Section Editor(s): Brenner, Barry M.; Weir, Matthew R.; Blantz, Roland C.; Cooper, Mark; Thomas, Merlin
Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension was launched in 1992. It is part of a successful series of review journals whose unique format is designed to provide a systematic and critical assessment of the literature as presented in the many primary journals. The field of nephrology and hypertension is divided into 12 sections that are each reviewed once a year. Each section is assigned a Section Editor, a leading authority in the area, who identifies the most important topics at that time.

When it comes to precious data there's not much that can match the importance of our digital photos. Whether it be images of that amazing holiday you took with your friends, memories of a wedding day, or the records of your progeny as they grow up, those photos are invaluable and irreplaceable.
Backing them up is more than a good idea, as the thought of a hard disk crash or burglary robbing you of more than just your computer is a horrifying one. Of course you can burn digital photos to a DVD, copy the entire photo library to a flash drive or external hard disk (all of which you should do anyway) but if you then store those copies next to your computer, fire or flood could still destroy everything in one go. Thankfully there are plenty of affordable options for backing your files up in the cloud.
Flickr has long been a popular site with those wanting to store and share their photographs online. Membership is free and you can upload 300MB of photos every month. There are a few limitations though. You can only view your last 200 uploads, even though the others are safely stored. Paying for a pro account (around £16 per year) means you can store an unlimited amount, which also includes videos - still a very good deal.
You may have also heard of Photobucket and Smugmug which offer similar services. But if your needs don't require a photo-specific service (and your library is a modest size), then the various free storage options offered by Dropbox, Microsoft's SkyDrive, Box, Amazon's Cloud Drive, and Google Drive can be a handy way to add peace of mind.
Many of these services offer up to 5GB of online storage for free, and as the average size of compact camera and smartphone images is around 2-3MB, this would allow you space for around 2,000 of your favourite photos and still leave a bit of room for a few documents. The best part is that you can access your photos wherever you are, as long as you have an internet connection.
Of course you could even back up the same - or different - photos to multiple services for extra security or extra free storage respectively. As most people have a Google account we'll explain how to use the Google Drive online storage facility to back up your images and bask in the glory of a job well done.
A word of warning: make sure you copy - rather than move - your photos into the Google Drive folder. This will create duplicate copies on your hard disk, but it's worth using the extra space. If you don't do this, you'll effectively have only one copy of each photo. If you (or someone) accidentally deletes this on the Google Drive website, the deletion will be mirrored in your local Google Drive folder and the photo will be gone.
How to save your photos to Google Drive
1. Visit www.google.com/drive and, if necessary, create an account by clicking on the Sign Up button. If you already use any Google services, such as YouTube, Gmail, or Google Calendar, then you should use your existing account details to log in to Drive. Google unified all accounts last year to make things a bit simpler for its users.
2. Now you will be presented with the Drive screen which shows all the files you have stored online. Before we can continue though you'll need to download the Google Drive app itself. There's a link under the menu column on the left hand side which says Download Google Drive. Click this, accept the Terms of Service and let the program install.
3. Sign back into Drive when prompted by the pop-up box, and then click on the option to Start Sync that will appear in another pop up box. This will mean that the online files you place in Drive will also be synched with the Drive folder on your PC, so you can access them even if you are offline.
4. Once your new Drive folder is synched up you'll see a message telling you that you can now start moving files. The newly opened Explorer window will show Google Drive as a regular system folder, so now just drag or copy your photos straight into the Drive folder as you normally would on your hard drive. However…
5. …before doing this, it's a good idea to create a Pictures folder within your Google Driver folder to keep things neat. Right-click as you would in any Windows folder, choose New and then Folder from the menu that appears. You can then copy your photos to this folder - they can be in folders and subfolders: the structure will be preserved in Google Drive.
6. Any files placed in the local Google Drive folder will automatically sync with the online version. This may take some time if you've copied all your photos at once. You can monitor the progress by clicking on the Drive logo in the taskbar or returning to the browser where your images will slowly start to appear.

Thanks to the impressive advances in mobile technology many people now use their smartphone as their primary camera. A bonus of this is that there are several services which offer the ability for your iOS, Android and, to a lesser extent, Windows Phone 8 hansdet to automatically send copies of your photos to their web storage facility.
Google+ is one, Flickr's excellent new app allows a similar functionality, as does one of our long term favourites in the online realm - Dropbox.
To set up this very useful feature visit www.dropbox.com and signup for a free account. You'll be given a complimentary 2GB to start with but you can earn more space by recommending the service to friends or on social networks.
Signing up to the syncing photos online option gives you an additional 3GB of free storage, which will be enough to protect a very healthy amount of snaps.
Now simply download the app to your smartphone, turn on photo syncing (being sure to set the preferences to uploading over Wi-Fi only, thus avoiding a nasty shock when your next phone bill arrives) and you're done. Each time you take a photo from now on they will be marked for upload when you reach a Wi-Fi connection.
If you install Dropbox on your PC, Mac, or Linux machine (one of the reasons we love Dropbox is the platform neutral nature of the service), then the photos will also appear there automatically, meaning you have multiple copies on different servers and devices.

GRAND RAPIDS -- A Grand Rapids parent complained to the school board tonight she was not notified about an incident involving her 6-year-old that led to a police report being filed.
Carmencita Perdomo would not talk about what allegedly happened to her child Feb. 22 at Southwest Community Campus School, but that therapy was required.
"What other reports have been filed that parents aren't aware of?" asked Perdomo, a foreclosure counselor. "Parents should be notified automatically if the police are involved.''
Perdomo said not only was a report filed with the police but with Child Protective Services and the Child Assessment Center. She said the school's administration first denied there was an incident when confronted, until she showed them the police report.
She said she became aware there was an incident on Feb. 24, after a friend at the assessment center recognized her child's name. She said the school's administrators said they withheld the information because they didn't want to upset her.
"It troubles me when people are accused of things in a public forum," said Taylor, about comments made about school administrators, including the principal. "There are two sides to every story."
Taylor told the board there are extenuating circumstances pertaining to the incident.
John Helmholdt, district spokesman, said the district believes it's inappropriate to give a public response on private matters involving children and their families.

Olympic gold-medallist Lisa Carrington led from the front as the New Zealand team made three A finals on the first day of the Canoe Sprint World Cup in the Czech Republic overnight.
Carrington was the fastest to make the final in the K1 500, while Teneale Hatton and Rachael Dodwell won their se mifinal in the K2 500 and Ben Fouhy finished second in his K1 1000 semifinal to also earn a final spot.
The three Kiwi crews will race for the medals between 8.30pm and 9pm tonight, before the women turn their attention to the 200m sprint races and Fouhy and Hatton also line up in the 5km endurance event.
The second World Cup kicked off with a sunny day in Racice but, with a steady 18km/h headwind, fast times were not on the agenda. Carrington began the day with a second-place finish in her heat, before winning the fastest semifinal by 0.3 seconds to earn top lane in the final, a meritorious result in what is not her favoured distance.
Shortly after, Hatton and Dodwell started with a relatively poor heat but the pair soon got their act together to also win their semifinal, though the winners of the heats had already advanced directly to the final.
It was still an impressive performance from the newly-formed crew, racing together this season for the first time after Hatton went to the London Olympics in a solo boat.
Fouhy also had the bit between the teeth, lining up and winning his heat in a very controlled manner. He finished behind world record holder Max Hoff of Germany in his semifinal, coming up trumps in the battle for one of three final places available.
Meanwhile, the men's K4 team split into two K2 crews for the regatta, both of whom earned berths in the B final. The crew of Jasper Bats and Darryl Fitzgerald were only short of an A final spot by 1.1 seconds, while Jarrod Fitzgerald and Zac Quickenden will join their compatriots in tonight's B final.

This is an open letter to all the future generations in America, the greatest country on this planet.
I want to apologize and tell you how truly sorry that we have let the lying, corrupt and greedy politicians take this great country to the brink of total collapse.
A filthy black cloud of greed is covering America, the beautiful, and the greatest country in the world, founded by our forefathers on Christian principles.
Greed is rampant in all parts of our society, the health care industry, drug companies, etc. The unions, the entertainment, and sports, you will find greed everywhere.
There are points of light in this black cloud. the Tea Party is one trying to make elected politicians accountable to be honest and willing to serve the taxpayer, not the taxpayer to serve them.
Another point of light is the church community teaching morality, respect and love for our neighbors.
Yes we can change the direction our country is going, one way is time limits on all elected politicians, privatize more government agencies, reduce the size of government, stop all wasteful spending, put all politicians on our social security and health care plan.
God Bless America!

The so-called congressional supercommittee charged with recommending how to reduce federal spending by just 3 percent has failed.
Now it remains to be seen whether a bipartisan group of lawmakers, with Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., as its leaders, can stage a rescue.
For weeks, 12 members of the House of Representatives and Senate negotiated over the budget deficit.
In order to placate tens of millions of Americans disgusted over lack of progress on the budget, Congress gave the "supercommittee" until Thanksgiving to recommend ways to cut $1.2 trillion in deficit spending during a 10-year period. That is $120 billion a year - or about 3 percent of total government spending.
Legislation authorizing the project stipulates that if the panel fails, supposedly automatic spending cuts will be triggered. Those reductions are harsh in some ways; defense experts have warned they would cripple the U.S. military.
And that is why they will not be allowed to go into effect. There is nothing "automatic" about the cuts. Congress ordered them, and Congress can revoke them.
In other words, we are back where we started last summer. Well, not quite. When legislation authorizing the supercommittee was approved, the national debt was $14.3 trillion. It now has topped $15 trillion.
"Failure cannot be accepted," Manchin said recently. He is right.
Far from being satisfied with the $1.2 trillion in cuts the supercommittee was unable to find, Manchin and other conservative Democrats and Republicans want more.
He and Kirk are asking fellow senators to approve a Sense of the Senate resolution calling for $4 trillion in cuts during a 10-year period.
"It can't be about, 'Are you a good Democrat or a good Republican?' You have to put your politics aside," Manchin urged. He added more leadership from Obama is needed.
Again, Manchin is right - but total failure is on the horizon. We urge him to make every effort to form a coalition with the power and determination to avoid that.

Appreciates upkeep of township roads
To the editor:
Butler Township Roads - Having experienced extended harsh cold temps this past winter, our area roads were damaged more severely than normal. This spring as in recent years past, the Butler Township Road Department promptly repaired the damage as the weather dictated with minimal equipment, and using their tapering technique producing the smoothest roadway repair possible.
I think the state, other counties, municipalities, and townships could learn a lot about how to properly repair potholes and road edge shoulder damage by checking out their work.
Kudos for a job well done Butler Township Road Department!

Obama dismantling our government
To the editor:
The Obama Administration treated us to a Rose Garden event unparalleled in its arrogance and symbolic malevolence toward all that America represents. As the co-opted and simpering American press watched, the President exploited the distraught parents of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, and hailed Bergdahl's release from the clutches of the jihadists who held him for five years in exchange for the unleashing of five notoriously dedicated terrorists, all fat and sassy straight out of Gitmo, upon the world scene.
But what America really witnessed was President Obama's continuing deliberate and traitorous dismantling of three of our four fundamental elements of national power: diplomacy, information and the military. The fourth element is economy, and if we try, we could likely make a case for that as well.
The tortured decision-making that led to the release of five prime enemies, who were each made fit and combat-ready compliments of the U.S. tax-payers, flies in the face of logic and of the U.S. national interest. Yet it follows a long pattern of policies favoring militant Islam over United States and world safety.
The Muslim Brotherhood long ago infiltrated our nation's capital, coming to settle in key executive branch advisory and appointed positions. The Muslim brotherhood, whose operatives now influence so many policy-level decision-makers across this administration, in fact are the ideological soulmates of the jihadis who captured Bergdahl.
The Obama administration used Qatar, a Taliban supporter and home-away-from-home for Yousef al-Qaradawi, the senior jurist of the Muslim Brotherhood, as a go-between to negotiate with the Taliban and Haqqanis. The Brotherhood influence was never more evident than in the Rose Garden act of prime time symbolic surrender, and very likely helped shape the terms of the GITMO detainee release.
That same influence was also at work in the days leading up to and during the Benghazi massacre, when four Americans were sacrificed to the jihad and to the overarching demands of the 2012 Presidential campaign. Jihad is alive and well in Washington, D.C.
The Sunday Rose Garden drama was a national tragedy: a clinic in strategic psychological operations. It was an Islamist demonstration of the level of control they exercise over the governance of the United States, through this president and his key advisors.
It is time for the American citizens to condemn the dismantling of our military while upgrading the militant forces of the jihadists.
We must condemn the media for its culpability in the active dis-informing and demoralizing of the American people.
We must also condemn the deliberate dismantling of American diplomatic image, credibility, and its hard-won standing as a bona fide champion for good around the world for the past century.
It is time for our senior military officers, in uniform and retired, to step up to the plate and be counted. Just as many of their warrior privates have done in these past days as they witness the daily dismantling of the Republic that has granted them the "special trust and confidence" of the American people.
We must vote "no confidence" in this administration and in its destructive policies.

The destruction of America continues
To the editor:
The donkey scat is scrambling to distract all of American and its time for "hope and change." Why? Because you need a choice. Not what the Democrats and their bureaucracy have forced upon us and lie to us about. A screaming boob for a Senate Majority leader who has nothing in common with America is aligned with the most destructive president ever known. Democrats rant and rave, they pontificate, procrastinate and pander, they strut and preen. Are you better off? Are you working? Is your American dream now just to stay alive in a world of socialist chaos? Perhaps you need to align with those who want America to succeed?
The media is full of the distractions of the Democrat talking points not the scandals and betrayal perpetrated by the Democrat. Do you actually believe that donkey excrement that the corruption doesn't really exist? That all decisions made by one man has made America stronger here and abroad?
If the progressive agenda is so wonderful why are 90 million out of work? Why is our nation's GDP at a negative? Why are the jobs being offered low paying and low skilled? Why do we need more H1 visas? Why is the American southern border flooded with the children of South American countries? How many rogue nations now plan to kidnap American citizens/soldiers to see what they can squeeze out of this Democrat government. Why has the EPA implementing policy that will close down coal fired power plants? America's northeast was one power plant away from a black out this last winter. Why are we in such sad shape with little hope?
The Democrats have done much to diminish America on the domestic front and internationally. Driven into debt (that pesky $17-plus trillion again) enslaving America's future generations and the Democrat believe the abortion industry has precedence over religious freedom. What future generations if the abortion industry expands? To buy votes it's free cheese, cell phones, welfare, and an educational system designed to fail. The demise of America is almost certain.

Queensbay Mall is a shopping mall situated in Penang, Malaysia. It is in the heart of the Queensbay development, formerly known as Bayan Bay before it was abandoned during the East Asian financial crisis. At that time, the mall was referred to as Bayan World Megamall. At present, it is the largest shopping mall in the northern region of Malaysia.
It is currently the largest shopping mall in Penang superseding Gurney Plaza. However, its title of largest shopping mall in Penang may be overtaken by Central Mall in Province Wellesley.
Queensbay Mall opened on December 1, 2006 amidst rumours of shoddy work being done to meet the Christmas season opening. This is the second foray of departmental store tenant JUSCO into the northern region after Kinta City in Ipoh.
Queensbay Mall will be the preferred retail destination and a real shoppers' paradise - with 5 levels of retail and 8 levels of parking, JUSCO as its anchor tenant, 17 junior anchors and more than 500 retail merchants. Several international brands will be opening up their first or flagship outlet in Queensbay Mall.
Besides a well-planned tenant mix, shoppers will enjoy the "low rise walk-through" layout which stretches as far as ½ km with excellent visibility of the shop facade and merchandising displays. All facilities and amenities signages are meticulously planned to enhance the convenience and comfort of the shoppers. The overall interior design and lightings are aimed to create a conducive and safe shopping environment for the whole family. Added to the attractions is the integrated entertainment zone on the third floor that provides a wide range of entertainment and leisure attractions ranging from multiplex to roller skating.

on March 13, 2013 - 12:43 AM
John and Delores Reitmeier had quite the magical love affair, and not just because they were married for almost 69 years.
It was a storybook romance that blossomed in an unlikely location, the West Seneca orphanage. That's where they met while young children in the 1930s and early '40s.
And then in their late teens, Delores Schumacher ran away from the orphanage, crossing Cazenovia Creek late one night, at age 17, to be with her future husband.
He had left at 16, when most boys aged out of an orphanage in those days.
They married at Eastertime in 1944, before he was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge, and they went on to raise eight children, living in the same Town of Tonawanda home for 63 years.
John Reitmeier, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease in the last few years, died peacefully Sunday in his room at the Weinberg Campus in Getzville. He was 87.
"We were very happy, very much in love," Delores Reitmeier said Tuesday. "He always called me 'my love.' "
Not many people can celebrate a romance that lasts 74 years, especially one forged in the tough daily life of an orphanage.
Delores' mother died when she was 1½. She entered St. John's Lutheran Home at 4, with all three of her siblings.
"Our father just took us and dropped us off at the orphanage – all four of us," she recalled. "But we all stayed together."
John Reitmeier came later, at age 9.
Orphanage life could be tough. Getting caught stealing fruit from a nearby orchard meant a nasty dose of castor oil. Other transgressions led to a night sleeping in the shower room. And Delores Reitmeier broke both wrists in a fall while washing the outside windows.
But they had a roof over their heads, and the friendship between two of the kids grew into something more.
"When I was about 13, we kind of planned that we wanted to get married," Delores Reitmeier said. "He got out when he was 16. I ran away one night at midnight, when I was 17."
That meant crossing Cazenovia Creek early in the morning, an adventure that ended with her losing her Bible and a bag of shoes that broke open, both swept away by the current.
She was upset about that, for a moment.
Then she told herself: "Heck, I'm going to a better place."
To this day, the Reitmeier children marvel at their parents' romance.
"It was like opening up a storybook about Cinderella," said one of their daughters, Patricia Banko. "Mom crossed Cazenovia Creek, and my dad was waiting for her on the other side. It was like Cinderella meeting her prince."
John Reitmeier entered the Army during World War II. They married April 23, 1944.
"He was home on leave, and he said, 'We're getting married,' " his wife recalled. "I said OK."
Her new husband returned to the war and was wounded at the Battle of the Bulge, in December 1944 and January 1945. He lost part of an ear and suffered a head wound in an incident his wife said would now be called friendly fire.
After the war, John Reitmeier spent more than 30 years working in the air-conditioning, heating and refrigeration field before he retired in 1978.
He was preceded in death by a daughter, Pamela Warner, who died in 2009.
Survivors, in addition to his wife and daughter Patricia, include four other daughters, Gloria Chassar, Brenda Basher, Joyce Corigliano and Debbie Ailinger; two sons, John and Gary; and two sisters, Edna and Grace Frazzini.
Services will be at 10 a.m. Thursday in Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 2669 Sheridan Drive, Town of Tonawanda.
As family members say goodbye to their husband, father, brother, grandfather and great-grandfather, Delores Reitmeier is trying to look past the last few years when her husband was ill.
"As far as John and I go, we've had a beautiful life," she said.
"We've had a beautiful life together."

Nice music, but Morozov is the choreographer!!
^^^^that would be the problem
Not sure what type of spin Dai will put on this decision but I will have to support him being an uber fan what
else can I do. I will try to be optimist like you deedee and wait until I see this new program. GO DAI!
Didn't Morozov change one of Amodio's programs mid season.
Same here.Originally Posted by demarinis5
And I'm really suprised... of course it's quite the risk to change a programm that late in the season, he will only get to skate it twice anyway. And I liked his SP... Moonlight Sonata is amazing, but Morozov choreographing it is not.
Now all I can think about is Euros, when I saw Amodio skating and all I could think was "man, you're amazing, get another choreographer alreadyyyyyy!!!"... I need to watch Dai's FS from nationals again to remind myself that this is Mr.Dice-K and therefor the only human being capable to even sell crappy, empty, uninspired Morozov choreography to me like it was the best programm ever.
(And I need to avoid watching In the garden of souls.... )
What? Oh why?
While I'm happy to see as many different programs of Daisuke as possible, I really don't know what to think of this. I know I'm in the minority, but I really liked the 50s medley for Daisuke. It worked well for him. I'm not sure what to think. I'd rather have him change his LP. But, oh well...let's wait and see, maybe there will be a true masterpiece ála In the garden of Souls. :D
Moonlight Sonata is sth I would want to see from Daisuke so I m positevely happy for it and cant wait.
MaiKatze - I liked Daisuke's rock 'n roll medley, too, so you're not the only one! I actually liked it better than his free skate.
I am very nervous about this change; so late in the season for a new program! It seems like he won't know this program as well as the others will know theirs - if he skates it at Worlds, it will only be his second time. Moonlight Sonata is beautiful and really has the potential to be a masterpiece, but you have to do it right or it will be boring. I'm not worried about Dai doing it right, because he could sell almost any music. It's Morozov I am worried about doing it right. Dai's such a skating genius, and he deserves amazing choreography. I don't know if Morozov can give that to him. However, I'm determined to remain positive and think about all of the good programs that Morozov did for him (Swan Lake will always be a favorite of mine). I really hope Dai leaves Morozov for the Olympic season - I want the World to see how great he is, and I don't know if he can do that with Morozov as his choreographer. Anyway, I am actually very much looking forward to seeing Dai's new program, and I hope it's a masterpiece
ETA: What if they did a hiphop Moonlight Sonata kind of like Elladje Balde's program?
But I decided long ago not to worry about him too much. At this point of his career, he can do whatever he wants. If Dai himself or his team sees it nessesary to make a change, then, anything will be fine with me. As his fan, I just root for him, trusting and supporting his team's decision.
Here is what I think. Looking at the Mens results so far, I suspect that his team sees Dai's rock'n-roll SP has the same taste as Yuzuru's, which, without doubt, has been valued/appreciated as the best SP of the season by judges so that rightfully was scored over 95 a couple of times already. It's a sort of message from judges to Dai's team that if both are to have clean SP, Dai still may lose to Yuzuru. In an interview before the season began, Utako-sensei mentioned his SP as a real challenge for Dai, not technically but music-wise. SHe said that this kind of music was something Daisuke was not very good at to interpret, because the music already sets the mood/tone, and requires to be, say, fun, energetic, cute, dancy and funcky, so that prevents him from interpreting any further. Dai to Utako sensei has always been the best skater to intepret between the notes of the music, you know.
Morozov as a choreographer...I agree with some of you, I am not so much in love with his works lately. However and more importantly, I trust his team 100% and I trust Nikolai more than 100% as a strategic coach. I am sure Daisuke and Utako-sensei push Nikolai hard to be more creative than his usual-self of lately, never allowing him to be lazy. Besides, we can always count on Dai as a tremendous performer, can't we? He is very capable of making a so-so program to look as if something very special. And if the new SP is not working at 4CC this week, then, he can go back to In the Garden of Souls which is a masterpiece come Worlds. So no worries!, I would say.
Last edited by deedee1; 02-06-2013 at 02:36 AM.
OK deedee now that Dai's SP change is official. Let's talk about costume and hair prediction. I think his costume will be simple. I am thinking a white or pastel type of shirt/blouse with maybe a little color sparkle and black slacks. His hair will look softer not as severe as his Elvis look he had in the Stroll. So what do you think?

At the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal, Bruce Jenner won the gold medal in the decathlon and became the great American Olympic hero—perhaps the last of the line, given the parlous state of the Olympics today. He was lionized shamelessly. He and wife Chrystie were invited to a state dinner at the White House. His was the face on the Wheaties box. He apparently learned from the amazing vanishing act of Mark Spitz.
Today Jenner endorses everything from lines of shoes and sporting clothes to 10-speed bicycles and weight-lifting equipment. He has a syndicated sports advice column and a sky-high deal to advertise Minolta cameras. He didn't pass his screen test for Superman, but makes his movie debut in June in Allan Carr's Can't Stop the Music (co-starring Valerie Perrine and the Village People). He has co-authored a spectators' handbook to the Lake Placid Olympics. He has a sports commentator's contract with NBC that will take him to Moscow if the American athletes go. He is negotiating with NBC to produce a couple of made-for-TV movies. He makes big bucks on the lecture circuit ("I've just raised my price—it separates the men from the boys"), mostly from corporate audiences. And when others might grab for the Geritol, Jenner, at 30, feels on top of the world. "I'm very fortunate," he says smugly. "I now no longer have to do things I don't want to do."
But Bruce's decathlon of life since 1976 has taken atoll. One casualty is his seven-year marriage to Chrystie, who worked as a United stewardess to see him through the grueling training that led to the Olympic gold. "Chrystie didn't like the whole public scene," explains Bruce tersely. Her disaffection has cost him time with son Burt, 17 months, and will put him at some distance from the child Chrystie is due to have in June. Theirs seems an amicable separation; Bruce has taken a house just a couple of miles from theirs in Malibu and he sees Burt frequently.
Jenner's refuge from his troubles is, as ever, his play. He jet-skis at Malibu; gets away when he can on his Hobie Cat sailboat; logged 230 hours last year flying his six-passenger Bonanza; gets in a lot of tennis (he's ranked third on the celebrity circuit); and has become a competitive race car driver who has won three of four celeb races and is now taking on the pros. And then there is actress Linda (Hee Haw) Thompson, Elvis' live-in girlfriend of five years and Jenner's steadiest date since he met her at a tennis tournament six weeks ago. "She's a good lady," says Bruce. "We've had a lot of fun." It is his ultimate compliment. "I play hard," he notes. "That's all I do, really."
So the culmination for Jenner came the first weekend this month when he entered the 24 Hours of Daytona, a big-time challenge race not unlike the decathlon: Winning requires less dazzle than sheer stamina, survival over a long haul. So the Rusty Jones team, in a BMW M1 GTP, seemed to have a built-in advantage in the 1980 Florida classic. Two of its drivers, Jim Busby and Rick Knoop, were proven winners in grueling endurance auto races including LeMans, and the staying power of the third, Jenner, was unquestionable. "In the decathlon I had to stay mentally sharp for 48 hours," he observed before the race. "In this sport it's the same thing. Drivers are athletes, and the sport takes a tremendous amount of timing, a tremendous amount of guts, a tremendous amount of judgment."
But racing also has elements unfamiliar to Jenner: high danger and the whimsy of fate. Jenner drove well enough at Daytona, often pushing 200 mph and helping to move the car in the race's first two and a half hours from 18th place to eighth in the 68-car field. But just before 7 p.m. he suddenly veered into the pits, with his windshield blackened with oil and what looked like the loss of the entire front end. "Some Porsche passed me and blew something," he screamed at his crew. "I don't know what the hell it was." As repairmen scrambled to fix oil lines severed by the Porsche's flying right rear fender and fit the car with a new fiberglass hood, Jenner flashed a silly, monkey-faced grin at girlfriend Linda ("It's an 'I'm okay' sign," she explained) and peered under the BMW to check the suspension. In only 32 minutes he was back on the track, down 18 laps and fighting for a comeback. Then, an hour later, after the handoff to teammate Knoop, the BMW's rear axle cracked, forcing them to surrender—and making Jenner confront the unusual feeling of defeat. "In the decathlon," he reflected, "I controlled my own destiny. Now the car and other drivers in the field control it."
The supposition is unavoidable that Bruce's fascination with car racing, which he began to indulge roughly at the same time he left Chrystie, is not so much in spite of its danger as' because of it: play, yes, but play with the element of chance in it and for the highest possible stakes. In practice for Daytona, he watched three cars spin out and one T-bone into another. "The difference between a man and a boy is the price of his toys," Jenner shrugs. "I worked hard for the Olympic medal, and now I can sit back and enjoy the rewards."
Interestingly, in 1976, when the U.S. threatened to shun the Montreal Games in a dispute over the representation of Taiwan, Jenner talked about defying the boycott. "I've worked too hard not to go," he was quoted at the time. Today, though he is lukewarm about Washington's attempt to enforce a boycott of Moscow ("The government doesn't support our teams"), he takes the longer view. His original reported comment at the President's action—"Hey, if Carter can't finish a 10-kilometer race, how can he make any decision on sports?"—was an off-the-record quip that he says was misconstrued. "If the American people don't want us to go," Jenner now states, "I'm in favor of that."
Indeed, there are also signs of the sobering of Bruce Jenner, chief among them his attachment to his son Burt. "He's barely out of the crib and people are expecting him to be a big athlete," Jenner notes sadly. "I want to back him in anything he wants to do." Says estranged wife Chrystie: "Bruce is an excellent father, so there will be no problems sharing our children."
Still, she admits, "It's very hard right now. The divorce process is ugly no matter what, and facing the prospect of being an independent woman is very painful." Bruce describes her as "a very good businesswoman," and he expects her to do well in real estate. Chrystie, 29, more mindful of the problems of a mother of one young child who is expecting another, says more modestly, "I'm into decorating, and I've been working on a very part-time basis." As for dating, Chrystie smiles, "It would be a little difficult, and I anticipate a moratorium on relationships. I'm going to keep people at arm's length, because I've been hurt."
Husband Bruce patently is not feeling that pain. Why would a man about to become the father of a second child plunge into the perilous sport of racing? "I enjoy life," says Bruce, "and I have no desire to cash in my ticket early. It's a little scary, there's no way around it, but racing is for me." As he watched the cracked and battered hulk of his BMW being hauled off the track the other weekend, Jenner grinned. "I had a ball," he said. "We're going to do it again in six weeks at Sebring. It was fun."

Avoid food-borne illness during summer barbecue season
June 22, 2011 - Carla Tracy
People in Hawaii fire up gas and kiawe-wood barbecues all year long. But with summer here, more cookouts are happening as the days are longer and the kids are off school.
Cooking outdoors is a fun and tasty way to eat a meal, however it can be deadly, according to Phil Lempert, a leading food safety expert and editor of www.SupermarketGuru.com and The Lempert Report.
"Each year millions of illnesses in this country can be traced to foodborne bacteria," Lempert says. "Warmer weather spoils food faster and cross contamination by utensils and platters touching both raw and cooked food can cause grave danger."
"It is especially important to take extra precautions and practice safe food handling when preparing perishable foods such as meat, poultry, and seafood products," says Lempert. "The warmer weather conditions provide a perfect environment for bacteria and other pathogens in food to multiply rapidly and cause foodborne illness."
The Food and Drug Administration estimates that two to three percent of all foodborne illnesses lead to secondary long-term illnesses. For example, certain strains of E.coli can cause kidney failure in young children and infants; Salmonella can lead to reactive arthritis and serious infections; Campylobacter may be the most common precipitating factor for Guillain-Barre syndrome; and Listeria can cause meningitis and stillbirths.
Lempert offers these tips for a safe cookout:
• When traveling with food, be sure to pack perishable foods directly from the refrigerator or freezer into a cooler to keep them cold. Meat and poultry may be packed while still frozen. To prevent cross-contamination, which can happen when juices from raw meat, poultry or seafood drip onto other foods, put perishables into sealed plastic bags.
• When grilling foods, preheat the coals on your grill for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the coals are lightly coated with ash.
• When marinating food, keep it refrigerated and covered in plastic.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the food and clean it after each use. Hamburgers, roasts and steaks should be cooked to 160º F. Cook ground poultry to 165° F and poultry parts to 170° F. Fish should be opaque and flake easily.
• Don't use sauce that was used to marinate raw meat, poultry, or seafood on cooked foods. Never taste marinade or sauce that was used to marinate raw meat, poultry, or seafood unless it was heated to the boiling point first.
• Use two sets of barbecue utensils or repeatedly clean utensils after it touches the cooking food.
• When taking foods off the grill, do not put cooked food items back on the same plate that previously held raw food.
• When cleaning up, use hot water, soap and paper towels to wipe the counters and platters. Sponges often spread and transfer bacteria. If you use a sponge, wash it in the dishwasher after each use.
• Remember that a full cooler will maintain its cold temperatures longer than one that is partially filled. Be sure to pack plenty of extra ice or freezer packs to ensure a constant cold temperature. When carrying drinks, consider storing them in a separate cooler to avoid opening the food cooler frequently.

A telephone scam in Horry County has prompted Santee Cooper to warn all its customers, especially restaurants and other small businesses to be vigilant in the event of a phone call from someone claiming to be a representative of the power company.
According to a release from Santee Cooper, a scam, currently operating in the Horry County area, involves people calling businesses claiming to be Santee Cooper employees and demanding immediate payment of bills.
Business owners have also been asked for credit card payments or wire transfers, the release said. The caller will even leave a callback number that, if dialed, is answered by someone who claims to be with Santee Cooper.
According to the release, Santee Cooper will not call and threaten to turn a customers power off unless payment is immediately made or demand immediate payment over the phone. Santee Cooper employees will always identify themselves and will discuss all payment options with a customer.
If customers have any concerns and want to verify that someone they are speaking with is a Santee Cooper employee, they are invited to call 843-347-3399 in Horry or Georgetown counties or 843-761-8000 in Berkeley County.
The release advised that customers should never provide a social security number, credit card number or banking information to anyone requesting it over the phone, online or in person, unless the customer initiated the contact and feels confident with whom they are speaking.

After a recent report citing a stress fracture revealed the San Antonio Spurs wouldn't allow guard Manu Ginobili to play in the 2014 FIBA World Cup for his country Argentina, confirmation from Ginobili and the Argentine National team had been relatively quiet.
Thursday morning however, both the Argentine Basketball Confederation and Ginobili himself took to Twitter to announce Ginobili was ruled out of FIBA play:
San Antonio Spurs did not authorize, applying the clause of FIBA / NBA agreement "requirements and other limitations on the participation of NBA players with their national teams." It states: "The NBA players are not allowed to participate with the national team when there is a reasonable medical concern that implies that such involvement may put the player in physical danger."
Al final no voy a estar en España. Lo lamento mucho. No quería terminar así. Pronto explicaré cómo fue todo en mi columna en LN.
— Manu Ginobili (@manuginobili) July 31, 2014
Ginobili's Argentine teammates Pablo Prigioni and Andres Nocioni also posted their thoughts on Twitter for Ginobili and some of their other teammates who will miss the tournament.
Muy triste por las bajas de @cabezadelfino @manuginobili y Juan Gutierrez.Nos debilita mucho. Que se recuperen pronto. Los vamos a extrañar
— Pablo Prigioni (@PPrigioni9) July 31, 2014
Duelen las bajas de grandes amigos y compañeros de equipo. @cabezadelfino @manuginobili y Juan Gutiérrez! Suerte y hasta siempre!!!
— Andrés Nocioni (@SoyElChapu) July 31, 2014
With Ginobili out, only Tiago Splitter (Brazil) and Boris Diaw (France) will represent their countries in the World Cup in Spain from the Spurs' roster. The expectation is that with Ginobili sitting out the World Cup, it should give his stress fracture enough time to fully heal by the time the Spurs' training came kicks off in October.

Call All Florida Fire Equipment at 727-525-5950 for all of your fire extinguisher service needs.
We service all types of portable fire extinguisher including but not limited to ABC, BC, Water, Class K, Water Mist, Clean Agent, C02, Halon, Halotron, Clean Guard, AFFF, and Class D
1. Fire Extinguisher Types
Fire extinguishers are a crucial means of protection that can control fires and prevent them from spreading excessively. Portable fire extinguishers are convenient to use at the onset of a fire. Fire extinguishers are suitable for any facility including offices, apartment buildings, homes and restaurants and are classified by type. Extinguishing agents are categorized according to the type of fire they put out and are marked by specific symbols.
Class A Fire Extinguishers: These put out fires that begin on combustible material including paper, wood, rubber, cloth and various types of plastics.
Class B Fire Extinguishers: These are used against fires produced by flammable liquids including grease, oil, gasoline and oil-based paints.
Class C Fire Extinguishers: These are used to control fires that are caused by electrical equipment including tools and appliances.
Class D Fire Extinguishers: These are used in industrial situations on flammable metals and must be used according to the specific type of metal.
Class K Fire Extinguishers: These are designed for use during fires caused by vegetable oils, animal oils and other fats used in cooking equipment. Class K extinguishers are used in commercial kitchens including restaurants, cafeterias and catering facilities. They can also be used in residential kitchens.
All Florida Fire Equipment distributes new Buckeye, Amerex, Badger and Ansul fire extinguishers throughout the Tampa Bay Area. These are all commercial grade fire extinguishers that meet the NFPA 10 standards and codes. Before you buy extinguishers from these large corporate stores take a look at what they have mounted on their walls compared to what they are selling, they do not even trust the brands they are selling to protect themselves.
What are the inspection and maintenance requirements for FIRE EXTINGUISHERS?
Maintenance/Inspection/Annual Certification:
All types of extinguishers should be inspected at least once a year. The extinguisher is checked to make sure it has proper pressure (gauge in green or proper cartridge weight), has the correct volume of extinguishing agent (tech weighs it), is within the required hydrotest and internal maintenance intervals, is in good condition and all external parts are serviceable. Often, dry chemical and dry powder types are hit on the bottom with a rubber mallet to make sure the powder is free-flowing, which is called "fluffing" the powder. The tech will then attach a new tamper seal around the pin and a yearly service tag.
Internal Maintenance/Six year maintenance/Recharge:
• Water - every 5 years
• Foam - every 5 years
• Wet chemical & CO2 - every 5 years
• Dry chemical - every 6 years
• Halon and clean agents - every 5 years.
The extinguisher is emptied of its chemical and pressure to check for proper operation. All components are disassembled, inspected, cleaned, lubricated, or replaced if defective. Liquid agents are replaced at this time, dry agents may be re-used if in good condition, halon is recovered and re-used, but CO2 is discharged into the atmosphere. The extinguisher is then re-filled and recharged, after a "verification of service" collar is placed around the cylinder neck. It is impossible to properly install or remove a collar without depressurizing the extinguisher.
Note: Cartridge-operated extinguishers should be visually examined, but do not require a verification of service collar.
The agent is emptied and depressurized and the valve is removed. After a thorough internal and external visual inspection, the cylinder is filled with water, placed inside a safety cage, and pressurized to the specified test pressure (varies with the type, age, and cylinder material) for the specified time period. If no failure, bulges, or leaks are detected, the cylinder passes. The cylinder is then emptied of water and thoroughly dried. CO2 types have the test date, company's ID, etc. stamped on the cylinder, all other types get a sticker on the back of the cylinder. Once dry, the units are recharged.

Statement By NCFJE Chair, Rabbi Shea Hecht: School Choice
Rabbi Shea Hecht issued an urgent call to action regarding ongoing efforts for parental choice in education. "The greatest domestic crisis in America is our failed educational system, and the manner is which it is taxed and funded is an affront to religious liberty. We need to learn the lessons of history and speak out when our individual and religious liberty is being violated.
"A coalition of organizations and private citizens from a broad cross section of the community has formed to make parental choice in education a reality. We have schedualled a rally in front of the Essex County Courthouse, 50 West Market Street, Newark, on Thursday, July 2, from noon to 2:00 P.M.
As this is obviously a matter of Hatzalas Nefashos, everyone who cares about the future of education should make an effort to attend this event."
