The City of Jacksonville’s Water System (System) recently violated a drinking water standard. There is no reason for concern for the water quality . Although there is no need for alarm, our customers have a right to know what happened and what is being done to correct this situation.
Pursuant to 40 CFR §§ 141.140(a)(1)(ii)(A) and 141.40 (a)(5)(ii)(A), the System is required to collect two samples of the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation (UCMR) List 1 contaminants in one twelve-month period during the years of 2001-2003. The System failed to collect two samples six months apart of the UCMR List 1 contaminants during the required time frame. The System collected only one sample in June 2002, which showed no evidence of any List 1 Contaminants and was not aware of the requirement for a 2nd test within 6 months. Therefore, the System is in violation of 40 CFR §§ 141.140 (a)(1)(ii)(A) and 141.40 (a)(5)(ii)(A). There is no reason for concern for the water quality . The System will be performing the two required samples during January 2005 and June 2005.

Asperger syndrome (sometimes called Asperger's syndrome, AS, or the more common shorthand Asperger's), is characterized as one of the five pervasive developmental disorders, and is commonly referred to as a form of high-functioning autism.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) she said only tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this...
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE
(Coherently) (i.e. . It is sunny out today)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
{NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue... if the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke}
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
