The autumn rain was extremely chilly, and the heavy downpour beating down on the survivors caused their bodies to tremble uncontrollably. The Type 2 Meat was not a wonder drug after all. In that cold harsh rain, the weaker survivors fell amidst the downpour, never to get up again.
Amongst those who fell, there were children, women, and men, but regardless of who it was, no one would help to support them. The people behind continued to push the human sea forward while trampling on the dead, and the people forward had no choice but to continue moving or join the ones on the ground.
Even when the soldiers under Yue Zhong saw this happening, they could only harden their hearts and ignored it. They had to get the survivors across the bridge as soon as possible. Every minute they delayed, the soldiers fighting at the frontlines would have to stay put a little longer.
Under the 1st Battalion's watchful gaze, the survivors lined up obediently, crossing the bridge according to the given order. Nonetheless, the speed was at its maximum and could not be quickened.
The bridge was 500 m long, and the number of people that could cross per hour was at most 12,000 people. This was under the condition that there was no blockade, and was the fastest speed they could muster.
After 7 hours, approximately 80,000 survivors had crossed the bridge, at the same time, 400 had collapsed on the way. The heavy downpour not only claimed the lives of the weaker survivors, it had impeded the actions of Tai Yiyan and the rest of the group. No one wanted to be drenched in the rain as well.
After 7 hours, the warriors on the frontline together with Yue Zhong saw the sea of zombies approaching from the distance.
The moment the horde appeared, all sorts of firepower was rained upon the horde.
Facing the assault of the heavy weaponry, the zombies in the front were like wheat that was reaped, falling down line by line. Very soon, the zombies behind shambled forward to fill the gaps. At the same time, there were other zombies laying around that got up slowly and started to push towards SY City as well.
Those steel barbed wires, barricades and various other blockades exhibited their effectiveness, as those ordinary zombies that only knew how to advance were caught and fell to the ground. Same as the humans the fallen zombies were being trampled by the zombies behind, turning them into piles of meat mush.
The cones and sharp fortifications caused countless other zombies to be impeded and killed even. However, the moment those L2s that towered above 2m appeared on the battlefield, they used their monstrous strength to forcefully crush those fortifications.
The zombies relied on their numbers and lack of fear for death, carving a path out for themselves in their steady advance.
The sea of zombies was an extremely simple yet terrifying tactic. Just relying on their endless numbers and their disregard for death, they could go on forever.
Yue Zhong and Shen Hongyang's troops had joined together and were killing the zombies constantly, but could feel the taxing nature of having to deal with such a tactic. Regardless of how many zombies they killed, there would be more from behind to replenish the ranks. They lost position after position, as they retreated at each juncture.
"Guo Quan, what's the status report on the bridge crossing? Hurry, check and reply back to me!" On the frontlines, Yue Zhong was wielding a .05 submachine gun and firing wildly at the horde, while he was shouting into the walkie talkie with the other hand.
Facing the hundreds of thousands of zombies, even if Yue Zhong was a dual-attribute Evolver, he was practically useless. He had stood at the forefront, because he wanted to use his own power to lessen the pressure on the other soldiers.
The 800,000 zombies was moving towards them like tidal waves of the sea. Yue Zhong's warriors were forced to abandon their posts as they retreated bit by bit.
It was a critical situation, all the soldiers were feeling the fatigue. They had been engaged in long hours of warfare, and had not gotten the necessary rest. They were humans, not robots, and could not withstand such long intense battles. If it wasn't for Yue Zhong standing like a general in front of them, igniting their morale and fighting spirit like a fighting god, they would have collapsed long ago.
Regardless of how much Yue Zhong inspired the troops, the fact was that the soldiers were exhausted. If the intense battle was to go on for too long, they would not be able to hold up. The assault of the sea of zombies was simply too ferocious, even in the cold rain, many of the barrels were overheating and became useless. Numerous soldiers had swollen shoulders because of the recoil, and they were relying on their fighting breaths and will to hang on.
As long as the leader was not useless, the soldiers of China were soldiers that could fight on with a strong fighting spirit*.
Although Yue Zhong had his shortcomings, he was the one who always fought in front. Perhaps he was tyrannical at times but he treated his soldiers fairly, and he always led his troops into victory after victory, creating myriad miracles. This type of leader was a commander soldiers were willing to fight to the death with!
People are known to love their homeland, and aren't willing to desert if they could. Especially in this type of weather, the survivors were all the more unwilling to move.
To Yue Zhong, his soldiers were more important than the survivors of SY County. They trusted him wholeheartedly and were loyal, that's why they had chosen to fight till the end with him. Every single one of them were exhausted, and hanging on for another 2 hours was most likely their limit.
Within SY City, the remaining 50,000 survivors could not compare to his loyal subordinates.
"I understand, Commander Yue!! I promise to fulfill the responsibilities!!" Guo Quan gritted his teeth, as a resolute look appear on his face.
The news of the zombie horde attacking SY City soon spread like wildfire, and upon hearing the news, all those who were hiding at home and not willing to be soaked in the rain felt shock and trepidation, and finally understood the severity of the situation.
Those survivors took their raincoats, and rations and various other items in bags and rushed to the bridge. The sudden influx of the survivors led to chaos, and were jostling amongst themselves to be first, trying to find ways to cross the bridge. No one dared to stay in SY City longer than necessary, as the zombies would attack them in the next moment.
In the resulting chaos, many people who knocked to the ground, and trampled by the others, becoming more of the runny meat paste as the rain continued to fall.
As these people were all fighting to be in front to cross the bridge, it had caused a blockade in front of the bridge, and no one could move.
No one paid attention to Xu Yang's shouts. The law would not punish the masses, this truth was imbedded deeply in their hearts, since there were people squeezing everywhere, they all thought that they would not be punished.
"Open fire!!" Xu Yang looked at the survivors squeezing, his face turned grim as he finally shouted the command.
The soldiers that were guarding the bridge used their machine guns and started firing into the crowd.
Under that sweeping fire, over a hundred of the survivors were shredded and fell down in pools of blood and gore. That terrifying scene shocked the remaining survivors, and they became obedient, looking towards Xu Yang in fear.
Under Xu Yang's orders, the survivors quickly segregated themselves into 3 groups of people.
Following which, under the 3rd Battalion's watchful gazes, the children left the place first, crossing the bridge towards the other side.
Xu Yang opened the bag, only to discover various diamonds that were twinkling inside. If it was prior to the apocalypse, these diamonds were easily worth several millions of Renminbi.
The lady also fluttered her eyelashes at Xu Yang. Becoming the woman of an officer was not a bad thing. In this post-apocalyptic world, she wasn't the first to sell her body, nor would she be the last.
A few soldiers stepped out swiftly, and captured Qu Bufan and his group.
"Sir!! Sir!!" Qu Bufan had a look of shock and fear as he squealed out like a pig in distress.
"Don't be getting any funny ideas! Otherwise, you will face the same consequences as them!" Xu Yang scanned the survivors like a cheetah as he spoke out coldly, the survivors all looked down, not daring to meet his gaze.
Man the cruelty in these last few chapters in regards to the military executions and the survivors is intense. You don't often get to read something like this where the guys committing these acts are the 'good' guys. It's really interesting to see how these actions are justified for the greater good. I'm very impressed.
They were being two smart for their own good.
As much as I like this novel, this chapter is not very good.
I really think you should just translate the original text as is. This brings up a huge problem I and many other readers had with a previous translator. The previous translator was offended or did not agree with the author's sentiments so decided to just change the text to reflect what they agreed with.
I'm of the belief that a translator should not add their own bias to the story when it's possible to translate without bias. It's the author's work, not the translators. If the translator does not agree, then please drop the project. Don't work on something you don't want to. But please, don't change the meaning of the original text just because you do not agree with the author.

IndyCar: Series gets TV boost as Versus will become NBC Sports Network
Driver Alex Tagliani is interviewed by the Versus network, which will become NBC Sports Network next year.
The Izod IndyCar Series might finally have received its big television break as ratings inch up.
Versus network officials said on Monday that the cable network--which broadcasts the majority of IndyCar's races--will soon become the NBC Sports Network, complete with NBC's famous, colorful peacock logo. The change takes effect on Jan. 2.
The NBC Sports Network will serve as NBC Sports Group's 24/7 cable platform. That should be a boost not only for IndyCar but for the NHL and Notre Dame-related content, which Versus also broadcasts.
IndyCar's ratings, while still a long way from NASCAR's, for example, recently resulted in its three most-watched races on Versus this summer (Texas, Toronto and Edmonton), though all of those ratings points were less than 1.0, which represents 1.1 million households.
The rebranding of Versus should make the channel--which some have complained is too obscure and difficult to find, especially for casual fans--much more of a household name. IndyCar certainly hopes some of that expanded recognition will rub off on it.

4th Place for Malta in Serbia
The Weightlifting KTD Spartak tournament in Subotica Serbia from 22nd to 26th August, saw successful results from the Maltese team of three made up of Rodmar Pulis, Keith Azzopardi and Andy Borg.
Pulis, who is currently preparing for the upcoming World University Championships in Poland, finished with a 103kg snatch and closely missed his second and third attempt at 107kg. He then went on to clean and jerk 142kg in the second half of the competition. Despite this not being Rodmar's best result in competition, he showed improving strength and confidence on the international platform and will continue his ongoing training for the bigger platform in Poland.
Junior athlete Andy Grech had an excellent showing as he finished with a 88kg snatch and 116kg clean and jerk. Another Junior lifter, Keith Azzopardi, who was a rookie on the international platform had a confident performance finishing with a personal best total as he lifted 85kg in the snatch and 104kg clean and jerk.
The Maltese team finished in 4th place overall where they competed against athletes from Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Croatia, Slovenia, France, Romania, Uganda and the host country.
Jesmond Caruana was accompanying the Maltese team, as he was giving seminars prior to the tournament. The seminars were held in numerous cities around Serbia including Belgrade, Bač and Subotica and were open for athletes, coaches and officials. The seminar was aimed to teach the latter about the rules that go into a weightlifting competition. As Caruana travelled around these cities giving the seminars, the Maltese athletes had the opportunity to train with the Serbian athletes and overlooked by international coaches.


Tungaloy Corporation is pleased to introduce a new addition of the M-class threading inserts with chipbreaker to the popular TungThread line.
The new additions include external ISO-metric threads with pitches 3.5 and 4.0 mm, external/internal round DIN405, and external/internal partial V-profile 60° threads with pitches from 3.5 through 5.0 mm (7 to 5 TPI).
These Class M tolerance threading inserts incorporate a 3D chipbreaker on the rake surface for smooth chip evacuation, which typically becomes a bottleneck in threading operations. The price structure is set so that these new additions offer up to 40% more competitive than others offering conventional ground inserts with a flat top rake.
A 3D chipbreaker on the rake surface prevents chip entanglement on the tool or the workpiece, as is the case with the conventional ground threading inserts.

- a brief overview and video showing how ham radio, or amateur radio can be used to provide emergency communications in times of disaster.
Although ham radio is primarily a pastime, amateur radio operators have often provided emergency communications when a disaster has struck somewhere. Ham radio operators are uniquely placed to be able to set up radio communications systems and they often have a variety of radio communications equipment and expertise that are not available anywhere else. Time and again, ham radio operators have provided the only radio communications from a hurricane stricken island, or they have been able to provide radio communications systems that no other service has been in a position to set up.
Many ham radio operators prepare themselves for using their ham radio equipment to provide essential emergency radio communications. With their expertise, flexibility, and the ability to draw on the variety of radio communications equipment they possess, they are able to set up communications systems in a variety of difficult circumstances. One very notable example occurred on 11 September 2001 when the "Twin Towers" were struck in New York, all communications systems were overloaded, and many others were put out of action. However amateur radio was able to provide some of the essential radio communications required by the emergency services.
It can be seen that amateur radio or ham radio is not only a fascinating pastime, but it also provides an essential service to the community. This happens not only in the USA, but in countries all around the world. As a result of this many countries look very favourably upon the hobby of amateur radio, knowing that radio hams can provide emergency two way radio communications cover when no others are able to.
There are many reasons why ham radio enthusiasts are uniquely placed to provide two way radio communications cover to assist the emergency services. In view of the way the hobby of amateur radio is set up it enables radio amateurs to be able to provide a useful service, and this is recognised around the world as a particularly important service to the community.
Ham radio enthusiasts have a large variety of equipment to draw upon: There are many ham radio enthusiasts around the globe and most posses a good amount of ham radio equipment that can be used for setting up two way radio communications systems. In view of the fact that radio amateurs make contacts with each other on a daily basis, there are no restrictive standards, and it is possible to establish two way radio communications with almost any equipment whether it is fixed portable or mobile radio communications equipment.
Experience in setting up communications under difficult conditions: Ham radio enthusiasts usually enjoy the challenge of communicating under difficult conditions. As a result their experience in ham radio is ideally suited to establishing radio communications under a variety of disaster situations.
Experienced in portable and mobile radio communications: Ham radio operators often use their ham radio equipment under portable or mobile circumstances. Equipment that can operate under these conditions is often necessary, as mobile and portable transmitters are often needed to report into a central "base station."
Combined operating and technical skills: By the very nature of the hobby, ham radio operators and enthusiasts possess both technical and operating skills. This enables them to set up and maintain two way radio communications systems under the worst conditions.
Large number of people who can give their time: In view of the large number of ham radio operators around the globe, there are many who are able to give of their time freely. Even those who have other commitments will often give up their valuable time to help when a disaster occurs.
These and many other reasons mean that amateur radio or ham radio and radio amateurs are able to offer a very effective service in setting up and maintaining two way radio communications systems to assist the government and emergency services in assisting the local population after a disaster has occurred.
Radio amateurs have been praised on many occasions for the way in which they have responded to emergency situations. Many times the two way radio communications service they have provided has saved lives or enabled people be helped more quickly of effectively. While the name amateur radio or ham radio often seems to imply a lack of expertise, this is not the case, and people in authority have often commented that the service offered by radio amateurs is far from "amateur" service, but instead it is very professional. They are able to provide two way radio communications systems in a way that even the professional services are unable to do under very exacting conditions.

Navio de Teseu se refere ao navio que levou Teseu (e vários outros jovens) para serem sacrificados ao Minotauro.

Os navios
Os navios que Atenas enviava para Creta, para pagar o tributo pela morte de Androgeu, filho de Minos, usavam velas negras, mas Teseu, na terceira vez, disse para levarem velas brancas, que deveriam ser usadas na volta, caso Teseu conseguisse matar o Minotauro.

O paradoxo
O navio de Teseu é inspiração para um paradoxo.

De acordo com lendas gregas, conforme relato de Plutarco:

O navio com que Teseu e os jovens de Atenas retornaram (de Creta) tinha trinta remos, e foi preservado pelos atenienses até o tempo de Demétrio de Falero, porque eles removiam as partes velhas que apodreciam e colocavam partes novas, de forma que o navio se tornou motivo de discussão entre os filósofos a respeito do conjunto de caracteres próprios e exclusivos com os quais se podem diferenciar objetos inanimados uns dos outros.

O paradoxo foi discutido por outros antigos filósofos, como Heráclito, Sócrates, Platão antes dos escritos de Plutarco, e mais recentemente por Thomas Hobbes, John Locke e Gottfried Leibniz. Este problema é "um modelo para os filósofos" . Por exemplo, no livro: "Identity, Persistence, and the Ship of Theseus" há duas versões:
"  (1) Versão Simples:
Seja A = O navio em que Teseu começou a sua viagem.
Seja B = O navio em que Teseu terminou sua viagem.

A questão não é apenas se "A=B?"; suponha que Teseu havia deixado uma peça original do barco A no barco B. Uma peça de A é o suficiente para fazer A idêntico a B? Se não, seria idêntico a B supondo que ele havia deixado duas peças, etc.  Onde devemos traçar a linha da identidade do barco?
(2) Versão Complexa:
Igual a versão simples, mas com uma adição - seguindo Teseu havia um outro barco, o Carniceiro, que pega as partes que Teseu atira ao mar, e as utiliza para se reconstruir. O Carniceiro ao chegar no porto é um navio que se compõe precisamente das partes que compunham o navio que Teseu começou a viagem. Ele aporta na doca seu navio ao lado do navio que Teseu aportou.
A versão complexa dá origem a dezenas de perguntas e análises sobre a identidade de ambos os  navios que buscam uma resposta que forneça o conjunto de condições necessárias e condições suficientes para a identidade do navio de Teseu e do navio Carniceiro." S. Marc Cohen, Professor Emeritus do departamento de Filosofia da Universidade de  Washington

Dúvida de Hobbes
Thomas Hobbes, em De Corpore, acrescenta à discussão filosófica acima o fato de que alguns atenienses, mais preocupados com o autêntico do que com aquilo que deve permanecer, foram recolhendo num armazém, ao longo dos anos, as peças velhas que já não serviam o lustro de estreia do navio restaurado. Um dia, chegou a Atenas um forasteiro que, entusiasmado pelos relatos da vida do herói, quis visitar a suprema relíquia do seu ídolo. Ao saber da história da lenta renovação do navio, o visitante pediu aos atenienses que o conduzissem até ao "barco de Teseu".

Foi então que surgiu a dúvida: afinal, qual deles era "o barco de Teseu"? O monumento luminoso que Atenas expunha aos olhos deslumbrados  do mundo, ou os destroços de peças desgarradas que se acumulavam a um canto do armazém? A unidade proposta a partir de cópias do que já lá estava, ou o apagamento progressivo dos elementos originais? Se a resposta fosse afirmativa para ambos os casos, como é que o autêntico barco de Teseu se transformou em dois? Dois = um? O que vale mais, a unidade aparente do aparentemente imutável (o navio no museu), ou a decomposição da unidade sob a pressão do tempo? Como se pode, nesse caso, fixar o significado de "permanecer", ou de "mudar"? Como é que o barco do museu permanece como "o" barco de Teseu" a partir das escamas novas que se lhe vão adicionando? Como é que o monte de destroços permanece como "o" barco de Teseu, se já não é obviamente o navio de Teseu?

Depois da saída desanimada do forasteiro, os atenienses depararam-se, inquietos, com a impossibilidade de uma resposta para todas estas questões e nem Plutarco nem Hobbes relatariam a sua decisão final.

Solução de Leibniz
O filósofo alemão, Gottfried Leibniz, para resolver a discussão filosófica e também a dúvida de Hobbes, sugeriu o que agora é chamado de lei de Leibniz . A Lei de Leibniz afirma:

 X é o mesmo que Y se, e apenas se, X e Y têm as mesmas propriedades e relações, assim, tudo o que é verdade para X é também verdadeiro de Y, e vice-versa.

Aplicando Lei de Leibniz para o problema filosófico do navio de Teseu, B é o mesmo que A se, e apenas se, B e A têm todas as mesmas propriedades e relações. O navio agora no porto tem as mesmas propriedades e relações que o navio que estava no porto de cinquenta anos atrás? Podemos ser tentados a dizer: "Claro que não! Eles têm muitas propriedades diferentes. Então, eles não podem ser o mesmo navio." Será que isso soa convincente? Para responder a esta pergunta, vamos considerar a propriedade, "contém mastro nº 1". Mastro nº 1 é um dos mastros que o navio original de Teseu tinha. A definitivamente tinha essa propriedade, mas B não é tão equipado, mas tem mastro nº 2, em seu lugar. Daqui resulta que B deve, portanto, ser diferente do A.

Muitos filósofos  se opõem veementemente a este ponto de vista. Porque, se este argumento funciona, então qualquer propriedade que mudou desde a última vez que se olhou para uma coisa significaria que a coisa não existe mais, e há uma coisa nova em seu lugar.

It's no secret that trends change and fashions come and go. In a day and age where there is increasing pressure to keep up with the Jones's, and boredom with last year's model sets in quickly, a smart decorator needs to find a way to shop on a budget. Enter Surplus Furniture and Mattress Warehouse!
Every room needs a focal point. A piece (or pieces) of furniture that act as a building point for the rest of the room. At Surplus Furniture and Mattress Warehouse they have an array of name brand sofa sets from some of the biggest upholstery manufacturers at discounted prices.
Choose from one of their many styles to start creating the ideal atmosphere. Whether it be modern deco, or country leisure, this store has what you need. Choosing a neutral colour for your set will allow you to choose from an array of accent colours to bring into the room.
However, at prices like these you can dare to be bold and step outside of the neutral palette. If you get bored of this look you can afford to change it up in a couple of years without sacrificing a year's salary.
These pieces will be your coffee and end tables, or cocktail table, lamps, designer rugs or perhaps a chair. Don't underestimate the power of carefully chosen accents. They allow you to bring colour and style choice to the space.
These are also pieces that can be changed frequently to change the feel of the room. Tired of last year's choice of a black busy rug and contemporary shaped lamps? Soften the look of the room with a new Ashley rug and antiqued lamps, all for a price lower than the cost of an evening out to dinner.
These are the little things that make the room. Throw pillows and picture frames or a vase or two, that add dimension and colour to the room. Luckily for the smart shopper, at Surplus Furniture the majority of sofa sets come with throw pillows so that money has already been saved!
Step #4. Admire this year's room on a budget and plan for the next!

Two news stories about the human brain are worth passing along this week.
The first is a potential breakthrough by Australian researchers in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. One of the primary causes of Alzheimer's is the build-up of what's known as amyloid plaques between the nerve cells of the brain (neurons) that interfere with the transmission of signals. Drug-based treatments for Alzheimer's have had limited success partly because the body's own blood-brain barrier, meant to protect the brain from invaders, does a good job of keeping out helpful chemicals too. The new treatment involves using focused therapeutic ultrasound—gentle sound waves that nudge the blood-brain barrier open to help the body's clean-up crew (microglial cells) to remove the offending plaques. So far, test results in mice have been very promising, restoring 75% of memory function without causing damage. That's still a long way from curing humans, true. But having witnessed the ravages of dementia up close in the last years of my mother's life, I appreciate any good news in the fight against it.
The second story involves a new calculation of the data processing capability of the human brain. Signals pass between neurons via special structures called synapses, so it's not hard to understand that the ability of a neuron to pass signals will be affected by the number and size of the synapses it has. It was thought that there are only a few different types and sizes of synapses in our brains, but when a team led by the Salk Institute recreated brain tissue down to the nanometre scale for the first time, they discovered that synapses change according to how they're used, and how often. The Salk scientists and their partners calculated that there could be as many as twenty-six different categories of synapses, adjusting themselves as needed, which goes a long way toward explaining how the brain accomplishes so much using so little energy (the power consumption of a dim light bulb, they say). But it also means that our brain's capacity for storing information could be ten times greater than previously thought—possibly in the range of a petabyte (a million gigabytes) which is the equivalent of all the storage in the World Wide Web.
Are you feeling impressed with yourself yet?
A long-lived urban myth suggested that we only use about ten percent of the capacity of our brains. That claim has been thoroughly discredited by neuroscientists, but the Salk Institute findings have to make you wonder if there isn't a way we could somehow make even better use of all the brainpower we have. It's a vast amount of storage, yes, but what if we could improve our information processing, filing, and retrieval systems? For one thing, we might never again lose our car keys (!), but we also might have less and less need for digital computers. Since synapses respond to need, picture flicking a mental switch to turn on "mathematics mode" or "language mode" to temporarily divert cognitive resources to a specific task. We could be specialized geniuses on demand! The idea of someday using a human brain to store secret data archives (like in the TV show Chuck or the movie Johnny Mnemonic) seems more plausible too.
But doesn't it also make you wonder if there aren't other potential capabilities within our brains that we've either forgotten how to use or just haven't learned yet? Most scientists would scoff at the idea of so-called "paranormal" powers like telekinesis and telepathy, and most science fiction writers relegate such things to fantasy instead of SF. I'm not so sure. For one thing, I accept that there are dimensions of existence that we don't currently perceive, but mathematicians and physicists readily include them in their theories about the universe. And I can accept that the universe includes an underlying level of information, call it what you will. Human beings don't normally tap into such things because we haven't needed to for our survival, but that doesn't mean it's beyond our ability if we only knew how.
I believe that each new discovery about the human body and mind in physical terms leads to a deeper understanding of ourselves in a holistic and even philosophical context. So news stories like these reinforce my conviction that the human adventure is far from over and there are many wonders yet to come.

Sonoelastographıc assessment of the age-related changes of the Achilles tendon
Turan1,
Özdemir
Teber3
Med Ultrason
Aims: Tendons are crucial for optimal muscle force transfer and subject to changes with aging which may impair functional ability of elderly individuals. Achilles is the largest and the strongest tendon in the body; therefore it is an excellent site for the radiologic investigation of aging of tendons. Sonoelastography (SE) is a new ultrasound-based imaging technique that provides information on elastic properties and stiffness of tissues. The aim of our study was to investigate the age-related alterations in Achilles tendons using SE. Material and methods: Forty five geriatric (age≥ 65 years) and 42 young (age 18-40 years) healthy consecutive subjects were enrolled. Subjects with known history of metabolic or endocrine diseases, sports or traumatic injuries, peripheral vascular disorders were excluded. Both Achilles tendons were scanned with a real-time SE probe at a frequency of 6-15 MHz. Strains of Achilles tendons' proximal, middle and distal parts were assessed semi-quantitatively with comparing a reference tissue. Results: Both SE methods -color coded evaluation and strain measurement-showed a remarkably stiffer tendon in the elderly subjects compared to young subjects in all thirds of Achilles tendons. In young subjects 84.9 % tendon thirds were blue, and 15.1% were green whereas, in elders 93.7% were blue and 6.3% were green (p=0.024). There was a significant correlation between age and stiffness of tendons assessed with strain indices. Conclusion: Our result showed increased tendon stiffness in elderly subjects which might be responsible for the high prevalence of Achilles tendinopathies observed in elderly subjects.

Ovotesticular Disorder of Sex Development: An Unusual Presentation
Kavak
Yalcinkaya
JCIS
Disorder of sex development is an inclusive term that refers to any problem where the genital organ is atypical in relation to chromosomes or gonads. Ovotesticular disorder of sex development, which is formerly known as "true hermaphroditism," is the most rare form among all disorders of sex development in humans. It is characterized by the simultaneous presence of both ovarian and testicular tissues in the same individual and characteristically presents with ambiguous genitalia in neonates or infants. Herein, we present an unusual case of a 19-year-old individual with phenotypically nearly normal male genitalia who presented with the complaint of bilateral breast enlargement.
Basic radiological assessment of synovial diseases: a pictorial essay
Celtikci3
Eur J Rheumatol
IntroductionThe synovium is a thin specialized membrane lining the diarthrodial joint surfaces, bursae, and tendon sheaths. Synovium coats the inner surface of the fibrous joint capsule, fat pads, and intraarticular ligaments. Other intraarticular structures such as the articular cartilage, menisci, labra, and small bone bare area are not covered by the synovium (1, 2). The synovium provides nutrition and lubrication to the joint cartilage by fluid secretion (3).Synovial diseases are classified as inflammatory, infectious, degenerative, traumatic, hemorrhagic, and neoplastic. There are also tumor-like conditions such as pigmented villonodular synovitis, nodular synovitis, giant cell tumor of tendon sheath, synovial chondromatosis/osteochondromatosis, and lipoma arborescens (1, 3).Damage in other intraarticular structures, particularly cartilages, generally occurs as a consequence of pathologic processes involving the synovium, leading to irreversible joint destruction (4). Imaging plays a crucial role in the early detection of synovial diseases prior to the occurrence of irreversible joint damage. Plain radiography, ultrasonography (US), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are utilized in the diagnosis and follow-up of synovial diseases. Gadolinium-enhanced MRI is the best tool to diagnose synovial disorders (1, 3).MRI findings of synovial diseases include thickening of the synovium, hyperintensity on T2-weighted images (T2WI) due to water accumulation, and prominent contrast enhancement on postcontrast T1-weighted images (T1WI). Because of the high soft-tissue contrast resolution of MRI, besides synovitis diagnosis, joint effusion, articular cartilage, subchondral bone, ligaments, muscles, and juxtaarticular soft tissues can be evaluated (5). Herein, each of these synovial diseases were explained in detail. Rheumatoid arthritisRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a joint-based chronic, progressively destructive inflammatory systemic disease. Synovial hypertrophy occurs initially, and locally invasive behavior causes cartilage destruction and bone erosions. RA proceeds progressively, ultimately causing multiple deformities. All synovial joints can be affected; however, metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints are the most frequently involved ones. Bilateral and symmetric involvement is a rule and atlantoaxial joint particularly involved in the spine (6, 7). RA also has extraarticular musculoskeletal manifestations such as rheumatoid nodules, enthesopathy, bursitis, tenosynovitis, and tendon rupture.Radiographs show typical findings such as soft-tissue swelling, marginal erosions, periarticular osteopenia, joint space narrowing, and joint subluxation. Besides bone alterations, this imaging modality is unable to display synovitis at an early stage. Identification of early changes facilitate the prevention of joint damage The synovium is a specialized tissue lining the synovial joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths of the body. It is affected by various localized or systemic disorders. Syn...

Correlation Between Medial Meniscal Extrusion Determined by Dynamic Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings of Medial‐Type Knee Osteoarthritis in Patients With Knee Pain
J Ultrasound Med
Objectives-The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between medial meniscal extrusion (MME) determined by dynamic ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging findings of medial-type knee osteoarthritis (OA).Methods-Single knees of 102 patients with knee pain were assessed by radiography, dynamic US, and magnetic resonance imaging. All knee radiographs were interpreted and grouped according to the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) scale. Medial meniscal extrusion in non-weight-bearing and weight-bearing positions and the difference of these values (ΔMME) were measured by dynamic US. The medial tibiofemoral compartments of all knees were evaluated and grouped according to the Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (WORMS). Mean values of non-weight-bearing MME, weight-bearing MME, and ΔMME AE standard deviations for groups formed according to the KL scale and WORMS system were compared.Results-We demonstrated that different from non-weight-bearing MME, weight-bearing MME was significantly correlated with not only high grades but also lower grades of cartilage damage and subchondral bone marrow lesions in medial-type knee OA. Although the difference in non-weight-bearing MME between cartilage status groups 1 and 2 was not significant (P = .071), there were significant differences in of weight-bearing MME between groups 1 and 2, between groups 2 and 3, and between groups 3 and group 4 (P = .003, .002, and .032, respectively).Conclusions-We found statistically significant associations between MME values and the severity of the OA findings according to both the KL scale and WORMS system. We offer dynamic US as an initial tool for the diagnosis and a screening method to estimate the severity of knee OA.
Meniscal Lesions in Geriatric Population: Prevalence and Association with Knee Osteoarthritis
Objective: This study evaluated the prevalence of different types of meniscal lesions among elderly patients with knee pain. Moreover, this study assessed the relationship between meniscal lesions and the presence of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) in the elderly population. Methods: The radiographs and magnetic resonance images of one knee out of 306 patients with knee pain aged 65-89 years were reviewed for knee OA and meniscal lesions. The prevalence of different types of meniscal lesions was calculated, and the relationship between the prevalence of meniscal lesion types and the presence of radiographic knee OA was analyzed. Results: Among 306 participants, 274 (89.5%) showed radiographic knee OA. We found one or more meniscal lesion(s) in 93% of the total subjects, in 94% of all patients with knee OA, and in 84% of all patients without knee OA. The prevalence of surgically target, possible-target, and nontarget lesions were 24%, 72%, and 69%, respectively. The prevalence of surgically target lesions was significantly higher in patients with knee OA than in those without it. The most common lesion observed was meniscal extrusion, followed by the horizontal and complex meniscal tears. Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that meniscal damage is considerably prevalent among elderly individuals with knee pain, especially in those with knee OA. The fact that surgically target and possible-target lesions constitute a substantial proportion of these lesions should be considered in the clinical approach to these patients.

SSL certificates are a tool that provides website protection and guarantees the confidentiality of data transmitted electronically. Full security is a result of the use of encrypted communication between computers. SSL certificates are registered on a particular domain name that contains information about the domain owner, his address, etc. This data is cryptographically protected and cannot be independently changed.
The history of SSL certificates goes back to 1994 when the Netscape company created the Secure Sockets Layer protocol to secure transmission of encrypted data stream. Thanks to its effectiveness, ease of use, and simple installation, it quickly started being used for making transactions carried out in electronic banks, during online auctions, and in online payment systems.
Trust – providing services that meet the global standards.
SSL certificates are issued by CERTUM PPC and are known for its multilingual technical support and compliance with international standards confirmed by the WebTrustSM/TM certificate.
In 2008 there were over 3 000 000 of servers and websites that were using the SSL certificates, but according to the research conducted by the NetCraft company (www.netcraft.com) , only about 1/3 of them were found to be safe and reliable. Other SSL certificates did not have the proper cryptographic security level or were offered by unidentified publishers.
The globally recognized WebTrust standard is a set of "best practices" in the area of information security and certification services. It allows to find in the most popular browsers, server software, and operating systems. When it comes to the trusted SSL certificates, the encrypted connection is established automatically. However, when the certificate is issued by an unknown certification center before establishing the connection, a warning message appears (it informs about the lack of trust and asks whether you still want to connect).
SSL certificates are issued in accordance to the WebTrust standard and they prove that servers and websites are secured. They also provide secure data exchange and, thanks to the global trust, help to build a positive image of companies or institutions that apply them around the world.
Only a small percentage of Internet users are aware of how computers connected to the Internet communicate and exchange data with each other. Simply speaking, everything can be performed thanks to protocols, a kind of own "language". The principle of this operation does not depend on Internet users. Even though the solution is convenient, it creates many fundamental questions about the safe use of Internet.
The SSL/TLS protocol is of the most common ways to secure the data transmission on the Internet. The use of cryptography and public key certificates, called in this case SSL certificates, enables an encrypted connection between a server and a user computer that connects to it. SSL/TLS protocol guarantees security by utilizing the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). While connecting, a symmetric key is created. It will be used to secure data exchange in a created session.
In order to compare the typical protocol with the SSL/TLS protocol, let's imagine a situation where paying by a credit card in an online store, we inform all other buyers about our card number, its expiry date, and CVS code, allowing them to use our money. When the encrypted connection is used, there is no possibility to obtain such important data.
How to buy the SSL/TLS certificate?
Provide so-called CSR – certificate signing request, generated by the CRS on the website or server where the SSL certificate will be installed.
Verify your domain by placing META tags or HTML file on the website. You need to do it in order to have an access to a website.
Once the verification of all data is completed, you certificate will be send on your email address.
Who is the SSL/TLS certificate for?
Share confidential information over the Internet with your colleagues and business partners.
Secure file transfer protocols (SFTP).
In case of any doubts or questions, do not hesitate to ask as for further information. To do this, call us or use the online contact form that you can find on our website.

Over the final six years, for the explanation that beginning of the banking disaster, the amount of deals supplied to high worth mortgage customers has lowered. As lenders luxuriate in fallen by the wayside and these that remain luxuriate in change into extra relevant to lend, the amount of fine mortgage deals of 1 million kilos or extra has fallen sharply.
Nonetheless, evaluate has came upon one residence which has benefited over that point. Excessive deposit mortgages, for folk making an are trying to borrow lower than 60 per cent of their house's worth, luxuriate in increased drastically as lenders compete for this low-threat enterprise.
Be taught from financial analysts Moneyfacts has came upon that the amount of mortgage merchandise in the 60 per cent 'loan to worth' bracket has rocketed in latest years. Prior to the banking disaster high 'loan to worth' mortgages of ninety per cent or extra had been the norm, as had been high earnings multiples but such mortgage deals are now nearly non-existent. Now that 60 per cent 'loan to worth' mortgages are the norm the first time purchaser market has stagnated but banks and other lenders remain fervent to stable high deposit mortgage enterprise.
While mortgage deals for first time investors and at greater loan to values are quiet tough to arrive by, there are loads of deals while you will luxuriate in a fine depositof 40 per cent or extra. The low threat nature of this form of borrowing has led many lenders to provide unbelievable charges in repeat to entice factual fine fine mortgage enterprise.
Moreover as high deposit mortgage deals from mainstream lenders, there are also endless extra merchandise accessible by plot of interior most banks in the UK and in one other nation. Excessive worth mortgage customers who need over £ 500,000 at a low loan to worth luxuriate in a unbelievable amount of deals honest now. The Govt's Funding for Lending diagram has been a contributing remark to the increased amount of deals.
Nonetheless, some experts think concerning the authorities initiative is now not concentrated on the honest form of borrower; these purchasing for a ninety per cent loan to worth, which the initiative was designed to attend. The diagram effectively has true widened the amount of deals for folk that already had a preference.
Whenever you're struggling to agree a house loan, you're now not alone. Banks and other lending establishments are focusing greater than ever on winning customers handiest and even some greater get-worth customers are feeling the results. And, it's now not true the fine high boulevard banks and building communities that are limiting the deals accessible. Privatebanks, which luxuriate in historically prided themselves on organising interior most relationships with their potentialities, luxuriate in begun to weed out the much less winning customers.
Excessive 'loan to worth' mortgages for prime get worth finance customers arealso extra troublesome to assemble as some smaller banks are ceasing lending for such house loans. Fortunately, there are quiet some interior most banks with an urge for meals to lend to fine mortgage customers and pretty a few London mortgage brokers luxuriate in developed relationships with interior most banks in the UK and in one other nation who're quiet fervent to lend to high get worth people, oftenwirelessly aggressive pricing.

Boys & Girls Club Serves Healthy Snacks And Gets Kids Moving With Local And National Partnerships!
Richland County Boys & Girls Club is helping to promote healthy eating and physical activity with the selection of nutritious and appropriate snacks for its members when Club is open. Janelle Buxbaum, Operational Program Manager for the local club, works hand in hand with individuals and businesses in Richland County to bring the Healthy Snack Program to Club members. Healthy food options that are donated include milk, yogurt, fresh fruit and vegetables. Summer of 2015 was the start of a first garden program with Club members to understand healthy food processes; ground to table.
Boys & Girls Club of Richland County averages over 100 members daily, each receiving a healthy snack after school. From July 2015 to Dec. 2015 the Club served over 9,500 snacks to members.
Though the Club has many contributors that support the Club's Healthy Snack Program, Reynold's, Reese & Rays, and Oneok were the Club's largest 2015 contributors.
The Club was awarded two linked grants (Wanna Play & Triple Play) from Coco-Cola and Major League Baseball in which a portion helps support healthy snacks eating and education. Wanna Play is a national program that encourages children to increase their overall fitness and health through physical activity and improved nutritional habits, while learning the fundamental skills of baseball and softball. The Triple Play program encompasses three components to promote a healthy lifestyle through good nutrition, regular physical activity and positive relationships with others! Club members who participate will understand the benefits of eating smart and being physically active. Members are adopting healthier habits by participating in fun, engaging activities at the Club. Most importantly, they learn to take small steps toward positive, lasting behavior change.
Anyone who would like more information about the Club's Healthy Snacks Program or any other programs, please contact the Richland County Boys & Girls Club at 406-433-6763.

Revealing Briefs
by Vince Leibowitz
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Attorneys for Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District Number 1 were in Washington, D.C. on Monday arguing before a federal three-judge panel that the preclearance requirements in the Voting Rights Act of 1965 are unconstitutional. Taking a page from several GOP Texas Congressmen who were on the forefront of the battle last summer over reauthorization of the VRA, the utility district filed suit last year about a week after the law was reauthorized. The district is alleging that the provision, which requires government bodies of all stripes in Texas and other Southern states to have any change in election procedures cleared by the U.S. Justice Department, is unconstitutional and stigmatizes jurisdictions to which it applies.
Preclearance is "the scarlet letter that these jurisdictions wear," argued Gregory S. Coleman, an attorney who represents the utility district. Emmet G. Sullivan, an African American and one of the three judges who are hearing the case, responded to Coleman's claim that there were no widespread patterns of discrimination that would require preclearance by asking Coleman if he believed there is "no longer discrimination in our society?"
A decision on the case, which legal analysts say will likely reach the U.S. Supreme Court, is expected later this year.
NACOGDOCHES & GREENVILLE — The Texas Conservative Coalition has been taking its show on the road of late, teaming up with legislators in two East Texas counties to host "town hall meetings."
The group was hosted by State Rep. Wayne Christian, a Republican from Center, last week in Nacogdoches and included state reps from other districts including Rep. Dan Flynn, a Van Republican, who hosted a similar town hall meeting Monday night in Greenville.
Of special note is that the group's executive director, John Colyandro, made the trip and was guest speaker at both events. Colyndaro, of course, the indicted former official of Texans for a Republican Majority — Tom DeLay's pet political action committee, which remains embroiled in lawsuits and criminal trials following the 2002 election cycle. Hughes and Flynn were both recipients of TRMPAC's largesse in 2002. Flynn received $25,000 and Hughes received more than $40,000 — the largest total of any single state representative candidate in Texas — for his race against former State Rep. Bob Glaze, a Gilmer Democrat.
GALVESTON — Galveston County is poised to become the first county in the state to take advantage of a new highway funding method, "pass-through toll bonds." The Galveston County Commissioners Court last week took preliminary steps to provide for the widening of Farm-to-Market Road 646 using the bonds. The project is expected to cost about $50 million. These bonds don't actually involve tolls, in spite of their name. The county will actually front the money for the construction and manage the project and be reimbursed from state funds based upon vehicle traffic. If, however, traffic isn't enough to justify the project, the county could end up footing the bill for, at minimum, half of the construction. The pass-through method was approved by the Texas Legislature in 2003. •

You're planning the trip to Newport Beach and you want a great vacation rental, right on the beach and boardwalk. Everyone is relying on you to pick the right one.
You're doing great so far! This is one of the most popular units on the oceanfront. Let's chat, and see if it's right for you.
- This is the ground floor of an oceanfront triplex, right on the boardwalk and between both piers. I would recommend this unit to people who wanted a good, clean, modern, mid-range option with a nice patio and immediate access to the beach.
This unit is a three bedroom, two bath, with a Murphy bed in the living room. The master suite has a king-size bed, and the two additional bedrooms each feature two twin beds. Sleeps eight pretty comfortably. If you have more in your party, you could also rent the upstairs 3 bedroom unit, or the rear 1 bedroom unit. The upper and lower units are almost exactly the same, except the upper unit has vaulted ceilings and a much better ocean view, but the downstairs has no stairs to climb and has the highly popular boardwalk patio.
- Adequate. There is one car parking on the carport. It's not the tallest or widest carport ever. You'll probably want to keep a smaller vehicle in the carport, and use that one to get around town with, and leave any larger ones on the street.
- This is a roomy, desirable mid-range oceanfront, one that does a lot of little things right to create a really enjoyable final product, and the pricing reflects that. This unit is so popular it books a year in advance for half of summer, and is one of the more popular oceanfronts in town.
- If you want more luxury, we have that. If you want a better price, we have that. If you're looking for the sweet spot in between, this is it.
*Are* you looking for the sweet spot between luxury and economy? You are? Why haven't you booked yet? I already warned you that this place literally books a year in advance. Someone else may be reserving your dates right now while you sit there reading this sentence.
Another great year at 1616.
Rented the lower level Labor Day Weekend. Great location, very comfortable rental. Enjoyed hanging out at the place, although we did venture out a couple of evenings to find Newport was a bit too busy so we were happy to return to our place. BBQing/cooking was no chore at all because of the beautiful scenery. Lots of stuff to do within walking distance which is great because parking can be an issue if you have more than one vehicle(not the property's fault)...that goes for every beach town during the summer months. The property managers were awesome...very helpful. We hope to rent again here soon.
The location is perfect- right on the beach and close to Newport Pier. The house itself was great. It was clean and well maintained. The propery management company was very easy to work with. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!
Group of 8 of us including 2 teenagers and 2 toddlers. Terrific location, beautiful living space. Easy access, everything we could want from a beachfront rental. Can't wait to do it again!
Hi, The rental was in the perfect location for us. Great view from patio! We enjoyed our five days and nights there.
Generally the place was clean and had everything we needed.
Exceptions: The shower curtains had mold on the bottom and there were no bathtub floor mats. The metal edge on the step down from the hallway to the living room was loose. The patio screen door bottom track was broken. These things were just minor issues for us. Overall we loved the place.
We had a Ladies Reunion with high school friends. This location was perfect and we had plenty of room for 14 people. Everything that we needed in the was of supplies were there. I highly recommend this location if you are looking for a well located place to stay at Newport Beach.
The beach house was clean and very spacious. Close to beach, view was amazing. I would stay there again and again. It was just like the pictures. Thank you White Sail Realty!
We would go back again to this rental. Can't beat the convenience of the beach outside your door and the strand that takes you to surrounding restaurants, stores, etc... Half hour walk to Balboa Fun Zone. Parking was convenient in garage.
Great location close to restaurants. The management company was very helpful...let us print baseball tickets and brought dishwasher detergent when there was none. House was clean and had everything we needed.
This house was great for our needs. We actually rented the Lower and Rear units. We were having family vacation for our daughters 16th birthday. It accommodated our needs and was in a perfect location. We rented bikes for the week from this awesome little shop about 2 street down from us across from 7/11 store. It's located about 5 blocks south of Newport Pier which was great because we were close enough but far enough from the party houses. Beach there is a little more quiet so it was nice.
The house itself is well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen and basic things to get you started. Fun beach decor and the view from Lower Unit and patio was beautiful and peaceful! We lived it!!
The only thing would be to replace the fans in the bedrooms as they weren't working and it can get a little warm back there. No A/C because it's the beach and really not needed.
Overall it was great and we would rent this place again! And White Sail actually makes the entire process so easy! They send reminders along the way and answer any questions promptly.
Use the bike rental place, Beach Bike Rentals. Chase is the owner, young, enthusiastic and great place. And prices are really reasonable!
Having previously stayed in several places in this general area near the Pier, I can honestly say this place is the best! The location, condition, amenities, and management are superb. It is near enough to the Pier to take an easy stroll there yet not directly on top of the congestion and noise around it. The interior is clean and beautifully appointed with everything you might need. White Sail Agency is amazing - very responsive and thorough. And there is covered parking for one car. We would definitely return to this property!
A nice 3 bedroom( with family room, Murphy queen pull-out) get-away on the boardwalk. Good location from Balboa and Newport piers. Great family environment. Very clean! Convenient washer and dryer in house with supplies. Nice appliances and stocked kitchen cabinets. Reality company always accessible, and pleasant to work with. Linen service provided, but optional. Portable fans in all the bedrooms. The larger master bedroom has plenty of room for additional blow-up mattress. The 2 smaller bedrooms have twin beds only. One room we pulled the 2 beds together, with a king mattress pad, and made it a king, instead for 2 adults. Been going there for 15 years, and they are continually upgrading the place.
Everything was great. Just as advertised. Great location. Very easy to work with the management. Would do it again.
This house was incredible. Well stocked kitchen in great condition. Comfortable beds and cozy living room. Super clean. Patio was just perfect and we grilled every night. The beach was clean and safe- perfect for my kids. Everyone who came by the pedestrian path was friendly. Short walk to great food. Only suggestion: some extra blankets in the unit. We can't wait to come back!!!
The property was very nice and the location was perfect. We had one slight maintenance issue and the management was quick to respond and fix the issue.
This house is in a great location, with plenty of non-crowded beach access. It is comfortable, and has a great patio and beautiful beach view. They have been continuously updating the inside. Appliances in great shape.
We were having an event at the American Legion at 15th street and this was the perfect location. There were 5 women sharing the home and surprisingly, we found that the home was stocked with everything we needed. We never cooked at the property but there was everything we would have needed if we had. The staff was great at communicating quickly by text, and even accommodated an early check in. There was ample room should we have had more guests, but the only thing that we felt was lacking was the number of towels provided. There was a washer/dryer, but it is difficult while on vacation to be washing towels every day. Otherwise, I would totally recommend Dolphin View to anyone.
White Sail goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is good. But the overall condition of the house is poor. It is as simple as paint tearing off the wall to having multiple lights out in the bathroom. For the price you pay I would have expected more giving the condition of the house. There is also no AC and they provide fans, but again the fans need a good lint cleaning to work properly. Location is great!
This property was awesome! My family of 4 children and my two parents stayed in this house and it was the perfect size. Loved it!
Great location and House was clean. 1 shelf (pantry like) in kitchen kept falling but everything else was in good shape. They could use another umbrella for the patio and definitely more dishwashing detergent and toilet paper. Really not enough for a week stay for 6. Sleeping arrangements were good.
The parking is really tight for 3 vehicles.
It's a little pricey for a week stay but we would stay again.
The place is great! Comfortable, clean and well stocked!
hours of the morning. The staff couldn't have been more understanding or helpful and went out of their way to end our weekend on a good note!
Thanks for everything, great place for the reasonable rent!
Great location. Clean. Well appointed kitchen. Plenty of room for our group of 6 adults. Screen door going out to patio needs replacing...should have been replaced prior to leasing out.
We had a great time on our family vacation. The house was in a prime location with easy access to the beach, close to restaurants and a parking space. It was just perfect! We will return again in the future.
We've stayed here for over 10 years, the staff is always so courteous and helpful. The property is clean and located in a beautiful spot.
It is a dated property but the location and views, STUNNUNG!!
Cant beat the location, unit needs serious updating but its the beach!
The house has everything you need. It's in a great location close to two piers with food and bars. The is sitting on the patio watching people go by on the boardwalk. The house is clean and in great condition....we had no complaints!
We rented the three bedroom lower story of this house in February. It is extremely convenient to both the Balboa pier and Newport pier but the condition of the house is poor, especially as it relates to the price charged. Its not that there as anything broken - it was just old and battered. The carpeting is pretty old and dingy looking. I didn't appreciate being left instructions that I had to strip all the beds and clean and put away all dishes before I left- what is the $225 cleaning fee for! Overall it was just overpriced.
The location is great. This is not fancy, but very comfortable & clean for a family vacation at the beach. walking distance to shops/food/entertainment. We have stayed here 3 times and love sitting and watching the ocean and the people walking by at this BEACH RENTAL. The layout of the unit is perfect for 6 adults and a couple of kids on the Murphy Bed. As far as the kitchen goes, everything you many need is there. If you can, rent the upstairs unit also, same layout and even better view of the ocean, just doesn't have the patio space for a group to sit outside like this downstairs unit. Celebrated our 60th anniversary there with family & friends and had a great time! You won't be disappointed.
We loved staying at Dolphin View. The condo is well appointed and perfect for our three young children. They could play in the sand right outside the door.
Another great week in Newport.


In continuing its mission to take history out of the textbooks by honoring a local veteran each month of the school year, the Hampton Bays School District is paying tribute to U.S. Army veteran George Hitchcock by flying an American flag in his honor throughout the month of January.
"The district is proud to honor Mr. Hitchcock for his bravery and service to the United States," said Superintendent of Schools Lars Clemensen.
Hitchcock was recognized on Jan. 25 with a ceremony at Hampton Bays Elementary School. During the tribute, middle school students read his biography and middle school student Marilyn Ramos recited her patriotic essay, "Why I Honor the American Flag." The event culminated with the raising of the flag on the school's flagpole.
Born in Brooklyn on June 25, 1946, Hitchcock moved with his family to Rockville Centre six years later and graduated from South Side High School in 1964. He went on to study business administration at Stevens Business College in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, but decided business was not for him and looked into joining the military. Unfortunately, the Coast Guard and Air Force had long waiting lists for enlistment, and he was drafted by the U.S. Army in 1967.
In March 1967, Hitchcock arrived at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, for his basic training. He graduated in May and boarded a bus to Fort Knox, Kentucky, for advanced individual training in the MOS 11D20 for armor. There, the 20-year-old received his orders to ship out to Vietnam.
When he arrived in Vietnam in August 1967, Hitchcock was assigned to the 11th Armored Cavalry as a reconnaissance scout on an armored personnel carrier. The 11th Cavalry was constantly on the move in Vietnam. In January 1968, while the 11th Cavalry was on operations near the Cambodian border, the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops launched the Tet Offensive, attacking every major city and province in South Vietnam. As part of the United States' response, the 11th Cavalry was ordered to support operations in Bien Hoa near the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon.
On Feb. 3, 1968, Hitchcock's armored personnel carrier took a direct hit from a rocket-propelled grenade and he was wounded. He suffered shrapnel wounds to his neck, arm, hip and legs and was medevaced to the 93rd Hospital in Bien Hoa for life-saving surgery. While recovering, the hospital was attacked by mortar fire and Hitchcock once again found himself in peril, as he could not be moved to a bunker because of all the tubes and wires attached to his body. He was flown to Japan for another month of hospitalization.
In March 1968, Hitchcock was reassigned to the United States for re-evaluation at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and then sent home on convalescent leave. After recovering, he was assigned to the 6th Armored Cavalry at Fort Meade, Virginia. During this time, the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated and the 6th Cavalry was tasked with protecting the nation's capital from rioting. Hitchcock felt he had left a war in Vietnam only to find himself in what felt like another war in the United States. Fortunately for him, his commanding officer, after reading his medical history, transferred him to the First Army Data Processing Center in Fort Meade, where he remained until his honorable discharge in March 1969.
Hitchcock was awarded the Purple Heart, the Vietnam Service Medal, the Combat Infantry Badge, the 60 Day Vietnam Ribbon, the National Defense Medal and the New York State Conspicuous Service Citation for his meritorious service.
After his discharge, Hitchcock served as an officer with the Suffolk County Park Police, working in plain clothes and as a detective investigator. He also attended night school at Suffolk County Community College and earned a degree in criminal justice. He continued his education at the New York Institute of Technology until he had to stop to care for his father, who was suffering from Parkinson's disease.
Hitchcock moved to Hampton Bays and met wife, Carol, at the Boardy Barn. The two have been happily married for 47 years and have two children, Sean and Beth, and two grandchildren, Trevor and Leah. Hitchcock enjoys his present hobby of "treasure hunting" with a metal detector on the sands of Suffolk County beaches and parks. He is a member of the Long Island Treasure Hunters Club, whose members try to return found items of value to their owners. In addition, he is an active member of the American Legion in Hampton Bays, a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5350, and a member of the Suffolk County Police Conference, the Disabled American Veterans and the 11th Armored Cavalry Association.

Why Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF)'s Earnings Came Up Too Short
Published on May 29, 2013 at 2:40 pm by The Motley Fool in News
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE:ANF) just saw a first quarter that came up too short for investors. Overall sales are down 8.9% and the company's stock price plummeted 8% immediately following its earnings release.
A dismal quarterly report almost seems like karma for Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE:ANF) — it not only comes on the heels of the resurfacing of CEO Mike Jeffries' controversial 2006 comments about only wanting good-looking clientele, but also after news that Abercrombie refuses to produce clothing above a size 10. While the controversies may not have affected Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE:ANF)'s sales this quarter, there are several reasons behind the first-quarter backslide. Let's take a look at the nitty-gritty of this struggling retailer.
According to Jeffries, Abercrombie's first-quarter decrease in sales was largely due to a lack of merchandise. The CEO cited "more significant inventory shortage issues than anticipated," which included lags in deliveries for the company's spring 2013 line of clothing.
This incident is a complete reversal of fortune from Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE:ANF)'s 2012, during which the company had far too much inventory on its hands and had to majorly mark down items. Jeffries believes the company is through the worst of the clothing shortage, though, saying, "with the inventory headwinds largely behind us, we expect to see continued sequential improvement in the second quarter."
Changing tastes of American teens
Abercrombie isn't the only trendy retailer that has just had a depressing quarter. One of its closest rivals, clothier Aeropostale, Inc. (NYSE:ARO), is also suffering. Aeropostale, Inc. (NYSE:ARO)'s stock sank 10%, even lower than Abercrombie's, following its earnings call, which revealed a 9% drop in revenue and a 14% decline in comparable-store sales. Seeing both companies suffer so similarly may lead some to wonder if teen tastes are starting to turn elsewhere.
This wouldn't be wholly surprising. In the past, companies like Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE:ANF), Aeropostale, Inc. (NYSE:ARO), and even Urban Outfitters, Inc. (NASDAQ:URBN) have excelled at capitalizing on the tastes of the American teenager. At its best, this demographic is a wildly profitable one, and at its worst, it is incredibly volatile, with no guarantee of continued brand loyalty.
Throwing millions of dollars into research and development can pay off in the short term, but inevitably these customers grow up, and so do their tastes. While this makes way for a new crop of teens (and thus fresh revenue), there's no way to predict with 100% accuracy what these new consumers will like, much less whether it will be at all similar to the previous generation's tastes. For the moment at least, stores like Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE:ANF) appear to be suffering at the wrong side of this gamble.
So what does it mean?
Abercrombie isn't necessarily drowning, but its latest earning call might suggest that long-term investing in teen culture is a highly risky choice. If you can't tell whether the company will have its same customer base in 10 years, or even if its products will maintain their appeal in 10 years, you probably shouldn't trust it a chunk of your portfolio to it.
