Washer Fills With The Wrong Temperature Water
Wrong Temperature Water
If your washing machine's water is cold when it's supposed to be warm, or vice versa, check the following:
- Make sure both faucets from the home's water source are turned on fully.
- Make sure the temperature selection is correct.
- Make sure the hoses are connected to the correct faucets.
- Check their water heater. It should be set to deliver a minimum 120° F (49° C) hot water at the tap.
- Also, check the water heater capacity and recovery rate. If you have a small water heater and are using a lot of hot water (e.g., maybe someone's taking a long, hot shower), the supply of hot water may be depleted and need time to reheat.
- Disconnect the water hoses and clean the inlet filter screens. The hose filter screens may be plugged (see images below)
- As their washer fills, the water temperature may change as the automatic temperature control feature checks incoming water temperature. This is normal.
- While the washer fills, you may notice just hot and/or just cold water going through the dispenser when cold or warm wash temperatures are selected. This is a normal function of the automatic temperature control feature.

TIGRIS AND EUPHRATES RIVERS AND WATER DEMANDS IN IRAQ The Euphrates is the longest river in western Asia. Arising near Mount Ararat at heights of around 4500 m near Lake Van, the Euphrates drops on average 2 metres per kilometer of length in Turkey and then crosses into Syria. In Iraq, the Euphrates reaches a giant alluvial delta at Ramadi where the elevation is only 53 m above sea level. Further downstream, near Nasiriyah, the river becomes a tangle of channels, some of which drain into the shallow lake of Hammar as the remainder joins the Tigris at Qurna. The Euphrates has a very gentle gradient in Iraq. The River Tigris, which is the second-largest river in western Asia, originates near Lake Hazar (elevation 1150 m) in eastern Turkey. The Tigris is fed by several tributaries in Turkey. It forms the Turkish–Syrian boundary for 32 km, and crosses into Iraq. Within Iraq, the Tigris has several tributaries which contribute significantly to the water potential of the river. The combined Euphrates and Tigris rivers are named Shatt-al- Arab, forming a river almost a kilometer wide and 190 km long. Iran is a co-riparian of the Tigris– Euphrates system by virtue of her contribution to the River Tigris via the lesser Zab, Diyala and Karun rivers. The estimates of mean annual natural runoff of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers are given in Table 1. The characteristic feature that distinguishes the hydrological regime of the Euphrates–Tigris river system is the irregularity of flow both between and within years. The annual precipitation in the Anatolian and Zagros highlands exceeds 1000 mm. There are steep differences between maximum and minimum monthly flows, which for the Tigris are nearly 80-fold and for the Euphrates 28-fold. The concentration of discharge over the months of April and May causes not only extensive spring flooding, but also the loss of much-needed water required for irrigation and power generation purposes during the summer season. The hydrologic records (1946–1994) of average annual flow for the Euphrates and Tigris rivers are shown in Figure 2. At the Turkish–Syrian border, for the Euphrates, annual discharge values range from a minimum flow of 14 km3/y (1961) to a maximum of 57 km3/y (1969). The discharge values for the Tigris at the Turkish border dropped to 7 km3/y in 1961 and rose to 34 km3/y in 1969 . It seems that the anticipated combined demand for water from transboundary rivers by riparian counties is actually greater than the total volume of the river system as could be seen from Table 4. Turkey started the GAP project in the 1960s which is a group of thirteen projects ( The full development of 22 dams and 19 hydropower plants). The mean natural flow of the Euphrates is about 32 billion cubic metres (bcm) per year. It is estimated that as much as 90 percent of the total flow of the Euphrates is generated within Turkey, with a further 10 percent produced by runoff from Syria. Except in times of unusual rainfall, Iraq's contribution to the Euphrates water is almost nil. Water availability Water use and water availability can be expressed in cubic • metres per capita per year, which is total annual average runoff in a country divided by population. When water availability per capita is 500 m3/person per year or less, a country is accepted as being beyond the 'water barrier' of manageable capacity, which is the case for Jordan and Palestine. The limit of 1000 m3/person per year indicates chronic 'scarcity', while less than 1600 m3/person per year is termed as water 'stresses. For the real water-rich countries of northern Europe and Canada, the water availability is around 10 000 m3/person per year or more. Water availability in • Turkey, Syria and Iraq is given in Table 6. The total storage of the existing dams on the Euphrates is 148.8 km3, or five times the river's average annual flow. On the Tigris, existing storage totals more than double the average annual flow of the Tigris. The values given in Table 4 represent the best estimates of the extent of irrigable lands in Turkey, Syria and Iraq. At present it is estimated the irrigated areas cover 202 000 ha in south-eastern Turkey, 350 000 ha in Syria and 2.8 million ha in Iraq. Many innovations may affect the water supply and the use within the next four decades, the full development scenario indicates a water deficiency in the Euphrates basin (Table 5). This picture signals a water shortage that will emerge some time after 2020. The application of water-saving techniques in irrigation could help to save 10– 20% of irrigation demand. Turkey has already started using water-saving technologies by switching to low-pressure pipe systems rather than open canals and flumes. The use of water-saving innovations requires higher investments and necessitates education of the farmers, which may take years to progress. Nevertheless, once the full use of water is reached, water-saving techniques become compulsory as part of a scarcity regime. Water pricing is one of the key issues that must be introduced if efficiency of water use is targeted. Properly applied, water pricing can not only bring about some water saving opportunities but also provide much-needed funds for improving distribution systems. Conversely, a lack of water pricing would encourage waste and improper use of the water. It is obvious that, in the full development of the basin, the independent undertakings of the three riparian countries may bring too many reservoirs into existence, which may cause excessive evaporation. Through full co- ordination of river system operation by the three countries, up to 7 km3/y (or 50%) of the evaporation may be saved. The most important era of the negotiations on the waters of the Euphrates–Tigris basin involved Joint Economic Commission (JEC) meetings and Joint Technical Committee (JTC) meetings. These meetings were initiated in December 1980. Although 16 JTC meetings were held between 1981 and 1992, no consensus could be achieved for the settlement of disputes. The main argument of Iraq during the negotiations was over its 'acquired rights' or 'historical rights' which stem from the existing water installations and the ancestral irrigation systems. In 1995, 'Three-Stage Plan for Optimum, Equitable and Reasonable Utilization of Transboundary Watercourses of the Euphrates–Tigris Basin', was proposed, which involves: (1) compiling an inventory of water resources; (2) compiling an inventory of land resources; and (3) determining the optimum total water demands of each country for domestic, industrial and agricultural requirements. Syria and Iraq stated that the Turkish three-stage plan could not lead to an equitable and reasonable solution. They accused Turkey of trying to seize the largest portion of Euphrates waters, which should be accepted as collective property. They insisted that the Euphrates and Tigris are separate international rivers. Problems Related to Water Utilization The anticipated and declared demands of the • riparian countries are greater than the total water volume of the two rivers. Water is already becoming a scarce commodity, as the 1999–2001 drought has proven. There is a need to devise an arrangement for using the waters of the Euphrates–Tigris river basin in a rational, equitable and sustainable way. Uncoordinated and independent actions of basin countries may result in some difficult problems for which remedies cannot easily be found. With proper and coordinated planning and implementation, however, many of those problems may be pre- empted, eliminated or greatly minimized. Some of the important problems of water resources development and existing misconceptions are as follows. Environmental Problems— Mesopotamian Marshlands One of the more recent controversies about environmental • problems was started in 2001 by a United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) report which stated that, between 1970 and 2000, 90% of the marshlands of Mesopotamia, which originally covered an area of 15 000– 20 000 km2, had disappeared . A long-term recovery plan requiring a holistic river basin approach based on the ultimate goal of sustaining riverine ecology and in which all Tigris–Euphrates riparian countries share the rivers' water in a coordinated and equitable manner was called for. Priority was to be given to allocating an adequate amount of water to the wetlands, while water releases from existing dams could be timed to natural flow patterns and bring the marshlands back to life. NEGOTIATION FRAMEWORKS IN THE EUPHRATES- TIGRIS RIVER BASIN Iraq was strongly opposed to examine the possibility • of covering possible shortages of water supplied by the Euphrates through diverting a part of the Tigris River's water to the Euphrates and insisted on negotiating only the waters of the Euphrates, Syria joined Iraq in advocating that the rivers be considered separately. Hence, in 1972 and 1973 a series of JTC meetings were held. The impounding of both reservoirs, (The Tabaqa and Keban were completed during this period (1974-1975)), in the following two years escalated into a crisis in the Spring of 1975 , a war over water was averted when Saudi Arabia mediated that extra amounts of water be released from Syria to Iraq. Turkey refuses the downstream countries having the rights of co -sovereignty on the waters of the upstream country. The Turkish position is that international rivers are only those that constitute a border between two or more riparians. Turkey considers the Euphrates and Tigris as a single Transboundary river system, which crosses the common political border. . Advantages of Co-operation There are distinct advantages if the basin countries • come together and put forward plans for coordinated development. Some of the areas of possible co- operation are: • The waters of the Euphrates and Tigris can be • utilized equitably and effectively, taking into account seasonal and yearly variations in flow due to floods and droughts. • Conjunctive use of interconnected water and • energy systems can be realized. • Basin-wide management using remote sensing, • geographical information systems (GIS) and optimization technologies can promote optimal use and water savings. • Joint regional research institutes, training centres • and pilot farms can be developed to exchange not only engineers and technicians but also farmers. • Water-augmenting techniques such as water • harvesting, conjunctive use of surface and groundwater sources, reuse of return water and, if necessary, cloud seeding, can be studied, encouraged and practiced. • Demand management plans can be developed • for municipal and irrigation water supplies, especially for possible drought periods. • Co-operative action may facilitate the • achievement of environmental sustainability. The overall objective of a Middle East water • agreement is to provide sustainable utilization of the region's land and water.

Also turn left at Dease Lake and go to Telegraph Creek, another don't miss. Oh, and cross over into Hyder and keep going to the end and see Salmon Glacier.....one of the best Glaciers you will see. Also if you are going that far, make sure you do the Dempster!
Once you get the far north under your skin, and you will, whether or not you want to, you will think of nothing else!:deal
I've been twice now and will hopefully return in 2014
Best 15 Roads in the US

LeBron James Heads List of Top 10 Best-Selling NBA Jerseys That Includes Kevin Durant, Rajon Rondo (Photos)
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 11/28/12
So it looks like it is OK to like LeBron James again. After spending the better part of two years in just about everybody's doghouse, the reigning NBA Most Valuable Player and now-defending NBA champion was back at the top of the list of top-selling jerseys, signaling that the league's best player apparently is popular again. James replaced Bulls point guard Derrick Rose, who dropped to fifth from the No. 1 spot he held in April. Rose's fall is to be expected, since he has not played in a game since April 28 due to a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee. Some other movement on the list was surprising, however. Dwight Howard came out of his debacle in Orlando unscathed and even a little more popular, if jersey sales are any indication. Howard jumped from 14th on April's list to ninth in the current list. Paul Pierce held about steady, falling one spot to No. 14, while Ray Allen dropped out of the top 15 all together. That should make Celtics fans happy. Rajon Rondo made a sizable leap from No. 10 last spring, but to find out where he landed, feel free to click below. Check out the top 10 best-selling NBA jerseys>>

Apache back at work, up to speed in Gulf
By Zain Shauk | October 3, 2012
Apache Corp. said its global production of fossil fuels is at a high of nearly 800,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day since going back online in the Gulf.
More than a month after Hurricane Isaac left the Gulf of Mexico, Apache Corp. said Wednesday it finally has brought all of its production facilities there back online.
Isaac forced shutdowns of nearly all Gulf oil operations and prompted oil companies to rush to restart facilities after the storm passed at the end of August.
With all of its facilities back online, Houston-based Apache said its worldwide production of fossil fuels is now at an all-time high of almost 800,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Last year, the company averaged about 737,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
"We remain focused on drilling our extensive inventory of oil and liquids-rich locations as we put the temporary disruptions from August and September behind us," Rodney J. Eichler, Apache's president and chief operating officer, said in a statement.
Although Isaac cut into Apache's production figures for the third quarter of the year by about 12,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, the return of those totals, along with a restart of interrupted operations in the North Sea, will boost the company's production in the remainder of the year, according to a company statement.
Maintenance activities in the North Sea had interrupted production there, Apache said.

Insurance Selection and Annuities - Taxation of Annuities
Any investment income earned on annuities during the accumulation period is not taxable until distributed to the policyholder with one major exception.
If an annuity contract is held by an entity who is not a natural person (corporation or trust), the annuity taxation rules differ. The income on the contract must be treated as ordinary income received or accrued by the policyholder that year. Annuity benefit payments are a combination of principal and interest. Each payment is considered a partial return of basis and partially taxable income using an inclusion/exclusion ratio
a. Exclusion ratio - The numerator for the exclusion ratio is the cost basis in the annuity. The denominator is the total expected benefits.
b. Inclusion ratio - The numerator for the inclusion ratio is the total expected benefit less the cost basis. The denominator is the total expected benefits.
Example: John retired on December 31, 2004, and receives a monthly annuity pension benefit of $1,000 payable for life. His life expectancy at the date of retirement is 10 years. During his years of employment, John contributed $30,000 to the cost of his company's pension plan.
Solution: Excluded from John's taxable income in 2005 is $3,000 ($30,000 ÷ $120,000 = .25 or 25% 2005 (12 payments x $1,000) x ¼ = $3,000.
Practice Question:
Tom purchased a single premium immediate annuity for $100,000 lump sum for his life. Tom will receive a 4% return on his investment for the life of the contract. The insurance company has guaranteed Tom a monthly payment of $1,200 for the rest of his life. According to actuarial tables, Tom is expected to live another 10 years (120 payments). Which of the following is correct?
A. If Tom dies after receiving only $75,000 back, his beneficiary will not be taxed on the $25,000 return of premium.
B. If Tom lives longer than 10 years, all amounts received after the 120th payment must be included in his gross income.
C. If Tom collects $12,000 in his first calendar year from the annuity, the full payment will be considered a return of principal and not taxable income to Tom.
D. Tom's first monthly payment for $1,200 will have an exclusion ratio of 96%.
Answer: B
When Tom purchases a single-life immediate annuity, the insurance company will guarantee payments for Tom's life only, so payments will cease at his death. Tom's exclusion ratio will be 69.44% ($100,000 divided by $144,000), so a payment for $1,200 will have $833.33 excluded from gross income. If Tom lives longer than his 120th payment, all future payments will be includable as gross income. The 4% return is irrelevant for this question.

Before I start this blog, I want to say that I am not Matt Hardy fan neither am I a Jeff Hardy fan. This blog is my thoughts and opinions about Matt Hardy and his future in TNA. I would be glad to have feedback on my blog. Thank you.
For months, people on EWN bashed Matt Hardy about just anything they can find. Many people bashed him due to his youtube videos, and weight. I will admit,

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Benjamin Li, Michael O'Neill, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 11 August 2011 09:25AM
OMD will handle media planning and buying for all Sony Electronic brands, including notebooks, home audio and visual, and digital cameras, across all Asia-Pacific markets, excluding India and Australia.
It is understood that India and Australia took part in both rounds of the pitch process, but opted out of changing agencies. In India, Sony works with Lintas Media Group, while the brand partners with Starcom in Australia.
The business is believed to be worth between US$130m and US$175m, although it is thought that those figures include spend for India and Australia.
OMD will run the business out of Singapore, under the leadership of Tori Henderson, CEO at Omnicom Media Group (OMG) in Singapore.
The China business will be run by Elaine Ip, former CEO of OMG China who, in May, moved into a business development director role for China at Omnicom Group. Ip will be supported by Siew Ping Lim, CEO of OMD China.
The first round of pitch presentations took place in Tokyo, Singapore and Shanghai in late June, and also included UM, Dentsu and ZenithOptimedia, while the second round took place in mid-July.
MEC was appointed to the Sony media account in 2007.
In 2011, the Japanese company recorded annual losses for the third year in a row (ending March 2011). The company has lost money in its important TV business for the past eight years in the face of competition from the likes of Samsung and LG.
TV sales still account for nearly one-third of the revenue of Sony's consumer products division and 16% of total sales – its single biggest product segment.

As of Sunday, November 6, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. — A family that has been touched by mental illness is giving back to its community by battling something that has traditionally been viewed in a negative light.
Byne Memorial Baptist Church has announced the formation of a new support group for people with mental illness and their families called "Renewed Minds."
For now, the group is meeting on the first Tuesday of the month. It is part of a new outreach ministry at the church designed to address the needs of a population of people who suffer stigma, rejection and hurt as a result of mental illness.
The group is being led by Byne members Mark and Kim Burnette, who have experience through the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) in educating, as well as facilitating classes and support groups, for people with mental illness and their family members.
"We moved here in January, and the community was very welcoming," said Kim Burnette. "My son has been sick (with a mental illness) for 10 years, and will not step in a church because of the stigma.
"When I came here, I asked the minister (at Byne) about his view on mental illness. He said he had been praying for a ministry."
Kim Burnette, a mother of three, has struggled with mental illness herself. She had post-traumatic stress disorder for a while, and was recently diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Her first husband was an alcoholic, which ended up killing him, and likely had a mental illness in his lifetime.
"I had to deal with my own stuff, my husband's stuff and my child's stuff — and I felt like I had no support," she recalled. "With mental illness, if you are not the patient, you are not the concern — and you don't know what to do.
"In my case, I wasn't the patient."
Kim Burnette compares the stigma attached to mental illness to what HIV-positive patients used to go through.
"It's like a curse for most people," she said. "HIV is not looked at the same way it once was. I hope it will soon be the same way with mental illness."
The church has scheduled "Renewed Minds" in conjunction with NAMI, making sure the meetings do not conflict with the outreach being provided by the area affiliate.
The pieces came together to make the group's establishment a reality over the course of a few months. The first meeting took place last week, and will likely be moved to the third Tuesday of the month after the new year.
In acknowledgment of how Kim Burnette has gotten through her struggles with mental illness, she said the group will maintain a faith-based focus — and what is discussed in the meetings remains confidential.
"You don't have to be a Christian to come, but it is Christ-centered," she said. "(In the group), we pray and relay on scripture.
"We don't have the strength to deal with these things alone."
Something like this would be especially helpful for this region, Kim Burnette said.
"There is so little for this population of people," she explained. "Most people are afraid to come out and be a part of it. We want to help build the courage for people to come.
"There is a high population of people that are sick and won't get help."
For the first meeting, there were five people that showed up. As it recruits more members, patients and family members will eventually break out into separate groups. Outreach is also planned to other churches in the community.
All that is asked of a potential member is to call before attending a session, its co-founder said.
"We hope this will spread," she said. "Nobody is forced to say anything (at the meetings), we just want people to feel comfortable.
"We talk and address issues, as well as the things we can work on with God."
One of the primary issues most mental health patients deal with is fear, and adjusting to what is referred to as the "three-legged stool" — or the medical attention, support and faith — attached to mental illness recovery.
"Fear is huge," Kim Burnette said. "Mental illness is very unpredictable. The bottom falls out, and you don't know what you're going to do before it gets better.
"It is not God for everyone, but knowing more is ahead makes a big difference. We are giving a place where people are accepted and loved, and we all need that."
Most of the people that know of the group have been supportive of the concept, Kim Burnette said.
"The church is thrilled about it because they think it will make a big difference with people," she said. "Back when I was dealing with everything, I didn't have this.
"Sometimes the best teachers are others who have gone through the same thing. I've learned as much from these groups as they have from me."
Kim Burnette has been with NAMI since 2002.
For more information, call Kim Burnette at (229) 288-1986, or Mark Burnette at (229) 288-1925.
Jacob 3 years, 7 months ago
Does the "Christian" school still discourage and prevent children with learning difficulties from attending? It would be nice if that giving, love and acceptance transferred to the school. God bless the Burnetts for trying, though, and good luck to you.
Citizen_A 3 years, 7 months ago
Special Education is very costly and comes with alot of requirements most smaller private schools cannot afford. Even public schools depend on federal money to fund special education programs. And if I am not mistaken, depending on the type of private school, they may not qualify for the federal programs for special education.
Jacob 3 years, 7 months ago
Byne does. They choose not to accept it. I guess their Jesus only wants perfect kids.
supersquawker 3 years, 7 months ago
Will this ministry be forced to run like a business or will they actually purpose to minister to people even if it costs something that could be funded with surplus funds? Thanks.

On Tap Today: The election's upon us
Will Obama be re-elected for a second presidential term? Will Mitt Romney and his Wisconsin-based VP candidate Paul Ryan take over the White House? One thing is for certain - this election thing is a pretty big deal, particularly in a so-called battleground state like Wisconsin. So unique entertainment options appear to be a bit spare tonight as we wait to see how this election will pan out.
That said, the Riverwest Public House Cooperative at 815 E. Locust St. has found a way to celebrate the election and bring some much needed fun to the evening. It's been preparing for tonight with a series of "Hot Blind Debates" discussions this fall in addition to screening the actual presidential debates. Tonight, election coverage will be playing on two big screen TVs, with raffle prizes for guessing the popular vote in states before they're called, plus political jokes and "I Voted" drink specials. Oh, and according to the site, depending on how things go, cat videos might be shared as well. »Read Full Blog Post

Cutdowns: T.J. Houshmandzadeh let go
Updated: September 6, 2010, 7:11 PM ETBy Christopher Harris | ESPN.com
Updated Monday, Sept. 6, at 7 p.m. ET
The Seahawks couldn't trade T.J. Houshmandzadeh's $7 million-guaranteed contract before Saturday, so they've decided to eat his salary and release him.
Housh was a huge fantasy disappointment his first year in Seattle in an offensive system that never suited his receiving style; he finished with 911 receiving yards and just three touchdowns. He often looked frustrated and disinterested with the Seahawks, though at age 32 (he turns 33 ...

Dan's Favorite Supersized Southwestern Chicken Sandwich
Total Time
Prep 10 mins

Ate waaaaaaaaaay too much and I can just see the headlines now, "Woman Found Dead with Southwestern Chicken Sandwich Stuffed in Her Mouth." Made for PRMR.
If I could I would give this way more than five stars...it was completely awesome ( and that's a quote coming from DH's mouth!!).
This was my first time using chipotles ( although eaten plenty in the U.S)-I could never track any down in the UK, and has taken me 18 months to find them here in Oz..but it was so worth all of the effort...the beautiful smokineness of the chilli is a great partner to cool creamy mayo.
I used our favourite dry rub on the chicken ( Ainsley's Barbecue Spice Rub) and tiger rolls instead of ciabatta.
As previously mentioned, Pepperjack cheese is not available here ( more's the pity..I love it!), so I subbed Aussie Jack and threw in a few chilli flakes to pep it up a little.
This is a truly gargantuan sandwich, but oh so delicious...DH is still talking about, so I'm guessing that this will become a permanent fixture around here- not that I'm complaining!!
Heed my warning though...make sure that you have plenty of napkins etc on hand..this is one messy monster!!
Thanks MamaJ...for a really fab recipe!
Made for PRMR.
Wow! This was so yummy, filling, and yes drip off the elbows messy. Made only one very small change and that was to ciabatta rolls instead of a loaf and that was because that's what we had on hand. Other than that no changes made and thought the spicy was perfect. Loved the smoke flavor the chipotle gave this sandwich. Thanks so much for the post.

- It was announced at last night's WWE SmackDown tapings that the winner of the Elimination Chamber match will face the World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania 29. No word yet on the Chamber participants but Dolph Ziggler, a returning Jack Swagger, Daniel Bryan, Kane, Sheamus, Randy Orton and The Great Khali were teased at the tapings by Booker T. Ziggler made it clear that he didn't want in the match and teased that he would be cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase at WrestleMania.

The game between the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts on Sunday was not really expected to have a big impact on the playoff picture. Win or lose, both teams would still be in the same position they were in prior to the game (New England leading AFC East; Indianapolis in the thick of the wildcard hunt).
As luck—not Andrew—would have it, the game could end up having a pretty serious impact after all. Why you ask? New England ended up losing tight end Rob Gronkowski for 4-6 weeks due to a broken forearm...

I'm really amazed with technology, with everything advancing you can video chat with people around the world just a click away! Right now I'm skyping with my best friend Casey (http://chictopia.com/caseyerum) She's in Vegas right now, because she attended her cousin's debut. I haven't seen her in two weeks so skype really helps!
Other reasons why I love Skype is because I always get to talk to my brother who lives all the way in New York! Our family's really close so when he left for New York it was such a big change, but skype really made it so much easier for us!
So this post is dedicated to Skype! Yaay!
Btw, the attire was for school last week! :)

The majority of rare diseases are hereditary. But despite significant progress in genome research, in most cases their exact cause remains unclear. The discovery of the underlying genetic defect is, however, a prerequisite for their definitive diagnosis and the development of innovative approaches to their treatment. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics and the Institute of Medical Genetics at the Charit Universittsmedizin - Berlin have succeeded in using a new process with which all of the genes in the human genome can be analysed simultaneously. The process was used for the first time on three children in a family who suffer from a rare form of mental retardation (Mabry Syndrome). The analysis revealed a mutation in the PIGV gene that results in the inability of proteins, for example alkaline phosphatase, to anchor to the surface of cell membranes. The results reveal that the new genome sequencing processes are suitable for tracking down individual mutations in the genome and for the identification of these mutations as the cause of rare diseases. (Nature Genetics, August 29th 2010)
The Berlin-based researchers used high throughput sequencing technology for the first time to identify the genetic defect behind a very rare disease. "It was like the proverbial search for a needle in a haystack. We fished out solely the 22,000 genes from the entire genome, decoded their sequence and examined them for mutations. Using new bioinformatic analyses, we were able to limit the number of mutation candidates to two one of which is ultimately responsible for Mabry Syndrome," explains Michal Ruth Schweiger from the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics. The available results will enable, for example, the identification of the genetic risk in affected couples who would like to have children.
Mabry Syndrome is a rare recessive genetic disorder that causes mental retardation, seizures and a characteristic mutation in

Strikeforce middleweight champ Luke Rockhold made his second consecutive successful title defense Saturday night by posting a unanimous decision win over Tim Kennedy.
Although Rockhold was a significant odds-on favorite, he simply couldn't put away the military man.
"I could've let a couple combinations go," Rockhold stated. "He does some funky stuff. It' s hard to let things go when you know he's going to shoot.
"He's a great wrestler, so tenacious. What he lacks in technique, he makes up for in lack and desire. I knew I couldn't get stale."
Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon hosted the festivities.
Betting Line:
Favorite (-) Underdog (+)
Luke Rockhold -330
Tim Kennedy +250
Rockhold vs. Kennedy Play-by-Play:
1stRound: After some back-and-forth action, Kennedy manages to take the champion down. Rockhold is attempting a kimura from off his back, but Kennedy has side control and easily slips out. Close round to score. Kennedy, 10-9.
2ndRound: Both middleweights go for high kicks and fall to the ground. Rockhold takes his back during a brief scramble. Kennedy lands a back-elbow. They get to their feet. Kennedy tags him with a right hook. Rockhold starting to do damage with his kicks. Rockhold, 10-9.
3rdRound: Kennedy has him clinched against the cage and is unloading knees. He connects one to the groin and time is called. During the stoppage, referee John McCarthy tell Rockhold he'll deduct a point the next time he grabs the fence. Kennedy gets a warning for the low blow, as well. Game on. Kennedy gets a body lock and takes his opponent down. He immediately takes his back. Rockhold gets to his feet. Kennedy, 10-9.
4thRound: Straight left followed by a body shot lands for Rockhold. A big right hook drops Kennedy, Rockhold tries to follow up but he can't finish. Kennedy tries to take Rockhold's back but loses position and the frame ends. Rockhold, 10-9.
5thRound: Rockhold avoids the takedown and starts to grind Kennedy up against the cage. Rockhold is controlling the center of the cage with his length. Both fighters exchange elbows as the bout comes to an end. Rockhold, 10-9, and retains his title, 48-47.

The ride of his life
Casey Colletti is riding a bit of a hot streak. Earlier this month, he rode away with bareback riding titles at rodeos in Mesquite and Ardmore, Okla. - but he says neither of those championships top what he did Thursday.
Colletti rode Griz to an 84, good enough for second place midway through the Miller Lite Buc Days Rodeo at the American Bank Center.
The second-year pro, who trails only Cody DeMer's opening round score of 90, also got the crowd of 2,659 fired up when he jumped off his horse, threw his hands in the air and pumped his fist when he saw his second-round winning score posted on the board.
It was a big ride for Colletti, because his previous wins had come in smaller rodeos. The Buc Days rodeo, though, is one of 20 on the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association's main circuit, which means more cash in the cowboys' pockets.
"I'm real happy, man," said Colletti, who turned pro after a successful college career at Garden City Community College in Kansas. "This is a big rodeo. Everything's starting to click a little for me, and it feels good to keep it going."
As Colletti conducted an interview in the hallway, several cowboys passed and congratulated him on his ride. The up-and-coming rider blushed with each pat on the back.
"These are the best cowboys in the world at this rodeo I'm just a nobody compared to these guys," Colletti said. "It feels good to be able to come here and compete with the best and do well."
Clayton Foltyn of Wharton also had a big night, scoring an 89 to climb into second place in bull riding.
The night didn't go so well for bullrider Wes Dunwiddie of Fort Dodge, Iowa.
Dunwiddie was bucked off Nervous Waters, and the bull stomped on the back of his head before he could get off the dirt. Dunwiddie was knocked woozy and had trouble getting back to his feet, but was eventually helped out of the arena with a nasty gash on his head and blood on his chaps.
Dunwiddie received six stitches in his head, but was otherwise given a clean bill of health by rodeo personnel.
Contact sports editor Matt Young at 886-3702 or HYPERLINK mailto:email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com
