It's April 5th, Tuesday evening / Wednesday morning, 2:56am, and I am laying in my room, aka the Mooch Mobile, parked in my house, aka Walmart parking lot. I'm awaiting the meeting of 3 special people, well, 2 and a half; Shay Kelley & Shane Patrick of Project 50/50 and of course their pretty puppy dog ZuZu. I see a big long bed truck with a camper shell slowly pull into the parking lot, and park on the opposite end overlooking the city. They love parking in places where they can see a great landscape.
At this time I am exhausted and ready to get some sleep, and knowing Shay & Shane must be even more exhausted after helping out on Skid Row, I text Shay and recommend we get some rest and meet in the morning.
At 9:06 the next morning, I text Shay, "Morning!" … 4 minutes later she replies, "Hola dude!!!!" I respond, "Can I come bother you guys now or what!" immediately she replies, "Most freakin definitely lol".
So finally we get to meet, interviewing each other with warm smiles and enthusiasm in a Walmart parking lot overlooking the city, a bright and warm California sun scattering the adjacent hills. I spend a few minutes playing with ZuZu, she's so soft and calm and beautiful. Shay is beautiful as well, inside and out, and Shane is very intelligent, but he's a looker too! LOL
After about 20 minutes of learning each other's stories, I offered them to come inside my kitchen and feed them breakfast; my kitchen just so happens to be a McDonald's inside Walmart, I'm so lucky! Shay, Shane and I continued to discuss plans for the near and distant future. I found something in common that I have with Shay, in that she didn't tell her mother she was homeless for the longest time. I still have not told my mother, but Shay and I both agreed it's for good reason. This specific truth is not one to tell a mother, for she will only worry, even blame herself. Shay eventually told her mother the truth, but I won't until I buy my mother a home.
After a warm breakfast, we walked back out to our vehicles where I offered them several bags of goodies for their trip. I even told a local client about what they are doing, and she offered a huge bag of fresh oranges from an orange tree in her backyard. Shane's eyes were huge when he saw the bag! But I'd like to tell you the items I got for them to deliver, because even they were surprised at the items, saying they never get paper, pens, even meat from donations. I'll most likely miss a few things, but allow me to list the items and tell you why I chose them.
- single serving cans of whole kernel corn with pop-off lids
pop-off lids require no can opener.
- can openers
so many people donate canned goods, but how do you expect us to open them?
- notebooks and pens
enables us to vent our frustrations, write down ideas, create a journal.
- salmon packets
hearty and filling food, without the mess, yum!
- large spaghettios cans
hearty, filling, tasty and good for you too!
- bandaids
we're more prone to cuts, especially on our feet.
- banana chips
sweet, healthy, and so crunchy they help keep us warm while we eat.
I may be missing a couple items, but the above list is what I can remember. Donating socks, canned beans and veggies, jackets and shoes are awesome, and I thank you for your generosity. But the list above are needed items that most may not even consider when donating. The items I donated to Project 50/50 are actual items I use myself while living in my car in Los Angeles. If I had more money, I would have purchased gloves, scarves, beanies, shoot I would have bought laptops if I could.
To Shay, Shane & Zuzu, I hope you enjoyed our meeting as much as I did. It's great to meet normal people, living a not-so-normal life. Funny how us underdogs are capable of changing the lives of others. Stay Passionate my new friends.

Guest editorial: South Florida Water Management District prepares all year for hurricane season
Editor's Note: The following Guest Editorial was written by a member of the Jupiter area community. This piece addresses the 2013 hurricane season beginning Saturday.
With rain pouring down outside, the South Florida Water Management District's simulated, indoor "Hurricane Freddy" drill this May proved to be more than just a yearly training exercise.
In the Emergency Operations Center, staff from the agency tasked with flood control and managing and protecting the water resources for 7.7 million residents responded to a mock Category 4 hurricane. Yet in the SFWMD Operations Control Center and at field stations, water managers handled a real rainfall event that dropped 6 to 8 inches along portions of Florida's east coast.
Both the actual and simulated storms highlighted the agency's rainy season readiness and emergency response across 16 counties — including Martin, St. Lucie and Palm Beach — that extend from Orlando to the Florida Keys.
The MANAGEMENT
South Florida's annual rainy season typically lasts from June through October, a five-month period that brings 70 percent of the regional rainfall in an average year.
The rainy season may also bring local flooding, which can occur when large amounts of rain fall during a short period of time or from a single heavy storm, tropical system or hurricane.
To manage all this water, the District operates and maintains the regional water management system known as the Central and Southern Florida Project, which was authorized by Congress more than 60 years ago to protect residents and businesses from floods and droughts.
The primary water control system includes:
Nearly 2,000 miles of canals and more than 2,800 miles of levees/berms
645 water control structures and more than 700 culverts
69 pump stations
Nearly 3,500 hydrologic monitoring stations at more than 650 flow sites, including 200 rain gauges and 26 weather stations
Water mangers employ an extensive program of structural maintenance and upgrades that ensures the regional flood control system operates at optimal capacity. Each year, the District invests significantly in essential maintenance work, including hardening and overhauling pump stations, overhauling gated spillways, dredging canals and stabilizing canal banks.
This regional system of canals and natural waterways connects to community drainage districts and hundreds of smaller neighborhood systems to effectively manage stormwater during heavy rain.
As a result of the interconnected drainage system, flood control in South Florida is a shared responsibility between the District, county and city governments, local drainage districts, homeowners associations and residents.
Residents are encouraged to do their part by:
Keeping ditches, swales, drainage grates and retention lakes clear of debris, trash and other discarded material. Knowing whether a nearby canal is a primary canal maintained by the District or a secondary canal maintained by a municipality or drainage district. Reporting the location and condition of any clogged or damaged facilities to the proper authority. Making sure trees or other vegetation do not encroach on canal maintenance right-of-way.
Even with these precautions, complete "flood proofing" is not possible in South Florida given the potential for extreme rainfall from storms.
More tips on how residents can prepare for the rainy season are available on the District's website at www.sfwmd.gov.

See the response from Ohlins USA below. I looked over the installation instructions (see PDF), my best guess after reading them is @4 hours to install the shocks and the new Ohlins ECU that comes with the shocks. The shock kit is $3442 and will be available at the end of March. Let me know if you want to move forward with this project so we can put a deposit down and get the shock kit ordered.
Can you send me yours description? Thank you

That is a new set of tires, an oil change and 3,000 miles worth of gas for the privilege of adjusting them with the push of a button.
I am one-up 99.5% of the time with the only real variables being panniers and luggage full or empty (100# of gear tops), and dirt or pavement.
Am I missing something here? Are there any significant problems going from ESA to the manual adjusters that I might not be considering?

Median pay for Internal Auditing Supervisors in the United States lies in the neighborhood of $75K annually. Men are slightly outnumbered by their female counterparts who answered the questionnaire, who make up a slight majority at 52 percent. Job satisfaction is high and work is enjoyable for most Internal Auditing Supervisors. Most report receiving medical and dental coverage from their employers and a strong majority collect vision insurance. The information for this snapshot was generated by responses to the PayScale salary survey.
Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
An internal auditing supervisor is the person who is responsible for overseeing the internal auditing department within a firm or organization. This position is one that will primarily work in an office, but light travel is sometimes needed for the job. This is a position which requires a bachelor's degree in an area such as accounting, business, finance, or public administration. Some positions may require a master's degree or additional training in auditing practices and principles. An internal audit supervisor will generally keep traditional daytime office hours, though the position may require overtime or extended hours during particular times of the year.Read More...
An internal audit supervisor is seen as a leader within their organization. This position can entail a variety of responsibilities and duties, depending on their organization. However, some common responsibilities associated with the position include overseeing all audit planning, overseeing all audit reporting, preparing audit reports, communicating audit findings and recommendations to management, reviewing all audit paperwork, overseeing all daily activities of relevant staff, training and developing the audit staff, ensuring accommodation and compliance with various legal standards, developing and modifying work methods and procedures, prioritizing work duties and scheduling, distributing work to various staff, and interpreting all legal provisions.
This is a person who must have a deep knowledge and understanding of the auditing system, as well as the ability to explain it in "everyday terms" to persons unfamiliar with the field. This person should possess expert critical thinking and analytical skills, relevant computer skills, and highly proficient communication skills.
Just a handful of professional skills are reported by Internal Auditing Supervisors who took the survey. Those who have experience with Internal Audit, Auditing, and Accounting can expect to be compensated well for these skills. Skills that pay less than market rate include Accounting.

Free fruit for kids
Kids ages 12 and under enjoy a free serving of a fruit or vegetable every time they visit PCC.
Just let the produce staff know what your child would like to try and we'll wash and cut it so it can be eaten while you shop.
Each month, we highlight different fruits and vegetables. Encourage your children to give these items a try and they'll be enjoying a rainbow of produce in no time!
Featured vegetable of the month
Potatoes Add to list
Kid-friendly recipes
Nutrition & fun facts
- The potato is native to Peru, where its cultivation dates back to 200 B. C. Spain brought two plants to Europe in the 16th century, but it didn't catch on in Europe for over a century. In the U.S., the first potato patches were planted in 1719, in New Hampshire.
- Globally, potatoes are the fourth most important crop. Happily, they use much less water to grow than other staples like wheat, rice and corn. While Idaho grows more than other states, Washington is right behind them.
- One medium skin-on potato provides excellent levels of vitamin C and potassium, plus small amounts of B6 and numerous minerals. As a general rule, the vitamins are in the flesh, while the fiber is in the skin.
Featured fruit of the month
Satsumas Add to list
Kid-friendly recipes
Nutrition & fun facts
- There are more than 70 varieties of satsuma, which is native to Japan. They're all nearly seedless, easy to peel and very sweet. Farmers appreciate how cold-resistant the trees are.
- The first U.S. satsuma orchards were planted by Jesuits in Louisiana in the 18th century. They remained uncommon until the early 1920s, when their cultivation spread across the Southeast and eventually to California.
- One average satsuma supplies more than 100 percent of a day's vitamin C requirement. They also offer small amounts of a broad variety of nutrients, particularly folate, thiamin, B6 and calcium.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|1 - 3 nights
(Please note, We have 2 condos available this summer:
2 bedroom, 1150 sq feet sleeps 7: $350 per night
1 bedroom plus den with sofa bed, sleeps 4: $250 per night)
Pool opens May Long Weekend
The following description is for the 2 bedroom 1150 square foot condo:
This spacious 2 bedroom, ground floor condo is the best value for the dollar at Barona Beach Resort! Located on the ground floor, you are but steps away from the beach and the pool! With room for 5 to sleep in the bedrooms, plus a sofabed in the living room that sleeps another 2 people, there is plenty of room to relax and enjoy all the amenities that Barona Beach has to offer. During the day, saunter out to the beach or the pool and go for a dip, and as the day folds into its end, sit on the private beach and enjoy the sunset, before strolling home to sip margaritas on the large outdoor, ground floor patio. (Because the suite is on the ground floor, the patios are twice the size of others on higher floors!) The kids, tired from all the sun and swimming, can enjoy a DVD or one of the movies that Netflix offers on the Apple TV (that is included), while you enjoy a BBQ dinner and sink into the plush, comfortable sofa. Enjoy a glass of wine from the bottle you picked up the day before at the local wineries, Mission Hill and Quail's Gate, that are a few minutes drive down the road from Barona Beach. Discuss with your family the golf game you have planned at one of the local golf courses close by... welcome to holiday heaven!
And by the way, just when you didn't think it could get any better, this secluded, private getaway on the lakefront is a ten minute drive inland to every convenience you could imagine...the Real Canadian Superstore (Loblow's), Winners, WalMart, etc
Description of the 1 bedroom plus den that sleeps 4 ($250 per night July and August):
This ground floor 1 bedroom, and a den unit with 1 bathroom unit is located on the quiet orchard side or the complex. This unit has beautiful dark wood floors and a gourmet Kitchen with granite counters, gas stove and stainless appliances. The deck is perfect for barbeque or a sunny morning breakfast. It comfortable fits a couple or a small family. The unit has a queen size hotel quality bed in the master bedroom and a double sofa bed .The unit is fully equipped with all that you will need including a gas BBQ, 2 flat screen televisions, and desk with Internet. There is one bathroom. This unit comes with one Underground Parking stall.
These units are next door to each other and are both about a 20 second walk to the beach and pool (click on this link to see how close the beach and pool are to our suite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A31yjWg17Oc) however it is extremely peaceful and quiet once you are in both units, as they are far enough away from the pool that you don't hear any of the noise all day. This is an extrememly family friendly development, where the pool and beach are buzzing with activity in the summer. Prepare to make new friends! Meet them at the beach later on in the evening to roast marshmellows in the stone-surround firepit, and if you have a guitar, bring it and siing some camp songs! the kids will love it! The beauty of this unit is that it is close enough to the activity of the pool and beach to be just a short walk away, but far enough away that it is extrememly quiet and calm in the unit itself. Sit on the extra large patio and enjoy your glass of wine while you listlen to the chirping of the birds in the lush line of trees beside the unit.
Key words: barona beach
We are a family of 4 who live in Vancouver. We love to holiday in Kelowna because of the fantastic weather and nice people. We are a fun loving family who love to laugh!
Heidi Carton purchased this condo in 2006
We chose this property because it is right on the beach, and the resort is gorgeous. Our particular suite is very peaceful and quiet, with the pool and beach still only seconds away. Our children have met dozens of other kids that they now look forward to playing with every summer.
This location is fantastic because although it is right on the beach, it is just a 10 minute drive away from all the conveniences you could ever want in shopping. From Superstore, Walmart, Home Depot, huge dollar stores, clothing stores, delis, starbucks, fast food places... the list is endless. So many options for busy vacationers who want options for dinner! Also there is a HUGE play palace close by (behind Walmart) for the kids to blow off steam if they want a break from all the sun and swimming! Not to mention the wineries and golf courses...!
When the 2013 Flood tragically hit Calgary our family was directly effected and had been dealing with the loss of my in-laws house....after days of helping with Flood Clean up and having to cancel a pre arranged family camping trip we were struggling on what to do for a family vacation. When we booked this unit in Barona Beach we didnt exactly know what to expect other than what we saw in pictures. What we found was an amazing place for us to relax and just exhale for 5 days with our two little sons. The unit itself is just wonderful and really is like a home away from home. We immediatley were welcomed with a beautiful clean and well maintained 'home'. We literally had everything at our fingertips and the unit lacked nothing. My boys (aged 2 & 5) loved the bunkbeds and the decor of the place was beautifully and thoughtfully put together. I fell in love with the fully stocked with everything you can think of kitchen - where we cooked healthy dinners and ate on the gorgeous patio. Washer/dryer was a great asset as well - especially with two little ones! We loved the private heated pool/hot tub with the option of going to the private beach - simply amazing! This unit was everything we could have hoped for and more!! Being located very near wineries and with shopping just up the way -- it was just perfect! Being so close to the lake was the best and felt like luxury. I highly reccomend this unit to anyone looking to get away and enjoy a taste of the 'lake life'!! We will definately be back next year but for longer! The owners are simply awesome people who take pride of ownership and are always there in case of anything. We cant thank them enough for giving us an amazing much needed family vacation!
Rebecca & Chris (Calgary AB)
The condo was really lovely, located on the first floor, condo is surrounded by many trees and bushes which makes a nice shade. Condo condition was satisfactory.
Big spacious patio is a huge advantage, we spent most of our time there enjoying BBQ.The location is great, the beach is just minutes away from the condo and the mountain view is breathtaking.
If you have a child in a stroller who cant walk yet (like in our case) you'll find it difficult to find walking path around the condo building.
I would definitely recommend renting out this place if you have a big family who love beach, spending time in a beautiful resort a bit away from downtown Kelowna.
Good weather, good location, good condo. Beds were very comfortable, and we enjoyed having access to all the movies on Netflix. Property is well maintained, amenities are very good. Our family was very happy with Barona Beach in general and the condo itself. Owners were pleasant to deal with and very efficient and organized. Was great to be able to rent a boat slip steps away from our condo.
Fantastic spot to stay! The condo was great, ground level, close to the pool and beach. The private beach is wonderful, and the pool and hot tub were everything you could ask for in a holiday rental. The 2 bedroom condo was great, the bunk beds in the 2nd bedroom were a big hit with the kids. It's so nice to be able to just show up with your bags and have everything you need to live right there at your convenience. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
We stayed at the suite in Barona Beach this past summer for a week in August. To say that it was wonderful is a complete understatement. We have 2 children who played in the pool and on the beach all day, every day that we were there. They made loads of friends and were so tired at the end of each day from all the sun and swimming that they practically passed out in their beds, leaving the adults time to relax with some peace and quiet. The suite itself was perfect for us. It was clean, well furnished, and had everything a family could need for a holiday, right down to the popcorn maker. Most nights we BBQ'd on the grill outside, but the kitchen was well equipped for regular indoor cooking. The kids loved the bunk bed and the fact that there was a second TV in the master bedroom with its own movie selection allowed us to keep everybody happy with entertainment at night time. The mattresses on all the beds were extremely comfortable, and the outdoor deck was nice and big. The location is really great. We went for a big grocery shop at the beginning of our stay, but popping up to the main drag (with its hundreds of stores) to pick up bits and pieces was a breeze. We look forward to staying here again, it had everything we needed in a holiday home.
The owner was a pleasure to deal with. She was very informative and helpful in answering all our questions.
Our stay was relaxing and quiet. Security is a definate bonus as the resort was patrolled by security on regular intervals. There were no annoying neighbours or loud partiers. We were there for Canada Day and were able to enjoy our day without any loud disturbances.
The resort is very family friendly and orientated. Residents and vacationers at the resort were all very respectful to one another. The pool area is well kept along with the rest of the property.
If anyone is looking for a nice quiet getaway this is a great place to stay.
The owners condo was beautiful. It looked exactly like the pictures. Spacious and very well looked after.
I would definately recommend this property to friends and relatives.
Barona Beach resort Condominiums are located along the lakefront of Lake Okanogan, and is situated a few minutes drive from world class wineries and golf courses. Go for a wine tour at Mission Hill or Qual's Gate Winery (to name just a few of the numerous wineries in the area) or plan a golf game at onte of the many golf courses in the area. Barona Beach is secluded from the main town along the beach, yet is it only a 5 minute drive to all the conveniences of the city, such at large grocery store chains, restaurants, bars and retail stores.

DALLAS — Mavericks owner Mark Cuban doesn't expect to hear from the league over his suggestion the Los Angeles Lakers could reduce their salary cap tax by dumping Kobe Bryant through the amnesty clause.
Cuban said before Dallas' game against the Lakers on Sunday he made it clear during a radio interview Friday that he was speaking hypothetically, and he was just trying to use an example to explain new restrictions in the labor agreement.
The Lakers called the remark inappropriate but didn't plan to pursue a complaint.

U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., pledged support for a Manhattan Project National Historical Park that includes Hanford's B Reactor in his new role as chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Re-sources Committee.
The committee has oversight of the National Park Service, making it key to B Reactor's future.
"There is an old saying that those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it," Wyden said after touring the historic reactor Tuesday.
He'll be working with Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., who is chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, which has House oversight of the park service, and also Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, both D-Wash., he said.
Legislation was introduced last year, but failed to pass before the end of the congressional session.
"The last Congress was the first in decades to not pass legislation to protect our special places," Wyden said. "I'm going to work very closely with Chairman Hastings to change that."
While there are concerns among some in Congress about creating a new national park while the nation struggles to keep up those it already has, Wyden said. there may be new ways to attract money for national parks.
He stopped short of endorsing legislation introduced last year in Congress, saying he would have his staff conduct due diligence.
B Reactor was built in 11 months during World War II, when the world's supply of plutonium was about 500 micrograms, enough material to form the head of a single pin.
It was the world's first production-scale reactor, producing plutonium for the world's first nuclear explosion and then the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, helping to end World War II.
The reactor today looks much like it did during WWII, and 10,000 people toured it last year during the limited days DOE tours were available. Those visitors contributed almost $2 million to the Tri-City-area economy, according to figures cited by DOE to the Tri-Cities Visitor and Convention Bureau.
Visitors could increase 10- or 15-fold in the first year a national park is created, the park service has told DOE.
And visitors also could have a better experience at the reactor.
"The park service would bring its unparalleled ability for storytelling," Colleen French, the DOE government affairs program manager, told Wyden.
The proposed legislation considered last year also would allow donations to be collected to spend on preserving Manhattan Project history, including other Hanford sites, French said. That could include what remains of the early farming communities where residents were forced to leave to make way for the secret nuclear reservation during the war.
As the debate about creating a new national park goes forward, there will be people who say it is a bad idea, Wyden said.
"My own view is that history isn't always ideal and that science can be liberated," he said. "And that what we learn over the years is that it is important to look deep into the well of history to get a clearer understanding of what lies ahead."
Wyden's father, historian Peter Wyden, wrote the book Day One, an account of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, and its consequences.
Hanford, along with other Manhattan Project sites in Tennessee and New Mexico, "needs to be preserved so future generations understand what went on here," the senator said.

Philippines expects to get 10 Japanese patrol boats
More News from Fatima Reyes
More News from Agence France-Presse, INQURER.net
MANILA, Philippines—The Philippines said Tuesday it expects to get 10 new Japanese patrol boats within 18 months, as it tries to strengthen its sea defense capabilities amid a deepening territorial row with China.
Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario said the boats were 40-meter (132-foot) vessels to be used by the Philippine coast guard.
"With the approval of Japanese parliament, the boats could be ready by next year," Del Rosario said in a text message.
"All 10 are financed by official development assistance from Japan and are soft loans," he said without specifying the cost of each boat.
DFA spokesman and Assistant Secretary Raul Hernandez has said that Manila asked Tokyo in December for the loan program for 10 patrol boats.
"This is actually to upgrade the equipment of our Philippine Coast Guard for it to be able to do its mandate to monitor our seas, and make sure that there will be no intrusions in our maritime zones," Hernandez said.
The Nikkei, a Japanese business daily, reported on Monday that Japan planned to donate patrol boats costing $11 million each to the Philippines, a move it linked to regional efforts to monitor China's maritime activity.
Japan and the Philippines are embroiled in separate territorial disputes with China.
The Philippines' dispute with China involves overlapping claims to parts of the South China Sea, which is believed to sit above vast amounts of oil and gas.
China claims most of the South China Sea, including waters approaching the coast of the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries.
Tensions between China and the Philippines escalated dramatically in April last year when vessels from both countries became locked in a standoff at Scarborough Shoal, a rich fishing ground.
The shoal is about 230 kilometers (140 miles) west of the Philippines' main island of Luzon. The Philippines says that China has maintained vessels at the shoal to bolster its claim, reneging on an agreement to pull them out.
The Philippines has conceded its poorly equipped navy and coast guard are of little deterrence to China.
Their fleets are made up mostly of ageing, second-hand vessels, many of which date back to World War II.

Our Bureau
Mumbai, March 30
THE Union Minister for SSI, Mr Mahabir Prasad, on Monday said the Government was taking new initiatives to sharpen its focus on the khadi and village industries sector to increase rural employment.
Talking to presspersons here, Mr Prasad said the Sukhtankar Committee, which has been constituted to study and recommend the future structure and role to be played by the erstwhile Khadi and Village Industries Commission, would be submitting its report in a few days. He said the Government's intention was to make khadi and village industries products compete in the global market. "We will also encourage these products getting ISO certifications," he said.
With the help of the `Sphoorti' scheme and other khadi and rural employment generation programmes, the Government expected to create employment opportunities for 4 lakh people and touch an estimated sale of about Rs 13,000 crore, he said.

'Isang' brings relief to parched farms
The coming of tropical depression "Isang," which developed into a storm Wednesday, was a most welcome event in Isabela province. In fact, it must be the first time that a storm has made a community happy.
Parched farmlands in northern Isabela, which experienced limited rainfall in June, were suddenly drenched with rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, said Danilo Tumamao, the provincial agriculturist.
Tumamao said 80,000 hectares of corn fields were wet thoroughly by Isang. About 11,000 hectares of these fields were nearly destroyed by the dry spell, Tumamao said.
But if Isang had brought winds and become stronger, about 70,000 hectares of farmlands would have been destroyed, he said.
Isabela Gov. Faustino Dy III imposed a liquor ban in the province on Tuesday until after the storm had moved away.
Edmund Guzman, Isabela provincial disaster management officer, said the provincial government had sent 100 packs of relief goods to the coastal towns of Dinapigue, Divilacan, Maconacon and Palanan, which are usually isolated when weather disturbances beset the province.
Authorities reported a slight swelling of the Cagayan, Pinacanauan, Magat and Siffu rivers.
Saturnino Tenedor, the Magat Dam instrumentation section chief, said the water elevation at the dam reservoir was 180.75 meters above sea level (Masl) on July 17. The dam's spilling level is at 190 masl.
Based on the weather bureau's outlook for Thursday, the Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, the Cordillera Administrative Region and Aurora province will experience rains and gusty winds with moderate to rough seas.
The rest of Luzon, Western and Central Visayas, Northern Mindanao and the Zamboanga Peninsula will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rainshowers and thunderstorms.
The rest of the country will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, Pagasa said.
Moderate to strong winds blowing from the southwest will prevail over the rest of Luzon and the coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough, it added.
Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the west to southwest with slight to moderate seas, Pagasa said.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Two questions:
Is the eyepatch part of this pack, at all?
Can the eyepatch be used in the standard uniforms?
If either question is no, then I'm not going to buy this.
Cryptic, you want to sell me on costume bits? How about selling costume bits and accessories we can use with the standard uniform models? I know I'm asking for trouble by asking for these as C-Store addons,but I think we're past the point where you'd add anything to the game "as part of the subscription fee".
Off-duty uniforms can take a flying leap for all I care. I only bothered with a "casual wear" costume, but I like my standard uniform much better thank you very much.
At least with Champions (it I actually cared to play it), I didn't have to worry about integrating new costume bits into my old costume because they used the same engine.
I realize this isn't a superhero game but this costume creator is much weaker than the Champions version in how everything is organized.

As of Thursday, August 8, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
It's not every day the average person gets to help someone involved in prostitution and human trafficking.
However, that's exactly what people in the community can do this week during Wellspring Bag Days.
The event goes to support Wellspring Living, which aims to confront the issue of childhood sexual abuse and exploitation through awareness, training and treatment programs.
"A majority of people can't go there in their minds and they assume it's not a real problem," said Chief Development Officer Angela Raub. "But it's a growing problem, especially outside the metro area."
The premise of the event is that customers can come to 2785 Buford Highway, Suite 102-A Thursday through Saturday for a summer clearance like no other.
For $30 (on Thursday), customers can roll, tuck and put into a brown paper bag (provided) all the clothing, purses and belts they can fit. The price goes down to $25 on Friday and $20 on Saturday.
"Last year, the store made $8,000," said Susan Hicock, manager of the store. "We hope to break that record this year. We're trying to get rid of our summer clothes and get ready for fall."
For Hicock, the event takes on an all-too-real approach as some of the women who have been through the program work in the store.
"I can remember one woman telling me this was the first job she had other than prostituting," Hicock said, "and she was 42. When you live where we live, you don't realize it's going on."
And that's just one of the more than 500 women that have gone through the Wellspring program in 12 years.
For Raub, prostitution and human trafficking were something she wasn't as keenly aware of until her daughter returned home from a Passion Conference in which human trafficking was spoken about.
"It affected my daughter hearing the victims of human trafficking speak to everyone," Raub said. "From there, I educated myself more on it and realized how much of a problem it is."
Through various studies, some of the statistics are alarming as to those involved in the business.
"Forty-two percent of sex trafficking in the metro area is north of the perimeter," Hicock said. "Most of the women come from dysfunctional homes with abuse. They watch TV and see ads for big cities. They pack their bags and take a bus to Atlanta.
"And there are pimps stationed at MARTA stations just waiting on unassuming girls. They walk up to them, tell them they're beautiful and take them to dinner. Next thing you know, they can't get away."
However, Raub said it's not just women from bad backgrounds who are trafficked.
"The victim is not always someone from a poor area," she said. "Sex trafficking is non-discriminatory. We've seen women from all walks of life."
Craigslist and other dating sites are some avenues used to advance prostitution and human trafficking.
"They are well-used vehicles," Raub said. "It can start with something completely innocent like doing favors for money. Then it turns into much more."
While it would be impossible to adequately compare the Holocaust to human trafficking, Raub said there are a few disturbing trends between the two.
"For three years, Europe was trying to tell us what was going on and nobody believed them," Raub said. "People said, 'How could someone do that to another human?' Then we saw first-hand how bad it really was. It's the same with human trafficking. Because it's not in your face every day, you don't realize how big of a problem it is. That's why we need this message to get out. We have to be a voice for those who can't speak."
Currently, the center is able to work with 50 women a year, but once a new facility is built, they'll be able to work with 100 women a year.
Hicock said she is proud that 88 cents of every dollar at her store goes to women and their restoration.
"We don't like to call them victims, we like to call them survivors," she said. "We believe there is hope for them. They can leave this all behind."

|Lipid mediators in the development and resolution of experimental lyme arthritis
|Blaho, Victoria Alison
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|The focus of my graduate studies was to determine the contribution of members of the eicosanoid cascade, namely the cyclooxygenase enzymes, to the regulation of experimental Lyme arthritis pathology. Using COX-2-specific inhibitors and knock-out animals, it was determined that COX-2 was not required for the development of Lyme arthritis, but played a prominent role in the resolution of arthritis pathology. Regulation of arthritis resolution by COX-2 was not mediated via alterations in antibody production or an inability to clear Borrelia from arthritic joints. Further pharmacological and knock-out studies found that COX-1 played a regulatory role during development of arthritis by maintaining a check on the developing inflammatory response. At later time points, COX-1 mediated down-regulation of the inflammatory response. The differential contribution of the COX isozymes to arthritis pathology during infection with B. burgdorferi lead to the characterization of a previously unappreciated role for COX-1 in the regulation of B lymphocyte responses and pathogen-specific antibody production using isozymes-specific inhibitors and COX-1 and -2 gene knock-out animals. Finally, the role of LTB4 in regulation of Lyme arthritis pathology was investigated using a BLT1-specific antagonist, and it was found that LTB4 may play a previously undescribed role in mediating the down-regulation of the inflammatory response to B. burgdorferi.

The Away Team - Terrorist Attack
Artist: The Away Team
Producer: Khrysis
Album: 20/20 Music
Avg Rating: 2.8 ( 9 votes )
Ouick, cover your ears with duct tape and plastic wrap! The DJBooth.net Department of Homeland Security has received word that North Carolina-based extremist cell The Away Team are preparing to strike via the headphones of unsuspecting hip-hop lovers. The fifth exclusive world premiere in DJBooth.net and Event Electronics' 20/20 Music series, this album outtake is perhaps the dopest Terrorist Attack ever perpetrated on U.S. Soil. Khrysis goes heavy on the samples, layer snippets of a (slightly too muffled to recognize) soul classic with a street-certified rhythm section and topping it all off with a vocal snippet from Royce Da 5'9's Warriors ("Compare us to the Arabs, this a terrorist attack!"). This time, however, the First in Flight State beatsmith/rapper isn't satisfied chilling out behind the boards—Khrysis opens proceedings with an aggressive opening 16, which partner-in-rhyme Sean Boog follows with an even grimier second verse. While this joint didn't make it onto the duo's album, fans can hear more where this came from on the crew's just-released Scars & Stripes LP. In addition, keep it locked for 15 more DJBooth exclusives leading up to the arrival of Event's 20/20 Music compilation.

Minnesotans think Coleman should concede, KSTP polls says
Categories: Franken vs. Coleman
Al Franken might be looking like a winner in the Minnesota U.S. Senate race, but that doesn't mean he is well liked. Minnesotans seem pretty fed up with Norm Coleman just the same. Can we have a redo with some other candidates, please?
A KSTP Survey USA poll released yesterday shows some interesting data on what Minnesotans think about the recount and current election challenge.
Nearly half of Minnesotans disagree with Norm Coleman's decision to contest the election, while 42 percent agree. About 44 percent think Coleman should concede, while 31 percent wish we could have another election altogether.
A majority of Minnesotans, 56 percent, found the recount to be fair to both candidates. About 31 percent, mostly Republicans, believe the recount was unfair to Coleman.
Watch the full KSTP report here:
The poll didn't have any good news for Franken either. Both are losing support of the state. On election night, each candidate received 42 percent of the votes. Only 38 percent of Minnesotans surveyed said they view Coleman favorably. 44 percent have an unfavorable view. Franken scored similarly with 37 percent favorable and 45 percent unfavorable.

Cowboys To Watch
The 2012-13 Oklahoma State wrestling roster is headlined by an NCAA champion, two-time NCAA finalist and three-time All-American in Jordan Oliver, an NCAA finalist in Tyler Caldwell and an NCAA third-place finisher in Chris Perry. Rounding out OSU's group of returning All-Americans is Alan Gelogaev, who was positioned to make a run at an NCAA title last season before sustaining a season-ending injury late last year.
Oliver Makes the Move
After winning the 2011 NCAA title and three career All-America honors at 133 pounds, senior Jordan Oliver now wrestles at 149 pounds. The move puts Oliver at a weight class that is more natural for him and was borne in part out of Oliver's desire to compete at 145 pounds on the international freestyle level.
Oliver's 2012 Olympic Experience
Jordan Oliver spent the summer of 2012 as a training partner for Olympic bronze medalist (and current OSU volunteer assistant) Coleman Scott. Oliver was embedded with Team USA as it prepared for the Olympics in Colorado clear through the London games.
Caldwell Knows Bedlam
Cowboy junior Tyler Caldwell is a rare breed in that he has worn the colors of both Oklahoma State and its traditional in-state rival, Oklahoma. Caldwell was a two-time All-American and 2011 NCAA finalist for the Sooners before taking an Olympic redshirt during the 2011-12 season. Following that season away, he made the decision to enroll at Oklahoma State. Should he earn All-America status at OSU, he would become the first wrestler since Dave Schultz to be an All-American for both Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Schultz placed third at the 1978 NCAA Championships wrestling for the Cowboys, then went on to earn a pair of All-America honors for the Sooners in 1981 and 1982, respectively.
Perry's In Position
Coming off a season that saw him pick up his second Big 12 championship in as many tries and a third-place finish at the NCAA Championships, Chris Perry is among the favorites to win the NCAA 174-pound title this year. In fact, Perry was the only wrestler on the OSU roster to be ranked No. 1 in the nation at his respective weight class entering this season.
Pin Pals
Each year, the Schalles Award is presented to the nation's most prolific pinner. There is a college version of it and a high school version of it and in 2012, Oklahoma State swept both divisions. Jordan Oliver won the collegiate Schalles Award by pinning 18 opponents and Jordan Rogers won the high school version after pinning all 42 of his opponents during his senior season at Mead HS in Spokane, Wash.
ASICS All-Americans Live Here
There are four different wrestlers on this year's Oklahoma State roster who were ASICS first-team All-Americans during their prep days:
Jordan Oliver 2006
Chris Perry 2009
Josh Kindig 2010
Jordan Rogers 2012
Fargo Champs, Too
There are five different wrestlers on this year's Oklahoma State wrestling roster who won titles at the ASICS Junior Freestyle National Championships in Fargo, N.D. during their prep days:
Jon Morrison 2007
Jordan Oliver 2007
Chris Perry 2008
Alex Dieringer 2011
Jordan Rogers 2011
Wrestling With Degree In Hand
Cowboy 184-pounder Chris Chionuma has already earned his undergraduate degree in education and is now working on a post-graduate degree. He is the only member of OSU roster who already has his degree.
Signing Day Recap
Oklahoma State announced the signing of five wrestlers during the 2012 early signing period. The class is headlined by a pair of wrestlers ranked No. 1 in the nation in their respective weight classes in 152-pounder Anthony Collica (Solon, Ohio/Solon) and 132-pounder Dean Heil (Strongsville, Ohio/St. Edward). Three-time Oklahoma high school state champion Davey Dolan (Berryhill, Okla./Berryhill) and three-time Kansas high school state champion Zac Gentzler are joined by two-time Oklahoma state runner-up Eli Hale in rounding out the class.
Coached by the Best
Members of the Oklahoma State wrestling staff combine for eight world championships, three Olympic gold medals, an Olympic silver and an Olympic bronze. They also combine for eight NCAA championships and 17 All-America honors. The breakdown:
Olympic Medalists
John Smith 1988 and 1992 Gold
Kenny Monday 1988 Gold and 1992 Silver
Coleman Scott 2012 Bronze
Senior World Championships Medalists
John Smith 1987, 1989, 1990 and 1991 Gold

Portugal's Unemployment Rate Increases to Euro-Era Record 15%
Aug. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Portugal's jobless rate rose to a euro-era record 15 percent in the three months through June as the country's economy contracted for a seventh quarter.
The unemployment rate increased from 14.9 percent in the first three months and 12.1 percent in the second quarter of 2011, the Lisbon-based National Statistics Institute said today in an e-mailed statement.
The government forecasts unemployment will increase to 15.5 percent for all of 2012 and to 15.9 percent in 2013.

Taliban poison attack on Kabul girls school
By JON BOONE - GUARDIAN
Added: Thu, 26 Aug 2010 11:34:35 UTC
When the order came to evacuate the Totia high school, hundreds of girls ran from their desks clutching handkerchiefs and their headscarves over their mouths. School bags were abandoned as some leapt out of the ground floor windows of their dilapidated two-storey school block rather than trying to push their way through a melee of teenage girls all rushing to get out to fresh air.
Teachers tried to organise an orderly departure but their efforts were in vain amid rising panic that the school had become the latest in Afghanistan to be hit by an apparent poison gas attack.
A total of 46 students and nine teachers were treated in hospital after what Mohammad Asif Nang, an official at the education ministry, described as "an apparent poisoning" attack by "the enemies of women's education".

Posts from Italian
Recipe: Mushroom and Leek Risotto
Recipes from The Kitchn
I've been craving a nice, hearty risotto for a while. With the cold and wet weather recently, I decided this week would be a good time for this type of dish. I had it in my mind that I wanted to make something with mushrooms and leeks. I wanted it to be savory and woodsy, encompassing the flavors of fall. I have a collection of nice dried mushrooms waiting to be used; some chanterelles picked by friends, and some dried porcinis that I picked with my mushroom picking club. The result: savory, warming risotto, with mushrooms and leeks.
Scenes from a Venetian Market: Fondi di Carciofo (Artichoke Ends)
Last night at a little bar in Venice, Italy, we snacked on rounds of artichoke bottoms, soaked in oil and marinated in spices. Tender and cool, they were a lovely start to a meal — flavorful and not too filling. Today I saw how these things are sold: by the half dozen, bobbing in water at the market!
Late Summer Recipe: Caprese Salad
Recipes from The Kitchn
Ahh, one of our favorite dishes in the summer; fresh tomatoes, buffala mozzarella, and fresh basil layered together, and then drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper.
Recipe: Eggplant Caponata Sandwiches with Mozzarella & Basil
Recipes from The Kitchn
This is one of those versatile recipes that can serve more than one purpose — dip, sandwich filling, pasta sauce — and it makes use of all those beautiful eggplants that are in season...
Best of Both Worlds: A Method for Making Better Whole-Grain Risotto
Making risotto with whole grains like farro, barley or quinoa instead of arborio rice can result in a dish with interesting textures and great flavor, but it usually lacks the creaminess that traditional risotto is known for. Martha Rose Shulman of the New York Times has a smart method for making creamy whole-grain risottos that combine the best of both worlds.
Recipe: Chicken & Artichokes in Wine Sauce
Recipes from The Kitchn
When I was a kid, my mother took a cooking class with Giuliano Bugialli and learned how to make this dish. It tastes so rich and divine that you'd never suspect it's so economical and quick to make! She'd let me request a special meal for my birthday, and I often requested this dish.
Recipe: Penne alla Vodka
Recipes from The Kitchn
I have been a carb lover since birth. My parents started calling me "starch baby" after discovering my knack for sneaking Wonder Bread from the pantry, and the nickname has continually proven true. I fell for Italian food—namely pasta—upon first bite and spent most of my formative years choosing between lasagna, chicken parmesan, or broccoli alfredo.
How To Make Perfect Pesto Every Time
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
It's always tempting to eat pesto by the spoonful. It's so very fresh and so very green. And those flavors of basil, pine nut, parmesan, garlic, and olive oil just play so very nicely together. Spread it on sandwiches, toss it with pasta, or yes, treat yourself a single happy spoonful, but definitely absolutely positively make pesto any chance you get.
Fresh Summer Salad: Raw Baby Artichokes with Lemon, Olives, and Cheese
Grub Street
If you're lucky enough to find baby artichokes at the farmers' market, why not serve them the Italian way: raw. Lightly toss with lemon juice and combine them with salty olives, tender purslane (or baby spinach), and feta cheese. What results is a European-style light and positively un-boring summer salad!
Easy Recipe: Classic Margherita Pizza
Recipes from The Kitchn
Sometimes the simplest ingredients, combined in the simplest of ways, have the power to stop time, erase your woes, and transport you to a place of nirvana-like bliss. Such is the power of the margherita pizza. Fresh tomato sauce, chewy mozzarella cheese, a sprinkling of basil on a crispy crust? I wouldn't be surprised if you started levitating.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
The cozy cottage has a living room with French doors to a private terrace. From the terrace, sitting in the comfortable chairs you have a beautiful view over the meadows and ditches of Waterland. The cottage is 60 meters from the lake 'IJsselmeer'.
Enjoy the quietness of the countryside, with booming Amsterdam at hand. Only 15 minutes driving from the centre of Amsterdam, you will find the picturesque fishing village Durgerdam. Typically Dutch wooden houses, polders, sheep, smalll wooden bridges and water are the scenery of Waterland.
The cottage offers you all facilities you could wish for: separate access, private bathroom, kitschen, tv, dvd player, internet access, refrigerator and coffeemaker. The cottage has 2 bedrooms. De big bedroom has a double bed and the smaller bedroom has bunkbeds.
Weather permitting you can enjoy your own terras, take a walk or cycle tour. Ample free parking space; public transport to and from Amsterdam available. There are two bikes belonging to the cottage
In a nutshell, if you are driving to Amsterdam and want to be close in but feel like you are far from the noise of the city, nothing beats this place! You start your day with an easy drive to a park and ride lot where you are wisked into charming Amsterdam. In just 15 minutes, you travel from the lot where you can park your car for free all day and night to Centraal Station! Then at the end of your busy day in Amsterdam, you get to watch the sunset on your own private deck overlooking a pasture where you can expect occasional visits from all manner of birds and even cows. Durgerdam itself is very picturesque and merits a stroll along the waterfront. And the apartment was super clean and very comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen, spacious bath, and comfortable beds. Our family of two adults, 17 year old son, and 11 year old daughter simply loved it! And Anneke was wonderful. She was even kind enough to mail me a jacket I had forgotten in the apartment. There is no doubt in my mind that we look her up the next time we are in Amsterdam and now wish we had decided to stay there longer when we forst planned our trip. Thank you, Anneke!
The setting was perfect- away from the fast city pace of Amsterdam,
but close enough to access Amsterdam easily via public transportation or bikes - we used them every day. The description describes the cottage well, it was very clean, cozy and had everything and more that we needed ( 2 bikes included) . "Customer Service" was exceptional, thanks to the warmth and friendliness of the owner, as well as all other dutch people we met - felt we could ask for anything we needed. Information ( maps etc.) was provided for the local area as well as for other parts of Holland. We would highly recommend this property - it even had a protected "bird" area out the front window. Really cute town!
We stayed in this lovely 'quaint' cottage for a fortnight, and had two full weeks of total relaxation, peace and quiet.
The owner was there when we arrived, greeting us with a warm Dutch welcome. Nothing was too much trouble throughout our stay, even when the kids forgot the key, she was more than happy to give them the spare!
The cottage itself is compact, although it comfortably accommodated us as a family of four.
It was clean and warm, with everything provided, including fresh linen & towels. All of which added to the 'home from home' feel.
We felt right at home sitting outside looking over the fields with the ongoing wildlife.
The cottage is around a 20 minute cycle ride to Amsterdam central, two bicycles are provided by the owner, which was perfect.
The cottage is also situated a few minutes drive from the major highway, (although you don't see or hear it), and we found it very easy to catch trams/buses just down the road.
There is a lovely organic supermarket nearby, selling excellent local fresh produce, (fruit, meat and bread!) perfect for eating in or small snacks.
We highly reccommend this cottage to anyone that enjoys a rural location, with the added bonus of being only a few miles away from city life.
We will definatley be returning to this hidden treasure!
My partner and I stayed here for a week and tho the apartment was small It was clean and tidy and had all the things for the outdoor person, Bikes, Fishing, Walking, Birdwatching. The owner of this apartment was very nice and helpful and could not do enough for us even washing our clothes (No Washing Machine in apartment) All in all I would go back to Durgerdam and stay here in a heartbeat.
Wir (2 Erwachsene, 2 Teens) haben ein hübsches kleines Hau,s mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht, vorgefunden. Wir sind mit der Bahn an einem Samstag angereist, hatten aber nicht bedacht, dass am Wochenende kein Bus fährt. Aber Anneke war so nett und hat uns von der Tram-Station mit dem Auto abgeholt. An Wochentagen fährt der Bus alle Stunde und man erreicht den Hauptbahnhof in ca. 35 Min. Flexibler ist man allerdings, wenn man mit dem Fahrrad zur Tram (ca. 2,5 km) fährt. Da kann man auf dem Weg noch in dem netten Landmarkt einkaufen gehen.
Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit. Wir können die Unterkunft nur wärmstens weiter empfehlen.

Anaphylaxis is a severe systemic allergic response that is rapid in onset and potentially lethal, and that typically is induced by an otherwise innocuous substance. In IgE-dependent and other examples of anaphylaxis, tissue mast cells and circulating basophilic granulocytes (basophils) are thought to represent major (if not the major) sources of the biologically active mediators that contribute to the pathology and, in unfortunate individuals, fatal outcome, of anaphylaxis. In this chapter, we will describe the mechanisms of mast cell (and basophil) activation in anaphylaxis, with a focus on IgE-dependent activation, which is thought to be responsible for most examples of antigen-induced anaphylaxis in humans. We will also discuss the use of mouse models to investigate the mechanisms that can contribute to anaphylaxis in that species in vivo, and the relevance of such mouse studies to human anaphylaxis.
