Talk about nightmares: The owner of a house that he'd been renting out had a close call recently when an inspection revealed that the place had been rigged to blow up when a light switch was flipped. Because that kind of intricate wiring isn't a mistake, police are now investigating. [More]
Owner Finds His Rental Home Has Been Rigged To Explode At The Flip Of A Switch
Man Desperate To Sell Home Will Accept An iPhone 6 For It
With a house languishing on the market in Detroit, one homeowner who claims he paid way too much in 2010 — $41,000 — is so desperate to unload the property, he's willing to give it up for a song. Let me clarify: This "song" comes in a white box and makes phone calls, connects to the Internet… Okay, it's an iPhone 6, and that's all he's asking for. [More]
Supreme Court Sides With Homeowner: Just Because It Floats Doesn't Mean It's A Boat
It's always fun when judges get a bit creative in how they phrase decisions, and in the case of a fight over whether a floating home counts as a boat, and would therefore be regulated under federal admiralty laws, the U.S. Supreme Court got pretty sassy. The court sided with the owner of a floating home, saying just because it floats, doesn't make it a boat. [More]
Texan Refuses To Evacuate Home Close To Wildfire
When authorities advise you to abandon your home to flee an oncoming natural disaster, things tend to not work out so well if you stick around. But a defiant Texas man is taking his chances, standing pat at his house even though a raging wildfire is encroaching on his property. [More]
Man Who Torched Car To Save Home Ends Up In Court
A Utah man had a bold plan, which we told you about last year. His house was going into foreclosure unless he could come up with $21,638.02 to pay HSBC. So he announced to the world that he would burn his car and post the video online in exchange for donations. He raised about $15,000 and even sold $1,200 worth of advertising on the side of the car. He tried to work with local fire departments to get them to let him burn the car, to no avail. So he did it on public land and now he's in court and getting fined, reports KSL. [More]

Whopping 11% Of US Homes Are Empty
The vacancy sign is blazing over house divisions across the US. About 1 in 10 houses in America have no one living inside them, according to new data from the Census, CNBC reports. (Update: while technically correct, this number includes other kinds of properties like abandoned farm house. The more typically used number, the home-vacancy rate, is 2.7%, up from 2.5% the previous quarter). [More]
Developers Spiking Homeowner Contracts With Hidden Resale Fee Covenants
Last April, Techdirt pointed out that a financial firm in Texas was trying to attach "private transfer fees" to homes, so that developers would get a little bit of each sale as it passed among owners in the years to come. It sounded crazy then–imagine having to pay royalties on clothes or furniture whenever you resold them–but the firm is aggressively expanding its plan and has signed up more than 5,000 developers across the country, reports the New York Times. If you buy a new house in the next decade, look for a "resale fee" covenant hidden in a separate document that might not be included in your closing papers or even require a signature. [More]
Couple Says Real Estate Agent Used Their Home For Sex
Earlier this month, a couple in Minnesota filed a lawsuit against a local Coldwell Banker franchise and a real estate agent the company employed, alleging that the agent used the home for sexcapades while they were out of town, ruining their furniture, bedding and carpet. Neighbors say he showed up one day with an unidentified man and said they were going to be preparing the home for an open house, but no open house was held. Or at least not one the neighbors could see; maybe he uses that phrase in a different way. [More]
Bank Of America Is Having A Hard Time Accepting This Whole Death Thing
Dave can't get Bank of America to accept that his parents are gone, even after sending over the death certificates. He keeps telling the bank to take the house, because nobody in his family wants it and the mortgage is underwater. Bank of America keeps threatening his parents with letters about how behind they are on payments. Oh sure, everything about this story is funny on the surface, but not when Bank of America tries to extract money from a closed account you once shared with your dad, forcing it to re-open and siphon funds from your real accounts.

Mr. Rooter Plumbing Job Quoted At $300 But Ends Up Costing $25,000
Dave and his wife came into some money and decided it was time to get a professional out to solve their slow draining toilet problems once and for all. Mr. Rooter showed up, and in less than a week the company managed to also solve Dave's "I just came into some money" problem, by taking all of it. The problem is, Dave isn't sure that any of the expensive extra work was necessary now that he can see the pipes. [More]
Man Offers To Set Car On Fire To Save Home From HSBC Foreclosure
John admits on his blog that he's responsible for falling six months behind on his mortgage. But once he got over his divorce and losing his adopted son and started trying to make things right, he ended up in loan modification limbo at HSBC. The bank never moved forward on any modification, and now he has to pay $21,638.02 today if he wants to keep his house. Logically, he's offering to burn his car and post the video online in return for donations. [More]

Half-A-Dozen Companies Knew About Tainted Drywall, But Stayed Mum And Kept Selling It

I Like Smelling Farts, Chinese Drywall Distributor Tells Court
Do you like farts? Documents and depositions unearthed by ProPublica and the Sarasota Harold-Tribune show exchanges between homebuilder WCI Communities and drywall distributor Banner that reveal the sulfur-emitting drywall problem was known as far back as 2006, and yet customers and authorities were not notified. In one deposition, a Banner executive refuses to admit that sulfur-stinking drywall might bother others, seeing as he himself, on certain occasions, enjoys the sweet aroma of another man's butt gas: [More]
Man Seals Self Inside Foreclosed Home
Now we finally understand the secrets of the pharoahs: a bunch of angry people in Stony Ridge, Ohio have sealed up a home with the homeowner inside, with his permission, leaving only a golf ball-sized hole in the front door. The man, Keith Sadler, says he fell behind last year after paying on his mortgage for 12 years, and that his bank promised to work with him but instead proceeded with foreclosure. [More]
Is The Guy Who Bulldozed His Home A Folk Hero?
Terry Hoskins, the guy in Ohio who bulldozed his home earlier this month to prevent it from being taken back and auctioned off by his bank, is now the subject of a song. Someone else made t-shirts and caps–they feature a bright yellow bulldozer and the words, "Take 'Er Down"–that are being sold to raise money for him. WLWT says Hoskins didn't break any laws by dozing the home, but as he puts it, "I still have a mortgage of ($160,000). I still (have) to pay that." [More]

Largest study to date finds no difference in heart attack or mortality rates
SUNDAY, Nov. 4 (HealthDay News) -- In the largest study of its kind to date, Harvard researchers report that they have found drug-eluting stents pose no more risk of heart attack or death than bare metal stents do.
"There has been a long debate about the safety of drug-eluting stents," said lead investigator Dr. Laura Mauri, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham & Women's Hospital, in Boston. "It was very reassuring to see that there was not an increased rate of death or heart attack."
Mauri presented the findings during a news conference Sunday at the American Heart Association annual meeting in Orlando, Fla.
People who have blocked heart arteries often undergo a procedure called angioplasty, or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A small tube called a catheter is inserted into the blood vessel, then a balloon on the tip of the catheter is inflated to open the blockage and restore blood flow. Typically, a stent, or tiny wire scaffold, is also inserted to keep the vessel open. However, stents carry the risk of blood clots forming within them -- a potentially dangerous condition called stent thrombosis.
It's clear that drug-eluting stents reduce the probability that a patient will need to undergo a repeat procedure within a year. However, there has been heightened concern in the medical community in the past year that coated stents seem to raise the risk of thrombosis.
"Drug-eluting stets reduced the need for revascularization procedures," Mauri said. "What's not clear is what are the long-term consequences of placing a drug-eluting stent versus a bare metal stent in a general population."
This trial took advantage of a statewide registry of people undergoing PCI procedures in Massachusetts.
"In Massachusetts, all patients who undergo stenting procedures, b

Bow Wow ft. Lloyd Banks - Yeah Yeah
Artist: Bow Wow
Featuring: Lloyd Banks
Producer: Nottz
Album: Underrated
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 12 votes )
Originally scheduled for release in December 2011, Bow Wow's long-awaited YMCMB debut currently resides in drop date-less limbo. To reassure us that it hasn't fallen by the wayside, however, the emcee has returned with Yeah Yeah, a freshly-leaked cut which finds him trading bars with G-Unit rhymesayer Lloyd Banks over the laid-back street boardwork of Nottz. Is this joint appealing enough to get Understated back on track for release? Debate away—and, as always, keep it locked for the latest details.

Ogwumike, Toliver lead Sparks past Lynx
"We've just got to make plays," Augustus said. "That's what it was all about coming to the end of the fourth quarter. They crashed the glass. Nneka did a great job getting on the boards, and we didn't. That's the difference in the game - them getting the loose balls, the extra offensive possessions, and we didn't have those."
Parker helped L.A. wake up from a slow start to take a 35-31 lead into the break. She hit a turnaround jumper, another jumper off a pick-and-roll and made a long stretch pass to Alana Beard to complete a 13-4 run in the second quarter.
Minnesota called timeout twice but scored only 10 points in the second quarter, on 4-for-19 shooting. The Lynx shot 50 percent in the first quarter while L.A. missed 12 of its first 18 shots.

Winter under a tarp

Re: Winter under a tarp
This year I'm trying a slightly new system that I thought I'd share. So in years past I've relied primarily on weights but have also put one or two lines wrapped under the keel of the boat. However these lines never remain in tension.
So this year I'm trying a weight and a pulley to keep those lines under tension. I used 4 of them. The lines in the bow and stern are nice because they pull in all the excess tarp and leave less of a wind target.
All the anchor points are golf balls with slipped bowlines constricting around them. I'm a bit concerned about chafe on the lines running under the boat, I've seen it in the past, so I added a back-up line for the weight on the pulley line in-case it fails.
My frame is just two sawhorses (one tall one over the cockpit and another on the deck) with strapping boards running between them. I did a better job anchoring the sawhorses because last year they toppled in a wind storm (although the tarp remained intact).

Southern Baptists Plot to Influence Presidential Election
Brian Kaylor at Ethics Daily has been keeping an eye on televangelist James Robison and his cabal of Religious Right leaders who are organizing to influence the 2012 U.S. presidential election. Robison clothes his political organizing in the piety of a prayer meeting but you can be sure that the outcome will have more to do with power politics than with a spiritual revival.
Robinson listed the participants at his "Supernatural Gathering" on his blog. The names of the Southern Baptists on the list reads like a "Who's Who" from the days of the fundamentalist takeover of the SBC:
Jim and Jane Hylton, Jim Hylton Ministries, Fort Worth, TX
Dr. Robert Jeffress, First Baptist Church, Dallas, TX
Dr. Richard Land, SBC's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission
John Meador, First Baptist Church, Euless,TX
Paige Patterson, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, TX
Gary Phillips, Executive Pastor, First Baptist Church, Euless, TX
Bob Reccord, Council for National Policy, Washington, DC
Bob Roberts, Northwood Church, Keller, TX
Jack Graham of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, TX and O.S. Hawkins of the SBC's Guidestone Financial Resources helped initiate the meeting but were unable to attend.

My wife and I left the Baptist church ten years ago due to the fundamentalist drift of the SBC. While now members of the United Methodist Church, we firmly support CBF and BGCT. We continue to closely follow "moderate" Baptist activities. I continue to be frustrated by some SBC leaders who seem to think they own the Republican party. But, I am also frustrated by many so-called moderate Baptist voices, like Ethics Daily, who clearly support the policies of the political left while attacking more fundamentalist Baptists for supporting the political right.
While the social gospel is certainly an important part of Christ's teaching, let's not "muddy it up" by inserting a political agenda into it.
As the bumper sticker says, "God is not a Republican or a Democrat."

Good template
Easy to adapt and go live!
Reviewer: newdesigner2015
Review on 48334
The template has most amazing css and graphic design features that one can take months to put together. The three most important factors we choose it was because it had cool animation effects like on top navigation, predictive search and cool product zoom. I am not a developer and wanted something quickly and did not want to hire a lot of resource on it. We wanted to use it for a home and garden company that specialises in homeware products. I am doing the website for a customer and they seem to have very much liked the design. The site is still in beta so not able to provide the url as of now. As we are having to add performance improvements. With all the design CSS and JS it has made the site a but too slow for Configurable products pages and categories containing the Configurable products. The designs can go through a page loading test as we realised after implementing it fully that the site is unusable with the speed we were getting even on server with good configuration of 8gb ram. Customer Services of Template Monster is quite good and I look forward to using their products and services in future.

As many of you are aware of nintendo is suppose to be making an announcement tonite or tommorrow regarding a new or revised nintendo DS. My understanding is that it will most likely bring the DS in more sales and possibly give better graphics, and create a better casual portable gaming standard.
If this is true and Nintendo does create somthing new and big! my guess is that Sony's PSP 3000 release comming soon this year may be left in the dust after a few months. Does this mean a perfect time for Sony to be readying a PSP 2 Release for the summer?
To me this would make perfect sense. Just as nintendo has come out with a new DS sony stricks back with something NEW of its own. We all know that sonys PSP sales are slowing everywhere except for Japan and Developers are starting to leave if not already left the Platform. Well if i was sony I would be ready to release a PSP 2 in the 2009 summer to try to create a spark in their portable gaming platform and possible catch up if not compete with the DS.
I am very open to anyones comments on this an I look forward to reading what you have to say.
Hey check this leaked footage out! who ever this is, is one lucky fellow!
PSP-3000 Is Real, FCC Filing Surfaces
Surprise, surprise. An FCC listing has confirmed that Sony is indeed working on the eternally-rumored PSP-3000. There are no details yet, as Sony has made a request for confidentiality regarding the particulars of the unit. That being said, we cant say with complete confidence that this confirms the authenticity of the previously leaked photos.

In Sarawa village of Uttar Pradesh, now infamous for alleged rape and forced religious conversion of a 20-year-old student, a steady stream of villagers was cycling on a meandering road. However, the prevalent peace in the village, tucked in middle of sugarcane fields, is prone to get punctured due to external influences. It is reflected from selected migration of women and children of Muslim community to safer areas in wake of the incident. The houses are locked with most of the men living in groups these days.
Even though majority of villagers refuse to fell pray to divisive rumor-mongers, they are anxious about the visits made by outsiders and developments taking place outside the village.
"Some incident may have taken place, but whole community cannot be punished for wrong doing of an individual or a group," said Harsharan Tyagi, 92, who claims that even in 1947, when communal violence was order of the day, only one person was killed in this village and he was an alleged thief. Tyagi, lives near Jama Masjid of the village located in front of the big temple. A few meters away lives Shanti Devi, 80, who was married in this village almost 65 years ago. "There is no problem between Hindus and Muslims. When two communities live together for so long, some aberrations are bound to take place. It cannot be used to paint the whole community as villain," Shanti told dna. She claims that she tried to stop some Muslim women and persuade them to not leave the village.
Earlier this week, BJP's UP chief Laxmikant Bajpai while referring to the incident had stated that there was definitely communal angle in this incident. Also, party's MLA Sangeet Som, one of the main accused in the Muzaffarnagar riots case that took place in September last, had mentioned that he would visit the village to take stock of the situation.
The village, a hamlet of squalid single or double-storeyed houses, as per the rough estimates has 55% Hindus and 45% Muslims. Most of the people depend on sugarcane farming and dailywage jobs outside the village.There are three madrasas, eight masjids, seven temples and one Eidgah in the village, nearly 90 kms from Delhi.
"We switch off our loudspeakers if Muslims have to say azaan and they switch off their loudspeaker if it is bhajan time," adds, Ravi, another local resident.
However, sustained communal flareups and subsequent acrimonious political explanations in wake of the incident has ingrained fear among locals. Besides, the presence of almost 100 police personnel including rapid action force patrolling in and outside the village for 24 hours since the incident came on light on August 3, has created an uneasiness in the village.
Since the incident was reported, political leaders from various political parties have visited the house of victim, who is currently at a specialized hospital in Ghaziabad. One of the state BJP members, Vineet Aggarwal gave Rs25,000 cash to the family of the victim on Thursday.
"We are scared. We fear that people from outside may hurt our families," said Shakeel Ahmed, whose family members has also moved out of the village.
Another delegation of local BJP and RSS members visited the house and were repeatedly mentioning Muzaffarnagar riots and 'persecution of Hindus.' Some incidents of minor stone-pelting and vicious sloganeering were also reported to police, which was tackled immediately.
The family as of now claims to be contend with the police investigations. "These criminals should be hanged. I want justice. But the issue should not be politicized," said mother of the victim, who has become weak and mostly lies on the cot through out the day.
The police as of now has arrested five people in the case including Pradhan of the village, Nawab Khan and are looking for Sanaullah, who allegedly has mainly conspired to convert the victim. The transvaginal ultrasound scan test of the victim would be conducted soon.
"I want justice. I was caught in a vicious circle," the victim, admitted at ICU of Ghaziabad hospital told dna. She was weak and couldn't turn sides on the bed on her own.

Motorcyclist who died in crash was El Cajon man
SAN DIEGO: A man who died in a motorcycle crash Wednesday in El Cajon has been identified as Lance Michael Hagerty.
Hagerty, 37, was killed when his motorcycle rear-ended a pickup as it was attempting to turn into a driveway about 5 p.m. on West Bradley Avenue near Wing Avenue in El Cajon, according to the county Medical Examiner's Office. He lived and worked in El Cajon.
Hagerty, who was wearing a helmet, was riding a newer-model sport bike, El Cajon police said. He was taken to a hospital, where he died.
Westbound traffic on Bradley was diverted for about five hours as investigators examined the scene, police said. The pickup driver was not hurt. –K.K.
Blaze prompts evacuation of Carlsbad businesses
CARLSBAD: More than 50 lunchtime patrons were evacuated from two businesses, including a landmark meat store/restaurant, during a fire yesterday, authorities said.
The fire was reported about 11:40 a.m. in a single-story building on Paseo del Norte near Palomar Airport Road that houses Tip Top Meats and Carlsbad Ranch Market, said Battalion Chief Mike Davis of the Carlsbad Fire Department. Davis said the fire began in a storage area at the back of the market.
The fire did not reach Tip Top Meats, but about 50 to 60 patrons were evacuated from both businesses, Davis said. Tip Top Meats reopened for business about 45 minutes later, he said.
Twenty-two firefighters had the blaze under control in about 10 minutes.
Davis estimated damage to the structure at about $10,000. –S.S.
11-year sentence for man who hit, killed bicyclist
EAST COUNTY COURTS: A man convicted of running down and killing a bicyclist in Alpine was sentenced yesterday to 11 years in prison.
Travis Chris Weber, 44, pleaded guilty May 26 to gross vehicular manslaughter involving alcohol in connection with the death of Edward Costa, 30, of Alpine. Weber also admitted to an allegation of hit-and-run causing death.
El Cajon Superior Court Judge Peter Deddeh sentenced Weber in accordance with a plea agreement reached between lawyers in the case last month.
According to testimony at an earlier hearing, Costa was riding a mountain bike east in the bicycle lane on Alpine Boulevard at Rock Terrace Road just before 5 p.m. Dec. 2 when a truck slammed into him from behind.
Weber was arrested at the Liars' Club Tavern and Grill in Alpine two days later. CHP Officer Michael Edwards said Weber told investigators he drank two half-pints of vodka before driving to Campo from El Cajon the day of the crash, but didn't remember how he got to Campo or what he did along the way. –D.L.
SAN DIEGO: A jury panel at Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego has sentenced a recruiter to three years in prison for sexually assaulting a 20-year-old Marine last year.

Peter Douglas Kennedy
Peter Douglas Kennedy (18 November 1922 – 10 June 2006) was an English collector of folk songs in the 1950s. Peter's father, Douglas, was EFDSS director after Cecil Sharp.
Kennedy was one of the presenters of the BBC folk music programme As I Roved Out, broadcast during the 1950s which featured collecting recordings of traditional singers. Together with Alan Lomax, and assisted by Shirley Collins he went on to edit "Folk Songs of Britain", a ten volume series of sound recordings, originally published in the USA on Caedmon Records from 1961 onwards, and later in the UK on Topic Records in 1968. Some of the titles in this series were re-issued on CD by Rounder in 2000. A curious, and frequently criticised[1] feature of these albums is that songs are often presented by splicing together recordings of two or more singers. Kennedy also founded the record label Folktrax, issuing his own recordings on cassette, and later CD. His book Folk Songs of Britain and Ireland (London: Cassell, 1975) gave both the tunes and the words to 360 traditional songs, as well as brief notes about their origins, and references to other collected versions.
Kennedy's work raised some controversy amongst the folk music community.[why?] After his death, the magazine Musical Traditions[2] went so far as to draw up a list of opinions for and against Peter's legacy. The number of items against him is 28; in favour, 8. For some people he appeared exploitative and difficult to deal with, but his scholarship was rarely questioned.

Genome sequence and analysis of methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha DL1
1 Centre "Bioengineering" of RAS, Prosp. 60-let Oktyabrya, bld. 7-1, Moscow 117312, Russia
2 Faculty of Chemistry, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119999 Moscow, Russia and Belozersky Institute, Moscow State University, Leninskie Gory 1, Bldg. 40, 119991 Moscow, Russia
3 Institute for Bioinformatics, Center for Biotechnology, Bielefeld University, Universitätsstraße 25, 33615 Bielefeld, Germany
BMC Genomics 2013, 14:837 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-14-837Published: 27 November 2013
Hansenula polymorpha DL1 is a methylotrophic yeast, widely used in fundamental studies of methanol metabolism, peroxisome biogenesis and function, and also as a microbial cell factory for production of recombinant proteins and metabolic engineering towards the goal of high temperature ethanol production.
We have sequenced the 9 Mbp H. polymorpha DL1 genome and performed whole-genome analysis for the H. polymorpha transcriptome obtained from both methanol- and glucose-grown cells. RNA-seq analysis revealed the complex and dynamic character of the H. polymorpha transcriptome under the two studied conditions, identified abundant and highly unregulated expression of 40% of the genome in methanol grown cells, and revealed alternative splicing events. We have identified subtelomerically biased protein families in H. polymorpha, clusters of LTR elements at G + C-poor chromosomal loci in the middle of each of the seven H. polymorpha chromosomes, and established the evolutionary position of H. polymorpha DL1 within a separate yeast clade together with the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris and the non-methylotrophic yeast Dekkera bruxellensis. Intergenome comparisons uncovered extensive gene order reshuffling between the three yeast genomes. Phylogenetic analyses enabled us to reveal patterns of evolution of methylotrophy in yeasts and filamentous fungi.
Our results open new opportunities for in-depth understanding of many aspects of H. polymorpha life cycle, physiology and metabolism as well as genome evolution in methylotrophic yeasts and may lead to novel improvements toward the application of H. polymorpha DL-1 as a microbial cell factory.

Sonia Sotomayor was confirmed more than one month ago, so why, you may ask, am I just now penning a blog about her historic appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court? The answer is easy -- I was scared. I was scared of offending members of the SMA [6] community because of Justice Sotomayor's position on various hot-button issues.
I did not want to polarize the discussion of racial reconciliation by injecting politics into the mix. However, I could not, and decided that I would not contain my exuberance any longer for several reasons. First, I am passionate about Latino culture. Anyone who knows me knows that I am learning Spanish and am making significant strides toward becoming bilingual. Secondly, I am a woman who is proud of any another woman who demonstrates excellence, character, and the ability to rise above meager circumstances to reach greatness. It matters not whether I agree or disagree with Sotomayor's positions on the issues; what I am excited about is that she is there at all. Her appointment and confirmation as the first Latina and third woman on the high court is a cause for celebration regardless of whether you agree with her or not. She sits on that bench as an example of what is possible to young women of every race everywhere. She sits bearing witness to the enduring reality of the American dream. She sits in affirmation of the notion that a woman can be great and can achieve her purpose regardless of whether or not she has a man by her side. She sits and I am happy because of what it means for her, and what it means to me and all my daughters and sons.

Idaho joins Virginia in restricting the use of unmanned aircraft
April 29, 2013
By Josh Altic
Boise, Idaho: One of the last laws of the 2013 Idaho legislative session makes Idaho the second state, along with Virginia, to restrict the use of drones by police and public agencies to protect privacy rights.
Currently federal regulations enforce limitations on the kinds of drones that can fly in U.S. airspace, but more widely permitted use of unmanned aircraft is expected to be available according to federal law in coming years. Earlier this month Governor Butch Otter signed into law Senate Bill 1134 which requires police to obtain a warrant to use drones for surveillance and evidence gathering.[1]
Concerning this measure, Idaho Senate Assistant Majority Leader Chuck Winder said, "We're trying to prevent high-tech window-peeping."[1]

Staff Reporter
Kozhikode: The geological study team which examined Thorodumala, Orakkokunnu and Peryamala at Kanthalodu village at Balusserry in the district where cracks developed on earth, said in their interim report that there was no possibility of earthquake in the area.
The team submitted the report to District Collector A. Jayathilak on Wednesday. They said in their report that this was a natural phenomenon due to heavy rain. Hence there was no cause for panic. They, however, suggested that the families within 100 metres circumference of the Peryamala area where the crack was observed be shifted to safer places as there were chances of the earth caving in causing damage to lives and property in rain in the future.
Also, people residing within a circumference of 50 metres of the spot at Thorodumala and Orakkokunnu should be shifted to safer places. A total of 15 families will have to be shifted to safer places. The team also suggested that facilities to drain away rain water on both sides of the hill be put in place.

VRE Heat Restrictions are All About Safety
by Deirdre Blake
posted May 29 2013 6:31PM
Heat restrictions on VRE to Manassas and Fredericksburg are likely to continue on and off throughout the summer.
While they might be a headache for the commute, Spokesman Mark Roeber says it is about safety. When temperatures spike into the 90s and beyond, the rail quickly absorbs heat. The rail can bow out in spots, causing what is known as a sun kink. If a train's conductor is going at full speed and doesn't see it in time, a derailment could occur. During the heat in some other regions without restrictions, trains have derailed.
If there is a restriction issued, allow about ten minutes more to get from northern Virginia to Fredericksburg.

Show Us Your Degrassi!Posted on 04/21/2011 by Mary
We asked you to Show Us Your Degrassi... check out some of the Degrassi-tastic stuff you sent in!
journeySinger made an entire Degrassi: Whatever It Takes board game, SO EPIC! It starts at Degrassi and ends at Toronto U, and you collect "plot lines" along the way, and, "There's a spot on the board for a Coyne toss. Get it?" (And the coin is a Canadian penny!) Check journeySinger's profile for more pictures! I<3degrassi &eli clare synthesized the current state of all of the Degrassi love quadrangles and pentagons into this handy schematic. So convenient! Our very own quizzer and blogger Lisa made a pair of crafty Degrassi shoes. Nee is a prolific Show Us Your Degrassi-er... on her profile, there are sketches of many Degrassi characters plus two different collages on her walls (next to all her Harry Potter stuff, but of course). ClocheDoux made this "Incarnations of Degrassi" graphic, drawing the parallels between season 3 and season 10 characters. So much to discuss here... such as Craig being currently incarnated as Fiona and Eli! And Paige being a little bit Bianca, a little bit Holly J. I'm sure there's much for fans to debate here... And alyx_withay drew this portrait of Wesley / Spencer Van Wyck looking ever so wide-eyed and sweet, like Wesley always does.
Degrassi Interview: Munro Chambers (Eli)!
(If you can't see the video above these words, click here to watch.
Here, write this on your hand before your next first date... priceless dating advice from Munro Chambers:
Wear deodorant.
Brush teeth.
Don't be creep.
Have you anything to add to the list?
Degrassi Interview: Charlotte Arnold (aka Holly J)!
Would Degrassi's Charlotte Arnold (aka Holly J) ever consider dating a fan? And what's the "Sunshine Lounge"? Find out in part 2 of her photo shoot interview:
(If you can't see the video above these words, click here to watch.)
What about you... would you date a Degrassi fan? ;)
Degrassi Spirit Week: Do Not Disturb, Watching Degrassi!
Happy Degrassi Spirit Week Wednesday! This is your last chance to Show Us Your Degrassi, so get on that!
And... here's a little prezzie we made you for the finale! It fits nicely as your Facebook profile pic, or you could print it out and hang it up wherever you want it, or... just look at it and smile. (To grab this, right click or ctrl-click the image and choose "save image as" or similar.)
Do Not Disturb - Watching Degrassi banner for yr Facebook!
Two more days til "Drop the World, pt. 2"... get ready!
Degrassi Spirit Week: HAIKU!Posted on 04/19/2011 by Lisa
Haiku poems are typically about nature, but since it's Degrassi Spirit Week, let's write about Degrassi instead! If you're not familiar with haiku, they're little poems that have five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the last line.
I wrote a few examples:
Where did Kendra go?
Spinner's little sister met
Degrassi's black hole.
Jenna and K.C. --
Imagine them as parents.
I'm scared for baby.
Season 10's big star
Had no lines to memorize.
Morty, we love you!
Post yours in the comments, or tweet them with the hashtag #degrassihaiku. We'll retweet a few of our faves.
Overheard on the Degrassi season finale...Posted on 04/19/2011 by Mary

Degrassi: The Death CardPosted on 04/17/2011 by Mary
As we lead into the season finale for Degrassi: In Too Deep, I've seen some people mentioning the Death card that Clare pulled waaaay back when in the carnival promo. Which reminded me that I totally snuck into the "fortune teller's tent" on the set of that shoot and took this picture, which I never got a chance to share with you. So here it is!

And while looking for it, I also stumbled on these pics of everyone messing around with the giant snakes that were on set that day.
Degrassi's Aislinn Paul, Munro Chambers and some very large snakes
Degrassi's Charlotte Arnold, snake charmer.

In this study, an Aeromonas hydrophila identified as a denitrifying bacterium by PCR detection of nitrate reductase (narG) and nitrite reductase (nirK) genes was incubated in seawater microcosms for 8 months at room temperature and at 4 °C. A study of the phenotypic variation demonstrated that A. hydrophila becomes gelatinase-positive after the incubation in sea water. We noted that starved A. hydrophila becomes unable to produce leucine arylamidase, and that the starved strain appears to grow more slowly. Indeed, we also observed a severe decrease in cellular aggregation of Aeromonas after incubation. In addition, atomic force micrographs revealed a reduction in cell size.

Welcome to Seven Points, Texas
Welcome to the City of Seven Points, Texas official website.
Seven Points is a city in Henderson and Kaufman Counties in the U.S. state of Texas. The population was 1,145 at the 2000 census.
The city is named for an intersection where seven roads converge. These are not Old West wagon trails, however; the town did not exist until nearby Cedar Creek Reservoir was built in the 1960s, and was not incorporated until the 1970s. The seven roads consist of two state highways (three directions), a farm-to-market road, and three county roads.

The correlation between light precipitation events and visibility at Mt. Hua, (Shannxi Province, China) and at the surrounding plains stations was analyzed. Trends and changes in visibility, precipitation, the precipitation difference between Mt. Hua and the plains stations (De) and wind speed over the study area during the years 1980–2009 were also investigated. The significant positive correlation between visibility and light precipitation throughout the study period indicates that light precipitation events, notably orographic precipitation, are suppressed by aerosol pollution in this region. The trend of increasing air pollution aerosols since 1980, represented by visibility at Mt. Hua, ended in 2002 with a decreasing trend observed in more recent years. These changes were mirrored by corresponding changes in De. However, the total precipitation trends at Mt. Hua and the plains stations are consistent in both frequency and amount during the two periods, suggesting that the suppressive effect of pollution aerosols on light and moderate precipitation is the most likely cause for the changes in orographic precipitation at Mt. Hua during this time. The analysis of wind strength suggests that the increase in winds at Mt. Hua is highly related to the aerosol radiative effects; this increase of mountain winds is therefore a potential cause for the reduction in precipitation at Mt. Hua. This research provides further support for the hypothesis that aerosol microphysical effects can reduce orographic precipitation and suggests that aerosol radiative effects might act to suppress orographic precipitation through changes in wind speed.
