Santa Clara, Calif. -- Coach Jim Harbaugh has "definitely noticed" the string of performance-enhancing-drug suspensions that have hit the San Francisco 49ers' chief division rival, the Seattle Seahawks, over the past 18 months.

"It has no place in an athlete's body," Harbaugh said of performance-enhancing drugs in general. "Play by the rules.

Added Harbaugh, the former Michigan quarterback: "You always want to be above reproach, especially when you're good, because you don't want people to come back and say, 'They're winning because they're cheating.' That's always going to be a knee-jerk reaction from people I've found in my experience, ever since I was a little kid."

The Seahawks, who finished a half-game behind the 49ers in last season's NFC West standings, have had six players test positive for performance-enhancing substances since December 2011. Only cornerback Richard Sherman escaped a four-game suspension upon appeal.

Harbaugh, speaking at the start of the 49ers' three-day minicamp Tuesday, did not chastise the Seahawks directly for the officially undisclosed violations.

"You don't know what it is," Harbaugh said of the drugs in question. "Even when people say what it is, you don't know that's what it is. The NFL doesn't release what it actually is. So, you have no idea.

Harbaugh said the 49ers have a "constant theme" warning their players about banned substances.

"We want to be above reproach in everything, and do everything by the rules," Harbaugh said. "Because if you cheat, then you've already lost, according to Bo Schembechler. And Bo Schembechler is about next to the word of God as you can get in my mind. It's not the word of God, but it's close."

Harbaugh played quarterback for Schembechler from 1983-86 and his father, Jack Harbaugh, was an assitant coach under Schembechler.

Mobile mayoral candidates Sandy Stimpson and Sam Jones were asked to write 250-word essays about a Press-Register editorial urging the inclusion of biking/walking paths on the proposed I-10 bridge.

As Mike Marshall pointed out in his May 30 Press-Register editorial, Charleston figured out the bang-for-the-buck formula with the Cooper River Bridge. So did Washington D.C. with the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. And over in Mississippi, Mayor Connie Moran of Ocean Springs led the fight to make the new, wider and higher bridge welcoming for walkers and bikers.

What does it take to get the engineers' attention and turn bridges-and-highways-as-usual into infrastructure with multiplier effects? "A little gumption," Marshall wrote.

I think that should be part of a mayor's job description. But passionate advocacy doesn't seem to be the style of our city's current CEO.

Let's stop hiding behind budget restraints. Getting infrastructure investment to work harder for more comprehensive goals is a money-saving strategy. And let's stop running from tussles with state and federal bureaucrats. Both the feds and ALDOT say they have mandates for "multimodal" approaches which is to say, options beyond private automobiles like walking and biking and transit. Sometimes it takes a little gumption to remind them what they've promised.

That's why I'm running for mayor.

Sandy Stimpson: Let's go "multi-modal" with the I-10 bridge over Mobile River

Mobile mayoral candidates Sandy Stimpson and Sam Jones were asked to write 250-word essays about a Press-Register editorial urging the inclusion of biking/walking paths on the proposed I-10 bridge.

Please note that under my leadership on the MPO, we solicited the Mobile Area Transportation Study (MATS), a comprehensive and continuous look at ways to improve and expand multimodal transportation options for passengers. In addition,we formed the MPO Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee and the Technical Coordinating/Citizens Advisory Committee. These are standing committees that will advise the MPO on future transportation projects. Although the final decision on the bridge will be made by the Federal High Administration and the Alabama Department of Transportation, a positive vote from this panel, will certainly weigh heavily.

This is some of the wording on the resolution "...Therefore, Be it Resolved that the MATS Metropolitan Planning Organization in session this 5th day of June 2013, does hereby express support for bicycle/pedestrian facilities to be included into the design and construction of the I-10 Mobile River Bridge..."

The MPO's decisions are powerful when it comes to determining which projects are funded locally.

There is no doubt a transportation alternative is needed to address the congestion we experience daily going through our tunnels. It is our vision for a city that is people-focused, well designed public spaces and a transportation network between city destinations and urban environment. That vision includes a cycling and walkable-friendly city.

alstria leases 7,700 sqm in Dsseldorf

- State of North Rhine-Westphalia leases asset in Hans-Bckler-Strasse 36 on a long-term basis

- New lease crystallises internal growth potential

- New contract is one of the largest leases in Dsseldorf year to date

Hamburg, June 13, 2013 - alstria office REIT-AG (symbol: AOX, ISIN: DE000A0LD2U1), the leading German office REIT, announces the signing of a lease for its asset in Hans-Bckler-Strasse 36, Dsseldorf.

With the successful lease-up of the building located in Hans-Bckler-Strasse 36, Dsseldorf, alstria signed one of the largest new leasing contracts in Dsseldorf this year. The Company agreed on a long-term lease for the entire building with the State of North Rhine-Westphalia for the accommodation of a regional finance office (Finanzamt Dsseldorf-Nord). The lease will start in the first half of 2014.

alstria acquired the short-term leased asset in mid-2011 from the Dutch real estate company VastNed. The new long-term lease was signed 18 months after the former tenant ERGO Versicherung vacated the building.

The new leasing contract is a major success to alstria's local team in Dsseldorf, which was established less than one year ago. The letting of the 7,700 sqm building (plus 119 parkings) reduces the vacancy in alstria's Dsseldorf portfolio by approximately 40% in one shot and will contribute to the Company's internal growth from 2014 onwards. The leasing success is based on the combination of a well located, high-quality building, alstria's competitive pricing in the leasing market and the Company's strong and proven asset management expertise.
