What will Dusty do next?
Before coming to Chicago, Dusty Baker had a self-proclaimed reputation as a manager who knew how to handle his pitchers. He claimed that no-one got hurt under his watch. Well, we know that's not entirely true.
In 2003, Baker seemed good to his word. The Cubs rotation was immensely healthy. Only Mark Prior missed any time, and that was because of a freak collision with Braves second baseman Marcus Giles. Sure, the statisticians were going apeshit. They were pointing out that our Cubs rotation featured some of the most abused pitchers in all of 2003. But hey, the Cubs came within five outs of a pennant. They were just whining over nothing, right?
Well, we know what happened in 2004. Mike Remlinger missed the first few months of the season because he required arm surgery after 2003 ended. Prior and Wood combined to miss something like 20 starts. Joe Borowski was done after the first week in June. But that was a fluke, wasn't it? It was because we had some bad trainers. Guys who didn't know how to diagnose so much as a paper cut. Things would be better in 2005, right?
Ok, again, not so much. Prior and Wood missed most of Spring Training. Wood is again out with a sore shoulder. But the biggest piece of evidence I've seen yet regarding Dusty's abuse of pitchers falls on Chad Fox. Last night, Dusty probably ended the guy's career.
It was pretty unnecessary. The Cubs had a 7-run lead going into the 9th inning. Dusty was warming up Mike Remlinger and Fox, a 34-year-old reliever, recently designated as the new closer, who'd had two previous surgeries on his elbow, and who'd pitched just the night before. According to one Desipiomaniac, Fox's warm-up consisted of three tosses (yes, not pitches, but tosses) in the 8th inning, and then a few pitches before the 9th began. Dusty called on Fox anyway. He then proceeded to give up a 3-run bomb to Adam Dunn.
Then, on his 29th pitch of the night, Fox came up holding his elbow, wincing in clear pain. Dusty yanked him, and Remlinger got the final out.
Some people might be inclined to say that Fox was a ticking bomb. He would've hurt himself sooner or later, no matter what. But the job of a manager is to keep his pitchers healthy. If he knows they have a history of injury and are returning from a surgery, if he knows that cold weather makes it easier to hurt tendons, if he knows that he just used the guy yesterday, and that it's unnecessary to use him in the very next game due to the huge lead, then he should never, ever use that pitcher.
All we can do is hope that Jim Hendry also noticed Dusty's abuse of Chad Fox. All we can hope is that all of Dusty's bonehead, moronic mistakes are piling up. Otherwise, the Cubs won't win. They just can't. Not with Baker at the helm.
Scott G. F.
Dusty should get the blame, but not all of it. Jim Hendry has been picking relief pitchers off the operating room floor for years now and now he got burned. Dempster will be next if not Wood. Remy is close too. The Cubs GM has supplied Dusty, a now known pitcher abuser, with a inferrier product. A duct taped and stitched core of arms that are one pitch away from the DL or the end of there career. Get Will Ohman in there, Wuertz, Leister are all available. Put them to work. The Chad Fox experiment just blow up.

MADISON, Ind., June 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Vehicle lift manufacturer Rotary Lift this week launches Raised in Madison, a campaign that tells the "behind-the-lift" stories of the people who build and support its car and truck lifts in the company's hometown of Madison, Indiana.

GREEN BAY, WI (LEARFIELD-WSAU) Green Bay Packers' running back DuJuan Harris will not practice until training camp in late July. The second-year pro missed today's workout at the Packers' mini-camp. He tweeted that he had a large cyst removed from one of his lungs, after it was discovered during a team physical.
Coach Mike McCarthy says he expects Harris to be ready when camp begins.
Harris put on a showcase late last season in two nationally-televised Packer games at Lambeau Field. He scored a fourth quarter touchdown on a snowy night in December, when the Packers beat Detroit. And Harris scored Green Bay's first touchdown in their Wild Card playoff contest against Minnesota, which the Packers won before losing at San Francisco in the divisional round.

Confusion and panic plagued Oak Hill High School in Fayette County on Wednesday. Superintendent Keith Butcher said 250 students went absent on Thursday in Fayette County schools.
On Wednesday, while a faulty fire alarm went off, a student filmed the evacuation, superimposed violent images, then uploaded the video to social media. Police then found writing on the men's bathroom wall suggesting violence in the school. This came just days after a 12 year old in Nevada allegedly shot and killed his teacher and wounded two other students. The very next day in Boston a 14 year old allegedly stabbed his teacher to death.
"I think it's affected every school system in the nation. One of the things we've been doing is more professional development with our service providers, our psychologists and our teachers so that we develop closer relationships with our students," Butcher said.
Oak Hill High School goes through periodic lock down drills, but on Thursday they took safety measures two steps further.
"This morning we did book bag searches on all of our students and we had them go through metal detectors, every last student," Oak Hill High Assistant principal Katie Hayes said.
"I think it was necessary because students can bring anything into the school. You never know what they can have, a gun or anything so I think today was done very well," said Oak Hill High senior Jacob Kemlock.
Oak Hill High is the only school in Fayette County to have an officer patrolling the grounds at all times. New River Elementary School is the only one in Fayette County with a double door system where visitors must explain their reasons for coming to the school.
The superintendent also told us in their 10 year plan they would like to include a double door system in every school in Fayette county. They are now 3 years into Fayette County Schools 10 year plan.

Western Lowland Gorilla
Gorilla gorilla
Average Lifespan: Up to 50 years.
Diet: Gorillas are vegetarians and eat plants, vegetables, and fruit.
Geography: Central Africa, near the mouth of the Congo River.
Babies: Females give birth to live young every 3.5-4.5 years and are typically pregnant for 8 to 10 months.
Conservation Status: Critically Endangered.
Interesting Fact: In the wild, gorillas form social groups called troops. Each troop is led by a single, dominant male called a silverback. Female gorillas tend to stay in the troop where they were born. Males, however, at the age of five to six years, will leave and join a group of other young males. The resulting group is called a bachelor troop.
Gorillas at the Zoo
Kivu and Goma form their own bachelor troop here in Santa Barbara. The Santa Barbara Zoo is one of several institutions that are keeping gorilla bachelor troops successfully!
Kivu, DOB 8/18/91; Goma, DOB 3/31/91.
Kivu is 5 ft., 7 in./450 lbs., and Goma is 5 ft., 4 in./380 lbs. (as of 1/2012)

Tuesday night, Kentucky Transportation officials are holding a meeting to lay out some changes that could be coming to a Daviess County road.
The meeting will be held at East View Elementary School in D0aviess County on Highway 405 and is scheduled to last from 5-7 p.m.
The meeting is aimed at looking at realigning a section of KY-144 near Pleasant Valley Road.
The main reason for the work is to improve safety along that road, which has lots of potentially dangerous curves if you live or drive in the area.
At the meeting, officials will display exhibits that outline the preliminary design of the project.
It's going to be a pretty informal setting, residents will have the opportunity to take a look at these exhibits and ask questions about how this could impact them.
Anyone who attends is invited to make written and oral comments at the meeting about the reconstruction.
Written statements will also be accepted for about two weeks after the meeting.
If you aren't able to attend and want to see the displays, they'll be at the Kentucky Department of Highways District 2 Office in Madisonville.

The workforce is the labour pool in employment. It is generally used to describe those working for a single company or industry, but can also apply to a geographic region like a city, state, country, etc. The term generally excludes the employers or management, and can imply those involved in manual labour. It may also mean all those that are available for work.
Workers may be unionised, whereby the union conducts negotiations regarding pay and conditions of employment. In the event of industrial unrest, unions provide a co-ordinating role in organising ballots of the workforce, and strike action.

First things first! Some of you already know that Diana Conti, our former ATOD Section Chair, is a candidate for APHA treasurer. Diana is the most-deserving recipient of the Section Leadership Award this year and has been serving as the Chair of the APHA Intersectional Council (ISC). She's worked tirelessly on behalf of the ATOD Section for many years and all APHA members through her critical role in the ISC. Diana is an exceptionally effective financial manager with more than 25 years experience as an executive director of non-profit organizations, a proven track record of fund raising ability and managing non-profit businesses, and extensive leadership experience on numerous non-profit boards. The ATOD Section is proudly and whole-heartedly supporting Diana in her bid for election as the new APHA treasurer. Now we need all of our Section members to help Diana with her campaign efforts. If you know anyone who has a vote in the Governing Council elections for Association officers, please take the time to contact those people -- whether they are Governing Councilors in other Sections, Affiliate Members from their respective State Affiliates, Executive Board members, or anyone who holds sway over these people -- and express your unreserved support for Diana's candidacy. Please join me in expressing our unqualified support for Diana in this position, and if you'd like additional info to be able to make the case more persuasively with our APHA colleagues, please contact her directly at email@example.com. I know Diana will be glad to have your support and your assistance with her campaign efforts!
If you've been following the news, you've probably heard that Congress is in the process of approving the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) renewal legislation with strong bi-partisan support and that the current version includes a 61 cent per pack hike in the federal tobacco excise tax (see this Washington Post article). President Bush has threatened a veto, and by the time you read this, you'll probably know the outcome of that.
Please see the APHA statement by Dr. Benjamin on SCHIP urging President Bush to reconsider his veto of this important legislation.
For more information regarding the benefits to each State resulting from Congress partially funding SCHIP through a 61-cent federal cigarette tax increase, please see the following fact sheet from the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids.
Promoting Healthy Lifestyles: Policy, Program, and Personal Recommendations for Reducing Cancer Risk, the 2006-2007 Annual Report of the President's Cancer Panel, was released in August. This is a ground-breaking report from this esteemed group that has focused their meetings for the last year on behavioral health issues, including two meetings on tobacco use and the risks from environmental tobacco smoke. The group made numerous very important recommendations about vital steps that could be taken to reduce the death and disease causes by tobacco use and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. If you're at all interested in tobacco control and related policy issues, I strongly urge you to read the panel's report, which can be found on the web at: http://deainfo.nci.nih.gov/ADVISORY/pcp/pcp07rpt/pcp07rpt.pdf.
CDC's Office on Smoking and Health convened a panel of experts in comprehensive statewide tobacco control programs on Dec. 6, 2006 to update CDC's Best Practices for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs (1999) by reviewing funding models and approaches to estimating state-specific budget recommendations. The Expert Panel provided technical consultation on the best evidence available to determine updated cost parameters (and metrics to calculate them) for major components of a comprehensive tobacco control program and reviewed data relevant to potential changes in the 1999 funding recommendations, including state experience and findings on program effectiveness. Information on the meeting, in which I participated, can be found at: http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/tobacco_control_programs/stateandcommunity/sustainingstates/BestPracticesMeeting.htm
CDC expects to release the updated Best Practices report at the National Conference on Tobacco or Health to be held in Minneapolis on Oct. 24-26. (Please see a related article in this edition of the ATOD Newsletter for more information on this exciting conference — one of the main events in our field!)
As a teaser, please stay tuned for a future announcement about our new ATOD Section Web site. We were recently notified that APHA has finally begun to give sections access to the new Web sites that have been in the works for a very long time. Although content has not yet been shifted over to our new site, I wanted everyone to have access to the new URL. We really are excited about the possibilities for our new Section Web site and hope you'll be willing to share ideas for content that will make this site as useful as possible for all of you. Feel free to check back at this site in a few weeks as we begin to add content. If you have questions about the Web site or want to offer suggestions for useful content, please contact Mark Parascandola, one of our Section Councilors who is championing this effort, at email@example.com or (301) 496-8584. Thanks, Mark!
As always, I'm happy to invite you to get more involved in our Section! Feel free to contact any of our Section leaders listed toward the end of the newsletter, depending on your particular interests or expertise, or any of the individuals listed in the following articles—we'd all be glad to hear from you and get your help on our respective initiatives. If you have a topic that's particularly important to you and that you think should be on the radar screen of the ATOD Section but isn't yet, feel free to call me at (301) 496-0275. I'll be glad to hear from you and discuss how we can advance the issues by working together.
Finally, I want to personally invite you to participate in our many ATOD events at the Annual Meeting. We're planning important Section Council meetings on Saturday and Sunday November 3 and 4 so feel free to check back and get details so you can drop in on these meetings if you have ideas or input to share with your Section Leaders or if you're ready to become more involved. We'd be glad to have you join us! And be sure you block time now on your busy calendars to attend our two great social events this year — and please bring along a friend or two or three who'd like to join the ATOD Section. We'll have our Meet the ATOD Section Leadership Reception on Monday, Nov. 5 with a couple of exciting special guests and our regular, outstanding Section Business Meeting and Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, Nov. 6, coordinated by the incomparable Andre Stanley. Both events will be held in the Renaissance Hotel across the street from the Washington Convention Center so be sure to check our ATOD Section Program for all the details including times and room numbers. We hope to post this info, and the Section Program on our new Web site prior to the Annual Meeting so be sure to check back often to get the latest details.
I promise if you join us at the Meet the Leadership Reception and the Awards Ceremony, you'll be very glad you did! We have great festivities, outstanding speakers and award recipients, the latest ATOD news and highlights, scintillating company and networking opportunities with important colleagues, AND outstanding food and beverages all planned just for your entertainment, edification and enjoyment! Let me start the thank you's now rather than waiting until I see you—to all of the Section Leaders who've helped plan these events and raise the funds needed to make sure that all our Section activities are a big success this year, to all the numerous organizations who have provided much needed support for which we are most deeply grateful, and a special thank you to Cynthia Hallett and Deborah McLellan who have been instrumental in making these events the success that I know they will be. And to Linda Bosma, our new Program Committee Chair, who has already done an outstanding job this year! Please check for yourself, and let me know what you think, then offer your gratitude to all your colleagues who've done so much work already, before the meeting even starts.
I can't wait to personally welcome all of you here to Washington, D.C. between Nov. 3 and 7, so let's make sure we make this an APHA meeting to remember for many years to come — it won't be complete without YOU!
Take it Easy & Enjoy Life!

Membership Update:
After a decrease in membership during 2005 and 2006, ATOD numbers are rising again. Our peak membership years were 2001-2004, when we had over 1,000 members. Last November we recorded only 932 members. However, as of August 31, 2007, we had 980 members. This is great news because the number of sessions we are allotted at the Annual Meeting is determined by our membership size. We hope that the upcoming meeting in Washington, D.C. pushes this number above 1,000 once again.
ATOD Section Booth: Once again our Section is sponsoring a booth in the Exhibition Hall of the Annual Meeting. Last year we distributed the ATOD Schedule of Sessions and featured member work at our booth. We will distribute the ATOD Schedule of Sessions at the booth again this year! Please visit our booth and pick up the schedule, meet some of our leadership and members, and volunteer to participate in Section activities.
To Our New Members: Welcome to our Section! I will try to personally welcome you by e-mail prior to the Annual Meeting in November. I encourage you to become more active in our Section by attending our business meetings, and I extend a warm invitation to our Social Hour (Monday, Nov. 5, 6:30-8 p.m.) and to our Awards Ceremony and Annual Meeting (Tuesday, Nov. 6, 6:30-8 p.m.). Details about these meetings and events are available online at APHA.

Governing Councilor
Statement of William V. Corr
Executive Director, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids
WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 1, 2007) - We applaud the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee for approving legislation to provide the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with authority to regulate tobacco products. The Senate HELP Committee has approved a strong bill that will provide the FDA with ample resources and effective authority to bring about fundamental change that will promote public health. Today's committee vote moves Congress a critical step closer to enacting truly historic legislation that can protect our children from tobacco addiction and save countless lives. There are few actions Congress can take that would make a bigger difference for our nation's health.
We urge both the Senate and the House to quickly enact this long-overdue legislation into law and to reject all efforts to weaken it. It is clear from the strong support for this legislation in both political parties and both chambers of Congress that Congress has the votes to pass this bipartisan legislation now. A Senate majority of 53 senators are sponsoring this legislation, as are 195 members of the House.
This legislation has the support of every major national public health organization and more than 440 public health, faith and other organizations across the country (see list at: www.tobaccofreekids.org/reports/fda/organizations.pdf), as well as the strong support of the American people. According to a recent national poll, 70 percent of voters support Congress passing the legislation and 72 percent believe passage of the legislation would be an important accomplishment for Congress. The poll also shows FDA regulation of tobacco is supported across political lines, geographic regions and even by a majority of smokers (click here for detailed poll results).
The need for this legislation couldn't be clearer. As the Institute of Medicine concluded in a groundbreaking report issued in May, the United States cannot eliminate tobacco use as a serious public health problem unless Congress grants the FDA broad regulatory authority over tobacco products. Tobacco use is the nation's leading preventable cause of death, killing more than 400,000 people and costing more than $96 billion in health care bills each year. Every day Congress fails to act, another 1,200 Americans die from tobacco use and more than 1,000 children become new regular smokers.
Despite all the death and disease they cause, tobacco products are virtually unregulated to protect consumers' health. This continuing lack of regulation allows the tobacco companies to market their deadly products to our children, deceive consumers about the harm their products cause and resist even the most minimal steps to make their products less harmful.
Among other things, the legislation would grant the FDA authority to crack down on tobacco marketing and sales to kids; require that tobacco companies disclose the contents of tobacco products and reduce or remove harmful ingredients; stop tobacco companies from misleading the public about the health risks of their products; and require larger, more effective health warnings on tobacco products. By enacting this legislation into law this year, Congress can finally end the special protection the tobacco industry has enjoyed for far too long and instead protect our children and the nation's health.

E-mail has become a primary means of communication within our Section and APHA. Please notify APHA of any changes in your e-mail address or other contact information at www.apha.org. If you are part of the ATOD Listserv, please notify Marilyn Daley at email@example.com of any changes in your e-mail address.
The ATOD Section has set up a listserv to help members communicate with each other on matters relating to policy, practice and research in the areas our Section covers. The listserv is a way to quickly inform others of developments, solicit assistance on matters of ATOD policy and its implementation and alert our members to opportunities and events of interest.
Control of the listserv will remain exclusively with the ATOD Section and all listings will be kept strictly confidential. Messages will be disseminated only after the sender and message content have been "vetted" as appropriate for our Section.
To join the listserv, e-mail your name and e-mail address to the Listserv Coordinator, Marilyn Daley, at email@example.com.
To provide a message for posting (after vetting), e-mail the material to the Listserv Coordinator, Marilyn Daley, at email@example.com. You do not have to be a member of the Listserv to post messages.
This is your newsletter, so please send us information you would like to share with your colleagues. We're interested in summaries of conferences, commentaries on articles, research or policies and announcements about conferences. If you have important news, we'd like to hear about it and publish it in the APHA-ATOD Section Newsletter. Please e-mail your news to email@example.com. The deadline for our winter issue will be mid-January 2008.

Back To Top
Recommended wire gauge for motors (111.76 KB)
Please feel free to view our complete library of owners manuals.
Q:Do you offer a spacer that could be used to switch from a 56 frame motor to a 48 frame motor? If so what is the part#?
A:There is a rubber spacer included in the packaging with all of our standard 48 frame pool and spa replacement motors. No other accessory should be required.
Q:Can I replace my 1.5HP motor with a 1HP?
A:Yes. You can downgrade the motor. You will also have to downgrade the impeller, diffuser and eye seal (if applicable) as well.
Q:My new motor is running hot. What could be wrong?
A:There are several different causes for this. The most common would be improper ventilation, incorrect impeller size or incorrect voltage. for more causes, you can take a look at our >Motor Troubleshooting guide.
Q:Can I replace my single speed motor with a dual speed?
A:In most cases you can switch from a single speed to a dual speed pump motor with no issues. This will depend on the model pump that you currently have. Please note that the motor does not come with a switch. In order to control the high and low speed you would need a timer capable of doing so. If you already have a 220 volt timer then you can purchase a T106R. If you do not have a timer then you would need to purchase a T10604R. It is highly recommended that you purchase the seals and gaskets for the pump when you replace the motor.
Q:I am looking for a replacement motor for my pool pump but all the ratings listed on the label are confusing me. What are the important stats on a motor label I should look for to ensure I'm getting the correct motor?
A:The key points on a label to know to ensure the proper motor selection are the Model number, Part number or Catalog number. If a match of one of these numbers is found, that match is the drop-in replacement for your motor. We also provide a guide on >How to Read a Pool Motor Label
Q:I just installed a brand new motor. It runs fine but it seems that it is running "hotter" than my old one. What would cause that?
A:If the motor is running "hot", you will want to double check the wiring. Most 230/115v pool pump motors are factory preset to 230 volt. If you only have 115 volt, you will need to re-wire the motor using the wiring diagram provided on the motor label. You may also want to check the condition of the cord as well. A cord that looks worn will not be able to produce enough current for the motor to run properly. The cord should be replaced when replacing the motor.
Q:I recently changed my pool motor and gaskets. I made sure to lubricate all the gaskets with vaseline. A few days later water is leaking from the pump. What did I do wrong? Help please!!
A:You never want to use vaseline on any rubber gaskets or o-rings. Vaseline is petroleum based and will deteriorate the rubber quickly. Whenever you change the motor on a pool pump it is recommended that you replace the gaskets and shaft seal as well. A >Go-kit contains the shaft seal, packet of non-petroleum based lubricant and gaskets you will need for your pump. If you already have the gaskets, you can purchase >Magic Lube.
Q:How do I change the shaft seal on my pool pump?
A:Changing the >shaft seal is quite simple. Here's > >How To Replace a Pool Motor Shaft Seal.
Q:How do I change the motor on my pool pump?
A:Changing the motor on a pool pump is not that difficult. Here's a video on How to Replace a Pool Pump Motor. In addition to the video you can read our step by step guide here Make certain that you purchase the correct shaft seal or Gokit to go with your new motor.
Q:I have a leaking pool pump that seems to be getting louder when it turns on. I made sure everything is clear inside of the basket. How do I know it's just the motor? Please help.
A:If you have a leak, it is more than likely caused by a failed shaft seal. Once the shaft seal fails water is able to enter the motor body and cause damage to the bearings. Typically it will cause the motor to run louder than normal and the motor will eventually fail. Your most cost effective option would be to replace the motor and the surrounding seals/gaskets. You can purchase the >shaft seal alone, but it is recommended you purchase a >GoKit. A Gokit contains the shaft seal, housing gasket, lid gasket, diffuser gasket and non petroleum based lubrication.
Q:I'm trying to replace the motor on my pool pump but all these numbers and abbreviations on the motor label are really confusing me. What do they mean?
A:Replacing a pool pump motor is not as difficult as it seems. You can try looking >here > >if you need help figuring out what the information on your label means. If you are still having difficulty figuring it out you can call us at our toll free number or you can send us a photo of your motor label >here.

What other readers are saying about this title:
Brookdale Library Staff said:
This biography draws extensively upon Robert Schumann's diaries, letters and notes. Because Schumann chronicled his thoughts and activities in great detail, the biography is almost a day by day account of his life. The author depicts Schumann's innate genius; his ambiguities; and his tragedies within the context of Central Europe in the mid-1800s and presents his subject to the reader as the inviolably free man that he was.

Charente Maritime, the coastal region of Poitou Charentes, France, has 300 miles of beaches. As you would expect from this region of France, the seafood is sensational, especially the locally harvested oyster beds, and is best washed down with a selection from the cellars of the local vineyards. A Charente Maritime property or some of the gites in Charente Maritime on offer here provide a perfect base for not only discovering the coast and beaches, but for cycle tours walks in the region.
The beaches make taking a holiday rental in Charente Maritime worth it by themselves. However, they are only a tiny fraction of the activities on offer here. If you take to the water, the sailing is exceptional, and there is equipment available for all levels of expertise. You can sail to discover some of the islands just off the coast, including Ile de Re or Ile d'Aix. There are many international sailing events here, including the Whitbread Trophy which is contested in the blue seas of Charente Maritime. The waters are also perfect for fishing, with sea-bass, sea bream and meagre all available.
Inland, anglers have a wealth of choice. The Charente, Boutonne and Dronne rivers are all available for angling. Following the rivers inland, you discover some areas of incredible natural beauty. There are national parks including Port des Salines and Cabane de moins encapsulating salt marshes and lagoons. This is an important area for migratory birds coming from America, so bird watching is also popular.
Charente Maritime is an established centre for Romanesque art, and information is available at the heritage centre in Lozay.
La Rochelle is a town devoted to the sea. Due to the port, La Rochelle grew into a major town on the French coast, and now has moorings for 3,600 yachts. The town itself is perfect for a leisurely shopping trip for antiques or fashion, and the Saturday market around the historic market place is bustling. La Rochelle also has two main beaches to enjoy during the summer, the Chatelaillon-Plage and St Georges de Didonne, and there is a children's surf club at Pontaillac.
The town of Rochefort is a charming town renowned for its thalassotherapy centres, and with the café des Longitudes offering home made ice-cream and some of the best fish on this side of the French coast, Rochefort is perfect for a weekend break to fully relax.
Charente Maritime's climate is affected by the Gulf Stream, meaning that it is much warmer than many places of the same latitude. It enjoys long summers and mild winters, and therefore, Charente Maritime properties can be used to explore the region all year round.
Charente Maritime is only 90 minutes by air from London, and the introduction of regular cheap flights to La Rochelle (LRH) has meant that the area has become much more open to tourism. Ryanair often provide cheap flights direct to La Rochelle from Stansted.

The concept is fun, the the gameplay is awful. The constant drop in health makes no sense, nor does the horrible responsiveness of the ship.
Rated 5 / 5 stars August 4, 2011
I lost interest after the 20th day, wasn't anymore goals to try and achieve.. which was annoying.. nice game, very very addictive, could have been a higher score, abit harder, an option of what sort of spaceships you could have.. like a cheese spaceship :)
Rated 4 / 5 stars August 4, 2011
Simple yet Sweet, like Cheese
It's simplicity makes it lack that certain something, but this game wasn't supposed to be that type of game. It's simplicity was what it was intended for, and it was very successful for what it was made for. It is a 10/10 in it's genre.

This Automaker Is Electrifying The Hybrid Market
Rajesh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The second largest US automaker Ford (NYSE: F) is making a strong attempt to gain a foothold in the US hybrid market. The carmaker is starting to challenge the undisputed king of hybrid vehicles, Toyota (NYSE: TM). The Dearborn-based automaker expects to wind up the year with a record 11% share of the US electric vehicles market. The company's November hybrid sales are anticipated to be the best ever with over 6,000 vehicles sold.
The carmaker has been persistently increasing the number of alternatives in the hybrid and plug-in space, including the all-new Fusion hybrid and the recently launched C-Max hybrid. November is the first full month for dealers to offer the newly launched C-MAX Hybrid, C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid, and the Fusion Hybrid. Ford has been working hard to increase fuel economy for its customers, so that it can take on the unprecedented hybrid player Toyota. Will Ford's business strategy of providing fuel efficient cars be able to give Toyota a run for its money with its fresh hybrid line-up?
Face-off with the existing players
As per Edmunds.com, Toyota occupied a 70.4% share of the hybrid market in the first 10 months of the year, while Ford's bigger rival General Motors (NYSE: GM) held 12.5% of the market. However, in October, Toyota's market share tumbled to 60.9% while Ford's share increased to 11.8%.
Ford has been introducing more models of hybrid plug-ins, so that customers have a variety to choose from. In addition, the US automaker is making sure that their offerings are fuel efficient considering that buyers give huge importance on the fuel economy of a car while making a purchase decision. The new line-up offered by the company is challenging Toyota's fuel economy, particularly at a time when majority of the shoppers are considering fuel efficiency as their top priority.
The all-new C-Max hybrid and plug-in hybrid are directly competing with Toyota's best-selling Prius that accounts for over half the market's hybrid sales. The fuel economy, price, and comfort offered by the C-Max threaten the Prius maker's market. It beats GM's Chevy Volt's fuel efficiency as well. Volt sales did not meet expectations as it faced competition from rivals, including the all-electric Nissan Leaf, Ford C-Max, and other new models from Honda and Toyota. The C-Max Energi is more efficient, powerful, and spacious with good headroom and comfortable seating.
The C-Max hybrid and plug-in hybrid are doing extremely well in the market. Approximately 4,400 of Ford's electric vehicles sales for November have come from the C-Max. The Fusion hybrid has won the Green Car of the Year award and is one of the high-interest models at Ford showrooms. The hybrid and electric auto market may be small at the moment but it is growing at a fast rate.
To Conclude
The automaker's November sales in US rose 6% with 177,673 vehicles sold in comparison to the last year. Consumers have been particularly responsive to the fuel efficient hybrid cars offered by the automaker. The hybrid line-up witnessed a 52% rise in sales in November compared to the previous month. This clearly shows that consumers are taking notice of the Dearborn automaker's hybrid offerings. The Chevy Volt and Toyota Prius may be the most popular hybrid and electric models, but the launch of Ford's C-MAX and other electric vehicles may change that.

New CSSF Circular 12/548 published - 13/11/2012
On 31 October 2012, the CSSF published a press release and Circular CSSF 12/548 relating to the Short Selling Regulation (EU) 236/2012 (please refer to our previous news alert detailing the requirements), entering into force on 1 November 2012 and applicable to any natural or legal person involving in transactions providing short exposures on shares and/or EU sovereign debt. The circular sets out details on certain practical aspects of notification, disclosure and exemption procedures. In particular, the CSSF has developed a web-based platform to be used for notification and disclosure purposes when net short positions reach pre-defined thresholds. Please note that this notification can be delegated.
From an investment management perspective, the calculation of net short expositions should be performed for each individual fund or portfolio managed by the same management entity. Existing net short positions should then be aggregated whenever an individual fund or portfolio follows the same investment strategy towards a given issuer. In case of delegation, the management entity should only consider the positions it manages but not those which have been delegated (the third party will have to follow the same procedure). Different netting rules may apply within group of entities when dealing with non-management activities.
Each EU national competent authority is publishing their list of shares and sovereign debt issuers. In this respect, the CSSF is the competent authority for 25 share issuers and 4 sovereign debt issuers. When exceeding notification or disclosure thresholds at a given day, a notification to the CSSF or any other national competent authority must be done before 3:30 p.m. on the following trading day. Thresholds for all EU sovereign debt issuers and a list of exempt shares admitted to trading within the EU are available on the ESMA website. Therefore, the key operational challenge, apart from performing short selling exposures calculations, is to be able to file notification reports with each national competent authority concerned on due time.
With extensive experience in the outsourcing of reporting and regulatory expertise, Deloitte can help you to approach these new requirements.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you need more assistance on these matters.

A Good Thing - Feb. 8, 2011
Day 8 Theme: Prayer
Pray without ceasing - 1 Thessalonians 5:17
What is the first thing you do when you wake up? What is the last thing that you do as you go to bed? What occupies your thoughts, attention, and affections throughout each day? Is it communion with God? If not, why not?
Through the finished work of Christ on the cross we have access to, and the favor of, the only Being in the entire universe who has the wisdom we need for decisions, the strength we need for struggles, the love we need for relationships, the goodness we need for right living. When we pray, we enter into the presence of God and we commune with Him from our hearts.
The question, then, is not why Paul gives us such a difficult commandment—to pray without ceasing—but why we would not avail ourselves constantly of the single greatest opportunity that Christ's blood has now provided us. We should pray, not to appease some vague sense of guilt or obligation, but to enjoy the great pleasures, pursue the great holiness, and enter the great presence of the Lover of our souls.
Pray to Him today. Pray to Him tomorrow. Pray to Him when you're sad. Pray to Him when you're exhausted. Pray to Him when you're exuberant. Pray to Him when you feel empty and when you feel full. Pray to Him without ceasing.

Kagan, O'Connor, Discuss Women Advocates of the Supreme Court
Watch video:
Solicitor General Elena Kagan, President Barack Obama's Supreme Court pick to fill the seat of retiring Justice John Paul Stevens, told an audience of lawyers, jurists and First Amendment advocates last January at the Newseum that unlike men, women in public life must be conscious of how others perceive them.
"Whether it's advocates before the Supreme Court or whether it's political figures … I think you need to be very aware of how other people are perceiving you," she said.
Kagan was one of three panelists who participated in the Jan. 28 program "Women Advocates of the Supreme Court Bar: Their Day in Court," which was moderated by retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
The program was sponsored by the Supreme Court Fellows Program Alumni Association and the Newseum's First Amendment Center. The other participants were Wendy Webster Williams, a professor of law at Georgetown University and Maureen Mahoney, a partner at Latham & Watkins in Washington, D.C.
The Supreme Court advocates discussed the subtle barriers women continue to face more than 130 years after Belva Lockwood became the first Court advocate in 1879.
"In the end," Kagan added, female advocates "have to be yourself and have people accept you on your own terms."
Kagan, 50, argued her first case before the Supreme Court in 2009. If confirmed, she will be the youngest associate justice and the third woman on the current court, and the fourth woman in the court's history.

Air travel has increased over the last decade, and with higher volumes of passengers, complaints are inevitable. If you have a grievance with an airline, airport or travel agent, there are ways you can complain.
If you have a complaint, it is best to resolve it using the two-stage process below.
Try to speak to someone at the airport or airline immediately. They might be able to sort out your problem straight away. If they are unable to help you or you are still not happy, try to find out who is responsible for what went wrong. (It may not be the airline at fault.)
Make a note of the names of people you speak to, dates, times and any other relevant information.
If talking to staff doesn't resolve your issue, the next step is to put your complaint in a letter to the customer relations department of the airline, the tour organiser or operator of your package holiday or the airport (depending on whose services you are complaining about). You should also check the airline's website to find out the best way of complaining; some airlines prefer you to write, some to email and others for you to fill out an online form.
Briefly explain what went wrong, and say what you expect to be done about your complaint. If you want compensation, say so, and say how much you expect. Whatever you write, be reasonable and stick to the facts.
Send copies of tickets or receipts with your first letter of complaint and keep the originals. If you are claiming a refund, the airline or travel agent will need the original tickets eventually. But hang on to them until you have a promise of a refund in writing (unless you can go to the travel agent or airline office yourself and get the refund there and then).
Remember to keep copies of all correspondence.
If you have already made a written complaint to an airline or airport, and you are not satisfied with the outcome, it's possible that the Civil Aviation Authority can help. You must be aware that they have no powers to compel service providers to accept their views.
If you write to the AUC, make sure you include copies of all correspondence you have exchanged with the airline or airport.
If you have complained to the agent or operator in question, but you are still not satisfied with the response, find out if the company is a member of a trade association, as these have arbitration procedures for customer complaints. The two main trade associations are the Association of Independent Tour Operators (AITO) and the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA).
The Air Transport Users Council cannot help with a complaint against a tour operator or travel agent.
Both the Association of Independent Tour Operators (AITO) and the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) can offer an independent dispute settlement service in which a third party attempts to mediate quickly in difficult disputes.
For more information on consumer and trade organisations, see our 'Consumer bodies for holiday complaints' section.

It was a very close call for an off-duty Maricopa County Sheriff's deputy Tuesday morning after a shot was fired in his direction while he was inside his vehicle.
The bullet came dangerously close and this happened around 7 a.m. right in the midst of the morning commute.
The suspect was on the loose for hours after firing towards the deputy.
The intersection of 35th Avenue and Yorkshire was closed to traffic as Phoenix Police investigated the shooting.
"We believe there were in fact, fragments of glass or something that injured him in the face area," said Sgt. Tommy Thompson.
The driver's side window of the deputy's black Toyota was shot out and police say the suspect fired at least one shot towards the car Tom Beckley was driving. The 32-year-old is a six year veteran with MCSO and was rushed to an area hospital after police say glass fragments hit his face.
"The condition of the deputy right now is good. He's recovering from his injuries. At this time, we do not believe he was struck with a bullet," said MCSO Sgt. Brandon Jones.
Phoenix Police say it all started in the area of 37th Avenue and Saint John. The deputy was dropping off a relative who accompanied him to work when the two spotted a suspicious vehicle parked illegally. The vehicle took off and the deputy followed. About two miles north in the area of Barons and 35th, this is the area where police say the alleged suspect opened fire -- evidence of the incident remained in the street.
"I feel that if anybody is going to shoot at a police officer, they will not think twice about shooting anybody.. that's you know, what concerns me," said Dawn Moren, an area resident.
Residents of the neighborhood where the shooting occurred worried about what happened -- grateful for the deputy for taking action, even if he was off the clock.
"A police officer.. a deputy is never off duty, they're always on duty, always there to protect the public, no matter when or what time of day it is," said Jones.
The deputy was armed, but police say he did not fire his weapon.
At this point, police don't have a suspect description. Police are hoping anyone with information might come forward.

The abrupt resignation last week of Virginia State Sen. Phillip Puckett sent his fellow Democrats reeling after they lost the slim control they had in the Senate.

The U.S. Supreme Court is poised to decide whether a federal limit on aggregate campaign contributions violates the right to free speech. In McCutcheon v.

Draper, Utah
By Jim Urquhart
It was four in the morning and for the second day in a row I found myself on the highway headed for a photo assignment before the sun rose. Still a bit tired and sore from the day before, I was however in a decent mood. The day before at the same hour I was trying to get to the start line of the Salt Lake City Marathon in the pouring rain, sleet and hail. On that morning I was assigned to photograph security efforts at the marathon, the first since the Boston Marathon bombing.
That day I covered prevention, this morning I was covering the team that are called in to help when the situation has already gone bad. The Salt Lake City Police Department SWAT team was going to be running candidates through an obstacle course as part of a test of physical fitness.
It was day one of the department's SWAT school. Candidates spent the next six days participating in exercises designed to educate and test their physical abilities along with their decision-making skills in stressful situations.
I have always been intrigued by these groups. They are some of the top cops who are licensed to kick butt while decked out in impressive gear. They save hostages, bust down doors and in general make it a bad day for the less than honorable among us.
Well before dawn I was at the site visiting with my police department contact, who was the same person that hired me for my first newspaper job 16 years ago, when I had a thought from the past.
