighth. Long smacked a two-run shot in the ninth in the final home at bat of his four-year career as a starter for the Blue Hens to close the scoring for the day at 11-6.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The testis-specific protein Y encoded (TSPY) gene is one of the first genes identified on the human Y chromosome. TSPY is a tandemly repeated and evolutionarily conserved gene on the mammalian Y chromosome. Importantly it is the putative gene for the gonadoblastoma locus on the Y chromosome (GBY), responsible for predisposing dysgenetic gonads of XY sex-reversed and intersex patients for gonadoblastoma development. TSPY encodes a variety of polymorphic proteins harboring a conserved domain, termed SET/NAP domain found in the SET oncoprotein and nucleosome assembly protein 1.
Various studies show that TSPY is a founding member of a family of proteins, termed TSPY-like proteins harboring the same homologous SET/NAP domain. In particular, an X-located single-copy homologue, designed recently as TSPX (and other designations), shows similar gene organization and protein structure. Interestingly TSPY and TSPX possess contrasting properties and have been considered to be a proto-oncogene and tumor suppressor respectively. TSPY and TSPY-like genes serve diverse functions, including cell cycle regulation, transcription regulation, neurotransmission, meiotic division, tumor suppression and promotion. Mutations and/or dysregulation of TSPY gene family members are associated with various human diseases, including infertility, cancers, diabetes, and neural dysfunctions.
The purpose of this special issue of Genes is to summarize the current advances in research on TSPY gene family by various established investigators in the field, focusing on the evolution, genomic organization, protein structures, biological functions in normal development and physiology, and pathogeneses of various diseases.

MR bulbs
MR bulbs are one of the most widely used light bulbs. MR bulbs, or multi-faceted reflector bulbs, are used in a multitude of industries and applications including medical endoscopes, a DJ's lighting rig, and overhead projectors. Odds are you have seen MR bulbs before, but don't realize it.
The number in the MR bulbs title correlates to the length of the bulb's diameter, each digit equals one-eighth of an inch. For example, the MR11 bulbs are 11/8 inch in diameter, or 1 3/8 inches; likewise, a MR8 bulb is 8/8 inch in diameter, or 1 inch. MR bulbs come in many different sizes from the very common MR16 bulbs, to the somewhat common MR8 bulbs and MR11 bulbs, to the less widely known MR13 bulbs and MR18 bulbs.
MR bulbs also come in a variety of colors, these MR colored bulbs are commonly seen in DJ lighting rigs and concert lighting. MR colored bulbs are also used during a variety of events such as haunted houses at Halloween and Fall festival plays at schools.

A few minutes after Class 4A No. 9-ranked Kokomo put the wraps on a 49-40 victory over Richmond in a North Central Conference boys basketball showdown Friday night at Memorial Gym, the Wildkats came back out of the locker room and shared their celebration with their fans.
A special victory deserved a special celebration.
Kokomo finished NCC play 7-0, giving the Kats their third league title in four years and 17th all-time — but just their second undefeated title.
"It feels fantastic to be undefeated champion in the NCC, the second time in the history of our program to be undefeated," said Junior All-Star candidate Tayler Persons, who had a terrific line of 21 points, 10 rebounds, six steals and three assists.
"It was one of the most intensified games I've ever played in my life," he added. "Everyone was focused, intense."
Kokomo's other undefeated NCC championship came in 1996 when current coach Brian McCauley was a key player for the Kats.
McCauley loved the Kats' championship effort Friday night.
"I am so proud of them," he said. "They're winners, they're warriors. They find ways to win. It wasn't pretty at times, but we got better on offense as the game went on and we made some key plays down the stretch."
The Kats improved to 18-2 overall and extended their home winning streak to 26 games.
Richmond (14-8 overall, 5-2 NCC) had a shot at a share of the title, but had to settle for its third straight runner-up finish.
The Red Devils seemed poised to shock the Kats. The Devils led 18-16 at halftime at which point they had an 8-3 advantage in second-chance points, then bolted to a 28-20 lead midway through the third quarter.
Persons and LaBradford Sebree led the Kats on a 10-2 run over the rest of the quarter to forge a 30-all tie. Persons had a hoop-and-harm three-point play and a 3-pointer and Sebree scored the other four points, tying the game with a three-point play off a putback.
Persons noted the Kats remained confident in the face of the eight-point deficit in a low-possession game.
"Even if we're down, we play as hard as we can," he said. "It's just amazing playing with a bunch of guys who know what to do and know how to play off each other. I just love my team so much."
The squads traded jabs in the opening two minutes of the fourth quarter before Hakim Burnett gave the Kats the lead for good, knocking down a jumper for a 36-35 advantage at 6:12.
Kokomo clung to the one-point lead for more than two minutes. Richmond missed a pair of shots and Persons took a charge at 4:27. Persons followed with a 3-pointer off a high screen for a 39-35 lead at 3:53.
After Richmond answered with a basket to make it 39-37 at 3:24, Kokomo protected the lead with defensive stops. Sebree and Persons both had steals.
The Kats went up 41-37 when Erik Bowen scored inside off a Persons feed at 1:18. After Richmond missed a shot, Sebree split a pair of free throws at :54. The Kats then put the win away — Persons came up with a steal at :44, and Sebree scored off a Persons assist for a 44-37 lead at :28.
Richmond came no closer than six the rest of the way.
"It could have gone either way there and our players stepped up and really executed well," McCauley said, noting the Kats denied the Devils second-chance points in the second half.
Persons made all kinds of plays in the fourth quarter. He scored six points, dished three assists and had two steals.
"I wanted this game so bad. My mindset in that fourth quarter was don't let us lose," he said.
Richmond coach Joe Luce tipped his hat to Persons, noting the Kat standout "willed his team to a different level" in the second half.
Luce also had praise for Kokomo's program.
"I've known Kokomo players for a long time. I can tell you one thing — they strike me as winners and those guys displayed that [Friday]," he said. "I don't owe them anything, I just have a lot of respect for what they have accomplished. They have mental toughness and a trust in the fact they're going to find a way to get it done. You can't pull it out of a magic bottle or make up a recipe, it's just something that is in your heart and your mind and those guys have it."
Richmond played without starting guard Davious Webster.
"He's played really well, but at the end of the day, you play with the hand you're dealt," Luce said. "There are a lot of guys that win in Vegas not getting the best cards dealt to them. Obviously we didn't play ours as well as we could have."
Bowen finished with nine points and five boards for Kokomo. Sebree had eight points and Mykal Cox had five points and four assists.
Charles Hampton led Richmond with 17 points. Joel Okafor had 12 points, seven boards and four assists.
• Kokomo's JV team took a 65-41 win to also cap a 7-0 NCC run. Marcelle Kenner led the JV team with 17 points and Jazimar Woodard had 15.
"I'm really proud of the JV guys and coach [Mike] Susong," McCauley said.

All westbound traffic will be rerouted to U.S. Highway 78 while the project is completed.
The closure could last as long as 12 weeks, according to a press release, although, Brian Davis, DOT engineer for the area, said the project must be completed before July 1 or the contractor could face a daily $10,000 fine.
That $10,000 a day can also serve as an incentive for the contractor to finish early, allowing them to earn that amount for bringing the project in ahead of time.
That incentive is because the DOT does not want the increased holiday traffic on the older four-lane highway.
"Before that fourth of July weekend, we want that traffic back on the Corridor," Davis said. "We want to go through the holiday with no impediment to traffic."
Crews began placing signs notifying drivers of the closure and detour on Wednesday and hope to have all those signs in place by the end of the day. The road will officially close at 7 a.m. Monday, Davis said.
Good Hope Contracting of Cullman will be performing the repaving and striping of the future interstate. They were awarded the contract in late March.
The eastbound lanes will be closed in a similar fashion, forcing that traffic onto Highway 78 following the July holiday. That portion of the repaving must be completed by Sept. 8.
The pavement will have to cure before the final striping can begin. The striping is expected to be completed by Nov. 7.
The total cost for the project is estimated at $19.2 million and will also include finishing touches like smoothing out the areas where the roadway connects to bridges.

The HERO Campaign for Designated Drivers
The Office of Highway Safety is proud to bring the HERO Campaign for Designated Drivers®
to Delaware as part of our continuing efforts to prevent impaired driving and alcohol-related crashes. The HERO Campaign was created by the family of Naval Ensign John Elliott who was killed in a head on crash in 2000 by an impaired driver. The Elliott family honors John's memory by promoting the use of designated drivers as a safe and responsible alternative to drinking and driving.
In 2007, 45% of all car crash fatalities in Delaware were alcohol related. Join HERO now to help us raise awareness about the importance of planning for an evening out by using a designated driver. Our goal is to help people realize how easy it is to be responsible.

TALLAHASSEE (AP) - About 100 protesters are staging a sit-in at the office of Florida Gov. Rick Scott over the verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman.
The group vowed to stay in Scott's office overnight.
Protesters say they want Scott to call a special session and ask legislators to change laws that they say harm blacks. 1 of the laws they want repealed is the state's "stand your ground" law that allows someone to use deadly force if they believe their life is in danger.
Ciara Taylor from Jacksonville said the group was "standing" its ground on behalf of Trayvon Martin and for "justice." Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges Saturday in Martin's death.
The protesters first gathered on the steps of the historic Capitol building, then went over to Scott's office.

Gwen and Maddie are out in the woods and still trying to figure out what to do with Adam's body when they hear an angry Will calling for Adam. The two are forced to hide from Will and Jade as they search for Adam to confront him about setting Will up for stealing the bonds. Just as the two are set to stumble on Gwen and Maddie they are interrupted by a call from Margo. Will relays his conversation with Margo to Jade and the two decide to stop looking for Adam, but to go to Margo and tell her what they know about Adam's involvement in planting the bonds to make Will look guilty. Gwen and Maddie are successful in their attempt to put Adam in a shallow grave and they leave the woods to clean up before people see them covered in dirt.
After her conversation with Will, Margo tells Kim that she believes that something is going on with Will. Margo tells Kim that she is worried about Adam's whereabouts and as the two try to figure out where he might be, Jade and Will and tell Margo about Adam's involvement with the bonds. Jade also tells Margo about Adam trying to leave town and then Margo and Kim go to the police station to confirm Will's story with Casey. After being brought up to the interrogation room, Casey asks Dallas to find Maddie and make sure she is o.k. Margo asks Casey about setting up Will and Casey doesn't deny Adam's participation, but tells Margo she needs to talk to Adam. Margo puts out an APB for Adam and reminisces about Hal's love for Adam before calling him and telling him to call her immediately because he is wanted for questioning in framing Will and only she can help him now.
Maddie and Gwen both return to their homes and try to clean themselves up after burying Adam, but both keep remembering what they have done. Dallas arrives at Margo's to check up on Maddie and he tells her he is there to make sure she is alright at Casey's request. Maddie tells Dallas she is fine, but Dallas doesn't seem to believe her and asks her to get Adam so he can speak with him. Maddie convinces Dallas to leave without speaking to Adam and as he goes he unknowingly takes out the trash bag containing Maddie's dirty clothes. Back at her home, Will finds Gwen shaken and upset in the shower and she begs him to forgive her. He tells her he is sorry that she got hurt and that he knows Adam framed him to try to get Gwen. A guilty and distraught Gwen asks Will to never ask her to forgive him again.
Meg continues to try to explain to Bob how she was responsible for the death of her patient, Sarah. Meg tells Craig to leave her and Bob alone so they can discuss how Meg is to blame for the patient's death. Meg tells Bob about missing one of Sarah's allergies and then accidentally giving her the medication that killed her. Bob immediately questions Meg about the diary that Sarah supposedly wrote telling how she wanted to die. Meg thinks back on Craig's involvement in faking and planting the diary, but Meg says the diary isn't relevant, but what is significant is Meg's failure to write down all the allergies. Bob chastises Meg for not telling him sooner what had happened and condemns her actions. Bob fires Meg and then tells her he will notify the police and medical board. After her conversation with Bob, Craig comforts a distraught Meg. He thanks her for not telling Bob about his part in faking the diary and he tells her he can handle it, but Meg tells him to forget it and let her be alone.

Holden's back in town, and he and Lily take Faith to Al's Diner, where they're met with more of the same surly attitude she's been giving Lily lately. Lily goes to the counter to order something, and Holden tries to get Faith to open up to him, but she insists she doesn't actually have a problem and isn't purging and using laxatives like they think she is. Her cell phone rings, and it's Parker, who tells her he's standing outside and suggests she make up a story so she can ditch her parents and go somewhere with him. She pretends the call is from a classmate with whom she's doing a science project, and she claims that because she's had to go to the psychologist appointments, she and the other girl need to make up some time on their science project or they'll both get an F on it. Holden agrees to let her go back to school to work on the project. Faith hangs up her phone and says she'll walk to school; Lily, who has come back to the table, says she'll drive her, but Faith resists, saying it's just a couple of blocks and questioning their trust in her. Holden and Lily agree she can walk to school, so she leaves and meets Parker outside. They head for Paul's cabin in the woods. After Faith leaves, Holden wonders what happened to make things so much worse for Faith between the time he left for his business trip and now, and Lily takes that as an indictment of her mothering skills. Holden assures her that's not what he meant, but he says he was talking to Lucinda about how maybe Lily's trying to do too much. Lily gets even more upset that he and her mother were discussing her job and her kids. Holden tries to calm her down and apologizes for making her feel he was accusing her of anything, then he says he has to go to the farm to check on things for Emma. Lily says she'll wait at Al's because she has a business meeting in 20 minutes. Later, the two women from the organic baby food project meet with her, and Lily suggests some advertising in alternative parenting magazines and on cable TV; they say that will take more money and ask if she'll need Lucinda's permission. Lily bristles at the very idea and opens her checkbook, asking how much they think they'll need.
At the Snyder farm, Jack greets JJ when he comes home from school, but Parker's not with him. JJ says he doesn't know where Parker went and that Parker barely talks to him anymore, even when they pass each other in the halls at school. Jack tells JJ how much he appreciates his help since Carly left but also says JJ doesn't need to try to be strong all the time, and he promises JJ that he'll get a handle on Parker and his anger. JJ goes to play video games, and Jack calls Parker's school. Holden comes in, and Jack tells him that Parker skipped school again; he asks Holden where Faith is, and he says she's supposed to be at the science lab. Jack asks the person at school if the science lab is still open, but he's told that it's closed. Jack tells Holden, and he says he thinks they're together and visiting a "new friend" of Parker's. He tells Holden he'll explain in the car, and they leave.
Paul has a vision of a bracelet hitting some rocks. He leaves the cabin for awhile, and while he's gone, Parker lets himself and Faith in, not knowing whether Paul's there or not. Faith gets spooked and decides to leave, but when she opens the door, Paul is standing there, about to come back in. He asks if they're having a meeting of the Oakdale Juvenile Delinquents Club, but they tell him they came to thank him for covering for them the other day. When he asks what their parents have done that's so horrible, they tell him their parents think they're crazy and won't leave them alone. He says parents aren't supposed to leave you alone, but that their parents are at least decent people, unlike his own father, whom he had to escape. When they ask how he "escaped," he tells them he used to look at paintings in art books, and he tells them about a particular painting called "The Sleeping Gypsy." Paul describes the Rousseau painting to them, saying there was a gypsy asleep in the desert with a powerful lion standing over him; Paul always thought the lion was there to protect the gypsy, so he used to tell himself that the lion would protect him, too, while he was a kid, and then when he got older, he thought of himself as that lion, protecting the people he loved. As they discuss how cool it would be to actually hang that painting over the fireplace at the cabin, Holden and Jack come in, with Jack demanding to know why the kids are with Paul.
At Tom and Margo's house, Casey tries to reach Adam on his cell phone, but Maddie tells him to stop trying to call Adam. When Casey says he needs to talk to his brother, Maddie apologizes, but Casey says he's the one who should apologize, for lying to her, and he tells her he wants to go see Will and Gwen and apologize to them. Maddie tries to tell him that now is not the right time to do that, but he says he's going anyway and invites her to join him. She says she just can't, so he leaves, but she changes her mind and starts out the door to find him.
At home, Gwen realizes she's lost her wedding ring and freaks out about it, even though Will tries to assure her it's okay since it was just a gum ball machine ring in the first place. When she won't calm down, he tells her she didn't have it on when he saw her in the shower the night before, so it dawns on her that she must have lost it while she was digging a grave for Adam. Frantic, she tells Will she has to go find the ring; he offers to go with her, but she says she wants to go alone. She goes to Margo and Tom's and catches Maddie on her way out the door, telling her about the lost ring and asking for Maddie's help. Maddie doesn't want to go back there, but she ultimately agrees when Gwen points out that if anyone finds Adam, they will find her ring, too, which will link her to his death. Gwen grabs some of Margo's gardening tools, and they head for the woods. Once there, Gwen tells Maddie they need to dig around Adam's "grave" to look for the ring. As they dig, they uncover Adam's gloved hand, and Gwen screams.
At Will and Gwen's place, Casey gets Will to let him in, and he apologizes for all that's happened. Will wants to know if it was his idea or Adam's to set him up, and Casey tells him it was Adam who said he'd cover for Casey, but that if he'd known that he meant to frame Will, he wouldn't have let him do it. Casey says he almost told Gwen the truth, but Adam stopped him by saying Will would never go to jail for stealing his own money. He apologizes again and tells Will his dad says he could get 6 months to 10 years in jail for what he's done. Will tells Casey that he's never going to forget what Adam did to him and Gwen, and he says Gwen doesn't even want to say Adam's name anymore; Casey remarks that Maddie also seems particularly upset about Adam's involvement in the whole thing.

What's in a name? Mesa agency hopes a lot

The Mesa Convention and Visitor's Bureau has a new name: Visit Mesa.
"It's a shorter name, and it denotes what we do," said marketing director Milton Fort. "It eliminates the word 'bureau' from the name, which denotes bureaucracy and government, which we're not."
Fort said the name change won't alter the organization's job.
"We're a destination marketing organization," he said. "We promote the activities, whether it be the outdoors, the hotels, the attractions, anything a visitor would want to do while they're here."

Quintessential Maine Cabin Stay
July 28, 2014
This was our first time renting a cabin/house in Maine. It was perfect. We enjoyed the isolation, yet proximity to town and day trips to places like Portland, Popham Beach, Reid State Park and more. The owners go out of their way to be accommodating. The cabin was stocked with toilet paper, clean towels and sheets, napkins, and even a stockpile if firewood. We truly enjoyed our stay.

This cottage was just lovely. Had the best stay ever. Very quiet location and in the woods but could seethe ocean from the front porch. The best of both worlds. Very nice people that rent it. No problems except an animal ran off at night into the woods with one of my Croc sandals...guess he was looking for salt as I was on the beach that day wearing them. Cottage is a delight. Very quaint, cozy, and comfortable. AND clean! Thank you Adele and Mrs. True for renting to us...enjoyed thoroughly and will be back for sure.

We stayed 2 weeks in this wonderful, comfortable, homey, cabin in the woods & enjoyed every moment! So private and quiet and my kids absolutely loved having their own large rooms. My husband lived in the screened in sun room overlooking the trees and water .... he loved it so much! It really wasn't a cottage ... very large and lots of room for everyone!! We have been in cottages where you were always bumping into each other ... not the case here ... tons of room!! Loved the cute country roads to get there and the beaches were beautiful!!! Popham beach was around 30 minutes away and soooo worth it ... spent many afternoons there! The cabin had absolutely everything you could ever need ... I always travel with my own main cooking & eating utensils but you sure didn't need that here! They had everything and more!! Everything was very clean and lots of fresh towels etc. We spent most evenings in the big private wooded yard with a big bonfire! My son loved the woods and spent many hours looking for little frogs & salamanders .... lots of hermit crabs and snails along coast also in front of cabin. Shopping, restaurants, movie theatre, book store etc. all not far and a nice drive on cute country roads. We really enjoyed our stay and hated to leave and will definitely return one day soon!!

Nice cottage
July 4, 2011
Lowed the space and the location. With four adults and two children, one bath became an issue for us. However, everything else was delightful. We had good directions to the cottage and everything was as described in the advertisement and the description sent by the owner.

What a great cottage and so clean and roomy. We had a 30year reunion just the 4 girls all in from out of state. We could not get over all the beauty and comforts of the cottage. We were without nothing. The cottage provided everything. We are definitely going to return and tell all about this wonderful place. Also the town of Bath was a beautiful place that we spent walking around and going to the ocean. Thank you again! Southern Illinois Girls. Marlyn,Dee,Moe,Nancy

All About Maine.....
August 24, 2009
West Bath, Maine is a great location, you're in the heart of all the things one might want to do while staying in the area. Our lodging was a short ride to Popham State Park which has the nicest beaches we've seen so far in Maine. The town of Bath has a lot to see and do, lots of fun stores a maritime museum, a Navy ship yard and much more Bath near Freeport, Wiscasset and Damarescotta. If you like flea markets, antiquing, beaches, farmer's markets, good restaurants, quaint movie theaters, sea kyacking, white water rafting and fishing this is the spot!The house had plenty of space, 4 bedrooms and a bath upstairs and a kitchen, dining room, living room and screened porch, downstairs. There is a small outdoor deck and a fire pit for those cooler evenings The area is very quiet at night and the display of stars is amazing. On a really clear night, it is not unusual to see shooting stars and the Milky Way. The house was well apointed, lots of cooking utensils for those who like to cook on holiday. We found great restaurants in the area which made this a true vacation for us. Mae's in Bath, the Muscongus Bay Lobster Pound in Round Pond are our favorites. This is our fifth consecutive trip to Maine and we are already thinking about next summer's trip.

Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems
The Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) contributes to strengthening the financial market infrastructure through promoting sound and efficient payment, clearing and settlement systems.
The CPSS is a standard setting body for payment, clearing and securities settlement systems. It also serves as a forum for central banks to monitor and analyse developments in domestic payment, clearing and settlement systems as well as in cross-border and multicurrency settlement schemes.
The CPSS undertakes specific studies in the field of payment and settlement systems at its own discretion or at the request of the Governors of the Global Economy Meeting. Working groups are set up as required.
Through the publication of the CPSS/IOSCO Principles for financial market infrastructures, which replaces the three previous sets of international standards set out in the Core principles for systemically important payment systems (CPSS, 2001); the Recommendations for securities settlement systems (CPSS-IOSCO, 2001); and the Recommendations for central counterparties (CPSS-IOSCO, 2004), the Committee has contributed to the set of standards, codes and best practices that are deemed essential for strengthening the financial architecture worldwide.
The Committee publishes various reports covering large-value funds transfer systems, securities settlement systems, settlement mechanisms for foreign exchange transactions, clearing arrangements for exchange traded and over-the-counter derivatives and retail payment instruments, including electronic money. The 'Red Book' on payment, clearing and settlement systems, which provides extensive information on the most important systems in the CPSS countries, is periodically revised and a statistical update of the data it contains is published each year.

What does it take to build a large-scale data center? In addition to arrays of servers, storage and network devices, a data center requires multiple systems to provide a reliable source of power, suitable environmental conditions, plus operations management to provision, monitor and secure the facilities. As cloud computing adoption continues to rise, and customers demand 24/7 access to their services and data, reliability remains a challenge for cloud service providers everywhere.
Today Data Center Knowledge ran an article penned by my colleague David Bills, chief reliability strategist, that highlights customer needs for 24/7 access to cloud services and data and the challenges all cloud service providers face as they strive to provide highly available services. In his article, David states that consumers demand access 24 hours a day, seven days a week to their digital lives, and outages can have a significant negative impact on a company. However, the complex nature of cloud computing means that cloud service providers need to be mindful that things will go wrong — because it's not a case of if, it's strictly a matter of when. This means it's critical for organizations to understand how best to design and deliver reliable cloud services. Bills bases his article on the experiences of Microsoft; managing a cloud-based infrastructure supporting more than 200 services, 1 billion customers, and 20 million businesses in more than 76 markets worldwide.
I enjoyed David's article and encourage you to read it, watch our cloud fundamentals video on reliability and share your thoughts on cloud computing via comments below.

Many organizations and governments around the world struggle to quantify the value of making security investments in an environment of increasingly complex business models, fast-moving technology shifts and ever-more sophisticated cyber criminals. In this fluid environment, it can be challenging to justify resources and budget for situations such as a security incident that did not interrupt business operations. Budget approvals often occur after an incident occurs and when the damage is already done. Given this dynamic, and the need to keep customers protected from changes in the threat landscape, Microsoft has remained committed to producing threat intelligence that can help inform different security investments.
We have long reported on the changing threat landscape through the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report (SIR). In a new, Special Edition SIR report released last month titled "Linking Cybersecurity Policy and Performance," we provide insight into different socio-economic factors that can influence cybersecurity outcomes. The study examines how socio-economic factors, such as GDP per capita, broadband penetration, mobile devices and Facebook usage correlate with cybersecurity outcomes as measured by regional malware infection rates. This data is designed to help organizations and governments better understand the potential impact socio-economic factors have on cybersecurity and serve to inform security investment decisions.

Today I will speak at George Washington University on a panel discussing the development of International Cybersecurity Norms.
Developing cybersecurity norms is difficult process but essential for the future of cyberspace. For more than two decades, people have struggled to understand the cyber threat, evaluate the risks to individuals and organizations (including nation-states), and craft appropriate responses. Although many organizations have invested significantly in information assurance, most computer security experts believe that a well-resourced and persistent adversary will be successful in attacking systems, especially if raising defenses is the only response to an attack.
Addressing cybersecurity threats is hard for many reasons, I outline six of these in my paper on "Rethinking Cyber Threat – A Framework and Path Forward", but let me highlight 3 that are especially hard for governments as they try to think through international security challenges related to cybersecurity.
· The Internet is a shared and integrated domain. It is shared by citizens, businesses, and governments in a manner that makes it difficult to segregate one group from another. Free speech, commercial transactions, espionage activities, and cyber warfare may be occurring in this shared and integrated domain, all at the same time and over the same transport medium. With a limited ability to parse actors and activities, tailored responses to specific threats are extremely hard to craft.
· The potential consequences of an attack are very difficult to predict. Certain nefarious activity such as network scans or unauthorized system access may be a prelude to information theft, a data integrity breach, or a disruption of service. Moreover, the complex interrelationships between systems suggest that there may be unanticipated cascading effects, some which may be more severe than even the intended effect. Finally, while some attacks may be obvious (for example, a denial of service attack against a critical infrastructure) and generate a quick response, other attacks may be hard to detect. Much has been written about the exfiltration of data from sensitive systems; a more disconcerting scenario might be a alteration of critical data. Not only can this be difficult to detect, but it may be difficult to discern when the data was changed without authority, thus making it difficult to "roll back" to a known good state.
· The worst-case scenarios are alarming. In the popular press, policy space, and think tanks, these scenarios include disrupting critical infrastructure services, impeding key economic functions, or imperiling public safety and national security. The complexity of these scenarios, which results in part from massive interconnectivity and dependencies between systems that are not always well understood, has made it difficult to develop a consensus regarding the probable consequences of an attack. As for our ability to recover quickly from such an attack, society's increasing dependence on information technology systems and the data they contain may mean that there is no longer an existing manual process with trained people to fall back on.
These challenges and the rapidly changing threat landscape has also raised concerns about the dangers of potential conflicts in cyberspace. According to the United Nations, there are more than 30 countries that have developed doctrine related to the use of cyberspace and some have developed cyber defense centers.[i] In response, there has been a substantial increase in government to government dialogue related to international cybersecurity.

What do computer science and social issues have in common? A lot more than might you think. For starters, computer science is being used to help solve some of the toughest issues that we're facing around the world.
"Advances in computer science can be potentially transformative in sectors that make up the fabric of society: health care, transportation, energy, agriculture, and education," says Dr. Jeanette Wing, Microsoft vice president and head of Microsoft Research International.
Within the computer science community, Dr. Wing is well-known for her advocacy of "computational thinking," an approach to problem solving, designing systems and understanding human behavior that draws upon concepts fundamental to computer science. It's about asking the right questions combined with the important skills that most subjects help develop, like creativity, ability to explain and team work. Dr. Wing sees it as a "universally applicable attitude and skill set that everyone, not just computer scientists, should be eager to learn and use."
In her three-page article in the Communications of the ACM entitled Five Deep Questions in Computing she asks thought provoking questions to the computer-science community in order to start a specific dialogue around problem solving using key science drivers.
- Is there a complexity theory for analyzing our real-world computing systems as there is for the algorithms we invent?
Posted by David Bills, Chief Reliability Strategist, Trustworthy Computing Today we published a new video series, 'Fundamentals of cloud service reliability'. Designing and delivering reliable services is complex, and this series highlights the fundamentals of designing for service reliability and complements our recent whitepaper 'An introduction to designing reliable cloud services'. Together, these pieces aim to be the catalyst for further discussions among services teams within organizations, as well as the industry itself.
The series consists of three short videos:1. 'What is cloud service reliability?, discusses reliability and presents four goals cloud service providers should consider to make their customers happy.2. 'Addressing common cloud service issues', discusses the common causes of service failure and core design principles to help reduce the likelihood and severity of outages when they happen.3. 'Designing for and responding to cloud service issues', discusses a process to help cloud service providers design cloud services to meet customers' expectations.

As incidents of online meanness and cruelty continue to garner media attention, and children worry about becoming targets, parents, educators, and school districts must continue to band together to help kids stand up to online bullying. Recently, I participated in a local high-school event in Washington State, where 1,500 students, educators, and available parents discussed the realities of online bullying. In an ad hoc poll taken by one of the students at an assembly, well over half the student body stood up to acknowledge that they had, in fact, been mean to or bullied someone else online. This visual demonstration from the students is not unlike what Microsoft has witnessed around the world. Last June, we released results of a 25-country survey of youth aged eight to 17, asking them about some of the negative behaviors they've experienced online. More than half (54 percent) told us they were worried about being bullied online. Contrast that with only 29 percent who said their parents have talked to them about the issue. Teens are 43 percent more likely to be mean online, compared to eight to 12 year olds, the data show. I shared this point with the students because they have the power – with the help of others – to help keep these numbers from climbing. School programs like this one that bring together parents, students, educators, and technology leaders, are a step in the right direction. They allow everyone involved the opportunity to share their thoughts, insights, data, guidance, and resources to work toward a common goal. It's much like the positive goal of "A Platform for Good" (PfG), a project of The Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI), which is asking everyone to pledge to use their power for good. The pledge consists of a simple but powerful statement: "I will use my power for good," and will support teens and parents in using the Internet to create a movement of positive interactions - from reaching out to old friends, sharing compliments, or becoming virtual volunteers.

Originally from NY now living in NH. Have been playing drums for many years in many situations. My style/band situations are primarily based in rock. I prefer very simple,very creative, solid rhythm & groove styles of music. I always admired groups like the Beatles, CCR, Mellencamp,and 60's Motown Music etc. for the simplicity, and probably one of my favorite bands is Morphine. I'm not into sterile electronic music, I prefer raw/real sounding recordings.......enjoy experimenting!One of the hardest things to do in music is be simple and creative!

STATEROOM: The room was typical in size and in great condition. The balcony was small but was just fine. I liked the curved balcony because it offers a wide 180 degree view of the canal transit. Yes, you lose privacy, as other passengers on their balconies can see you, but for the canal experience I recommend this balcony type; also note you can see the other passengers. Bed was comfortable... bathroom shower was small; When one is on a cruise one should know that showers are smaller than in your house. No problem.
STEWARD STAFF: A+. The room was tended to twice per day, on schedule, and quickly. Moore was the name of the steward... he was very professional and polite.
FOOD: The food was good in all locations. Fresh, pleasing to eat, great to look at. Note, I did not say the food was "great,"... I said it was good. Nothing to complain about. The service however was excellent!
ENTERTAINMENT: Very good, and was changed throughout the duration! I attended all of the choices, and was completely satisfied. The Scholarship@Sea program was fantastic.
SHOPPING: I did not do any on-board shopping, and I did not feel pressured to by anything.
SHIP TOUR: The behind the scenes ship tour (there is a fee) is well worth the cost. It lasts about 3 hours and is very informative.
CONS: 1) This itinerary has many "continuous sea days." 2) The stateroom television had a faulty ship's course tracking system, therefore, one could not track the ship location.
BE AWARE: Internet service on ALL cruise lines is very slow and very expensive.
Princess Cruises did a good job of providing activities and its up to the passengers to take advantage of the offerings. I would do this cruise again and will sail with Princess again.

Studies conducted at the institute for the Science of Aging at Aichi Medical University in Japan showed red tea to contain super oxide dismutase (sod), an outstanding antioxidant and prime fighter for free radical damage. As a result of their studies, they termed red tea "an anti-aging beverage", which can significantly counter the aging process. It has been prescribed for mild depression, nervous tension, digestive problems, and insomnia. Minerals in red tea include iron, potassium, calcium, copper, zinc, magnesium, fluoride, manganese, sodium, and is also rich in the flavonol quercetin, known to increase capillary strength.

African Red Tea Imports Hoodia Gordonii Tinc Tract - 2 oz.
African Red Tea Imports Hoodia Gordonii Tinc Tract is a natural appetite suppresent. They produce the Hoodia Tinc Trac in the USA with a patented extraction method that uses no alcohol and very low heat, thus keeping all the nutrients and enzymes alive. Just a dropper full of this Hoodia tinc tract in your mouth 3 time a day, drop into your cup of water, or tea
After much research by South African scientists and western pharmaceutical companies have proven that Hoodia has no known side effects and no stimulants. Hoodia Gordonii grows in the high deserts of the Kalahari Desert region of South Africa and although there are other species of Hoodia, the Gordonii is the only one that contains the all-natural appetite suppressant.
South African scientists have been testing the Hoodia plant since 1996 when they discovered the plant contained a previously unknown molecule, dubbed P57 by Britain's leading pharmaceutical researcher, replicates the effect glucose has on nerve cells in the brain fooling the body into thinking it is full, even when it is not. Hoodia's appetite suppressing molecule is said to be almost 10,000 times stronger than glucose.
Hoodia works by mimicking the effect glucose has on the nerve cells in the brain fooling the body into believing it is full, even when it is not. Results of human clinical trials in Britain suggest that hoodia could reduce the appetite by up to 2,000 calories per day.
While many people feel the appetite suppressant kicking in sometimes within 20 minutes of ingestion, it is felt that the general population responds to hoodia within 1 – 2 weeks of starting the program. Some morbidly obese people (more than double their normal weight), who describe themselves as eating machines since childhood, say that although they felt the appetite suppressant kicking in after 2 – 3 weeks, it took a few weeks before they realized their interest in food was significantly decreasing, thereby helping to change life long eating habits.
In an interview with ABC NEWS, a spokesman for the San people who live in the Kalahari Desert, Andries Steenkamp says, "I learned how to eat it from my forefathers. It is my food, my water and also a medicine for me. Hoodia stops hunger and also treats sickness," Steenkamp told ABC NEWS. "We San use the plant during hunting to fight off the pain of hunger and thirst".
The San (Kung) Bushmen can trace their heritage back more than 27,000 years based on rock paintings and are one of the world's oldest and most primitive tribes, and they have known about the properties of Hoodia Gordonii for thousands of years.

Fluorescent Scans May Have Potential to Track Alzheimer's Progression
Doctors would gain ability to monitor ongoing brain changes, study suggests
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 18 (HealthDay News) -- Newly developed fluorescent compounds may help doctors track Alzheimer's disease as it advances in living patients, a new study reveals.
Tests showed that these compounds highlighted so-called tau protein clusters on PET scans of the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease.
The study was published in the Sept. 18 issue of the journal Neuron.
In the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients, tau proteins clump together and become tangled. These tau tangles are an important marker of brain deterioration in people with the disease. Until now, it was difficult to monitor tau tangles while patients are still alive.
These new fluorescent compounds may help doctors track the processes that occur in the brain during the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease, according to a journal news release.
This ability could prove helpful in diagnosing the disease, monitoring the effectiveness of treatments, and testing new drugs to prevent and treat the disease, according to study senior author Dr. Makoto Higuchi, of the National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Japan, and colleagues.
Tau tangles also play a role in other types of dementias and movement disorders. These new fluorescent compounds could also help doctors diagnose, monitor and treat these diseases, the researchers noted.
Another protein called amyloid beta accumulates into plaques in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. Imaging technologies have been developed to observe the spread of amyloid beta plaques in patients' brains.
