London, Jan 27 ( TruthDive): What DNA has to do in a kissing? One should wonder why we have this title of " Men pass DNA to women while kissing" instead of the other way around or you call it vice versa? It is just common sense. Just think about the recent reporting of rapes and gang rapes in Indian capital New Delhi. There is a difference between passionate kiss of intimate lovers and stolen kisses of sex offenders.
What many people already know is that a DNA test will confirm who is the father of a child. Indians know that a senior politician N.D.Tiwari was compelled to undergo DNA mapping following a paternity suit in the court. It proved that he was the biological father of the son whom he disowned.
But the present finding by woman scientist Natália Kamodyová from Slovakia, is of different nature. She asked 12 willing couples to passionately kiss for at least two minutes. (The report of how many continued to kiss more than two minutes and went on further is not revealed). After the kissing process was over, she took samples of saliva from the women kissed by their willing partners. The saliva samples were tested at intervals of 5, 10, 30 and 60 minutes.
During a kiss, bacteria and mucus are exchanged. The scientist detected Y Chromosome which identifies men. This was done through amplification. She discovered that DNA of men last at least an hour after kissing.
This finding in the field of genetics could be useful in forensic science to identify the profile of sex offenders. A test on saliva of the woman subjected to forced sex can detect the man or men in the case of gang rape. Of course there is an established test for testing samples of semen in such cases.
Whether it is possible to identify the men after an hour of sex offence or whether the test can be conducted from the saliva of dead woman are other questions about which the scientist is yet to explore in detail.

Andrew John Turner (born 24 October 1953, in Coventry)[1] is a Conservative Party politician in the United Kingdom. He is currently the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Isle of Wight, a post he has held since the 2001 general election.[2]
Turner was educated at Rugby School, an independent school for boys in the market town of Rugby in Warwickshire, followed by Keble College at the University of Oxford in Oxford, receiving an MA in Geography. He later studied to be a teacher at the University of Birmingham and Henley Management College.[3]
Life and career[edit]
Turner taught economics in comprehensive schools. Turner was an education advisor to the previous Conservative government and founded the Grant Maintained Schools Foundation which he ran from 1988–1997. He was a councillor on Oxford City Council for several years. In 2000, he worked for the Labour-controlled London Borough of Southwark on outsourcing their education provision following a negative report from Ofsted.[1]
Parliamentary career[edit]
Turner contested Hackney South and Shoreditch in 1992,[4] then the Birmingham East MEP seat in 1994.[5] Turner took the Isle of Wight seat in the 2001 general election, after having previously stood in 1997, making one of the few gains for the Conservative Party in 2001.
Member of Parliament[edit]
Upon his 2001 election to parliament, Turner was selected to serve as executive of the 1922 Committee of the Conservative Party and as a member of the Education and Skills Select Committee. He also acted as Vice-Chairman of the Conservative Party from 2003 to 2005.[1] In 2005 he extended his majority to 12,978.[6] Later in the year he was moved to the Conservative frontbench, being given the role of Shadow Minister for Charities,[7] replacing Jacqui Lait, until 2006, when he was replaced by Greg Clark.[8] During his time on the Conservative frontbench he was the party's spokesman on the Charities Bill. Since 5 February 2008 he has been on the Justice Committee.[9] In the 2010 general election, Turner was re-elected as MP for the Isle of Wight with a majority of 10,527 from a total of 32,810 votes, 2.3% less than in the previous election.[10] Turner has broken the Conservative Party whip on rare occasions.[11]
In 2009, Turner was praised by Sir George Young for doing a "first-class job" of representing his constituents, who number approximately 107,000 on the Isle of Wight.[12] In 2011 he declared his support for capital punishment.[13]
Expenses claims[edit]
Following the MPs expenses scandal of 2009, Andrew Turner announced that all his expenses would be published on-line. He currently has his constituency home in Newport registered as his second home. In 2008, he claimed £137,641, putting him in 438th place of 645 MPs.[14] £108,842 of which was used to run his Newport-based office which employs four full-time staff including his partner and parliamentary assistant, Carole Dennett.[15]
Later in June, his expenses were revealed by the Daily Telegraph showing £6 spent on wrapping paper on Christmas Eve, four "life coaching" sessions costing £160, £240 for a member of staff to study GCSE maths and £20 on cufflinks. In 2005 and 2006, Turner made claims for £199 and £139 for a pair of digital radios. A further claim of £10 was made for a vase for his office after a well-wisher sent him flowers following a stroke.[16] In 2004, an employment tribunal ordered Mr Turner to pay back compensation to Colin Hedgley, a former office manager who was found to be unfairly dismissed. Of the £10,250 in ordered compensation, Turner "claimed £6,471 from parliamentary allowances and paid the rest from personal funds." He later defended the claims as fully related to his MP work, with the exception of the wrapping paper.[17] Further concern was expressed over a 2005 email his partner sent to the fees office regarding bank account details, which stated "Look forward to receiving the money – I shall then be able to spend it on lots of booze so that the forthcoming election goes in an alcoholic blur." Turner later stated that, although the e-mail "could be judged as inappropriate", it was merely "a private joke between two people in regular contact".[16] The Legg Report[18] showed that 343 MPs had been asked to repay some money, including Turner whose £681.60 was the 250th highest on the list.[19] The final report called for MPs to be disallowed from employing family members,[20] which may affect Turner's parliamentary assistant and partner.[21]
In 2010–11, Turner claimed £119,315 of expenses, higher than any other MP in neighbouring Hampshire and 197th overall which included over £16,000 for accommodation, £4,800 for travel and £97,864.47 for an office and staff. Turner pointed out he has the largest number of constituents in the UK and the claims included one-off expenditure for an office move to the Riverside Centre.[22]
Electoral performance[edit]
Prior to becoming a member of parliament, Andrew Turner contested a number of other elections in various locations across Britain for the Conservative Party. In 1992 Turner stood in the Hackney South and Shoreditch constituency, however fell short of a majority by 9,016 to Labour candidate Brian Sedgemore. In 1994 he stood in the European elections for Birmingham East, coming second again to Labour. 1997 was the first election fought by Turner on the Isle of Wight, and came second to Liberal Democrat MP Peter Brand, who Turner later ousted at the 2001 general election, with a swing of 5.7% for the Conservatives and 2,826 more votes than the Liberal Democrats. This increased again by the time of the 2005 election, with Turner achieving 48.9% of the votes. 2010 saw a slight dip in support but still a comfortable win with a share of 46.7% of the vote.[10]
Election | Constituency | Position | Votes | Percentage | Swing % |
1992 general election | Hackney South and Shoreditch | 2nd | 10,714 | 29.0 | +0.3 |
1994 European Parliament election | Birmingham East | 2nd | 35,171 | 22.7 | n/a |
1997 general election | Isle of Wight | 2nd | 24,868 | 34.0 | −13.9 |
2001 general election | Isle of Wight | 1st | 25,223 | 39.7 | +5.7 |
2005 general election | Isle of Wight | 1st | 32,717 | 48.9 | +9.2 |
2010 general election | Isle of Wight | 1st | 32,810 | 46.7 | −2.3 |
One Wight[edit]
In July 2010 Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg announced plans to normalise the size of constituencies to around 77,000 with plans for part of the island to be represented by a mainland MP, something which has not happened since 1832.[23] Two exceptions to the boundary changes had been made to Scottish islands but it was felt that as the Isle of Wight was geographically closer to the mainland, such an exception would not be necessary.[24] The One Wight campaign, led by Andrew Turner launched with a petition on 23 July 2010 and within the first week over 1,500 people had signed,[25] which had increased to 5,000 by the middle of August.[26] The target of 10,000 signatures was reached over the Garlic Festival weekend in August with the final figure of 17,529 before the petition reached Downing Street.[27]
On 6 September 2010 the OneWight petition was taken to Downing Street with Andrew Turner and several other island representatives including Labour representative Mark Chiverton and Liberal Democrat representative Jill Wareham who both stood as candidates in the 2010 general election.[28]
Personal life[edit]
On 14 August 2006, Turner was attending the Isle of Wight County Show with his Jack Russell Terrier, when he lost hold of the lead. The dog escaped and ate a four-year-old ferret. Turner later apologised to the ferret's owner Patricia Price.[29]
On 10 December 2006, it was reported that Turner had suffered a "serious stroke".[30][31] In late April 2007, a message on Turner's website thanked friends and political opponents for their support and reported that he was recuperating, having since attended events around the island, and was expected to make a full recovery. He lived with his partner, Carole, in Newport until December 2014.[32]
On 12 February 2010, Turner's then partner Carole Dennett was involved in a verbal altercation with Isle of Wight Council leader Cllr David Pugh, in an incident which occurred outside a Charity Valentine's Ball at Cowes Yacht Haven. Pugh, who swore at Dennett during the exchange, later apologized for his conduct.[33]
On 10 December 2014, it was announced that Turner had split from his long term partner, Carole Dennett and in January 2015, four former party chairmen called for Turner to be replaced as 2015 General Election candidate after Dennett moved in with his parliamentary aide and made him "the laughing stock of the island."

This is incredible irritating, and will eventually lead me to being banned in ranked games. TL;DR; edit: Basically found out hundreds of people are facing the same issue, of client crashing upon summoning (loading at 100%) and not being able to reconnect. Some got banned unfairly for it, lucky ones still didn't. If you are facing this issue please post your geographic location (as we thing most is based in Middle Eastern parts for the moment). We have come to the conclusion it is NOT client side, but server side / coding issue. Lets make them aware so they can fix this issue Every fifth/sixth game, my client crashes. If I try to reconnect, same thing thing happens. Trust me I was very persistent in the number of tries. Basically, after everyone loads up to 100%, and the Summoning text appears, just when the game is supposed to load, my client crashes. After the crash I still have the main screen which shows, Playing in game..... After I kill that and re-open the client, it says "Reconnect", and the same thing happens. I have no idea, why... is this happening. Nothing changes in the conditions of my gaming. I am not giving up on ranked games, but.. I feel sorry for everyone else, and the fact that I will never go a league up because of this. Please help out. edit: Oh.,., just to add... after this happens. I load up LOL on my iMac, in the OSX system. So completely different computer and client, and when i try to reconnect it crashes as well. Which to me, means that it is not my clients fault, if the same not re-connectable crash happens on both OS X and Windows clients... EDIT: 1 day after. I did the whole thing as to wrenchman post. Reinstalled: .Net .Direct .Video drivers .Adobe Air .Flash .Fresh download and installation of LOL I played last night and today. Just when I thought its over, I had a 5 games hotstreak win on ranked... here we go again. Seriously need help. Im adding a new log.
SMD Qlida
probs us "pro" players getting kicked for carrying 2 much :C, i have the same problem, it's quite annoying that you have to win a game just cause riot is doing their job badly :S
Senior Member
I have the same problem. **** this game. When I manage to launch I have a crazy ping like 300 constant.... That's so retarded. That's since the last patch I cannot belive this happens with all the money that they have. I'm gonna stay on DOTA 2 for good now.

Same **** happening to me , its pathetic.
After a 5 hot streak ranked, maybe 10 games into the fresh installation, same thing happened just now. BUMP! needs attention

I have the same problem but it crashes on 56% or sometimes on 73%.

From Jefferson County to JuneauEvent DetailsDate(s) & Time(s):: June 18, 2014 at 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM Location: Depauville Free Library, 32333 County Route 179, Depauville, NY 13632 Phone: 315-686-3299 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Link: http://www.depauvillefreelibrary.org Event Description
When Ken Waldman, Alaska's Fiddling Poet, comes to Depauville Free Library on Wednesday, June 18, for a writing workshop beginning at 5pm and a reading/performance starting at 6pm, it will mark Waldman's first ever Jefferson County appearance.
Return to event list.Both events are free and open to writers of all levels and experience. Picture William Carlos Williams behind a dogsled. Walt Whitman jamming with the Carter Family. Reviews of Ken Waldman's performances are full of similar words of high praise. Waldman has been touring nationally since 1995, as a visiting writer at over 80 colleges and universities, and as a visiting artist at over 200 schools in 32 states, and has led workshops from Alaska to Maine. As a performer, he's played from the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage to Berkeley's Freight and Salvage, occasionally as a soloist, more often as leader of one of his ever-changing troupes of nationally recognized musicians. Waldman's performance combines old-time Appalachian-style fiddling, poetry, and Alaska-set storytelling for a show uniquely his. His live performance has a "Feel like a Ken Burns movie," wrote Ric Williams of the Austin Chronicle. Milwaukee's Shepherd Express Weekly termed Waldman, "A one-man Prairie Home Companion," and The Denver Post has called Waldman's mix of music and words, "Renegade Americana." The writing workshop is entitled Four Writing Prompts: the beginning of four new stories or poems. "The more you write," says Waldman, "the luckier you get--and each time you start a piece, there's an opportunity to get luckier than ever. The trick is getting started." During the workshop writers will not only begin four new pieces, but will learn strategies to begin many more. In addition to being a fiddler (with nine CDs), the 28-year Alaska resident is a former college professor with an MFA in Creative Writing and the author of eight books. He has six full-length poetry collections, a memoir (about his life as a touring artist), a children's book, and over 400 of his stories and poems have appeared in such journals as Poet Lore, Beloit Poetry Journal, and Quarterly West. Waldman's show appeals to anyone who enjoys traditional Appalachian-style fiddling, smart poetry, acclaimed storytelling, or Alaska. For those who enjoy artists who mix disciplines, Waldman is an artist to seek out. Start the evening in Jefferson County, then journey with Ken Waldman to Juneau and back. The two events are co-sponsored by Depauville Library and Poets & Writers, a New York City literary arts organization. For more information about the workshop or the reading, call the library at 686-3299. |

Campaign rhetoric, we're led to believe, can be hard to sort out. If Paul Ryan says his budget plan protects Medicare and the Democrats say it "ends" it, what should we believe? Those are the kinds of questions journalism is supposed to answer.
Which is why ABC World News' August 14 "Reality Check" on Medicare was such a failure.
Actually, the fact that it wasn't very good wasn't a total shocker. That was to be expected as soon as you heard Diane Sawyer said this:
So we asked ABC's Jon Karl for a reality check on the plan and what it would change for each of us.
Jonathan Karl is the most successful product of the Collegiate Network, a right-wing outfit that aims to plant conservative ideologues in influential news outlets. The project would have been thrilled with his lead:
The first thing you need to know about the Ryan plan is this: It does not apply to anybody who is now 55 years old or older. Today's seniors stay in the current system.
Not really. The Ryan budget repeals the Affordable Care Act; part of that law filled in the so-called "doughnut hole" in prescription drug coverage, which saves seniors money. According to Paul N. Van de Water of the Center on Budget & Policy Priorities (3/28/12), "5 million Medicare beneficiaries have saved more than $3.2 billion, according to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)."
So under the Ryan plan many would pay more for medicine. That's a change.
The biggest problem with the Ryan plan, though, is the shift from Medicare's single-payer structure to a voucher scheme, where the government would provide seniors with money to buy a private insurance plan.
Critics of the Ryan plan–from progressive economists to the Congressional Budget Office–argue that the amount of the voucher won't actually cover the cost of healthcare, meaning that people will have to pay the difference themselves.
Karl doesn't ignore that, saying that "Ryan believes costs will come down because insurance companies will have to compete to get your Medicare dollars. That's possible. But there's no guarantee."
Not only is there no guarantee, there's little reason to believe this will happen in the real world.
But Karl spends more time on a rather far-fetched idea: Instead of costing you money, you could actually turn a profit:
For any plan that costs over $15,000, you pay the difference. If your plan costs less, you get cash back.
For example, if the plan you choose costs $14,000, you'll get a check in the mail for $1,000.
Well now that sounds pretty promising, right? It's not at all clear why Karl is even presenting this scenario. As Paul Krugman noted (New York Times, 6/5/11)
A Congressional Budget Office analysis found that to get coverage equivalent to what they have now, older Americans would have to pay vastly more out of pocket under the Paul Ryan plan than they would if Medicare as we know it was preserved. Based on the budget office estimates, the typical senior would end up paying around $6,000 more out of pocket in the plan's first year of operation.
If that's what the CBO estimates the typical senior will experience under the Ryan plan, why is Karl touting the plan as a potential source of income for seniors? ABC's reality check needs a reality check.

Understanding IGI Entries
Q: I have a question about information I recieved from the International Genealogical Index. I found an ancestor and it gave the birth, etc., but there was a number after that and I don't know what it is. The information in the IGI was: Johanna SULLIVAN, born 26 July 1868, Killorglin, 0317, Kerry, Ireland. Below that was a Batch Number (C701366). What do I do with this information? -- Jodi
A: The International Genealogical Index is an index designed by the Family History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This index was designed to help LDS individuals keep track of what temple ordinances had already been completed on behalf of their deceased ancestors. Without going into a lot of detail on LDS beliefs, I want to stress that LDS believe they are offering deceased individuals necessary ordinances that must be performed on earth. However, those deceased individuals still have the right to say "Thanks, but no thanks." If you find your ancestor in the IGI, it does not mean that they have been forced to become LDS (or Mormon). They have been given the opportunity.
With that said, there are two ways that an individual can be included in the IGI:
The key to determining what type of entry you are looking at is to look at the Batch Number. The batch number your entry has is C701366. The C lets me know that this came from a Christening/Birth record and is part of the extraction program. Entries that begin with an M are also part of the extraction program and allude to marriage records. Patron submissions can begin with all number or certain other letters. Details on the different beginning letters can be found at your local Family History Center on the IGI Instructions fiche.
Armed with this information you now have a clue as to where the entry came from, a birth record. A search of the Family History Library Catalog (FHLC) shows that there are 1,031 microfilm reels of birth records for the years 1864 to 1955 from the General Registry Office in Ireland. Many of these are indexes. There is an index of births for the year 1868, which is found on FHL film #101045.
I would encourage you to order this microfilm at your local FHC. You will no doubt find Johanna SULLIVANS entry with the place name as you found it in the IGI. Also important to your research is the fact that the Family History Library has the actual birth records on microfilm from 1864 to March 1881. Therefore you can also locate the actual entry in the birth register for your ancestor, which will supply additional information including:
Can I Research an Adoption Line?
Q: While doing research, I came across my great grandmother and her parents and others, discovering a whole new family. In doing a census in 1870 I discovered that my grandmother on my father's side was adopted. Does our bloodline end with my grandmother along with my genealogy or do I include them as family? -- Sonja
A: While the term genealogy refers to the researching of a bloodline, most people today are researching their family history. What this means, is that you can include the lineage of the adopted parents. I would suggest that you qualify it in some way in any published accounts you may share. This includes web pages. Otherwise there is always the chance that misinformation can be shared and multiplied, making research all the more difficult in years to come where this line is concerned..
While there may not be adoption records as we know them today, it is likely that someone was appointed as the guardian for your grandmother. It would be a good idea to search for guardianship records. These are sometimes located with the probate records, though they are considered court records in general.
Germans in St. Petersburg
Q: Where can I find out more about my wife's ancestor who moved from Germany to St. Petersburg, Russia before finally immigrating to America? Specifically, records in St. Petersburg area. My understanding is that the German immigrants to Russia data is housed in St. Petersburg but contains info on emigrants to the Ukraine, not St. Petersburg itself. -- Peter
A: When we refer to the Germans from Russia, we are very often referring to a specific ethnic group. This unique group was enticed to Russia by Catherine II, former German princess and then Empress of Russia. Catherine's manifesto offered these enticements:
The first Germans to take her up on this immigrated to the Volga River in the years 1764 to 1767. The next group would be those that immigrated to the Ukraine. Still others would be sent to the Crimea and Bessarabia. An important point about these immigrants is that they all had migrated and established their colonies long before your ancestor arrived. In fact there were so many coming that in 1804, a decree was issued that did require all newly arriving immigrants:
You may want to turn your attention to Germany for records on your wife's ancestor. You already know where he was born. However, finding out why he went to Russia may prove interesting.

A Murder in 1838
Q: I've found that my 3rd great grandmother was indicted for murder in 1838. I know he was acquitted of those charges in 1842. I would like to know more about the charges, but the courthouse containing the records (Fayette, Jefferson County, Miss.) burned in 1988 and the officials say those records were destroyed. I read the indictment from a fire-scorched, water-logged book. I plan a trip to the State Archives this summer. Is there any place where I can search there for those old records? -- A. Ross
A: The records that you would most likely be dealing with would be those found in the circuit courts. It was the responsibility of the circuit court to handle such matters as:
While these records would normally be available at the county courthouse, you may also find them at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and some through the Family History Library.
Another resource that you will not want to overlook at the State Archives would be the newspapers. If there was indeed a murder, it most likely made the local papers at the time. In fact, the entire trial process may be found in the newspapers.
Finding My Indian
Q: My grandmother was born in Oklahoma in 1907. She was born on or near an Indian reservation in Ada. Her name was Ninnie Irene WILLIAMS. I have found absolutely nothing for her. She hated the name Ninnie, which was supposed to be an Indian name, so she always signed everything as Irene Williams. How do I find any information on her and her family? I know that her mother's name was Ethel EDWARDS and her father was from somewhere in Arkansas and his name was William Smith WILLIAMS. I have no idea who was Indian or if they were. -- Deanna
A: Based on your message, I am assuming that your grandmother has passed away. If you haven't done so already, you will want to get a copy of her death certificate. This may support your currently known information or may give you additional information.
You will also want to search the 1910 census for this family. Oklahoma is one of the states that were soundexed, so you have an index for the entire state. The 1910 census will include information about where Ethel and William were born, as well as where their parents were born. It will also list their race. Of course, there is always the chance that the information in the census is not completely accurate, but it is one more record to give you clues to your ancestry.

To date I have bought on primary and one investment through Jamie and Josh. The primary I actually closed at 26 days and moved in at the 21 day mark. Josh even negotiated a rent back for a week because I had to fly out of town for two weeks. Nothing but great work from these two.

Ratings & Reviews
I highly recommend Jamie for your real estate needs. He has been assisting us in our quest to find the perfect home for quite some time and he remains patient and persistent. We can't thank him enough for his knowledge and hard work. He also has a great sense of humor which is a breath of fresh air in the home buying process.
Josh and Jamie were very helpful in helping me purchase a home in La Mesa. I was just returning from deployment and had some issues with other realtors. I went to Josh and Jamie who were extremely helpful with everyone from contract negotiation all the way through close.
Nothing but positive things to say about Jamie and Josh. I met them at a point when I was in NO position to buy. That knowledge didn't prevent them from taking quite a bit of time out of their busy schedule to just chit-chat with me about what could happen in the future. Three years later, I contacted them and they were nothing but pleasant, charming, hard working, intelligent, and held my hand through my 1st experience of buying a house. It should have been an overwhelming experience, but their extremely helpful nature made it seem like a breeze! Because they knew it was my 1st time buying a house, they took the time to see houses with me that they knew wasn't going to be a good fit for me. They explained to me beforehand how they wouldn't recommend it but left it up to me to decide whether I wanted to take them at their word, or see it for myself so that I could chalk it up to a learning experience. Yes, they were always right, but valued each and every lesson I learned, and I thank them for that. In the end, I got a home I was very happy and proud to own. Even got a killer price for it, even considering it was a seller's market. They seemed so "in tune" to their market that they knew what price would get accepted. A little over a year later, I considered selling due to some personal problems ( I was still happy about the house!). It was my 1st sale of a home, and they again held my hand throughout the whole process. We went all the way to receiving some great offers (would have made a very healthy profit) but I decided to keep the house. Jamie and Josh put in a lot of time and effort towards the sale of the property and I felt guilty about making them go through with all that they had. They were nothing but gracious and supportive about my decision. I've got nothing but positive things to say about these two gentlemen. They've earned my respect and loyalty 110%.
I highly recommend Jamie and Josh for your local real estate needs. Their friendliness, professionalism and real estate knowledge are second to none in the business. What impressed me with them the most was their adaptability to my purchasing style and rational. They are detailed oriented and take the time to make sure they meet your purchasing requirements. I will do business with them anytime.
Josh and Jamie are a well balanced team, ready to deal with whatever comes up in the sales process. They were honest, communicative, and always on our side. They expertly handled our sale while we were fifteen hundred miles away. They definitely went above and beyond to help us sell our home. I would not hesitate to recommend Jamie and Josh to anyone.
Jamie and Josh are true professionals. They are enthusiastic and highly engaged as realtors, and I would recommend them to anyone. They struck the perfect balance between catering to a client's needs and being forthcoming about the reality of a property. Their ability to do such illustrated just how much they knew about the markets and various areas of San Diego, and among their other strengths as agents, they were able to leverage their clear knowledge when it came time to negotiate. Although I personally was not able to follow through with a purchase of a property due to moving overseas, I went as far to make offers and receive counter-offers, and Jamie and Josh were consistently successful at negotiating for a price way under the marketed value. As a partnership, they complement each other's strengths and provide the reinforcement and support needed for both the buying and selling parties. You cannot go wrong with Jamie and Josh!
Once again, Jamie and Josh do not disappointment. Our investment group have bought and sold properties with Jamie & Josh since 2005. They are always able to find the deals we want in our portfolio. Their attention to detail and the understanding of evaluating multi-family properties is top notch. Jamie & Josh will be our realtors for life. If you are looking for an investment property or primary residence, we would highly recommend using Jamie & Josh.
I have been working with Jamie and Josh for a few months now. I am a new home buyer, and I am still looking. They have been absolutely great in explaining the process to me and breaking down the steps. They keep it very simple and logical. It didn't take me long at all to figure out the steps and decision time frames I have. For example, the first offer I placed in, after it came back accepted, I realized the place wasn't for me. I was afraid that since it was accepted I would have to pay a penalty, so I went back to Josh and he told me I have time to remove the offer before I would owe a penalty. Kept me very calm about it, and they have been very honest and forth coming of their thoughts when we go house hunting. I have really been enjoying working with these guys!
Josh and Jamie were fantastic! Very helpful and always available, they made this my easiest home purchase ever! From viewing to signing, every step of the way was a very simple exchange, and I always felt that they had my best interests at heart.

Sierra Club Bulletin: News for Members
Cleaning House | Green Candidates | Wild Card | Canyonland Concerts | Volunteer Spotlight | Ecoregion Roundup
Cleaning House
It's time to sweep out the halls of power.
by B. J. Bergman
On a drizzly November day in Washington, D.C., the Sierra Club and allied green groups delivered 85 mail sacks to selected denizens of the Capitol, including an uncharacteristically reticent House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The bags (green, naturally) contained copies of the Environmental Bill of Rights petition signed by more than a million Americans.
A day later, in what Representative Sherwood Boehlert (R-N.Y.) called "one of the key votes of this Congress," the House That Newt Built severed from its budget proposal 17 riders aimed at muzzling the Environmental Protection Agency.
Coincidence? Perhaps. Plainly, though, the past year of grassroots environmentalism is having an impact on Congress, state legislatures, and voters. In Washington state, the legislature approved a "takings" initiative that would have forced taxpayers to compensate property owners whenever government action limited the use of their land. Environmentalists quickly mobilized to place the measure on the ballot, and their efforts were amply rewarded. By a three-to-two margin Washington voters rejected the notion that taxpayers should have to pay polluters not to pollute�a key component of the Contract With America.
Nor were the Contract's supporters faring better in other parts of the country. In Virginia, citizens answered Governor George Allen's pleas for a Republican-led "anti-regulatory" statehouse with the political equivalent of a Bronx cheer. In Kentucky, Democrat Paul Patton was elected governor in what many viewed as a proxy race between President Clinton and the GOP leadership. And in Maine, two special elections went to Democrats, ending Republicans' brief dominance of the state legislature and possibly presaging a shift back to pre-Newt values.
Just as significant were signs that the party of Teddy Roosevelt, if not actually emerging from its protracted bout of anti-environmental fever, was at least recognizing the political risks of being tagged as the party of James Watt. Republicans like Boehlert, it should be noted, have never forgotten their conservationist roots, or the fact that the vast majority of Americans want to protect our air, water, wilderness, and wildlife. But they have been a distinct minority in the new congressional majority. Most Republican legislators seemed to regard trashing the environment as a free pass to re-election. But the more voters learned about the leadership's plans, the less they liked them. And GOP leaders have been feeling the heat.
In October, the House Republican Conference suggested that GOP representatives "build credibility" on the environment by engaging in high-profile (if highly deceptive) photo opportunities, from planting trees to picking up highway trash. (See "Instant Environmentalists" in "Priorities," January/February.) The memo advised ersatz enviros to act quickly before "green extremists" labeled their stunts "craven, election-year gimmicks."
Three weeks later, Gingrich himself was apologizing for his party's year-long efforts to dismantle environmental protections. "We mishandled the environment all spring and summer," admitted the Speaker. "Some places they moved a little faster than they should."
Well, yes. Mistakes were made. Newt's minions moved too fast in trying to cripple the Clean Water Act, neuter the Endangered Species Act, hamstring the EPA, sell off national parks, and drill the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. And how did they come, albeit belatedly, to see the error of their ways?
The million-plus signatures on the Environmental Bill of Rights certainly helped. That initiative, part of a broader campaign to bring the polluters' agenda to the attention of the media and the public, contributed to a remarkable change in the political landscape. The environment has become increasingly prominent in the debate over the nation's future. And thanks to the tireless efforts of Sierra Club members, incumbents are finding that fronting for polluters can be hazardous to their careers.
Voters, most of whom call themselves environmentalists, are getting mad. What worries Gingrich and the rest of the Republican leadership�as well as genuinely pro-environment legislators like Boehlert�is that they'll soon want to get even. On election day, they'll get their chance.
B. J. Bergman is associate editor of Sierra.
Where All Candidates Are Green
Do you want to help shape the Sierra Club's future? Then don't just sit there. Vote.
Yes, it's that time again, when you and 560,000 other concerned environmentalists get to exercise your most basic right as a Club member: the right to participate in continent-wide leadership elections. "The Sierra Club is the only national environmental organization that is run with full democracy at all levels," says Sandy Tepfer, the Club's chief inspector of elections. "But democracy doesn't work if electorates are not informed, or fail to vote."
As happens every spring, the terms of 5 of the 15 members of the Board of Directors are about to expire. Candidates for these open seats are either selected by the nominating committee or must petition to appear on the ballot. The Board of Directors is the Club's primary governing body, responsible not just for conservation policy but also for the organization's legal affairs and finances�including management of a $40 million annual budget. In addition to choosing new directors, members will be asked whether the Club should seek to ban all commercial logging on federal lands.
Brief biographies of the candidates as well as ballot-question arguments pro and con will be included with your ballot, which you'll be receiving early in March. Further information on the candidates will be available in group and chapter newsletters and at the Club's World Wide Web site, http://www.sierraclub.org. (You can also find us on the Internet via gopher or FTP.) Your completed ballot must be received by noon on Saturday, April 20. Results will be reported in the September/October 1996 issue of Sierra.
"I urge every member to be an informed and participating voter," says Tepfer. "The future of the Sierra Club is in your hands."

Canyonland Concerts
Since its 1989 world premiere at New York's Lincoln Center, Symphony No. 1 has been performed frequently throughout the country. The Utah Symphony plans to feature the piece in 36 concerts this year to help celebrate the state's centennial; concertgoers will also get a glimpse of the region's stunning visual beauty�now threatened by legislation moving through Congress�via a slide show projected behind the orchestra.
For those who can't make it to Utah, the Sierra Club�sponsored symphony is available on a Koss compact disc of Duffy compositions titled Freedom Works, performed by the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. Half of Duffy's income from performances and disc sales of Symphony No. 1 goes to the Utah Chapter.
Volunteer Spotlight: The Politics of Persistence
by Amy Wilson
There were few bright spots for environmentalists in the 1994 elections, but in Rhode Island all three candidates the Sierra Club endorsed for federal office won. Republican environmental champion Senator John Chafee was elected to his fourth term. Our longtime ally Jack Reed, a Democrat, earned a third term in the House. Newcomer Patrick Kennedy�a Democrat who had shown strong environmental leadership as a state representative�became the latest of the Kennedy clan to join the U.S. Congress.
Behind the scenes in each of these races was Liz Kelley, the Sierra Club's Rhode Island political chair. Months before the election she was researching the candidates' backgrounds, writing press releases, talking to reporters, and drumming up support in the Sierra Club and beyond. "A political chair doesn't have to be a policy wonk," she says, "but it's essential to know what's worth fighting for."
In the Chafee race, some activists argued against an endorsement, on the grounds that Chafee had opposed them on some issues. "I believed in his commitment and his record," Kelley says. "I spent hours talking to the dissenters to get at the core of their concerns. Then I went to the senator's staff to get answers. In the end I was able to persuade people that even if we were not in one-hundred-percent agreement with the senator, we did see eye-to-eye on a majority of issues." A few months later, Chafee, newly appointed head of the Senate Environment Committee, was boldly defying other GOP leaders' attempts to roll back the nation's environmental laws.
Kelley's interest in politics dates from her youth in the Boston area�"American revolution country," she calls it�where she tagged along with her father to town meetings and stuffed envelopes at local candidates' campaign headquarters. "My father taught me the importance of community involvement," Kelley says. "And he was right�volunteering is exhilarating. It gives you a feeling of connection with your neighbors, helps give you control over your community's destiny, and introduces you to like-minded, energetic people."
Today Kelley works full-time for a financial planning company in Warwick, the second- largest city in Rhode Island. She volunteers for Amnesty International and tutors exchange students in English at Brown University. Despite the breadth of her commitments, Kelley retains a reputation for scrupulous attention to details.
"What makes Liz so valuable is that she doesn't let anything fall through the cracks," says colleague Helen Tjader, Rhode Island Chapter chair. "You have to move fast when you're doing electoral work, yet she follows up on every detail." Since the 1994 elections, Kelley has made it a priority to "keep communication flowing" between Club activists and their congressional delegates. She's also preparing for the Sierra Club's 1996 endorsements. "I triple-check everything when I'm working with a candidate," Kelley says. "An endorsement is a major decision. It's important for me to be informed and for the candidate to see the Sierra Club as a top-notch organization."
Amy Wilson is senior editor of the Sierra Club's activist newsletter, The Planet.
Ecoregion Roundup
In 65 chapters and hundreds of local groups spanning 21 ecoregions and two nations, Sierra Club members are hard at work for a healthier planet.
by Tracy Baxter
Pacific Coast: Halting the War on the Environment Pigs in slop couldn't have worn smiles broader than those of the timber and real-estate interests in Washington state after the shakeup of the November 1994 elections. They celebrated their victories by helping pass an anti-environment "takings" bill that would have paid property owners not to poison the public. Acting fast, the Cascade Chapter and its allies rounded up a quarter million signatures to place a referendum on the November 1995 ballot. And though the opposition poured money into a counter-campaign, people power triumphed: the worst takings law in the nation was routed by a three-to-two margin.
American Southeast: Making Connections in a Watery Realm As Gulf Coast wetlands are drained and diverted to make way for development, migratory waterfowl are increasingly taking refuge in rice fields. Unfortunately, most farmers drain their fields after their second annual harvest in October or November, further shrinking the freshwater habitat available to traveling geese, ducks, and cranes. But in adopting the Houston Chapter's plan to keep 65 acres inundated through the winter, Raun's Lowell Farms is providing an excellent roosting and feeding haven until March, when the last birds normally return northward. In return, the chapter is encouraging local markets to sell the farm's brand of organically grown jasmine rice.
Pacific Northwest: Defending the Ancient Forests The British Columbia Chapter and other environmental groups are celebrating a solid gain in their fight for sustainable forestry: the B.C. government has agreed to dramatically reduce the rate of the cut in Clayoquot Sound. By keeping the pressure up, environmentalists impelled officials to appoint a 20-member Clayoquot Scientific Panel. Assigned to reinvent forest management in the Sound, the panel hammered out ecoregion- specific recommendations that would effectively ban conventional clearcutting. In summer 1995, the B.C. government agreed to implement all of them. But as some centuries-old Sitka spruce, hemlock, and western red cedar are still being felled for such consumer disposables as phone books and newspapers, environmentalists have a way to go in protecting the pristine areas of one of North America's last great rainforests.
Great Lakes: Protecting Our Public Lands Reflecting Minnesotans' overwhelming support for protecting Voyageurs National Park and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness from increased motorized recreational use, 400 citizens gathered last October on the lawn of the state capitol to cheer the North Star Chapter's 100-member "paddle parade." As a counter-demonstration of 20 participants and one snowmobile doddered along, Minnesota's Democratic Representatives Bruce Vento, Martin Sabo, and Bill Luther further ignited the Twin-Cities crowd with their denunciation of congressional proposals that would shatter the serenity of the parks with the roar of internal-combustion engines. A field hearing the following month in Minneapolis drew 1,500 supporters.
Southwest Deserts: Restoring Wildlife The Grand Canyon Chapter's report on a federal field hearing on wolf reintroduction held last November in Phoenix was short and sweet: we came, they didn't. In the weeks prior to the event, the chapter created a pro-lobo buzz by mailing 15,000 postcard alerts and following them up with four nights of phone calls. Newspapers in Phoenix and Tucson responded with editorials supporting reintroduction of Canis lupus in Arizona and New Mexico. After hearing convincing testimony from environmentalists with little rebuttal (ranchers stayed away in droves), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service adjourned the hearing early.
Sierra Nevada: Preserving Wild-and-Scenic Rivers In a more temperate political climate, a proposal to destroy 48 miles of two free-flowing mountain rivers with the most expensive dam in U.S. history might quickly die of embarrassment. But in the unreasonable 104th Congress, Representative John Doolittle's (R-Calif.) Auburn Dam plan is alive and well. The billion-dollar-plus multipurpose dam, which is being sold as a flood control project, would be constructed on an earthquake faultline, a planning decision widely regarded as folly. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), usually an environmental ally, is leaning toward support of the project. The Motherlode Chapter is asking Club members to write to the senator, suggesting cheaper and safer alternatives such as fixing the rivers' levees and lowering the Folsom Dam spillways.

Girls Cross Country: St Viator runs away with Fenton Sectional
Updated: October 27, 2012 11:29PM
A week after scoring a perfect 15 in the its regional, St. Viator was out to prove it that result wasn't a fluke. The Lions did just that Saturday, as they ran away with the Class 2A Fenton Sectional title with 22 points. Jones was the team runner-up with 58 points.
St. Viator senior Hanna Winter set a course and Fenton Sectional record, finishing in 18:06.04, nearly 11.5 seconds faster than her teammate, runner-up Meghan Carroll (18:17.63). Julia Heller (Jones, 19:15.58), Sarah Curci (U-High, 19:33.56) and Shannon Cooney (St. Viator, 19:41.81) rounded out the top five
"I really wasn't expecting this,'' Winter said. ''I was just hoping to run well. I didn't run as well as I had hoped last week, so it was good to get this.
''I had no idea about the record until everybody started yelling it at the end. That's pretty cool.''
Mather (85 points), U-High (174 points) and Fenton (180 points) rounded out the top five teams.
Dominique LoVerde (St. Viator, 19:53.28), Jennifer Geary (Jones, 19:59.31), Katie Malek (St. Viator, 20:02.06), Julia Muller (Jones, 20:02.57) and Daisy Mora (Jones, 20:04.32) completed the top 10.
Trinity finished the meet in sixth place with 184 points, missing out of the team's first trip Downstate by four points. The Blazers, however, will send two runners — Emily Doyle (20:25.02, 14th place) and Erin Nelson (20:58.08, 24th place) — to the state meet next weekend. Both runners are freshmen and will be the first Trinity runners to compete in the cross country state finals.
Elmwood Park finished one spot behind Trinity with 200 points. Senior Bre Ziegler, who finished in 15th place with a time of 20:27.59, will be Elmwood Park's lone representative.

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a rare but potentially life-threatening reaction to the use of almost any of a group of antipsychotic drugs or major tranquilizers (neuroleptics). These drugs are commonly prescribed for the treatment of schizophrenia and other neurological, mental, or emotional disorders. Several of the more commonly prescribed neuroleptics include thioridazine, haloperidol, chlorpromazine, fluphenazine and perphenazine.
The syndrome is characterized by high fever, stiffness of the muscles, altered mental status (paranoid behavior), and autonomic dysfunction. Autonomic dysfunction alludes to defective operations of the components of the involuntary (autonomic) nervous system, leading to wide swings of blood pressure, excessive sweating and excessive secretion of saliva.
A genetic basis for the disorder is suspected but not proven. It does appear to be clear that a defect in the receptors to dopamine (dopamine D2 receptor antagonism) is an important contributor to the cause of neuroleptic malignant syndrome.

Why use Just Search for your PPC campaign?
Paid search marketing, or pay per click (PPC), is the most targeted form of search marketing. It is also easy to justify, because you only pay when a user clicks on your advert.
The concept is simple, but day to day management of a campaign is complex. If you take on the task yourself, it will keep you from other important areas of your business.
Ask yourself this:
- Do you have the time to manage all your keywords across Google, Yahoo, MSN and potentially more?
- Will you be able to react when a competitor adjusts their bidding strategy?
- Do you have the capacity to manage the actual spend on a daily basis to ensure budgets are adhered to?
Perhaps you could benefit from having Just Search manage your PPC campaign.
We can:
- Increase your market share
- Tighten your targeted advertising spend
- Provide instant exposure for your website/business
- Produce measurable results
By employing us, you remain free to concentrate on what you do best, which is running your business.
Our approach to PPC revolves around ensuring that you pay the optimum amount for each click to ensure the maximum return on investment. In many cases, our strategies result in reduced costs to our clients.
Optimise your PPC campaign
Whether taking over the management of an existing campaign or building one from scratch, Just Search will optimise the way PPC is carried out for your website. Your campaign will be highly targeted, affordable and fully transparent.
Extensive keyword/sector research ensures you will only be bidding on keywords that are likely to result in sales, while 24/7 bid management and analysis means the maximum number of clicks for the minimum cost. We also provide regular reporting to highlight what we are doing as well as what we are planning to do.

- Goal setting, tracking and full reporting
- Sector and keyword analysis

Eye-catching ads
Research has shown that 95% of Google users look at the paid search results which appear at the top of the page, while 31% look at the ads which appear down the right-hand side. Pay per click therefore provides unparalleled reach, particularly when you combine it with a strong SEO campaign.

This was well below Big Brother's maximum of 25, meaning they go their shopping budge.
As a reward for doing so well Big Brother also gave the housemates pizzas and beers to celebrate.
They all screamed and jumped on the sofas when it was revealed they had won the luxury shopping budget.
