( CNN) - - The space shuttle Atlantis will be in space for one more day than originally planned, NASA announced Monday. The shuttle, which was scheduled to land July 20, will now make what NASA called a night landing at Kennedy Space Center at 5: 56 a. m. July 21. Atlantis lifted off Friday on NASA' s final space shuttle mission.

On board is a four- person team: mission commander Christopher Ferguson, pilot Doug Hurley and mission specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim. The crew of veteran astronauts docked Sunday at the International Space Station to deliver a load of supplies.

Los Angeles, California ( CNN) - - Lindsay Lohan' s lawyer is ready for her close- up. Shawn Chapman Holley plunges her hands into the pockets of a frisky black dress on a late summer afternoon, channeling Tyra Banks as she poses for a magazine photographer at her comfortable Mediterranean- style home. & quot; As much as I used to laugh at Tyra' s tips on ' America' s Next Top Model, ' they actually work, & quot; Holley quips, leaning back in a pair of black, red- soled Christian Louboutin pumps. Click. & quot; That whole smile- with- your- eyes thing? & quot; Click. & quot; I get it. & quot; Holley is no ing& eacute; nue. She' s a criminal defense attorney who toiled for five years in the gritty trenches of the public defender' s office and backed up the late Johnnie Cochran during O. Simpson' s murder trial.

Her hot client these days is Lindsay Lohan, who spent the summer in court, jail and rehab for a DUI- related probation violation. Lohan was sent back to jail Friday morning, but Holley appealed and Lohan was out by midnight. A hearing will be held October 22 to determine whether Lohan violated probation a second time by failing a drug test. & quot; Shawn' s the celebrity go- to lawyer right now, & quot; attorney Carl Douglas said of Holley, with whom he worked on the Simpson case. As bloggers, entertainment news shows and tabloid media outlets transform the courtrooms of Los Angeles into a virtual reality show, Holley - - along with Blair Berk, who represents Mel Gibson - - are the moment' s undisputed legal & quot; It Girls. & quot; Holley is a criminal defense lawyer to her core, and she burns with a passion for the underdog.

She says she' s daunted by Hollywood' s & quot; fancy people. & quot; Her manner is cheerful and open; her quick laugh and glib one- liners can disguise her status as a serious player in the courtroom. Several seasoned criminal defense attorneys, all men, expressed surprise that Holley would be profiled. Some were critical of the way she handled the Lohan case. One pointed out that the actress was sentenced in July to 90 days in jail - - much more time than prosecutors sought. ( Lohan served just 13 days. ) But other observers say such sniping is typical in a competitive, big- ego profession that until very recently was dominated by men. & quot; She' s not a lightweight. Anyone who says otherwise is sexist, & quot; said Laurie Levenson, a professor at Loyola Law School who follows high- profile cases. & quot; When you hear petty remarks, they are just that - - petty, jealous remarks. & quot; Holley should no longer be viewed as just a & quot; sidekick& quot; to power lawyers Johnnie Cochran and Howard Weitzman, Levenson added. & quot; She' s really coming into her own.

She takes on the basket cases. She has high- maintenance clients, and she' s able to maintain them. She does it with great professionalism. & quot; Douglas agreed. & quot; I can' t fault Shawn at all for Lindsay' s predicament. I' m not sure any lawyer could have handled it better than Shawn. & quot; The legal & quot; It Girls& quot; ( they' re not girls, of course; Holley is 48 and Berk 46) share more than a high profile: They' ve both represented Lohan.

And each, at one time or another, has quit the case. Berk referred Lohan to Holley. Neither would reveal details of how the handoff came to pass. & quot; You' ll have to ask Blair that one, & quot; said Holley, who in a similar DUI case got reality TV star Nicole Richie in and out of jail in 82 minutes. & quot; Ask Shawn, & quot; said Berk. Suffice it to say that Berk didn' t feel she was getting through to her famous client. For a while, neither was Holley.

Living La Vida Lohan It' s a moment that makes every defense lawyer cringe. The client begs for one more chance, but the judge won' t buy it.

For Holley and Lohan, the scenario has become all too familiar. The plea deal Blair Berk cut for Lohan in the 2007 case began to fall apart in July. As Judge Marsha Revel ticked off examples of Lohan' s failure to take responsibility, it became obvious that Holley would not be able to make the save. & quot; Please, Shawn, & quot; Lohan begged. & quot; Pleeeeaaase! Ten days ago, when trouble arose a second time, Lohan called Holley. The timing couldn' t have been worse.

On that day, another Holley client, Reggie Bush, was giving back his Heisman trophy.

She' d been up all night helping Bush work on his statement. Back to court Holley and Lohan went. Lohan showed little emotion Friday as Holley asked Beverly Hills Municipal Court Judge Elden Fox if he would consider bail. & quot; May I be heard? & quot; Holley asked. & quot; Nope, & quot; the judge responded and Lohan was handcuffed and led away. & quot; That shocked me, & quot; Holley said. She followed Lohan into the holding cell, and & quot; she just locked eyes with me, & quot; Holley recalled. & quot; Promise me you' re going to get me out of here, & quot; Lohan pleaded, according to Holley, who quickly replied, & quot; I promise you. & quot; She asked Fox to reconsider, then informed him she would appeal. & quot; From there, I just put on my rocket shoes, & quot; Holley said.

She appealed to the Superior Court, writing, & quot; There is no question that Ms.

Lohan is entitled to bail while the alleged probation violation is being adjudicated. & quot; To get in front of a judge, she raced across town and ran into the Criminal Courts Building in downtown Los Angeles as everyone else was leaving. The courtroom where appeals are heard was already dark. She was steered to Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg, who agreed with her and set bail at $ 300, 000.

There was Lohan family drama to deal with, as well. Earlier in the day, Dina Lohan sat with her daughter and Holley in court in Beverly Hills. Lindsay Lohan' s father, Michael, who has been ordered to stay away from Dina, his ex- wife, was also there.

Afterwards, he lit into his daughter' s lawyer, mother, and management team in front of camera crews. He called them & quot; enablers& quot; and accused them of & quot; destroying my daughter' s life. & quot; & quot; I' m not going to dignify those comments with a response, & quot; said Holley, who in the past has pointed out that her client is estranged from her father. When Lohan was first sentenced to jail she tweeted, comparing herself to the Iranian woman sentenced to be stoned to death for adultery. Much ado was made over the expletive stenciled on the nail of her middle finger. Holley quit the case for reasons more complicated than tweets and manicures, but returned to Lohan' s defense within days because she felt her client needed her.

There were no pity tweets the second time around. Holley thinks Lohan is heading in the right direction. & quot; She had to come to terms with all the things that were happening in her life, & quot; Holley said in August. & quot; I think she was hoping that things could be different than they were. When she realized that things could not be different, she had to accept reality. & quot; & quot; It' s a work in progress, & quot; Holley said over the phone on Saturday. According to the Hollywood rumor mill, the Lohan case took a toll on Holley' s friendship with Berk.

Both tiptoe around the rumored rift, so its origins remain murky. & quot; It' s all good now, & quot; Holley said. Berk declined to give details, but said, & quot; Shawn' s a champion for stepping up. & quot; Holley said she visited Lohan on 11 of the 13 days she was in jail, and camera crews swarmed her BMW station wagon every time. & quot; It was absolutely crazy, & quot; Holley said. & quot; I just don' t feel they would have been there for a positive Lindsay Lohan story. If she was building a house for Habitat for Humanity, I don' t think they would have been there. & quot; Holley empathizes with Lohan: & quot; Lindsay Lohan is a 24- year- old girl.

I was a 24- year- old girl. I did a lot of wild, crazy, fun stuff.

We probably all did. But we didn' t have all of that stuff photographed and publicized. & quot; She believes Lohan will overcome her troubles. & quot; She' s tough, and she' s tough on the people around her. When you' re working with her, and for her, and she' s tough on you, you can get grrrrrr - - but I respect her and I admire her and I really think she' s going to come out of this a superstar.

I really do, & quot; she said. Celebrities Behaving Badly It' s another day in court, another pair of red- soled Christian Louboutins for Holley, this time in a summery shade of tan. She' s come a long way from her public defender' s paycheck: The designer kicks go for $ 695 and up. & quot; I call a big part of my practice Celebrities Behaving Badly, & quot; Holley says, navigating her station wagon through a spaghetti bowl of freeways on her way to a hearing.

On this August morning, her attention is on the Calorie Commando case. Her client, former Food Network chef Juan Carlos Cruz, is accused of trying to hire three homeless men to kill his wife.

He has pleaded not guilty. Los Angeles is a car culture. That means busy criminal defense attorneys spend a lot of time idling in the exhaust fumes. Some are chauffeured and work from the back seat, but Holley has become adept at driving both BMW and Black.

Berry at the same time. She dispatches a long list of incoming calls, briefings, legal motions and other mini- crises over the speaker phone with her legal assistant, Jentry Collins. They' ve worked together 12 years and have an easy, bantering rapport. & quot; You' re my best friend, & quot; Collins coos as they sign off. Holley is under a surreal fisheye lens, and even the smallest development in a case can overload her Black.

Berry to the point of meltdown. There are reputations to protect! Careers to save!

Tabloid headlines to shake!

And tabloid reporters literally lurking in the bushes. & quot; They can make mountains out of molehills, & quot; she says.

And on cue, Holley' s Black.

Berry lights up with messages about the celebrity news of the day: The judge is stepping down from the Lohan case.

Holley shakes her head. What' s the fuss?

To her, it' s old news, something that happened the previous week in the judge' s chambers. But everyone' s angling for a comment: TMZ, Radar Online, Us Weekly, Access Hollywood, even CNN and The Los Angeles Times. Any contribution she might make to the noise won' t do Lohan any good, Holley decides. She holds up her Black. Berry and presses: Delete.

Delete. Delete. & quot; When you handle [ celebrity] cases, you can no longer just focus on the case.

There' s all this other stuff that you have to be concerned about, & quot; Holley says. & quot; It' s their livelihood. It' s important for their team - - and their criminal defense lawyer is part of their team - - to be mindful of that and do whatever you can to preserve their image and reputation. & quot; When Holley joined her current firm, Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump & amp; Aldisert - - a mouthful she hopes some day will include & quot; Holley& quot; - - she worried she' d be out of her element, handling a lot of civil business cases. The boutique entertainment litigation firm is best known for negotiating kidnap victim Jaycee Dugard' s $ 20 million settlement with the state of California and advising the executor of Michael Jackson' s estate. & quot; But many of our entertainment clients had DUIs, & quot; Holley said. & quot; And so, Howard Weitzman and I handled Paris Hilton' s DUI.

And then I handled Nicole Richie' s DUI and it just kind of grew from there. & quot; By taking on celebrity cases, Holley joined a small but specialized club. ( Read CNN' s upcoming coverage of other lawyers to the stars: Blair Berk, Marty Singer, Harland Braun, Tom Mesereau, Laura Wasser, Bert Fields and Gloria Allred. ) She darts on and off the 405 freeway and cuts across side streets flanked by dun- colored hills, talking nonstop for 30 minutes on the car' s speaker phone while simultaneously juggling the Black. Berry. A tall cup of designer coffee sits untouched. Holley arrives in court at 8: 40 a. m. She meets briefly in a holding cell with her client, Cruz, who is sporting a fresh shave and haircut with his orange jail jumpsuit. & quot; He looks good, & quot; Holley says.

She schmoozes with the court staff and a couple of attorneys as they wait for the judge to emerge from his chambers. Four camera crews occupy the jury box. Finally, at 9: 52 a. m. , court is in session. But there' ll be no drama on this day.

The hearing is postponed and Holley is free to go. Before she can leave the courtroom, Holley is stopped by a court deputy. He used to be a chef, he tells her. Could she pass along a & quot; hello& quot; to Cruz?

Holley laughs. No one has to remind her: This is Hollywood.

Everyone wants to be a star. J. s and No. Js The only child of a working single mom, Shawn Chapman grew up around lawyers.

She met them at functions at the law offices where her mother worked as a legal assistant and office manager. She became fluent in their language and ways. & quot; She didn' t know her father, and so from day one it was Shawn and I, & quot; said her mother, Freddi King. & quot; I think she got her work ethic from me.

I wasn' t a slacker. & quot; King stressed education and moved around so Shawn could enroll in the best public schools. & quot; She was very headstrong, and she was pushing the envelope, & quot; King recalled. & quot; She was very social. She had black friends and white friends. Everybody loved her. & quot; The day after Shawn graduated from UCLA, her mother received her master' s degree in business administration.

Holley taught at an urban school for a semester after graduation. But one day she brought her mother to class to show her what school was like. & quot; She said, ' I can' t really do this. These children are too far gone, ' & quot; her mother recalled. While attending classes at Southwestern Law School, Holley worked as an intern at the public defender' s office.

She was hooked. & quot; It was such an amazing experience that all I wanted to do was be a public defender, & quot; Holley said. & quot; The first couple of years are really like doing social work. And you have clients you love and care about. Oftentimes they are just poor people who have maybe stolen milk or diapers for their baby and yes, they' re guilty, but you want to help them just the same. & quot; She relished the esprit de corps of the office and its young lawyers & quot; full of zeal and idealism. & quot; Eventually, she moved up to felony cases and started defending real bad guys.

Johnnie L.

Cochran Jr. , the legendary Los Angeles civil rights lawyer, saw her in court one day and recruited her to his firm.

He had known her mother in college. & quot; In Los Angeles, Johnnie was the end- all, be- all lawyer, & quot; Holley said. & quot; He could be seen driving around town in a blue Rolls- Royce. He had personalized plates at a time when a lot of people didn' t have personalized plates. He was very flashy and fabulous. So if Johnnie Cochran recruits you to come to his firm, you go. & quot; At the time, Cochran' s firm didn' t handle criminal cases, and she was reluctant to leave criminal defense work.

But the hiatus didn' t last long. Six months after she joined Cochran, the firm got the O. Simpson murder case and Holley, then still Shawn Chapman, became part of Simpson' s & quot; Dream Team. & quot; & quot; Had Johnnie said, ' You' re going to be on the case, but you' re going to be working in the library and doing grunt work, ' I would have been happy with that, & quot; Holley said. & quot; But he was so generous and he believed in me.

I got to cross- examine a witness.

I got to argue motions. I was in every defense team meeting. He trusted my opinion. I had an equal voice. & quot; She stays in touch with Carl Douglas, who also worked with Cochran on Simpson' s defense. For Holley and himself, Douglas said, & quot; it was like grad school for young lawyers. & quot; He ranked as some of the greatest moments in his career listening to appeals master Alan Dershowitz and forensics wizards Henry Lee and Michael Baden discuss the week' s events.

Often, Douglas recalled, former Santa Clara University law school dean Jerry Uelmen was there, too. & quot; ' If the glove doesn' t fit, you must acquit. ' That was Jerry Uelmen' s line. He said it and we all said, ' Wow. ' It was one of those magic moments. & quot; Television footage shows a young Shawn Chapman in tears as the verdict is announced.

They were tears of relief, she said. & quot; Everyone was afraid there' d be a mistrial and we' d have to do it all over again. & quot; But, she said, when she heard the word & quot; verdict& quot; and saw the single- page verdict slip, she knew it said & quot; not guilty. & quot; A guilty verdict slip would have been several pages. Then came life after the & quot; trial of the century. & quot; Cochran' s firm became a magnet for criminal cases and Holley took over that part of the practice. & quot; I represented Tupac Shakur, who had a number of criminal cases, and a lot of civil cases arising out of pseudo- criminal behavior.

We were part of the Snoop Dogg murder trial; we handled one of the defendants in that case. & quot; The Simpson case made Cochran a celebrity; he moved to New York, wrote a book and co- hosted a Court TV show with Nancy Grace before dying of a brain tumor in 2005. He influences Holley to this day. & quot; I always ask myself, ' What would Johnnie do? ' What would Johnnie do is my guiding question as a lawyer. & quot; Holley went to work for a small firm in Beverly Hills, where the defense of former 1970s radical Sara Jane Olson occupied her for several years. Olson, accused of planting pipe bombs under a police car, ran from the law and hid in plain sight in Minnesota as a doctor' s wife for 23 years. The 9/ 11 terrorist attacks had a huge impact on the case; prosecutors immediately began referring to the fugitive as a & quot; terrorist. & quot; While working on that case, Holley met the man who would become her husband. She was on a flight home from Sacramento, California. & quot; I don' t usually do this, but when I looked up and saw him, I asked, ' Do I know you? ' & quot; He said, ' I wish. ' & quot; About five months later, she started receiving gifts in her office from an admirer who signed the cards & quot; Impulsive. & quot; When she finally agreed to meet him for dinner, she was relieved to see it was the man from the plane.

Dorian Holley toured with Michael Jackson, was a vocal coach on & quot; American Idol, & quot; and is now the singer with the house band on & quot; The Tonight Show. & quot; When Shawn is busy with a case, Dorian sometimes takes their 7- year- old daughter, Olivia, to work with him. When Cochran returned to practice law in Los Angeles, Holley rejoined him. On the side, she worked as a legal correspondent for the E!

Network. She and Howard Weitzman were on a panel of legal analysts for the network' s daily reenactments of the Michael Jackson trial.

Some thought the show was a gimmick, but it paved the way for the next step in Holley' s career. After Cochran died, Holley followed Weitzman to his new firm in Santa Monica. Weitzman is always urging her to be & quot; a real lawyer, & quot; she said. & quot; He' s talking about a big- time, big- money civil lawyer. & quot; She was heartbroken by the death of her legal mentor. But she carried with her one of Cochran' s most valuable lessons: Every client matters. & quot; There are two types of clients, as Johnnie used to say: the OJs and the No. Js. & quot; I' m used to a lot of No.

J' s. I like the No.

Js, too. & quot; The TMZ era With all the injustice in the world, Holley shakes her head at how much breathless attention a few celebrity DUIs can get.

But she deals with the crush because it' s part of an unforgiving but highly lucrative landscape. She talked to the reporters and camera crews that swarmed her at the jail because, she said, & quot; I' m an outgoing person, and so I talk to them because it' s not their fault they' re assigned to be there. They' ve just been sitting at the jail all day and all night. So it' s hard for me to not be gracious and talkative. And then, after I do that, I' m like, ' Ugh, why did I do that? ' That' s when I say, ' What would Johnnie do? ' I feel if Johnnie was alive in the TMZ era, he would be charming and chatty, too. & quot; TMZ creator Harvey Levin, who also is a lawyer, covered the Simpson trial for a Los Angeles television station and watched Holley play Cochran' s understudy, and then come into her own. & quot; I think she' s a great lawyer.

I think she' s really effective, & quot; said Levin, who is teased by his staff for having a & quot; lawyer crush& quot; on Holley. & quot; She learned a lot from Johnnie. Not just about dealing with clients, but dealing with high- profile clients, and how the media intersects. & quot; It' s a game of mutual interests, Levin said. & quot; The sham of this whole business is everybody says ' Hey, we' re journalists, we don' t get used. ' That' s baloney.

Every reporter gets used. It happens all the time. If Lindsay decides to do the ' Today' show, they' re being used. & quot; Experienced Hollywood lawyers look back with nostalgia to a simpler time when they could easily keep their secrets. But the TMZ website launched in November 2005, and the world of celebrity justice hasn' t been the same since. & quot; Kiefer Sutherland recently just had another DUI. It was clear he had prior DUI, & quot; Holley said. & quot; Nobody knew anything about it because it was a completely different time.

I think TMZ has changed everything as far as that is concerned. & quot; & quot; Even in Nicole Richie' s case - - which wasn' t that long ago - - if it happened today, it would be a completely different thing.

I wonder if it even would have been the same outcome because there' s so much swirling around it, & quot; she added. & quot; Anything anybody does now, it' s just whoooosh! Holley knew exactly who' d have the facts on June 25, 2009, when she heard that Michael Jackson had collapsed.

Her husband was in final rehearsals for Jackson' s & quot; This Is It& quot; comeback tour. Choreographer Kenny Ortega told him everything was fine, she recalled.

But over the phone, it was TMZ' s Levin who told her, & quot; Shawn, I think he' s dead. & quot; Minutes later, the news spread around the world: The King of Pop was dead.

The attention showered on a celebrity lawyer can be annoying and intoxicating.

But mostly, it' s exhausting, Holley said. She looks forward to being ignored again when she' s out to lunch with her mother, to not looking over her shoulder for photographers when she takes her daughter to the park. & quot; When I see colleagues and they say, ' I haven' t seen you in the press in a while, ' I say, ' Great - - that means I' m doing my job. ' I feel like I' ve failed as a celebrity lawyer if you see too much of me, because that means I couldn' t keep it hidden. I couldn' t keep it out of the spotlight, and that is not a good thing. & quot;

( CNN) - - A paraplegic pilot is planning an epic solo record- breaking flight from England to Australia. Dave Sykes, 42, plans to make the journey in a microlight, an ultra- lightweight airplane.

Scheduled to fly in early September 2010, & quot; Spokes& quot; or & quot; Wheely Dave, & quot; as he is known, will embark on a one- man mission through 18 countries, flying over 11, 600 nautical miles. It will be the first time someone in a wheelchair has attempted such a feat. & quot; It' s never been done before, & quot; Sykes told CNN, at least not & quot; by anyone in a wheelchair. & quot; His journey across the skies will take him through countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Singapore and Indonesia. He anticipates the flight will take six to eight weeks, flying up to 500 miles and seven to eight hours per day. Built by Britain' s P& amp; M Aviation Quik, Sykes' 450 kilogram microlight has been built with specially modified hand control that enables him to fly without using his legs.

A removable lightweight aluminum wheelchair was also built into the back of the aircraft. Sykes is also embarking on the journey to raise funds for and is urging more sponsors to contribute towards the & pound; 30, 000 he needs to make this dream flight a reality.

The last time someone achieved a similar feat was British aviator Amy Johnson when she flew from Croydon, England to Darwin, Australia 80 years ago.

Sykes says flying gives him a sense of freedom & quot; like going on a motorbike in the sky, & quot; he told CNN. & quot; It was just really nice . . . there were no cars and motorbikes around . . . and the views . . . , & quot; he said. In November 1993, he was on his way to work on his motorbike when the car he was overtaking swerved into him. One minute, he was on the road, the next, he was lying in a hospital bed thinking: & quot; I' m still on my motorbike. & quot; Sykes suffered extensive injuries, breaking his back and ribs. He also punctured both lungs in the accident. His family was told he had a 30 percent chance of survival.

He did make it and and six months after the accident was well enough to leave hospital. Today, he doesn' t think about the past but acknowledges the accident set him on a path to flying.

He first tried parachuting for a charity. When he crashed and broke his leg for a second time, his girlfriend, Lesley, threatened to leave.

He stopped and took up microlighting. That was 10 years ago and he hasn' t looked back. If Sykes is nervy about his impending flight, it does not show but admits the solitude could be an issue. But he' s ready to fight the psychological battle. He said: & quot; It' s just mind over matter.

The world doesn' t end just because you' re on a wheelchair, that' s for sure. & quot;

If you have signs or symptoms common to cystocele, make an appointment with your primary care provider. In some cases when you call to set up an appointment, you may be referred immediately to a doctor who specializes in conditions affecting the female reproductive tract ( gynecologist) .

Here' s some information to help you prepare for your appointment and what to expect from your doctor. What you can do Write down any symptoms you' ve had, and for how long.

Make a list of your key medical information, including any other conditions for which you' re being treated and the names of any medications, vitamins or supplements you' re taking. Take a family member or friend along, if possible.

Sometimes it can be difficult to soak up all the information provided to you during an appointment.

Someone who accompanies you may remember something that you missed or forgot. Write down questions to ask your doctor. Creating your list of questions in advance can help you make the most of your time with your doctor.

For cystocele, some basic questions to ask your doctor include: What is the most likely cause of my symptoms?

Are there any other possible causes? Do I need any tests to confirm the diagnosis?

What are the goals of treatment in my case? What treatment approach do you recommend? If the first treatment doesn' t work, what will you recommend next? Am I at risk of complications from this condition?

What is the risk that this problem will recur in the future? Do I need to follow any restrictions?

Are there any self- care steps I can take? Should I see a specialist? In addition to the questions that you' ve prepared to ask your doctor, don' t hesitate to ask questions during your appointment at any time that you don' t understand something. What to expect from your doctor Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions.

Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask: What are your symptoms? When did you first notice these symptoms? Have your symptoms gotten worse over time? Do your symptoms include pain?

If yes, how severe is the pain? Does anything in particular trigger your symptoms, such as coughing or heavy lifting? Do your signs and symptoms include urine leakage ( urinary incontinence) ? Do you have frequent bladder infections? Do you have pain or urinary leakage during intercourse?

Have you had a chronic or severe cough? Does your work or daily activities involve heavy lifting? Do you strain during bowel movements? Are you currently being treated or have you recently been treated for any other medical conditions?

What medications are you taking, including over- the- counter and prescription drugs as well as vitamins and supplements? Do any of your first- degree relatives & mdash; such as a parent or sibling & mdash; have a history of cystocele or other pelvic floor disorders?

How many children have you delivered? Were your deliveries vaginal or cesarean? Do you plan to have children in the future?

What else concerns you? & copy; 1998- 2011 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research ( MFMER) .

( CNN) - - Researchers announced this week that they' ve found a new gene, ALS6, which is responsible for about 5 percent of hereditary Lou Gehrig' s cases. It' s being called a & quot; momentous discovery& quot; by the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association. Scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital, the University of Massachusetts and Kings College in London found the mutation by doing detailed sequencing of the genes in several families with an inherited form of ALS. The findings are published in the February 27 issue of the journal Science and were partially funded by the ALS Association. ALS, a disease of the nervous system, impairs muscle movement and eventually results in total paralysis.

It was brought to national attention in 1939, when famed Yankee baseball player Lou Gehrig' s illness was diagnosed as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. Today, the disease is most commonly known by his name. ALS6 is a protein normally found inside a cell' s nucleus, but in patients with Lou Gehrig' s disease, it is found outside the nucleus and sometimes forms unusual clumps. ALS researchers are unsure why this occurs but believe this finding, combined with a gene they discovered last year, TDP- 43, may lead them to a firmer idea of what causes this deadly disease. Both genes help in building and transporting proteins and making sure they' re in the right place in cell structure - - a process called RNA processing.

Lucie Bruijn, senior vice president of research and development at the ALS Association, likens this process to building an engine: If there are parts missing or placed in the wrong place or in the wrong way, the engine doesn' t work right. & quot; Everything has an exquisite role and has to be in the right place, and any imbalance . . . can cause things to go awry, & quot; Bruijn said. & quot; It' s exciting because what it' s starting to tell us now is that we might be starting to get an underlying theme, & quot; Bruijn said. & quot; We now have two genes with similar function strengthening the idea that alterations in RNA processing is important in . A completely new direction and also involved in many other neurodegenerative diseases. & quot; She believes this gives researchers & quot; huge& quot; potential to develop new therapies. And new therapies are needed.

There is no cure and only one treatment for ALS, a neurodegenerative disease that seems to progressively attack the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. These attacks can cause symptoms such as muscle weakness, twitching, cramping and thick speech, eventually leading to paralysis.

According to the ALS Association, the disease strikes a little more than 5, 600 people every year, and about 10 percent of those cases are hereditary. The discovery of this new gene mutation will also allow those with ALS in their family to be for another gene ( this makes three genes) .

Bruijn says a test & quot; will be possible; however, currently, it is not widely accessible& quot; and & quot; it would only be used in familial ALS patients. & quot; All About & bull;

03. 11 / Schliersee - The Alps Spitzingsee want snow for another runway. Only a brief, but the development of the mountains is always calling critics of the plan. The not- too- long stretch from the mountain station of the lift Rosskopf back to the base station is a " great departure" , Peter Lorenz, managing director of Alpine Spitzingsee Gmb. H will in future also they will be covered in snow.

A request is made and has now found acceptance in Schlierseer Building Committee. With five snow cannons, two hectares of slopes are covered with snow. When is being built in the stars.

In any case, the application must be examined in more water and nature protection legislation. The development will see the most Spitzingsee Schlierseer positive. The construction of the lift, for example, Rosskopf was not only a gain for the infrastructure, but by the new summit station and from scenic view, said Mayor Francis Schnitzenbaumer ( CSU) of the Building Committee. Meanwhile, there appeared also warning voices. " We are on the way in which we should look up sometimes, " said Gerhard Weitl ( SPD) . The district chairman of the Federal Nature Conservation, Manfred Burger is the development too far.

On request, he said: " The upgrade of the mountains we see very critical. " It had begun with additional snow, then snow was complete and now just the night- skiing. " We think its the wrong way to try to save themselves with the technical solutions through the winter. "

10. 10 / Ohlstadt - Ohlstadt wants to ensure that, in addition to the currently built hangar is not another building being built on the airfield. The council does not take legal action. Once it is established that build the sport pilot group Werdenfels its hall at the new location next to the runway at the old farmstead must urges the council that the permit for the first planned hangar space in the North East will be taken back in the air legal notice.

The committee decided on Thursday evening a majority that should be clarified whether the legal expenses insurance will jump in the event that the community is treading the prosecution. " Otherwise, we probably will not proceed against it, " says Fischer. " But we must respect our rights. " ensure Ohlstadt want it in a new building remains ( Fischer: " Our main fear that a large airport is under construction is" ) and ensure that the old hangar site is declared as an extensive green area. The have also proposed the District Office, City Hall says the boss - as a quick clarifying discussion about the project Pmetsried, could make further legal action unnecessary, an idea that got on the board.

It is planned to sit with representatives of the authorities involved to the table - and with the gliders? " This will set the Office of Aviation, " explains Fischer. " We must definitely know what that means to us. " In any case, no second hangar in Pmetsried - that said Tom Werneck, spokesman for the Werdenfelser gliders. The area that may be built on, " we have used up about 60 percent to 70 percent, all we need. The approval are several warehouses in a reasonable size seems not. " Generally, exists for the development" is not a fixed location. " For excitement, the glider pilot had taken care in advance of the meeting with a letter to all council members - " because we felt that communication within this body does not always perfect and runs smoothly, " said Werneck. The letter revolves largely around the theme Vorkaufsrechtsflchen in Pmetsried. Also defines the group is flying in the letter that in their view, and different than shown no need for clarification of details such as water, sewage and fire protection in Pmetsried longer exists.

At the same time, the association criticizes lack opportunities for discussion with the local council.

This letter is not treated the public anger over but was already in the public session of loud. Veronika Anger ( UWG) mentioned about the letter " outrageous" . Werneck was the response " very strange. First you complained that you do not get information - which is simply not true - and now is whining that is informed, " he says, " Here is no longer about the matter, but only is to defend his ideological position at all costs. " Ultimately, the waves appear in the local council to have smoothed out again: " We said that we only pick out the positives from the letter, " said Fischer. " Everything else we forgot. "

Every 6 wants some woman on the plane 22: 03: 11 / In car parks it exists already: places that are specially reserved for women on the plane, it will now give some woman. .

Men also share this desire. Often it is chance whether a female or male passenger will find a place. According to a survey by lastminute. de women who want some woman on the plane.

Because the plane, some men like to do wide ( 61 percent) , but also because women like to make in large aircraft ( 5 percent) . Men have needs for these seemingly great understanding.

Each supports the Ninth female desire. For to a man who sits next to a woman, it has apparently not always easy: or flirting can not be ( 8 percent) . Airlines to actually introduce one extra woman places, experts suggest simply present a Fly- etiquette: 1) Place sovereignty: in an airplane is limited space - this should accept everyone, instead of explaining the tiny arm to the mini- theater. 2) Nursery: Even if the plane are all together on a high altitude flight - the behavior should remain on the ground. 3) Confidentiality: Some passengers on the plane to use the time to relax - or are simply not particularly interested in the stories of other people sitting close to mother, back pain and Co.

4) Flirt King: Just because you sit close to each other and about the side seats / can not run away in is the long or invitation or permission to flirt.

14: 02: 11 / Kirchheim - your general overview of the current situation of agriculture, had CSU member of parliament and the country farmer of the Bavarian Farmers Association, Anne Marie Biechl can save.

For the invitation of Dagmar Neubauer- Semecky Kirchheimer and the Womens Union to Kiram Wirtshusl took advantage especially those who are already rural women and farmers.

Instead of a general conversation as an intensive exchange arose over the future of agriculture. While fully Biechl said power and optimism, were more frustrated by the present observations. " The world has more and more people. Because we need food. It must then not only biologically but also intense as to produce food " " But whats in it for me, " said a young peasant woman. " The economy must also consider.

Ilse Aigner has nevertheless ensured that we now have to live on 75 percent of compensation. While others make money on an eight- hour day, good money, we work hard for a miserable price. " " We will always fight to the prices of agricultural products, " agreed Biechl: " The lament to help but not when the clock is ticking differently. " Why is it so important for the farmer to stand on several pillars: " When I say that, I am often scolded enough. . But an additional business, such as holidays on the farm, there can be only if it is also a farm are still " It is not everything got worse, said Biechl: " We used to fourth out our dairy farm and not a little work. Today we have to investigate more critters and the possibility of our honorary positions. The technique has shoveled some work capacity.

We can turn the world anymore. " " Our prices are on the level of 1970. Theres not found anywhere else, " objected Sepp Horn Burger: " But we should be humble and glad that we feed Europes population, " the retail prices of 40 years ago, but high prices stood in the present time compared to machinery, fertilizer and the like. . Biechl nodded: " If people would put so much emphasis on the value of their meal, as to what is included in the new BMW, we would have no problem. " Kirchheim local chairman Franz White angry, what is taught in childrens books today than agriculture.

Since few cows are on pasture and chickens run around occasionally: " Modern agriculture today is no more idyllic. This is hard work. " Circle farmer Maria Knoller therefore recruited for the Childrens Day on 31 May: " Invite the children and show them the workings of a court. " CSU district Councillor Barbara Kraft- Heinik thinks more of its own, almost grown- up sons, " What should we advise the children. Are they to be a farmer, " " Safety has to nowhere, " said Biechl: " But I would encourage anyone to learn agriculture. I am convinced that we are an industry that has the future. " Few believe took the audience on the words.

23: 11: 10 / It is usually quite narrow.

Elbow to elbow passengers sit for hours in the plane. But even worse is a crying baby in the neck. Now more and more demand for passengers without children. Many people are afraid of flying, but even more afraid they have to sit on a flight next to a screaming, boxing, uncontrollable child. Especially if it is not their own.

American media are reporting more and more of them to feel extremely irritated travelers of children. For example, in July ended a dispute between a woman and the Australian airline Qantas with a comparison: The woman had alleged that sat on a flight from New York to Australia next to a screaming three year olds and then suffered a sudden loss of hearing have. " Babys Crying" and " hyperactive young children" even after a study of the most unpopular sitting next to on airplanes. 54 percent of travelers will therefore see families with babies and young children placed in a specifically allocated area.

58 percent of childless parents were pleased with this proposal, while a third of parents surveyed supported the idea. 17 percent of childless travelers are so annoyed by the noise of children that they want to make best child- free flights. The survey was conducted among 2000 passengers. " I would gladly pay more for a child- free flight, " said Ian Burford in the . Burford was founded after a flight from Los Angeles to England so annoyed by screaming children, that he ( should airlines offer child- free flights) a Facebook group called Airlines Should Have Kid- Free Flights.

I think its really interresting how many people here think something about the situation zuwissen. There is a point in a marriage nunmal Vonder to no longer funktioniert. Und only because Mr. No " Star- astrologer" is to say so far that he is a good person right?

Im not saying he was not there but who has the right zuentscheiden starve? And pastors are people like you and me, and the commandments, since even now honestly come from a time that is hardly comparable to our own good. I mean they look but once the hero of our time like he is dictated to us in todays society.

He is not a choir boy bracver no he is a normal person with vices ( see Batman and banal as they are all hot) and such a person finds it much more popular and can do more just because he is like all of us.

Such a person passes in front of us, hence achieving Vernderung. So I look at it.

Solar power generation 28/ 12/ 2009 / Holzkirchen, 23. 12. 2009 - The Carpevigo has in the Lower Bavarian district of Straubing- Bogen its solar farm planned Liepolding completed and connected to the network of E.

ON Bayern.

The solar park will now generate about 2789 MWh of electricity.

The solar park Liepolding is on a 6- acre area just outside the Bavarian Forest nature park with some slopes and rugged terrain topography, which places increased demands on planning and construction. It has a capacity of 2, 560 k. Wp. The generation of the plant per year is the power consumption of about 700 typical 4- person households.

Funding partners of the project with an investment volume of around 10 million is the German Bank AG. " In project financing, we are now benefiting from the fact that we have funded our first solar park entirely from its own resources, " said Carpevigo Board Jens F. Neureuther. " Even with our current projects in Italy and the Czech Republic, we operate with a solid Einkapitalquote.

This gives us confidence for future projects in the next year. " When creating art, the Carpevigo relies on a single technical design of all solar parks in Germany and abroad. This includes a fixed orientation of the solar modules and a substructure with Stahleindrehfundamente, First Solar thin film modules and inverters of the German market leader SMA.

28. 09. 09 / Munich - On vacation to be sick or have an accident is a nightmare. Especially when it later dispute with the medical insurance is. You should know the latest case law.

For seven weeks, a couple wanted in Sri Lanka to make an Ayurveda treatment. But on 15 Day of the trip was the husband ill and had to be hospitalized in a clinic. Not until the seventh week he was released.

The holiday was gone - but the couple believed, at least financially to have everything under control by medical insurance. This bill, however, they had made without the insurance. The company pointed out that the insurance cover, there is only six weeks and refused to take over the hospital costs for the last few days. In fact, essential in the case of a health insurance in view of the fine print.

Often there are limitations that one does not count. The two tourists in Sri Lanka were lucky. The district court decided Coburg namely, not that that matters, how long did a trip as a whole.

What matters is that the insured within the insurance period of six weeks had become ill ( Az: 32 S 11/ 08) . Dispute over the scope of services often employed by the courts. Was the verdict of the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg, the insurance company can exclude in pregnancy only services related to childbirth.

For other inquiries she had to pay ( case no 9 U 152/ 99) .

To dispute are also known to regularly prior to travel diseases. insured unless the three risk " acute unexpected illness, injury and death" are the insurance must bear the view of the Munich District Court in each case, the costs that are associated with the death of the insured - even if at a known prior to departure disease dies.

You may only exclude the cost of treatment ( case no 14791/ 06 223 C) . Have very serious chronic illnesses.

The district court denied Bielefeld, for example, any performance by insurance ( reference: 4 O 100/ 92) in such a case. Dispute is also common, when a return is necessary on medical leave from the country. This was the Administrative Court that the mere expectation of the tourists at home in familiar surroundings will recover faster, the insurance company does not undertake to meet the costs ( ref: 1 C 9977/ 96) . In another case, an insurance company wanted to pay to be transported from Antarctica only from the nearest place that adduced by a comparable quality of care in Germany. The Frankfurt court ruled, however, she must pay the transport to Germany ( Az: 7 U 186/ 99) .

The health insurance refuses to be wrong to assume the cost of transport, the customer, following a decision of the District Court Munich even be entitled to compensation ( ref: 6 S 20960/ 06) . Coincidentally, both said the Supreme Court in Karlsruhe ( Az: III ZR 235/ 99) and the Supreme Court in Munich ( Az: 29 U 2875/ 99) a " xenophobic" regulatory void in the small print.

According to the clause should not apply regardless of residence abroad as a country of nationality of the insured person has. To ensure the protection of health insurance in this country would be gone. The courts saw it as an unfair disadvantage in Germany resident foreigners. If insured services must take advantage of, is called for in the settlement correctness. Already a false document can cost the entire insurance coverage.

So at least the district court ruled Munich in the case of a holidaymaker who had cheated several documents under a false statement ( file number: 34 S 521/ 06) .

30. 07. 2009 Monday 12 July The breath of adventure or: pioneers to help you. Who leads electrically surrounds the touch of adventure.

And now and then I get an idea how the pioneers of the automobile like it old- time must have felt as if - far from civilization - to rally around the world set off. Though you can not remove with an electric car too far from civilization, a socket should already be in a more close by. But willingness to erfhrt anyway. For example, in Augsburg, where I was invited to a lecture.

The top Baubehrde had invited into the house Sankt Ulrich, the ultra- modern Conference Hotel of the indices of Augsburg. Munich - Augsburg and back, the knnte are scarce. To go sure, I do not Beibe are about to return home with an empty battery at the intersection Mnchen West, I called the house of St. Ulrich.

I asked whether there probably give an outlet where I think the Mini WHILE knnte Lecture Fri fit to make the journey home. No problem, here it is. I was a reserved underground parking space next to a bright red electric power outlet, but the caretaker was at the service. Electricity costs? No question.

Thank you very much for the excellent service at this location. Friendliness and service, this impression I have gained otherwise miter, Sankt Ulrich in the house as standard. And to provide for electricity for just 1. 50 euros a bill schtzungsweise Gravity Grave, may well be worth little. Nevertheless, what the friendly lady at the reception hut have said when I asked her hut for a few liters of gasoline fr ride home?

The current donation by the indices I used Hut not incidentally. Already hinwrts I had time left, and when I took on the way home the wind shadow of an articulated truck, swung himself on to the mini- range records. But of course the view of the charge level display was very reassuring.

Balm for the soul, so to speak. And since they know each finally out in the Catholic Church. Friday 5 Mar 2010 In the second attempt worked! to bring the outstanding options to problems with a car that is to change cars. BMW has done that, and with the second Mini E I had, although there were a few zapfig cold days, no more problems. Apparently the KLTE- phobia of the first car was thus a typical prototype Phnom. to identify and eliminate such thing is, after all the purpose of such small and test series.

The handling on slippery surfaces, Brig is surprisingly good.

Despite the immense torque turn the Antriebsrder ( the Mini has front wheel drive) is not even on the snow through. The anti- skid control intervenes so fine that I sometimes know only at the display in the speedometer instrument. Monday 14 December The Mini Es do not like cold! One of the Mini E has in common with my wife: Its not like cold. Probably it is because he has me on the journey from the workshop to the office again leave.

On Friday I called the Mini- Center: The car was ready. But there was just in the newsroom the hell going on - no chance to get to 18 to Riesenfeldstrae clock to pick up the kids. So I went there this morning after the car bers weekend under cover in the open stand. 0 degree battery temperature reported to the board computer, Outside, it was shady - 2.

5 degrees. Nevertheless, the Mini has started very good, and inside it was thanks to the electric heater after a few moments of pleasantly warm. I turned on the Middle ring to the west, and treated on the gas, as it wre fragile. In vain: Just before the first error messages appeared Donnersbergerbrcke on the display, and the middle of the bridge it was so much as a week ago: Red battery icon, no longer drive. I could just let the car roll to the right lane, where a construction site before it shut was hardly in the way.

9 km. As a driving route between two Werklstatt- stays, this is not intoxicating. But I know: It is a test, and now comes the hard Phe. Anyway: towing contractor Gnther Stubler was after ten minutes there and salutes me as an old friend. To be honest: the man is competent and friendly.

But I still hope that I did not soon see again. Wednesday 2 December Locked out! After lngerer break I just sign up with an emergency back back to results: Ive locked myself out! Not out of the Mini, but from the E.

On Ladesule, and this is also Approximate the same thing.

The reason: my own stupidity.

This morning appointment, I was with two Mercury readers: Philip had Bergeaud, who tested the Mini now for four months and hand it with a sad look again had, and Wilhelm Church Steiner, the test drivers time in the second season an hour earlier start. An exchange of experiences, it should be, and a photograph with the editorial from the mini Ladesule the Bayer forum. I know mssen hut yes, but I just do not respond when Mr. Steiner church with his card the Sule has opened. Together we joined the editorial Mini, made the cover of the Sule back and watch the flashing Lmpchen, indicating that charging has started properly.

In the editorial, we have talked quite excited ( demnchst report in the Mercury) . After an hour and subjected Kirchensteiner Bergeaud again depart. And I noticed that I was using my card the Ladesule open no more, to pull the plug. Verstndlicherweise may only be the one who eingestpselt his car to the store, abstpseln it again.

Otherwise wren bse scenes on public Ladesulen programmed: If you come to a busy Sule finds himself next to it, pulls the plug on the opponent and that invites its own car . . . Well, thats not possible. Bad is that Im stuck now. But at some point Mr.

Church is determined Steiner returned to his cell phone . . . Eureka, its even faster: A call to E. On brought the solution. To send over someone who opens the Sule with a kind Generalschlssel. Thats what I call service.

Thank you also, Im off the road again. - Sc Sunday 20 September Mini on the road from the holiday back to results and more than two turbulent weeks in the real ( Editorial) pitched life, I have to make do without a weekend mini. The lords of E. On have asked so nice drum that I could not just say no .

After all, E.

Since it helps at all! - Sc Friday 21 August Urlaubsgruesse to the mini Finally, an internet cafe! Now I can get rid of their holiday mood, which to me is burning on the soul ( although I must do without umlauts, which are not making the Danish keyboard) . Here in the Danish North Sea coast would be the ideal application for the electric Mini - not necessarily because of his sprint qualities, because the Kingdom is a strict speed limit: 80 On rural roads, 130 on the highway. And experience shows it works.

Almost all stick to it.

No: The Mini- Land is our northern neighbor by the wind.

Blows 300 days a year, I told our landlord Erling. The remaining 65 days storm. This wind have already taken advantage of the Danes, as was known windmills in Germany only as a toy.

No greater farm that did not have its own power plant. Often there are even two or three windmills, and frequently is a still like this: The Danes do not know more often what to do with the many Green electricity! Before you start to drive with the superfluous military power windmills as ventilators to the wind continue to bring into the country, the E- mini would be ideal: The great battery could the excess power onto augenn smooth and leave an old car drivers dream come true: Fuel for free!

And if you look over below the mini- range ( at a speed of 80 is probably close to 200 kilometers, there is one loose once across Denmark) , is found everywhere Windmueller a friendly, inviting you to refuel - of course free, of course.

As far as my holiday dreams. I hope I have the gentlemen at home, made a little jealous. Although: you fill up for free, too, on the E. Pillar Central Station.

And that works even in complete calm - .

Mk colleague who drove the mini on the weekend, it has now angestpselt morning. 13.

30 clock I picked him. Now predicts the range indicator 178 km. So much of the on- board computer has never promised us! must also go through Mglicherweise mighty mini battery a few charge and discharge cycles before it can play its full Capacity. In any case aroused the car fills up with orange power cord to the E.

Sule, mighty stir. I have barely opened for the flap of the Zapfsule to pull the charging plug, as only two i. D stand next to me. " May I be curious? " Asks one, and leaned into the cockpit.

The other, in railway uniform, screened through the open tailgate of the battery.

Then they lchern me. The questions Ive known all of my neighbors. I will set out mssen to act as changing agency.

But thats okay. All right, when the electric Mini will be of interest and enjoyment. Maybe its the car of the future - . Sc - Thursday 6 August On the highway!

In city traffic, the Mini E purrs quietly, and quickly can be abhngen so at the lights of other cars. But what the current to the highway?

Yesterday I tested this the first time. Before the start of the editorial board the power display was about 70 percent. On motorways, the changed quickly. Because of the construction site on the millipedes zunchst was slow. From the Allianz Arenas were no longer Geschwindigkeitsbeschrnkung.

So drcken accelerator INTENSE Go! 100, 120, 140 kilometers per hour. Nothing more needed to be.

At 150 the car is anyway limited. Go fast there, I thought.

However, this procedure also draws power from the battery properly. The needle of the charge indicator moves rapidly toward 0 ziemli ch In Eching I have been below 50 percent. Better turn around!

I think I will go home! Once there was a good third of the charge exists.

Luck luck! One thing is now clear to me: Lngere driving on the highway are not the cause of the mini- mk- E Wednesday 5 August Sc- mate has launched today. He wants to climb mountains. Therefore, he has me in worse condition the Mini E.

A good idea - especially because sc with the stream of Mnchen kme While in the mountains, but not back to results back.

Sure, the Mini E has indeed only 150 kilometer range. Dafr brought me straight into the Guided Zwickmhle. A colleague brought me yesterday frherer nmlich by a not very small box of wine in the office. I love to take home this hut.

No problem on the passenger seat is so square, I thought. However, I had also promised a friend to pick her up from work. What to do? The Mini E has but one trunk that is really none. fit in the hut, not even the girlfriend. To cut a long story short, Ive decided the girlfriend then Fri.

The wine I take today. - Mk- Tuesday 4 August. Mini seeks connection! On the concierge at the Press House Bayerstrae reliable: It has freed our mini- Fri E is a socket in the yard. 32 amp electric power - as the dead battery after just four hours is full again.

Theoretically. In practice, I have a plug problem.

The charger of the Mini, although for 32 amps charging current designed to end in a plug, fr which the standard provides for only 16 amps. The 32- amp outlet is simply too great. It also gbe a format similar matching 16 amp socket in the recycling center of the publishing house. But when the Mini sucking it flies out the fuse. ( So little and so a thirst ) . Lets see if the house electrician einfllt what.

After all, E. ON has promised that we get access to demnchst Zapfsule on Bayers forum at the Paul- Heyse- Unterfhrung. Currently there is a thick, retractable bollards between us, fr the first radio transmitter must be obtained a few days ago I wrote at the start of the mini- D project of " pioneers" Now I fhle me like one. . . - sc Monday, 3 August. Slowly I am learnings. Not the driving itself, but how to deal with the gas- pardon the accelerator pedal.

The E- mini is distinguished even among other things, the fact that the motor and the generator zurckspeist current to the battery as soon as one goes from the pedal. In this case the car is braked, and rather violent - according to BMW with health to 0.

25 g. , Ill pressed discs with a quarter of my Krpergewichts forward. The result was even a zunchst frchterlicher Rumpel- driving style. Accelerating and braking.

In between was little. My first passenger looked a bit seasick .

Meanwhile, I further: It is - as so often - all a matter of feeling. You just have to deal with the pedal gently enough, then you can gently let the tramp also roll out. " Recuperate" And, like the professional the Srom- Rckgewinnung calls, he does it. But just as carefully, that you might not sprt, but can only read from the dafr zustndigen bar display in the speedometer. I will not let this thing from now on out of sight.

Perhaps I even one day to recuperate so much that the battery is full at the finish than at the start . - Sc Saturday 1 August. First shopping trip with the Mini E - alone, then the beer box fits on the front passenger seat . Somehow came up with funny to the supermarket parking lot, the people. Walking with her car in front of me in the middle of the road along, as if they want to stop me on purpose. Gemtsruhe go around behind the car over, ausparken as I want.

Rgern want me, or pulls it all to the hospital?

At some point, I realize: the lead not just me! If you roll in walking speed or ranks, the current is so low that the sum bit goes in the allgegenwrtigen Geruschkulisse. So look before every Rckwrtsfahren twice and always count on the fact that one runs away from the Khlerhaube. Just the way Ive learned it ages ago at the driving school again - .

Sc - Friday 31 July 2009.

After mk colleague drove the electric mini yesterday in the editorial ( the screeching tires, we want to see him, hes just BMW drivers ) , I was allowed to go home at night. incidentally without squeaking, shrill, Mr! The plan was simple: Leaving extension cable to go straight and pull into the garage, mini and recharge the battery overnight. It was then but a little something more complicated: I share my nmlich with a neighbor a duplex garage. As are other areas on a kind Hebebhne two cars.

My place is up, and the little Daihatsu Cuore, which is compared to the truly mini Mini, should now give way to the silver stream. The Hebebhne thought it was not funny and did not make a sound anymore. No wonder: the mini is 1555 pounds, almost twice as heavy as the little Japanese. So bring tools from the garage and move the device that determines the position of the car on the platform, all the way back.

As the lever is gnstiger. To 22 clock my fingers were lverschmiert, drenched in sweat, the clothes, but the Mini floated upward. A stage victory. However, I must now teach my wife somehow that the Radl- Hnger, the bike and all sorts of other Gert now has no place in the garage. I frche, storage space, which I have set up under cover of darkness in the garden, LSST not go through me.

At least the loading went well.

This morning was the mini- E again fully operational. I after two or three cups of coffee also, at least einigermaen. Ill report back if there is something new to report - from the Mini E, my wife and from the storage bin in the garden. sc Thursday 30 July 2009 Now it starts ACTUAL starts with the Mini E.

The test of the electric car. Even the Mnchner Mercury got a car. For a year we drfen drive around with it. The introduction to the 204- hp power generation have on Wednesday another two colleagues and a colleague .

Get with one of them I was earlier in the handing of the car at the German Museum. Now the car is in the courtyard of Mercury. Unfortunately, a lot of traffic on the way here. One, we have ( sc colleague in the passenger seat) , nonetheless noted.

The air box is not bad . Once when starting squeaked by mistake even the tires sc, me ( of course unbegrndeterweise) Fri hlt a quick driver, said only: " No comment! " Mk
