ATLANTA, Ga. -- Colorless, odorless carbon monoxide can kill quickly and with no warning.
To protect yourself, purchase either a carbon monoxide detector or a joint carbon monoxide/smoke detector
Install the joint Smoke/CO Detector on the ceiling, but if you have just a CO Detector, install low and near sleeping areas and install your Smoke Detector higher.
Be sure to test the units once a month and put in new batteries once a year
Engage a technician to inspect all of your gas appliances, including gas stoves, hot water heaters and furnaces and do it on a regular basis.
If you use a gas fired space heater indoors, make certain it is vented properly to the outside, and if you use a generator, use it only outside and make sure it is vented away from the house.
And never idle a car in your garage. It is the greatest source of CO that can invade your home and cause a silent death.
(If you are in need of a detector and cannot afford one, you can call your local Atlanta Fire Department Fire Station and they will supply one as long as supplies last)

Heiko Nieder
Heiko Nieder took charge of The Restaurant kitchens in 2008. This ambitious restaurant is part of Dolder Grand, the enormous palace overlooking Zurich. Take a look at how the other half eat.
Heiko Nieder In 7 dates
1972 Born in Reinbek in the outskirts of Hamburg.
1990 Trains at the Vier Jahreszeiten hotel in Hamburg, then in several Michelin-starred establishments: Le Canard (Hamburg), Zur Traube (Grevenbroich), and Vau (Berlin).
2002 Head chef at L'Orquivit (Bonn).
2003 Named "Discovery of the Year" by Gault&Millau.
2005 Awarded his first Michelin star.
2008 Head of The Restaurant, the fine dining location at the Dolder Grand (Zurich).
2011 Awarded a second star by the Michelin Guide.
To find the real engine room of this huge spaceship, you have to take a peek through basement windows, peer through portholes and climb each of the fire escapes.
Across the horizon, the eternal snows look like the seams of some celestial mineral deposit. Lake Zurich stands out against the mountains like a fragment of fallen sky, reflecting the upward-sweeping hills, green as the Elysian fields. This heavenly scenery can be best appreciated from a vast balcony, accessed via a futuristic walkway which calls to mind the Batmobile's launch pad. You have now reached the threshold of a fantastic castle to rival Bruce Wayne's manor: the Dolder Grand, Switzerland's largest hotel, whose legendary panorama is the envy of the world. The Empress Sissi, Richard Wagner, Franz Liszt, Alfred Hitchcock, Persian shahs and Abyssinian emperors have gazed over this masterpiece. It is a hard act to follow for the 40,000 m² of the palace, which is filled with priceless works of art. From the luminous landscapes of Camille Pissarro to the dream-like precision of Salvador Dalí, the studious hallucinations of Jean Dubuffet and the infantile kitsch of Takashi Mura-kami, the Dolder Grand denies itself no luxury. But to find the real engine room of this huge spaceship, modernised by Norman Foster's architects, you have to take a peek through basement windows, peer through portholes and climb each of the fire escapes.
A muscular culinary machine
Even when the kitchen is a hive of activity, chef Heiko Nieder's stoves glisten like a hall of mirrors. The palace has placed quite some kitchen at the disposal of this young, thoughtful German chef, who has only just turned forty and came to the hotel in 2008. Other kitchens relieve him of the daily trials of breakfast and room service, leaving him free to dedicate all his time to his "cuisine". The prestigious establishment, soberly named "The Restaurant", discreetly embodies this extravagant hotel in its every detail. That idea more than anything else is what motivates this muscular culinary machine. The team are a sight to behold, as they strut about in full uniform, not a hair out of place, then suddenly spring into action with the discipline of a film crew, where each person in his or her mysterious role contributes to the success of the final performance. Every so often, the director takes the camera, and everyone holds their breath in the presence of his ample yet precise movements, as sharp as the blow of a sword... Heiko Nieder is not burdened by the vanities of regional fare: his cuisine is conceived in keeping with his wayfaring nature (after training in Hamburg and Berlin, he was chef at L'Orquivit, a highly-regarded restaurant in Bonn). The menu blends rigorously selected local ingredients with a multitude of exotic marvels, such as pearly line-caught turbot served with miniature garnishes prepared with a diamond-dealer's pliers; or Breton lobster with strawberries, probably a homage to one of the glories of French Nouvelle Cuisine, the famous vanilla lobster cooked by chef Alain Senderens. It is essentially a true hotel menu, fitting perfectly with the international and eclectic inclination of this city of refuge: Zurich, where twenty minutes' walk takes you out of the city – a summary of the world, the gathering place of high society.
In order to gain a better understanding of Switzerland's biggest city, one might compare it to another protestant metropolis. Amsterdam is its polar opposite, a city where you can see right into the houses, and the walls between each window are almost like frames. In days gone by, this strange architecture meant that occupants' integrity was subject to the prying gaze of passers-by. Nothing could have been stranger to the former inhabitants of Zurich than to parade their virtues in the public arena. After all, whereas the middle classes of Amsterdam made a living from trade, their Swiss counterparts were expert bankers. The cardinal virtue of the former was reputation; the latter, discretion. It is something of a paradox that such a reserved culture was so successful in attracting fortunes from around the world. Zurich is hardly fond of excess, as its grand yet unadorned houses attest. The city has created its own form of luxury which is modest yet efficient: the approval of its citizens, the only people on earth bored by wealth. It almost brings to mind the court at Versailles, where the Sun King won the unstinting loyalty of the most feared lords by handing out courtly privileges, such as the right to sit down in his presence.
The problem of copious wealth is reaching the limits of what it can buy. What could be more frustrating than not being able to enjoy one's money? In days gone by, the protestant city amassed wealth only to resist it. Its piety invented the infinite accumulation of capital, replacing spending with investment to escape from the former's promises, as insubstantial as evening drizzle on the lake. Millionaires searching for meaning come from around the world hoping to find the miracle of normality: King Midas would have loved to feel something other than gold beneath his fingers. Heiko Nieder is thus charged with satisfying a difficult clientele seeking simplicity. Diners must be served without uncalled-for familiarity, and their whims flattered without any guilt-tripping. They do not want to feel trapped by flagrant indulgence, and sincerity is all they appreciate. Perhaps by dint of feeding the fascination of the masses, and thus encouraging cheap imitations, they fear they too will end up trapped in kitsch. They dread discovering they have signed up to a soap opera instead of a blockbuster. The Dolder Grand does not compromise on any element which might set their minds at rest: a simple yet luxurious menu, cautiously ambitious and carefully generous, yet leaving room for spontaneity, right down to the balanced selection of coffees, which are extracted at a specific temperature and prepared by the Nespresso Aguila machine which can whip up any number of recipes with mathematical precision. And from time to time, this harnessed desire for power steps on the accelerator: the race car revs at the red light, reaches top speed in half a second and only levels out at the very limit of what is possible, restricted only by the cramped alleys and watchful eye of radars.
Even when the kitchen is a hive of activity, chef Heiko Nieder's stoves glisten like a hall of mirrors.
Heiko Nieder is not burdened by the vanities of regional fare: his cuisine is conceived in keeping with his nature.

For the tart: pre-heat the oven to 175 °C (gas mark 4-5). Mix together 500 g (1 lb 1 ½ oz) cream cheese, 70 g (2 ½ oz) sugar, 50 g (1 ¾ oz) cornflour, 100 g (3 ½ oz) single cream, 50 g (1 ¾ oz) cream, 1 yoghurt and 3 egg yolks. Beat 4 egg whites with 90 g (3 ¼ oz) of sugar until stiff then add to the mixture. Add the juice and zest of one lemon, mix and pour into a greased tin. Cook for 40 minutes until golden. Leave to cool.
For the crumble: mix 50 g (1 ¾ oz) cane sugar with 50 g (1 ¾ oz) soft butter, 50 g (1 ¾ oz) flour, 50 g (1 ¾ oz) ground almonds, 2 g salt and 5 g crushed juniper berries. Roll into a ball and refrigerate for 1 hour. Break the dough into crumbs and cook for 15 minutes at 180 °C (gas mark 6).
For the cream: mix 275 g (10 oz) cream cheese with 80 g (3 oz) sugar and one teaspoon of flour. Beat one egg with one yolk and stir into the mixture. Add 20 g (¾ oz) cream, ½ teaspoon candied lemons and the ground seeds of half a vanilla pod. Mix and pour into a greased tin. Heat in a bain-marie for 1 ½ hours in an oven heated to 90 °C (gas mark 3). Leave to cool and top the tart with this creamy mixture, sprinkled with the crumble. This dessert is served with marinated loquats, a compote of wild herbs and sorrel sorbet.
SERVES 4 PREPARATION TIME: 20 min COOKING TIME: 45 min
Peel the zest from four lemons, keeping the pith and the pulp for the juice. Place the zest and the pith in separate pots of cold water, quickly bring to the boil then drain. Repeat four times. The fifth time, cook both together over a low heat with 50 g (1 ¾ oz) sugar for around 45 minutes. Drain. Mix to a fine purée with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Beat 5 egg yolks in a dish in a bain-marie, along with 1 tablespoon of white wine and 2 tablespoons of caper juice. Gradually add 80 g (3 oz) butter and 20 g (¾ oz) lemon olive oil; the sauce should thicken like a hollandaise sauce. Season. Keep on the heat. Salt 4 x 80 g (3 oz) turbot filets and pan-fry on each side in 50 g (1 ¾ oz) butter over a medium heat. Take off the heat and sprinkle with lemon zest. Serve with the lemon purée, the sauce, chopped parsley and fried croutons. This fish is served with a brown butter emulsion and the foamed caper sauce. These Heiko Nieder recipes have been adapted.
SERVES 4 PREPARATION TIME: 30 min COOKING TIME: 2 hr COOLING TIME: 1hr + 1hr
Wash 2 beetroot, wrap in tin foil and bake in the oven for 2 hours at 180 °C. Peel and dice. Marinate 100 g (3 ½ oz) finely chopped strawberries in 1 tablespoon of raspberry vinegar, 100 ml (3 ½ fl oz) olive oil and 5 drops of lime juice. Place 2.6 kg (1 lb 5 oz) lobsters in salted boiling water. Boil for 4-5 minutes. Plunge the lobsters in salted icy water. Remove the shell and cut into medallions. Mix 600 ml (21 fl oz) lemon olive oil with 100 ml (3 ½ fl oz) stock. Add the juice of one lime and marinate the medallions in this mixture for one hour. Blend 2 stalks of tarragon with 250 ml (8 ¾ fl oz) water and 3 g sea salt. Soften 3 gelatine leaves in cold water then dissolve in hot water, and add to the tarragon sauce. Pour this mixture into a siphon, refrigerate for 30 minutes then shake the siphon and pour the contents onto a plate. Refrigerate for one hour to allow the mousse to set. Chop the mousse. Serve with the marinated medallions, the beetroot and the strawberries. This starter is served with beetroot chips, nasturtium flowers and mustard.

It is the first state championship for the Lady Bulldogs.

Who are you rooting for in this weekend's big Redskins-Ravens game? Give us your prediction for who will win on the WTOP Talkback line at 1-877-222-1035. You also can leave a comment on our Facebook page or connect with us on Twitter using #WTOP.
Ari Ashe, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – A new video posted by a group called Revolution Reels pokes fun at the Redskins-Ravens rivalry building ahead of Sunday's game at FedEx Field.
In the video, Jimmy Vickers III plays a Ravens fan arguing with a Redskins fan, Steve Mobley.
"Your stadium is the worst. It's terrible. It's not even in D.C. You moved from D.C to Landover. I just view you as the other team from Maryland," says Vickers in the video.
"You bring back Joe Gibbs just so your fans can boo him. Your fans are the worst. You think you're great. But in reality, everyone hates you. Your own owner hates you. He sues grandmothers … Your entire fan base is a joke!"
Mobley looks befuddled, then shakes his head and says, "RGIII."
Three Redskins fans behind him agree and start chanting "RGIII."
This isn't Revolution Reels' first foray into a D.C.-Baltimore rivalry.
This summer the group of four created a similar video poking fun at the Nationals-Orioles rivalry.
"After the success of the Baltimore versus Washington Part 1 video this summer, we joked about the idea of doing a Redskins-Ravens video in the same vein as the Nats-O's," Vickers tells WTOP.
However, Vickers and his friends chose to wait and see how the Redskins' season went.
At 3-3, the group decided if the Redskins beat the Giants at MetLife Stadium, they would begin writing a script.
When they lost, the group called off the project.
"Two straight losses to the Steelers and Panthers, and we had given up on the video like how Shanahan appeared to have given up on the Redskins' season," says Vickers.
Then, after wins against the Eagles and Cowboys, the group decided the project was back on.
They shot the video at a Hooters in Chantilly, Va., on Dec. 1, and waited until Monday's game against the Giants.
Win and they'd release it. Lose and they'd scrap it altogether.
The rest is history.
"We couldn't ask for a better three weeks leading up to the video release and for 'Skins fans 6-6 isn't a bad place to be," Vickers says.
Steve Mobley plans to be at FedEx Field on Sunday. Vickers hasn't decided whether he'll go, too.

While it doesn't live up to its billing as "the world's smallest audiophile Bluetooth speaker," the Monster SupersStar has some nice attributes, including a slim, splash-resistant design and built-in speakerphone.
The Monster SuperStar BackFloat's sound quality won't blow you away, but its travel-friendly design and unique ability to float on water makes it a fun accessory for your next pool party.
The Monster SoundStage S1 offers a huge, party-ready sound in a small box coupled with exhaustive connectivity, but subtle it is not.
The Monster 24K Headphones are a solid purchase for DJs looking to add flashiness to their gear without sacrificing sound quality, but they won't fit everyone so be sure to try them on before buying.
Monster's Adidas Sport Adistar is one of the better-fitting and -sounding in-ear wireless sports headphones for the money.
We get a first taste of the Monster SoundStage S3 wireless speaker system and it's packing some extra features that could edge competitors in this fast-growing category.
The Monster Central Power Control Kit sits behind the competition on features, making its $140 price point completely outlandish.
The new over-the-ear model with active noise cancellation is aimed at folks who want a more premium -- and exclusive headphone -- than a pair of $300 Beats.
Despite a couple of small flaws, the Monster iSport Victory offers a great fit, is water-resistant, and one of the better sounding in-ear sports headphones out there.
The Monster DNA Pro headphones are a step forward in design and sound quality, but some users may find the earcups too narrow.

Elaine"JAZZY" Rush
Ari burned three meals worth of calories running after this woman to interrupt her afternoon power-walk. The mad rush was well worth the effort, because when we finally caught up with her on the Upper West Side, she was an absolute delight and even more colorful than we realized at first glance.
Elaine, who is known amongst her friends as "Jazzy", is originally from Montreal (where she was known as "Pepper", for the condiments she'd put on Poutine). She moved to New York City to enroll at The New School, we're guessing for DRAMA. This remains a mystery since we focused our chat on more important matters, such as color and where to find the best sandals.
When I asked Jazzy about her layers, she was especially excited to tell me about her romper, a staple in her wardrobe. "I always wear one-pieces. They're all I wear." Since Jazzy has lived everywhere from Los Angeles to Florida to Massachusetts, she has done her fair share of dressing for different climates, and prefers light and airy items like this one and the ivory leather studded sandals she's wearing today.
My favorite thing about Jazzy's look is her choice of hair color/lipstick/eyeglasses. She says her daughter helps with coloring her closely cropped cut to neon yellow, and her eyeglasses are "just $8 on St Mark's Place, but the prescriptions cost a fortune!"

30 mins - £30 50 mins - £50
A few weeks ago I was contacted by the lovely Stevie from Bliss and Elemis kindly offering me to pop into Bliss based in my local Debenhams for a complimentary Triple Oxygen Facial, i'm used to having facials all the time in my college course and I absolutely love them so I couldn't wait to try the Triple Oxygen!
The first thing Stevie used was the Lid and Lash remover on the eyes to get rid of any make-up, unlike most eye-makeup removers it didn't leave my eyes feeling oily, instead it actually made them feel quite fresh! She then used the Clog Dissolving Cleansing Milk all over the face to dissolve dirt and make-up from the skin and followed with the Triple Oxygen Cleansing Foam which was my favourite product used in the facial! It felt really odd but nice as it turns from a liquid into a foam on the skin.
To tone my skin Stevie used the Detoxifying Toner, what i like about this product is that it contains rose water to soothe the skin which was a nice touch after all the cleansing on my skin. Next was the Pore Fector Gadget, used to deep cleanse pores and help remove blackheads. This actually hurt a little bit around my nose but i think that's because i have quite sensitive skin, after the facial i did notice that there was less of an oily shine on the areas where this was used and blackheads looked slightly reduced which was a good thing! There's a great review on this product here.
Glycolic pads were then used on my skin which helped soothe it after the Pore Fector Gadget had done it's work, and then i had a really relaxing shoulder massage which was a lovely added extra, followed by a facial massage. Stevie then used the Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Eye Masks on my eyes. I was really happy with the results from these as i usually have dark circles under my eyes and i get tired eyes easily from my contact lenses so it was nice to feel the effects of this product and have de-puffed, hydrated and brightened eyes, i can also imagine this would be a great hangover cure haha!
After enzymes were used over the face the Triple Oxygen Face Mask was used. I would say that this product is one of Bliss' most popular, and i can definitely see why. My skin felt absolutely amazing after this, Bliss describe it "Bliss triple oxygen energizing mask is a fast-acting foamy face mask that brightens, tightens and revives dull, sallow skin" and it is true to every single word. While the face mask was doing wonders for my skin i had a hand and arm massage which was nice rather than just waiting for the mask to work, the massage was done with the Blood Orange and White Pepper Body Butter which smelt absolutely out of this world! It's just indescribable how good it smells so if you're near a bliss counter soon you need to give this a whiff!
Stevie then used the Triple Oxygen Machine all over my face which felt so good, it basically just blows oxygen onto the face and leaves the skin looking brightened and overall amazing and i felt super pampered when i found out that Madonna has one so it must be good! To finish she used the Triple Oxygen Moisturiser on my skin which has vitamin c in it and left my skin looking glowing and feeling really hydrated.
The entire facial was so relaxing and you can really feel all of the products working on the skin! The only thing I was slightly wary about was that the treatments are done on the shop floor, but once you get into the chair and the therapist begins the facial, the customers are the last thing on your mind. I would definitely go for another bliss facial again, the results actually lasted for quite a few days and i felt confident enough to go out without any make-up on which is a huge thing for me! Also if you pop into the Chester debenhams and go to the Bliss/Elemis counter and tell the girls you've read this review on my blog you can get a two for one facial and a complimentary lip treatment! Have you ever had a bliss facial?

'He's Bringing Great Sadness
to Our Home'
Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry talks about his gay son.gay marriage and homosexuality. So it was of some embarrassment to him when his son Jamiel published an article in the May issue of Out magazine revealing that he is gay. Terry responded by writing an op-ed, sharply criticizing his son and saying, "He is no longer welcome in my home."
On Thursday, both Jamiel and Randall Terry gave extraordinary interviews to Beliefnet editor Paul O'Donnell. In his interview, Jamiel explains that he wrote the article because "I wanted my father to see I'm not going to hell," but says that he still loves his father. Below, Randall says that Jamiel is "bringing great sadness to our home and embarrassment to our family."
How did you find out about Jamiel's article?
Four weeks ago he told me they had contacted him, and he was entertaining the idea.
He told me he approached them with an email.
Yeah, but that's not what he told me. I found that out yesterday.
Do you understand his reasons for publishing it?
Well they shift from day to day, so what are the ones you heard?
He said it was part of his own journey, part of his own acceptance of his homosexuality. I guess he also wanted to be an example to other people who grew up in his situation.
I don't accept that. I know that if he had wanted to do that, he would have done it without going after the money that was given to him on the basis of my name.
What effect do you think this has on your name, or on you?
I think that it garners sympathy for me. But that's not the point. The point is that it is a betrayal of family dignity and family boundaries for money. He gave CNN pictures of our family. That's just unbelievable to me.

- Title
- The relationship between church branding and church members' perceived benefits
- Author(s)
- Mulyanegara, Riza Casidy
- Abstract
- There are mixed opinions in the literature in regards of the appropriateness, relevance, and significance of church branding in the context of church participation. This study developed and applied 'perceived brand orientation' construct in church context and examine its impact on perceived benefits associated with church services. The results indicate that 'perceived brand orientation' is significantly related to 'perceived social benefits' and 'perceived spiritual benefits'. This study highlights the importance of being brand-oriented in order to attract members' participation. Relevant implications for church leaders and non-profit researchers are also identified.

The Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve are located to the South-East of Alaska. Inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List since 1992, the site joined a collection of nature reserves (Wrangell – St Elias / Kluane) already under protection since 1979.
The Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve extends to 500 m below sea level. The Alsek River, which flows into the Tatshenshini in Canada, is one of the few river systems to empty into the coastal chain from the subarctic interior.
Glacier Bay, a fjord stretching 105 km, has witnessed four major glacial advances and retreats in recent geological times. Two centuries ago, the bay was entirely occupied by the Grand Pacific Glacier. Its retreat of approximately 95 km in 200 years led to the emergence of 20 glaciers, of which 16 descend to the sea.
The site enjoys a maritime climate with cool wet summers and mild wet winters. Finally, the area is home to 28 species of land mammals, 210 species of land and sea birds and over 237 species of fish. The region's endangered species include the humpback whale and the peregrine falcon.
Jaeger-LeCoultre invites you to discover the photo essays and videos on the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve from 4th November on The New York Times website.

Habitat Conditions
Dams and Levees
The greatest impoundment influence within the South Grand River Watershed is Truman Reservoir which is impounded by Truman Dam located near Warsaw, Missouri and impounds 39% of the original South Grand River (MDNR 2002b). Initially authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1954 under the name of Kaysinger Bluff Reservoir for the purpose of flood control; the project purpose was later modified by the Flood Control Act of 1962 to include hydroelectric power generation and recreation (USACOE 1980). The project was designated Harry S Truman Dam and Reservoir in 1970. Completed in 1979, Truman Reservoir has a multipurpose pool elevation of 706 feet above mean sea level (msl) and a surface area of 55,600 acres (approximately 20,392 acres in the South Grand River Watershed) (USACOE 2002). The Flood control pool of Truman is 739.6 feet above msl with a surface area of 209,300 acres (approximately 76,356 acres in the South Grand River Watershed) making it the largest flood control reservoir in Missouri. At flood control pool, the waters of Truman Reservoir inundate over 30 miles of the remaining South Grand River extending upstream past Urich, Missouri (Figure Hc01).
Section 236.400 of the Missouri Revised Statutes defines a dam as "any artificial or manmade barrier which does or may impound water, and which impoundment has or may have a surface area of fifteen or more acres of water at the water storage elevation, or which is thirty-five feet or more in height from the natural bed of the stream or watercourse measured at the downstream toe of the barrier or dam, if it is not across a streambed or watercourse, together with appurtenant works" (MGA 2000a).
The Dam Safety Law of 1979 established a "Dam and Reservoir Safety Council" associated with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR 2000d and MGA 2000a). The responsibility of this council is to ".carry out a state program of inspection of dams and reservoirs in accordance with regulations adopted by the council" (MGA 2000b). The MDNR Dam and Reservoir Safety Program operates under the guidance of the council. The program is responsible for regulating all new and existing non-federal, non-agricultural dams which have a height of 35 feet or greater in order to ensure that these structures meet minimum safety standards. In order to facilitate this, the program maintains a database on over 4,000 dams within the state to be used by private owners, professional engineers, mining companies, emergency management officials, educational institutions, other government agencies, as well as private individuals (MDNR 2000e). This database includes permitted dams as well as some dams which don't require a permit.
Within the South Grand River Watershed in Missouri, there are currently 129 dams which have records within the Dam and Reservoir Safety Program Database (Figure Hc01) (MDNR 2000f). Nearly all of these are reinforced earth structures with heights ranging from 10 to 64 feet. Impoundment surface areas range from 0 to 1,700 acres. The largest of these, 1,700 acre Montrose Lake located on Deepwater Creek, is owned by Kansas City Power and Light.
In an effort to further determine the presence of significant dam and reservoir structures within the watershed, analysis was performed on National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) GIS data for the watershed. Data was analyzed based on all diked/impounded waters within 100 feet of third order (Strahler) and larger stream segments. This method yielded 469 potentially significant diked/impounded sites. The largest of these sites was 1,435 acres; with the smallest being 0.04 acres (Table Hc01). It is estimated that 229 of these structures are in-stream, based on analysis of their spatial relationship to the 1:24,000 hydrography layer.
Levee construction can have detrimental effects on a stream system. Levees can physically create bottlenecks in the flood plain. This can increase flooding and deposition upstream of the levee and increase flow velocities, flooding, and erosion downstream. Levees also reduce or eliminate connectivity to seasonal wetlands in the floodplain. This can eliminate nursery areas for fish as well as habitat for waterfowl and riparian oriented species. Levees associated with fourth order and larger streams within the South Grand River Watershed were located and plotted using GIS through analysis of USGS 1:24,000 scale topographic Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) maps. Through this analysis, it was determined that approximately 42 miles of levees associated with the flood plains of fourth order and larger streams occur in the watershed (Figure Hc01). Most of these levees are located in the agricultural areas of the Lower South Grand and Big Creek flood plains with some occurring within the flood control pool of Truman Reservoir (739.6 feet).
Channel Alterations
Alterations of stream channels by human activity can take several forms including channelization, channel constriction through bridge construction, raising of the base level of the stream by improper construction of low-water bridges sand and gravel removal, etc. All of these activities can adversely affect stream habitat as well as water quality and thus the health of riparian and aquatic communities.
Channelization of a stream involves the straightening, deepening, and/or widening of the stream channel. Frequently, stream channels, in their natural states, have a complex morphology composed of meanders, riffles, and pools. The meanders of a stream help to dissipate the streams energy. A meandering stream also allows surface and ground water within a drainage to be released gradually relative to a straight stream thus allowing for better maintained base flows during dry periods. Channelizing can have several direct and indirect negative effects. These include shortening of the stream, increasing channel gradient of the channelized segment, loss of well defined riffles and pools, increased erosion including headcutting upstream of the channelized segment, increased deposition and flooding downstream of the channelized segment, lowering of the flood plain water table, and a loss of habitat diversity to name a few (Bolton and Shellberg 2001). These impacts can spread to other streams within the respective watershed as well. The aforementioned impacts not only negatively effect aquatic habitats and biotic communities, but can also be damaging to property both up and downstream due to the potential for increased erosion and flooding in these areas respectively.
Estimates based on analysis of National Wetlands Inventory data indicate that approximately 172 miles of channelized streams exist within the South Grand River Watershed (Figure Hc01). The majority of these streams are located in the Middle South Grand and Lower Big Creek hydrologic units. The longest channelized stream sections occur on the main stems of the South Grand River and Big Creek. Channelization of the South Grand occurred between 1914 and 1919 in an effort to drain local wetlands and prevent flooding of agricultural land (Gosnell 2002). Today, approximately 44% of the original main stem of the South Grand is channelized while 39% is inundated by Truman Reservoir (MDNR 2002b). An effect of the South Grand channelization is evidenced by deeply incised road ditches flowing into the South Grand. In addition to the aforementioned channelization, smaller channelization projects have probably occurred on private property and also from road and bridge construction elsewhere in the watershed.
Improper bridge design which alters the normal flow pattern of a stream can also negatively impact a stream. Bridges can restrict stream flow especially at high flows, reducing flow velocities upstream of the bridge, thus increasing sedimentation. They can also increase velocities downstream of the bridge, thus increasing scour/erosion. Improperly designed low-water bridges can alter the base level (that level below which a stream cannot erode) of a stream, thus altering the stream gradient. They can also act as a dam, backing up water behind them and increasing sedimentation on the upstream side. In addition, improperly constructed low-water bridges can act as a barrier to fish movement. According to the Draft Missouri Department of Transportation 2004-2008 Highway and Bridge Construction Schedule, there are currently (2003) four state highway projects tentatively planned which involve drainage and/or bridge construction scheduled within the watershed from 2004-2008 (MDT 2003).
Gravel mining can also directly and indirectly contribute to channel alterations as well as water quality problems. The negative impacts of improper gravel mining have been shown to include channel deepening, sedimentation of downstream habitats, accelerated bank erosion, channel shift, the lowering of the flood plain water table, and the formation of a wider and shallower channel which can result in increased temperature extremes (Roell 1999). The MDNR Incidents of Mines, Occurrences and Prospects Database records four sand and gravel mining sites within the South Grand River Watershed all of which are designated as "Past Producers". This would seem to indicate that this type of activity is not prevalent within the watershed.
Many types of activities involving streams and wetlands such as the filling of wetlands, placement of roadfills, construction of dams and the construction of cable or pipeline crossing, just to name a few, require permitting from the COE when they involve "waters of the United States". Additional information regarding the COE Regulatory Program, as well as activities requiring COE permits can be found at http://www.swl.usace.army.mil/regulatory/index.html.
Beginning in 2001, a series of logjams on the South Grand River were removed (MDC Internal File). These logjams, the largest of which was determined to be over a half mile long and located near Urich, Missouri; were believed to be causing flooding upstream (MDC, Internal Memorandum).
Natural Features
The Missouri Natural Heritage Database was created through a cooperative effort between the Missouri Department of Conservation, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, and the Nature Conservancy in 1981. The purpose of the database is to "identify species and natural communities of special concern within the state and to help establish protection priorities" (MDC 2003). The database, which is updated frequently via input from field biologists, the Missouri Natural Features Inventory, universities, herbaria, museums, scientific literature, and other organizations; is a dynamic representation of the occurrence of many natural features in Missouri. Currently the database contains 157 features for the South Grand River Watershed (MNHP 2003). These include 21 examples of 10 types of natural communities, all of which are classified as terrestrial communities (Table Hc01). Dry-Mesic Limestone/Dolomite Prairies are the most commonly recorded community in the watershed accounting for 5 records within the database. Limestone glades are the second most commonly recorded community with 4 records. While no communities classified as "aquatic" have been inventoried within the watershed, some examples of wetland communities and bottomland forests which are important to aquatic communities have been. These include 1 example each of a freshwater marsh, mesic bottomland forest, and wet-mesic bottomland forest.
A detailed description of the previously mentioned terrestrial natural communities can be found in The Terrestrial Natural Communities of Missouri by Nelson (1987), while a detailed description of Missouri's aquatic communities can be found in Aquatic Community Classification System for Missouri by Pflieger (1989).
Undoubtedly more examples of natural features exist within the watershed. However, due to many circumstances including the limited access to private land and the large land area involved, many features may be as yet unrecorded. Therefore, while the previous listing of features does provide a good cross section of the types of communities which can be found within the watershed, it should not be regarded as final or comprehensive.
Stream Improvement Projects
There are currently two stream habitat improvement projects within the South Grand River Watershed. On Settles Ford Conservation Area, 3 grade control structures have been installed on Peter Creek and 2 grade control structures have been installed in the old channel of the South Grand River (McQuillen, personal communication). Another project, on the upper South Grand
River in Cass County, includes a low water crossing, 2 floodplain wells/livestock waterers, and riparian fencing (Lanigan, personal communication).
Stream Habitat Assessment
Perhaps one of the more difficult attributes of a watershed to attempt to quantify is stream habitat. This is due to the fact that there are several dynamic characteristics which make up stream habitat. To evaluate all of these characteristics individually and accurately for an entire watershed, is a monumental task and beyond the scope of this document. Thus, the next best thing is to evaluate a characteristic that has the most impact on all aspects of stream habitat. This is, arguably, riparian corridor land cover/land use. Riparian corridor land cover affects many aspects of stream habitat. These include, but are not limited, to water temperature, turbidity, nutrient loading, sediment deposition, in-stream cover, flow, channel width, and channel stability. These in turn have effects on still other characteristics of stream habitat such as dissolved oxygen, cover, spawning areas, etc.
Evaluation of riparian corridor land cover/land use within the South Grand River Watershed was accomplished using Missouri Resource Assessment Partnership Land Cover Data (morapmd.wpd). A buffer zone 3 pixels (90 meters) wide was created which corresponded to a 1:24,000 hydrography coverage for the watershed. Percent land use for each stream segment was then calculated. Land cover/land use categories included forest, wetland, grassland,
cropland, urban, and water. Percentages of these categories were then calculated for riparian corridors within each drainage unit as well as for the whole watershed.
Results from the South Grand River Watershed indicate that riparian corridor land cover consists of more grassland/cropland (60.4%) than forest/wetland (37.5%). Percentages for the remaining categories of urban and water are 0.1% and 1.9% respectively. Of the 12 eleven digit hydrologic units within the watershed, the Truman Reservoir-South Grand Unit has the highest combined percentage of forest/wetland corridor land cover at 48.9%. It also ranks as having the lowest combined percentage of grassland/cropland corridor land cover at 48.1%. On the other end of the spectrum, the Camp Branch Unit has the lowest combined forest/wetland land cover at 29.1% and the highest combined percentage of grassland/cropland at 68.0. Table Hc02 gives riparian corridor land cover/land use percentages for all eleven digit hydrologic units within the watershed as well as percentages for the total watershed. Figure Hc02 presents a graphic representation of riparian corridor land cover for all drainage units within the watershed. It is important to note that National Wetlands Inventory data as well as anecdotal evidence suggests that the percentage of watershed area in wetlands is substantially higher than the land cover data indicates. This is especially true in the lower portions of the South Grand River and Big Creek (Bayless, Personal Communication)
In addition to analysis of riparian corridor within hydrologic units, riparian corridor land cover was analyzed for all fourth order (Horton) and larger streams within the watershed. Results of a comparison of combined forest/wetland to combined grassland/cropland land cover for fourth order and larger streams, indicates that 12 out of 48 streams have corridors with larger combined percentages of grassland/cropland than forest/wetland. The Newberry Branch corridor has the highest percentage of grassland/cropland at 75.1% while the Tebo Creek corridor has the highest percentage of forest/wetland at 85.2%. The South Grand River corridor has combined percentages of forest and wetland at 70.3% and combined grassland cropland at 20.5%. Results for the remaining fourth order and larger streams are given in Table Hc03.
Wetlands are a valuable resource within watersheds. Wetlands help to filter out sediment and other non-point source pollutants before overland runoff reaches streams. Wetlands adjacent to rivers and streams also provide nursery habitat for young fish and amphibians as well as habitat for a variety of other animals including waterfowl and songbirds.
Analysis of MoRAP (1999) Missouri land cover data and KARS (1993) Kansas land cover data indicates that approximately 0.1% of the South Grand River Watershed is in wetlands. Wetland land cover within the riparian corridor in the watershed is slightly higher at 0.2 %. The 1998 Missouri Unified Watershed Assessment indicates a substantially higher percentage of watershed acreage in wetlands in the watershed at 6.6% and lists a loss of wetlands at 0.1% between 1982 and 1992. The percentage of wetlands provided in the Missouri Unified Watershed Assessment is based on USDA-NRCS 1982 and 1992 National Resources Inventory (NRI) data, not the same data as the previously mentioned riparian corridor landcover analysis.

I was told that my recent short story I sent to a contest is too heavy on profanity and gore. I just can't see the part where I went overboard. But if you can, then please let me know.
http://www.Writing.Com/main/view_item/i ... n-the-Edge
Maybe I'm too used to stories like gantz and beserk, where gore is natural.
The judge stopped reading at the barmaid part. I'm unable to see the bad bit.
I hope linking the story is alright. If it's not, then feel free to remove it!

Video: Did the President wait too long to take action against Syria
Video: Va. Senator Tim Kaine (D) talks about Syria
WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Ahead of his address to the nation, President Obama is now, according to several Senators, asking the Senate to delay a vote on a Congressional resolution authorizing force.
The President spent over an hour meeting with both Republican and Democratic caucuses, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid now says there's no artificial deadline to vote on a resolution authorizing a military attack on Syria over its alleged use of chemical weapons on its own people.
"Over the last 24 hours, we've had remarkable changes in what people are talking about. Let's see what happens," says Reid.
Syria's Foreign Minister says his country will give up it's chemical weapons and sign a treaty banning their possession.
There's a lot of hope in Congress that the United States can avoid military action. But not much trust in the Russians... or the Syrians.
"If we can do it though, and get verification, then that's fine," says Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md). But it shouldn't delay us from giving the President the tools he needs to make the world safer.
A little delay is exactly what West Virginia's Joe Manchin is looking for. 45 days in a war resolution for the Syrian's to give up their chemical weapons. "The Syrians say they accepted," says Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV). "The Russians say they offered. Their words are on the line."
Virginia Senator Tim Kaine says it was the President's threat of force that brought the Syrians this far.
"Whole lot of Virginians, a whole lot of Americans are hoping this is a breakthrough. Is this a breakthrough?" I asked Kaine. "We'll see. But I will tell you, if we can accomplish this, we won't be just avoiding something bad. This would be something positive."
Perhaps it would guarantee that Bashar Assad can never again attack civilians with chemical weapons.

Bret Hart bashes WWE
During a recent interview, Bret Hart was asked about his niece Natalya Neidhart. Not surprisingly, he stated that she has been the best diva in WWE for quite some time now. He also feels that the front office does not show enough respect to the female performers in the company. Hart echoes the statement of many on social media by saying that the girls should be allowed more in ring time so that they can show the fans what they can really do.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) - Now that former Montgomery County Executive Doug Duncan is running for his old seat, political leaders in the suburban Washington County are waiting to see what current County Executive Ike Leggett will do.
The 67-year-old Leggett initially said he wouldn't run, but now says he won't make up his mind until early next year.
Duncan left office to run for governor in 2006, but ended that bid when he was diagnosed with depression. He was popular during his 12 years in office. However, political observers say the county has changed, adding 90,000 voters. And the 2010 census showed minorities now account for nearly 51 percent of residents.
And political observers told The Baltimore Sun (http://bsun.md/Xlx8Tu) that a Duncan-Leggett Democratic primary could force candidates for statewide office to pick sides.

The Role of Hospice
Hospice of West Tennessee is a non-profit service offering a total support system to patients and families dealing with life-limiting illness. Quality of life--the emphasis of Hospice--is achieved through treatment of physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of each patient and family with primary focus on patient comfort.
Offering hospice service since 1986, Hospice of West Tennessee provides care without regard to patient's ability to pay. Most Hospice care is provided in the home; however, respite and acute care is also available.
Hospice of West Tennessee is led by a team of various professionals--nurses, therapists, dietitians, pharmacists, chaplains, volunteers, and a physician, who is board-certified in pallative (end of life) care.
Hospice is about building relationships and support for families. During a very meaningful and critical time, when people need to make crucial end-of-life decisions, Hospice of West Tennessee becomes an important piece in the delivery of quality, compassionate care. At Hospice of West Tennessee, we assist in managing the medical delivery of palliative care, implementing the psychological skills of a counselor; plus facilitating family relationship--this is the hallmark of a quality hospice program.
When Someone Needs Hospice . . .
Anyone can make a referral for a friend or loved one who needs Hospice by making a telephone call or visit to the Hospice central office. Through this important first step, approval can be obtained from the patient's primary physician.
To make a referral or obtain additional information:731-664-4220 or 1-800-286-5717FAX: 731-664-4231

So I called him and he offered me," he said. "I was real surprised. I was excited and happy to get an offer from the Orange Bowl champions." ...More...

Smartphones and tablets could one day become as essential to medicine as stethoscopes and thermometers.
With that future in mind, 30 UC Irvine medical students joined forces with 100 Computer Science students for the university's first Med App Jam. Eighteen teams competed to develop apps for the iPhone and iPad. The winners were announced last week, with the top award going to Life Buoy, which allows users in a natural disaster to find relief centers or request prescription refills.
Dr. Ralph Clayman, dean of the Medical School , said as medicine becomes more mobile, patients will use their devices to communicate with their doctors beyond what was once limited to the exam room.
"They're going to carry their doctor around with them all the time," Clayman said.
Medical student Jonathan Lin worked on an app called Spot Doc, which allows patients to send a photo of a suspicious mole to a dermatologist for further review.
"We wanted it more as a link between them – getting the patient to see the doctor rather than be the doctor," Lin said.
Another patient-centric app allows parents to easily track their baby's height, weight and head circumference, all in pink or blue.
For doctors, apps ranged from a tool for reporting near medical mistakes to hospital administrators to decoding shorthand notes and abbreviations into understandable sentences in a chart.
The students, who logged hours and hours of their own extracurricular time, will have the option of putting their apps on iTunes, although some would need to do more work.
Medical student Brenton Alexander plans to test the success of his project Saturday when he volunteers at a clinic in Valle Redondo, Mexico.
About a year ago, the Flying Samaritans group stopped transporting 450 medical files across the border and attempted a shift to electronic medical records. There are existing apps that can easily create records, but none that could work in the area's technological isolation. Without electricity, Wi-Fi or 3G cellphone access, the volunteers improvised with a spreadsheet transmitted by Bluetooth.
But the makeshift system frequently crashed, and the spreadsheet was not user-friendly or intuitive.
"It's been mayhem," Alexander said. "It hasn't worked out at all."
The new app, called Global EMR, uses a standard medical form with pull-down options and will repopulate a patient's information at every visit. It also is bilingual.
"Other people who are normally dealing with all this hassle will be able to spend time with patients," Alexander said. "We took all the problems we ever had with this and fixed them all here."
The team of six, including four computer Science students, spent about 80 hours developing the app, which was awarded second place.
Medical student Kambria Nguyen worked on the third-place winner, HappierU. The app helps mental health patients rate their daily moods, along with an explanation if desired, to share with their doctors. The app also includes a reminder to take medication and provides resources, including suicide prevention.
"It's an easy way for patients to take care of themselves," Nguyen said. "Everyone has their phone and it's really quick and easy to track their mood."

sienna got to mechanic in 5 minutes by joey the tow truck driver. mechanic did a thorough look over and repaired a leaky hose, inserted spark plugs and added a quart of oil. i drove the van back to the dealership service dept and i parked it right in front of my service writers window/doorway. i left it running. i was back to this spot within 45 minutes of towing it away from there. i said will you please tell me why you said my motor was shot? i asked him why wasn't the recalled part covered for the tow bill and all these costs and he said because i already had the recall work done. i said you guys put a heater hose on a high-pressure oil system. he called the police on me. manager blew me off. what is there to do. i have driven 30,000 miles since without any issues.February 2014
my 2007 toyota sienna had the same issue with the oil pump hose exploding. van towed to dealer, dealer tells me motor is blown and it will be $5500. i already had them fix it once and it kept exploding. come to find out all they did was put a 2" rubber hose from a heater hose on the oil line. this replacement part is not even in their computer as a part to buy at the counter. my pal owns a tow truck so he met me at the dealership to pick up the van and take it for a 2nd opinion before we sink $5500 in to it. when joey the mechanic arrived he noticed 2 plugs out and laying on widshield.joey got the keys and inserted them to unlock wheel but he accidentally turned the keys all the over in to start position and the damn van started right up. and that is with only 4 plugs in it. the dealer just told joey and i that motor was locked up/shot. van runs great. dealer terrible.any input?February 2014

Landover, MD (Sports Network) - Washington Redskins quarterback Robert
Griffin III left Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons after taking a hard
hit to the head.
Facing a 3rd-and-3 at the Atlanta 3-yard line, Griffin took the snap in
the shotgun and went around the right end, heading for the sideline. He went
into a slide and was hit in the head by Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon.
Griffin sat up and walked off the field under his own power, but was escorted
to the locker room to be evaluated for concussion symptoms.
Rookie Kirk Cousins took over under center on the Redskins next offensive
