Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Chicago Cubs - 5/3/16 MLB Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Chicago Cubs (18-6) at Pittsburgh Pirates (15-11)
MLB Baseball: Tuesday, May 3, 2016 at 7:05 pm (PNC Park)
J Arrieta (5-0) (1.00) vs. J Niese (3-0) (5.08)
The Line: Pittsburgh Pirates +175 / Chicago Cubs -185 --- Over/Under: 6.5 See the Latest Odds
TV: ROOT-Pittsburgh, WGN
The Pittsburgh Pirates look to slowdown the Chicago Cubs in Tuesday's battle at PNC Park.
The Chicago Cubs have yet to hit a slow patch and didn't in the series opener at Pittsburgh with solid pitching and hitting being a great combination in a 7-2 victory on Monday. Cubs starter Jason Hammel allowed both runs on five hits over five frames with four relievers putting up zeros. The Cubbies pounded out eleven hits and walked five times with David Ross and Ben Zobrist driving in a pair of runs apiece while Anthony Rizzo scored twice and drove in a run. The Chicago Cubs send unbeaten Jake Arrieta to the bump to face the rival Pirates Tuesday. Arrieta improved to 5-0 in a7-2 win versus Milwaukee where he gave up a run on three hits and four BB in five frames.
USA TODAY Sports
The Pittsburgh Pirates will be looking to even their series against the visiting Cubs on Tuesday but they will need better performances on the mound and at the plate. Pirates starter Gerrit Cole struggled early with six runs allowed on six hits and four base on balls through 4.2 innings to absorb the loss. The Buccos attack was held to seven hits and a trio of base on balls with Andrew McCutchen providing all the offense with a two run homer that plated Jordy Mercer who went 3-3. Jon Niese looks to work some kinks out when the Pittsburgh Pirates hand him the ball for Tuesday's outing versus the Cubs. Niese has been hit hard the past two times out with nine runs allowed on 20 hits and four walks in 10.1 innings.
The over is 6-1-2 in the Cubs last 9 overall and is 6-1-2 in their last 9 on grass while Chicago are 36-15 in their last 51 overall. The over is 14-5 in Pittsburgh's last 19 overall and is 14-5 in their last 19 on grass while the Pirates are 51-24 in their last 75 home games. Arrieta might not be the best pitcher in the game but I think he is…

I want to replace the mapping system in the dash and install instead a telephone system similar to my 2014 CR-V
everything is working fine just the maintence minder went out and have to get cluster replaced, I cant affort alternator to, it starts fine
And how can I get info on changing it myself
This happens consistently and now my a/c is not blowing cold . Fan works.
if I turn the air conditioner off, and let it sit for a minute and then turn the air on it works sometimes but not always
So the other day i rear ended a car and ended up scrathing up the area right under the front left light and dented the part closest to the bottom front of the car. Is there anyway you can tell me how much it will cost to fix all of it
lost power steering briefly, saw battery light come on then off. Help!
My ridgeline has 134,000 and I noticed a ticking sound coming from the passenger side on the motor I've looked into this ticking and I have found people saying it could be somthing with the timing belt what should I go after and replace first? And what would exactly be causing this ticking noise because it's really annoying and makes me worry
Tire wear looks normal so I rotated front to back but still have the shake. Its not to bad yet, I think it could be a CV joint as the rotors and pads look good and no shake when stopping. Anyone had this experience?
Ridgeline has 160,000 kms on it. This noise is very similar to the noise made when you drive over the "rumble strip" on the side of the highway. This rumble comes and goes. Typically only happens on highway, driving under load. Noise stops when I ease up on the gas pedal. My feeling is noise is coming from the rear end.
Temp gauge still not moving and auto temp fluctuates on and off
Had an Accord wagon that we had this 100,000 mile maintenance done and it never ran the same after that. It was perfect before and crappy after. Now we have a Ridgeline that just passed 100,000 miles and I'm afraid to have it done. It runs great and I don't want to mess it up. Anyone else have this problem?

Autism symptoms are usually apparent by 18 to 36 months of age, and subtle warning signs may be evident much earlier—even as early as infancy. Because early intervention makes a huge difference in minimizing the symptoms and negative impact of autism, the earlier autism is identified the better. As a parent, you're much more likely to catch the early signs and symptoms of autism if you track your child's development, watching out for developmental delays and red flags.
Developmental delays as a sign of autism
As children grow, they go through a process where fundamental skills, or developmental milestones, are learned and mastered. These milestones include: physical skills (such as sitting up, crawling, and walking), social skills (such as smiling, playing, and imitating others), and communication skills (such as gesturing and talking). Since the pace of growth varies from child to child, there are flexible windows of time where certain developmental milestones should be reached. However, if your child has not reached milestones at the expected age, this indicates a developmental delay.
Autism involves a multitude of developmental delays, so keeping a close eye on when—or if—your child is hitting all the key social, emotional, and cognitive milestones is an effective way to spot the problem early on. While developmental delays don't automatically point to autism, they do indicate a heightened risk. Furthermore, whether the delay is caused by autism or some other factor, developmentally delayed kids are unlikely to simply "grow out" of the problem. In order to develop skills in an area of delay, your child needs extra help and targeted treatment.
The following delays warrant an immediate evaluation by your child's pediatrician:
- By 6 months: No big smiles or other warm, joyful expressions.
- By 9 months: No back-and-forth sharing of sounds, smiles, or other facial expressions.
- By 12 months: No babbling or "baby talk."
- By 12 months: No back-and-forth gestures, such as pointing, showing, reaching, or waving.
- By 16 months: No spoken words.
- By 24 months: No meaningful two-word phrases that don't involve imitating or repeating.
- At any age: Any loss of speech, babbling, or social skills.
Source: First Signs
Regression of any kind should be taken seriously. According to Catherine Lord, the director of the University of Michigan Autism and Communication Disorders Center, about 25% of autistic kids appear normal as babies and then regress at some point between 12 and 24 months. For example, a child who was communicating with words such as "mommy" or "up" may stop using language entirely, or a child may stop playing social games he or she used to enjoy such as peek-a-boo, patty cake, or waving "bye-bye."
Detecting autism in babies
Most children are diagnosed with autism around the age of three. However, when autism is detected even earlier, treatment can take full advantage of the young brain's remarkable plasticity. If detected by 12 months of age or even earlier, intensive treatment may even be able to rewire the brain and reverse the symptoms.
However, the earliest signs of autism are easy to miss because they involve the absence of normal behaviors—not the presence of abnormal ones. For example, autistic babies typically don't follow moving objects with their eyes, reach out to grasp toys, or make gestures to attract attention. In some cases, the earliest symptoms of autism are even misinterpreted as signs of a "good baby," since the infant is quiet and doesn't make demands. But while such a baby may be easy to deal with, these are red flags of a very serious problem, not positive qualities.
Babies—like all humans—are social creatures. By the time they are 2 to 3 months old, babies who are developing normally will make sounds to get their parents attention, smile at the sound of a familiar voice, play with other people, and imitate certain movements and facial expressions. If your baby isn't responding to you, despite your attempts to interact and show affection, it is cause for concern.
Other early signs of autism:
- The baby doesn't make eye contact.
- The baby doesn't respond to his or her name.
- The baby doesn't follow objects visually.
- The baby doesn't smile when smiled at.
- The baby doesn't imitate other people.
- The baby doesn't point or wave goodbye.
- The baby doesn't babble or make noises.
According to Harvard Medical School, babies who are passive and inactive at 6 months, then extremely irritable or joyless at 12 months, are also at a higher risk of developing autism.
The First Sign of Autism
A study published in the April 2007 issue of Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine found that the failure to turn or look in response to hearing one's name may be one of the earliest signs of autism.
Autism red flags in children of all ages
As children get older, the red flags for autism increase and become more diverse. There are many warning signs and symptoms, but they typically revolve around verbal and non-verbal communication difficulties, impaired social skills, and repetitive behaviors.
Verbal warning signs and symptoms of autism:
- Slow to develop language skills.
- Repeats or echoes certain words or phrases.
- Has trouble expressing needs.
- Used to say a few words or babble, but doesn't anymore.
Non-verbal warning signs and symptoms of autism:
- Avoids eye contact.
- Doesn't play "pretend" games.
- Reacts unusually to sights, smells, textures, and sounds.
- Doesn't seem to hear when others talk to him or her.
Social warning signs and symptoms of autism:
- Appears uninterested in other people.
- Has trouble understanding or talking about feelings.
- Doesn't know how to talk to or play with others.
- Prefers not to be held or cuddled.
Repetitive behavior warning signs and symptoms of autism:
- Has difficulty adapting to changes in routine.
- Shows unusual attachments to toys or other objects.
- Obsessively lines things up or arranges them in a certain order
- Repeats the same actions or movements over and over again.

Carol N. Dixon has worked as a reading clinician, university professor and administrator, and consultant to schools and universities around the country and abroad. In her role as a university faculty member, she directed a reading clinic and an MA in Reading/Reading Specialist Credential Program for 20 years. She has conducted numerous workshops and demonstration lessons for classroom teachers and has made numerous presentations at scholarly conferences in the United States and internationally. She has written or co-authored books and journal articles as resources for teachers, as well as over 50 research-based articles for professional publications. In her current work, she focuses on classroom research that investigates the teaching of reading and writing as thinking processes, particularly to English Language Learners.
Denise Nessel is coauthor of the Heinemann title The Comprehension Experience. Her motivation for writing it came from the beliefs she has long held about what makes reading instruction most effective: a firm understanding of the comprehension process and an ability to apply that understanding in ways that give both students and teachers a real sense of accomplishment. In collaborating with educators across the country to improve K - 12 instructional practices, Denise aims to bring more zest and depth to literacy instruction and content-area teaching, She finds that students everywhere respond eagerly to the right kinds of learning experiences. Skillfully crafting such experiences is her special interest. Denise began her career as a secondary English teacher. When she discovered that a number of her students read very poorly and even the high achievers did not always comprehend what they read, she knew she had much to learn. At Bowling Green State University, she focused on reading at the secondary level and put what she learned to good use as a teacher and reading specialist. Later, at the University of Delaware, she focused on K - 12 reading and refined her understanding of the reading process while teaching in that university's reading clinic and mentoring in nearby classrooms. During her years at Delaware, Denise was inspired by Russell Stauffer, whose clinical and classroom teaching was memorable and whose mentorship of his consulting team was invaluable. Denise next worked as a university professor and as a K - 12 curriculum supervisor. In 1980, she relocated to California and became a full time consultant and mentor, helping teachers at all grade levels in the US and abroad learn to teach with greater knowledge, skill, and sensitivity. During this time, she also codirected a storytelling/literacy project. Since 1989, she has helped to shape and deliver the professional development services offered by the National Urban Alliance for Effective Education (NUA), a non-profit dedicated to helping all students achieve at the highest levels. Denise has also served as a consultant to education publishers, worked as a designer of educational software, and written several books on instruction. Denise's diverse experiences have given her a broad perspective on learning and learners. She's as comfortable with a first grade reading group as she is in a high school classroom or a teacher workshop. In each situation, she aims to engage learners intellectually while making their learning relevant, meaningful, and enjoyable. When envisioning her ideal school, Denise thinks of a place where students and teachers are actively involved every day in reading, thinking, writing, discussing, and using what they learn to make their lives more interesting and satisfying. Although she is thrilled with the many excellent materials and technological tools available today, she considers the quality of teaching the most important element of any instructional program. At the core of her ideal school are knowledgeable teachers who enjoy interacting with their students, who love learning, and who are skillful practitioners.

China's official Xinhua News Agency says DNA tests on victims from a fire at a high-rise apartment building in Shanghai have confirmed 26 more dead, raising the number of fatalities to 79.
The brief dispatch Wednesday did not give any details.
The fire Monday gutted a 28-story building in downtown Shanghai, leaving dozens of people unaccounted for until the latest report. Local newspaper reports had listed at least 36 people as missing.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
SHANGHAI (AP) - China ordered tighter fire prevention measures Wednesday following a blaze that gutted a high-rise apartment building in China's business capital, killing at least 53 people, with dozens believed still missing.
Relatives were still searching for their loved ones, while authorities have not given any figures for the number of missing from the fire in a downtown neighborhood Monday afternoon. Shanghai's fire chief, Chen Fei, said firefighters searched the 28-story building thoroughly after the fire was put out and could not have missed anyone.
"Sleepless night for victims, every minute caught between hope and despair," said a headline in Wednesday's edition of the local newspaper Oriental Morning Post.
As might be expected of a weekday afternoon, many of those in the building at the time of the fire were retirees.
The Post ran pictures showing a list of 36 people still being sought after the fire, though there was no official confirmation of the information.
Police detained four unlicensed welders who were working on "energy-saving" renovations when sparks from their welding apparently spread to bamboo scaffolding and nylon nets shrouding the building. The city's deputy police chief, Cheng Jiulong, said eight people had been detained, but did not identify them.
Chen, the fire chief, sought to deflect public outrage over the government's handling of the disaster, saying firefighters had done the best that could be expected given the height of the building and amount of flammable materials that caught fire.
"Fighting fires in high-rise residential buildings is different than for other buildings," he said. "Residential high-rises have more flammable materials and more sources for causing fires. They have metal security doors, so rescuing people can be very difficult."
The fire has heightened concern over the ability to cope with such disasters in this city of 20-plus million people, many of them living in its 15,000 high rise buildings.
In a notice posted on its website, the Cabinet ordered authorities to improve fire safety and prevention, especially in the winter when widespread use of space heaters is an added risk. It named construction sites and high-rise buildings as areas needing extra attention.
Shanghai recently hosted the World Expo and is still in the midst of a construction frenzy that has brought new subway lines, highways and airport upgrades. The city is one of China's best-run, but its public services still lag far behind its often ultramodern infrastructure.
Unsafe building work remains a chronic problem in China. Last year, a nearly finished 13-story apartment building in Shanghai collapsed, killing one worker. Investigations showed that excavated dirt piled next to the building may have caused the collapse.
Associated Press researcher Ji Chen in Shanghai contributed to this report.

'The films I make are about my life and the people around me. I want to awaken the fearless self. A Skinny Man Attacked Daddy takes a look at the family and the place where I grew up. So much of what is 'me' comes from attitudes, expectations, fears, habits, beliefs that I inherited from my parents (and they in turn from theirs). The video is about separation form the family. My work is to try to know myself - the only way to change inherited patterns.' - Vivienne Dick

This "Syrian refugee" was actually from Afghanistan.
The insurgent also pretended to be an unaccompanied minor. He was left alone at a home that welcomed "refugees."
When the home staff returned, they found the girl screaming and crying as she was being raped.
The Muslim thug was initially arrested as a minor. Insurgents not only pretend to be refugees, but they also pretend to be unaccompanied minors because they receive special treatment.
Muslims consider women property.
There was no reported outrage from pseudo-feminist groups. Feminism and Islam share the same objective: The destruction of Western culture.

Hip Hop can be taken for granted in 2008. That was probably true in 1998 as well. However, for those outside of the over-saturation of artists, mixtapes, Myspaces and all the concentrated elements of the culture, Hip Hop as we knew it, still lives.
On the West African coast, Ghana is one of those places. There, a young Blitz The Ambassador eagerly awaited the arrival of Public Enemy. Not the "Fight The Power" P.E. or even "Shut 'Em Down" P.E., but the mid '90s evolution of the group, when touring started to overwhelm radio singles. The experience meant everything, and as Blitz grew, he chased the band and Hip Hop, opting to move to the United States above Europe to live.
In his time in the States, balanced between a college education in Ohio and now living in Brooklyn, Blitz has met his dreams head-on. Opening shows for Akon and Snoop Dogg – as well as Rakim and Chuck D, Blitz The Ambassador is bridging the gap between the Hip Hop of then and now – and always, night to night and show to show.
With his debut album Suicide Stereotype being a two-and-a-half-year creation, Blitz hasn't sprinted for success, he's earning his stripes slowly. Working towards "Bono status," the emcee/producer and graphic designer has bold views on the culture he's chased the last 15 years. To HipHopDX, he explains his love of ambient music, his hit "Hands of Time," and what a label needs to do to get him to raise an eyebrow and even consider "putting rims on the whoopty."
HipHopDX: How old were you when you left Ghana?
Blitz The Ambassador: I left Ghana when I was 17. I

HANCOCK COUNTY — Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) has expressed his readiness to work with his Senate colleagues and NASA officials to advance the new Space Launch System and the heavy-lift rocket engine tests the program will require.
At a hearing this week to review the FY2013 budget request for NASA, Cochran encouraged NASA administrator Charles Bolden to provide Congress with timely updates on funding requirements to move the initiative forward.
"We are really proud that Mississippi has had a very conspicuous role to play in our nation's space flight efforts, specifically being home to the testing to support the missions of NASA up to this point. I expect that the Stennis Space Center will play a big role in NASA's future," Cochran said. "I am hopeful that we will have enough advanced notice and advice on NASA's plans so that we can be supportive and helpful."
Last September, NASA announced that it was opting to develop an evolvable Space Launch System that would involve testing for new heavy-lift rockets needed for future manned space exploration.
In response to Cochran, Bolden said the Stennis Space Center would play "a key role in the future of NASA, whether it is with NASA engine testing and development or commercial testing and development."
Bolden told Cochran that NASA is close to completing a report required by Congress that details the agency's plans to reuse and rehabilitate NASA-owned systems-level rocket test facilities, such as the B-2 test stand at Stennis Space Center. The congressional directive also expects the report to include more detailed plans for systems-level testing of the Space Launch System, an evaluation of potential commercial uses and a description of resources needed.
Bolden said the report "will give us definitive answers" on the resources and funding needed to utilize and rehabilitate NASA rocket test facilities.
At a hearing in April 2011 on future NASA budgets, Cochran received assurances from Bolden that NASA would continue investments at Stennis to complete the A-3 test stand to facilitate rocket engine tests for exploration beyond Low Earth Orbit as well as other test stand infrastructure, such as the B-2 stand, for potential commercial and other engine trials. In addition, Cochran toured the A-3 and B-2 facilities at Stennis with NASA deputy administrator Lori Garver in August of last year.

gave lava a leap of faith and bought this mobile without any prior reviews.Til now it seems a good decisionnnProcesser: quite good. runs temple run, deadly moto racing and 720p videos quite flawlessly. (did not check with 1080p and high end games)..for normal use processer excels.nnsound: handset speaker is good. hedset sound sucks however very good output with my philips headset.(It seems it supports nokia hedset also and the hedset button can be used for play/pause and next. But call sound is lower) n call voice clarity of handset is not so good as compared to nokia. nncamera: main camera is worst i have ever seen. flash is no better than candle light. front camera no good too.nnram: around 100 mb is available for users so performance is good for normal use. 512 mb ram is required if you want to run heavy apps.temple run and similar apps runs smoothly. nninternal memory : 165mb, 140 mb is available. but after downloading few games and updating few aps on SD card, it is now 100 mb as some part is always downloaded in internal memory. nnBuild quality: Update: Build quality not good. My set has manufacturing defects and have asked flipkart for replacement. Light of home and back button doesnt work. Touch Screen is so erratic that with two hand u cant type any thing. however using one hand only, u can type(sometimes problem in that also). My set's screen is so sensitive that even putting ur finger over the screen can lead to various commands. without even touching it. nnsilicon pouch given in the box is very good.screen guard is also provided in the box.nndisplay: crisp and clear.nnBattery: as you can guess it is not so good. lasted 10-12 hrs with 45 min call, internet browsing - 3-3.5 hrs, downloading and playing few games(around 1-2 hrs). 2g data was on for the whole period. (using single sim only)nnnet: 2g browsing speed is very good on opera mini. havent tried 3g. wifi is good.hotspot and usb thethering are working fine. nnhandset config is nice but issues are with its proper functioning. I dont think even the replaced model will work for a decent period. I will update after using replaced model.
Pros:nnSilk smooth touchnLatest andriod versionn1.2 duelcore processorn3gnAwesome net speednSuper hotspot wifinPrice rangenncons:nCamera 1.3MPnBattery (its common in all andriod devices)nnFinal verdict:nnThose who are starting with the adriod devices for the 1st time... this is the best phone for rough and tough use...nnBest part: Internet speed.n4.5/5nnNote: if you keep searching and reading reviews on mobiles you will not get better phone at this price range.. simpley go for it.
I bought the Lava Iris 356 as a replacement for my aging Nokia 5800. Since my budget was just 4000 rupees, I was expecting to get a plain and simple feature phone with the most basic of features. But what I got was a fully featured Smartphone with the newest version of Android to boot. There's what I think about the various features of the phone.nnDesign and build – 4/5nnThe phone is quite petite and easily slips into the pocket without adding an awkward bulge in my pants. The 3.5 inch screen is small enough to be use by one hand easily. The volume rocker is placed on the right of the device with the power button on top. This layout further helps with the one handed ergonomics of the phone. The rear of the phone is quite simple and plain. Near the bottom left corner is the speaker grill with the Lava logo just above it. The Android logo is prominently displayed in the centre and the top of the phone is the camera module that bulges out just a little bit. nnThe build quality is also quite good for a phone in this price bracket. The body may be made of plastic, but the phone things comes together to give the phone a very solid feel. While I haven't dropped the phone yet, it does seem that it will be able to shrug off the daily bumps and scrapes easily.nnHardware and performance – 5/5nnThe Lava Iris 356 may be a budget device but its power packed when it comes to its hardware. The phone comes with a 1.2 GHz dual core processor and 256 MB of RAM that is more than capable of powering the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS. The phone has just 150 MB of internal memory, but that's ok since it has an expandable memory card slot that allows for an expansion of up to 32 GB. The phone also has a 1.3 mp primary camera, which isn't much but the fact that you also get a LED flash is a big deal at this price range, Another 'big deal' is the front facing VGA camera that you won't find on many models at this budget. The phone also comes with 3G capabilities, Wi-Fi, Dual SIM and a 1500mAh battery as well as many other goodies.nnCamera – 3.5/5nnThe 1.3 MP fixed focus camera performs pretty decently and to can't expect too much from it. But the addition of the flash is a real game changer. The fact that you can still take photos when the sun goes down is quite nice. In bright sunlight the camera takes admirable pictures that you can proudly show off, however, it is advisable to hold the phone quite steadily since the phone lacks auto focus abilities. nThe front facing camera is VGA camera that takes average photographs if you love taking photos of yourself and works great for video chatting. nnBattery – 3/5nnThe Lava iris 356 has a 1500 mAh battery that can last about a day with moderate usage and this time goes down if you use the phone for extensive gaming or internet surfing. It is advisable to carry a charger or a battery just in case the battery level gets too low.nnVerdict – 4/5nnAs a phone, the Lava Iris 356 may not be the ideal for anyone, but it's the combination of hardware, software and the price that make this phone one of the best phones in this category.
Whenever I come across this phone, I can never think anything good about it. With a total internal storage of 93.74 MB, 82.72 MB is acquired by the pre-installed apps. So what do you do with the remaining 40.96 MB? Practically, NOTHING.nnMy mother bought this phone, since she needed some basic features like calling, camera, and 1 or 2 games to kill time( which won't normally take much of memory). But the very first week of using this phone was a bad experience. The voice was not clear, the call ended the moment it accidentally got in touch with the face while talking, the display is very poor, the camera is so poor that it's better to not have a camera at all. nnI tried uninstalling some apps like YouTube. Still, it wouldn't get uninstalled. I tried to download Whatsapp. But it doesn't even have that much space to install that! nnOverall, it has been a very disappointing experience. It is better to invest a little more and buy from a well-known brand like Samsung.
I was under peer pressure to buy a smartphone and was losing out of the advantage that a smartphone has added to our lives so I decided to finally buy one. After days and days of research (online research, checked out phones at stores and asked people around) I finally concluded this is the best smartphone available in it's price segment and I felt vindicated after I bought the phone! Some of my friends who bought above 5k phones don't have some features that this phone has so I would strongly recommend that you go for this if you have a tight budget. A point I should highlight is that I did not install any games and use the phone only with social apps, browsing and for calling, texting and I am really satisfied with the experience. Got a screen guard, headphone and phone case as well, the phone has front & rear camera, Dual-Sim support, android jelly bean, looks good too, what more can you ask form a 4k mobile! BTW, 3G is supported and battery life is good too,nnThe only pain (real/major pain) is the low phone memory and those who will install games may find a problem because of the 256MB RAM.nnNonetheless, it is definitely the phone of the decade for under 5k mobile segment, have become a fan of LAVA mobile brand!

Inflation to remain within 3 to 6% objective range
by August 25, 2014 5:37 pm0
This is in the context of moderate economic expansion as well as the modest increase in government spending and personal incomes.
"In line with the forward-looking policy framework, the bank's monetary policy response takes into account the likely impact of economic activity and associated demand on future price developments," it said.
"In evaluating the monetary policy stance, the bank also considers developments in real interest rates and exchange rates that largely determine monetary conditions in the economy, which ultimately have an impact on domestic demand."
It stated that, looking ahead, the real exchange rate and real interest rate gaps suggest that real monetary conditions will be relatively tight in the medium term.
(READ MORE: Botswana works to diversify economy)
"The current state of the economy and the projected GDP performance, as well as the positive inflation outlook, suggest that maintaining the existing monetary policy stance is consistent with attainment of the three to six per cent inflation objective in the medium term," the bank said.
"The current policy takes an appropriate balance between the need for monetary policy to provide some support for domestic economic activity in an environment where the expansionary impact of fiscal policy is limited by restrained government spending."
Policy would also need to take into account the need to maintain financial stability and the need for positive real interest rates.
"The bank will continue to ensure that absorption of excess liquidity in the banking system through Bank of Botswana Certificates (BoBCs) does not undermine the need to effectively deploy financial resources for productive economic activity," it said.
"Due to the projected stable and modest inflation differential between Botswana's inflation objective and the average inflation of trading partner countries, the 0.16 per cent downward crawl of the NEER will be maintained for the remaining period of 2014."
The bank added that an accommodative monetary policy stance would be consistent with the achievement of the inflation objective in the medium term and that it remains appropriate for supporting a stronger economic expansion.
(READ MORE: Botswana introduces Medium-Term Expenditure Framework)
"Looking ahead, it is anticipated that external price pressures on domestic inflation will be benign, given the projected moderate expansion in world economic activity, stable commodity prices and the dampening impact of capacity underutilisation in major economies," said the bank.
"The bank remains committed to monitoring economic and financial developments with a view to responding appropriately to ensure price stability and financial stability, without undermining sustainable economic growth."

Uniform to Work Day
12:00am 22nd June 2011
Territorial Army soldiers across the North of England will carry out their day jobs in their military uniforms on Wednesday 22nd June 2011.
'Uniform to Work Day' is an annual event that is designed to make the contribution of the part-time force more visible. Reservists around the UK leave their shirt and ties at home, donning their forces uniform to work instead much to the surprise of their colleagues who often don't realise they serve with the TA.
Last year, thousands of reservists took part in the initiative to show their pride in giving their time for their country. The event is part of the build-up to Armed Forces Day that takes place on Saturday 25 June 2011; when the public are encouraged to show their support to serving personnel and their families, reservists and veterans.
Taking part will be Sergeant Becky Trousdale from the 4th Battalion, The Yorkshire Regiment. Becky, 32, works as an Equine Vet Nurse at Rainbow Equine Hospital, Old Malton. She is looking forward to hanging up her surgical scrubs on Wednesday in favour of military dress:
Sergeant Becky Trousdale says:
"I'm proud of what the TA had achieved, and hope other people are too. Wearing my military uniform to work will raise awareness and hopefully gain appreciation from my colleagues and clients for the tough work the TA does.
"We have come a long way and do a remarkable amount of work as volunteers and its important that's recognized. But its great fun, I love it. Since joining I've gained a lot of skills and knowledge and made friends for life. I would recommend it to anybody and wouldn't want do anything else."

ATHENS, Greece -- Andre Dirrell showed all the power, speed
and smarts that most of his U.S. boxing teammates lacked.
Dirrell roared into the quarterfinals Saturday, needing just two
rounds to beat Algeria's Nabil Kassel 27-7 in their middleweight
Earlier at Peristeri Olympic Boxing Hall, flyweight Ron Siler
was the fifth American to be eliminated, losing 45-22 to
Uzbekistan's Tulashboy Doniyorov.
The United States had lost four of its previous five bouts and
was in danger of a miserable second round until Dirrell, a
well-regarded fighter from Flint, Mich., dominated Kassel.
Fighting his first bout in seven days, Dirrell relentlessly
pounded the Algerian with punches from both hands. Kassel was
staggered by a pair of stiff jabs, and the fight was stopped on the
20-point mercy rule after one last devastating combination from
Dirrell at the second-round bell.
Dirrell usually is a slow starter, waiting a round to launch his
best stuff. Not this time.
"I got in there and did my job,'' he said. "There was nothing
he could do.''
Dirrell's aggressive, proficient style works well in amateur
boxing, where points can be difficult to earn from perplexing
judges. U.S. coach Basheer Abdullah called it "a wonderful
performance,'' praising the middleweight for stopping the team's
"I think his performance showed to the other boxers that he's
ready to compete for that gold medal,'' Abdullah said.
Dirrell will fight for a medal Wednesday against Cuba's Yordani
Despaigne -- and unlike many American fighters up against the
powerful Cuban team, Dirrell has an excellent shot. He beat
Despaigne at an Athens test event earlier in the summer.
"I think my chances are very excellent, as long as I stick to
boxing and stay focused,'' Dirrell said.
Three other U.S. fighters also reached the quarterfinals: light
heavyweight Andre Ward, heavyweight Devin Vargas and super
heavyweight Jason Estrada.
But four American boxers were eliminated in the second round,
all from the lighter weight classes. The smaller Americans still
haven't mastered the speed and timing necessary to excel in the
international fight game.
The troubles continued Saturday when Siler was soundly beaten by
Doniyorov, who showed all the aggression and planning that Siler
lacked. Siler planned to use his jab to take control of the fight,
but the Cincinnati native rarely mounted an attack.
"I could have made the bout a lot easier than it was,'' said
Siler, the U.S. team captain. "I couldn't execute the game plan. I
didn't box.''
Siler, who spent nine months in prison in 2002 for assault,
claimed to be confused by Doniyorov's left-handed attack -- but
remained unimpressed with his opponent's speed and power even after
absorbing a thorough beating.
"I feel (U.S. light flyweight) Rau'Shee Warren has way more
talent than him,'' Siler said. "He got the lead and protected it
the best way he knew how. I'm used to the international scoring.
I've been around, and it's not about landing a hard blow, it's
about landing a smart blow.''
U.S. boxers in the Olympics are undermined by judging standards
that reward precision and technique over creativity. Americans
often leave the ring baffled by the score, but Dirrell clearly
demonstrated the best way to overcome those problems.
"The straight punch is the most effective, and that's the one I
used,'' Dirrell said. "Everything's lovely. The judges seem to be
counting most of the punches.''
Flyweight Siler latest to fall

Finally, the long awaited BnB Show stash
I think I promised y'all these photos about a month ago. Maybe even six weeks. But here they are! Now remember, I hardly had a moment of time to shop while I was at the Bead & Button Show this year, so it's not as extensive a shopping haul as I would have liked. When I submitted my class proposals for next year's show, I told them I can't teach on Friday – my plan is to spend that day at least in the Expo Hall so I can help at the booth and both Mom and I can go browsing.
First off, one of the special things (among many!) about the Meet the Teacher's event each year, is that Swarovski sponsors it, and they provide a special gift for the teachers. This year's swag was the best ever!
|You know it's going to be good when you get a whole box…
|OH MY! New colors and shapes and I'm feeling faint now…
I have to admit, I haven't actually delved into the box yet to use the components because I get so much pleasure out of the whole treasure chest nature of it. I don't want to open it up and find empty spots!
I also managed to do some quick focal bead damage.
And then there was my spree at the always awesome Green Girl Studios booth. I took an overall shot, and then some close ups of my very favorite clasps.
|I couldn't resist that cute Puffer Fish!
|Green Girls Studios Flower & Bee clasp
|Smaller scale flower & leaf clasp
|The key to my heart!
Excuse me…I think I need to go fondle them all again…

This section of my blog used to contain myriad articles on a wide range of topics of interest to nonprofits. In 2016, I decided to cull it, and to focus on two cutting edge (and sometimes controversial) topics: 1) Bitcoin (and Blockchain), and 2) Crowdfunding.
In 2015, I also began "pinning" noteworthy articles on an array of subjects to my new Pinterest board, Nonprofit News Now! You might enjoy checking that site out as well.
Bitcoin (and Blockchain)
Bitcoin: Bitcoin is a form of digital currency, created and held electronically. No one controls it. Bitcoins aren't printed, like dollars or euros – they're produced by people, and increasingly businesses, running computers all around the world, using software that solves mathematical problems.
Blockchain: A blockchain is a public ledger of all Bitcoin transactions that have ever been executed. It is constantly growing as 'completed' blocks are added to it with a new set of recordings. The blocks are added to the blockchain in a linear, chronological order.
I find this series of YouTube videos provided by TechCrunch to be helpful, "Watch all six episodes of the series Trust Disrupted: Bitcoin and the Blockchain"

Garden On Wheelz
Buy Now
Marcy from Santa Clarita Ca writes,
How does one apply for a free garden or aren't they free?
If I bought a garden could my son get one free for his school? He is a teacher. It sounds like something my son's school could use.
We are unsure of what a free garden is or how to apply for one. The Garden on Wheelz is a compact design delivers the maximum results in the smallest of spaces, and is great for small living spaces.

Our Credentials
Qualifications of Our Professionals
Most of our professionals have supervised or developed programs and have advanced from private or public agencies here in Central Kentucky. These are the best providers we can find, and our office pays them well. We guarantee these are the best clinicians you will find and will want to recommend them to your families and friends.
Our office utilizes three main types of professionals currently.
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor or LPCC
A Licensed Psychological Practitioner (LPP) is a mental health professional who has completed at least a minimum of 60 graduate hours of coursework directly related to psychology and that is licensed to practice independently of supervision. An LPP obtains extensive training in psychotherapy with individuals and families and must complete five years (over 10,000 hours) of clinical experience under the guidance and supervision of a psychologist. An LPP is the only master's level mental health worker that is able to provide psychological assessment services as well as providing therapy.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker or LCSW
A simple definition of a licensed clinical social worker is a social worker trained in psychotherapy who helps individuals deal with a variety of mental health and daily living problems to improve overall functioning. A prerequisite for obtaining licensure is a Master's Degree in Social Work or MSW. Education is not the only requirement. While the number may vary from state to state, the LCSW ordinarily must work close to three thousand hours under the guidance and supervision of a professional.
Why so much advanced and specialized training?
Our Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, Licensed Practicing Psychologist, and our Advanced Practice Registered Nurse are skilled in helping with a variety of issues. They must be skilled at screening, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health and substance abuse problems. Our DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders) is almost 1000 pages in length. It takes education, training, experience, and that desire to help to truly understand using patience and a client centered approach to become an expert in your case. All of our professionals must attend yearly training to keep their credentials active. Our practice suggests twice the state standard for our clinicians. Our psychiatric APRN and our therapists treat a wide variety of problems and issues. This requires ongoing skill and professional development. We learn about new mental health issues being discovered and researched regularly.
Licensed Psychological Pracitioner (Master's Level Psychological Practitioner)
A Licensed Psychological Practitioner (LPP) is a mental health professional who has completed at least a minimum of 60 graduate hours of coursework directly related to psychology and that is licensed to practice independently of supervision. An LPP obtains extensive training in psychotherapy with individuals and families and must complete five years (over 10,000 hours) of clinical experience under the guidance and supervision of a psychologist. An LPP is the only master's level mental health worker that is able to provide psychological assessment services as well as providing therapy.
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
A Psychiatric or Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is an Advanced Practiced Registered Nurse or APRN that is qualified by, in our case, a four year BS nursing degree, an RN license in the state of Kentucky, a MS graduate degree in psychiatric nursing, and ongoing collaboration with a psychiatrist. She is licensed to assess, diagnose and treat mental health problems, provide medication, and see patients for medication management needs. In most cases, a psychiatric nurse practitioner acts and works like a psychiatrist in Kentucky, but does not hold an MD or DO degree.

Spring Fever and Your Mental Health in KY
By Paul Dalton
05 Feb, 2016
So you live in Kentucky and only a few more weeks until spring. Everyone should be happy and feel better about that, right? I think most of us get a sense of relief and hope, and that cognitive energy to bust out of the winter season and get moving. For some, the spring can be a rough time. Depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, and relationship issues prevent the spring season from being all that it could be. Following are some reasons that these and other conditions may worsen in the spring, a few resources for you, and some concrete strategies you can implement to help yourself.
So why do people struggle some in the spring when it should be all flowers and sunshine?
1. Sleep
Many times the spring season causes a change in our
circadian rhythm
. The sun wakes you up in the am, it is difficult to keep a routine, and restlessness all contribute to the sleep problem. Our eating in the winter and spring can affect how much we sleep. Caffeine, napping, undereating, and how much we are moving, all contribute to how much we sleep. Spring likely has an effect on melatonin in the body, which aids in sleep.
Strategies that help are EXERCISE and EATING RIGHT! If you keep moving with the help of a tool like a Fitbit or utilize regular exercise of 45 minutes or more 4-5 times per week, you are far less likely to have sleep problems. Exercise helps you sleep. Exercise helps you eat better. Eating and sleeping adequately can reduce your stress and fight any symptoms you may have. Eating healthy keeps your mind, body, and spirit in a positive place. When your body is well, your mind has a great chance of being well too. Sounds too simple? Give it a try!

Eating Right For Spring
Here is a good link to read on symptoms getting worse in the spring:
Spring Makes Symptoms Worse
2. Spring Fever is Real
Our office has existed for over 15 years now. I can tell you that March to May is our busiest time of the year, always. Bipolar disorder, marital infidelity, depression, and anxiety are the main reasons people call us in the spring. The real causes of spring fever include longer days that produce more sunshine and increased energy, changes in hormone production, sleep cycles, nutrition and diet changes, body needs, and possibly, a lack of self care. When we bust of out winter here in Kentucky we sometimes forget that it takes a little time to get our minds and bodies in shape for yard work, spring cleaning, and for many, an increased workload all the way around. Here are some links to let you know spring fever is real.

Wiki Spring Fever
Spring Time Bad for Depression
3. Expectations Are High
Sometimes in spring we have been thinking about all the things we should of, could of, would of done if we had lived in San Diego or Florida during our winter days. The reality of being human can set in when we find out that spring has sprung, it is time to get moving, and we don't have the energy or drive to complete our list of high expectations. Many people are disappointed in themselves and these outcomes. Don't worry about it.
Strategies you can use include setting small attainable goals you can feel good about. Work on your list a little at a time. Make goals that regular people can reach with time built in for you to EXERCISE AND SLEEP. Do a mix of things that you enjoy and are healthy for you while completing your responsibilities. If you deny yourself from pleasure too long, that strategy is likely to backfire. Have a good balanced approach. Use a checklist that has 3 sections. One section is for today. One section is for the week. Reserve one part of the list for things your are really wanting to do. Put a vacation or planned fun activities on a calendar. Look up things you might want to do during that time online. Planning, thinking and dreaming are fine. They keep us hopeful.

4. Allergies
If you live in Kentucky, you know about allergies. Kentucky is known to be one of the worst states when it comes to spring and fall allergies.
Louisville is ranked as one of the worst cities in the entire country to live in due to allergies.
Many times people are unaware they are being affected. Sometimes the symptoms are less obvious than a runny nose, cough, and cold like symptoms. Many times people are lethargic, grouchy, have headaches, and have cognitive deficits. The allergic affect we have in Kentucky can quickly turn into a sinus infection, bronchitis, ear infections, and other maladies that make us mentally and physically drained. That flower below can cause us some issues!
Get to a doctor. Take a seasonal allergy medication. Some are mild, like Allegra (please get your physician's approval before taking allergy medications) and can be taken everyday. Prescription nose sprays may help, but may also have some cognitive or mood altering side effects. Be careful, but don't suffer! Get help from an allergist if you need it.

Scalloped Sweet Potatoes and Apples
Saturday, November 23, 2013
For years, I wouldn't eat sweet potatoes. With all the marshmallow, butter and sugar, they were just "YUCKY!"
Then I found this recipe, and discovered that sweet potatoes could be delicious (and healthful, too!)
four sweet potatoes (about 4 pounds)
four apples (about 1.5 pounds) cooking apples like Granny Smith or Rome Beauty are best
1/2 cup pecan halves or pieces
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into round slices about 1/2 inch thick. Peel the apples, core and cut into rings or slices about 1/2 inch thick.
Layer all ingredients in a casserole or baking pan...potato, apple, sprinkling of nuts, sprinkling of nutmeg, and repeat.
Put on the lid or cover tightly with foil. Place in a preheated oven. Bake at 350 for 45 to 60 minutes.
Makes 12 servings. These reheat easily in a microwave, too.
Now I eat sweet potatoes often! "YUM!"

Looks amazingly simple- I will be trying this!
(I eat a sweet potato almost every day- cook up a batch (covered with a bit of water for an hour in the oven until VERY soft) and keep them in the fridge- I prefer them cold with just a dash of cinnamon-sugar).

I've eaten sweet potatoes all my life, but never with added sugar or marshmallows...it's a texture thing with me. I have served this on many Thanksgiving buffets and people always ask for the recipe. The tart of the apple and the sweet of the potato...heaven on a fork!! Thanks for sharing!
