Environmental Health
Beach Water Testing
The Coastal Health District and the Coastal Resources Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources work together to test coastal beach waters for the presence of potentially harmful bacteria that could cause illness. More populated beaches are tested year-round on a weekly basis. If bacteria levels are elevated, an advisory sign will be placed on the beach.
Frequently Asked Questions about Beach Water Advisories
Why is the water tested and what is it tested for?
The water is tested as part of the Environmental Protection Agency's beach monitoring program which includes all Georgia beaches. Water samples are taken all along the island and tested for enterococcus (pronounced: en•ter•o•coc•cus) bacteria which is found in warm blooded animals including humans but also birds, raccoons, deer, dolphins and other wildlife.
Do you know where the bacteria come from?
It is difficult to determine exactly where the bacteria come from but some sources could include animal waste, storm water runoff, or boating waste.
What does it mean when a beach is under advisory?
It means that the level of bacteria found in the water is above the Environmental Protection Agency's recommended standards. When the level of bacteria is higher than it should be there is increased risk of illness to swimmers so the public is advised not to swim or wade in the water in that particular area.
Will I get sick if I go into water that is under advisory?
There is no way to say for sure whether or not you will get sick if you go into water that is under advisory but you will be at an increased risk of illness. Risk of illness comes from contacting beach water in several ways including ingesting water while swimming, getting water in the nose, eyes, and ears or getting water in an open wound. Some examples of possible illness include possible stomach upset, ear infection, sore throat, or wound infection.
What do I do if I have been swimming in water that was under advisory but I didn't realize it?
There is no way to say for sure whether or not you will get sick if you were swimming or wading in water that was under advisory. The best thing to do is to be aware of any changes in your health. If you start to experience stomach upset, ear infection, sore throat, or wound infection, after you have been in contact with water that was under advisory, contact a healthcare provider.
Is the beach closed?
No, the beach is not closed. An advisory simply means that increased levels of bacteria were found in the water, not on the beach, which is why public health suggests no swimming or wading in the water (risk of illness comes from contact with the water).
Does the advisory cover the entire island?
No. An advisory only covers a certain area. Even if part of the beach is under advisory there are plenty of other beach access points to areas that aren't under advisory.
How do you know the bacteria are only in one certain area of the water?
Beaches have been divided up into zones. Water samples are taken from the center of each zone and if bacteria levels are found to be higher in a certain zone then an advisory is issued for that area. Because it's not possible to determine exactly where the bacteria levels switch from "okay" to "elevated," the advisory is issued for a fairly large area. If water samples from more than one zone indicate higher levels of bacteria then multiple advisories will be issued but again, only for the areas where bacteria is higher.
How long do areas stay under advisory?
When an advisory is issued, another sample of the water in the area under advisory is taken within a few days and retested. An area will stay under advisory until the test shows that bacteria in the water have decreased to an acceptable level as determined by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Can I eat fish I've caught from a beach that's under advisory?
Yes, fish and other seafood caught in area(s) should be thoroughly washed with fresh water and thoroughly cooked before eating as should fish or seafood caught from any waters.

text: RALPH AIDS RIVERKEEPER: Anyone at a loss for what to give their loved ones this holiday season should have stopped by the Ralph Lauren store in New York's SoHo earlier this week, where Amanda Hearst was doling out advice to clueless shoppers. Her favorite items? Men's flannel shirts and long-sleeved polo shirts. "My brother Randy lives in flannel," she said. Fifteen percent of the evening's sales benefited the environmental charity Riverkeeper, founded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Hearst is on the organization's executive committee and cochairs the junior council with Luigi Tadini. She said she tries to maintain an eco-friendly lifestyle. In addition to using energy-saving lightbulbs and unplugging her phone chargers. "I send my dry cleaning out in garment bags so they don't have to use the plastic ones, and I visit eco-resorts and eco-lodges when I travel," she said. But this Christmas she'll be staying somewhere not exactly known for its austerity — the ornate Hearst Castle in San Simeon, Calif.

The Menominee Nation is launching a new TV ad campaign urging Gov. Scott Walker to support the Kenosha casino.
A 30-second spot featuring Kenosha-area residents commenting on the project is to begin airing on Milwaukee market stations Friday night, a project spokeswoman confirmed.
The spot was filmed in Kenosha and features unscripted interviews, according to a news release from the tribe.
"As one of Wisconsin's poorest tribes, we don't have a lot of money to hire actors and produce a slick ad campaign, but we want people to know about the thousands of permanent jobs and multimillion-dollar economic benefits the Kenosha casino would mean for Wisconsin," Menominee Chairman Craig Corn said in a news release.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has reached a tentative agreement that is expected to end a two-year contract impasse with the union representing about 34,000 mass transit workers.
Under the five-year deal announced last week by Gov. Cuomo, members of Transport Workers Union Local 100 would receive raises of 1, 1, 2, 2 and 2 percent per year, retroactive to Jan. 16, 2012, when the TWU's last contract expired.
The TWU represents almost all the workers who operate, maintain and repair the city's subways and mass transit buses; subway booth clerks, and maintenance workers for tracks, elevators and escalators.
The TWU said the contract will mean a cumulative 8.25 percent increase, or a raise of about $6,000 for the average worker over the life of the contract.
Union spokesman Jim Gannon told the Chronicle that ballots will be sent out to workers either this coming week or the week after, and that the collection and counting process should be complete in about one month.
It also must be approved by the full board of the MTA.
A statement from Local 100's executive board on the union's website —
twulocal100.org, — "strongly recommends" approval by the rank and file.
In a joint statement issued by Cuomo's office, the governor, MTA Chairman Thomas Prendergast and TWU President John Samuelsen praised the agreement.
Cuomo called the deal fair to transit workers and fiscally responsible for the MTA, as it will not result in a fare increase.
"The transit system is the lifeblood of New York City, and the MTA employees are the ones who make the system work," Cuomo said.
He cited as one example the workers' performance during and in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in 2012, when "they got the system up and running in record time."
Samuelsen said the contract offers "historic "gains in paid maternity and paternity leave, as well as important improvements in benefits such as healthcare, dental coverage and eye care coverage.
"The MTA is a vital part of this city, and I am pleased to present a contract to the membership that recognizes their hard work, dedication and service," he said.
Over more than a year the MTA had said its budget projections in outgoing years were based on zero percent wage increases for the more than 60 unions that represent its employees. Samuelsen, who all along had called zero increases unacceptable, only last week had petitioned Cuomo to get involved to break the stalemate.
Prendergast praised the governor's input.
"Once again over the course of Gov. Cuomo's three years in office, he has provided timely support to the MTA, this time helping to finalize a fair and responsible contract, just as he has given us consistent increases in [our] operating budget," Prendergast said. "The MTA's finances are always our foremost concern, and this contract is a responsible one that acknowledges and reflects the MTA's budget and projected budgets."

Even as he zeroed in on Shawn Darling as the rat, he apparently didn't realize his email had been compromised. He fired off mysterious cloak-and-dagger messages to Alessandri and contacts at a Miami security company called Verasys — later renamed Anders International — where former Miami Beach top cop Don DeLucca had become executive vice president since retiring from the department.
One message contains only Darling's social security number and birth date. In another, O'Neal and Alessandri discuss buying cell phones to be used only by them, DeLucca, and a mysterious fourth party named "Sherman" so that, Alessandri wrote, "we can email you and call you with no issues."
Then there's the email reading only, "Go," which O'Neal sent to Verasys. And on December 15, there was the odd missive that Mattlin sent to O'Neal detailing how to remotely detect child porn using a police computer program called GnuWatch. What's unclear is how O'Neal would have placed the smut on Darling's computer in the first place.
A recent investigation into the email concluded it was an "appropriate information exchange between two police detectives," Tempe Police Sgt. Joey Brudnock says.
Mattlin believed O'Neal was requesting information as a law enforcement agent. At the time, though, the new Clevelander O'Neal was not an active cop in any state.
Miami Beach Police spokesman Juan Sanchez says his department has no internal investigation concerning the emails sent to and from Detective Alessandri. Don DeLucca, who was recently named chief of the Golden Beach Police force, did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
Shawn Darling says he pieced together the mysterious emails between O'Neal and cronies soon after his computer was besieged. To him, the evidence of a conspiracy to frame him is as clear as day.
But O'Neal's attorneys maintain that their client is the true victim of a plot. To prove it, prosecutors were ready to wire a purported mistress for sound.
Two days before Valentine's Day 2010 and a month after filing her lawsuit against O'Neal, Vanessa Lopez — svelte, bleach-blond, and primly dressed — met with two assistant state attorneys inside a drab government building in downtown Miami.
She told prosecutors, according to a Florida Department of Law Enforcement report about the meeting, that Shawn Darling, who had not yet filed suit against O'Neal, was dispensing the superstar's emails as if from his own personal gold mine.
He had tried to sell her — for the low, low price of $100,000 — information to help her case against O'Neal. And for a third of any settlement she might garner from O'Neal, Darling had said he'd fork over the entire stash of emails.
The prosecutors were investigating Darling and Lopez at the behest of O'Neal's attorneys. In December 2009, both enemies of Shaq had been briefly represented by the same lawyer — Orlando's Lafe Purcell. He had sent O'Neal's attorneys a letter offering them a chance to settle with the two potential plaintiffs before they filed their lawsuits.
Darling's "bottom number" for a settlement, according to the December 2009 missive: $12 million. Lopez's "fair starting point": $4.2 million.
In an apparent intimidation technique, Purcell had also forwarded an email showcasing his client's unhinged state. "I am ready to proceed with filing the complaint against Shaq," Darling had frothed in the email. "I want him to understand that I am NOT FUCKING playing around... I have enough proof that I don't need to play around."
Both Darling and Lopez ditched Purcell — who didn't respond to New Times' request for comment — soon after the letter was sent, and Darling claims the attorney demanded the settlements on his own.
But O'Neal's lawyers had filed a criminal complaint claiming an "on-going criminal conspiracy to extort in excess of 16 million dollars," resulting in Lopez being summoned to the interrogation in downtown Miami.
She agreed to a "controlled meeting" with Darling to draw out evidence of an extortion conspiracy while investigators' tape rolled.
The sting never went down. The investigators doubted Lopez's credibility. Specifically, she never told them about her affair with NBA player Delonte West.
In May 2010, according to a Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office spokesman Ed Griffith, his office decided Shaq's dilemma was a "civil matter."
Two months later, Darling filed suit against O'Neal. A judge ordered that Darling could not enter the emails into the public record. But this past August, he filed about three dozen of them with an amended complaint anyway — claiming them as evidence of the plot to frame him — sending O'Neal's attorneys racing to seal them again.
Before a recent court hearing, in which a judge would decide whether Shaq's former computer guy could enter his entire stash of thousands of emails into the public record, Darling vowed he would unleash his inner Al Sharpton if the ruling didn't go his way.
He said he would pose on the courtroom steps in front of a swath of news cameras. "I'm going to make a statement," he promised. "I'm going to blow the lid off this whole thing."
Fast-forward to August 26, and Darling is wearing a slightly baggy gray suit as he sits at a desk in court. Making his case is attorney Menachem Mayberg, who might be Darling's litigious soul mate. A young and zealous lawyer, he makes several salacious, if not terribly relevant, implications in court — including a $3 million settlement between O'Neal and Alexis Miller — over the beleaguered objections of the basketball star's stodgy, white-haired barrister, Benjamine Reid.

Inside The National Cougar Convention
By Chris Yeh
"I'm here to get laid," said their leader, a forceful, sarcastic Asian guy. "And you can quote me on it." When I asked how he'd found out about the convention, he replied, "My mom told me about it." As with nearly everything else they said, I couldn't tell if they were full of it, or if there was a kernel of truth.
There were plenty of shy types in attendance, too. Unlike their more boisterous brethren, I didn't see them aggressively approaching the women around them. My few attempts to engage them in conversation tended to trail off quickly.
"Glad to see you made it in," I said to Steve, a squat fellow with a buzz cut I had seen earlier, moping about in the "no tickets" line. He nodded in return and wandered off, presumably to look innocent and prey-like. I think the quiet guys signed up for the convention hoping to meet aggressive, take-charge women. For their sake, I hope they found what they were looking for. Life isn't easy for shy types stuck in "Man Jose." 5 Shy-Guy Pick-Up Moves
Finally, as reported by my Twitter spy, the douchebags were out in full force. They set themselves apart with their tight shirts, slicked hair, and orange tans. They reminded me of Will Ferrell's character in Wedding Crashers; it was too easy to imagine them hanging out at funerals trying to pick up grieving widows.
In contrast, most of the cougars I met seemed to belie the leopard-print and botox stereotype.
"When I got an email about the event, I said, 'That sounds so tacky and fun, I just have to go!'" said Cindy, a tall, confident brunette sipping a glass of chardonnay. She and her friend Cynthia said that mature women have little choice other than to target younger men. Can Marrying Someone Younger Make You Live Longer?
"All men my age want to do is sit around watching television," Cynthia said. "I'd rather be out riding my bike. My God, it's noon on a Sunday, it's beautiful out, and all they can think of is watching sports."

Chased by a killer whale dream
I dreamt that Victor was been chased and killed by a killer whale.
THE REALITY Victor is attempting to dominate the group. He tends to spread animosity and bad feelings. I keep trying to calm down the situation and resist his attempts.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following emotions within the dreamer - "Victor is so divisive. He causes trouble and is trying to get me to act like him. But I am a pretty chilled out kind of guy and am trying to calm down the situation."
DREAM ANALYSIS The dreamer was a laid back person and would not let anyone provoke him into an argument. Whales are symbols of the unconscious. They tend to link to peacefulness and reflection. They are symbols of calmness and tranquility. That perfectly reflects the attempts of the dreamer and others to calm down the situation. There had been several arguments and most of them were caused by Victor.

'Chicken Soup for the Soul' Movie Announced; Humanity Trembles in Fear
In Development By Adam Bellotto on August 8, 2013 | Comments (2)Some great Lovecraftian horror has emerged from the blackest depths of the deepest oceans, and slowly it makes its way towards our shores. With a ponderous and slow gait it urges forward, little by little, until all life and civilization is extinguished by fear and despair beyond human comprehension. Its name: Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Movie. It probably won't be a death knell for humankind (although you never know), but Alcon Entertainment has indeed secured the rights for both a Chicken Soup for the Soul movie and TV show. For now, the only concrete plans involve the film. Deadline Hollywood reports that Brandon Camp, writer of Love Happens, will be handling the screenplay duties, while Jordan Kerner of the Kerner Entertainment Company will be producing alongside Alcon. Kerner's previous credits include both The Smurfs and The Smurfs 2, while Alcon was behind the similarly sappy The Blind Side. No director has been announced as of yet.
Shockingly, Love Happens is a cliche-ridden, tepid romantic comedy featuring not-at-all convincing characters.

My name's Zack. I am currently a college student studying Biochemistry. Several people call me smart and mature, however, I think my taste in anime foils that. I like silly, funny, raunchy ecchi/harem animes. Laughing is good, after all. I also enjoy several other genres--Fullmetal Alchemist and Code Geass are definitely two of my favorites. I typically binge on anime during the summer months, when I am not studying for school. I don't usually recommend animes to other people since most of the people I know don't appreciate the raunchy, harem comedies I watch.

This is the opening to the anime I watched recently. It was alright. Pretty silly. I thought you might like the opening :D

Turns Out THIS Isn't Every Guy's Fantasy After All!
By GalTime .com
By Marcus Osborne for GalTime.com
Girl On Girl Action…Big Deal
Over the last 20 years or so, a very interesting mythology has crept into the nation's sexual conscious. A widespread belief that men just piddle like puppies whenever they see a couple of women kissing each other. I can't, with absolute certitude, point to a seminal moment that stamped this fable onto our collective belief system . But clearly it exists. And clearly this new millennium urban legend is locked in like freshness in a Glad sandwich bag.
Related: The "M" Word...Why Every Woman's Gotta Try It
But, as we so often do with conventional wisdom here at Straight Male Friend, we take another look. Now obviously, the girl-on-girl action has been around forever. I mean, isn't it basically part of the college curriculum for women? For purely matters of research, I went back through a few friends' (wink, wink) collection of adult videos. And boy was some of this stuff old.
Scientific fact (allegedly): The age of an adult film is directly related to the abundance of male and female body hair. Seriously, this stuff goes from 1970's full-body afros to 21 st century Mr. Clean….from two-inch shag carpet to shiny linoleum. I kid you not, there's actually a guy with a perm…..on his back.
Related: Top 5 Myths Women (Still) Believe About Men
Like I said, I can't say exactly when, but this may have been one of those mainstream moments where it really started to take off. There's the famous moment where Madonna, Britney Spears, and Christina swapped a little saliva. A couple of years ago, Katy Perry came up huge with a song about kissing a girl. And just recently, Sandra Bullock was making out with Scarlett Johansson at an awards show. The phenomenon has never been more prevalent — and less shocking and even worse, it's never been less sexy!
The reason we thought it was hot before was because it was a big taboo — you just didn't see it or hear about it so much. Now it's damn near a casual greeting.
"Hey, Shawna, this is my friend Latrice. Latrice this is Shawna…… HEY!! WHOA! Can't you guys just high-five or somethin'?!"
It's not that we don't think it's still kind of hot sometimes, but trust me, guys aren't as into it as you've been led to believe. Seriously. Not that there aren't guys who are totally into it, I'm just saying we play it up to be more exciting than it really is…because we're immature like that. But most grown men will tell you in a moment of honesty…"been there done that." Any guy who's lived a little and is over the age of 25 feels that way. Yet the power of the myth persists. No lie, I actually had my manhood questioned by a women when I told her it was no big deal to see a couple of women making out.

Offensive line paves way for Steelers
Offensive line paves way for Steelers
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pitt...e=rss&feed=43# By Scott Brown TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, January 11, 2009 The Steelers' offensive line has been called many things this season, most of them unflattering, but to that list this can be added: proactive. Tired of the criticism heaped upon them on a regular basis, the offensive linemen made a subtle but significant change around the middle of the season. They started taking an hour to an hour-and-a-half each week to watch film together so they could better understand what the players around them were seeing and thinking and better function as one. "When you're sitting in a room, and it's just your group, you have a tendency to ask more questions of each other," Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians said. "You work together, and you talk it out." The improvement in the unit since the group film sessions commenced, added Arians, has been "tremendous." Whether the offensive line has improved enough for the Steelers to make a run at an NFL-record sixth Super Bowl title will become evident starting today, when they host the San Diego Chargers in an AFC divisional playoff game. The Steelers are just three wins away from adding another Lombardi Trophy to their collection, but history says that teams generally don't win world championships in spite of their offensive line. And a group that was a question mark before it lost two key starters enters postseason play as an enigma at best and a weakness at worst. If the sight of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger getting buried under an avalanche of pass rushers or of running back Willie Parker also getting thrown for losses or tackled for minimal gains hasn't helped the perception of the offensive line neither has the Steelers' tradition of controlling the line of scrimmage. "I think it's a sub-Pittsburgh performance compared to what we're used to," said ESPN analyst Mark Schlereth, who made two Pro Bowls and won three Super Bowls as a guard for the Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos from 1989-2000. "They're better than a lot out there, but I think the standard has been so high in past years that when you see them not play with the consistency, I think it's one of the things that sparks that criticism." So, too, do numbers like 46 and 3.7. The former represents the number of times Roethlisberger has been sacked only New England's Matt Cassel was sacked more times during the regular season while the latter is the Steelers' average per rushing attempt, which ranked 29th out of 32 teams in the NFL. Yet, there are other numbers and factors that suggest the line has gotten too much criticism for the Steelers' offensive struggles. Roethlisberger has been sacked 139 times during the regular season since 2006, suggesting he, too, is complicit in the number of times he is dropped because of his propensity for holding onto the ball. In addition, Parker has been hampered by injuries this season the two-time Pro Bowler missed five games during the regular season with knee and shoulder problems. And since taking over as offensive coordinator in 2007, Arians has moved the Steelers away from a traditional running attack by relying more on an extra tight end rather than a fullback in the ground game. "We would like to just send the tanks on them, but that's never our call," starting right tackle Willie Colon said of employing a power running attack. "We're just here to serve and protect." But even when the Steelers have committed to running the ball, starting left tackle Max Starks said, there have been logistical problems stemming from the team's reputation for pounding opponents on the ground. "Every team knows we're going to run it and always throws eight in the box," Starks said. "That's why we change up the blocking schemes to kind of get out of that. But guys are still dropping eight and still playing their regular personnel, even when we have three wide receivers in the game. "We only have five or six bodies at a time, and when you have seven or eight guys down there, it's tough to be successful in those types of situations. We know what we're doing. It's not like we're not blocking the guys we're supposed to be." Starks is the only starter left from the offensive line that helped the Steelers win the Super Bowl three years ago, and he played right tackle on that team. The turnover on the line has come in various forms, including retirement (center Jeff Hartings), free agency (perennial Pro Bowl guard Alan Faneca) and injuries. The Steelers lost starting right guard Kendall Simmons in the fourth week of the season to a ruptured Achilles tendon. Left tackle Marvel Smith, meanwhile, did not play after early October because of a back problem and was finally put on injured reserve at the end of December. The Steelers have roughly $18.5 million in salary cap money tied up in those two players and Starks. As such, they did not get nearly the return they had hoped for from their investment in the offensive line this season. Starks has filled in capably for Smith while protecting Roethlisberger's blind side, and second-year man Darnell Stapleton has stepped in for Simmons. Still, the group that worked with one another during training camp and the early part of the season is no longer together. And a revamped line that includes a first-year starter at center in Justin Hartwig has had to come together in the crucible of live competition, which has led to inevitable breakdowns. If a positive has come out of those mistakes as well as the criticism leveled at the players responsible it is the group film sessions that have bolstered the linemen's cohesion and confidence. "I think we're starting to understand each other a lot more," Colon said. "I think we're starting to talk without talking, if you will. I think we're right where we need to be right now." Skeptics will roll their eyes at such a statement. But the line does have at least one ardent supporter. "They have done a great job," Roethlisberger said of the Steelers' offensive line. "I wish people would understand what kind of defenses they played against and how good they are. They have gotten so much better." Getting in line The Steelers took some criticism for waiting until the fourth round of last April's draft to address their offensive line. Teams have had success building an offensive line without a bunch of top draft picks. Here is a look at three teams with standout offensive lines, as well as the Steelers, and in which rounds of the draft the starters on those lines were taken. New York Giants LT: David Diehl Fifth-round draft choice in 2003 LG: Rich Seubert Undrafted free agent in 2001 C: Shaun O'Hara Undrafted free agent in 2000 RG: Chris Snee Second-round draft choice in 2005 RT: Kareem McKenzie Third-round draft choice in 2001 Carolina Panthers *LT: Jordan Gross First-round draft choice in 2003 LG: Travelle Wharton Fourth-round draft choice in 2004 C: Ryan Khalil Second-round draft choice in 2007 RG: Geoff Hangartner Fifth-round draft choice in 2005 RT: Jeff Otah First-round draft choice in 2008 out of Pitt Tennessee Titans *LT: David Roos Second-round draft choice in 2005 LG: Eugene Amano Seventh-round draft choice in 2004 C: Kevin Mawae Second-round draft choice in 1994 RG: Jake Scott Fifth-round draft choice in 2004 RT: David Stewart Fourth-round draft choice in 2005 *Steelers LT: Max Starks Third-round draft choice in 2004 LG: Chris Kemoeatu Sixth-round draft choice in 2005 C: Justin Hartwig Sixth-round draft choice in 2002 RG: Darnell Stapleton Undrafted free agent in 2007 RT: Willie Colon Fourth-round draft choice in 2006 *-The Steelers lost starting left tackle Marvel Smith, a second-round pick in 2000, and starting right guard Kendall Simmons, a first-round pick in 2002, to injuries during the regular season.

Re: Offensive line paves way for Steelers
The OL has to bring their A++ game today or it is going to be a LONG day for Ben and the O. If they can play as well as a unit as they did in their final game of the regular season against the Browns, it will be smooooooth sailing.

text: This single-family home underwent extensive remodelling in 2002, combining classic and modern elements in a beautiful way. Interesting stylistic elements typical of the era of the construction year, such as the large foyer with a wide staircase made of natural stone, have been preserved and juxtaposed with modern, high-end design to create an attractive ambiance. The interior design of the generously proportioned villa is very uniform throughout; it includes fashionable contemporary bathroom fittings and fixtures in addition to various types of beautiful parquet flooring in the living areas and bedrooms. The over-average height of the ceilings and large window walls underscore its spacious character. The living room boasts of a very special feature: the entire window wall can be lowered so it disappears into the floor. So the inside living area merges seamlessly with the natural setting of the garden. The garden itself is of substantial size and accented by mature trees. The exterior heated swimming pool with a classic design (12.20 m x 6.20 m) is another highlight. On the lower level of the house, a very pleasant 1 ½ room apartment with a beautiful patio can be accessed from outside via a separate entrance. Distances: Frankfurt city centre: 7 minutes by car Frankfurt Airport: 15 minutes by car Overview of features: Heated outside swimming pool Lot with southwestern exposure protected from view from the outside Lovely garden layout Huge patio, partially covered Double garage "Granny flat" Impressive grand entry hall Metal window frames, window pane glass is bullet-proof and shock-resistant High-quality parquet and natural stone floors Open marble fireplace in living room The window wall in the living room can be lowered into the floor electronically High-end built-in kitchen Ceiling heating Sauna and fitness room Slate roof Alarm system The commission amounts to 5.95% incl.

Do what you can with what you have where you are. That's easier said than done. When the chips are down, people tend to write one off. But Varun Chand has crossed every hurdle and emerged a champion.
An autistic teenager, Varun has just won not one but three gold medals in swimming. In the national championship held at Mumbai from November 11 to 15, he emerged the winner among the 175 intellectually challenged participants in the free style and relay swimming competitions.
There is something rarer than ability - it is the ability to recognise ability. Right from the age of four, Varun has a yen for aquatics. But it was his doting mother, Aparna, who spotted this talent and encouraged him. Of course, this skill had to be further honed and perfected, and Victor R. Vaz, National Sports Director, Special Olympics Bharat (SOB) proved just the man for the job.
At SOB, year-long sports training is given to special children in various disciplines to introduce them mainstream and give a deeper meaning to their lives. "We look at the ability of children not their disabilities. We pick up children having IQ score of 70 and below", says Mr Victor who is here to attend a medical camp being held for intellectually challenged children.
"I am a champion". Aparna couldn't forget these words uttered by her son after winning the competition. She is thrilled by the demonstration of courage and sense of achievement he showed.
"There is a definite improvement in him. From a pleasure activity, swimming has become a competitive sport for him", she says. Varun regularly takes part in the swimming events in Hyderabad. In 2005 he won a bronze medal at the Paralympics held at Kolkata. His disability notwithstanding, Varun takes special interest in computers and in the family's notebook making unit.

A Long Look In The Mirror...
by Eric Petersen
posted Mar 22 2013 12:43PM
I never really took the time to ask myself if I were "
living right
", but as of late it has been a looming storm cloud that I can't help but pay closer attention to.
The questions that go with
living right
are the killers: Do you drink too much? Should you lose some weight? Are you taking full advantage of the time you have? Basically: are you
really enjoying your life
? Good question... and I now ask you to be honest, and answer it too.
In a recent newspaper article, the facts seem to say,
we're not:
(Scranton Times-Tribune 3-21-13)
We're overweight. We don't exercise enough. We smoke and drink in excess.
Those factors help to explain why Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wyoming and Susquehanna counties all rank in the bottom of a new report on the healthiest - and the least healthy - counties in Pennsylvania.
Health-care providers interviewed categorized Northeast Pennsylvania as a "hard-living region."
"Yes, we do work hard, but we also drink hard, smoke hard and we don't exercise well, It is something that culturally has been an issue here for years."
I for one, am scared to hear this, and frankly was shocked and awed by the findings. Sure it's funny to talk about how "nuts" we are, about how we drink hard, about how we live like "wildcats" and spend our nights partying like there's no tomorrow… but there is a tomorrow coming, and I'd like to see it. I'd also like to be healthy when the world spins around the next several hundred times… and I also feel like I owe it to the people I share it with, not mention to myself.
We are better than this NEPA, even if the choices of our forefathers may not have been so logical.
So, take a moment to decide where you want to be in the next ten years…
if its jail, rehab or a cemetary, we're moving in the right direction…
but if it's happy, sober and healthy, it may be time to take a long look in the mirror…
the future of
may lie in what you see there.

Taylor Swift on Ex-Boyfriends: They Had Fair Warning! (VIDEO)
Memo to potential Taylor Swift suitors: If you end up dating the 20-year-old country songbird, chances are the experience will be immortalized in one of her songs. And no, she doesn't care if it hurts your feelings.
Swift—whose new album, Speak Now, is already sparking heated "who's that song about?" debates—appeared on Late Show With David Letterman on Tuesday, and once again her highly autobiographical songwriting style was brought up. Swift's take on things? At this point in time, guys should be aware of her M.O., so whatever:
"Speak Now is the third album I've been doing this, so they had fair warning at this point."
Hopefully Swift's current beau, Jake Gyllenhaal, is okay with eventually having the details of his intimate life broadcast from the top of the charts.
Swift went on to reveal that she also speaks a bit of Japanese. Which means, of course, that she can tunefully embarrass her exes in a variety of languages. Hope they're ready for some worldwide shame.
Check out Letterman's interview with Swift below.

Nino Schurter seized the lead on the last lap, but an untimely flat allowed Jose Hermida to charge past and gain a 20 second advantage. Fortunately for Schurter, the wheel change took just 30 seconds. "I made a hard effort to catch him, rested, then passed," Schurter said. "But I could feel him on my wheel and it became a sprint finish. A win like this is always special."

Penn State-Akron home opener set for noon kick
Penn State-Akron home opener set for noon kick Sept. 6
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Penn State's home opener with Akron is set for a noon kick in Beaver Stadium, the Nittany Lions' sixth announced start time for the 2014 season.
ABC will televise coach James Franklin's first game on the Beaver Stadium sidelines to a regional audience, with the game airing on ESPN or ESPN2 throughout the remainder of the nation. The game also will air on the Penn State Sports Network and GoPSUsports.com.
The Nittany Lions have posted an on-field mark of 4-0 against Akron, with the last meeting resulting in a 31-7 Penn State win in 2009. The Zips are coached by Terry Bowden.
Penn State will celebrate Red, White and Blue Community Hero Day at the home opener. First responders will be celebrated and recognized throughout the game. First responders can purchase tickets for the Akron game at a reduced rate by calling 800-NITTANY from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays.
At halftime of the Akron game, Penn State's 1994 undefeated Big Ten and Rose Bowl championship team will be honored during its 20th reunion. The Nittany Lions featured five first-team All-Americans: Kyle Brady, Ki-Jana Carter, Kerry Collins, Bobby Engram and Jeff Hartings; and became the first Big Ten team to earn a 12-0 record by beating Oregon in the Rose Bowl. The Nittany Lions broke the Big Ten record by averaging 48.1 points in conference play, a mark that still stands.
The home opener also is Scout Day, with all Boy Scout and Girl Scout organizations able to purchase tickets at a reduced rate by calling 800-NITTANY.
The contest with Akron is among the four games included in the new Penn State partial season ticket plan, which also includes the Big Ten clashes against Ohio State, Maryland and Michigan State. The partial season ticket plan, which represents a nearly five percent savings from the single game prices, are available only by calling 800-NITTANY. More than 200 partial season ticket plans were sold July 15, the first day for public single game and partial season ticket plan sales.
The Akron game is Penn State's sixth announced kick time for the 2014 season. Franklin's Nittany Lions will open the season Aug. 30 vs. UCF in the Croke Park Classic. The game will kick at 1:30 p.m. in Dublin, Ireland (8:30 a.m.) and air on ESPN2, the Penn State Sports Network and GoPSUsports.com. Penn State will be playing its first international game in its 128-year history when it travels to Ireland to meet the Knights.
Penn State opens Big Ten play at Rutgers on Sept. 13. The contest between the old rivals, and new Big Ten East Division foes, will kick at 8 p.m. and air on BTN, the Penn State Sports Network and GoPSUsports.com. Penn State will host Northwestern in its 95th Homecoming game at noon Sept. 27. The Nittany Lions will visit Michigan on Oct. 11 for a 7 p.m. clash that will air on ESPN or ESPN2. The Big Ten East Division contest will be Michigan's first Big Ten home night game. Penn State will host Ohio State on Oct. 25, with the East Division clash set for an 8 p.m. kick on ABC, ESPN or ESPN.
Rutgers and Maryland joined the Big Ten on July 1 and Penn State will play both annually as East Division foes. The Nittany Lions host the Terrapins on Nov. 1. The three schools are joined by Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State in the East Division.
The remaining two Penn State kick times and TV information will occur within the Big Ten's six or 12-day selection process.
Every Penn State football game has been televised the past 10 seasons and 240 of the last 242 contests overall have been on TV. All Penn State football, and men's and women's basketball games air on the Penn State Sports Network and www.GoPSUsports.com.
Franklin was named Penn State's 16th head football coach on Jan. 11. A product of Langhorne, Pa., Franklin led Vanderbilt University to unprecedented success the past three years as head coach, including consecutive nine-win seasons and bowl victories the past two years, as well as back-to-back Top 25 finishes, all for the first time in Vanderbilt history. In his 20th year of coaching, Franklin was a two-time All- Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference quarterback at East Stroudsburg University and set or tied 23 school records.
Nearly 4,900 new Penn State football season tickets have been sold for the 2014 campaign. There again was no increase in season tickets prices for Penn State football for the upcoming season.
Alumni and fans are able to purchase Penn State football season tickets and make their Nittany Lion Club donation online at GoPSUsports.com/seasontickets, while choosing their own seats by utilizing Virtual Venue. New season tickets also are available by calling 800-NITTANY from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays.
Alumni and fans also are able to choose their own football single game seats online by utilizing the Ticketmaster Interactive Seat Map. Single game tickets are available at www.PSUnrivaled.com, by calling 800-NITTANY or visiting the Bryce Jordan Center Box Office.
Public single game tickets are not available for the Oct. 25 primetime clash with Ohio State, which is a Penn State White Out game. Single game tickets for the 8 p.m. contest vs. the Buckeyes are available exclusively to Nittany Lion Club members via the NLC member sale or with the purchase of new season or partial season ticket plans.
The Recent Graduate ticket program gives Penn State graduates who earned an undergraduate degree from 2010-14 at any campus the opportunity to purchase up to two season tickets for $300 per ticket for the seven-game home schedule this fall. The cost includes a $50 donation to the Nittany Lion Club and is a savings of 35 percent from the regular $460 season ticket price ($360 + $100 NLC donation). More than 700 Recent Graduate program season tickets have been sold. Interested recent graduates can call 800-NITTANY from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays.
Penn State returns 40 letterwinners and 15 starters (seven offense, seven defense, one specialist) for the upcoming season and will play a trio of 2013 Top 10 teams this fall. The Nittany Lions will host Rose Bowl Champion Michigan State (Nov. 29), Ohio State (8 p.m. Oct. 25), Northwestern (noon Sept. 27-Homecoming) and Maryland (Nov. 1) during its 2014 Big Ten home schedule. Penn State will host Akron (noon Sept. 6), UMass (Sept. 20) and Temple (Nov. 15) during its non-conference slate.
The Nittany Lions open the season Aug. 30 vs. UCF in the Croke Park Classic in Dublin, Ireland.

it is not necessary. ESTs have been useful already for human and mouse studies, as in the serum study mentioned above (Iyer et al. 1999). If expression of a particular sequence, known only by its EST, is found to change greatly in the test condition, it might then qualify as interesting enough to deserve full-length cloning, sequencing, and further analysis of function.
Vast amounts of data accumulate in such comparisons (e.g., when 6,200 yeast genes (the entire yeast genome) or 8,900 human sequences are expressed differently under several conditions at several time points). The multidimensional data sets have challenged applied mathematicians to find means to express them in ways useful to biologists (e.g., see the methods of two-dimensional clustering analysis in Eisen et al. 1998; Alon et al. 1999; Tamayo et al. 1999). Yet, larger data sets loom on the horizon (e.g., the expression of perhaps 100,000 mouse or human genes at all times and places in development, not to mention with different toxicant exposures). As described below, the demand is great for managers and analysts of these data sets.
Although the various microarray techniques promise to reveal exciting new information about where, when, and under what conditions the genes of the genome are transcribed, this approach will not provide information concerning the translation and post-translational modification of proteins encoded by these mRNAs—that is, information about when and where the proteins are present and active. Protein function is almost always the immediate cause of cell function. To provide such functional information is the goal of proteomics. Proteomics has been defined (Anderson and Anderson 1998) as "the use of quantitative protein-level measurements of gene expression to characterize biological processes (e.g., disease processes and drug effects) and decipher the mechanisms of gene expression control." At the core of proteomics is the Human Protein Index—that is, the systematic identification of all human proteins (Anderson and Anderson 1982) using high-throughput, high-resolution, two-dimensional (2D)-gel electrophoresis to generate a gel with as many as 1,000 separate protein spots on it. A large amount of 2D-gel information is stored in the Proteomics database (see Appendix B for the Internet address). Plans have been made to identify every protein spot on a 2D gel, because the nanogram amount of protein in a spot is sufficient to determine a partial amino acid sequence by tandem mass spectrometry (Yates 1998). The partial sequence can then be looked up in the genome database and the protein identified. When proteins are modified by phosphorylation, acylation, glycosylation, farnesylation, limited proteolysis, or any of the other 30 or so covalent post-translational alterations, their migration on a 2D gel changes, thus allowing a correlation to be made with their activity or inactivity in the tissue. Such activity information cannot be gained from DNA microarray measurements of mRNA amounts.
Finally, many proteins are required to associate with other proteins in order to achieve activity, and there are various nondenaturing gel-electrophoresis methods to detect such associations. Current and future efforts can be expected to

I am not sure if I can describe exactly how you orient the green release switch with words.
The key needs to be turned to the right position and the green release must be pulled slightly away from the hitch so that the orange ring is exposed.
You should pull out and twist the green handle down. That should make it release if the key is in the right position.
Keep in mind that the hitch is very heavy so be ready to catch it as it falls or just let it fall. DO NOT LET IT FALL ON YOUR HAND. It will break your fingers if it falls on your hand over hard ground or concrete. -

I don't know why Land Rover does not just use a latch pin. You could get a locking one if you were really worried that any one who could afford to pay for a Land Rover would try it to steal it.

They are mounted on a rubber bushing and can swing back and forth a little. Does anyone know what they are for?? I t would seem odd to be adding dead weight to an already overweight vehichle!!
