Editor: The following are comments to an article published recently at the Voice of San Diego, entitled The Coastal Height Limit’s Legacy, that to us, at least, signals the beginning of the attack on the thirty foot height limit at San Diego’s coast.
Comment from Geoff Page to VOSD article:
The pro-development comments here sure stand out; I agree with Mr. Wood. The language used, like smart growth, walkability, city of villages, is designed to make increased density sound acceptable. The new frontier for development is this kind of thing because there are no more wide swatches of land left for development. The 30-foot height limit law is perfect example of the difference between what people want and what development interests want. in this case, the people won and developers have been trying everything they could to get around the law, with remarkably little success.
I contacted the VOSD reporter because I wanted to see them dig into the municipal code changes that took place last year. Every bit of the language regarding the 30-foot height limit was altered in last year’s revamp of the Municipal Code. The result is a new interpretation of how to measure a structure in the coastal height area. My hope was that the VOSD would talk to the City about these changes and see what they had to say but the article did not contain anything along those lines. Hopefully, there will be a follow up story. As of right now, it appears that the City is allowing a home on a slope to go up 30 feet from the highest grade and drawing a straight line across the top of the lot. If the back is lower, the back of a building can now be as ,much as 40 feet high. This is a change. It used to be that the measurement was taken from the lowest spot five feet from the building. As the lot sloped up, the building could go up as long as it did not exceed 30 feet above existing grade. This meant that no part of the building would exceed 30 feet from grade. This needs to be investigated in better detail.

Your article relative to the 30-foot height limit reminds me of the Vietnam military official who famously said we are going to have to bomb that city to save it. Bombing San Diego’s coastal zone with 60-foot high-rise condos ruins our city — as bombing tends to do.
You imply that the coastal zone is from “Point Loma to La Jolla” when actually it is from Del Mar to the end of Imperial Beach. To say “it withstood a battery of legal challenges” is an understatement. The 30-foot limit was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court and when the decision was handed down a justice said “communities can zone themselves as they see fit.” This initiative means the people of San Diego don’t have to be intimidated by political and rich developer interests.
The initiative was passed by the residents of the entire city — Clairemont, University City, Tierrasanta and City Heights. Imagine the impertinence of the voters in those areas thinking they had a right to unrestricted access to their public beaches.
Your article misstates the goal of the initiative as “maintaining ocean views” — explicitly. The real goal was to prevent San Diego from becoming a Miami Beach or a Rio de Janeiro. I should know; unlike Mr. Keatts, I voted for it.
Matthew Yglesias, who would readily lower our standard of living, should pedal his snake oil in Carmel and Santa Barbara where the rents are really high. When he has convinced those communities to reduce their zoning restrictions, then San Diego should consider it.
Why was this limit done with a voter’s initiative? Precisely so that politicians like Mr. LaCava cannot tweak the limit to 34 feet or some other arbitrary number. Variances to the people’s initiative do not exist, and that is why the grassroots community went to all the trouble to get a height limit through the Supreme Court. They could not and do not trust their local authorities, who clearly have diverse interests. The “rigidity” of the law is what keeps big money developers from being able to change the height law for the benefit of their own bank accounts.

Midway through our round the world trip with Secretary of Defense Gates, we made an unannounced visit to Afghanistan. Arriving under the cover of darkness we landed in Kabul Sunday evening. We had switched from the E4B to a C-17 for our descent into Kabul. I’ve corkscrewed into BIAP a number of times so i’m familiar with combat landings in this aircraft. Still, when the red lights go on and the security guys don the armor plate, I’m reminded of just how dangerous a place like Afghanistan can be.
Gates’ plane touched down around 1930 local time, and we accompanied him to Camp Eggers. The Secretary had made on the record comments on the flight from Singapore, expressing cautious optimism about progress on the ground in Afghanistan, so traveling press headed right to the PAO to file their stories. We had to shoot a standup and take a voice track for CNN correspondent, Jamie McIntyre and then get the tape to a local “fixer” who would ship it to the feedpoint.
Afterwards, some of us unwound outside our housing talking with great young soldiers before we called it a night. While accommodations at the base weren’t quite as nice as the the Shangri-La we’d just left in Singapore, I slept well and was up at 0500.
Monday was a big day for the Secretary. Boarding helos, we choppered to Morehouse Commando Training Camp just on the outskirts of Kabul, where the first ever Afghan Special Operations Force battalion. We followed Gates as he reviewed the training and spoke with Afghan commanders. Afghan National Army Lt. Col. M. Farid Ahmadi spoke with Gates as he toured the training camp. He was very proud of the his men saying they were the best people for the job. CNN’s Jamie McIntyre interviewed him about the Army’s progress.
Then it was back on the helos to a flight back to the LZ in Kabul. Gates met with US commanders before we moved to the Presidential Palace, where the Secretary would later meet with President Hamid Karzai. Security at the palace is thorough to say the least. After being screened, we did the typical waiting associated with these types of events and then lined up for a shot of Gates arriving at the palace. Commander Greg Hicks had kindly pre-set my tripod for the joint press conference between Gates and Karzai, so my only challenge was positioning myself for the photo op with the two leaders.
This is all about a burst of pure physical speed up the stairs, elbowing past what seemed like 15 local camera crews. Good thing I’ve got a long stride! In the press conference Gates and Karzai touched on a number of topics ranging from reconstruction, to Afghanistan’s suppression of the Taliban’s rumored spring offensive, to Iran’s involvement with the emergence of sophisticated new IED’s.
Next, we were off to Kandahar in Southern Afghanistan, where the Secretary met privately with troops, to get “ground truth” from the boots on the ground – labeled as a free and open discussion about what works and what doesn’t. We were allowed what felt like 30 seconds for a photo op at the top. I think at this point in the trip the Secretary of Defense had grown tired of seeing me and more than once remarked in this photo op that as soon as they could speak freely (hint for me to leave!) they would begin the open dialogue.
I always try to eek out as much video as possible from these events and don’t like to try the principals patience. As much as the OSD bristles at comparisons between Rumsfeld and Gates, I must say this Secretary of Defense has yet to scowl at me. I’ve been to these events with Rumsfeld and at a very precise point in the photo op, Rumsfeld would shoot an unmistakable look at the camera crew, which unequivocally meant LEAVE THE ROOM.
We left Afghanistan that evening flying out of Kandahar on the C-17 that brought us there. This was my first trip to Afghanistan and it was a truly unique experience, but I am quite content that we’ve left and are on our way to Normandy for D-Day memorial ceremonies.
At this point it’s important to note that, working to coordinate all of the logistics, update editorial elements, and generally make sure things run smoothly, is a tremendously hard-working, capable, and talented colleague of mine named Courtney Kube. Long after we’ve all gone to bed she’s on the phone coordinating satellite feeds, writing ediorial notes and doing it all with personality and energy that are miles long.
Flying from Asia to Europe, we’re watching Saving Private Ryan on the plane as I write this. Fitting as we gear up to cover the Secretary’s participation in D-Day ceremonies at Normandy.
Here’s what my traveling buddies filed From Kabul.

From Michael Ledeen: Don’t You Just Love Hezbollah? It’s So Interesting…Like Freddie Kruger
White House terror "expert" John Brennan – and his boss, President Obama – seem to think that we should be cultivating the “moderate” elements in Hezbollah [viz.]The Obama administration is looking for ways to build up “moderate elements” within the Lebanese Hezbollah guerrilla movement and to diminish the influence of hard-liners, a top White House official said on Tuesday.
John Brennan, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, met with Lebanese leaders during a recent visit.
"Hezbollah is a very interesting organization," Brennan told a Washington conference…
All the president’s "friends" in Hezbollah… Quatsch! (For readers in Rio Linda: quatsch is German lingo for nonsense.)
Not to put too fine a point on it, but can there be anything more imbecilic than the president ascribing civilization to the assassin beheaders of Iran’s Hezbollah?
Good old PersianKiwi was right. It is no accident that the people of Iran want freedom from these death-making slaveholder mullahs.

Welcome back, Happy New Year to all etc. As everyone else is doing it, I thought I’d repeat last year’s exercise of kicking off the year with a look back at this blog’s stats and highlights for 2012. First the numbers:
• Total number of visits: 457,698 (up from 291,712 in 2011 and 182,023 in 2010)
• Total number of unique visitors: 277,888 (up from 165,433 in 2011 and 98,472 in 2010), viewing a total of 721,961 pages
But I don’t really believe these numbers – does the average reader really read fewer than 3 posts per year? Surely, either the number ofvisits is too low or the number of unique visitors is too high or (most likely explanation) I have misread Google Analytics – can anyone shed any light?
Most popular posts (descending order)
What Brits say v what they mean – handy de-coding device, June 2011
How to get a job in development – an FP2P guide, December 2012
Conclusion: punters like golden oldies (the top two came from the previous year) and internal soul searching for practitioners, preferably accompanied by an online poll.
Overall, though, the most striking feature of the traffic is its regularity (see graphic – the dips are weekends)
Where do readers live? Numbers are for visits – a pleasing geographical spread, but still far too northern for my liking, and the order is remarkably unvarying from year to year:
UK 123,047 (29% of total)
India 20,903 (up from 4th in 2011)
Canada 20,850 (down from 3rd)
Belgium 7,436 (new entrant)
Philippines 6,502 (new entrant)
South Africa 5,914
Numbers aren’t everything though, so Happy New Year to the single readers from Andorra, Sao Tome and Principe, Norfolk Island and Mayotte (Mayotte?). But why no visits from Turkmenistan, South Sudan, Central African Republic or Western Sahara?
These stats are (I think) just for people clicking through to the site, but people access blogs in other ways too. Google Reader subs rose from 2736 t0 3454 over the year, and Facebook users from 1476 to 2624. But Twitter was the real boom area, more than doubling from 3355 to 7664 (at roughly mid year, I started tweeting, rather than just sending out automated alerts of new posts, with no discernible impact on the rate of increase of followers).
And with that I drag myself away from the hypnotic attractions of Google Analytics (you can even see which cities have people reading the blog in real time – how cool is that?) Back to business as usual tomorrow.

Laundry magnetic systems are the new and improved way of washing your clothes and with these you will never need to use detergents or chemicals ever again when washing your clothes. These new magnets are supposed to be so powerful that they can generate a magnetic field that can change the surface tension of the water. This means that once you have the magnets fit in to the washing machine and you load the clothes and fill the water up, you will not need to add any detergent or bleach to the washing machine as the magnets will make sure that the water rubs against the clothes so the dirt and stains are removed from the clothes leaving them clean.
For anyone wondering why the surface tension of the water matters when cleaning clothes, that is exactly how detergents manage to clean up clothes. The chemicals in the detergents change the surface tension of the water and that is how the dirt is removed from the clothes. However, when you use detergents, the chemicals inside of it also harm the fabric of the clothes and that causes the clothes to become worn out and lose colour. With the magnets the clothes do not have to face any chemicals and they are not harmed in any way when being washed.
A big benefit of this whole thing is that the magnets are actually environmentally friendly and they do not harm or pollute the environment in any way. The chemicals in detergents can end up harm the environment in a lot of ways, especially water bodies where the used laundry water ends up. It can harm the aquatic life of the place it is dumped in. You can go online to https://www.thetrendjunkie.com/magnetic-laundry-system-reviews/ and find out more about the magnets and their benefits.


The SoftiMAX STXM end-station is currently offering STXM and Ptychography imaging techniques to general users. It is a room-temperature system that operates down to 1e-6 mbar, but can also be back-filled with gases.
The STXM mode uses the PMT detector, and is limited in resolution by the spot size of the illumination. At 300 eV, the smallest spot size is about 30 nm, between 700 eV and 1600 eV, the smallest spot size is about 22 nm, and above 1600 eV the smallest spot size is about 60 nm. STXM can provide absorption contrast. The energy resolution is better than 50 meV in the commissioned energy range.
The Ptychography mode uses a pixel detector; Currently the Andor Zyla is available. The sample can be moved out of focus to adjust the illumination spot size and the overlap. The detector distance can also be varied. The data can be analyzed on the MAX IV computing cluster using the Ptypy-package. Ptychography can provide both absorption and phase contrast.
The following detectors are available:
|Detector type||Model and specification|

This assignment requires images that reveal particular physical properties of a single object via the application of the lighting techniques covered leading up to the assignment.
The physical properties are:
- Shape – This is all about the outline of the object strongly contrasting with the background with minimum detail being visible in the object.
- Form – Revealing the 3 dimensional nature of the object.
- Texture – Revealing all the qualities of the objects surface.
- Colour – Choose a kind of lighting the shows the subjects colour as strong as possible or use other unusual or attractive lighting.
Preparation and Planning
I felt it was important to select an object that would provide enough scope to demonstrate the multiple lighting techniques that had been looked at leading to this assignment. The object that I selected was an electric guitar.
Having selected the object, I started thinking about the images I wanted to capture and I decided that I would like to present them all as potential music album or cd covers. Although this wasn’t specifically part of the assignment, as I was considering what the images would be like, I was instinctively picturing this kind of presentation. Relating the presentation of the image to its subject felt like it would give them a greater meaning than just presenting different lighting techniques.
With this in mind, I began some research into existing guitar album covers as sources of inspiration. It was immediately obvious that a lot of album covers feature the artist playing the instrument. This seems like an obvious idea from a marketing point of view but it wasn’t how I wanted the images to look and would also have strongly reduced the focus on the guitar in my images if there was a person in them. This narrowed the search but there was still a large number of images to look through. Below are four images that I feel strongly contributed to my final ideas:
This image uses lighting techniques to nicely show the guitars texture. The composition also enforces the idea that the whole object doesn’t need to be seen for an image to work.
The part of this image that really caught my eye was the composition and the choice of subject. As with the image above, focusing on just the head of the guitar is enough for the viewer to know what the image is all about.
The lighting with this image was it’s main attraction from my point of view. The entire guitar has been included in the composition and it has been placed almost square with the cameras view point. However, lighting has then been used to portray the form of the object. With this image, I also like the vignette that has been added to focus attention onto the guitar.
With this image, powerful lighting is being used to emphasize detail of the guitar. The way the lighting is being applied gave me ideas for small areas of strong light could be used to create a powerful effect.
Intent: Using strong edge lighting, produce a low-key image that emphasises the outer edge of the guitar without to much light illuminating the detail of the guitar.
Lighting Techniques: A snoot was used to produce a narrow beam of light from an off camera flash gun producing an edge lighting effect.
Thoughts/Review: I have been very pleased with this image, however, I have a small concern that not enough of the guitars edge is lit for it to be obvious that the object is a guitar. In combination with this concern, is the detail seen in the remainder of the guitar to great and causing a distraction from the emphasis on it’s shape. Due to the low key nature of the image, I could easily have completely removed this detail by placing some black material over it.
Although these concerns are still present, I decided that the presentation of the image strikes a good balance between emphasising the shape but leaving in a small amount of detail to capture the viewers interest.
Intent: Capture a silhouette of the guitars body using an interesting background light, without revealing detail in the face of the guitar.
Lighting Techniques: Simple technique of placing a gel covered flash behind the guitar and setting the camera to the flash sync speed.
Thoughts/Review: This was a very simple but effective image to create with full focus being give to the images shape as no other detail can be seen. The light fall off from the flash has created a pleasing natural vignette.
Intent: Placing the guitars head in a position that two edges can be seen by the camera, light it such that an appropriate shadow is cast against the wall.
Lighting Techniques: Diffusing and positioning light to be able to control the strength of a shadow.
Thoughts/Review: Use of the shadow to portray the objects form was the intention of this image but controlling the shadows strength and direction was its key. Placing a diffuser between the light and the object softens the shadow and then adjusting the distance of the light to the subject controls it’s strength. Had the shadow been to hard or to dark, it would have been distracting from the guitar.
Also, I was conscious of the shadows position. Placing the light at to much of an accute angle to the guitar was casting long shadows that took the viewers eye away from the guitar itself and spoiled the image.
Intent: Reveal the form of the guitar by producing a strong shadow and lighting that catches the edges of the guitar.
Lighting Techniques: Use an unfiltered/non-diffused light to produce a strong shadow, coupled with a reflector to reveal detail (fill shadow).
Thoughts/Review: With this image, I wanted to take the opposite approach of the image above. Using no lighting modifiers between the light source and the object, I intentionally wanted to produce a long, diagonal, shadow to create a strong and contrasting diagonal.
To ensure that the subject still had strength in the image, I needed to reveal detail and interest in the guitar so I used a silver reflector to reflect the light back at the face of the guitar.
Two final adjustments that were made were to take the diagonal slightly away from the corner, as this appeared to contrived and in post processing, a vignette was added to focus attention.
Intent: Show the reflectiveness of the guitars surface whilst also revealing it’s texture.
Lighting Techniques: A diffused light coupled with a gobo.
Thoughts/Review: This image was taken by placing a diffuser between the light source and the object and then positioning a gobo between the diffuser and the object in order to block the light and eliminate the reflection. By doing this, we can see that the surface of the guitar is reflective but also see that there is still some texture in the surface.
Intent: Reveal the texture of both the guitars body and the pieces of chrome.
Lighting Techniques: Diffused lighting and a black reflector.
Thoughts/Review: Although the outcome of this image is similar to the image above, the intention was different. In this image, the chrome parts of the guitar are give more of a prominent position meaning that reflections need to be managed.
A single flash gun was used, fired through a large diffuser and placed outside the “family of angles” to help minimise the reflections on the surface of the guitar. On the top side of the chrome, the plain white is the reflection of the diffuser, however, on the bottom side, I had to introduce some dark material behind the guitar to reduce light bouncing back at this point and creating an unwanted reflection.
When I was taking this image, I noticed that I was getting a reflection line along the surface of the guitar. I believe this was being caused by the diffuser not being able to diffuse the light enough. By twisting the diffuser though, I was able to control the angle of this line.
Intent: Using a single colour, light the guitar as if it was ready to be used at a gig.
Lighting Techniques: Using colour gels and a snoot.
Thoughts/Review: The technique used for this image was simple and similar to the silhouetted image used to represent the shape of the guitar. By using a snoot, I was able to direct the coloured light at a low angle so that the frets of the guitar weren’t picking up the light. I felt this added a bit of interest to the image.
Intent: Use white balance adjustments to give the impression of a two light setup like it was standing in a music hall or venue.
Lighting Techniques: Adjust White Balance and fire an off camera flash through a snoot with a flash gel.
Thoughts/Review: Creating this image was quite interesting and was a good demonstration of the creative use of white balance. The white balance on the camera was set as low as it could go – initially I tried the Tungston setting but found that by setting the kelvin value, I could further reduce the colour temperature from 2850 to 2600. Having set the camera in this way, everything was captured with a strong blue tint. Next, I fired a flash gun covered in a red gel towards one side of the guitar.
Using a red gel with the cool white balance setting was a bit of an experiment to see what the effect would be. The reason that I thought the result would be unpredictable was that a warm colour light was being fired which would counteract the affect of the white balance so I wondered how much the light would appear to come back to neutral.
I quite like the outcome. the red light hasn’t managed to overpower the white balance and there are a couple of small highlights the look very red. I feel this has given the impression that the guitar is situated in the corner of a blue lit room with a red spot light shining towards it.
All of the images that I’ve created for this exercise have involved using artificial light, sometimes instead of natural light and in other examples as an addition to natural light. The reason this has been the case is that before attempting the exercises leading up to this module, I’d previously done very little with flash lights and certainly had never tried using off camera flash. Being able to use, and control, a powerful light source has given me the ability to be far more creative with these types of still life images.
The images that i’ve select have also built on the topics studied in previous parts of this course. Choosing to use a square aspect ratio has needed additional thought to be given to the composition and balance of the images as it’s not a format that is especially common or one that I have used very often. A number of the images have intentional examples of lines, curves and diagonals to aid these compositions.
Further to the format and composition, I’ve considered the colours that have been used in the images. 5 of the 8 images have been presented in Black and White with the main purpose being so that colour doesn’t distract from the intent of the image. The only image in colour that wasn’t being used to show colour was the silhouetted shape image which is still presented as a mono tone image using green. Because of the images simplicity, I felt it would be lacking if presented in black and white so I chose green because of its appropriateness as a back ground colour. Green represents both positive and negative emotion; it can been seen as being soothing and relaxing whilst also being associated with illness and jealousy. These emotional effects can also be invoked by different types of music which strongly relates to the subject matter of the image.
For the two images being used to represent colour, selecting a predominantly black subject my have been restricting but it did give a chance to be creative with colour lighting. Both images involve the colour blue which was chosen more for the association with the type of music than a particular emotional response.
Looking at other album covers was an interesting way of getting inspiration for my own images. Using the internet is an easy way to quickly look at a large selection of images. The 4 images that I chose to include into the assignment were chosen because I thought the ideas and techniques of these images were obvious in my own work. In addition to these images, positive influences were also taken from three books – “Understanding Flash Photography” (Peterson, B), “Light, Science & Magic” (Hunter, F. et al) and “the photograph as contemporary art” (Cotton, C).
“Understanding Flash Photography” and “Light, Science & Magic” both presented technical detail about using and controlling both flash and lighting. These helped me with gaining knowledge of both what I needed to manage and control and why. “the photography as contemporary art” had a more subtle impact and was probably the reason I wanted to present all the images as album covers. Reading this book has been a struggle and I’ve found it difficult to engage with because I feel I still don’t have an appreciation for what contemporary artists are trying to achieve. However, reading this work to broaden my knowledge has ultimately had a positive impact on the images I’ve produced.

Snorkeling and/or Scuba Diving at Buck Island, St. Croix US Virgin Islands
by Arlene A
I love this location for diving because it has one of the only three Underwater National Monuments in the United States. It's natural beauty will captivate you. Buck Island is only accessible by boat, but is a MUST SEE whenever you visit St.Croix US Virgin Islands.
Thanks for giving your vote to Buck Island, St. Croix. We went diving in St. Croix but never made it to Buck Island .
(You can read our St. Croix dive trip report here. However, another reader wrote in and had a different review of diving in St. Croix, Virgin Islands. You can read his report here.)
I looked up Buck Island and it certainly looks beautiful. I read that Turtle Beach was voted one of the world's most beautiful beaches by National Geographic. Not too shabby.
The underwater trail off of Buck Island looks like it would be fun. I have a question though - did you scuba dive there or did you snorkel? I think both would be fun but it seems like most people just snorkel at Buck Island.
For those interested in trying this location for snorkeling (possibly diving?) it is located just off of Christiansted, St. Croix in the United States Virgin Islands. Tour operators run both half day and full day excurions to the island.
This attraction is also rated #3 out of 70 attractions by TripAdvisor. You can read other readers reviews here.
However, reading through the reviews, they seem a bit mixed - especially if you are an experienced snorkeler. The experience seems to get a high mark and the beauty of the place comes through. It is the reviews of the actual snorkeling itself that is a bit mixed.
I would like to know if any of our readers have experience with Buck Island in St. Croix. If you have been there, what did you like about and what didn't you? What was your experience like underwater here? It would be interesting to get other people's impressions here. You can leave your comments below.
Thanks again for your vote - we always like to get input on people's favorite destinations.

Minnesota's Stay at Home order is expected to remain in place for a further two weeks, with Gov. Tim Walz set announce its extension – with changes – until May 18.
The current order is due to come to an end on Monday, but will be extended as there aren't yet signs that Minnesota's COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations are slowing.
After a dip in deaths and ICU cases in recent days, Thursday saw a further 24 deaths confirmed in Minnesota – the second highest single-day total yet – as well as jumps in the number of hospitalized (201 to 235) and critical patients (119 to 130).
As well as the Stay at Home order, the ban on dine-in service at bars and restaurants, as well as entertainment and public accommodation venues, is also being extended.
But there are reports that Gov. Walz will make some additional changes that will allow more businesses to reopen.
Per Blois Olson, the political analyst for WCCO-AM, these will include allowing more small retailers to operate curbside pick-up and delivery services.
Currently, the majority of retailers have been required to close unless they sell essential goods including groceries, alcohol, or building materials.
But during the course of the existing Stay at Home order, Gov. Walz has already loosened restrictions to allow for golf courses, marinas, garden centers, and non-customer-facing commercial and industrial businesses to reopen.
One other thing to look out for is whether there will be any lifting of restrictions on elective medical procedures, which have been curtailed since mid-March as the state ramped up its capacity to handle COVID-19 cases.
Minnesota now has significant capacity of ICU beds and ventilators, though some of its personal protective supplies, notably gowns, require replenishing.


I was looking for an inexpensive double din GPS unit for my truck. Most GPS units start in the $500 and above range. The cheaper ones are for mostly no-name brands that were a little sketchy. I saw this Eclipse unit and was a little skeptical also. Upon checking reviews, I found out it is made by Fujitsu (bought my first laptop from them). Installation was pretty straight forward. If you have ever installed a stereo before, it is pretty simple. 8 wires for speakers (2 front, 2 back), ground wire, always on +12 and switched +12. That's about it - there are a few more if you want to hook up illumination control, steering wheel remote, etc, but I did not use those. The only other things you need to plug in are the antenna cable and the GPS antenna. So far this stereo/GPS works great. It even has bluetooth, so my phone is hooked up and I can make/receive calls hands free. GPS is based on the TomTom brand and the GPS unit can be detached from the stereo to use as a stand alone GPS or so it will not be stolen. The stereo will still work without the GPS in place - it even has a small readout that tells you the station you are on! The only extra thing you need to buy is the Eclipse Ipod cable - plugging the ipod into the USB adapter will not work. Plus it allows you to play videos from your ipod on the stereo screen. Great unit for the price - it has features that units that cost 4 times as much have.

The lawsuit alleges that De Niro and Canal Productions subjected their longtime employee, Graham Chase Robinson, to a hostile work environment.
Sanford Heisler Sharp filed a $50 million nationwide class action complaint alleging that Connecticut-based Starion Energy perpetrates an illegal bait-and-switch scheme that has deceived and defrauded thousands of energy consumers out of millions of dollars. The suit is filed the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The lawsuit seeks unpaid overtime wages for Claim Specialists who worked on long term disability insurance claims (“LTD Claim Specialists”) for MetLife and two of its subsidiaries, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and MetLife Insurance Company USA.
The complaint asserts that Ogletree uses a number of tactics to shortchange female shareholders in pay and promotions. The firm manipulates allocation of origination credits by unfairly attributing such credits to male shareholders, even when women at the firm are the ones who bring in the client.
Early in 2015, Freundel plead guilty in a criminal proceeding before the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, to numerous counts of illicitly filming women as they used the “mikvah”- a Jewish ritual bath frequently used by married Orthodox women as well as by women undergoing conversion to Judaism.
The class action suit is brought by Maureen Koetz, a resident of the neighborhood’s Gateway Plaza, a development with more than 1,700 rental units in the heart of lower Manhattan. Ms. Koetz, a former vice-president of the Gateway Tenants’ Association, describes how temperatures inside the complex regularly dropped to below 55 degrees this winter as well as past winters.
Sanford Heisler Sharp filed a class action complaint in the U.S. District Court in New Jersey against Energy Plus Holdings LLC and Energy Plus Natural Gas LP (Energy Plus) for perpetrating an illegal bait-and-switch scheme that has deceived and defrauded thousands of New Jersey consumers of millions of dollars.
The Complaint, brought under the federal Title IX law as well as the New York City Human Rights Law, alleges that Columbia University and Professor Harris have consistently and systematically violated the rights of the now 29-year-old Plaintiff Jane Doe, with Professor Harris, now age 79, subjecting her to sexual harassment and other sexual exploitation and Columbia University ignoring her complaints.
According to Plaintiff Kerrie Campbell, a nationally recognized trial lawyer and partner in Chadbourne’s Washington, DC office, female partners at the firm are excluded from positions of decision-making authority and receive less pay and bonuses even when they out-perform their male counterparts. There is only a one-tier partnership, with every partner characterized as an equity partner.
Sanford Heisler Sharp represented a class of approximately 6,000 female sales employees in pay and promotion and gender discrimination claims against the pharmaceutical corporation, Sanofi Aventis U.S. The settlement produced more than $15 million in monetary benefits plus the $13.4 million reverberating effect of a $2 million pay equity adjustment over a five-year period.
In 2012, Sanford Heisler Sharp reached a $99 million settlement with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (”Novartis”) to resolve a nationwide class and collective action brought on behalf of thousands of Novartis sales representatives. The settlement ranks among the largest wage and hour settlements.
Sanford Heisler Sharp represented thousands of AT&T employees in three class and collective action cases involving the telephone giant’s failure to pay overtime to its “First-Level Managers.” The cases settled for a combined $28 million, among the largest recent wage and hour settlements.
In 2015, Sanford Heisler Sharp filed a $40 million lawsuit against Zara USA, Inc., the flagship brand for the largest fashion retailer in the world, Inditex Group. The lawsuit alleges that Zara discriminated against and then fired its in-house counsel, Ian Jack Miller, because he is Jewish, American, and gay. The case seeks damages for creating a hostile work environment, pay discrimination, and unlawful and retaliatory termination based on Mr. Miller’s nationality, religion, and sexual orientation.
According to his complaint, during his tenure at Giorgio Armani Corporation, the company’s Chief Financial Officer informed General Counsel Fabio Silva he did not trust Mexicans, and thereafter subjected Mr. Silva to increased scrutiny and discriminatory treatment. When General Counsel Silva reported this treatment to Chief Operations Officer, Giorgio Fornari, and Senior Vice President of Human Resources, Lucinda Rosso, General Counsel Silva was berated for complaining. General Counsel Silva was then denied a raise for reporting the discrimination.
Sanford Heisler Sharp is looking to speak with CBS shareholders and employees as part of an investigation into the Company’s corporate culture and governance.


It may only be July, but it’s never too early to talk college football. Get your daily fix with our countdown of the preseason Top 25, the consensus picks of the American-Statesman sports staff:
No. 23 KANSAS STATE
THE WILDCATS WILL CONTEND IF … they develop quickly on defense. The entire front seven has to be replaced.
Coach: Bill Snyder (22nd year, 170-85-1)
2012 record: 11-2 overall, 8-1 Big 12
2012 bowl: Lost 35-17 to Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl
Returning starters: 7 offense, 3 defense
The winner is … we’ll see: Daniel Sams and Jake Waters battled this spring to see who’d replace All-American quarterback Collin Klein. Nobody emerged as the winner. Sams, a sophomore, attempted only eight passes last year, completing six, but he also had 32 carries, averaging 7.3 yards per run. Waters, a junior, was last year’s national college player of the year at Iowa Western Community College, setting an NJCAA record with his 73.3-percent completion percentage. He threw for 3,501 yards and 35 touchdowns, with only three interceptions. Waters is the more accurate of the two, but Sams has improved in that area and keeps plays alive with his legs.
Re-stocking the defense: Defensive ends Meshak Williams and Adam Davis, who combined for 18 sacks last season, are among eight starters lost on defense. But Kansas State has several candidates to replace them. The most experienced is junior Ryan Mueller, who played in all 13 games, making 14 tackles, including two sacks. A couple of first-year freshmen — Jordan Willis and Tanner Wood — could be in the mix as well. Wood was an honorable mention Parade All-American last year in high school.
Back at ‘backer: Tre Walker played in eight games before a knee injury against Texas Tech ended his season. Now the senior is back as one of only three returning starters on the defense. Walker missed the spring game, but is expected to be in the lineup. At least one Big 12 pundit predicted that at full strength, he could become an all-conference candidate.
Men of Steele: Phil Steele, who produces a college football preview magazine, lists four Kansas State players on his preseason All-American team. Steele cites B.J. Finney at center and Tyler Lockett as a kick returner as first-team members. Ty Zimmerman is a second-team pick at safety. Tramaine Thompson is listed as second-team as a punt returner. Finney is a former walk-on. Zimmerman received some second-and third-team All-American honors last season. He intercepted five passes in 10 games.
Did you know?:
• Senior tailback Robert Rose, who has had only 13 carries in his career, gained 141 yards on 17 carries in the spring game. Rose is 5-4 and 176 pounds.
• Snyder was 1-10 his first season at K-State, 1989. But he is 169-75-1 during the rest of his career — 20-seasons over two stints. He was not the coach from 2006 through 2008.
• Kansas State has lost five straight bowl games. The Wildcats’ last bowl victory was in the 2002 Holiday Bowl against Arizona State.
THE PAST FIVE YEARS
2012: 11-2, L Fiesta Bowl
2011: 10-3, L Cotton Bowl
2010: 8-6, L Pinstripe Bowl
Total: 40-24, 0-3 in bowls
Passing: Daniel Sams, 6-8-55 yards, 0/0
Rushing: John Hubert 189-947-15 TDs
Receiving: Tyler Lockett 44-687-4 TDs
Tackles: DB Randall Evans, 76
Sacks: DB Randall Evans, 1

New legislation aims to push the US Department of State to do more reporting on crypto — including on its own anti-ransomware whistleblower program.
On March 31, Congressmen Gregory Meeks (D-NY) and Michael McCaul (R-TX) introduced the Russia Cryptocurrency Transparency Act. The bill calls for the State Department to produce reports on both the effectiveness of current sanctions on Russians using cryptocurrencies, as well as the role of blockchain technology in addressing Ukraine's humanitarian needs.
More uniquely, the bill also takes aim at the State Department's Rewards for Justice program. Launched last July, the program is a tip line for information about attacks on critical infrastructure. It includes anonymous reporting via a Dark Web page and the option to receive payouts in crypto. The RFJ was largely a response to the wave of ransomware attacks early last year.
The Russia Cryptocurrency Transparency Act would require the State Department to report to Congress on every instance in which it was offering a payout in cryptocurrency, justifying"any determination of the Secretary to make rewards under such program in a form that includes cryptocurrency." The rationale behind this approach is concern that those payouts could also end up in the hands of bad actors, though this is typically how whistleblower programs work in practice.
Neither Meeks' office nor the RFJ responded immediately to a request for information on the scale of the program's crypto payouts to the present day.
Additionally, the bill calls for the appointment of a new director of digital currency security in the Office of Economic Sanctions Policy and Implementation within the State Department.
The new legislation follows a great deal of political jockeying over the threat of Russian sanctions evasion, including legislation from Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA) and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

Day 2 in the great running back race began with de facto starter Vernand Morency standing on the sideline nursing a bruised knee.
The injury didn't set general manager Ted Thompson scurrying to his office to see if there was some way he could get Ahman Green back, but it did raise a red flag about the committee he has assembled to handle the halfback job.
Morency came into this season needing to prove that he could carry a full load without wearing down, and to be injured in the first practice was not a good sign. One of the best-conditioned athletes on the team, the 5-10, 212-pound Morency missed two games last year with a lower back injury just as he was picking up steam and didn't regain his form until the final four games of the season when he gained 167 yards on 27 carries (6.1 average).
Though not necessarily injury-prone, Morency battled two injuries in college as well, including an ankle that cost him five games as a freshman and a knee that cost him a game in 2004.
He worked so hard in the off-season, beginning his training right after the '06 season started, that he had to back off at one point because he didn't want to get burned out.
"I think he's going to be fine," Thompson said. "That's the nature of training camps. You go along and somebody goes down and then he gets better and then somebody else goes down."
With Morency out of the backfield Sunday after banging his knee in the first practice Saturday, the rest of the committee was soaking up the practice repetitions. Rookie Brandon Jackson, practice squad pickup P.J. Pope and veteran Noah Herron were the beneficiaries, splitting the much-sought after action.
"This is what happens," fullback Brandon Miree said of the National Football League. "Guys go down and you have to step up. Everyone is going to get an opportunity and when you do you have to make the most of it."
Morency's injury, even if it turns out not to be serious, highlights the problem the Packers have replacing Green, who took his six 1,000-yard seasons with him to Houston this past off-season. They don't even know whether Morency can do it, let alone the three or four guys who are behind him.
Jackson, the Packers' second-round pick from Nebraska, has the eyes of the organization on him the most. The minute camp started he was on the fast track toward preparation for the regular season, and is expected to compete for the No. 1 job.
The fact he opened up camp with two drops in the passing game and left a lot to be desired in his pass blocking wasn't exactly a good sign for Thompson or coach Mike McCarthy. Both nerves and unfamiliarity with the offense were legitimate excuses for the rookie, but also shed some light on what the Packers are facing this summer.
"The first practice I was thinking a lot," Jackson said. "Now, today I have that one practice under me. It's coming a little naturally. I feel like every practice I feel a lot more comfortable in this system."
Besides being new to the offense, the 5-10, 212-pound Jackson is fairly new to being a No. 1 back. He didn't become the starter at Nebraska until last season and had just 188 carries. Despite having just 291 collegiate carries he declared early for the draft.
It may be a couple of weeks before the Packers know what kind of contribution they're going to get from him.
With seventh-round draft choice DeShawn Wynn sidelined because of a stomach virus, Pope is getting his shot to show what he's made of. Though just 5-9, Pope is a muscular 215 pounds and appears to be more durable than Morency or Jackson.
He was picked up off Chicago's practice squad last year after putting on a good show in training camp and has patiently waited for his turn. Pope faces the challenge of having played in a spread offense in college, a power gap scheme in Chicago and now a zone blocking scheme.
He mostly ran the other team's offense in practice last year, so he's just now learning what it's like to run this offense at full speed.
"Going through minicamp and OTAs (organized team activities) with the zone blocking scheme you get looks, but it's not the same," Pope said. "Now that we have pads on I really have a feel for how everything is moving and cutbacks and things like that. I'm still trying to get a good feel for that."
Pope may be the least heralded of the contenders, but his ability to run between the tackles could earn him a roster spot as a short-yardage back. That is, if he doesn't win the halfback job outright, which at this point is a possibility given all the unknowns in the backfield.
The Packers know what Herron can do, but they're eager to see Wynn in pads because he not only has size (5-10, 232 pounds), he has excellent feet. But with a reputation for being lazy and undisciplined he has a lot to prove during this camp.
As practice marches on, the running back picture is supposed to become clearer. But at this particular time, it couldn't be more clouded.

if you have diabetic eye disease then preserve your vision by scheduling your annual eye exam
People with diabetes are 25 times more likely to become blind than people without diabetes due to the disease diabetic retinopathy. With more than 16 million people in the United States with diabetes, diabetic retinopathy is a huge risk to anyone with diabetes. It is estimated that 24,000 people lose their sight each year due to the disease.
Having diabetes, however, does not automatically mean you will lose your sight. You can detect and treat diabetic retinopathy by scheduling your annual eye exam.
What is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is a condition in which the blood vessels within the retina are damaged from the high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes. The damaged vessels can cause retinal detachment, hemorrhaging, or macular edema, which can damage your vision permanently.
More than one-third of those diagnosed with diabetes do not receive the eye care that is recommended and are at risk for vision loss. Many do not realize they have diabetic retinopathy until it is too late as symptoms in the early stages are almost unnoticeable. If you are diagnosed with diabetes, schedule a complete, dilated eye examination once a year to prevent further vision complications.
Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy include:
Blurred vision in one eye or both eyes
Floaters in one eye or both eyes
Blurred vision or floaters that last more than a few days
Diagnosing Diabetic Retinopathy
Your ophthalmologist can usually detect diabetic retinopathy before even you are aware of vision problems. Prevention is the best treatment for diabetic retinopathy, and vision loss can be prevented with strict control of your blood sugar.
Schedule an exam when you are first diagnosed with diabetes, you should have your eyes checked:
Within five years of the diagnosis if you are 29 years old or younger;
Within a few months of the diagnosis if you are 30 years old and older.
You should also schedule an exam annually after diagnosis.

There is no way to avoid ageing, not yet anyway. As we age, the progressive malfunction of our cells, organs, etc., leads to having a higher risk factor for diseases. Those diseases include cancer, neuro-degenerative problems, cardiovascular diseases, rheumatism, and more. The speed at which we age closely correlates with our genes alongside environmental and lifestyle factors. The average genetic component in determining life expectancy is around 25% and has been maintained as such throughout evolution. The ApoE gene is the first gene to be linked with longevity. Foxo and Clotho are also genes that influence our longevity by taking care of our bodies.
If you want to learn more, keep on reading the article from Prof. Jacques Proust.
Ageing is an inevitable, progressive biological process that manifests itself through malfunction and eventual destruction of tissues and organs. The progressive malfunctioning of cells, organs, systems and the whole organism, is a high risk factor for age-related pathologies such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neuro-degenerative problems, rheumatism and inflammation. The appearance of these diseases, physical deterioration and the dwindling of reserve capacities, reduces our life expectancy.
The speed and intensity of the ageing process are closely correlated with genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors. Genetic antecedents, life history and risk factors make the difference in how some people resist better and longer the physiological degeneration that is typical of ageing. In a population with average life expectancy, the genetic component in determining life expectancy is 25%. This percentage increases with age to 33% for centenarian women and 48% for centenarian men. After more than 20 years of scientific research, it has been found that longevity is determined by genes and metabolic pathways that have been highly maintained throughout evolution. The same genes encoding the same metabolic pathways determine longevity in species as diverse as yeasts, worms, flies and mice.
Let’s take a closer look at some of these genes:
ApoE: the gene associated with unusual longevity
The ApoE gene (apolipoprotein E gene) is the very first gene known to link to high longevity, at least as far as its alleles are concerned. Alleles are variants of the gene, here the forms E2 and E3. E2 and E3 are found more frequently in the 100-year-olds, while the variant E4 is found more in connection with diseases typical of old age, such as cardiovascular disorders and Alzheimer’s disease, and is therefore associated with a higher mortality. Depending on the genotype present (E2, E3 or E4), the products of the ApoE gene in Positive or negative fundamental biological mechanisms at the root of the ageing process:
– Stabilisation and dissolution of lipoproteins (proteins that transport fats in the blood), partly responsible for regulating cholesterol levels
– Oxidative stress and production of free radicals (highly reactive oxidised molecules produced by our metabolism , partly responsible for molecular deterioration in old age).
– Activity and renewal of the mitochondria (power plants in the cells whose energy production decreases with time) – Rejection of damaged and unusable mitochondria (mitophagy)
– Rejection of damaged molecules (autophagy), the accumulation of which massively disrupts the function of the cell
– The immune function, the efficiency of which decreases with age
– Inflammations that overshoot the target and become harmful with age, phenomenon called “inflamm-aging”.
Foxo: the gene family of longevity
Recent research shows the important role of Foxo (Forkhead box O) genes in ageing and longevity, through the processes encoded in them. The invertebrate genome contains only one Foxo gene, while mammals have 4. The only foxo gene found in the hydra (freshwater polyp) is responsible for its (near) immortality: it ensures that its stem cells are constantly renewed. In the more complex organisms, the foxo genes have multiplied and fulfil various functions.
In mammals, this gene family directly or indirectly controls biochemical mechanisms that are necessary for the optimal functioning of the organism. The Foxo genes are particularly involved in:
– Repairing molecular damage and especially DNA
– Elimination and recycling of damaged molecules (autophagy)
– Protection from oxidative stress caused by free radicals
– Rejection of non-functional cells (apoptosis)
– Maintenance of stem cells
– Regulation of the immune system and inflammatory mechanisms
– Inhibition of cancer cell division.
Family Foxo’s maintenance and repair work defies the basic mechanisms underlying ageing.
Processes and strategic position on the intracellular biochemical metabolic pathways, make Foxo gene 3 the major player in the molecular mechanisms involved in high longevity. In humans, a link is found between certain Foxo gene 3 variants and longevity. 11 independent studies in populations of different genetic origins, in different countries, have confirmed this link. All that remains is to find out exactly which functions of this gene variant support resistance to ageing processes.
Clotho: the anti-ageing gene
Klotho is the name of one of the three Moirs of Greek mythology who determined everyone’s lifespan. Klotho stretched the thread of life, Lachesis measured it and Atropos cut it.
The gene Klotho, when spontaneously mutated, “loss of function”, leads to accelerated ageing in a certain type of mice. Mice with this mutation had growth retardation and physio-pathological changes normally attributed to the ageing process, such as vascular calcification, osteoporosis and various organic damages. Instead of the usual 2 years of life, these mice had a shorter life expectancy of 2 or 3 months.
Conversely, a Klotho gene enhanced by genetic engineering increases the life expectancy of the mouse. Like the Foxo genes, the Klotho gene has been highly conserved throughout evolution. The product of the Klotho gene (the Klotho protein) either binds to the cell membrane or exists in soluble form: the latter functions like a hormone and exerts its effect on various organs and systems from a distance. The concentration of Klotho protein in blood plasma decreases with advancing age. Deficient production of Klotho is associated with many diseases typical of old age, cancer, chronic kidney failure, diabetes, hypertension, skin atrophy.
How exactly Klotho acts against ageing is still being researched in many studies. However, it is known what Klotho is involved in:
– Control of inflammatory processes
– Inhibition of the production of free radicals (reactive oxidation products)
– Amelioration of the phenomenon of cellular ageing (definitive dormancy of cells and arrest of cell division)
– Preservation of the supply of stem cells that take care of cell division
– Interruption of the signalling pathways of the activators of ageing growth factors
As for Foxo, one establishes a link between the human ageing process and certain functional variants of the Klotho gene.
TOR, the genetic pathway to the ageing process
One of the main roles of TOR (Target of Rapamycin) is to adapt growth and cell metabolism to environmental conditions, especially nutrients and growth factors. When TOR is derailed, it is involved in cancer formation, diabetes, but also in the ageing process.
Among other biological effects, TOR activation:
– increases protein synthesis
– inhibits the autophagy process and the activity of the proteasome involved in the elimination and recycling of damaged molecules or molecules no longer needed by the cell
– decreases the renewal of certain stem cells
– affects the transcription of genes involved in protection against oxidative stress
Inhibition of TOR by rapamycin significantly increases lifespan in yeasts, worms, flies and, dose-dependently, in mice. Rapamycin is a molecule with immunosuppressive and anticancer properties that was discovered in the soil of Easter Island in the 1970s. The Easter Islands are also called Rapa Nui, hence the name.
The anti-ageing effect of TOR inhibition does not seem to depend on lower cancer rates or protein synthesis, but rather on maintaining the quality of intracellular proteins by activating autophagy mechanisms. As for stem cell maintenance, it is more attributable to protection from oxidising molecules than to any other anti-ageing activity.
Other genes regulating different players in the biochemical pathways, each with pro- and anti-ageing effects, (among them the sirtuins, AMP kinase, insulin-like growth factors) have been discovered in recent years.
Apart from the intellectual fascination with the advances made in recent years in understanding the fundamental mechanisms of ageing, there is also a greater interest in the possibility, through pharmacological or nutritional intervention, of modifying the activity of these genes and the biochemical pathways they encode. In the near future, these interventions could strengthen our resistance to ageing and contribute to the preservation of our health capital in old age.

Spied: Images of the India-bound 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport
Clear snapshots of the 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport have been leaked ahead of its August 1 debut in Thailand. As seen in the images, the Pajero Sport gets the new Dynamic Shield styling that Mitsubishi debuted on the Outlander recently. The front gets an X-shaped front grille, L-shaped LED DRLs and a completely reworked bumper. The side profile is fairly similar to the current Pajero Sport, but the rear end gets oddly shaped triangular tail lamps with a kink just below the rear windshield.
The next-gen Pajero Sport is said to be offered with an array of both diesel and petrol engines, but expect only its primary 2.4-litre 4-cylinder MIVEC turbo-diesel engine to make its way to India. This engine is said to produce 178PS and 430Nm of torque and will be coupled with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed automatic.
Features such as Super Select 4WD, a touchscreen infotainment system and keyless entry will probably be carried over with additional features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, depending on the trim.

Deemed as a superstar extremely early in his career, Varun Dhawan has got it right at the box-office more than most of his counterparts in B-town currently. The actor has a success rate that can make the most skilled stars run for their money and his next film, Sui Dhaaga: Made in India is already creating a huge buzz among the audience. From being a spoilt brat at home to winning millions of hearts as an actor, Varun’s journey has been commendable and on his father’s birthday the actor decided to do something super special.
Varun plays the character of a tailor in Sui Dhaaga and he went through rigorous training to ace his role. What came out of it is that Varun honed the skill of tailoring and so decided to stitch a shirt for his dad. David Dhawan’s birthday was on 16thAugust and the actor gifted his dad a handmade shirt. Today, the actor took to Instagram to share a video of the same.
He captioned it, “Papa dekho tumhara beta #SuiDhaaga mein maahir ho gaya! à¤¯à¥ÂÂ à¤¶ à¤¸à¥ÂÂ à¤¶à¤°à¥ÂÂà¤ÂÂ .. à¤ªà¤¾à¤ªà¤¾à¤ÂÂà¥ÂÂ à¤¬ à¤¡à¥ÂÂà¤¡à¥ÂÂ à¤ÂÂà¤¾ à¤ÂÂà¤ªà¤¹à¤¾à¤° ..à¤¬à¤¾à¤ÂÂà¤¼à¥ÂÂ à¤¬à¤ªà¥ÂÂà¤ªà¤¾ à¤ÂÂà¤° à¤ªà¤ªà¥ÂÂà¤ªà¤¾ à¤ÂÂà¥ÂÂ à¤µà¤ÂÂà¤¹ à¤¸à¥ÂÂ .. à¤¸à¤¬à¤¬à¤¢à¤¼à¤¿à¤¯à¤¾ à¤¹à¥ÂÂ”.

It seems odd that in a city the size of Austin, most of the tracks where people can walk, run laps, sprint, and/or perform crunches and push-ups are in high school gyms, which are usually locked behind high gates with barbed wire at the top. Thus, finding an exercise location of this nature is quite a discovery and should be lauded. One such place is the Lewis-Chen Family Field, the soccer stadium atop the hill in front of the St. Edward's University Main Building. There are benches and rings where you can do pull-ups and tri-dips, but the most notable aspect of the field is the breathtaking view of the downtown Austin skyline. Combine that with the endorphins and serotonin released with exercise, and that equals the perfect stress-reliever. -Freddie Obregon
