quote:but I love that I can come to this board for my Falcons news
quote:Falcons released RT Tyson Clabo. It's a salary cap move as the Falcons work toward a Matt Ryan extension. Clabo started 100 games and made one Pro Bowl during his seven-year Atlanta career, but was owed $4.5M in each of the next three seasons. In-house replacement Lamar Holmes will make just $480K in 2013. Still, it's surprising to see ProFootballFocus' No. 5 right tackle get axed. Clabo turns 32 in October, but there are plenty of teams in need of a 6'6/329 mauler. He joins Andre Smith and Eric Winston in a surprisingly loaded free agent right tackle market. Apr 4 - 9:30 AM
quote:He is an above average starter
quote:Everytime we discuss your shitty team
quote:MORE MONEY THAN ROMO! MORE MONEY THAN FLACCO! MORE MONEY THAN ER' BODY!
quote:I'm actually curious to see what happens more with the movement of Matt Ryan's deal. It should get interesting.
quote:Trust me when I say don't read anything into Tyson Clabo's photo as far as having something to do with the #Saints.
quote:I wonder if he's trolling Falcons Fans?

That's Beijing Magazine has published video of a giant screen in downtown Beijing that is broadcasting an endless loop of bad news that has recently unsettled Americans, including the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, and an ISIS militant preparing to execute journalist James Foley. To say the least, it's in questionable taste, as That's Beijing explains:
The footage of Foley comes in spite of concerted efforts throughout western media, and especially on Twitter, to censor images of the execution. Many media outlets have been moved to depict the courageous journalist as he was in life, not death: a dedicated and respected war reporter. [That's Beijing]
That's Beijing editor-in-chief Steve George told Quartz:
"This type of juxtaposition is fairly common in China," says George, adding that images of peace and prosperity in China are typically contrasted with clips of violence around the world, promoting the narrative that "chaos looms beyond our pleasant and safe borders." [Quartz]
The House on Friday night passed a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security for one week, averting a shutdown of the department. The Senate had passed the bill earlier in the day.
Late Friday evening, the Senate passed a stopgap bill that would fund the Department of Homeland Security for one week. The deadline to fund the department expires at midnight Friday.
Earlier in the day, the House failed to pass a stopgap bill to fund DHS for three weeks, with conservative Republicans abandoning Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) in his attempt to prevent a department shutdown.
It remains to be seen whether the House will pass the latest Senate bill.
The House on Friday failed to pass a stopgap bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security for three weeks, with conservative Republicans abandoning Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) in his attempt to prevent a department shutdown. The Senate earlier in the day passed a bill to fund the department that stripped curbs on President Obama's recent executive actions on immigration, which House Republicans oppose.
This is the latest in a long series of humiliating setbacks for Boehner, who has failed time and again to corral his restive caucus on important votes.
The deadline to fund the department expires at midnight. It remains to be seen whether Boehner will conjure up a face-saving Plan B, or allow a vote on the Senate measure, hoping it will pass with a coalition of moderate Republicans and Democrats.
Boris Nemtsov, Russia's former deputy Prime Minister and harsh critic of President Vladimir Putin's regime, has reportedly been shot dead while walking in Moscow near the Kremlin.
Nemtsov, 55, served under Russia's first post-Soviet President Boris Yeltsin in the 1990s, but became a popular figure in opposition politics once Yeltsin's successor, Vladimir Putin, came to power.
Fresh on the heels of the discovery of a supermassive black hole, astronomers have located a medium-sized black hole in the NGC 2276 host galaxy, 100 million light years away.
The black hole is extremely rare, Discovery News reports, and it could be "the missing link in black hole evolution." NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the European Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) Network found the black hole, thanks to radio waves "from energetic sources in the cosmos," Discovery News notes.
Intermediate-mass black holes are notoriously difficult to find, and the one in question, NGC-2276-3c, is extremely important to astronomers. The black hole has qualities representative of both stellar-sized black holes and supermassive black holes, Andrei Lobanov of the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy told Discovery News, so it "helps tie the whole black hole family together."
The astronomers are researching how NGC-2276-3c reached its host galaxy. They believe the black hole may have formed in a dwarf galaxy before merging with NGC 2276. Studying NGC-2276-3c could help scientists better understand black hole growth and how black holes become supermassive in their respective galaxies.
Even the humble padlock is getting a "smart" upgrade, said John Brandon at Wired. A Utah firm called FÜZ Designs has unveiled a Bluetooth-enabled padlock called Noke (pronounced "no key") that can be opened using mobile devices like iPhones and Android phones. To open the $60 lock, just press on the lock's shackle, which triggers the device to search for a paired phone nearby and unlock. If your phone isn't available, don't worry: Noke, which comes in silver or black, also allows users to program the lock with a backup combination. And if the internal battery dies, a terminal on the lock's underside lets you plug in with a new battery for temporary power. "Much nicer than a bolt cutter, right?"
Leonard Nimoy has died at age 83, and President Obama issued a statement Friday praising Nimoy and his portrayal of Star Trek's Spock.
Here's Obama's statement:
Long before being nerdy was cool, there was Leonard Nimoy. Leonard was a lifelong lover of the arts and humanities, a supporter of the sciences, generous with his talent and his time. And of course, Leonard was Spock. Cool, logical, big-eared and level-headed, the center of Star Trek's optimistic, inclusive vision of humanity's future.
I loved Spock.
In 2007, I had the chance to meet Leonard in person. It was only logical to greet him with the Vulcan salute, the universal sign for "Live long and prosper." And after 83 years on this planet — and on his visits to many others — it's clear Leonard Nimoy did just that. Michelle and I join his family, friends, and countless fans who miss him so dearly today. [The Chicago Sun-Times]
Nimoy suffered from complications due to end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. His last film role was in 2013's Star Trek Into Darkness.
While fellow Floridian Republican Gov. Jeb Bush reaffirms his commitment to immigration reform, Sen. Marco Rubio is upping his appeal to the conservative base by backing off in his support for the issue.
Rubio elicited laughter from the audience at CPAC during a Q&A session with Fox News' Sean Hannity when he admitted that his support for the 2013 bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill "wasn't very popular, I don't know if you know that from some of the folks here."
Changing his tune ahead of a probable 2016 presidential run, Rubio now says that he "gets" that there are millions of people living in America illegally who have not broken any other law, but that he has "learned you can't even have a conversation about that until people believe and know… that future illegal immigration will be controlled."
The Hill reports that while acknowledging the error of his ways on immigration reform, Rubio also touched on the importance of border security.
"You can't just tell people you're going to secure the border, we're going to do E-Verify," Rubio said, "you have to do that, they have to see it, they have to see it working."
WIsconsin Governor Scott Walker (R)'s proposed budget would probably strike most people as a pretty boring read. But Jezebel has discovered "a non-fiscal bombshell" inside the budget: a plan to stop universities from reporting sexual assaults on campus.
The budget, if approved, would cut $300 million from the state's public university system. But just after a section on student tuition bills, Walker's budget asks the state to "delete language related to sexual assault information and reporting." In that section, Walker proposes the state should "delete the requirement that any person employed at an institution who witnesses a sexual assault on campus or receives a report from a student enrolled in the institution that the student has been sexually assaulted report the assault to the dean of students."
If Walker's budget proposal is approved, universities would no longer be required to report their numbers of campus sexual assaults to the Department of Justice. And university employees who witness sexual assault would have no obligation to report the event. The budget also asks the state to delete its requirement that school orientation programs provide information on sexual assault for new students.
The U.S. economy's third quarter showed the strongest growth (5 percent) in 11 years, but the fourth quarter, not so much.
A report released today by the Commerce Department shows that the economy grew at an annual rate of 2.2 percent, though early estimates pegged that number at 2.6 percent. The harsh winter may have been to blame for the fourth quarter's lackluster performance.
Analysts, however, are hopeful that the sluggish cycle won't become a trend. Some economists have forecasted a growth rate of 3.1 percent for the year, which would be the best GDP performance since 2005.

A Grand Slam: Connected through Lou
By Ryan Pregent
Lou Gehrig has been my favorite baseball player since I can remember the game. He was my dad's favorite player, so he became my favorite player. When I became more knowledgeable on the game and its history, Gehrig only became a bigger hero of mine.
Gehrig is one of baseball's great tragic stories. He is a role model for all in any walk of life. Everyone knows about how he went to work for 2,130 straight games. He played through aches pains and broken bones. One of my most vivid baseball memories growing up was watching Cal Ripken Jr. break Gehrig consecutive games streaks. As my dad and I watched, it was a bittersweet moment for me. I watched a great player accomplish a feat that may never be achieved again, but Gehrig was no longer baseball's Iron Man.
Lou still has one career record, though, that most probably don't realize. Gehrig hit 23 grand slams – the most in a single career. Everyone knows the all-time leaders in hits, home runs and steals, but the grand slam record isn't paid much attention.
It's an amazing record to hold after all these years. Some may argue that grand slam depends too much on circumstance. When talking about a player being clutch, there probably is no better statistic than grand slams. The player is delivering at the most efficient and opportune time, giving their team the maximum production with four runs. The grand slam is a game changer, whether ahead or behind, it shows performance when needed most. Twenty-three over a career is remarkable, not to mention a career shortened by the disease that now bares Gehrig's name.
Like his consecutive game streak, Lou's grand slam record could be broken. Both Manny Ramirez and Alex Rodriguez have 21 career grand slams. But whether he holds any records or not, my dad and I will always call Gehrig our favorite player.
Thanks to Lou, baseball has connected us. One of the great things about working here at the Hall of Fame is the third part of our mission to connect generations. My hope is when families come to our new One for the Books exhibit, which opens Memorial Day Weekend in Cooperstown, they find a player or record that helps them connect.
Ryan Pregent is a membership associate at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Whether Gehrig's grand slam record falls to Ramirez or Rodriguez, or not, his accomplishments in no way will be diminished. Lou Gehrig was the type of ballplayer and man whose accomplishments and character transcend time.
Dear Ryan –
Thank you for your post on Lou Gehrig. Part of me hopes that Lou's record won't be broken –at least by those two players. Manny Ramirez and A-Rod may have good stats, but their self-absorbed diva behavior makes make cringe –especially when compared to one of the most honorable men in the game. Lou has had a tremendous impact on my life (ask Craig Muder about this! We had corresponded regarding one of the Gehrig exhibits and a couple of essays that I had written.)
Anyway, Thank you for speaking about the grand slam records and sharing your interest and passion for Mr. Gehrig. What a tremendous player and a tremendous man.
B. Mendoza
Lou Gehrig has always been my favorite player of all time as well.The way that he bravely faced his death has always impressed me greatly.Even when he knew that there was little chance for survival he used he connections with the Mayo Clinic to help other people(usually with minor problems-like his wife Eleanor`s skin rash).I hope he keeps his grand slam record.Let`s see some of those over paid babies try to break his record of 5 seasons with over 400 total bases!

I bought this as it is getting such good reviews and it lived up to the hype. Crazy levels and more accessible for younger gamers as it is a bit easier than Mario but there is still a lot of challenge. Loads of levels and the multi player is great too. The use of the Game pad is also very well implemented.

September first was a big day for juniors in high school as it was the first day they could receive messages and mail from college coaches and the Florida Gators have taken full advantage of this.
Just days after September first 2016 Miami receiver commit Dredrick Snelson (5-11, 194, Plantation, FL American Heritage) received good news from one of the Florida Gators assistant coaches.
"Coach [Chris] Leak offered me a scholarship to Florida about a week ago," Snelson said. "He basically said that he wanted me really bad and that he can't wait to get me up there for a visit. He was telling me a bunch of stuff about the Florida program."
One of the things that Leak was telling Snelson was that if he chooses Florida he can reconnect with one of his good friends on the football team.
"Coach Leak was saying that they already have my freshman quarterback Treon Harris there so I should join him," Snelson said. "He was saying that we are already have chemistry together and that I know how Treon plays so that I would love it in Gainesville."
Playing with Harris is something that Snelson thought was in the past but the opportunity to play with him again is something that has him excited.
"It would be great to play with Treon again because he's an excellent quarterback," Snelson said. "We are still friends so it would be nice to play with him again. It would be a nice feeling."
Not only does Florida have the connection of Harris playing in its favor but Snelson also grew up pulling for the team in Orange and Blue.
"I know that Florida is an excellent program because I liked them a lot when I was younger," Snelson said. "I'm glad to get the offer and I'm interested in Florida and I like them."
Despite growing up a fan of the Florida Gators Snelson committed to a rival of Florida's, but things aren't done yet according to him.
"I'm committed to Miami but I'm keeping my options open," Snelson said. "I'm committed but I'm going to visit Florida for a game this fall."
INSIDER TAKE: Florida needs to get Snelson on campus this fall and I believe if they do then things could work in Florida's favor quickly. The positive influence Treon Harris has over guys in South Florida is great and that will help Florida here.

Last night before I made a couple NY pies, I thought, what a perfect time to get an accurate calorie count for one of my pies. I have a pretty standard cheese pie base, and from there, I can add toppings. Let me just say, I now know why my jeans are tight. I'm not ignorant of the fact that it's pizza, and not health food, but in the quantity that I can eat,..... holy crap. So if anybody else is counting calories this winter, maybe this will help.I use a 350g dough ball at 60-62%, so at say, 60, that's 220g of flour. My flour is 350cal/100g. so, 770 dough cal per 15" pie. I use straight milled tomatoes, no oil or sugar,.... they're 35 calories/ half cup. I'll guess and say 30 cal for my pie.The whole milk Mozz I use is 90 cal/30g. I thin slice it on my slicer, and use 90g, so 270cal.A guaranteed tbsp of grated cheese, 20 cal.So if I remember my 4th grade math, one of my 14-15"cheese pies is 1090,.. call it 1100 calories !I know I'm not the only pizza freak here, and my crust is thin, etc... I can eat a whole pie pretty easily. Add a craft beer, salad, and oh yeah, some toppings, mystery solved. My sausage for example is 200cal/ 3.5 oz. the picture is more clear. If my doctor was here watching me type, he would remind me of all the sodium in one pie too,...huge. Last night, I had a half a beer from a grumbler, a small salad, and half of this mushroom and sausage pie. It was delicious, and I didn't starve !
If your dough has any oil it don't forget to include the calories (9-calories per gram) from it too. If you want to get into "healthy" pizza you can blend your existing cheese 50/50 with a tofu based cheese product ("0" cholesterol) to get a 50% reduction in cholesterol from the cheese component, then you can explore poultry sausage (actually pretty good). If you're going to Pizza Expo you should be able to find to find some there to sample. In some supermarkets you can find cholesterol free cheese product from Galaxy Nutritional Foods which can be blended with your regular cheese. Or for toppings just stay with the veggies, or if meat is on the menu use skinless chicken or fish/seafood. It sure beats eating only a single slice! Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
Tracking calories is inaccurate. Companies are allowed to by law over or under estimate on their calorie labels. That's why tracking the macronutrients(fat/carbs/proteins) on the labels is far more accurate than the actual calories themselves . If you add up the macros on labels you'll see that some times, maybe more often than not the calories wont add up. Each macro has its own calorie count, 1g of fat=9 calories and 1g of carbs/proteins=4 calories.Just some food for thought because a lot of the calories from pizza comes from fat.
Calorie counts on most foods made from carbohydrates, protein and fat take in the combination of ingredients and the fact that a gram of fat has more calories than protein and carbohydrates is accounted for. The problem is if you read the label carefully about what is a serving you'll find such a serving is nothing like you might assume. It will be much smaller. Then people just ignore that, eat two or more servings, and count it as one. That's just self deception. Most restaurants, especially American or bar food, will serve what amounts to four or more servings on a plate. Pizza restaurants are generally going to serve more salt and fat (oil) in a personal pizza than the recipe I make at home. So my basic 815 calorie pizza might be closer to a thousand calories plus the toppings.I sometimes leave out the olive oil in the dough as well as the sprits on the dressed out pizza and can go a little lighter on the cheese. At 200-220 grams for the dough I think I have that as thin as I want for an 11" pie. Bake on a stone instead of an oiled pan also helps. I don't like to go cheap on the ingredients or make substitutions. Why bother if it comes down to that? I often wonder how Walmart can offer a $3.50 frozen pizza when I spend that much money for my cheese alone even if I buy it in a Walmart.
What you said about people not realizing how small serving sizes are is true. But what you said about the calories being accounted for is incorrect. I've attached a picture of a box of cereal. If you add up the calories from the macros, it adds up to 123 calories per serving, which is 3 calories off from the 120 stated on the box. Now 3 calories is nothing but you're like me and had 3 serving you'd be off by 9 calories. Like you said people don't realize how small servings are and eat 2 or 3 or more. And you'd be surprised at how many food companies and labels are like this. So if you're tracking only calories and they are off by those increments and you are eating more than you think those small numbers add up very quickly at the end of the day. That's why I said tracking actual macronutrient numbers is far superior than tracking the calories alone because they have to put in the correct amount of fat/carb/protein be they are legally allowed to over or underestimated on the calories.
At the moment my sodium intake is about 5g-6g a day and maybe around 7g-8g on Saturdays. As long as you don't have massive fluctuations you'll be fine.
You guys might think it's obsessing but it's those little things that matter.

The entire family agrees....these were SCRUMPIOUS !! And quick /easy to make! Highly recommended!!
Sausage and In Peppers Sausage and peppers has always been one of my favorite Italian comfort foods, and also rather easy to make. I had been pondering writing some new stuffed pepper recipes due to their easy, and decided to spin the common recipe to merge my love for two different recipes. This is…
"The moment YOU think you have nothing more... is the EXACT same moment you have more that you thought capable..." -Robin Lyons Achieving "Full Effort Full Victory" Mentally "In slow motion, the athletes eyes close and then re-open focusing back to the barbell. There are 70 seconds left in the 10 minute workout; the athlete is trying get air back into their lungs, and as soon as the air fills the lungs a violent exhale follows to ride the C02…The cycle continues, legs are heavy and burning, something inside is telling the athlete to slow down…Within that same split second the athlete has a choice to either give up or trust their training and see what they are capable of… Without hesitation the athlete notices this familiar anxiety and discomfort and brings themselves back to the present with self-talk … 'Let's go!', 'Earn it,' 'Power through!' The athlete grabs the barbell; chalk and sweat fall below as the athlete continues reaching for more; Moving the barbell with purpose and metal fortitude." The depiction above is what I love about sport; Period. Over the years I have competed in many venues nationally and internationally and have come to understand the importance mental preparation: Your ability to focus rules for better or worse in high-level performance sports. Focus in sport can be defined as "the ability to sustain effective and consistent attention on the task at hand, regardless of internal and external distractions." Performing your best against your competition all comes down to your mind. Fitness, at the elite level, is a very small separator; the mind dictates who will be standing on the podium or attaining a personal best performance. Don't just take my word for it. Research by Gould, Eklund and Jackson has found that competition plans, as well as sticking to one's routine, are key separators between Olympic Games medalists and non-medalists. Athletes who medaled had competition plans firmly in their minds and were not spontaneous or doubting of their strategies. Additionally, the researchers found thrat medalists had very systematic pre-competition performance routines they consistently adhered to throughout their Olympic experience. On the other hand, many non-medalists reported having spontaneous competition plans and regularly deviating from their pre-competition routines. I encourage every competitive athlete to practice purposeful visualization before they compete as well as utilize pre-game routines and rituals on game day. Mental preparation isn't going to improve your conditioning, however more importantly, it will allow you to draw the most from your current conditioning to become resilient when it counts and fulfilled when its over. Three strategies I find useful for optimizing your mental game before an important event or competition, include: 1) NO Pressure in the PRESENT. What are you thinking about hours or moments before your compete? Are you nervous? Are you thinking about outcomes that haven't happened yet (the future), or what results you had last year (the past)? When we think of the past or the future, it distracts us from what we are trying to accomplish NOW, and creates additional stress and anxiety that isn't helpful. When we are not present, anything can pull us away from our focus. I challenge you to check in with yourself and your thoughts before competition. Keep your thoughts on your game plan and YOU, stay present and feel the pressure pass through you. 2) Find your Super Pilot. Set your day up so you can be on Auto-pilot (AKA Super Pilot!). To find your 'Super Pilot', prepare your mind and body beforehand. Start with solid visualization. This can be practiced week out if you know your event or the night before or the morning. Visualization takes practice, and more practice, but do it until you see and feel yourself completing the event perfectly. Visualization is a powerful tool that gives your mind and body a chance to connect and rehearse the EXACT feeling you want to have during the event. You will find, with good visualization practice, that your mind and body can just 'let go' and do what it have been shown. Secondly, what are your rituals, favorite shoes, music and pre comp foods? Set those out to be ready to go for game day. Having less to think about and do on competition day always feels good. Create a routine you have control over, so if anything happens that you didn't plan for, you can find comfort in your preparedness. 3) The Struggle makes it Special. If you have put in the reps and the training all year, then the struggle is something you are familiar with. Competition is an opportunity to bring your best to the table, and learn more about yourself. Great athletes are addicted to the strong sensation of discomfort, in the search for a deeper sense of self. Embrace the pain. Courtesy OPEX If your doing the OPEN on the Friday, take today as a rest day.

quote:Following the news last week that Sony may be ditching the iconic design of the Dualshock controller for its next-gen console, Kotaku claims otherwise stating that dev kits currently support the Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers. However, they do claim there will be two new controllers. Currently named the Orbis Development Tool, one controller will apparently feature motion-sensing and a capacitive touchscreen, like the back of PlayStation Vita, as well as a 'Share' button. The other input device will be a redesigned Move controller. One of the most interesting things that Kotaku pulls out of the document is that users will be able to activate "multi-user simultaneous logins" allowing them to access a different account with multiple control pads. For example, users could play a local multiplayer game with four different controllers and four different accounts on one console, allowing each player to unlock the trophies for that game.

quote:The Xbox 720, according to the specs, will be released with a powerful eight-core CPU measuring 1.6GHz. This indicates that the device will be able to handle impressive multitasking capabilities, and allow users to zip through big gaming titles. However, others have reported that the Sony PlayStation 4 could wipe the floor with the proposed specs of the Xbox 720. Sony is rumored to be planning an AMD A10 APU quad-core unit that would produce more power than the Xbox, and will offer 1.84 teraflops. In comparison the Xbox has been rumored to offer just 1.23 teraflops.

quote: and you guys are lapping it up like pavlov's dogs
quote:1.84 teraflops
quote:A teraflop is one trillion floating point operations per second. This measure of compute capacity describes how many multiplications can be performed within one second. Computer vendors and computer resource providers typically list the computing performance of their systems in terms of the number of gigaflops (billion floating point operations per second) or teraflops achieved on standard benchmark programs, such as the LINPACK DP, TPP, and HPC benchmarks, and the SPEC integer and floating point benchmarks. The theoretical peak computing capacity of a system is obtained by multiplying the number of processors by the clock speed of the processor by the number of floating point operations per second that processor type is capable of performing. "TeraFLOPS" is also sometimes used to indicate one trillion floating point operations per second.

The SUNY Plattsburgh Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is dedicated to the safety and well being of our students, employees and visitors, as well as protecting property. Our mission is to assist the campus in mitigating for, preparing for, responding to and recovering from the effects of all hazards (natural, technological and/or man-made). Several departments on campus and external response organizations assist with our mission by participating in trainings, exercises/drills, the planning process and support during actual events.
In addition, SUNY Plattsburgh OEM has created an Emergency Management Advisory Committee (EMAC) to provide guidance with creating policies, emergency planning and assisting during campus incidents. The EMAC is comprised of representatives in the campus community from each division, including a student representative, who will be appointed by the Student Association. To report an emergency dial 9-1-1 or dial x2022 (518-564-2022) to reach University Police.
If you see something suspicious taking place on campus, report that behavior or activity to University Police, or in the case of emergency call 9-1-1. Factors such as race, ethnicity, national origin, or religious affiliation alone are not suspicious. You should report only suspicious behavior and situations (e.g., an unattended backpack in a public place or someone trying to break into a restricted area) rather than beliefs, thoughts, ideas, expressions, associations, or speech unrelated to terrorism or other criminal activity.
In view of the Ebola hemorrhagic fever outbreak in West Africa, SUNY Plattsburgh is implementing precautions to address concerns of the campus community as they pertain to the college's international students and any faculty, staff and other students who have traveled to the affected areas.

Botulism is a rare but serious illness caused by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. The bacteria may enter the body through wounds, or by eating it as they may live in improperly canned or preserved food.
Clostridium botulinum is found in soil and untreated water throughout the world. It produces spores that survive in improperly preserved or canned food, where they produce toxin. When eaten, even tiny amounts of this toxin can lead to severe poisoning.
The foods most commonly contaminated are home-canned vegetables, cured pork and ham, smoked or raw fish, and honey or corn syrup. Botulism may also occur if the bacteria enter open wounds and produce toxins there.
Infant botulism occurs when a baby eats spores and the bacteria grow in the baby's gastrointestinal tract. The most common cause of infant botulism is eating honey or corn syrup.
Clostridium botulinum can be found normally in the stool of some infants.
About 110 cases of botulism occur in the U.S. per year. Most of the cases are in infants.
Symptoms usually appear 8 - 36 hours after you eat contaminated food. There is NO fever with this infection.
In adults, symptoms may include:
Symptoms in infants may include:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. There may be signs of:
Blood tests can be done to identify the toxin. A stool culture may also be ordered. Lab tests can be done on the suspected food to confirm botulism.
You will need medicine to fight the toxin produced by the bacteria, called botulinus antitoxin.
You will have to stay in the hospital if you have breathing trouble. A tube may be inserted through the nose or mouth into the windpipe to provide an airway for oxygen. You may need a breathing machine.
Patients who have trouble swallowing may be given fluids through a vein (by IV). A feeding tube may be inserted.
Health care providers must tell state health authorities or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about patients with botulism, so that the contaminated food can be removed from stores.
Some people are given antibiotics, but they may not always help.
Prompt treatment significantly reduces the risk of death.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you suspect botulism.
NEVER give honey or corn syrup to infants younger than 1 year old -- not even just a little taste on a pacifier.
Prevent infant botulism by breastfeeding only, if possible.
Always throw away bulging cans or foul-smelling preserved foods. Sterilizing home-canned foods by pressure cooking them at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes may reduce the risk for botulism.
Keep foil-wrapped baked potatoes hot or in the refrigerator, not at room temperature.

The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.
Problems for specific Chevrolet S10 years:
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Most reported 2004 Chevrolet S10 problems
Check Engine Light Due to Gas Cap Issue
Illumination of the Check Engine Light may be the result of a loose or worn gas cap.
CD Player in Radio May Fail
The CD player in the radio may fail. Our technicians tell us that the radio will need to be removed and sent out to a radio repair shop to correct this condition.
Erratic Fuel Gauge Operation
The fuel level sensor in the fuel tank may fail causing erratic fuel gauge operation. Our technicians tell us that on high mileage vehicles you may wish to replace the complete fuel pump module assembly if this condition occurs.
Transmission Leak From Output Shaft Seal
A fluid leak may develop from the transmission output shaft seal. This leak may cause the transmission mount to become oil soaked and require replacement of the mount along with the leak repair.
Driveability Problems Due to Internal Distributor Fault
The distributor may develop internal faults. This can cause a rough running engine or stalling condition, the Check Engine Light may or may not illuminate. Our technicians tell us that the distributor should be overhauled or replaced to correct this concern.

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene
Every day 4,000 children die from illnesses like diarrhea, dysentery, and cholera caused by dirty water and unhygienic living conditions. We can't fight malnutrition without tackling the diseases that contribute to it. As part of our integrated approach to hunger, we're getting safe water, sanitation, and hygiene services to communities in need all over the world.
What We Do
Provide Access to Safe Water
During emergencies, we truck water into affected areas and installs storage tanks and reservoirs. Where water is scarce or unsafe, we drill and decontaminate wells, install hand-pumps, protect natural springs, tap aquifers, rehabilitate damaged infrastructure, and pipe water into hard-to-reach villages and health centers.
Promote Sanitation & Hygiene
To prevent outbreaks of disease during a crisis, our teams distribute hygiene kits and build latrines and hand-washing stations. In communities at risk, we construct water filters made from basic materials and teach healthy practices like hand-washing, cooking with clean utensils, and drawing water from protected sources.
Ensure Lasting Change
Our commitment to community participation ensures long-term capacity: we train community-based water committees to manage their water and sanitation infrastructure themselves, and organize village health teams to model good sanitation and hygiene practices for their communities long after we leave an area.
Support our clean water efforts around the world.
Water Facts
- 4,000 children under the age of five die every day from preventable water-related diseases.
- One in eight people lacks access to enough clean water to meet their basic needs.
- More than half of the hospital beds in developing countries are taken by people suffering from diarrheal diseases.
- Half of girls who stop attending primary school in Africa do so because of the lack of safe and private toilets.

Help us reach our 2014 lifesaving goals by making a tax-deductible gift. We are a top rated nonprofit, consistently ranked in the top 2% for efficiency.
