A Field Guide for the Baltimore Orioles:
1. They recently lost an exhibition game to the Manatee-Sarasota State College of Florida Lancers
This is not a fabrication, not a ruse. It's also not entirely fair to bring up. The Lancers were using Orioles pitchers in the game, so it was almost like an intrasquad game. And it was just an exhibition. Anything can happen in a single baseball game. It's not fair to pluck an isolated exhibition game and make too much of it.
But you giggled, didn't you? You tittered a little bit at thought of the Manatee-Sarasota State College of Florida Lancers holding on for nine innings against the Orioles. It's a legit community-college baseball program, so it's not like the batters were going up to the plate holding the wrong end of the bat, but the idea of the Manatee-Sarasota State College of Florida Lancers beating the Baltimore Orioles is humor that threatens to transform into poetry.
That's where the Orioles are right now. Bad enough for long enough to be a cheap, unfair punchline, regardless of the context.
2. The winning pitcher in that game, an Orioles pitcher, is going to go on the disabled list
Of course he is. The Orioles bought a condo on the disabled list, and that's where a lot of their pitchers rent a room. Tsuyoshi Wada is going to start the season on the DL after being impressive in his final start. Zach Britton is starting the season on the DL. Jake Arrieta was on the 60-day DL last year. Brian Matusz missed a chunk of last year because of an oblique tweak. Young pitchers are volatile, fragile things. But the Orioles' young pitchers have been like caricatures of young pitchers, overblown stereotypes of the pitfalls of relying on young pitching.
Not that Wada counts as a young pitcher (he's 31), but of course he's injured. That's just something that happens to the Orioles, whether because of awful luck or systemic failures that I'm not privy to.
3. The team traded for Dana Eveland and then designated him for assignment
Oh, they didn't trade good prospects for him, but they still traded a 21-year-old and a 24-year-old for him. Dana Eveland is something close to a replacement-level pitcher. The Orioles probably shouldn't be trading anything but cash for him in the first place. But they a) did and b) decided that he wasn't worth the spot on the 40-man roster a couple of months later.
It's a mostly meaningless sequence of events. But you can attribute all sorts of meaning to it if you squint. This was a move made by the new management team. Not the old one. It felt very Orioles.
4. They still get to keep the young pitching around and see if it pans out, you know
I was strangely bullish on the Orioles last year because I'm a fool. But also because I was optimistic about their young pitching. Chris Tillman, Brian Matusz, Jake Arrieta, and Zach Britton were all fine young pitchers with varying degrees of short-term promise and long-term potential. And maybe they still are. Matusz had a season last year that was like something out of a Greek myth. Injuries, warts, diminishing velocity, demotions … it was like he stole the secret of fire from Mt. Olympus. Or at least the secret of the DVR.
But he's back. Or, at least, his velocity is. Matusz needs his velocity and command to succeed -- even more than the typical pitcher. Matusz might have the most potential of the young Orioles pitchers; he also had one of the worst seasons in major-league history last year. This spring, Matusz threw 28 innings, walked four and struck out 27. He didn't allow a home run. Sure, it's still the spring, and those numbers don't mean much. But they couldn't be more encouraging.
Tommy Hunter could still be a valuable back-of-the-rotation starter. Chris Tillman was optioned to start the season, but he is still highly thought of. Wei-Ying Chen isn't exactly a prospect, but he's an interesting talent who had good numbers in Japan. Jake Arrieta is probably the most discouraging Opening Day starter in the land, but he's still loaded with potential, and his strikeout rate took a step in the right direction last year.
Their hopes last year had everything to do with their young pitching. Their hopes for the future still have everything to do with their young pitching.
5. They hit a little bit last year, and could do so again this year
They had a team OPS+ of 100. They scored 708 runs, just under the league average. They hit 191 homers, good for fourth in the A.L. Look at the first five hitters in the projected lineup:
Nolan Reimold - LF
J.J. Hardy - SS
Nick Markakis - RF
Adam Jones - CF
Matt Wieters - C
Not a stinker among them. All of them young(ish). Some of them (all of them, with the possible exception of Reimold?) worth building around. The bottom part of the lineup contains a DH who should play third base, and a third baseman who should DH, but both Mark Reynolds and Wilson Betemit have some offensive value. Chris Davis is like Dave Kingman without all that contact, but his minor-league numbers will always offer hope that he'll be something more.
This isn't a situation like the Pirates or Astros, where the team is busy figuring out which permutation of players will help them improve the fortunes of the franchise. The Orioles have a decent idea. They're just waiting for those young pitchers. Aaaaany day now.
6. This is the longest article on the Orioles that you'll ever read
Call it an educated guess.
7. The Orioles will finish fifth in the American League East
Only because they can't finish sixth. But that's not entirely fair. The image of the Orioles as a completely floundering franchise -- the kind that would lose a game to the Manatee-Sarasota State College of Florida Lancers, for example -- is a bit too harsh. They're a rotation away from being a competent team. Just like my Corolla is a set of hoverjets away from being a hovercar. But the Orioles did a smart thing: they signed two low-risk, low-cost options in Wada and Chen to test out this year. They can give them a test drive at the same time they continue to sift through their young pitching.
There have been much, much worse Orioles teams of recent vintage. There have been hopeless Orioles teams, where it looked like the way out of last place was some sort of International League relegation. This is not one of those teams. When it comes to Orioles history, this is the first-place team of last-place teams.
That's of little consolation right now, but it could be worse.
Coulda Shoulda Woulda (Move they didn't make)
Tough to complain too much about a team that was mostly set around the diamond not making a big move just for the sake of making a big, meaningless move. If there's one nitpick, it's that they traded Jeremy Guthrie for a pitcher who has about a one-percent chance of being around for the next good Orioles team. Maybe they could have kept Guthrie or saved that spot for someone who has a five-percent chance?
Wild Card
Nick Markakis was perfectly acceptable last year. But he can be much, much better. He's the player the Orioles locked up as their beacon of hope for the future. He's been perfectly acceptable. Seems like he can break out one of these years or just disappear into a Ben Grieve-scented mist.
Vague Predicitions
They'll finish 13th or 14th in ERA again, but they'll have a much better idea of which pitchers should be in the rotation for the future. There will be at least one or two positive developments in the rotation, but it'll still be a rough group of pitchers to watch.

James now sport ambassador for Grenada
ST GEORGE'S, Grenada (CMC) — World and Olympic 400 metres champion Kirani James has been officially appointed as a sport tourism ambassador for Grenada.
Ambassador James was presented with his documents including a diplomatic passport during a brief ceremony on the Maurice Bishop International Airport (MBIA).
The 20 year old athlete left the island Monday following a weekend of celebrations attended by thousands paying glowing tribute to his historic feat of becoming the first Grenadian and OECS National to win Olympic gold.
"Kirani has always represented us and now we are going to make him a sports ambassador for tourism," said Prime Minister Tillman Thomas as he handed James his official documents.
"We believe that Kirani has done excellent and he has promoted Grenada. We want to wish him all the best as he continues both in his academic and sporting life," Prime Minister Thomas said.
James was showered with gifts during a weekend rally that climaxed a series of activities including a heavily attended round-the-island motorcade, and a red carpet homecoming at the MBIA.
He has received EC$500,000 in Government bonds, EC$100,000 from Republic Bank, EC$10,000 from local hotelier Sir Royston Hopkin, a parcel of land from a Grenadian family, and a quantity of jewelry including a necklace, bracelet, a ring and a watch from Columbian emeralds.
Also, an athletic stadium to be built by China will be named after him, and commemorative stamps will be published in his honour.
"I have always tried to be an ambassador for this country and represent us in the best possible way as I possibly can," said James after receiving his official documents as an Ambassador for Grenada.
"So for the Prime Minister to make this official, I know it's a huge responsibility, but I'm up for the challenge in terms of helping the world know a lot more about our country," he said.
James is resuming his undergraduate studies in Business at the University of Alabama.

Seven fire trucks responded to the scene of a house fire in Cherokee Saturday.
The fire broke out at 1050 Mulberry Lane in Colbert County. A firefighter on the scene said they were calling in tankers from Lauderdale County to assist.
One person was flown to Children's Hospital in unknown condition. Two people were taken to area hospitals.
Crews battled the fire for nearly four hours before they could enter and sweep the home. Once inside, they found the bodies of Angela Long, 51 and her great nephew Chamas Bowie, 5.
Long was found in the bedroom and the boy was found in the back of the home.
Coroner Carlton Utley said the bodies were sent to the Alabama Department of Forensic Science for identification.
Officials have not released the cause of the fire.

'More debate needed' on anti-social behaviour
The chief constable of Cleveland Police has called for more debate on what should be considered as anti-social behaviour among young people.
Jacqui Cheer says there is a big difference between teenagers gathering together, exploring the world and growing up - and behaviour which needs to be punished by police.
But the debate remains divisive.

My wife and I came to CT to get married legally. We ended up with an amazing wedding experience from start to finish because of Stacey and Mark at the Cornwall Inn. We were married at Kent Falls. We stayed at Cornwall Inn before and after and also had our cocktail reception and dinner there. Scott, the chef, prepared a beautiful and delicious meal - accommodating the various lactose and gluten-free and vegetarian needs among our guests. The rooms (my parents stayed, too) were well-appointed, comfortable, clean and pretty. We even brought our dog! Stacey helped us plan the menu, ensure we got to the "right" Town Hall for the license, advised on room set-up and timing and more. The location was gorgeous, the service was expert, and we cannot wait to return for our first anniversary. Also, DO NOT MISS THE CHEESECAKE! It is spectacular. Thanks you, Stacey and Mark, for making the day everything we hoped it could be.

My husband, 4yr.old son and I had a great one night get away. Everything about the inn: our room, the pool, the location, the FOOD was perfect. We spent the day around Kent and came back for a swim and the most relaxing wonderful dinner. We all slept great and went swimming again in the morning. Although we only live 90 miles away we could have made this day trip. So glad we didn't. It is the perfect get-away. The entire staff was welcoming, great guest service. My only suggestion is if you have kids bring a little cooler with drinks or snacks for in the car. You may not find a place to stop as soon as you would like around this beautiful area. Can't wait to go back. The P Family.

I have been staying at the Cornwall Inn for the last several years and it keeps getting better and better. This time I stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms in the Lodge and I had a great nights sleep. The location is great for hiking, white water rafting and horseback riding. Also one of the great things about the Cornwall Inn is their restaurant and bar. The food and service was great and it is right on the property. One of the great things about the bar is the people. Both the wait staff and the locals that gather at the bar are friendly and out going.

My friend and I have stayed at many bed and breakfast inns, but Mark and Stacey have created one of the very best at Cornwall. It is charming and inviting. Chef Todd creates wonderful meals. We did not want to leave. We felt as though we had found a home away from home. It was truly a wonderful experience...so much so that we stayed an additional 2 nights AND scheduled a return visit much earlier than we thought we would. We felt like we were leaving friends and family behind when we had to head home! This inn will be a regular stop on our yearly treks to Maine. Thanks so much to Mark, Stacey, Todd and their wonderful staff.

While attending the Litchfield Jazz Festival, we stay at the Cornwall Inn and Lodge. The rooms,breakfast,restaurant and after festival tavern gathering place make our hearts sing! There are inns closer to the Goshen fair grounds,but we would miss swimming in the pool and visiting with Stacey and Mark. Mark and Stacey are a very dynamic couple,who can't do enough to make our weekend stay comfortable and fun. Sincerely, Susan Efrus

Stayed the Friday and Saturday nights. The place is clean, friendly, has a lovely swimming pool, and the owners are friendly and helpful. But for a B & B with very mediocre rooms ( Tiny bathroom/shower, only a small low hanging closet, and not all light bulbs working.) -- it is pricey. $169/night is just too much for what is given. Breakfast was adequate although but a larger coffee urn would be a good idea.

This lovely inn is situated perfectly where we can get to hike the Appalachian trail, ski the local mountains, mounain bike, or my favorite relaxing thing to do... wet a fly line with a 20" rainbow tugging at the end. The hospitality of the inn keepers is beyond comparision. The genuine warmth and interest in their guests just emanates in all they day. If you ever have a question, they will go out of their way to ensure you get what you need. Go relax, and have a great time. We go back every year, at least twice a year... Spring and Winter are our favorites.

Fresh Cranberry-Clementine Relish
This recipe is particularly good for small children to tackle because there's no hot stovetop involved, and kids love to watch things getting ground up in a food processor.
Clementines, with their thin, sweet skin, make the recipe taste more kid-friendly than the traditional cranberry-orange relish, which can be too bitter.
Hands-On Time: 10 minutes
Ready In: 4 hours, 10 minutes
Yield: 8-10 servings (as a condiment)
2 cups fresh cranberries, washed and picked over for stems, or 1 (8-ounce) bag frozen cranberries
3 clementines (preferably organic; if not, wash clementines thoroughly), cut into chunks, skin included
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Pinch of salt
- In a food processor pulse the cranberries and clementines until finely chopped, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the sugar, almond extract, and salt. Chill at least 4 hours.
What's Good for You
Phytochemicals in cranberries deter bacteria from "sticking" to our insides, thus helping prevent urinary tract infections, ulcers, and even gum disease.

Score from 880 reviews Very good
Wifi was good. Bed was comfortable. Location was ok. I did not see the swimming pool, so I can not say anything about that.
The room had a awful smell despite it was quite decently cleaned. Breakfast was really poor also.
very unexpensive walking distance from the strip
Good location, clean, quiet, value for the stay in LV.
Excelent location, great people at front desk, I'll be back soon as I travel again.
The beds were comfortable and the onsite casino and restaurant were good. It really made our first trip to Vegas fun and affordable. The steaks at the onsite restaurant were excellent!
Wifi was very poor.
Price. Very quiet 3rd floor.
old interiors, worn carpets. Breakfast needs more protein.
Reception girls are hot.
Everything is fine.
Free shuttle to the airport
Not right on the strip
The price, staff
Pool open 24/24 Airconditionner
No fruits for breakfast :( Breakfast hours not enough
Hot pool didn't work. Also the sink in our room stink like sewage when you turned on the water.
When I booked the super 8 I was a bit concerned because of the low cost of the room. But I was very pleasantly surprised - I would say this super 8 is certainly the best value for the money! If you are not willing to pay more for the room in Vegas than necessary, super 8 is great choice!
The place is near by strip street, just walking 5 min and you are in strip. It's connected to a casino Ellis where they do great Pizza ...I was so much comfortable with the service and the quietness of the room and the rate was so fair..
I didn't like the taxi's company, when you call them, it tools minimum 45 min to reach you. And tv channels are too poor in the room .
Hotel was a ten minute walk from the strip, it's not really special but it good if you want to spent your time in the casinos and shows of Vegas.
Breakfast was very basic, toast and or waffles...
The in general customer service.
very noisy and smelly.
Location in proximity to the strip.
Had a less than pleasant order in the hallway to the room.
Location is great! Not on the strip but close enough to walk to the strip. Quiet! We had a corner room in front & never heard a sound. Staff was friendly & helpful. Free breakfast was good. The presence of the security in the front parking lot was encouraging. When we needed extra towels they have them to me right away.
When we checked in, the carpets hadn't been vacuumed & the sheets hadn't been changed, they had an odor. I called the front desk & they changed the sheets. The coffee machine in the lobby didn't work for a while but they fixed it.
Friendly staff very helpful .the landscape was very nice. And love that the hotel is dog friendly. Nice TV and Internet
The restroom was badly in need of remodel the walls and floors. The carpet in room was stained and of poor quality. And room had a foul older. In need of update furniture.
This was the first vegas trip with my sister's and we had a blast and they loved the stay at the hotel snd enjoyed the pool time before it closed for repairs. I will stay here again.
The location was great for us. Not too far, not too close from the Strip. We really appreciated the breakfast (did not know it was included when we booked the room).
The free coffee machine in the lobby did not work when we were there.
Beds appeared clean but carpets were very dirty with possible insects (bed bugs??? ).
I do not know why the staff at front desk said there was no breakfast available at the time when I asked him on Monday morning where was breakfast ,it was only 10:05 a.m.The breakfast should be availiable from 6:00-10:30 from Mon.-Fri.
*Cheap room rates *Its very close to strip area(but you will completely exhausted at the end of day. Then this hotel seems very far) *they have free shuttle to airport
*Cleanliness!! Their carpet stinks. We were shifted from horribly smelling room to less smelly one on request. *We needed a computer to transfer our photos from camera. Hotel staff showed us the terminal which took $5 for 15 mins and no one new how to operate it. We somehow figured it out, but the system stopped working in middle. We had to call the ISP to get help. * No breakfast
My dad and I loved the free coffee machine. It was so close to Ellis which is a little casino with food. We had a great time at Ellis. The walk to the strip wasn't far at all and the airport shuttle is wonderful as well. We had a great time at this hotel. We never tried the breakfast because we were always up late and slept late. I would recommend this place as it is great value for the price you pay.
Wifi is a little slow if you use Skype or FaceTime. But everything else was fine!

AFAIK there are no plugins that check for copied content. Even if one were written it would either be extremely resource intensive if automated or require manual checking from within the ACP which would make it rather pointless as this can be easily done in other ways.

With 45 percent of Americans agreeing to become donors - some are still asking...why is there such a lack of receiving organs?
Organs are a one of a kind gift.
Allen Overtuf of Freeman Health Systems' Critical Care Unit says "The difference that can be made to the lives...it can save lives, it can improve lives, to truly hundreds of people just by one commitment of wanting to help others."
Organ donations are vital in saving lives...especially when the need for valuable organs are on the rise. Currently more than 118,000 patients are on the wait-list for a transplant. 1,500 of those patients are in Missouri.
But when over 50 percent of the Missouri population is registered to donate...why is there such a long wait to receive an organ?
"When we're looking at placing organs, it's going to be geographically. We place within our local area first, and then regionally and then nationally, as well as how sick that patient is, the height, weight, blood type, those are all really important factors." says Cathy Lucchi of the Midwest Transplant Network. She says only 3% of the U.S. population are completely eligible to donate an organ after going through rigorous testing.
Overturf explains "Sometimes when they actually review the organs themselves, it turns out they may not be quite as healthy as expected, sometimes they're more healthy than expected. So the lab and any kind of diagnostics we can run on the front end, sometimes those organs turn out to be viable or not viable."
One of the common ideas of organ donations is when you're at a hospital and receiving care, and a doctor sees the "organ donor" label on your ID, you're less likely to receive the care you need. But officials say insist this idea is simply not true.
"We do everything we can to save a patient. it's the patients life first. We do everything possible." Overturf says.

Maternity units to reopen as 'on demand' birthing centres
Updated 6:45pm Thursday 12th June 2014 in News
MATERNITY units in Harwich and Clacton will be reopened as "on-demand" birthing centres by next month.
The wards at the coastal hospitals were closed for births in a shock move earlier this year due to staff shortages in Colchester.
But at a meeting today Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust board decided the birthing units would be re-opened as birthing centres.
This means mothers will be able to phone midwives when they go into labour and the midwife will then meet them at the unit.

several cruise reviews i've read slammed the food in the dining room. we thought most nights it was very good. there were a couple of misses there but nothing major. the ship decor was beautifully tasteful and the ship was easy to get around. the spa was fantastic! we bought a spa package so we spent quite a bit of time there. try the seashell massage. i was afraid it would be gimmicky but it was really good. i got the best pedicure ever in the beauty salon.
it didn't take long to get ashore once we reached the ports and the staff was organized and helpful.
we were surprised at the prices in the mexican restaurant and the minibar. they were really reasonable. a number of people were complaining because you had to buy water in the dining room. that wasn't a big deal to me. keep in mind if you are going on this cruiseline; you have to pay for water and budget accordingly, if that kind of thing is a big deal to you.
bottom line: i will definitely cruise with this line again. we thought it was a fantastic vacation.
my only complaint was that the christmas carols really got on my nerves after the first day or two. please, msc, add more variety to your music selection since you can't get away from it in the public areas of the ship.

Dusty Baker, who was fired by the Cincinnati Reds last year, wants to return to managing. Baker went 509-463 in his six seasons as the Reds' skipper, leading them to three 90-win seasons and two National League Central crowns the past four years. It was Cincinnati's most successful four-year stretch since the Big Red Machine clubs of the 1970s. But club ownership was not pleased with the manner in which the club finished the season, losing six straight games after being favored to win a second straight division title. "I feel like I could help somebody," Baker told the Bay Area News Group. Team officials suggested announcing Baker's departure as a retirement, but Baker disagreed. "Why? That's not what I wanted," Baker said. "I'll know when I want to retire. ... I said, 'Let's call it what it is.' " Baker also said he contacted the Washington Nationals, Seattle Mariners and Detroit Tigers about their managerial vacancies in the offseason but did not hear back from the teams. "What's it take to call back and say, 'No, thank you?' " Baker said. The Nationals hired former All-Star third baseman Matt Williams, who played for Baker when he managed the San Francisco Giants in the 1990s. Baker said he was not trying to compete with Williams for the job. "I didn't want to do anything that would ice (Williams) out of the job," Baker said. "I told him, 'That's not why I put my name in the hat. I put my name in the hat to show people I wasn't through.' " The Mariners named Lloyd McClendon its manager and the Tigers hired Brad Ausmus. Baker said he is healthy. In 2012, he discovered he had an irregular heartbeat after suffering a mini-stroke. He was resting in Chicago hospital when the Reds won the National League Central that season. "I know I'm strong," he said. "Nobody needs to tell you when you're strong." Baker, who also managed the Chicago Cubs, ranks 16th on baseball's all-time wins list with 1,671.

The Rams are bringing back backup QB Kellen Clemens Thursday after releasing him during the team's final roster cuts on Aug. 31.
As the primary backup to injury-prone starter Sam Bradford, Clemens was considered a surprise name on the Rams' final cut list. His release left undrafted rookie Austin Davis as the team's No. 2 quarterback for the Rams' Week One game against the Lions.
Clemens' return to the team once again will pair him with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, who coached Clemens on the Jets until Clemens left after the 2010 season.
To make room for Clemens, the Rams released fourth-year DT Darell Scott, who hasn't started a game since his rookie season. Scott was drafted by St. Louis in the fourth round of the 2009 draft.
The way we see it
Had he remained on the roster for Week One, Clemens' contract would have been fully guaranteed for the season. By re-signing him after the first week, the Rams will be paying week to week for the security of an experienced backup for Bradford, without any money guaranteed.

Police linking two robberies at Coral and Ladbrokes betting shops within 24 hours
Updated 7:55am Friday 9th May 2014 in News By Steven Smith, Chief Reporter
DETECTIVES investigating the raid at Coral in Castle Lane West on Thursday believe that the suspect is the same robber who held up Ladbrokes at Christchurch Road on Wednesday evening.
A robber entered Ladbrokes in Christchurch Road, between Pokesdown station and Iford, at 6.24pm on Wednesday, wielding a hammer and demanding cash.
After a quantity of money was handed over, he fled, sparking a manhunt around the area.
CCTV images of the suspect were released, but he is still at large.
The man was described as white, in his mid-30s, about 5ft 9in tall with short black hair.
He was wearing a white shirt, black pin-striped suit jacket and jeans. He was carrying a computer-style bag.
Yesterday evening, detectives said they thought the suspect perpetrated both robberies.
The raids are just the latest in a spate in recent weeks.
There have been no arrests over a robbery at Co-op, Bearwood, on Saturday, April 19.
Also, none have been made in relation to a robbery involving five men forcing their way into a flat on Poole Quay on Sunday, April 6, and over an incident where a 33-year-old woman was robbed at knifepoint in Lowther Gardens, Bournemouth, on April 13.
Speaking after the robbery at Coral in Castle Lane West, Detective Inspector Mark Samuel, said: "We are aware that there have been a number of robberies in the Bournemouth area recently.
"I would like to assure the public that robberies are a priority area for Dorset Police and the Criminal Investigation Department thoroughly investigates this type of crime using specially-trained detective officers and analysts."
Police have arrested a 19-year-old Poole man on suspicion of robbery after a raid at Central Stores, Cunningham Crescent, West Howe, on Monday, April 28. He has been bailed until July.
Witnesses and anyone with information about any of the other incidents should call Dorset Police in confidence on 101.
Alternatively, call the free and anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a disorder that affects behavior. It can cause hyperactive and impulsive behavior, and/or make it difficult to pay attention. Most people have some of these behavioral issues at some time. However with ADHD, these behavioral problems continue over a long period of time. To be considered ADHD, these behaviors must last for at least six months and be present in two environments (home, work, or school). ADHD affects children, adolescents, and adults.
There are three types of ADHD:
The cause of ADHD is unknown. It most likely is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. There also appears to be a genetic factor since ADHD can run in families.

Factors that increase your chance of developing ADHD include:
All children display some of the symptoms of ADHD. Children with ADHD have symptoms that are more severe and consistent. They often have difficulty in school and with their family and peers.
ADHD can last into adulthood. It can cause problems with relationships, job performance, and job retention. Symptoms can vary according to the type of ADHD:
People with ADHD may also have:
There is no standard test to diagnose ADHD. It is done by a trained mental health professional. The diagnosis will also be based on feedback from family and teachers.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that the following guidelines be used for diagnosis in children 4-18 years of age:
The goal is to improve the child's ability to function. Doctors should work together with parents and school staff. Together, they can set realistic goals and evaluate the child's response.
Treatments include:
Children who do not sleep enough may suffer from worse behavioral problems. A key part of treatment is to ensure that children with ADHD get plenty of sleep.
Medications can help control behavior and increase attention span. Stimulants are the most common choice for ADHD. They increase activity in parts of the brain that appear to be less active in children with ADHD. Stimulant medications include:
Talk to your doctor if you have any questions about ADHD medications. There are possible risks with these medications, including heart problems and psychiatric problems (such as, hearing voices, becoming manic).
Although the risk of serious heart problems is rare some medical organizations recommend screening before starting ADHD medication. The American Heart Association (AHA) suggests that children have an
electrocardiogram (EKG) before starting stimulant medication for ADHD.
Other medical organizations like the AAP do not recommend this screening. Talk to your doctor about your child's risk.
Other drugs include:
Children who take medication and go to therapy do better than those who just use medication. Therapy sessions focus on practicing social and problem-solving skills. Counselors will also teach parents and teachers to help the child through positive reinforcement. This could involve changes in the classroom, as well as in parenting style. Often, daily report cards are exchanged between parents and teachers.
Other tools, like the Disc'O'Sit cushion, may be helpful in improving children's attention in class. The Disc'O'Sit is a dome-shaped cushion filled with air that the child balances on.
ADHD coaching can also be helpful. These coaches work with individuals to help them organize and create strategies so that they can be more efficient and successful.
There are no guidelines for preventing ADHD because the cause is unknown. Proper treatment can prevent problems later in life.

Leading the Way in New Hospital Design For Texas' Single-Provider Communities
For many rural hospitals, deteriorating facilities and out-of-date technology are increasingly common. "As new services are developed it is important to have the proper space to deliver those new services in a quality manner." said Michael S. Thompson, CEO, Frio Regional Hospital. Modernization is necessary for rural hospitals to continue providing high levels of care to their patients.
Regional Hospital faced such a dilemma recently with the old Frio Hospital
in Pearsall, Texas. Frio Regional Hospital
chose to move forward with a new facility. The new hospital, a
42,000 SF freestanding facility, includes 22 acute care beds with
outpatient, surgical, obstetric and emergency services.
The new facility provides a tremendous advantage. Prior to planned
development, the hospital had purchased 112 acres with one mile of
frontage on IH-35 South access road.
An EDA grant of $1 million was obtained to finance infrastruction
for the hospital, future clinics and other business park entities. The $8 million facility was
financed with $5 million cash and a $3 million tax-exempt bank loan. The master
site plan incorporates future growth to support the continuum of care
through medical office buildings and long term care facilities. Today, two
medical office buildings sit near the new hospital, and roads around the
site are in place for future expansion. The site's proximity to a major
interstate also provides excellent visibility and accessibility for the
Administration and staff at Frio Regional Hospital are now prepared for the growth that the new facility will attract. The function layout of the hospital facilitates future expansion of all major departments while maintaining an efficient circulation for patients and staff.
After one year, the hospital experienced a 10% volume increase. And while the new hospital is
three times the size of the old facility, the innovative design and
effective relationship of services has allowed the administration to
maintain their staffing levels at 3.9 full time employees per adjusted
occupied bed. According to Mr. Holmes, there was some pressure to make the
facility bigger during the planning stages of the project, "but we
maintained a conservative position."
The conservative size of the hospital,
combined with the efficient/patient ratio supports Frio Regional
Hospital's operational and financial goals.
The board of Frio Regional Hospital chose O'Connell Robertson and Associates, Inc. as architects. O'Connell Robertson provided architecture, engineering, and interior design services as well as construction administration.
Project Control of Texas of San Antonio provided construction management services. Project Control involved Mitchell Construction Company as well as the electrical and mechanical sub-contractor in the planning stages which resulted in cost reduction of roughly 11%.
Project Control was hired for a flat fee of $146,000 to represent the owner. All other parties (architects, hospital staff, physicians, contractors) have incentives to increase the scope and cost of the project. PCT provided technical assistance in negotiations with all contractors and planning from the beginning, resulting in savings far in excess of their fee. A list of all expenses associated with this project is available on request.

Victoria is latest queen in Cunard's lineage
The rising sun peeked under red-orange clouds splayed over the Caribbean port of Cristóbal and backlighted the small armada of ships anchored there, waiting their turn at the Panama Canal. Cups of cappuccino in hand, my wife, Laurel, and I stepped out on the veranda of our cabin aboard Cunard Line's Queen Victoria, two weeks into its 2009 world cruise from Southampton, England.

METAIRIE, La. —With only three days to go before the Saints host the 49ers in a critical NFC game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans is looking at having only three healthy cornerbacks on the active roster.
Both Corey White (right knee) and Elbert Mack (concussion) missed their second day of practice this week.
That means as of now, New Orleans will have only Jabari Greer, Patrick Robinson and Johnny Patrick as healthy cornerbacks.
That could be a problem for the Saints, who must find a way to 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree (47 catches, 541 yards, 5 touchdowns), tight end Vernon Davis (35 catches, 487 yards, 5 touchdowns), receiver Mario Manningham (31 catches, 343 yards, 1 touchdown) and receiver Randy Moss (16 catches, 266 yards, 2 touchdowns).
Thursday, acting head coach Joe Vitt said safety Malcolm Jenkins could move down to cornerback if the team needs.
Jenkins entered the NFL as a cornerback and was moved to safety in his second season. He said would be all right with the move if needed.
"There's a couple of times in practice where we're short on practice and every now and then I'll take a couple of reps at the corner or possibly the nickel," Jenkins said. "I'm definitely comfortable with it."
Mack's timeline for return could be as simple as passing the league's concussion protocol. White's return, on the other hand, is a little less clear. His injury has never been fully described and no timeline has ever been given.
"It's just a safety thing," Mack said. "You want to make sure when I do get back out there, I'm 100 percent. I don't want to get back out there and not be 100 percent because now, after your second concussion, it's almost like an automatic IR. We're just trying to keep my best interest in mind."
Meanwhile, right tackle Zach Strief (left groin) was limited for a second consecutive day. Bryce Harris has taken all the first-team snaps this week and said he's ready to play if Strief can't.
Also not practicing were defensive end Junior Galette (left ankle), linebacker Ramon Humber (illness) and offensive tackle Charles Brown (right knee).
Running back Darren Sproles (left hand) was full once again.

We wish it cost a little less, but if you've already got Philips Hue LEDs in your home, then adding the Tap to your setup makes a lot of sense.

Sony's thin, powerful Tap 11 tablet shows up the competition in terms of design. It's not ideal for everyone, but only a few tweaks away from being the runaway leader in this smallish category.
There may be a lot of touch-screen tabletop Windows 8 tablet PCs, but the Vaio Tap 21 has the looks to compete.
A compelling experiment in tablet-desktop hybridization, the Sony Vaio Tap 20 is a great fit for home tech enthusiasts willing to try something new.

QMI products are manufactured by QMI in Itasca, IL, USA.
QMI is the largest manufacturer of storm and security rolling shutters for residential and commercial markets in the USA and the Caribbean.
QMI products include:
All QMI products receive rigorous intrusion testing to protect people and property.
StormSafe products all pass the "small missile impact test" to receive the most stringent High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) safety rating.
Storefront Security Gates by QMI
Roll-a-way StoreSafe® products are designed to give the utmost in storefront security with unmatched aesthetics. All StoreSafe shutter systems deter intruders and protect valuable retail inventory. The different shutter styles provide a wide spectrum of investment level and views into the retail storefront. StoreSafe interior storefront shutters are often complemented with CounterSafe® or ProductSafe® shutter systems for further high-value inventory or pharmaceutical protection. Retailers have found 70% decreases in burglary attempts at their stores with the protection of StoreSafe storefront security gates.
StoreSafe® Solid Profile
Solid slat shutter curtains secure your business and property from intruders and prying eyes. They are available in single-wall, or double-walled slats for a little more energy or sound insulation. A patented end-retention system is available on most slat styles to further restrict them from being pushed or pried out of the sidetracks. StoreSafe® systems rolls into an industry-leading smaller coil, reducing the head room needed for the coil housing. Some solid slat shutter systems are also hurricane-rated. Widths up to 26'.
StoreSafe® Vision Profile
Our most popular curtain slat for the interior storefront windows, the AL7, is available with five different perforation patterns offering 24% to 39% vision into the storefront. Vision profile slats enable signage, window displays, and store displays to be viewed by future consumers, but let intruders know the store is well protected. The end-retention system is also provided with the vision slats to deter crow bar or sledge hammer forced entry. Widths up to 26'.
StoreSafe® Transparoll
Our transparent rolling shutter is true "Security with Vision." Secure your closed business and continue selling with 85 percent visibility. Made of premium, impact-resistant polycarbonate 6 mm thick, Transparoll shutters are 250 times stronger than glass of the same thickness. Transparoll is perfect for covering large spans for storefront security or dividing rooms. Widths up to 26 ft.
StoreSafe® Grilles
CD78 and CD900 Alulux storefront security gates are designed for high levels of security where visibility is still required. PVC inserts may be included for noise reduction. Visibility is 62% to 70% for grilles in this product family. As an added security upgrade, polycarbonate inserts and steel inserts are available. Limited stock colors. 150 custom colors available. Widths up to 12 ft.
StoreSafe® Security Mesh
Hi-tensile stainless steel mesh surrounded by a low profile frame is a 24/7/365 choice for security, and guards against glass breakage. Not much heavier than a traditional bug screen, this stainless steel mesh repels knives, crow bars, and projectiles. While security mesh does not roll up, there is an operable egress option where required. Custom template shapes are available: circle tops, arches, polygons, and triangles may be fabricated to conform to your building design.
StoreSafe® Accordion Shutters
Our StoreSafe® Accordion storefront security gates are available in solid panel, see-thru polycarbonate, and standard open grille patterns. Our accordion style shutter and grilles neatly stack in a closet, or wall pocket, and are perfect for those applications where very long spans are required, or there is limited headroom. Almost unlimited widths available. Tracks may be curved to follow radius storefront contours.
QMI offers six product lines to accomplish storefront security, partitioning space for public and private access, and securing valuable inventory. Storefront security with QMI is an attractive alternative to rolling steel doors. The products listed above are less intrusive then other security alternatives. The methods of installation, using aluminum support tubes and rails color matched to the storefront enable the shutters to virtually disappear during the day. Except for the solid storefront security gates, the other 6 products enable night time merchandising, but would be intruders will notice upon closer inspection that a store with QMI shutters is very well protected.
QMI's line of storefront security shutters are commonplace at cell phone stores, electronic stores, pharmacies, jewelers, government buildings, and retail stores in hurricane prone areas. The solid storefront security gates are hurricane approved in Florida, Texas, and all coastal areas when properly mounted to the exterior side of the storefront glazing.
Most retail interior storefront installations are positioned on the inside of the glazing due to landlord restrictions. Those restrictions actually make intruder access more difficult than if the storefront security gates were mounted on the outside. Rolling steel doors mounted to the exterior offer the potential intruder unlimited time to bypass the security barrier without fear of the alarm triggering and forcing quick action. Once an alarm triggers, burglars have 1-2 minutes to do their business. Interior storefront shutters make that quick entry and exit virtually impossible. View the retailer installation video to see how shutters are installed and also witness the shutters being smash tested with a 12 pound sledge hammer by four men. The video also demonstrates the interior storefront before and after the shutter installation to see just how unobtrusive the QMI shutter system is once installed.
QMI was established in 1986 by the Miller family. What began as a simple, modest business has grown to become one of the largest U.S. manufacturers of storm and security rolling shutters for residential and commercial markets.
QMI is an acronym for Qualitas Manufacturing Inc., the company's original name. Qualitas (pronounced "kwal-e-tas") is Latin for "quality." While the Miller family changed the name for easier pronunciation, it still represents the premium products and the level of extra care, attention and service we give to each customer.
With more than 20 years in the business, QMI has earned its reputation as one of the nation's top suppliers of high-quality shutters. We have a dealer and installation network throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. We also distribute shutter parts to other manufacturers throughout North America.
As the company grows, it continues to expand its line of products. In 2008, QMI branded its line of storm and security shutters under the Roll-a-way name.
Roll-a-way dealers are located throughout the eastern and gulf coasts, plus most Caribbean Islands. QMI dealers and installers are located throughout North America.

Many gun owners are afraid of stricter gun control laws. For verification, look no further than the high attendance at this weekends local gun show.
Vendors needed more space because they knew this was going to be a big year—and the hot topic around the tables? Gun control.
Thousands of guns lined the tables. One hundred twenty vendors brought their best stuff. But it wasn't just guns for the taking.
There was military garb and historic war pieces, there were even tipis and buffalo.
This was the biggest gun show the Rock Creek Renegades Muzzle–loading Club has ever seen.
Mostly because people are afraid they won't always have the option of buying the guns they want. They said they're okay with jumping through a few hoops to buy one, but too much regulation is unnecessary.
"I'm all for background checks for sure, it's a good thing, you can't be too careful. It's really not that hard to go down and get a permit that's good for three years—once you get a permit, it's no big deal. More restrictive background checks? Not so much," Justin Potter said.
The coordinators of the show said this is a family environment and learning how to safely use a gun is important.
"We have a lot of very safe, conscientious people who hunt and fish and target shoot and use their gun for sport—I see our gun show as a wholesome family activity," Coordinator Ardis Moody said.
Many vendors are concerned that the people who are misusing guns are misrepresenting majority of gun owners.
"Those realms are not being looked at when it comes to the gun control policies taking plane and its unfortunate for the people who are doing it right, who are following the rules," Vendor Tina Thompson said.
Many also said the guns aren't really the problem. However, if a few extra steps reassure the general population, then that's okay.
"Those of us who are here and following the rules are more than willing to do what it takes to make people feel comfortable," Thompson said.
The gun show is wrapping up tomorrow at the Lancaster County Event Center from 9 to 4.

The year Armstrong® brand was founded in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Marketing Director
Breno Augusto Nogueira
Marketing Director
What I do @ ATG
I am responsible for all aspects of marketing for Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay and Bolivia. That includes pricing, trade marketing, marketing communications and product development for the ten hand tool brands we sell in those countries. Among our top sellers are Belzer®, SATA®, Nicholson® and K&F®.
Where I got my start
After receiving a bachelor's degree in economics, I joined Fiat Group´s global leadership program, which gave me an opportunity to live in Italy, the United States and Mexico. My responsibilities ranged from human resources to finance as a business unit controller. It was a great experience, but I always dreamed of pursuing a master of business administration degree in the United States and better understanding other aspects of business. I chose Duke University because of its focus on international management and teamwork. While studying there, I took a summer internship at Cooper Tools and was offered a full-time position, which I accepted as soon as I graduated in 2010. At that point, Cooper and Danaher Tool Group had just merged to become Apex Tool Group.
A day in my life
The level of autonomy I have is very high, which expedites the implementation of new ideas. I am empowered to judge whether a local solution is more appropriate than global programs that the company has to offer. For example, I recently saw an opportunity to develop a new sales rebate package that is unique to the Brazilian market. When I told the CEO about it, he said, "The only way we'll find out if it will work is to do it fast." It literally took me a couple of phone calls and a few days to make it happen. We've seen significant top-line growth as a result.
What I would tell a prospective associate?
ATG is a company that respects its associates and offers constant challenges. We are also a global company with a strong collaborative spirit that allows you to easily access colleagues outside your country to get their perspective on a project. There are no boundaries when it comes to what we can accomplish. This philosophy is what allows us to grow through innovation.
