Exercising outdoors can be uncomfortable and sometimes unhealthy when it's hot and humid, but there are ways to work out through the weather woes. You're more likely to breathe faster and deeper and through your mouth—bypassing your nose's natural filtration system—on hot days. You also risk greater exposure to air pollutants (such as carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and ozone) that can inflame your respiratory system. However, the risks associated with not exercising at all are far greater than the risks of exercising outdoors.
So, plan ahead before exercising outside. And limit your exposure to pollutants, especially on days and in conditions when pollution is bad.
- Avoid exercising in heavy-traffic areas, such as along highways and during rush hour.
- During warmer months, exercise earlier in the morning or later in the evening, when ozone levels and temperatures aren't as high.
- Check the domestic or international air-quality ratings to determine when it's safe to exercise outside. Limit your time outside on Code Red and Code Orange days. Environmental conditions on these days aren't healthy, especially for children, the elderly, and those with existing respiratory conditions.
- Exercise indoors when the air quality indicates high ozone and particulate levels.
- Before any demanding physical activity, limit your carbon monoxide exposure by avoiding smoky areas and long car rides in congested traffic.
Can you train in the heat to improve your performance at altitude? The answer is "sort of." "Cross acclimation" or "cross tolerance" is the idea that exposing yourself to one environmental condition can help you adapt to another one as long as they have certain things in common.
As it turns out, this is the case for heat and hypoxia (low oxygen). This is important because athletes and service members can be exposed to altitude without prior or sufficient acclimatization. Altitude sickness can cause several problems, especially decreased performance. But some evidence shows that this method of training in hot conditions to prepare for altitude can actually work.
If you climb to the top of a mountain, there's less air and less pressure. And you're getting less oxygen with each breath. This can be simulated at sea level (in special labs) where pressures are normal, but the amount of oxygen in the air is reduced (fake altitude).
However, there's a bit of a catch. Training in the heat under artificial low-oxygen conditions—normobaric hypoxia or "fake altitude"—involves normal pressure, which is different from "real altitude" or hypobaric hypoxia, which involves reduced oxygen at low pressure. The difference is in the pressure.
So, do these two environments cause the same types of physiological changes? There are several other factors involved in real-altitude acclimatization that might not be accounted for at fake altitude, so the jury's still out.
Training in the heat might prepare you for performance at altitude—to a point. Ideally, if you're going to be at altitude, try to acclimatize yourself as much as you can.
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the U.S., but with proper precautions you can decrease your risk considerably. The sun releases invisible ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can cause cataracts (clouding of the eye lens) and skin cancers. An estimated 63,000 new cases and 9,000 reported deaths from melanoma—the deadliest form of skin cancer—occur each year.
UV rays also cause tanning and sunburns—and can damage your skin after only 15 minutes of exposure. They weaken the skin's elasticity, causing wrinkling, rash, and freckles too.
Remember that you can get sun damage on sunny and cloudy days. UV rays penetrate clouds, exposing you to 80% of the sun's harmful effects. The good news is that you can take steps to protect yourself from UV rays, while enjoying the outdoors.
- Limit your time in the sun. Seek shade and try to avoid sun exposure during midday (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) when the rays are strongest. And avoid suntanning and burning.
- Cover up. Wear protective clothing, including hats, long-sleeved shirts, and pants when going outdoors. Remember that protection decreases when clothes are wet.
- Apply sunscreen. Use water-resistant sunscreen with Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 15 or higher. Apply and let it absorb 15–30 minutes before heading outdoors. Use lip balm with SPF 30 or higher to protect your lips too. Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming, sweating, or toweling off.
- Protect your eyes. Wear sunglasses to cover the skin around your eyes and help prevent eye damage. When choosing sunglasses, check the label to make sure they block 100% of UV rays.
Walk into any fitness center on base or take note of a group of soldiers training, and you'll probably notice at least a few people in form-fitting synthetic t-shirts. The sports apparel industry has exploded in popularity over the past decade, with numerous manufacturers now competing to develop, market, and sell the newest pieces of clothing (shirts, shorts, underwear, socks), all geared to keep athletes cool while competing or training in hot environments. Is there any science behind these claims? Does tight-fitting clothing made of "high-tech" materials actually help with heat regulation and enhance athletic performance?
You heat up when you exercise, and sweating is the primary method your body uses to stay cool. Sweat evaporating off your skin is the most important method your body has to cool itself during exercise. High-tech materials are supposed to enhance "wicking"—the delivery of sweat away from the skin surface toward the clothing, which allows for evaporation—and limit the absorption of sweat by the clothing itself. Cotton, by contrast, absorbs moisture, so it's not considered a good choice for exercise.
To date, there's no evidence that this high-tech clothing improves thermoregulation when worn during exercise in hot environments. Specifically, researchers found no differences in heart rate or body and skin temperatures when subjects performed repeated 20–30 minute bouts of running outfitted in shorts, sneakers, and either a form-fitting compression or traditional cotton t-shirt. Research has also found that wicking sportswear had no effect on cooling when worn under a bulletproof vest or on a cycling sprint when worn under full ice hockey protective equipment. As of now, the best advice for staying cool during exercise in the heat is to wear lightweight clothing, stay properly hydrated, and listen to your body for signs of potential heat illness. For more information on performing in hot environments, please visit the "Heat" section of HPRC's Environment domain.
It's important to get enough water, especially when it's hot. However, too much water can lead to a dangerous condition known as hyponatremia in which the sodium levels in your blood drop too low. It's often caused by drinking too much water and is common among military personnel, athletes, and hikers. Significant weight gain (due to fluid retention) during exercise can occur, along with longer finish times for endurance activities. If you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) below 20, you are more likely to develop this condition. For more in-depth information, read HPRC's InfoReveal on over-hydration.
Sweat is a critical function when you're performing in hot environments. As your body absorbs heat from the environment, your nervous system activates sweat glands to release sweat. The moisture on your skin then evaporates, taking heat away from your body and cooling you off.
Protective clothing impedes the evaporation of sweat and the heat exchange between you and the environment, a condition known as "evaporative resistance." This means that the exposed parts of your body will cool off more quickly than the parts that are covered, but they are also more prone to insect bites. Reports from Marines and National Park employees feeling "excessive heat" and a loss of sweating sensations after applying moderate to high amounts of DEET to their skin brought the safety of this insect repellent into question.
In a recent study, researchers found that when 33% DEET lotion is applied according to military protocol, it does not interfere with sweat production or other physiological responses. Nor does it interfere with the evaporation process necessary for cooling to take place. Researchers concluded that 33% DEET can be worn safely during military and occupational activities performed in hot, insect-infested environments. Similar studies have found oil- or alcohol-based repellents may increase core temperature by reducing sweat evaporation rate but do not affect sweat production. The military-approved form of DEET is polymer-based.
You can watch a YouTube video about the science behind the study.
DEET is considered by the EPA to be a toxic pesticide. It should be used with caution and as directed. More information about DEET, its uses, and warnings can be found on the EPA fact sheet. As of 2004, DEET was considered safe for use on children older than two months of age. Specific information on its use and effect on children can be found in the EPA TEACH chemical summary.
Approximately 300 million people around the world have sickle cell trait (SCT), including approximately 9% of African Americans. It is a hereditary condition in which red blood cells are affected, but most people who have it never experience symptoms. (It is important to note that SCT is not the same as sickle cell disease [SCD]. Sickle cell disease [or sickle cell anemia] can lead to other serious clinical risks and can cause severe symptoms. Those with the SCD usually have a shorter lifespan.)
Individuals with SCT usually can participate in normal physical activity and sports, as SCT doesn't seem to adversely affect performance. In fact, some studies have found that those with SCT excel in short-distance power activities such as sprinting and jumping.
While SCT is largely a benign condition, there have been related complications such as exertional rhabdomyolysis and exercise-related sudden death. They have been found in non-SCT individuals as well, but they occur at higher rates in those with SCT and are a "hot topic" in military, and civilian communities; the National Collegiate Athletic Association even requires screening for all its Division I and II athletes.
It has been suggested that those with SCT may be more prone to sudden death from dehydration, heat illness, and high-intensity exercise; however, these factors and the role of prevention standards, medications, and the use of dietary supplements are still being studied. In both military and civilian SCT populations, collapsing during exercise is most commonly observed during times runs and sprints within the first few weeks of conditioning. SCT Recruits who have difficulty passing the Physical Readiness Test are also at higher risk for collapse. Military leaders should be aware of safe training guidelines and take universal precautions. Effective prevention tactics include heat acclimatization, hydration, gradual physical conditioning, and addressing progressively worse symptoms early on.
All newborns in the United States are screened for both SCT and SCD as part of a public health imperative. Each military branch has its own policies regarding SCT. The Army does not screen for SCT but promotes universal precautions for all soldiers, whereas the Air Force, Navy, and Marines all screen for SCT after accession. Further testing and counseling may be done for those who are positive for SCT. If you are unsure about SCT and exercise, consult with your physician, especially if you are starting a new exercise routine.

BURY took six players to Our Ladies for the final game of the regular season in the Manchester Amateur Basketball League.
With third place decided, it was Our Ladies who had everything to lose as a defeat would mean relegation.
The home side scored first with a three-pointer but Ergoli Togo and Stu Jackson countered for Bury.
Both teams traded baskets with Chris Stainton contributing for Bury.
The zone defence was effective and Bury went into the second quarter one point behind Our Ladies at 16-15.
The introduction of substitute Kin Ling proved decisive for Bury as he hit three shots, and with player/coach Mike Nichols hitting two baskets from long range, Bury stormed into a 35-20 lead.
Togo contributed and although the home team rallied, Bury held a healthy 12-point lead at half time.
The teams traded baskets in the third quarter and Bury switched to a 3-2 defensive zone to counter the shooters.
However, with three minutes remaining the home side attacked the basket going on a 10-0 run to level the game on a buzzer-beating shot.
In the final quarter the teams traded baskets with the lead exchanging hands five times.
With Bury down by two with only a few minutes remaining Stainton hit a drive to tie the game. Easy shots were missed as both teams began to tire.
Bury made a run to lead by four points with two minutes left.
However, as Jason Knowles grabbed a rebound he was fouled.
Rather than stay calm the home side argued with the officials. A technical foul was called and then another as composure went out of the window.
Bury were given eight free throws and made four to extend the lead, eventually winning 94-78.
Coach Mike Nichols said: "Composure won us this game.
"Two players stepped up big tonight – Chris Stainton and Kin Ling – hitting 24 and 23 points respectively.
"Ling hitting six threes was big for us.
"With five players in double figures, team work and sharing the offence worked for us against a very good team."
Bury Blue Devils now wait to see who they will meet in the play-off semi-finals.

Żywiec is the capital of Żywiec County in Silesia. It is inhabited by 32,000 people, according to data provided in 2004. Being situated in the picturesque Żywiec Valley, the city is surrounded by mountain ranges: in the west – the Silesian Beskids (Beskid Śląski), in the north – the Little Beskids (Beskid Mały), in the east and south by the Żywiecki Beskids (Beskid Żywiecki). Żywiec lies upon the Soła at the mouth of the Koszarawa and upon the Żywieckie Lake (Jezioro Żywieckie).
Adam Marczewski /
In 1626, Queen Konstancja issued the de non tolerandis Judaeis privilege banning Jews from settling in Żywiec, which drove Jews out of the town and into smaller municipalities such as Isep, Sporysz, and Zabłocie. They started to resettle in Żywiec at the end of the 17th century. Most of lived off running inns in the town and in nearby villages.
In 1797, Emperor Francis II renewed the ban on the Jewish settlement in Żywiec, but he also stated that Jews already born in the town could stay there if they wanted. At the time, most local Jews lived in a suburban village called Zabłocie. The inhabitants of Żywiec took various precautions in order to prevent Jews from being born in the town; they even went as far as to build the railway station in Zabłocie, not in Żywiec, so that no Jewish woman would give birth while travelling through the town.
In 1820, Zabłocie had 32 Jewish inhabitants. Following the establishment of an autonomous Jewish community of Żywiec–Zabłocie in 1864, an elementary school for both Jewish and Christian children was opened in 1874. In 1891 another Jewish community was established in Milówka. In 1914, there were 500 Jews living in Zabłocie.
In 1921, the Jewish community of Zabłocie had 624 members. In the 1930s, Jewish industrialist Ignacy Serog bought and modernised the famous "Solali" paper factory. Many Jews owned shops, restaurants and hotels. Among some of the most famous Jewish places in Zabłocie were: Tugenthat's delicatessen store, Kohn sisters' stationery shop, "Pod Góralem" restaurant (owned by Maks and Hugo Berger), well-renowned Mamer's tavern, Ferber's printing-house and bakeries owned by Anfricht and Hechcer. The Jewish community's properties included the Jewish Folklore Centre, the "Makabi" Club's stadium (currently, a bus station is located at the spot), Jewish Public School, Gottlieb's restaurant and Jewish apartments situated on Dworcowa street.
In 1937, many local Jews migrated to Palestine.
Żywiec was taken over by the German Army in the first days of WWII. In the spring of 1941, Germans transported all Jews from Żywiec to the ghetto in Sucha Beskidzka. They subsequently started to systematically destroy all the remnants of the Jewish presence in the town. Jews from Żywiec were most probably put into Nazi freight trains and transp

Local history
Adam Marczewski
Żywiec was founded by 1327, near an old market settlement in Stary Żywiec. From 1420 to1428 there were Hussites in Żywiec. The town initially belonged to Dukes of Cieszyn, then to Dukes of Oświęcim, and since 1456 to King Kazimierz IV Jagielonczyk. It was later granted to P.Komorowski and since 1624 it belonged to the Vasa dynasty and since 1673 to the Wielopolscy dynasty. In the 16th-18th centuries Żywiec was an important center of both craft (brewing, distilling industry, and cloth-making) and trade (of copper, lead, salt, wood). Since 1772 Żywiec was under Austrian rule. In 1822 the family of Charles Habsburg came into ownership of Żywiec. In 1856 the famous brewery was established as the biggest and the most modern brewery in Poland.

Sewer South slowdown?
A letter this week questioning whether the project to sewer southern parts of Oconee County is in a delay has prompted a response from the county administrator. On behalf of Voice of Southern Oconee, Glen McPheeters acknowledged that Scott Moulder, county administrator, had given a timeline in March at a meeting attended by more than 50 VOSO members. But McPheeters complained that, over more than 10 years, there have been empty promises. And McPheeters asked Moulder this question: "Has something transpired since March that has caused what appeared to be a well-oiled project to significantly slow down?" In reply, Moulder quotes the project engineer to say that advertising for construction bids begins Monday, August 12 and will remain open for 30 days. According to Moulder, under that timetable the project engineer's recommendation will go to the Oconee County Council September 18 and notice to proceed would be issued the next day. Moulder added, "Keep in the mind that this bid is for the force main sewer line only, which of course is the longest part of the construction process. We will in turn bid the pump station construction after we hear about the ARC grant award of $500,000 sometime in September."

- " Public Display of Affection? "
- ―Ratchet, suggesting what "PDA" stands for [R&C]
- " The Gadgetron PDA allows access to remote ammo anywhere in the galaxy! Equip and then activate it for all your impulse buys. A shipping cost and handling fee will apply to all purchases. Only Gadgetron products are available. "
- ―Description in Size Matters [Size Matters]
The Gadgetron Personal Delivery Assistant, or Gadgetron PDA, was acquired from "Steve McQwark" (Captain Qwark) on planet Oltanis. It could be used to purchase ammo anywhere in the game with an added shipping price, making usage of the gadget a choice between economy or convenience. In Up Your Arsenal it was available at Qwark's hideout in the Thran Asteroid Belt, but ammo for weapons purchased at Slim Cognito's vendor cannot be bought from the PDA, since his products are not Gadgetron products, meaning that he would need to make his products that of Gadgetron's to use it as a method of advertising. In that game, the ammunition costs 10 times the original cost.
It is better to purchase ammo from vendors, but it can be useful to waste some bolts on ammo when it is absolutely needed, such as in boss fights. In Ratchet & Clank, the PDA is especially useful during the final battle as ammo, notably Devastator ammo.
In Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, Ratchet could purchase it at a Gadgetron vendor. However, the Static Barrier's ammo was not available to buy from this version of the PDA, despite it being a Gadgetron product.
In Secret Agent Clank there was a Gadgetron PDA for Ratchet after beating the first challenge in the Prison Showers. Clank also had an Agency PDA.

Three members of the 2013 Caledonia volleyball squad have earned all-conference honors. Lottie Augedahl and Alexy Bearbower were named to the all-conference squad, and Lauren Rusert earned honorable-mention status for coach Scott Koepke's team that finished the season 14-18 overall.
Augedahl led Caledonia with 241 kills, 401 digs and 32 aces. "Lottie is a relentless defender who has a hit the floor before the ball hits the floor attitude," Koepke said.
"Four-hundred digs is a lot of digs for a season! No ball was too fast for Lottie. She also is a very strong passer out of serve receive, which allowed for us to attack a lot of the balls she passed. She competed very hard this year and played some of her best volleyball in our tournaments against very tough competition. We consider her a ball control kid, and she will be missed. I am very proud of her and glad the coaches in the conference recognized her play."
Bearbower, Koepke said, "Improved so much this year and really turned herself into a great libero. She would get going with her talking and really played some great volleyball. Three-hundred-seventy-four digs is a lot of digs for one season. Like Lottie, she was one of the kids who set up our attack out of serve receive. It was fun to see her out there, and she will be missed. I can still see her dig against Brandi Blattner of Dover-Eyota in the tournament sub-section semi finals. Great stuff! I am very proud of her and glad the coaches in the conference recognized her play."
Rusert rounds out the Caledonia selections. Koepke said, "Lauren had such an amazing knack for getting up balls that seemed to be going to the floor. As the year went on she became even better at reading the attacker. This allowed her to pick up balls that were very far distances from where she released too. Just amazing! She did a fine job in serve receive. Throughout the year Lauren improved a great deal attacking the ball from the right side. By the end of the year she was hitting the ball very hard and using her shots real well. I am very proud of her and glad the coaches in the conference recognized her."

April 8, 2014, Baltimore, MD: Jeffrey Sharkey, director of the Peabody Institute, offered the following statement in reaction to news of the death of John Shirley-Quirk, a member of the Peabody faculty from 1992 to 2012:
"The Peabody community is saddened to lose John Shirley-Quirk, a respected colleague, beloved teacher, and consummate musician. I had the honor of working with John for most of my years as director at Peabody. I first heard him sing at Tanglewood in the summer of 1980 and was captivated by his lyrical voice and warmth of spirit. John had one of the most distinguished vocal careers in the world, including his outstanding collaborations with Benjamin Britten. I am grateful to have seen first-hand his wonderful teaching and commitment to all of his students. Our thoughts are with our friend, Terry Shirley-Quirk and all of their family during this difficult time."

Tips To Help You Buy Or Sell Commercial Properties
Commercial real estate is full of red tape. In fact, processing these properties can be a real headache for owners and buyers alike. While it might seem daunting, many people involved in commercial real estate could benefit from simply educating themselves on their rights. This article will outline a few tips for buyers and sellers alike. By the way, if you need to renovate your serviced office, check out this Singapore interior design website for chic office design ideas.
Short sale auctions may seem to be quite alluring, but prepare yourself to lose out on the house by being over bid at the last minute. There are many people who have lost out on a home at the very last minute for slightly more money than what they had bid.
When you begin to advertise your real estate through a website, you must understand that you have a very short amount of time to catch your visitors attention. If your content is not focused, you will instantly lose thousands of potential buyers. Make sure your site is focused if you want to get customers.
Ask the rental agent if outside BBQing is allowed or not. If you enjoy summer BBQs, make sure the apartment complex you choose either has outside BBQs installed or they allow you to use your own. The lack of these facilities can completely ruin your summer party, as you can't provide the food you want to.
Before you rent a house or an apartment, make sure to ask how much trash you're allowed to throw out. Some places only allow a few trash bags and nothing more. They may charge you extra if you need to throw out larger items, such as furniture or boxes. Make sure that you are aware of all of the rules before signing a lease agreement.
If you come in contact with a person that represents a property that you have your eye on, make sure to ask them what their part is in this equation. It is important that you know this because you have to do all that you can to protect your personal interests.
It is wiser to have a business partner in your adventures in commercial real estate. With help from someone else you'll have more money available to invest in properties. Also, it certainly can't hurt to have someone with whom to discuss important real estate decisions. The input of another person can really help you make the best possible business moves.
The most successful commercial real estate investors are the ones who can find a good deal and know when to walk away from it. Develop an exit strategy and know how to calculate your minimum acceptable levels for payoff, returns, and projected cash flows. No matter how appealing the property may seem, do not hesitate to drop it if it will not perform to your expectations. For short term office, check out serviced office Singapore.
Don't accept the very first value you are offered. Almost all prices or bids have taken into account the fact that the other party will be interested in negotiation. Even if they have initially said they are not interested in negotiations you should be willing to try. Most likely that was just a strategy suggested by the opposing agent.
Be sympathetic to the other party in the purchase or sell. While you don't need to make concessions to them, sympathy in conversations is still required. Remember, even though this is a purchase, you are both still humans and a little politeness goes a long way. In some cases it can even help to seal the deal.
Consider detention space as you are determining the space offered by the commercial real estate listings you view. A detention is often required for controlling rain water run-off and other run-off, which could take a great deal of space from the overall property – as much as 15% of land you need for business operations.
When purchasing an investment property, don't forget to think sensibly. If a deal really is to good to be true if it appears that way. Make sure you have all of the facts and understand the information you're given completely. Don't rush through a process without fully understanding what you're getting into, and being comfortable with it as well.
As you can see, commercial real estate is easier to deal with than you probably thought it was. These tips were developed through experience, and will hopefully guide you in your commercial real estate transactions in the future. If you're still stuck, consider hiring a professional to help you through the rest of the process.

Fay-West churches, organizations hosting alternatives to trick or treating
Trunk-or-treat is a unique Halloween idea that is becoming a popular tradition.
In the next several days, churches and various organizations are offering trick-or-treaters a different experience for Halloween.
On Sunday in Connellsville, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is setting up for the seventh time, while Connellsville Area High School's National Honor Society will be hosting a trunk-or-treat event.
"The idea for trunk-or-treat came from my days in seminary when many churches in the area were doing this. Our church here in Connellsville began doing it as a way to reach out to the people in the community in a fun and friendly way. We usually have 10 to 12 people decorating their cars and handing out candy while a dozen or so more help set up, decorate and serve cookies and hot chocolate. In the past we have averaged about 300 trick-or-treaters with 500 being the record," said the Rev. Chris Stillwell of the Christian Church.
The event takes place in the church parking lot at 212 S. Pittsburgh St. from 3 to 4 p.m. Sunday so that church members may participate and then take their children trick-or-treating. Neighborhood children can come by and trick-or-treat with church members before heading out for the city trick-or-treating which immediately follows.
"We use this event to hand out a sticker with our website and church information and to meet and greet our neighbors. We think of it as an opportunity to show love, kindness and joy to people we don't always get to see, but would love to see more," said Stillwell.
Beth Shreve, adviser for Connellsville Area Senior High School's National Honor Society, said members will host a trunk-or-treat from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Sunday in the front parking lot of the high school.
"I have a really great group of kids this year who have come up with some fabulous ideas," Shreve said.
This is the National Honor Society's first trunk-or-treat. All elementary age children are welcome. Dress in costumes.
In the Tri-Town area, the Brownfield Community Center is hosting a trunk-or-treat from 4 to 6 p.m. on Saturday.
"This is our third year to hold trunk-or-treat. It is for ages under 13. My daughter, Danielle Anderson, from Madison, Va. brought me the idea. They do it at their high school there. Their whole community gets involved, including businesses," said Patty Acklin, a member of the center's board of directors and one of the organizers for the trunk-or-treat.
"This is a way that seniors in our community can feel safe. People aren't knocking on their doors and the kids and their parents can stay safe by coming to one area where the cars are parked together. Many of us decorate our trunks and dress in costume. We play music CDs and have fun. We hand out candy from the trunk of our cars. We love it when the kids come by," said Acklin.
Those who want to be a part of trunk-or-treat need only to show up and open their trunk of goodies. No sign-up is necessary. Acklin said there were 18 cars last year.
Others who help organize the event are June Murtland and Loretta Williams, also both center board members.
They agree that this is a safe way to celebrate Halloween for seniors who bring their cars and the costumed kids.
In Scottdale, a trunk-or-treat will be held on Thursday as part of the Scottdale Public Library's annual Harvest Hoedown.
The event will be held at the Woodcrest Senior Living Community.
Rhonda Allison, children's director at the library, said she has invited groups, businesses and individuals to decorate a car for trunk-or-treat, but some will instead be decorating a table instead in the dining area of the community.
This is the library's Family Fun Night, so it's not a "drop off your child to get candy" event.
"We need people to register their children with the library by calling 724-887-6140 so that we have enough items for all of the children who will be participating," Allison said. Children are encouraged to dress in their costumes.
The evening starts at 6 p.m. with the showing of the movie, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."
A craft session is planned, followed by games, face painting, trick-or-treating and Halloween stories to end the evening around 7:30 p.m.
The residents of Woodcrest get into the act by sitting with bowls of candy.
Robin Metzger with Woodcrest said working with the library has been a great partnership.
"The residents just love seeing the children all dressed up for trick-or-treat, and we supply candy for them to pass out," she said.
Registration for the event should be done by Wednesday. Children who registered are to go directly to Woodcrest at 6 p.m.
In Kecksburg, the Kecksburg Church of God is holding a trunk-or-treat from 6 to 8 p.m. on Saturday.
The church is located at 1255 Claypike Road in Kecksburg.
Participants are invited to attend dressed up or not and vote for their favorite trunk, then enjoy refreshments and a bon fire.
Anyone wishing to decorate a trunk and provide treats will be eligible for the "best trunk" prize.
Call the church at 724-423-3076 for more information.
In Normalville, a trunk-or-treat event to be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at Millertown Community Church, 224 Millertown Road, Normalville. Trunk-or-treat is for children ages 3 to 12. There will be food and games.

IRS Caught Breaking Federal Law to Prosecute Conservatives
(WND / Worthy News)-- The IRS appears to have been caught red-handed breaking federal law in its zeal to criminally prosecute conservatives for their political activities.
The House Oversight Committee has revealed the IRS sent the FBI a database containing more than a million pages of confidential taxpayer information that is protected by federal law.
"The IRS apparently considered political speech by nonprofit groups to be so troublesome that it illegally assisted federal law-enforcement officials in assembling a massive database of the lawful political speech of thousands of American citizens, weeks before the 2010 midterm elections, using confidential taxpayer information," wrote Chairman Darrell Issa, (R-CA).

diabetes drops below what the body needs to function
normally. Taking too much insulin, not eating enough food or skipping meals, or
exercising more than usual can cause blood sugar levels to drop rapidly.

Nontheists understand that religion is wrong. We discuss religions, rant about them, and fight them. Do we understand them? The goal of here is to learn about religions, how they developed, what they beleive, what makes them tick.
Location: Global
Members: 54
Latest Activity: Aug 4
Like the air we breathe, religion is everywhere. As far back as we have studied, probably to paleolithic times and our Neanderthal relatives, religion is part of the human consciousness, government, family, medicine, and human understanding of nature.
Religion dominates politics and governments in most the world in our time and all times in the past. Many of our families and workplaces and towns are saturated with religion. The better we understand religion, the better we know our world.
Intro to "Getting Religion" - what the group is about.
Paleolithic origins of religion.
Religion in the Neolithic Age.
Here is a link that summarizes the 43 biggest religious or religious belief systems, in the world today. This is the "Big Religion Chart".
To me, religions are like science fiction. I like the worlds of Battlestar Galactica, and Star Trek, and X-Files, and I like reading about Zoroastrianism, Aztec cosmology, and Catholic papal intrigues.

Earlier this month, reports revealed that some Apple iPhone users who've repaired their handset through third-party stores have had their devices bricked. In what followed, the issue was often referred to as "Error 53" after the error number displayed by bricked iPhones.
According to Apple, the error appears when a boot-time security checkup fails to recognize the Touch ID module. As per the official statement, the security check was actually designed to test the Touch ID module before a device is shipped out from Apple factories.
The company stresses that this measure was not designed to affect customers. Furthermore, those who've had to pay for an out-of-warranty replacement of their iPhone are advised to contact AppleCare to get their money back.

It was anything but love at first sight when Tiffney Cambridge first met Jayceon Taylor. Tiffney was a 5th grade history teacher who took to Jayceon, but wanted nothing to do with his alter ego - the young rapper known as "The Game". Despite her reservations, love blossomed and after eight years and two children King Justice and Cali Dream, Tiffney agreed to marry him. Life is complicated enough for Tiffney as she juggles to balance her career, family, friends, and most of all, being in love with two men: Jayceon Taylor, and the rapper "The Game".
For Tiffney, Jayceon's actions leave her in a constant struggle wondering if she will have to compromise for the rest of her life with his demanding, lavish, and wild career as a rapper. The first two seasons of Marrying The Game showed the difference between the most unlikely of couples and the love that ultimately brought them together but also teared them apart. Season Three of the series focused on Tiffney and Jayceon co-parenting their children and moving forward in their individual lives.

I recently returned from a trip to Vellore, in southern India, where I had a chance to observe first-hand the clinical trials for a new vaccine that could prevent nearly 100,000 child deaths a year in India from rotavirus.
Rotavirus is a severe diarrheal disease that claims the lives of an estimated 400,000 children under five worldwide each year – mostly in developing countries where treatment for severe dehydration is limited or inadequate.
Thanks to vaccines, diphtheria, tetanus, and measles deaths have dropped dramatically since 1980.
I also had the opportunity to meet with scientists at Bharat Biotech Ltd., an Indian biotech company in Hyderabad that developed and is manufacturing the vaccine in partnership with the Indian government and other partners, including the Gates Foundation.
Thanks to vaccines, diphtheria, tetanus, and measles deaths have dropped dramatically since 1980.
Bharat's rotavirus vaccine represents an important step forward in the maturation of India's scientific research and vaccine manufacturing capabilities. And it's a reminder of the amazing progress we have made over the last 50 years developing and delivering vaccines – the most powerful and cost-effective health solutions of all time.
As recently as 1967, an estimated 2 million people were dying each year from smallpox. With the development of an effective vaccine and worldwide immunization campaign, the disease was eradiated by 1979.
A quarter century ago, polio was endemic in 125 countries and paralyzing 350,000 children every year. In 2012, there were just 223 reported cases. Thanks to vaccines, diphtheria, tetanus, and measles deaths have dropped dramatically since 1980.
Today, 12 of the world's poorest countries are giving the rotavirus vaccine to children, and by 2015, that number will triple – and include India – protecting tens of millions of children from what until recently was a leading cause of childhood death.
So there has been some incredible progress. But we still have more work to do. It's critical that we eradicate polio to make the world safe. We need to continue investing in global partnerships like the GAVI Alliance, to reach the millions of children in developing countries who aren't yet receiving life-saving vaccines. (An estimated 1.5 million children are still dying every year from diseases that can be prevented with existing vaccines.)
And we must continue to work together – industry, governments, and non-profits – to accelerate the development of vaccines for diseases that continue to impose such a huge burden on people in developing countries. This is a key area of focus for the foundation because the technical challenges associated with producing vaccines for developing countries is unique: they need to maintain their potency for an extended period (1-2 years) in high heat and humidity, they need to be easily administered by minimally-trained health workers, and they need to protect people with the fewest number of doses.
Over the last few years, we have recruited a world-class team of vaccine experts and consultants to tackle these challenges. Working with partners, I'm optimistic that together we will one day live in a world free of vaccine-preventable diseases.

Dog rescued after dip in river near Chilliwack
Timber the yellow Labrador is none the worse for wear after a dip Wednesday afternoon in the Vedder River.
The dog's owner lost sight of him when he was swept downstream in the strong current, and then was unable to make it back.
She called RCMP. They found him stuck about one kilometre up from the Keith Wilson bridge.
"When people are panicked and they don't know who to call, they call 9-1-1," said RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck.
"Thankfully we were in a position to be able to go to the river and help Timber and his owner."
One officer climbed down to get closer to where the dog was, while another was bringing over the RCMP boat.
A Sea-Doo rider ended up scooping the dog off the shore and bringing him to the officer.
"It was a terrifying experience knowing he was somewhere in the water," said dog owner Kathy Slade.
He ended up stranded in a spot where they couldn't quite reach him.
"I can't put into words how thankful we are to the RCMP and to the other members of the public who helped return Timer to us safely." They were reunited.
Other than being soaking wet and exhausted, Timber was "no worse for wear."

If Eru is supposed to be the real god how come he doesnt have the same personality as the Christian one.
Well, it all depends on your own interpretation. Eru appears to be reasonably similar, but that can be of controversy. Ralnon (talk) 00:28, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
Add more info on Eru's role in actual events in the Timeline of Arda please. Edit
I'm thinking there should be another section on this page about his impacts on Middle-earth history. You know, like how he brought back Gandalf and all that good stuff. I just don't know enough about him to even know where to start. If anyone does, I think it would be a good idea to add more. It just seems like the Creator's page should have a little more info. Echobrand 14:59, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
lol ima put it this way eru is the god in middle earth but it seems he isnt as powerfull as the real god of the bible he let melkor destroy the lamps with ice and fool the valar if he was powerfull he would have warned the valar of melkor's plan.
- That's, like many things, open to interpretation. If hadn't let Melkor destroy the lamps, then the Valar may still have regarded him as trustworthy, causing him to commit still greater crimes, possibly even destroying Arda. (we must remember that the ice aspect was written out) Likewise, how would the Valar respond to the news? They could hardly lock Melkor up for something he hadn't done. Maybe Eru has simply followed a rather universal truth: there are times when action is required and times when it isn't.--Wyvern Rex. 11:31, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
i realy dont think the valar would not listen to Eru (exept Melkor) take mandos for example he is the does seemingly cruel things but its just the will of Eru if Eru said kill destroy Valinor then the valar would still do it.But i still think Eru made let melkor get away with way too much if the Noldor never came to Aman to ask the Valar to help in the war of wrath then Morgoth would be messing things up all the way to the fourth age it even says in this article and the simirilrion Eru never directly intervined with the problems with Arda.
Are there any sources of his origins because it would be interisting to know where the source of all creation came from. 126.96.36.199 10:14, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
Which form of Arda is Eru Illúvator attributed with creating?Edit
When it is said that Eru Illúvatar created Arda, is it the Arda which is seen as a single planet on which there is Middle-Earth; the Arda the continent and the Arda Solar system? Jackoshannon345 (talk) 22:14, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
Is Eru Ilúvatar really Tolkien?Edit
Can Eru Ilúvatar possibly be seen as Tolkien? Jackoshannon345 (talk) 22:15, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
It's stated in this page that Eru ensured that the ring was destroyed? Is this confirmed or simply speculation?

Desalle & Rm-Z450 Suzuki Win German MXGPRockstar Energy Suzuki Factory Racing's
Posted by: newsla on Jun 23, 2014 - 06:49 AM
Desalle & Rm-Z450 Suzuki Win German MXGP
Rockstar Energy Suzuki Factory Racingâs Clement Desalle mastered the many ripples and ruts of a demanding Talkessel circuit in Teutschenthal, close to the city of Halle in Germany to bring the potent RM-Z450 its fourth overall win of the season.
Talkessel was the scene of round 11 of 17 in MXGP and the second FIM GP in the space of a week. Some 31,000 fans rolled into the sunken venue under bright skies and a stiff breeze to see Desalle and team-mate Kevin Strijbos do battle once more and fulfil the role of protagonists in the premier category of this gripping, brutal and entertaining sport.
Teutschenthal assumed its standard position as the home for the German Grand Prix after undergoing some big and important renovations and modifications for the 67th Motocross of Nations last September. The shortened and dark soil surface constituted the usual small climbs and drops and many off-cambered turns.
It was a stage that Strijbos owned completely on Saturday when he raced to his third pole position of the season. It was â2013 âNations winner Desalle who was the more effective away from the line in both 30 minute and two-lap motos on Sunday, however: Desalle was nursing a stiff left wrist after his hefty prang in Italy last week, but the side-effects were hard to notice as he closed down a five-second gap to leader Max Nagl and hassled the German all the way to the finish line; setting the fastest lap in the process. It was a close and exciting duel but Desalle could not force through to first place. In the second moto he took matters into his own hands from the third corner and once ahead did not look back. The â#25â motored to his seventh race-win of the year and his sixth from the last five Grands Prix.
Strijbos was not far behind. He struggled to replicate his bright getaway from Saturday and in the first moto was especially frustrated trying to overtake Valentin Teillet and eventually finished seventh. He was more concise in the second sprint as two measured overtaking moves pushed the Belgian up to second place for a Rockstar Energy Suzuki 1-2. Strijbos was fourth overall and just missed the rostrum by two points.
The repercussions of proceedings in Germany are visible in the MXGP standings where Desalle has totalled 452 points so far; only 25 behind Cairoli. Strijbos, meanwhile, continues to consolidate a comfortable position in fourth place, some 108 points in front of Shaun Simpson in fifth.
Grands Prix in Sweden and Finland represent rounds 12 and 13 of the championship and will take place across the first two weekends of July. After intense competition in Italy and Germany, Rockstar Energy Suzuki WMXGP can taste some respite and prepare for the three fixtures in July that will carry the 2014 campaign onto the home straight.
Clement Desalle:
âI didn't have a good weekend in Italy and hurt myself a little bit but this was much better! I didn't ride this week and my wrist was painful up until Wednesday but it started to warm-up after the first sessions. My starts were good and this was really important. Max was really strong in the first moto and made a small gap. I closed it, but could not find any places to pass. Anyway, second was a good result and I knew I had to be totally-focused on the start for the second one to try and win the GP. To be first from the beginning meant I could concentrate on my riding and didn't have a look around until the last 10-minutes when I could relax a little bit. It is cool to win in Germany; especially after such a good race. The ground is really special here, sometimes there is grip and sometimes not. You have to be consistent every weekend and now the gap in the championship is 25 points â just one moto â and we have plenty of motos left.â
Kevin Strijbos:
âNot bad but Iâm a bit disappointed not to make the podium. I actually had a good start in the first moto but someone hit me in the first corner and then Jake [Nicholls] crashed and I hit him. I lost three places and although my riding was good for a while, the arm-pump came back and the race was over. I tried to catch Simpson but I could not hold-on any more and Iâm still not sure what to do. My start was better in the second and so was my riding with some good lines and overtaking. The speed was there for the podium and maybe even the win. We just need to find a solution for my arms because it is bothering me at the moment. But at least we can leave here with a positive feeling from that second moto.â

Buy Toprol Over The Counter, It's no wonder that Rahm Emanuel, who could play the villain in a James Bond movie, looks a little bit like the Wicked Witch of the West, and who famously said that a crisis is a terrible thing to waste, has found a home in Obama's White House. When the president suggested that the oil leak could lead to his raising taxes at the gas pump, I could easily imagine Mr. 750mg Toprol, Emanuel standing off-camera chuckling like a crone and rubbing his hands together.
One thing you have to say for Obama is that he thinks big. Not satisfied with merely destroying our economy and jeopardizing the well being of older Americans, Toprol uk, 200mg Toprol, he did the same to England and its seniors when he began threatening British Petroleum with criminal charges. The value of BP stock, which had already been teetering because of the tragic events in the Gulf, 10mg Toprol, Toprol us, plummeted, and with it, 100mg Toprol, Toprol usa, the dividend checks of English pensioners. I could almost hear Emanuel's chortling, "I'll get you, 250mg Toprol, Toprol ebay, my pretty, and your little dog, Toprol overseas, Toprol canada, too!"
If he could, I am convinced that Barack Obama would tax the air we breathe. In fact, Toprol coupon, 150mg Toprol, with Cap & Trade, I think he can. After all, 30mg Toprol, Toprol india, in cahoots with Pelosi and Reid, he has already found any number of ways to tax our patience, Toprol japan. 500mg Toprol, Although I still entertain the hope that Harry Reid will be sent off into the Nevada sunset in November, I know that Nancy Pelosi will be re-elected. But however I feel about her, 50mg Toprol, 40mg Toprol, it really is a wonder that San Francisco, the only freak show in America with its own city charter, 1000mg Toprol, Toprol paypal, has a congressional representative who so closely resembles a normal human being. Still, every time I look at her awe-struck face and hear that spooky little girl voice, Toprol australia, Toprol craiglist, I recall a storyline from the "Li'l Abner" comic strip. The long-time senator from Dogpatch, Jack S, 20mg Toprol. Toprol mexico, Phogbound, was facing certain defeat in an upcoming election until he gave one final campaign speech. He told the voters that if he lost, he would be moving back home, whereas if they re-elected him, they wouldn't see hide or hair of him for another six years. He won in a landslide.
I'd like to think that helps explain why people like Charles Rangel, Henry Waxman and Robert Byrd, haven't had to do an honest day's work in their entire lives, buy Toprol Over The Counter.
The two main reasons I want to see the GOP take back the House in November is that I want the brakes applied to Obama's radical transformation of America, and I want to see Pelosi, as the ex-Speaker of the House, have to hand over the keys to that colossal jet that she's been using as her personal cross-country shuttle, all the while prattling on about America's dependence on fossil fuels.
What she refuses to acknowledge is that fossil fuels literally fuel our industrialized nation, whereas the jumbo jet merely fuels Pelosi's jumbo-sized ego.

Screenwriter Derek Haas shares some updates on the 'Wanted' sequel, saying that the film will see Wesley four years after the original movie with a new female recruit.
After attempts to bring Angelina Jolie back as Fox in "Wanted 2" have failed, the movie is now forced to move forward anyway without her. However, screenwriter Derek Haas promised that the upcoming "Wanted (2008)" sequel would have a new female lead who's going to be as badass as Fox. He additionally revealed that the story would pick up four years after the events in the 2008 film.
Giving some updates on the long-gestating sequel, Haas shared to Hollywood.com, "After four years, from a creative standpoint, it's almost better, because we can pick up the story four years later." He dished, "It's 'Where is Wesley (James McAvoy) four years after the events of the first movie?' "
Haas, who partners Michael Brandt to pen the script for the sequel, went on explaining that he wouldn't try to bring Jolie back because the goal was not to undo anything that happened in the original pic. "Angelina Jolie gets shot in the head and everyone's like, 'Oh, are you going to bring back Fox?' I said, 'Did you see the bullet go into her head?' And they say, 'Oh, she can take one of those milk baths!' We never wanted to do that movie."
Revealing more details on the plot after the death of Fox, Haas said, "The only thing I can tell you is that Wesley is now, four years later, recruiting a young woman who is in his situation in the first movie. She's got a sh**ty life. He's sort of in the Fox role. This new girl is brought into the world."
Despite the success of the first film, Jolie had made it clear that she would not return to the sequel. Explaining her decision to leave the project, she once said, "Being dead makes it difficult. They were [trying to bring me back], but I kind of feel like if I die in a movie, I should die actually... It would just be doing the exact same thing in another movie, so it's not that interesting to me."
Bringing back Timur Bekmambetov to directing seat, "Wanted 2" is still in the screenwriting phase. Haas said that he and Brandt were still readying to deliver their second draft of the script. The original movie successfully scored $341.4 million worldwide.

Designers Don Carney and John Ross established PATCH NYC with a collection of hand-detailed hats in the fall of 1997. Inspired by a hat made by John's mom Yasuko for her son's first New York winter, the designers created a collection using hand-dyed wool from the Union Square Farmers market and vintage buttons for embellishment.
Encouraged by the success of their hat collection, the designers added fabric scarves and special occasion handbags the following year. An appreciation of vintage embroidery, applique and beading techniques motivated the pair to embellish their designs with intricate details inspired by items found at the New York flea market. This attention to detail combined with an unpredictable color palette quickly became PATCH NYC design signatures. Today, PATCH NYC has evolved into a lifestyle studio creating original art and designing collections of home decor and fashion accessories including costume jewelry, scarves and the HUNTER line of sterling and one-of-a kind jewelry.
In addition to the PATCH NYC line, Don and John have designed home collections exclusively for West Elm and Anthropologie, serving pieces and objects with Paris based Astier de Villatte, stationery for Barnes & Noble and Bell'Invito and a line of scented candles and fragrances with Soap and Paper Factory. In September 2012, PATCH NYC presented a 50 plus collection of home decor items designed exclusively for Target as part of the Shops at Target program.
PATCH NYC art and designs have been featured in numerous international fashion and home decor publications as well as on television and in film. The PATCH NYC collection can be found in specialty stores worldwide and in the PATCH NYC Shop located in Boston, Massachusetts.

Brilliant new colors, quality performance, a continued good value
(CHARLOTTE, NC) . . . With 32 new designer colors, the finest in Egyptian extra long staple cotton, and 21st century spinning technology, Star machine quilting threads are entering a new season of colorful brilliance and quality performance, all while still remaining an outstanding value for the quilter.
Star threads (www.starthreads.com), designed specifically for the independent quilt shop as well as the long arm enthusiast by the renowned thread maker Coats & Clark, have long been a staple in the quilt maker's arsenal. The demands of the long arm quilter for a value spool of extra long staple Egyptian cotton thread, required the application of the newest spinning technology. Changing fashion color trends for quilters meant updating the color range, as well.
"Star thread has always been a favorite for many quilters. We wanted to make certain we were giving the quilter a renewed color palette in a thread that is discernibly different from other cotton threads and still maintain our value -- up to 50% less per yards," said Ken Nelson, senior product manager for Coats & Clark.
The new Star is warp mercerized and 3-ply construction, making it a strong, smooth thread, consistent in color, size and performance. High luster and low surface hairiness means little lint and enhanced seam appearance.
In total, Star offers over 100 colors, 59 solids and 46 multi-colors, many of which came from Coat's global color kitchen, European fashion colors, customer and quilt artist recommendations plus Color Marketing Group and CAUS color forecast trends. Of note are the new multi-colors developed by thread lover, artist and author Terry White (www.threadpaint.com).
"I love Star cottons. The random color changes create interesting effects in your stitching and the multi-colors blend beautifully with the solids," said White. "They are delicious to work with and there is a lot of thread on the spool."
The 1,200 yard Star spool is perfect size for quilting a queen size quilt. New modular displays will give the retailer greater flexibility in an attractive contemporary display unit suitable for peg board, counter top or floor display. Accompanying the new Star threads are pre-wound bobbins in 1,200 yard packages, matching the thread's best selling colors.

Finally, a Z-Wave Smoke Detector for U.S. Market
ZSmoke from BRK/First Alert appears to be the first Z-Wave-enabled smoke detector available to U.S. consumers; can trigger alerts and home automation events such as shutting off a house fan.
There are hundreds of Z-Wave products on the market, but until now we could not find a smoke detector with the wireless home automation protocol built in. Now BRK, the maker of First Alert-branded products, is launching the ZSmoke, apparently the first Z-Wave smoke alarm available to U.S. consumers.
"We have had other [Z-Wave] smoke alarms, but none available direct to consumers until this one," says Mary Miller, senior director corporate marketing for Sigma Designs, the chip-maker that acquired Z-Wave developer Zensys in 2008.
There is a product in Europe that comes from a Taiwanese factory called Vision Security. The company makes the ZS 6101 smoke detector, available online for about €54 ($73). The company also sells a Z-Wave CO detector in Europe. OEM samples are available for the U.S. market but no company has picked it up yet.
Another Taiwanese OEM Everspring offers the SF812 Wireless Smoke Detector, but again it has yet to be deployed as a consumer product.
So it appears First Alert is the first in the U.S. The new ZSmoke can be tied into virtually any Z-Wave-enabled home automation system (like the new $200 HomeTroller Zee from HomeSeer) to trigger events such as shutting off the house fan if smoke is detected.
Tied into a home-control system, the ZSmoke (like any Z-Wave device) can send alerts to the homeowner, who in turn can take appropriate action.
It could flash the lights in the house upon smoke detection – for the benefit of neighbors or occupants who might be hard of hearing. It could sound an outdoor siren. It could unlock the front door – but only when the residents are away – for when help arrives.
First Alert product manager Sara DeLuca says the company has a combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm in the works and "we look forward to developing more products that utilize Z-Wave technology."
The ZSmoke is the 900th product certified by the Z-Wave Alliance.

I-495 violations sent to Delaware-based companies
State environmental regulators have sent violation notices to land owners in the vicinity of the damaged bridge section of I-495.
The Delaware Dept. of Natural Resources and Environmental Control sent the notices to the DuPont Co. and New Castle-based Alma Properties, LLC. DuPont and Alma own the land where a 55,000-ton mound of dirt was stockpiled near the bridge's support columns.
Engineers blamed the huge mound of dirt for the damage to the columns that resulted in the interstate's closure earlier this summer.
The letters cite a number of violations on each company's part regarding the stockpiling of soil. DNREC did not blame either company outright, but stated, "Through this Notice of Violation the Department is engaged in determining the responsible parties for the violations due to the stockpiling activity."
According to the Associated Press, the violations could lead to fines of up to $2,000 a day. The notices mark the first step towards the state recouping an estimated $45 million in repair costs.
Dan Turner, a spokesperson for DuPont, said that the company "strongly disagrees" with DNREC's notice of violation.
"We have stockpiled no soil whatsoever on the property we own, nor have we given permission in any way to anyone else to do so," the company said in the statement. "It is our understanding that Port Contractors, in turn, entered into an entirely separate agreement with Keogh Contracting Company to use part of the property, and Keogh brought the soil onto the property for storage."
Turner added that DuPont has no contractual relationship with Keogh and at no time did he or DuPont authorize them or anyone else to store soil on the property leased by Port Contractors.
Keogh Contracting has not yet responded to NewsWorks' interview request.
According to the statement, DuPont has a long-term ground-lease agreement on the property with Port Contractors, Inc.
Alma Properties and Port Contractors companies are apparently linked: When attempting to reach Alma Properties for comment, the phone was answered with the greeting, "Port Contractors."
Company officials were not immediately available for comment.
The Christina River crossing was closed in June when it was discovered that some of bridge's support columns were tilting. The southbound lanes reopened July 31 and the northbound lanes are expected to reopen by Labor Day.

The Crap We Missed – Monday 11.25.13
Welcome to your day-after-an-awards-show The Crap We Missed, which usually means I'm beat from working late night and early morning to make you aware of the ladies in attendance who were courteous enough to show us part of their breasts, or "celebrity photo editing" as the lying lies on my resume would refer to it.
