this guesthouse is in a very good location with a bus stop to the city nearby. Very good value for money.
Everything was fine and pleasant !!! They did everything possible for us to feel as good as possible. We will gladly come back !!!
Everything was fine and pleasant !!!
Mick and all the staff were ever helpful. Although the accommodation is a bit aged, it is spotlessly clean. For those without a vehicle there is a bus stop outside with a regular service to the city centre, or you can stroll there in 15 minutes. university across the road has a very good cheap restaurant with a variety of dishes. Good value all round
The headline says it all. The people were cool. Perhaps a little too laid back.
Felt like a Rathmines bedside. Cool if you like beauty board, spiders and suicide.
A no nonsense hospitality that delivers
I did not like when the card machine was not working and that a €5 extra was proposed than the price quoted. It is important that the customer brings their booking receipt. This should not happen.
Owners were very friendly and helpful.It is a 5 min walk to UCC.It was very clean and breakfast was fantastic.I will definitely stay here again.
Location was food. Opposite the university you could walk into the city through the lovely grounds. We had a room towards the back so it was quiet. The breakfast was adequate. The host was helpful.
The carpet was badly stained and appeared very dirty. The carpet in the breakfast room was also stained and had poor furnishings. It was quite expensive for the amenities.
Great hosts, very comfy bedroom, lovely surroundings. I'll come back for sure.
A bit tricky to find the guesthouse among the other many guesthouses of the street.
A wonderful, cosy, warm family-run guesthouse. We have been stayed there each time in Cork since 2011. The best option for those who value family-run house, warm personal attitude and exceptional Irish hospitality. Perfect for thise who ar lecturing or visiting University College Cork, which main entrance is just opposite to the guesthouse.
Lovely friendly family run B&B Will return again
Hospitality and friendliness from the staff, Value for money, Comfort, Location
Shower was slow to warm up
Only a 10 minute walk to town centre.
In need of complete redecoration. No toiletries provided. Shower was barely more than a trickle. Television picture kept breaking up.
Lovely place.Great breakfast,quiet at night and run by lovely people. Highly recommended.
Location, staff, breakfast, service
Owner's and staff friendly and a nice laid back atmosphere. Good full irish breakfast next morning. Would go back.
Room could do with a lick of paint
We liked everything about this place . The room was clean and warm the food was excellent great choice.shops and restaurants nearby.owners very helpful
Staff friendly and helpful breakfast great
Mattress too lumpy and pillows to flat no spare pillows
Superb location for key sites, such as Cork gaol, UCC and Fitzgerald's park. The hosts were warm and welcoming. The breakfast was hearty. Nice walk into city centre. Clean and comfy room.
Could do with some updating and a lick of paint especially the bathroom. Also a little shelf to put our toiletries on would have been welcome.
Open internet access, excellent breakfast, friendly staff, comfortable homely room with ensuite, kettle and TV, close to city centre, room key also opened front door.
Nothing, it was great!
location and staff
mattress and room size
-Very friendly owners -It was no problem to move into the room earlier than indicated -Leaving the luggage in the accommodation during the next day was no problem as well
-The bed of the double bedroom was too small for two people and there was just one blanket -The street was very loud during the night
We liked Mick the genial Host, the nearness to downtown, the breakfast and the overall value for money here.
would have liked to have directions more clearly described
The staff is very kind.
There is a lot of steps to get to your room.
Excellent connectivity by local bus - the bus stop and a city sightseeing stop are right outside the door. Warm and friendly staff with personalized attention and service. Delicious home cooked Irish breakfast!

While some businesses struggle with the dry weather during the holidays, others don't mind it. And one particular kind of business prepares for plenty of customers on the holiday.
Movie theaters opened their doors Tuesday for people looking to enjoy a film this Christmas.
A constant stream of people moved through the AMC Showplace in South Bend, looking to check out the newest movies in theaters.
Movies have been released on Christmas day for over 50 years. Movie theater managers said that Christmas is one of their biggest days of the year.
Currently, the single day box-office record for a Christmas day release is held by the movie Sherlock Holmes, which was released in 2009, grossing over $24 million that day.
But for many, it's not so much about the movie as it is the tradition and the chance to spend time with those close to them.
"Being with family, we made plans together," said Robert Winet. "And we decided to come to the movies. It's like a tradition we do every year. We come to Showplace."
"It's been a tradition in our family for a couple years now, to come out to the movies and hang out with family," said Rick Lee. "Out of town guest come in and take them to the movie theaters and show off the beautiful movie theaters we have here in South Bend."
"We get away from all of the Christmas shopping that already been done, squeezing in and out of every place and being on all of the time constraints," said Mike Hardin. "You can just take your time, come in, sit down and enjoy a movie together."
"I had been to church already and had visited with some friends," said Joe Mauck. "Went down to the homeless shelter, helped out there and did what I could. And then I thought well time to go see a good movie."

Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne's iconic dreads are still reportedly intact, however, the Young Money boss is donning a face injury this week in New Orleans.
According to reports, Wayne has caught the media's attention just from rocking his hair pulled back during Super Bowl Week in New Orleans
In the photos, it looked as if Wayne had cut off his locks, but MTV News contributor Kelley L. Carter — who watched Tunechi perform at a pre-Super Bowl party in New Orleans and even posed for a picture with the "A Milli" MC — said Weezy's wig is still intact. "I'm pretty sure he still had his dreads and they were pulled back in a ponytail," she told us Friday (February 1). "In fact, I'm like 1,000 percent positive. I would've noticed that." Carter sent MTV News some exclusive photos that she snapped that ultimately debunk the hair-chopping theory. The angle mixed with the manner in which the rapper had his hair tied back did make it seem as if he had gotten a haircut and was wearing a mini-afro, but the picture was deceiving. (MTV)
Aside from the hairy situation, Wayne has also raised a few eyebrows from rocking a new face bandage.
Weezy was, however, rocking a brand-new scar on his face that he got while skateboarding but covered up with a bandage. According to Billboard, Wayne performed onstage for nearly an hour at Thursday's EA Games party, rocking songs like "John" and "She Will," both from his 2011 Tha Carter IV LP. (MTV)
Initial speculation of Wayne slicing off his dreadlocks heated up the Internet early Friday (February 1).
We never thought this day would come. Lil Wayne has been growing his long dreadlocks ever since his career launched with the Hot Boyz back in the early 2000s, and while it looked like he cut them off, he actually fooled us all. The Carter IV rapper hung out with Big Boi yesterday, and it looked like he was rocking a new short-haired look, but he in reality, he is just growing out his dreads even more while they are pulled back. (Global Grind)
Just a few weeks ago, Wayne inked a new facial tattoo onto his head.
You know what they say: "New year, new face tattoo." At least that's what Lil Wayne says. The rapper-turned-skateboarder decided to pay homage to skateboard company Baker the best way he knows how–by tattooing the word "baked" on his forehead. Weezy, who already has stars, a lightning bolt and teardrops (among other things) tattooed on his noggin, chose the area above his right eye for his new ink because… that's the only place he has left? (FUSE TV)

Rant of the Week
Experience. Dream. Risk. Close one your eyes and jump. Enjoyed the free-fall. Choose exhilaration over comfort. Choose a magic over predictability. Choose potential over safety. Wake up to the magic of everyday life. Make friends with your intuition. Trust your gut. Discover the beauty of uncertainty. Know yourself fully before you make promises to another. Make millions of mistakes so that you will know how to choose what you really need. Know how to hold on and when to let go. Love hard and often and without reservation. Seek knowledge. Open yourself to possibility. Keep your heart open, your head high and your spirit free. Embrace your darkness along with your light. The wrong every once in a while, and don't be afraid to admit it. Awaken to the brilliance of ordinary moments. Tell the truth about herself no matter what the costs. Own your reality without apology. See goodness in the world. Be bold. Be fierce. Be grateful. Be wild. Crazy and gloriously free. Be you. Go now, and live.

Travel Blogs from Fortaleza
New place new friends. Fortaleza was cool because right when I got there we went out. Some Chileans brought a big bottle of pisco and before you know it we all were riding happy on the way to pink elephant. It's a popular expensive night club they have here in Brazil. Anyways the next several days it was pretty much the same. Fortaleza to me seems a little rough and unsafe. I'll admit I had a good time here and my portuguese is getting ...
An up North trip and going Dutch
... We quickly bought our shirts and then joined the orange army. A free shuttle bus was put on from town out to the stadium a good half hour away which also turned out to be a great way to see a quick snapshot of the city. After the bus dropped us off there was a 20 minute walk to the stadium. Although sad England were out it was nice going to a game where you were less nervous and could enjoy the great atmosphere. After a quick bite to eat at a stall we settled down at a ...

We also bumped into Simon Harrison, a dude that went to Uni in Wellington. He was travelling with his family and was randomly on the same airport leaving at the same time and on the same plane as ...

... at half time. The stewards were not getting involved - obviously not wanting to bing down any rath on themselves or their families by upsetting the witch doctor. He (or the Ghanaian team at least) almost took home all 3 points but a German equaliser meant the game ended 2-2. 11 goals in 2 games was a good return so far. The journey home meant a lot of queuing and pushing to get on a bus - glad to leave behind the drunk Germans and the "too young" girls ...

So many people had pushed ahead of us and jumped the queue claiming one family member or another is somewhere down the front. By this point, Jess had had enough and told one man firmly where he can go and find his other family members. Kathy and ...

Florida Citizens Bank robbed
Published: Tuesday, August 3, 2010 at 1:04 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 4, 2010 at 6:46 a.m.
OCALA - A busy bank on East Silver Springs Boulevard was robbed shortly after noon Tuesday. The armed robber got away with an undetermined amound of cash. No one was injured.
Photo Galleries
According to Ocala Police, they received a call that at 12:30 p.m., a white male in his late 30s or mid-40s entered Florida Citizens Bank at 4201 E. Silver Springs Blvd. and brandished a black, semi-automatic handgun, demanding cash from tellers.
He received an undetermined amount of money before fleeing.
He was seen leaving the area in an older model tan F150 pickup, with its tailgate painted in a different color. The vehicle was seen going north on Northeast 42nd Ave.
The robber is described as being of strong build, with blue eyes. He was wearing light blue jeans, a dark blue zip-up sweat shirt, tan boots and a dark brown mesh baseball cap. His face was covered with a dark colored bandana.
Officials were reviewing the bank's video surveillance tapes for additional information.
This is the first bank robbery in the city this year, but the second in the county, following a bank hold-up last week in Dunnellon.
Officials said it was too soon to know if those two incidents are related.
The boulevard branch of Florida Citizens Bank was robbed Nov. 30, 2009, by Christopher Allen, 44, who died soon after of a heart attack, with a contributing factor of cocaine toxicity. His body was found less than a mile from the bank at the back of Fox Meadows subdivision by a woman walking her dogs.
In that case, officials recovered $1,805 in cash, a mask and a pellet gun.
Anyone with information about Tuesday's robbery can call Detective Steve Thibodeau at 369-7000, the Crime Line at 369-7001 or Crime Stoppers at 368-7867.
Contact Austin L. Miller at 867-4118 or email@example.com.

Take action before you hit the road
Updated On: Jul 01 2013 01:02:53 PM CDT
Checking mirrors and seat belts every time you get in your car might seem overly cautious, but driving experts say that what you do before you turn on the ignition may mean the difference between life and death.
"So many accidents can be traced back to bad decisions before you even get behind the driver's seat," said Jeff Purner, a professional driving instructor for Porsche Cars North America.
Routine maintenance is critical to your safety. For example, under-inflated tires are the primary cause of tire failures and can adversely affect your car's handling and fuel mileage. Check your tires, including your spare, at least once a month.
You should check your wiper blades monthly as well. Worn blades impact visibility and create glare on the windshield, even when they are not in use.
What you bring with you into your car could be the most critical decision of your day. Cell phones are one of the most dangerous items to use in your car. Anytime you're talking, texting or using GPS applications, you're not paying attention to the road. Purner said that using cell phones while driving, especially to text message, is as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Do yourself a favor, and turn your cell phone off, he said.
After switching off your cell phone, you should check and adjust your seat belt. The lap belt should rest low across your waist, and the shoulder strap should come over your shoulder and across your chest. Never put the shoulder strap under your armpit. Before turning on the ignition, adjust your rear-view and side-view mirrors. According to Purner, too many drivers set their mirrors to reflect the outside of their own car instead of the road.
"You already know where your car is; you should be concerned about where the other cars are so that you can avoid them," Purner said.
When positioning your hands on the steering wheel, hold the wheel at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock. In this position, you can turn the wheel the furthest without your hands crossing over. This hold also allows for a better "feel" and faster response time.

- Exposure to airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons during pregnancy and risk of preterm birth. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Environ Res 2014 Oct 2.:221-226.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Preterm birth is an important marker of health and has a prevalence of 12-13% in the U.S. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of organic contaminants that form during the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons, such as coal, diesel and gasoline. Studies suggest that exposure to PAHs during pregnancy is related to adverse birth outcomes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between exposure to PAHs during the pregnancy and preterm birth.The study population included births from years 2001 to 2006 of women whose maternal residence was within 20km of the primary monitoring site in Fresno, California. Data in the Fresno area were used to form a spatio-temporal model to assign daily exposure to PAHs with 4, 5, or 6 rings at the maternal residence throughout pregnancy of all of the births in the study area. Gestational age at birth and relevant covariates were extracted from the birth certificate.We found an association between PAHs during the last 6 weeks of pregnancy and birth at 20-27 weeks (OR=2.74; 95% CI: 2.24-3.34) comparing the highest quartile to the lower three. The association was consistent when each quartile was compared to the lowest (OR2nd=1.49, 95% CI: 1.08-2.06; OR3rd=2.63, 95% CI:1.93-3.59; OR4th=3.94, 95% CI:3.03-5.12). Inverse associations were also observed for exposure to PAHs during the entire pregnancy and the first trimester and birth at 28-31 weeks and 20-27 weeks.An association between PAH exposure during the 6 weeks before delivery and early preterm birth was observed. However, the inverse association with early preterm birth offers an unclear, and potentially complex, inference of these associations.
- Association between annual river flood pulse and paediatric hospital admissions in the Mekong Delta area. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Environ Res 2014 Oct 2.:212-220.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
The Mekong Delta is the most vulnerable region to extreme climate and hydrological conditions however the association between these conditions and children׳s health has been little studied. We examine the association between annual river flood pulse and paediatric hospital admissions in a Vietnam Mekong Delta city. Daily paediatric hospital admissions (PHA) were collected from the City Paediatric Hospital, and daily river water level (RWL) and meteorological data were retrieved from the Southern Regional Hydro-Meteorological Centre from 2008 to 2011. We evaluated the association between annual river flood pulse (>=90th percentile of RWL) and PHA using the Poisson distributed lag model, controlling for temperature, relative humidity, day of week, seasonal and long-term trends. The seasonal pattern of PHA was examined using harmonic and polynomial regression models. The cumulative risk ratios estimated for a 15-day period following an extreme RWL was 1.26 (95%CI, 1.2-1.38) for all age groups, 1.27 (95%CI, 1.23-1.30) for under five-years and 1.15 (95%CI, 1.07-1.20) for school-aged children, 1.24 (95%CI, 1.21-1.27) for all-causes, 1.18 (95%CI, 1.12-1.21) for communicable infection, 1.66 (95%CI, 1.57-1.74) for respiratory infection and 1.06 (95%CI, 1.01-1.1) for other diseases. The peak PHA risk is in the September-October period corresponding to the highest RWL, and the PHA-RWL association was modified by temperature. An increase in PHA is significantly associated with annual river flood, and the pattern of PHA is seasonally correspondent to the RWL. These findings combined with projected changes in climate conditions suggest important implications of climate change for human health in the Mekong Delta region.
- A national satellite-based land-use regression model for air pollution exposure assessment in Australia. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Environ Res 2014 Oct 2.:204-211.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Land-use regression (LUR) is a technique that can improve the accuracy of air pollution exposure assessment in epidemiological studies. Most LUR models are developed for single cities, which places limitations on their applicability to other locations. We sought to develop a model to predict nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations with national coverage of Australia by using satellite observations of tropospheric NO2 columns combined with other predictor variables. We used a generalised estimating equation (GEE) model to predict annual and monthly average ambient NO2 concentrations measured by a national monitoring network from 2006 through 2011. The best annual model explained 81% of spatial variation in NO2 (absolute RMS error=1.4ppb), while the best monthly model explained 76% (absolute RMS error=1.9ppb). We applied our models to predict NO2 concentrations at the ~350,000 census mesh blocks across the country (a mesh block is the smallest spatial unit in the Australian census). National population-weighted average concentrations ranged from 7.3ppb (2006) to 6.3ppb (2011). We found that a simple approach using tropospheric NO2 column data yielded models with slightly better predictive ability than those produced using a more involved approach that required simulation of surface-to-column ratios. The models were capable of capturing within-urban variability in NO2, and offer the ability to estimate ambient NO2 concentrations at monthly and annual time scales across Australia from 2006-2011. We are making our model predictions freely available for research.
- Acute toxic and genotoxic activities of widely used cytostatic drugs in higher plants: Possible impact on the environment. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Environ Res 2014 Oct 2.:196-203.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Cytostatic drugs are highly toxic pharmaceuticals and it was repeatedly postulated that they may cause adverse effects in ecosystems. The acute toxic and genotoxic properties of these drugs have not been adequately investigated in higher plants so far; therefore, we studied the most widely used drugs (5-flurouracil, 5FU; etoposide, Et; cisplatin, CisPt; carboplatin, CaPt; vincristine sulfate, VinS and cyclophosphamide monohydrate, CP) in micronucleus (MN) assays with meiotic pollen tetrad cells of Tradescantia and with root cells from Allium cepa. MNi are formed as a consequence of chromosome breaks and aneuploidy. We monitored also the acute toxic properties of the drugs, i.e. inhibition of cell division (mitotic indices and retardation of root growth) in the latter species. All compounds caused in both indicator plants genotoxic effects. The order of genotoxic potencies expressed as NOELs in µM was CisPt (0.1)≥Et (0.5)>CP (1.0)>CaPt (10)>5FU (30)>VinS (100) in Tradescantia. A similar order was seen in Allium MN but Et was less active (5.0µM). Four compounds caused alterations of the mitotic indices under the present conditions namely CisPt (0.5), Et (10.0), 5FU (10.0) and VinS (100). Inhibition of root growth decreased in the order CisPt (0.5)>Et (1.0)≥VinS (1.0)>5FU (5.0)>CaPt (33.0)>CP (>1000). Comparisons of the NOELs with the predicted environmental concentrations (PEC) show that the latter values are at least 5 orders of magnitude lower and indicate that it is unlikely that their release in the environment may cause adverse effects in higher plants. However, it is notable that the levels of both platinum compounds and of 5FU in hospital effluents may reach levels which may induce damage of the genetic material.
- Sources of halogenated brominated retardants in house dust in an industrial city in southern China and associated human exposure. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Environ Res 2014 Oct 2.:190-195.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) are a class of ubiquitous pollutants in the environment and attract increasing attention. In the present study, HFR concentrations were measured in indoor and outdoor dust in an important industrial city (Dongguan) in southern China, in which their presence and associated human exposure are unknown. The HFRs were dominated by polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE), with mean concentrations of 2365 and 2441ng/g in the indoor dust, respectively, which were 2-3 order of magnitude higher the concentrations of other HFRs. However elevated tri- to hepta-BDE concentrations (869ng/g) were found in Houjie Town, a furniture manufacturing center. The mean indoor/outdoor (I/O) ratios of HFR concentrations in the dust were all larger than one (1.55-16.4), suggesting the importance of indoors sources for HFRs in indoor dust in this industrial city. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the correlations among the HFRs in the indoor dust probably revealed differences in their commercial applications, while most HFRs in the outdoor dust have similar sources except for phased-out BDE47 and 99. The compositions of lower brominated PBDEs varied among the towns, probably due to their different sources or influence of photo-degradation. Nevertheless, the similar composition of highly brominated congeners indicated little photo-degradation encountered in the ambient environment. The non-cancer risk associated with indoor dust ingestion is low for the general population in Dongguan, but some children in the furniture manufacturing center have significantly high risk of exposure to banned PBDEs.
- Assessment of perfluoroalkyl substances in food items at global scale. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Environ Res 2014 Oct 1.:181-189.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
This study assessed the levels of 21 perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in 283 food items (38 from Brazil, 35 from Saudi Arabia, 174 from Spain and 36 from Serbia) among the most widely consumed foodstuffs in these geographical areas. These countries were chosen as representatives of the diet in South America, Western Asia, Mediterranean countries and South-Eastern Europe. The analysis of foodstuffs was carried out by turbulent flow chromatography (TFC) combined with liquid chromatography with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-QqQ-MS) using electrospray ionization (ESI) in negative mode. The analytical method was validated for the analysis of different foodstuff classes (cereals, fish, fruit, milk, ready-to-eat foods, oil and meat). The analytical parameters of the method fulfill the requirements specified in the Commission Recommendation 2010/161/EU. Recovery rates were in the range between 70% and 120%. For all the selected matrices, the method limits of detection (MLOD) and the method limits of quantification (MLOQ) were in the range of 5 to 650pg/g and 17 to 2000pg/g, respectively. In general trends, the concentrations of PFASs were in the pg/g or pg/mL levels. The more frequently detected compounds were perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA). The prevalence of the eight-carbon chain compounds in biota indicates the high stability and bioaccumulation potential of these compounds. But, at the same time, the high frequency of the shorter chain compounds is also an indication of the use of replacement compounds in the new fluorinated materials. When comparing the compounds profile and their relative abundances in the samples from diverse origin, differences were identified. However, in absolute amounts of total PFASs no large differences were found between the studied countries. Fish and seafood were identified as the major PFASs contributors to the diet in all the countries. The total sum of PFASs in fresh fish and seafood was in the range from the MLOQ to 28ng/g ww. According to the FAO-WHO diets composition, the daily intake (DI) of PFASs was calculated for various age and gender groups in the different diets. The total PFASs food intake was estimated to be between 2300 and 3800ng /person per day for the different diets. Finally, the risk intake (RI) was calculated for selected relevant compounds. The results have indicated that by far in no case the tolerable daily intake (TDI) (150, 1500, 50,000, 1,000,000, 150, 1500ng/kg body weight, for perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHxS), fluorotelomer alcohol (FTOH), perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS), perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA), PFOS and PFOA, respectively) was exceeded.
- The possible association between exposure to air pollution and the risk for congenital malformations. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Environ Res 2014 Sep 29.:173-180.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Over the last decade, there is growing evidence that exposure to air pollution may be associated with increased risk for congenital malformations.To evaluate the possible association between exposures to air pollution during pregnancy and congenital malformations among infants born following spontaneously conceived (SC) pregnancies and assisted reproductive technology (ART) pregnancies.This is an historical cohort study comprising 216,730 infants: 207,825 SC infants and 8905 ART conceived infants, during the periods 1997-2004. Air pollution data including sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter <10µm (PM10), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and ozone (O3) were obtained from air monitoring stations database for the study period. Using a geographic information system (GIS) and the Kriging procedure, exposure to air pollution during the first trimester and the entire pregnancy was assessed for each woman according to her residential location. Logistic regression models with generalized estimating equation (GEE) approach were used to evaluate the adjusted risk for congenital malformations.In the study cohort increased concentrations of PM10 and NOx pollutants in the entire pregnancy were associated with slightly increased risk for congenital malformations: OR 1.06(95% CI, 1.01-1.11) for 10µg/m(3) increase in PM10 and OR 1.03(95% CI, 1.01-1.04) for 10ppb increase in NOx. Specific malformations were evident in the circulatory system (for PM10 and NOx exposure) and genital organs (for NOx exposure). SO2 and O3 pollutants were not significantly associated with increased risk for congenital malformations. In the ART group higher concentrations of SO2 and O3 in entire pregnancy were associated (although not significantly) with an increased risk for congenital malformations: OR 1.06(95% CI, 0.96-1.17) for 1ppb increase in SO2 and OR 1.15(95% CI, 0.69-1.91) for 10ppb increase in O3. CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to higher levels of PM10 and NOx during pregnancy was associated with an increased risk for congenital malformations. Specific malformations were evident in the circulatory system and genital organs. Among ART pregnancies possible adverse association of SO2 and O3 exposure was also observed. Further studies are warranted, including more accurate exposure assessment and a larger sample size for ART pregnancies, in order to confirm these findings.
- A case-crossover analysis of the impact of PM2.5 on cardiovascular disease hospitalizations for selected CDC tracking states. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Environ Res 2014 Sep 29.:455-465.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Information is currently being collected by the CDC Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) network on hospitalizations due to Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) and there is interest by CDC in exploring the relationship between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and other cardiovascular (CVD) outcomes in the context of the EPHT program. The goal of this study was to assess the short term effects of daily PM(2.5) air pollution levels on hospitalizations for CVD for seven states within the CDC EPHT network (Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, and Washington).Hospitalization data was obtained for 2001-2008 admissions for circulatory disease (primary discharge diagnosis of ICD-9 codes 390-459) from data stewards in those states and included admission date, age, gender, and zip code of residence. We used CMAQ-derived predicted daily PM2.5 data as estimated by EPA at the centroid of each Census Bureau Zip Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) and linked to zip code of patient residence. A time-stratified case-crossover study design with conditional logistic regression was used to evaluate the short-term association of PM2.5 on risk of non-elective hospitalizations for CVD. Specifically, we considered all circulatory disease, ischemic heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, cerebrovascular disease and peripheral vascular disease endpoints.Data were obtained on over 7,500,000 hospitalizations for this time period. Mean annual PM2.5 exposure levels were lowest for New Mexico and Washington (6.5μg/m3 PM2.5 and 8.4μg/m3 PM2.5). New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts exhibited the highest annual averages for PM2.5, (12.8μg/m3, 11.1μg/m3 and 10.8μg/m3), respectively. The Northeast states (Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Hampshire and New York) exhibited significant effects of PM2.5 during the cooler months across most disease categories after adjustment for ozone and maximum apparent temperature. Ischemic heart disease risk per 10μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 varied from 1.02 to 1.05 for the cooler months. The largest lag effect was noted on lag days 0 and 1. New Mexico and Washington exhibited no cool or warm month significant effects. Although Florida showed no cooler month effects, significant increases were noted in odds ratios for the warm weather months for all outcomes except peripheral vascular disease. This study is one of the first large scale applications of linkage of hospitalization data by state with national US EPA statistically modeled air pollution data. The results demonstrate that state-wide, there are multiple cardiovascular outcomes in addition to AMI which may be impacted by particulate air pollution.
- A feasibility study of the association of exposure to biomass smoke with vascular function, inflammation, and cellular aging. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Environ Res 2014 Sep 25.:165-172.
Biomass smoke at higher concentrations is associated with respiratory symptoms and, after years of exposure, increased risk of respiratory disorders in adults, but its effects on cardiovascular diseases are not well characterized, particularly compared with other pollution sources like tobacco smoke or traffic.We conducted a cross-sectional study and enrolled 25 women living in rural Sichuan, China. We measured integrated 24-h personal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and black carbon, and measured PM2.5 and black carbon in their kitchens. We assessed participants' brachial and central blood pressure and arterial stiffness using pulse wave analysis, and analyzed dried blood spot and buccal cell samples for C-reactive protein and relative telomere length. We also evaluated the difference in these physiological and biomarker measures between individuals with high (≥median) versus low (<median) PM2.5 exposure using multivariate regression.Geometric mean 24-h PM2.5 and black carbon exposures were 61µg/m(3) (95% CI: 48, 78) and 3.2µg/m(3) (95% CI: 2.3, 4.5), respectively. Average kitchen PM2.5 and black carbon concentrations were only moderately correlated with personal exposures (PM2.5: r=0.41; black carbon: r=0.63), although they had similar means. Women in the high and low exposure groups were similar in age, obesity, socioeconomic status, salt intake, and physical activity. Women in the high PM2.5 exposure group had higher mean brachial systolic blood pressure (SBP; difference=4.6mmHg, 95% CI -7.8, 16.9), central SBP (difference=3.1mmHg, 95% CI: -8.4, 14.5), central pulse pressure (difference=4.1mmHg; 95% CI: -4.2, 12.4), and augmentation index (difference=2.8%, 95% CI: -1.6, 7.2). High exposed women had 43% shorter telomere length (95% CI: -113, 28) than that of women in the low exposure group. There were no differences in pulse wave velocity or C-reactive protein between the two exposure groups. None of the results was statistically significant.Our results suggest that it is feasible to measure markers of vascular function and biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress in field studies of biomass smoke. Although many of the associations were in the expected direction, larger studies would be needed to establish the effects.
- Optimizing the aquatic toxicity assessment under REACH through an integrated testing strategy (ITS). [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Environ Res 2014 Sep 25.:156-164.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
To satisfy REACH requirements a high number of data on chemical of interest should be supplied to the European Chemicals Agency. To organize the various kinds of information and help the registrants to choose the best strategy to obtain the needed information limiting at the minimum the use of animal testing, integrated testing strategies (ITSs) schemes can be used. The present work deals with regulatory data requirements for assessing the hazards of chemicals to the aquatic pelagic environment. We present an ITS scheme for organizing and using the complex existing data available for aquatic toxicity assessment. An ITS to optimize the choice of the correct prediction strategy for aquatic pelagic toxicity is described. All existing information (like physico-chemical information), and all the alternative methods (like in silico, in vitro or the acute-to-chronic ratio) are considered. Moreover the weight of evidence approach to combine the available data is included.

It seems kind of sad, but I think season 3 indirectly nerfed irelia to hell. Wits End + Triforce, 2 items that are arguably core to Irelia's item build are together quite expensive now. A lot of top champions with this new patch have a lot of options in terms of itemization, i.e Black Cleaver, Zephyr, Hydra, etc in which it wouldn't really be reasonable for a champion such as Irelia to build. I tried zephyr on irelia and honestly it isn't worth building.
Champions like Riven, Wukong, Darius, Renekton, Talon, pretty much any AD bruiser/caster type are made extremely powerful with Black Cleaver and it seems like they have the advantage over somebody whom Black Cleaver wouldn't be feasible with, i.e a Jax, Irelia, Olaf, etc. Of course we have the other tops like Teemo, Kayle, etc who have range and can safely harass for the most part.
Irelia is my favourite champ too, maybe I am not building her right, setting up the right masteries or maybe I just suck, but I honestly get shtted on by any champ who builds black cleaver.
Thoughts anybody?
Senior Member
I want to know what more people think about this.
She deserved honestly. Wickd even said that she had no counters. She could beat release Jayce. She could beat Rengar. She could even beat Malphite. We all saw on tournaments Wickd on irelia ignoring enemy's Malphite in lane at the Season 2 World Championship.
But she is still strong, I would fear an enemy Irelia. She scales so well with attack speed. She will be less snowballing now.
But I feel sad that champions like Warwick, got hurted by it.
im not sad
EDIT: FOR ALL THE NABS DOWNVOTING ME, I;M NOT SAD BECUASE SHE IS IS OP AS **** AND A LOWSKILL CAP CHAMPION IM GLAD SHE IS A PoS THIS SEASON. **** YOU IRELIA **** YOU
Morello did it, he thought of a way to mass nerf irelia without anyone noticing... until it was too late D:
i think shes fine. if anything zephyr is an amazing buff for her.
EDIT: Well after more games, I agree with OP. You're not as big as an impact as someone with a Cleaver.
You could always throw her into the jungle she does fairly well in it. She's also not afraid to gank with lower HP % than the enemy laners...
Also there are other alternative items on her that are decent if not better now.
the price change for those 2 items wasn't that big

If you live in Marshfield, some big changes are in the works for the place you go to read. Through a project called Building Connections, the city is making plans to build an entirely new library with state of the art features.
The old library will be turned into a community center, and the community center that stands now will be torn down after construction is completed.
The new library is expected to have a more attractive look, along with computer stations on every floor, and a special section of the library designed specifically for kids.
"I think we have this opportunity here not just to build a state of the art library," said campaign co-chair, Bill Hocking, "But to connect it to a community center that will provide all kinds of new opportunities for people of all ages."
The project is expected to cost close to $7 million. The City of Marshfield has already donated $3 million. And after a year of fundraising, members of the Building Connections campaign raised $2 million on their own.
Bill said most of the money raised came from businesses and people in the community. Unfortunately, they're still shy $2 million.
That's where you come in. If you'd like to donate to the Building Connections campaign contact the Marshfield Library at 715-387-8494, or online at www.marshfieldlibrary.org

8 Steps to Stop Dying Every Day and Start Waking Up with Temple Hayes
According to Unity Spiritual Leader, Temple Hayes, many people do not realize there are many layers of being asleep and dying while we are living. We are so caught up in the motions of living, eating, and working that we don't realize we stop pursuing our potential along the way.
We have become robotic! How do you know whether you've been dying a bit every day? One key way is to notice if you are feeling disconnected or drained rather than energized or impassioned about your life, the inner cause of feeling disconnected and drained.
Join Temple Hayes and me on Tuesday, November 18, 10-11 A.M. CT US, as we discuss her latest book When Did You Die? 8 Steps to Stop Dying Every Day and Start Waking Up, and be on our way to achieving success.
Ek Ong Kaar Kaur discusses the connection between Sikh Dharma and Kundalini Yoga
in Music
The connection between Kundalini Yoga and Sikh Dharma
According to the teachings of Yogi Bhajan, also known as the Siri Singh Sahib of Sikh Dharma, the connection between yoga and the Shabad Guru goes all the way back to the life of Guru Nanak. Guru Nanak liberated knowledge for the common people, and yoga was no exception. Yet at the same time, he introduced a profound technology of sound to help a person awaken. We call this the Shabad Guru. In this session, Ek Ong Kaar Kaur and Dev Suroop discuss the inextricable connection between these two paths. Ek Ong Kaar brings forward both an historical context and also a vision for the future when we apply the techonology of Shabad Guru.

Haggai Begins Temple Building (Haggai 1:1-15)
in Christianity
In the second year of Darius the king, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the Lord came by the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying, "Thus says the Lord of hosts, 'This people says, "The time has not come, even the time for the house of the Lord to be rebuilt."'" Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying, "Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while this house lies desolate?" Now therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts, "Consider your ways! You have sown much, but harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but no one is warm enough; and he who earns, earns wages to put into a purse with holes."
Thus says the Lord of hosts, "Consider your ways! Go up to the mountains, bring wood and rebuild the temple, that I may be pleased with it and be glorified," says the Lord. "You look for much, but behold, it comes to little; when you bring it home, I blow it away. Why?" declares the Lord of hosts, "Because of My house which lies desolate, while each of you runs to his own house. Therefore, because of you the sky has withheld its dew and the earth has withheld its produce. I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground produces, on men, on cattle, and on all the labor of your hands."
Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the Lord their God and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him. And the people showed reverence for the Lord. Then Haggai, the messenger of the Lord, spoke by the commission of the Lord...
Founding Fathers Appeared in St. George Temple Requesting Baptism
in Religion
The Founding Fathers Appeared in the St. George Temple Requesting Baptism of Wilford Woodruff:
The temple work for the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence and other Founding Fathers has been done. All these appeared to Wilford Woodruff when he was president of the St. George Temple. President George Washington was ordained a high priest at that time. You will also be interested to know that, according to Wilford Woodruff's journal, John Wesley, Benjamin Franklin, and Christopher Columbus were also ordained high priests at that time. When one casts doubt about the character of these noble sons of God, I believe he or she will have to answer to the God of heaven for it. Yes, with Lincoln I say: "To add brightness to the sun or glory to the name of Washington is . . . impossible. Let none attempt it. In solemn awe pronounce the name and in its deathless splendor, leave it shining on." (Ezra Taft Benson, The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson , p.604)
I will here say, before closing, that two weeks before I left St. George, the spirits of the dead gathered around me, wanting to know why we did not redeem them. Said they, "You have had the use of the Endowment House for a number of years, and yet nothing has ever been done for us. We laid the foundation of the government you now enjoy, and we never apostatized from it, but we remained true to it and were faithful to God." These were the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and they waited on me for two days and two nights. I straightway went into the baptismal font and called upon brother McCallister to baptize me for the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and fifty other eminent men, making one hundred in all, including John Wesley, Columbus, and others; I then baptized him for every President of the United States, except three; and when their cause is just, somebody will do the work for them. Wilford Woodruff; JD19, p.230)

Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1 review
Summary: The chunky Toughpad FZ-G1 has a high-resolution outdoor-visible screen, is moderately rugged, and delivers decent performance and middling battery life with the standard battery. The biggest drawback, however, is the price.

- Expensive
- Bulky and heavy
- Moderate battery life
- Noisy when fan kicks in
Panasonic's Toughbook laptops and Toughpad tablets are well established in the ruggedised portable computer market, and we've reviewed a good few of them over the years. The Toughpad FZ-G1 is the first Windows 8 Pro tablet in the range, and like all ruggedised devices it carries a price premium. Even so, starting at £1,500 (ex. VAT; £1,800 inc. VAT) for the entry-level configuration, we think the premium is pretty steep in this case.
Panasonic describes the 10.1in. Toughbook FZ-G1 as "the world's thinnest and lightest fully-rugged Windows 8 tablet", which we're not going to argue with. However, you'd be mistaken if you supposed that the FZ-G1 is in any way thin and light compared to a regular Windows 8 tablet, or is able to withstand extreme levels of mistreatment.
Measuring 26.92cm wide by 18.8cm deep by 2.03cm thick (10.8in. x 7.4in. x 0.8in.), it's a chunky device even compared to Microsoft's Surface Pro — which is hardly svelte at 27.46cm by 17.3 cm by 1.35cm (10.8in. x 6.8in. x 0.53in.). The Toughpad also outweighs the Surface Pro, to the tune of 1.13kg (2.5lb) versus 903g (1.99lb).
Aimed at field workers, mobile professionals and the 'hard hat' community, the Toughpad FZ-G1 is designed for use outdoors and in challenging environments. To this end, it has a sturdy magnesium alloy chassis with reinforced corner guards and covers for the ports and slots. This and other ruggedised build components give the FZ-G1 military-grade (MIL-STD 810G) capability to survive 120cm (4-foot) drops and an IP65 rating for resistance to dust and water. The tablet is well protected against dust, scoring 6 out of 6, but will only handle 'water jets' — a score of 5 out of 8. To get the full 8/8 water-resistance rating, the FZ-G1 would have to survive 'immersion beyond 1m' (see the useful infographic on IP ratings here).
Overall, then, the Toughpad FZ-G1 will handle accidental drops from around waist height, and moderately bad weather. However you shouldn't expect it to survive, for example, being run over by a truck and/or a full-immersion soaking.
The Toughpad FZ-G1's 10.1in. screen is an LED-backlit IPS-alpha panel with a native resolution of 1,920 by 1,200 pixels (224ppi). It's a 10-point capacitive multi-touch screen with stylus support — the pen lives in an accessible housing on the left-hand side, on the rear. A number of features make the screen suitable for outdoor use in demanding circumstances, including strengthened glass, high brightness (800 cd/m2) plus anti-reflective and anti-glare treatments. The result of these coatings, and perhaps also the toughened glass, is that the display isn't as vibrant as you might expect given its resolution and brightness rating. The stylus, which has a single button (configured by default for a right click) worked fine once we'd recalibrated it using the supplied utility.
The Toughpad FZ-G1's basic specification is similar to the Surface Pro's: a Core i5-3437U processor with integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000; 4GB of DDR3 RAM (with an 8GB option) and 128GB of Toshiba solid-state storage (with a 256GB option). The operating system is Windows 8 Pro.
Wireless connectivity on our review sample included dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n) and Bluetooth (4.0), with 3G mobile broadband (Gobi 3000, up tp 14.4Mbps) available as an option (mobile broadband is not available on the Surface Pro). Another option, which was fitted on our review sample, is a wired Ethernet (RJ-45) port, which occupies a configurable covered slot on the top of the device, next to the fan vent. This slot can alternatively accommodate a USB 2.0 port, a 9-pin serial port (for accessing legacy peripherals) or a MicroSD card reader.
The right-hand side of the tablet has a USB 3.0 port, an HDMI port and an audio jack — all under a sturdy protective cover. The proprietary 24-pin docking connector is on the bottom, while the power input jack is on the left, under another flip-out cover. Our review sample had a 1.3-megapixel 720p front-facing camera and a housing for the optional 3-megapixel rear camera with autofocus and LED flash.
The back of the Toughpad FZ-G1 houses the removeable battery: our review unit had the standard 6-cell 45Wh unit, which delivers a claimed 8 hours' life (see benchmarks below). An optional high-capacity 9-cell battery, which protrudes a little from the rear surface, doubles the estimated battery life to 16 hours. Elsewhere on the back there's the aforementioned housing for the optional 3-megapixel camera, the fan intake and screw-down covers for the SSD compartment and the SIM card slot.
There are seven buttons at the foot of the screen, in the bezel: two user-programmable buttons for firing up your favourite apps; volume up and down; the familiar Windows button; a screen autorotate on/off toggle button and the power button.
A number of accessories are available for the Toughpad FZ-G1, including the long-life battery pack, a rotating hand strap and a desktop cradle.
Performance & battery life
The Core i5-based Toughpad FZ-G1 is a decent performer, with a Windows Experience Index (WEI) of 4.9 out of 9.9. The overall score is determined by the lowest-ranking subsystem, which in this case is the Intel HD Graphics 4000-driven Graphics (Desktop graphics performance). The remaining scores range between 5.9 and 8.1, with the best-performer being the (solid-state) storage subsystem:
By way of comparison, Microsoft's Surface Pro delivered a WEI of 5.6 (again for the Graphics subsystem), with remaining scores ranging between 5.9 and 8.1.
Looking at a series of browser benchmarks, it's clear that the Toughpad is comparable to the Surface Pro here too:
The Toughpad FZ-G1 also broadly matches the Surface Pro when it comes to battery life — no surprise given that both have similar specs and battery capacities (45Wh for the Toughpad, 42Wh for the Surface Pro). To estimate longevity with the Toughpad's standard 6-cell battery, we measured the tablet's power consumption with a Voltcraft VC 940 Plus multimeter, under idle and load conditions, using the Power Save (PS) and High Performance (HP) power settings. Dividing the resulting figures into the battery capacity gives a spread of battery life estimates under different conditions (Wh/W=h):
Judging from our tests, you can expect the Toughpad FX-G1 to last between 1.3 and 7.2 hours, these being the estimates for running a load (in this case, Microsoft's Fishbowl HTML5 test) in High Performance mode and idling in Power Save mode. With judicious tweaking of power management settings and a real-world mix of load and idle time, you should get around four hours of work out of the standard battery. This means you'll need to carry a spare standard battery or use the high-capacity 9-cell battery to get a full day's work done on battery power.
Once the Toughpad has been running for a while, the fan kicks in. You probably won't notice this if you're working outdoors or in a noisy indoor environment. However, it's definitely noticeable in a quiet room.
The Toughpad FZ-G1 has a high-resolution outdoor-visible screen, is moderately rugged, and delivers decent performance and middling battery life with the standard battery. It'll certainly do the job for a wide range of mobile and field workers, although it's definitely on the bulky and heavy side.
The biggest drawback, however, is the price. At £1,500 (ex. VAT) for the entry-level configuration reviewed here, this is one expensive tablet. If you're likely to want any of the options and accessories, be prepared for further 'sticker shock'. Large companies with a track record of buying Panasonic Toughbooks may go for it anyway, especially if they can get volume discounts. However, it's likely to prove too pricey for small businesses and individuals.

UVa fans didn't have to travel far to celebrate the win.
Those who stayed in Charlottesville were also celebrating Friday.
Fans started arriving at local bars to watch the bowl game around 11 a.m., and by 3:30 p.m. they had cheered the Cavalier football team to victory, calling the game an impressive win against Minnesota.
"I was pretty surprised that Virginia came back," said UVa Fan Kenneth Coleman. "But they played strong, they got in the game, came back and won and [I'm] impressed, very impressed."
"It's exciting to know that they actually went to the bowl game and won," said UVa fan Genna Flint. "It was great, a good win."
Fans are hopeful the Cavaliers' victory over Minnesota will help the team's recruiting efforts in the future.
