The extracts on this page are taken from selected national newspapers. The views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views of Manchester United.
John Percy and Jeremy Wilson write in The Telegraph...
United monitor Jack Butland
Sir Alex Ferguson is considering a summer move for Birmingham City's £3million-rated goalkeeper, Jack Butland. Ferguson, the Manchester United manager, sent his goalkeeping coach, Eric Steele, to make a personal check on Butland in Cheltenham's 1-0 defeat at Rotherham on Monday. Butland, who made his debut for the England Under-21s last year, is on his second loan spell with League Two Cheltenham and has also been regularly watched by Arsenal this season. The 19-year-old has represented England at every level up to the under-21s but is still yet to make a first-team appearance for Birmingham. Chris Hughton, the Birmingham manager, is expecting serious interest in the summer and the club are prepared to sell Butland if they receive a suitable offer.
Elsewhere, many of the papers have run quotes from Ryan Giggs' matchday programme interview on Sunday (also published yesterday on ManUtd.com) on his desire to win a 13th title. Giggs told United Review that winning the league this year would rank up there with his best achievements.
The Telegraph's Henry Winter writes an opinion piece on the title race and concludes that Sir Alex is the main reason United look certain to clinch this season's Barclays Premier League trophy. "Once again, as he hunts down another title, Sir Alex Ferguson has reminded everyone that the game is about heart, that a player is nothing without hunger, that a team cannot scale the heights without a unity of purpose keeping their footing safe on the rocky ascent."

Photos courtsey of www.scoreland.com
Her beautiful tits: This is Emma's first time in SCORE. A Brit, she's 38-23-34, 127 pounds and 5'5". Her birthday is September 26th. Facially, she's nearly a dead ringer for former model C.J. Like most newcomers, Emma inspired a flurry of commentaries, all of them favorable: "The checkerboard micro-bikini with awesome high stockings to the high legs on her was very exciting. Maybe it was the care she took with her ensemble with the matching earrings and bracelet; more probably it was the care she obviously takes of her flawless body. Too bad that she decided on only the old-style poses, being discrete with her pussy. Hopefully, she enjoyed this experience enough to come back and show more." We can respect a man who has optimistic thoughts. And this one "I love Emma. She is now my favorite model. Not only does she have great tits and ass but her face is unbelievably gorgeous! Those eyes of hers are super sexy. Her eyes alone can get a man hot. Even her hair style is sexy. Have her in every issue."

Old train depot moves
Published September 17th, 2008
Gainesville Regional Utilities officials say property near Depot Avenue and Main Street in Gainesville is contaminated. So, they started a cleanup effort this week.
The first step ... move a near-100-year-old train depot out of the way.
A crew started moving the first of four sections of the building Wednesday.
GRU officials estimate it will take about a month to move each section. That's one section per week.

In my recent speaking events, I have emphasized to Realtors how effective it is to build email lists and even niche followings using Squeeze Pages. While many services can provide the Squeeze mechanism, the real success or failure of the effort lies in the effectiveness of the digital object you use within your squeeze pages.
The Digital Object, being the thing (video, podcast, special PDF report, foreclosure list, etc) that you give your niche market in exchange for their contact information to begin a permission-based marketing relationship.
So this week, I've curated articles that focus on how to create compelling content. So whether you're beginning to blog, making specific Facebook posts or seriously creating a special report or video to "share your brain" with your niche market via Squeeze pages, these are for you!

Sharing the indoor exhibit space with automobiles, emergency vehicles, and many different types of police equipment, there was one helicopter, the Shen 4T. This model helicopter is now in use with many police departments as well as with national security bureaus around the world. In the United States, the Shen 4T is being flown by many local police departments. In Mexico, the Shen 4T is being used by the border patrol for airborne surveillance, drug interdiction and law enforcement. In the Dominican Republic the Shen 4T is flying airborne law enforcement missions.
The large payload capability of the Shen 4T allows it to carry a large variety of equipment including FLIR, video cameras, loudspeakers, searchlights as well as a cabin full of police officers and a full fuel tank. With more than four hours of endurance, police patrols are not limited in the area that they can observe during their missions.
The low cost to purchase a Shen 4T and the very low operating cost have made this helicopter a very popular vehicle for police operations. The Shen 4T can be operated by a single pilot, allowing up to three additional observers in the cockpit, all of whom share the excellent visibility provided in this design. The arrival of the first Shen 4T in China may be a milestone in the evolution of helicopter police operations throughout the country.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla - The Florida Department of Education launched a new web resource today designed with parents in mind. The new "Success Measures" website was crafted to help parents understand how changes to Florida's standards and assessments in the months and years to come will impact their children. The most critical element of the site is the newly created "Success Measures Pathway Tool," which is designed to provide parents and students with personalized reports detailing what is being taught and tested in our classrooms on a student-by-student basis.
"Providing a user-friendly resource that allows our parents and students to understand Florida's curriculum standards and assessments is critical to our efforts to make them more informed about their schools," said Education Commissioner Dr. Eric J. Smith. "As we move forward with national standards in our classrooms, this new tool will help us to better work with parents to prepare our children for their continued educational achievement and future workforce success."
Through the Success Measures Pathway Tool, users can submit the school year, grade level and the anticipated courses their student will be taking. With this basic information, the Pathway Tool then generates a brief report detailing the assessments aligned with the courses selected at the time the courses will be taken, as well as a thorough listing of the content covered on those assessments. Parents and students can use the Success Measures Pathway Tool to learn about current and future assessments and coursework.
The Success Measures website is aimed at educating parents and students about how Florida's curriculum standards and assessments system combine to produce statewide measures of student success. Presently, the website focuses on student assessments such as the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT), FCAT 2.0, and End-of-Course assessments. In the future, the Success Measures website will encompass all Florida assessments including postsecondary readiness and certification exams.
To utilize this new tool, visit the Florida Department of Education website for Success Measures at www.fldoe.org/SuccessMeasures.

"Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we'll go" brings back warm memories of childhood Thanksgivings; turkey with all the fixings, pumpkin pie and whipped cream and family, all gathered around a table. For me, Thanksgiving Day meant giving thanks for all that God had given me, but since joining Operation Blessing, every single day is filled with feelings of thanksgiving… for all that OBI is able to give away.
Thankful for the opportunity to give
A harvest of blessings for hungry families
UNITED STATES – As families all over America prepare for Thanksgiving, pulling out old recipes and purchasing turkeys, cranberries and more for the big day, some are searching empty cupboards for anything that can fill their empty stomachs.
Unemployment, medical bills or even a slump in the economy can put families in a position where they must choose between buying groceries and keeping the lights on. For these families struggling to make ends meet, a box of groceries can make all the difference.
Food for little Ntabeleng
QALAKHENG, Lesotho – Imagine living in a tiny, one-room flat with 13 other people. For nine-year-old Ntabeleng*, this is home.
Orphaned at a young age, Ntabeleng lives with her grandmother, Ma Nkapane, and 12 cousins in the small village of Qalakheng.
Hope for little Linda
IQUITOS, Peru – In a home desperately needing repair, six-year-old Linda would cry all night, unable to hold back the tears because her stomach ached so badly from hunger.
Learning to walk
INDIA – Born with two clubfeet in a small Indian village, eight-month-old Poornima needed a miracle for her to be able to walk and keep up with the other children as she got older.
Her parents were determined to give her that miracle through corrective treatment, despite their low income and claims from friends and family that clubfoot could not be cured. But Poornima's parents were hopeful and sacrificed much just to get their little girl to the hospital in Mumbai—each trip costing a full day's wages.
Then, with Operation Blessing's help, Poornima received the necessary treatment she so desperately needed free of charge to her family. Now wearing braces in the final phase of her treatment, Poornima's family can see visible results and are excited to see their little girl learning to walk.
The gift of food and hope for a family in need
GEORGIA – As the cost of food and utilities rose over the past few years, Chrissy did everything she could to make her husband's paycheck stretch to meet their family's needs. But before long, Jeff's mechanic's salary just wasn't enough to pay the bills and put food on the table for their four children.
Clara's second chance
PAGNAMITAN, Philippines – When Typhoon Haiyan decimated her village a year ago, everything Clara had worked for was gone—her home, her business and even her daughter's wheelchair.
A safe place
COSTA RICA – Children should feel safe in their own homes, but for 5-year-old Karla* and her older sister Natalie*, home was anything but safe.
When their mother was struggling to afford food or rent, she would sell them to men in their neighborhood — sacrificing their innocence for additional income.
Little Karla and her sister found refuge in Operation Blessing-partner, Seeds of Hope, an organization that reaches out to young girls, working to prevent and rehabilitate sexually exploited and at-risk children.
"The girls would regularly weep in our arms," said one staff member, "but never tell us what was going on at home."
Then one of the girls was brought to a hospital after being raped and authorities learned about the abuse they had suffered. Costa Rican child protective services authorized Seeds of Hope to house and care for the girls until a safe home could be found for them.
Thanks in part to Operation Blessing partners, Karla and Natalie were able to be placed with a caring family and are receiving counseling to help them through the recovery process.
"They look so happy and content," said another staff member after a visit with the girls in their new home. "We are thankful that these girls are in a safe family, and we are confident that they will be okay."

*Name changed to protect identity
Learning to grow
RWANDA – At only 17 pounds, little Imanirakoze was only half the weight of a healthy child his age—despite how hard his mother Venantie worked to provide enough food for him and his siblings.
Displaced children desperate for hope in Iraq
IRAQ – Torn from everything they have ever known, children living in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps in Northern Iraq are scared and confused—unsure of what the future holds as ISIS continues to terrorize the region.

text: It is a very healing intense fight after Morchok & Yor'sahj. I concur with your assessment of the logs. we had a similar problem the first time we did the fight.we found it was best to have a dedicated tank healer and have him stand off to the side and basically not involve himself withe the tennis mechanics, and keep the tank topped off to the oint that he's not giung to die to psychic drain melee combo.

"OK – thanks. We are heading off to a couple of back to back exchanges in Europe in a couple of weeks. So Homelink has been good for us and we are planning a couple of others later this year." David, July 2013
"Thank you so much! I've said it before, but I will say it again, you two are so responsive. It is a pleasure to work with you. I will definitely share our story with you in the next few days." Molly, June 2013
"...Incidentally we greatly value HomeLink. We have been members of two other services.... Neither one had members who responded as consistently or seemed to have the ethics we espouse." Bruce & Melanie, June 2013
"Wow! Thank you. You all take very good care of us." Jeanetta, June 2013
"FANTASTIC! Thank you so much for the helpful and prompt reply :), Aloha" H & S, May 2013
"We continue to enjoy home exchange adventures and are about to go on our 8th swap this summer. We have tried exchanges with [2 other Home Exchange Companies], but now limit our search of exchange opportunities through HomeLink. We found that [competitor] was too limited in swap opportunities and we did not like their web site. Our experience with [competitor] was not good as it seemed that many of their members were really looking to rent their place rather than to accept a simultaneous or non-simultaneous exchange. As for Homelink, we like your exchange agreement and your web site plus we have had nothing but positive experiences with our six Homelink exchanges. Keep up the good work." Bruce & Melanie, April 2013
"Hi Katie, by totally different I mean that your listings are not duplicates of the [competitor's] listings, in addition, I see many more professionals using your site…"Better Different". Thank you again for your professionalism and customer service." Carl, March 2013

"HI, Many thanks for your prompt answer and offer to help. It looks as if we found a replacement for our exchange already…I got two offers in the meantime since i wrote to you. So your support system works! Many thanks. I'll keep you posted!" S.B., February 2013
"Glad I could help, Katie. You folks do such an excellent job with HomeLink. I know I speak for many when I say thanks so much. We appreciate it." JD & Pat, January 2013
"...My partner and I have had 2 amazing experiences thanks to HomeLink! I am very grateful for the service and everything it offers. We had a wonderful time this fall in Paris and in Barcelona thanks to HomeLink. We met friendly and warm people and loved our trips. Our home was well cared for by our visitors. Best wishes to you for 2013!" Rachel, January 2013
"Hi Katie, thank you so much for being so honest! I really appreciate that! That's really great." Erica, December 2012

"Wow, Katie! Customer Service Surpreme!...Thanks for the info." John C, May 2012
"Hi Katie, Gosh, I just don't know how you always answer so fast with all the people you have to keep track of. Thanks for straightening out my site. I am not so computer literate sometimes...We are so happy that we are now retired and can take advantage of HomeLink. When we were members before we had to turn down so many offers due to our working schedule and little vacation time. Now we are ready to GO, GO, GO! Thanks....................can't wait to exchange!" L, January 2012
"Dear Katie, Thank you so much for all of your help with my house swap questions, renewal, rental, etc...You have been truly wonderful to work with. All of my exchanges have been wonderful! Thank you so much for bringing such fabulous experiences to so many! I am truly grateful!" Maggie M, September 2011
"Dear Karl and Katie, I just want to thank you for the wonderful job you have done in creating and managing HomeLink so well. I am a longtime member and have enjoyed many fascinating experiences by exchanging my house..." Washington DC, September 2011
"Hi Katie, Well, that was the best example of customer reponse I believe I have ever received from any service-provider, anywhere anytime, even going back to the 1960's, when people were more considerate and responsive. Thank you." David C, June 2011
"Thank you. I think you run a class act business. I appreciate the customer service so much!" Tom & Barbara Memory from Georgia, March 2011
"Katie, Another compliment for your company. I joined and created listings on HomeLink and [another house swap company] on the same day. For every one request from [another house exchange company] we are receiving three from HomeLink. HomeLink must have superior management." Curtis Holloway & Gabrielle Starr, February 2011
"Dear Katie & Karl, This was the most enjoyable experience imaginable...and we haven't even had our trip yet. We found the most delightful people to swap with and the search was fun and easy to do. Your website and individual care were extremely important to us and we are sure we will continue to travel this way into the future as long as we can. Thank you for everything you have done for us. Happy holidays to you." Cyndy B, December 2010
"HomeLink has the best website of any house exchange site I investigated. The site makes it very easy to communicate with other members, view listings, and determine exact location. Importantly, unlike other sites, your listings are kept current - with members who are active and interested in exchanges. Thank you for your good work and customer service." San Francisco, December 2010
"HomeLink has been my only way to vacation for the past 7 years. I love the experience and have made wonderful friends from the people who have exchanged with me. Thank you for your wonderful company." Dana, December 2010
"...I can only say that HomeLink is a wonderful organization for us. We have done 18 exchanges on 3 continents and have no regrets whatsoever. It's a wonderful way to travel." Veronique, December 2010
"Dear Katie and Karl---just wanted to add my comments to those you have already received on house exchange. We will have our 100th exchange-since l975- tomorrow in Amelia Island, FL. What a great life we have had with exchanges! Very few complaints, and so many new friends. We started exchanging when our kids were toddlers and now we take our great grandchildren with us. I have one word of advice-an exchanger must be flexible and ready to laugh at minor inconveniences or unexpected events. I could write a book and it would be a comedy about house exchange experiences."Linda- Santa Fe, NM, October 2010
"Hi-Just a quick note to thank you for providing HomeLink. It is much more than a convenience or a process - its a way of life! We have marveled with our exchangers at the incredible article of faith we all particpate in. People outside [this way of life] are amazed that we consider allowing "strangers" into our house and cars. There must be a self-select process that brings only honest, kind, generous people together. We have been on exchanges to Del Mar and Dana Point CA and last month to Vancouver - all fantastic. Combined with frequent flyer miles, It?s the ultimate travel bargain! Again, thanks." Skip Hare", October 2010
"We want, first of all sent to you our CONGRATULATIONS! Because these house exchange works, to be honest we pay in some others companies of these type, and the one that works better is yours. " Alejandro H.
"I just signed up for HomeLink yesterday, received my member number and password this morning, received three lovely exchange offers today, and made one house swap offer myself -- which was accepted, and we're working out those details. All within 24 hours! I am impressed and very happy." Linda B.
"I would also like to let you know how happy we have been with HomeLink. We first started with house Exchange with very poor results. Since we joined your service we have had a constant stream of inquiries. We have exchanges set for Paris in July, London in September, plus Stuttgart and the South of Spain next year. This is great. " Jim G.
"Within about 12 hours of registering we got the perfect swap" Susan S.
"I finally got the exchange we want after four months of trying. Hurray for HomeLink!" Susan L. (note: Susan joined HomeLink just seven days prior to sending the email)
"We just returned from a 14-week trip involving 3 consecutive house exchanges in England and France. Sure love house exchanging! Thank you" ? Bobbi & Gene K.
"I am happy to report that we have recently returned from a 2 month fabulous house exchange in Spain and Italy. This makes for 5 wonderful long term vacations thanks to HomeLink. After observing my brother-in-law's success, we were hooked. All of our friends are envious. The HomeLink organization is great! "? Rhonda A.
"Thank you for a well-organized site and a wonderful service provided. We had tried a different house exchange site before and yours was easier to cross-reference, look for exactly what we wanted and had a broader base of users so that it was no problem matching up with what we were looking for. We just returned from a great 5 week holiday in Great Britain where we did two separate exchanges. Both families and houses were terrific and it is definitely the only way to go with kids in tow." ? Tristen T
"I am so excited about HomeLink. We have arranged an exchange for a month in Italy beginning next week. It's a trip I've been dreaming of for about 10 years and could never have done without your organization. Everyone I've corresponded with or met through HomeLink so far is someone I'd be proud to call a friend and feel enriched by knowing. Thank you for your great service." ? Penny M.
"Just came back from my first house swap ever - me in France, them in Santa Monica - and it worked wonderfully. we had the best time. I've been telling all my friends about your organization. Thanks for all your work and for setting up HomeLink." ? Sharon W."
"This is a great program. We have met some great people & had marvellous holidays."? Eugene & Mary R.
"We've just returned from a very successful exchange in Scotland and look forward to our next one scheduled for December." ? John E
"We just came back from a magnificent month in Paris. Our exchangers were exceptional, they were the most considerate people. They replaced everything they had used in our place, including salt!!" ? Olga B
"Karol and I had a wonderful swap with people in Redondo Beach, CA, for our honeymoon in June and we are going to have a swap with people in Yorkshire, England the end of September. Thank you" ? Richard W
Ron and Phyl Frasa - "We have been members of HomeLink International since 1984 and have been enjoying frequent, wonderful, local and overseas house exchange holidays - now eighteen in all! All of them in comfortable houses and interesting locations at minimal costs, while making some lasting friendships with 'exchangers' and their friends.
During our eighteen exchanges we have never had anything missing from our house or damaged, except for the accidental breakage of crockery or an ornament - which we have also accidentally done in our exchanger's house.
We would not be able to afford so many holidays if we had to pay for motel accommodation, rental cars, and dining out all the time.
Wishing you and your members lots of exciting future exchanges."
Jason & Meredith - "Hi, we have just got back from a major trip from UK, we had 3 house swaps in UK in the one trip. We also traveled with a 2 and 4 year old with us. Wow what a hall!!
We traveled right across England from Devon County to Scotland to Ireland and back, around 20,000 kilometres in 4 months, 85 castles and a hell of a lot of B&Bs to boot. I loved it, my wife ... well just put it this way, I'm still sucking up to her as she ended up being the baby sitter.
People still look at us as if we're strange. They say "You went where? For how long? With two kids at that age? Are you all there?" The answer to that must be "no". But you only have one life, LIVE IT. By the way we don't live in the grand palace, but do have a nice three bed with a spa on the Sunshine Coast 5 min from the Beach."
Wendy Bradley - "Last year we made four hospitality exchanges to France, Holland, Germany, and England. This year I am returning to Europe to spend more time with friends made on previous hospitality exchanges in the Lake District, and in Burgundy in France.
"There are some very special experiences that are unique to hospitality exchange holidays. The most important has been friendships that last long after the visit is over. We like the sense of being a part of the place where we are staying. And having your hosts there to make suggestions each day about what to see, often away from the beaten track, makes for experiences and memories different to the usual.
"If you can't live without every aspect of your life being predictable, if you don't really like meeting new people, if you don't think of life as a wonderful adventure with surprises around every corner, then hospitality and house exchange are probably not for you.
"But if like us, you travel to meet people and learn about how different and similar we all are, then hospitality is the holiday for you. Good luck, enjoy the experience, give it a go!"
June Arnold - "Well, we have just returned from our 7 week UK holiday, when we explored England, Scotland, and Wales, and it was great! Our hosts met us at Heathrow, had the flat stocked with food for us and anything else we might need and went out of their way to assist us. Our house base at Newmarket near Cambridge provided us with a 'house away from house'.
Now it is our turn to do the same for them when they come here at Christmas. We trust that we can make their stay as enjoyable as ours was.
Long live HomeLink International!"
Mrs Rayson - "Just a short note to let you know that our house swap in Melbourne in August was a great success. We also had a swap in Canada last September and couldn't have been happier with the results. Each time we have met the people that we have swapped with and they have kept in touch.
In February we head off to Cornwall in England for a swap and we can't wait - we feel as though we know the people from Cornwall already after many phone calls and letters.
We feel that house swapping is a brilliant concept and we look forward to many more."
Leanne Watson - "Using the HomeLink International directories we arranged a world trip with three exchanges, one in Italy, one in Switzerland, and the other in the USA.
I constantly tell people that our world holiday was better than we ever could have wished for.
We have since had two swaps closer to house - one near Moreton Bay in Brisbane and another to a house on the Gold Coast. All have been great holidays, and we are looking forward to many more."
Norma Turnbull - "We are enthusiastic house exchangers since our first swap in May, when we exchanged cars and houses with Berry and Barbara from Sorrento in Perth.
At present we are planning a more extensive trip through HomeLink International to Canada and North America, and have already had two international HomeLink members stay here with us, with more expected in the New Year."
Norma Wykes - "Since we wrote last year we have been house and hospitality exchanging to England, France, the Hunter Valley, Runaway Bay, Mildura and the Barossa Valley. And we have also hosted people from Germany, USA and Canada. Now we have invitations to spend time in Lake Tahoe and Napa Valley in California, also the Burgundy region of France and the Black Forest in Germany."
Rob & Judy Mathieson - "We have had two successful exchanges so far. Our first swap was to Beechworth! We had never thought of going there for a holiday, but thought "Why not!" as this was the reason for holiday swaps. We met with our exchange couple on the way. I was a little nervous, thinking what if we don't like them! But all was well - they were a lovely couple and we filled each other in on the finer points of our houses.
"Our second swap was to Kangaroo Island - what a delight! It was our exchange partners' first swap and they were really apprehensive. However, we talked to them on the phone and during the exchange, they said that if this was what holiday swapping was about then they were completely sold on the idea.
"We have been pouring through the latest HomeLink directory and look forward to our next trip soon!"
Kate Quinton - "Our first exchange was with an English couple - we swapped our holiday unit on the Sunshine Coast with their luxury holiday apartment on the French Riviera. Overlooking the Marina and the Bay des Anglais it was very centrally situated. We then had the use of our German exchanger's apartment in the French Alps, set in the most marvellous scenery, while their house was in a small village just a few kilometres from the Rhine. This was an ideal base to explore the many medieval castles and villages in the area. We then stayed with the Netherlands couple in their house on a dyke - a hospitality exchange.
"We were delighted with our exchanges. We went prepared to take what was offered, any small inconveniences, which were no fault of our hosts, were rendered insignificant by the warmth of our welcome and the delightful setting of the houses. All the houses we stayed in were very comfortable and welcoming to come house to. Our days were filled with relaxing at the beach, picnicking by the Rhine, feasting on mussels in Belgium or sampling the wines in France. Even just shopping for food supplies in Europe was a cultural experience in itself. We definitely recommend house exchange and we are now planning our next trip!"
Christine Hall - "My husband and I have just returned from a round-the-world-holiday experience of a lifetime, thanks to a large contribution from HomeLink International. Our first two swaps were in Alberta Canada for 8 weeks - 5 weeks in Rocky Mountain House, a small town east of the Rockies, and 3 weeks in Calgary.
"Next swap - Vienna, a hospitality exchange. We were a little uncertain about accepting hospitality exchange, but our host was so keen to have us visit we could hardly have said no. It was a wonderful visit in a small village, 20 kilometres by train from Vienna and next to the famous woods.
"Then back to England for three weeks in Nottinghamshire. Our fellow exchangers were teachers and the timing was perfect for them - in the August school holidays - a happy coincidence. We didn't actually meet, but our cars passed on the A1! Everything worked perfectly. Thank you HomeLink for this wonderful adventure."
Ian and Silvi - "Our first exchange was last year to Norway and we are waiting for our family from Spain to come this weekend. A second Spanish family will be here all of March. We hope to travel to Spain in Sept/Oct next year. We will then catch up with our Norwegian exchange family. We will be searching for more exchanges in Europe before our trip. So far everything has worked very well for us."
Barry and Maureen Rogers - "We spent a wonderful 2 weeks in Wenduine in Belgium on the coast. To travel by train we bought a 50 euro train pass which enabled us to travel as far as possible in one direction for 5 euros each and then the same for return. We visited a lovely town called Ipers and went through a fantastic museum which has a simulated no-mans land complete with sound effects. Our host, who moved out of his apartment for us, took us to Paris for the weekend and we saw so much as he had spent a lot of time there. Highlight of our trip.
His daughter came to our house for 2 weeks the next year and she was a great person to have around. Not a member now (but still hoping to be again if husband's health improves), I would only stay in apartments with handy access to rail or transport, close to shops, and with good security. Houses out in the sticks with no conveniences would be a no-no. Always go to the local pub, even if you don't drink, and the locals will be delighted.
HomeLink is a great way to see the world! Thanks for including the ex-members in your newsletters.
Joanne and Kim - "We exchanged to Oxford, UK in 2004/5 and recently returned from an exchange to Hobart. Both times we have had wonderful experiences with the house and car exchange. This time we were fortunate to meet our swapees - and we had a terrific dinner and chat. Now we are looking for exchanges in UK and France for the Rugby World Cup in 2007 - and feel confident it will all work out beautifully."
Fran - "We were in Europe for six months last year and did six hospitality/house/non-simultaneous exchanges. But, they were in France, Germany and Austria. Next May we are off to Italy, and are currently working on an exchange in Scotland for 2008."
Tess & Dave - "We have recently taken early retirement and joined HomeLink last Oct ... have loved house exchange!!! We spent all of September 2006 in a delightful cottage with beautiful gardens in a small village called Sparford in the UK and 3 weeks in August in a country property in Belgium. We also spent 3 weeks in Auckland in May, again delightful house and garden."

Every time I say it on tour I get a laugh (point for me). The hill on the edge of the golf course on campus is the best place to go sledding. I had reported this fact to a countless number of families that tour McDaniel but I had never experienced it for myself. Tuesday the Weather Channel was predicting the storm of the year. It was supposed to be the biggest snow of the winter for this area. In anticipation the big red pop-up came across the home screen of McDaniel.edu "McDaniel College will be closed from midnight to 11pm on Wednesday…" Cheers could be heard from all over campus as the campus alert caught up to each person's phone. The tsunami of cheers then lead into a night of procrastination and late night snowball fights.
I spent my Tuesday night watching Star Wars Return of the Jedi (which was a first ever viewing) and then when I heard voiced outside, I proceeded to watch the entertainment of a snowball fight with the football players that live across the hall and other people in the North Village quad. It was an entertaining way to spend the wee hours of the morning.
Wednesday afternoon rolls around and I decided I should at least get out of bed and eat something. Then my roommate wanted to go take pictures in the snow. Well, that turned into a snowball fight very quickly. The wet, chunky snow was perfect for mashing it into clumps to chuck at your closest and most dear friends. After dinner, I headed to the golf course bundled in my 4 layers of clothing. I hadn't been sledding in years. And never done it on McDaniel's campus. I was ready. I felt like a child again. I and two other tour guides did Admissions proud as we cleared the large hill and two other hills sliding down to the bottom. The walk up was not so fun but a nice work out considering how lazy I had been the rest of the day.
Once we had used all the snow on that hill we relocated to what seemed to be a smaller hill but proved to require more skill. You see, this hill has a pond right at the bottom and one strong push from the top could send you swimming like a duck. Once again I slid down with the two other tour guides…we screamed as we inched closer and closer to the frigid water when finally, about a foot away, ditched the sled to stop. The laughter roared as we then had trouble finding the best way to make it back up the hill. Once we made it about halfway up, we were greeted by snowballs being thrown from all different directions. Obviously, we retaliated right away. That's when the war began.
I had no idea whose team I was on. I couldn't even pick one myself because I had no enemies and friends on both sides. After a few snowballs to the knee and a couple to the face and head I sat o the ground in defeat.
It has been a while since I had that much fun outside. I am not an outdoorsy person, especially in the winter, but that was the highlight of my semester so far. It was great to be out there without a care in the world just having fun with all my friends (most of which will be leaving me in May). It's nights like these that you remember why you love being here. Its more than just the academic and professional opportunities. It's also about the friends you make along the way. They help to shape your experience for the better and I would not be the happy person i am today if it weren't for all of them. I don't know what I would do without the friendships I have made t McDaniel!

The city is in the region Hessen.
The Frankfurter Roemer is one of the most beautiful Town Halls in the republic and for over 600 years the seat of city government. Here are the duty room of the Mayor, the Chamber of the City Council and the meeting hall of the Municipality. Walking through the historic rooms of the Goethe House is not only childhood and youth of the great poet. Today, his birthplace is also connected with a good museum. Between year 1998 and 2000 there was built and designed the "Forest Spiral" by the famous artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The revolutionary, colorful and full of every shape architecture is shown here in all its glory. In the tower at the southeast corner there is a restaurant and cocktail bar, situated in the opposite tower café.Airport

Effort to recall mayor may be gaining steam
HEY SIGNALMTNMAN, no wonder you disagree with this. You probably make alot of money. Ppl like me who live.....you know what, I'm going to stop right there. Live up there and look down on us. The people trying their best to recall the mayor are doing this as volunteers. No tax payer money wasted there, just tax paying voters expressing their opinion about elected officials that get paid by tax payers. That makes us their boss, and if they are not doing their job than we must fire them. Do your homework before you give your opinion. Your opinion should include facts, not just what you think is going on. Educate yourself. BTW do you pay city tax?

Davie — Guard John Jerry was the only one of the eight Dolphins draft picks on the field Friday who doesn't play defense, but he felt awkward on the first day of organized team activities for a different reason.
It was the first time in his life he went through a full practice lining up in a left-handed stance.
"It's something new for me, but it's something I'm willing to work at," said the 6-foot-5, 328-pound Jerry, who only played on the right side of the line at Ole Miss. "I think with a little more time I'll get it down."

chromatography A technique used to separate molecules based on how they tend to bind to various solids, liquids, and gases; based on the
differential distribution of the substances between a stationary phase (sticky material such as silica gel or silicic acid, usually contained in a column, tube, or capillary) and a gaseous or
liquid mobile phase (a medium that carries the sample through the stationary phase). This very effective technique can separate substances that
are nearly identical.
chromophore A molecule that absorbs UV or visible light.
chromosome A long and complex DNA chain containing the genetic information (genes) of a cell. Prokaryotes contain only a single chromosome;
eukaryotes have more than one, made up of a complex of DNA, RNA, and protein. The exact number of chromosomes is species-specific.
Humans have 23 pairs.
Clean-in-place; a way to clean large vessels (tanks, piping, and associated equipment) without moving them or taking them apart, using a
high-pressure rinsing treatment, sometimes followed by steam-in-place (SIP) sanitization. Chemically cleaning and sterilizing equipment or systems without removing them from their installed location.
clarify To clear liquid of suspended particles through filtration, extraction/precipitation, or centrifugation.
classical pharmaceuticals Small- molecule, nonbiotech drugs produced by chemical synthesis.
clean room A room in which the concentration of airborne particulate matter is controlled at specific limits to facilitate the manufacture
of sterile and high-purity products. Clean rooms are classified according to the number of particles per volume of air to
meet standards of cleanliness. Contaminants on surfaces and people entering and exiting the room also are controlled.
clearance Demonstrated removal of an impurity or potential contaminant from a product.
clinical development The phases of drug development during which a drug is tested in human subjects, also referred to as clinical trials.
clinical endpoint An indicator (such as blood pressure) measured in a human subject to assess the safety, efficacy, or other objective of a
clinical trial.
clinical hold Temporary cessation of a clinical trial by FDA if the agency is concerned about a drug or study protocol. The trial may resume
when the problem is solved.
clone To duplicate exactly, whether a gene or a whole organism; or an organism that is a genetically identical copy of another organism.
cloning vectors Methods of transferring desired genes to organisms that will be used to express them. Cloning vectors are used to make recombinant

Chemistry, manufacturing, and controls; the section of a BLA, NDA, or IND describing the composition, manufacture, and specifications of a drug product and its ingredients.
Contract manufacturing organization; a company contracted to perform development and/or manufacturing services.
coacervation The process of forming a coacervate (a mass of small particles bound together by electrostatic attraction) by the partial
mixing of two or more liquids.
codon A sequence of three nucleotide bases that codes for a specific amino acid.
colorimetry The measurement and definition of unknown colors in terms of standard colors; techniques may be visual, photoelectric,
or spectrophotometric; colorimetry is useful in determining the concentration of a chemical with color in a solution by measuring
the intensity of the color and relating that intensity to the concentration of the solution.
column A vertical, cylindrical container or vessel often used in separation processes such as extraction, distillation, and chromatography.

Police are pictured outside of a Century 16 movie theatre where as many as 14 people were killed and many injured at a shooting during the showing of a movie at the in Aurora, Colo., Friday, July 20, 2012. (AP Photo/Ed Andrieski)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. Department of Defense says three members of the U.S. Armed Forces were wounded in a movie theater shooting in Colorado and one is unaccounted for.
The agency says a Navy sailor was injured and a male sailor who was at the theater early Friday morning cannot be located. The sailors are part of a Navy Cyber Command unit at nearby Buckley Air Force base.
Two Air Force airmen based at Buckley were also wounded, but their specific unit hasn't been released.
Both branches of the military are working with the families of the service members to make sure they are cared for.
The Defense Department also says the suspect, James Holmes, is not a past or current member of any branch or component of the Armed Forces.

AP National Writers
Playing football at Michigan got Joe Holland more than an education.
It got him a job. Two, in fact.
The linebacker on the Wolverines' 1988 Big Ten championship team was hired out of college by a fellow Michigan alum, with his football connections landing him the initial interview. That he'd worn the famed winged helmet caught the eye of his second employer, too.
"The president of this startup was a huge Michigan fan and lived in Ann Arbor and was a good friend of Bo Schembechler. I'm going to potentially go work for these guys and he's a Michigan fan? That didn't hurt me," said Holland, now the co-owner of an Internet software company.
"So yes, it's absolutely been helpful."
The debate over paying college athletes has clouded this entire football season, beginning with allegations in August that 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel received money for signing autographs. Johnny Football was eventually cleared, but the NCAA is still fighting an antitrust lawsuit by former players who believe they're owed billions of dollars in compensation.
At the NCAA's annual convention later this month, restructuring proposals driven, in part, by larger schools wanting more autonomy -- including the ability to give athletes stipends -- will top the agenda.
"We're not talking about pay for play," Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said. "We are talking about the cost of education."
But what, exactly, is a college education worth?
Using public and telephone records and social media, The Associated Press traced 90 players who were listed as seniors on the 1988 teams at four schools -- Michigan, SEC co-champion Auburn, Akron and Wake Forest. The 23 -- enough for a starting offense and defense -- who could be reached by phone were asked if they got their degrees, what role their educations have played in their lives and, looking back 25 years later, whether they think the tradeoff was worth it.
(One player is dead, and another five had names too common to be traced.)
The AP's findings:
-- Each of the 23 had earned his diploma.
-- All said their educations have played pivotal roles in their lives.
-- Though almost all said players should receive increased stipends -- enough to get a pizza with friends or take their girlfriend out to dinner, not buy a new Escalade -- only two questioned whether the scholarship they got for playing football was a fair tradeoff.
-- Only one would make a different choice if given the chance to do it over or would advise his child to take a different path.
"You've got a unique experience that millions of people would die to have. To put on the uniform, to go into the largest stadium in the country and to get a free education," said J.J. Grant, one of Michigan's starting linebackers in 1988 and now a shipping team leader for MillerCoors.
"It's a huge opportunity to put your foot into a door and open a conversation into just about anything you want to do."
For some players, an athletic scholarship was their only means of going to college. Tuition, even at a state school, was too expensive, and that scholarship meant the difference between higher education and a blue-collar job or a career in the military.
More than that, however, were the experiences and contacts their education provided -- opportunities that helped shape their adult lives.
For some, college was their first time away from home; one player said he wasn't sure if he'd ever have ventured beyond the state where he grew up otherwise. For others, their status as a college football player gave them entree to a future employer, be it through a direct connection or the affection the large network of alumni and fans have for anyone who wore their favorite team's jersey.
"The first couple years, I knew people who were interested in what I did," said Jim Thompson, an offensive lineman at Auburn. "I write big-truck insurance. It's not like car insurance. It's a specialized market. I don't think playing college football hurt me."
When Tennessee Titans defensive line coach Tracy Rocker got into coaching, he already had a long list of contacts from his days at Auburn, where he was a two-time All-American and the SEC player of the year in 1988. Grant's former Michigan teammates are now a "Who's Who" of athletic administrators, business executives and coaches, San Francisco's Jim Harbaugh among them.
While his friends don't play a pivotal role in his career, they might for his son Derek, a college junior who ultimately wants to get into sports management.
