How can I stop my son from spitting?
My son spits on the floor, and when I remind him that we only spit in the sink, he spits on me. I've tried putting him in his room for a time-out, but then he just spits all over himself. Help! I don't know what to do.

My niece turned 2 in March and she does the exact same thing. If she's mad she does it and she does it playing around with her milk, juice, and saliva. For a while we could not figure out where she got it from until one day I noticed her dad spitting outside. I told my sister that is where she probably got it from. We have tried telling her to stop, giving her a time out and even popping her on the mouth, but it seams that nothing at this time is working. I assume as she gets older she will eventually grow out of it as yours will. She is still being disciplined, but we also know that she is too young to get spankings. She is also a really happy child as I am sure yours is so what little advice I can give is give it sometime. I can't imagine he will do this forever. Also, when my niece spits and is playing we are now trying not to pay too much attention to her so that she doesn't see it as a game to do even more. Hope this helps. And I am sure you are a great mom as my sister is.posted 05/30/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
My 3 year old son started spitting but not out of anger or attention. He would be playing very nicely and then just spit on the floor. He also started spitting at his 2 year old sister occasionally while playing. It took a few weeks to get him to stop but it was just a phase and we stayed consistant about sending him to time out and taking him to the bathroom to the sink. He now gets up and goes to the bathroom sink to spit. Every child is different. I hope this helps.posted 08/28/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Sheri, I cannot believe that a person like you could raise any well behaved children. What an evil, rude comment you made. The poor woman realizes well that her son's behavior is intolerable and is asking for advice how to deal with it, and does not deserve a nasty response like yours. Next time, offer helpful advice or refrain from giving any at all.posted 09/20/2006 by SKT123
WOW...I cannot believe the harsh comments...my daughter at 3 spit and when time out did not work, I used the old soap in the mouth in the bathroom. You want to spit I will give you something to spit out. I did not hit, punish, yell, grab, or physically or emotional hurt my child. Try the soap in the mouth and see if that works. As for the comments about American children...go back to the country you came from...now...please!!!posted 06/01/2006 by frank5568
The only rude thing about this particular issue are the mothers above who referred to Soo as an idiot, or worse, said she "deserves a slap in the head." And the typical, Europe is so much better than America comments; if you feel so strongly about it, please, do us all a favor and move back to Greece. You, who did not offer constructive advice should be ashamed of yourselves.posted 05/03/2006 by eliza2
I admire you for coming here looking for advice. This is what good mothers do. I was very disgusted to read comments from other moms criticizing you. By their rude language and comments, they should not give any advice at all! My advice is to find one punishment and stick to it. It takes a while for the child to learn how to behave apropriately. You could take your boy's favorite toy for the day if he spits and not return it until the following day. It may take you a few days to make this work, but it will, and try not to change the punishment. Good luck!posted 03/11/2006 by Lilianmomof2
This poor mother asked for help and this is what you guys gave her? Shame on all you mothers for putting her down. It is not her fault that he spits. My son is going through a spitting phase now and is three years old. He is doing it for attention. When she tells him it's wrong then he does something worse by spitting in her face. Obviously not the smartest thing for him to do. But in time he'll learn that is not the way to get attention,if she tells him that. You don't need to spank your kids so they will listen, what kind of example are you setting for your children.posted 10/30/2005 by maddieanne
If the child is (<3)young, I would just ignore and walk away. this really does work. The bigger deal you make the more they remember it and keep doing it. At the first sign of this behavior I would say "that is not nice" and walk away. Honestly I have never had to hit my child and he is very well behaved. I just walk away from bad behavior, and he had learned he needs to walk away too. I just tell him he needs to walk away, and he does a self induced time out. Not everything works for every kid though, that is just what has worked for us.posted 08/12/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
NEVER say Never. The best of parents get blessed with the "active" one.posted 06/28/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Hi, this is a disgusting habit. Telling him it is disrespectful may not be enough, telling him it spreads germs may make more sense. Teach him all about germs. Sounds like he is doing it for attention. The more you focus on it and make it a huge issue, the more he will continue doing it. Nip it in the bud by withholding a privilige, and redirect, redirect, redirect. Sounds like he needs positive attention. Spend at least 30 mins/day one-on-one time, his choice of game/play. Good luck!posted 05/13/2005 by a BabyCenter Member

Here are my picks to roll, and get rolled, in Week 15 of the 2011 season.
Watch 'em roll
Tim Tebow, QB, Broncos vs. Patriots. There's only one elite quarterback playing in this game, and it's not Tebow. But New England's secondary has made fantasy stars out of Rex Grossman and Dan Orlovsky over the last two weeks. Even if he's on-target only in the fourth quarter while playing catch-up, Tebow will deliver stellar production.
Cedric Benson, RB, Bengals at Rams. There's no better matchup for an opposing rusher than the Rams' putrid defense. Benson is the unchallenged workhorse of the Bengals offense, making him a must-start in virtually every league - even over some elite options.

We set out to follow through what we started by going to local antique shows, flea markets, and Saturday night auctions. We were looking for authenticity.
"I have about 18 weather vanes. I think our first weather vane cost $900. There was something in that vane—I was intrigued by how it aged, by the patina. People say, 'Oh, you're the guy who likes weather vanes,' but the collection isn't only about weather vanes, or about collecting. It's about an attitude, something about the perfection of an object that stirs me.
"I hate the word 'preppy,' but I relate to American objects and the American heritage look. As a youngster, I liked the adventure of looking and seeking. We didn't have a lot of extra money when we were kids, but we loved to find these old shops, with army shirts and old leather jackets.
"I place my objects on white or in glass. Nothing is in storage—my collection surrounds me. I'm not the richest guy in the world, but whatever I've got is the best of the best."

Overall, For the price, it was good. We went for just over 1,200 PP. Tax incl. Had a Port hole room
The ship was easy to navigate around. Lots of activities on board if your an Older traveler. Staff does try to accommodate you the best they can given the restrictions they have to follow.
The food in the "DINING ROOM" is very good. I like that you do not have to do preferred seating. This give you more flexibility. Especially when out on shore excursion's.
The ship is in very good condition! BUY YOUR ONBOARD SUVIONEERS towards the last few days at sea!!! ( two days) Much better discounts! Every ship is designed this way! Save a few bucks!
Very long lines in the buffet's.. The food is diverse, but substandard of what you would expect from The Princess Line. Much like cafeteria food. The mail dish is changed daily, however many of the other dishes are repeated often. Lots of theme nights which is great however, if you don't really like that particular nights theme, you have little to no choice for options. The main dining room ( The ONLY free one) Might be your option. They do have a pizza and hamburger stand out side on deck 14 ( very good and free as well)
Room service food is less then desirable, I tried everything that they offered on the complimentary menu ( part of the inclusive services) The built in 15% tip applies to everything else on the ship! You do have the option to opt out and tip on your own.. I would highly suggest this to all traveler's! You'll find that better service is given.... I didn't like having to give someone a tip who wasn't doing their job! The staff is changing all the time for various reasons. Many have no clue where things are and are not much help when you ask them... I've cruised quiet a bit. I guess the standards have just lowered due to the economy. I'm still paying the same price however?? Would I do this cruise again?

The rupture of a 4-inch gas line on Newport Road in Menifee forced the closure of the heavily-trafficked roadway on Friday afternoon during rush hour.
The road was closed between Antelope Road and Westlink Drive, a stretch of the roadway near the Menifee Lakes Country Club east of Interstate 215.
The cause was listed as "construction equipment" on an incident report issued by the Riverside County Fire Department.
Area resident Jim Hyneman, who can see the scene from his backyard, said there is a large bulldozer in the area. The construction equipment is on site as part of a project to widen the road from four to six lanes.
"The sound, whistling up, is as loud as a small waterfall," he said. "You can smell the gas throughout the entire neighborhood."
Gas company crews were on site repairing the damage as of 3:20 p.m. The incident was reported at around 2:45 p.m.

At least 38 people have been shot — three fatally — around the city since Friday night, including a teen boy who was wounded during one of four police-involved shootings.
The shootings include:
— A 38-year-old man who was found slumped over the wheel of his vehicle, dead of multiple gunshot wounds, near an elementary school in the South Side Calumet Heights neighborhood early Sunday. Jeffrey Smith was found in the 9200 block of South Chappel Avenue, near Warren Elementary School, about 3 a.m. Sunday. Smith, of the 5100 block of South Marshfield Avenue, was dead at the scene.
— A 45-year-old woman was found shot and stabbed to death in an apartment in the Uptown neighborhood Sunday morning. About 5 a.m., Yolanda Holmes, 45, was found in her apartment in the 1000 block of West Montrose Avenue, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. A man with lacerations to his face was also in the apartment, police said. He was taken in "stable" condition to Weiss Memorial Hospital.
— A 27-year-old man was fatally shot in the neck and shoulders outside his Southwest Side home in the 5300 block of south Hamlin Avenue about 2:27 a.m. Tuesday by someone inside a passing vehicle.
Eduardo Acosta was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:35 a.m., according to the medical examiner's office. The shooting appeared to be gang-related, according to police, who were searching for a dark-colored sedan believed to be involved.
The non-fatal shootings include:
— Police shot a teenage boy who opened fire on them in the South Side Gresham neighborhood in the 8900 block of South Union Avenue about 12:25 a.m. Tuesday. The boy was arrested and hospitalized, and a weapon was recovered, a statement from police said. No police officers were injured.
— A gunman opened fire at a group early Sunday in the Northwest Side Belmont Craigin neighborhood, critically wounding one man in the apparently gang-related shooting. The 22-year-old victim was standing with the group of people about 1:35 a.m. in the 5000 block of West Montana Street when the gunman started shooting, police said. He was shot multiple times in the chest and was in critical condition at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. Authorities said the attack appears to be gang-related.
— A 25-year-old man leaving a bar in the River North area early Saturday was shot when a suspect on a bicycle attempted to rob him, police said. The man was leaving a bar in the 700 block of North Franklin Street at 3:15 a.m. when a male on a bicycle approached and announced a robbery, police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said. The suspect then shot the man and fled on the bike but didn't get anything from the man, who was taken in good condition to Northwestern Memorial Hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg.
— About 4 a.m. Saturday, a man was shot in the West Town neighborhood. The victim, in his 20s, was shot in the abdomen in the 1100 block of North Western Avenue, according to police. He was in "stable" condition at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, police said.
— About 10:40 p.m. on Friday, a man and a woman were shot during an argument on the Near West Side. They were in the 100 block of North Damen Avenue at 10:42 p.m. when they got into an argument with an unknown male, who took out a handgun and opened fire in their direction, police said.
Both the man, 23, and the woman, 25, were shot in the leg and taken to Stroger Hospital in "stable" condition, police said. The woman suffered gunshot wounds to both legs, police said.
The shooting happened a couple blocks from the United Center and close to the Suder Montessori Magnet School at Washington Boulevard and Damen Avenue. The male victim has a gang affiliation and a criminal record, according to a law enforcement source.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

I thought this might be an interesting look after a nice Game 1 win. This was posted on the Five For Howling site, and I figured, what the heck, let's all get the chance to comment here on WIIM.
The title was 19 reasons the Yotes will win the Series - referring not to Stevie Y's #, but rather Shane Doan's #.
1. This number is also the number of healthy knees Henrik Zetterberg has.
True, but with Hudler and Franzen helping Pav - I'm not sure we'll need him against the Yotes.
2. The Coyotes were 2-0-2 against the Wings during the regular season.
Umm, these are the playoffs - the regular season just doesn't matter
3. Keith Yandle's ability to pinch in effectively.
Yeah, well maybe someone should pinch Yandle today, he might have had some bad dreams about Pav, Johan and the inept Phoenix PP.
4. Ilya Bryzgalov is better than Jimmy Howard, Joey MacDonald, or the ghost of Chris Osgood.
Not last night folks...
5. Nicklas Lidstrom is finally showing signs of aging.
Ok, so he took a penalty last night....and????
The rest after the jump
6. Paul Bissonnette has actually discovered how to play effective fourth line minutes making both himself and Kyle Turris and Mikkel Boedker dangerous energy players for the Yotes.
Since I didn't see anything but the last 10 minutes, I'll defer to others on how the Yotes 4th line played.
7. The Joe doesn't intimidate the Coyotes. They are 4-2-1 in the last 24 months at the old barn.
I say again, it doesn't matter, these are the playoffs!
8. The Octopus tradition is tired and worn out. It is now the time of #Throwthesnake.
Um, no it's not - it may not taste very good, but Octopi rules!
9. The current version of Mike Modano resembles the old one only in appearance.
He was scratched last night - maybe Babs agrees, but you're still down 1-0 in the series...
10. The Coyotes blueline is much deeper than the Wings.
In which way?
11. Martin Hanzal is back. He had 3 goals in the seasons series, more than any other Coyote or Red Wing.
One more time - these are the playoffs...
12. Darcy Olsen & Clint Bolick are the Coyotes' Rachel Phelps.
??? huh???
13. The Wizard. He wasn't around for last year's playoff series.
Must be a desert thing....
14. The Wings have struggled to score on the power play against the Yotes this season.
The Puck Don't Lie....read 'em and weep - Wings 1 for 3 (33%), Yotes O for 6 (0%)
15. Having Ruslan Salei and Todd Bertuzzi on the same team is bad karma.
Maybe so, but Bert fired up the entire Joe and Salei blocked 4 shots.
16. Given the Wings playoff record over the past two postseasons they are due to lose in the 1st round.
Now we're resorting to "they're due"??
17. Radim Vrbata is set to make Yotesgurl's head asplode with by using his S/O move on a breakway.
Ok, so Vrbata did have a goal last night - to narrow the deficit to 2 goals - and???
18. Tyson's Jacket.
19. The Captain won't be avoiding Jimmy Howard this year.
Well that is true - Doan was in the Wings net the exact same number of times the puck was - 2. Shame that doens't acutally count for anything. You'll notice that Pav doesn't spend any time in the other team's net, he shoots it there and lets the other team get it out for him.

I don't know about you but I am inundated with paper! Aren't we supposed to have less paper in this... the computer age? Still there are things I need to keep and I'm a piler. I know 'they' say you should only look at a paper or bill once and then deal with it and put it in its file; trash it; pend it or whatever. I have my piles and I'm fine with that. To each her own I say.
One of the things I do print out and keep every week is the e-Friends Weekly Newsletter.
The Newsletter contains highlights of KSPS programs for the week. It's a good reminder to jog your memory about shows you don't want to miss. And KSPS absolutely doesn't share your email address with any other organizations.
You too can get the e-Friends Newsletter in your very own inbox every week by subscribing to it. It's pretty simple. On the lower, left hand side on the first web page, just click on Sign up for the free e-Friends weekly Newsletter. Next, you'll just be asked to provide your email address plus your name and address.
And maybe, unlike me, you'll be able to just save it to read online instead of printing it out. But don't feel bad if you do. Some of us just like the feel of having something in our hands instead of on the computer screen!
Happy reading!

Crime and corruption. Those were the topics of Mayor Edna Jackson's State of the City address that got residents' attention Tuesday night.
Jackson focused on the components of crime: poverty, barriers to employment among the poor, and the challenge of engaging the city's youth.
"One in four people living in poverty is our problem," she told the audience at Savannah's Civic Center.
Jackson said it's the whole city's problem, not just the poor, and not just the City Council.
"We need more jobs, better education, parents raising our kids the right way," she said.
Jackson fired back at critics of the decision to bring in private investigators from out of state to look into police corruption allegations, calling her critics, "those who are either threatened by change, those seeking power during this transition, or those who are attempting to make money off of this process."
"Pay them no attention," she said.
Like the mayor known for her big smile, big hugs and big flower broaches, Jackson's speech was big on positives.
Nnot everyone was satisfied.
"It wasn't as in-depth as I was thinking," Southside resident Brenda Roberts said. "I wanted to hear, I guess, some more statistics and details."
Other listeners wondered why five months after former police chief Willie Lovett's abrupt retirement, the city hasn't started a search for a permanent chief.
"Our current chief is an interim chief," downtown resident Rolfe Glover said. "And that's always a hard position to make real change from."
The mayor told her audience that City Manager Stephanie Cutter will decide when to start the search and that Cutter wants to finish cleaning house at Metro first, "to leave no stone unturned."
Interim Chief Julie Tolbert said she doesn't want the job but will stay on until a permanent chief is found. Tolbert is ready to move forward, concentrating on policing the streets instead of policing the department.
"We all want to believe that our officers are doing the right thing," she said. "But that's not always the case. And when situations arise where we have to take action, we have to take action."

Foundation News » Retinitis Pigmentosa
Reducing Inflammation to Save Vision
Oct. 5, 2012 – If you burn yourself, bump your head, get bitten by an insect or twist an ankle, the injured area becomes inflamed. While the swelling and redness associated with inflammation can be uncomfortable and disconcerting, they are actually a good thing – your body's attempt to protect, repair and heal itself. At the site of the injury, your body is increasing blood flow and engaging immune-system proteins and cells to remove damaged tissue, fight infection and initiate healing. It's a complex, yet elegant, process.
However, chronic inflammation can be destructive and is associated with a number of disabling conditions, including cardiovascular disease, arthritis and Alzhemier's disease. The body's sustained attempt to heal itself ultimately leads to significant collateral damage.
Two recent scientific papers from a research group in Japan provide insightful reports on chronic inflammation related to retinitis pigmentosa (RP). In one paper, the researchers describe how they sampled fluids from the eyes of people affected with RP and determined that 37 percent had chronic inflammation. Furthermore, increased inflammation correlated with decreased visual function. Younger patients, in whom the disease was more active, tended to have more inflammation.
In the second paper, the investigators reported they were able to significantly reduce inflammation and the loss of photoreceptors – the cells that provide vision – by treating mice with RP with a drug called N-acetylcysteine (NAC).
In the United States, Dr. Peter Campochiaro, a scientist from Johns Hopkins University, is evaluating NAC and related drugs as potential treatments for humans with RP İlk gün gerekli ustaları toparlayıp yapmaları gerekeni anlatarak çalışma ve iş planı yaptık ve çalışmak porno yatak odasından garip garip sesler geldiğini fark ettim sikiş 2 yıldır elime yarak deymedi her yanım yanıyor dedi tek umudu bendim.

His goal is to move NAC into a human study.
NAC is widely known for its anti-oxidative properties, which reduce the stress on the body caused by disease and injury. It is also used to treat acetaminophen overdose.
Retinal researchers have also studied other commonly prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, for treating retinal degenerations, but those haven't worked.
You can naturally help prevent chronic inflammation throughout your body by not smoking, eating lots of colorful fruits and vegetables and getting exercise and rest.

A picture of two pit bulls posted on Facebook has causing quite a stir, especially among animal lovers. One of the dogs is dead, and the other refuses to leave her side.
The female pit bull was hit sometime Friday night, and lay dead on the side of a Phoenix road. The male pit bull wouldn't leave her, so a nearby business set out food and water.
This is the heartbreaking picture that was shared over 200 times on Facebook over the weekend.
He stayed with there nuzzling her and lying nearby until the city came to remove her Saturday morning. It was 14 and half hours.
The story moved one Facebook user in Chicago to tears.
"I was really upset," said Karyn Aspan by phone.
Aspan heard about the story from a friend in Phoenix and has been on a crusade on Facebook ever since. Her major complaint was that the two dogs were left by the side of the street for 14 hours. They deserve better, she says.
"I was so outraged I even called the mayor's office and had posted on Facebook in hopes that the mayor's office would be bombarded with calls."
Animal Care and Control believes the dog has an owner because of the harness on it.
"We picked up this other dog and took him to our east valley shelter where he will stay until the 23rd," said Rodrigo Silva of Animal Care and Control. "Right now it doesn't look like he has any behavioral or health problems."
The male pit bull will be put up for adoption in 72 hours if it doesn't show any health or behavioral problems.
Karyn Aspan continues her crusade all the way from Chicago. She wants to make sure that pit bull gets a good home.

A Rockford-based company helps one northern Illinois police department get rid of its guns. These are firearms that used to belong to other people not the police. The Woodstock Police Department made the trek to Rockford to get more than 150 firearms crushed down.
"Some of them are criminal cases, a majority of these were weapons of family member members who turned in weapons of deceased family members that they didn't want the weapons anymore so we will take those firearms and destroy them for them," says Sergeant Joshua Fourdyce, Woodstock Police Department.
The police says it has to follow special procedures to destroy weapons. Not only was there a team on site to observe the process, they also videotaped it.
"There are some things that we take in that we can appropriate or auction but in the case of weapons like this it makes more sense to just destroy them so they don't wind up in the wrong hands," says Sgt. Fourdyce.
Behr says the process includes crushing the guns in what's called an alligator shear. Then the pieces will head to Behr's South Beloit location to be put through a car shredder. The final pieces end up about the size of a silver dollar and then they are recycled.
"What we are doing today this product will probably in the next 30 days be driving around on a new Dodge Dart," says Jim Barbagallo, Behr senior account executive.
The company also provided gun destruction for the DEA, ATF and other local law enforcement agencies.

Residents say their East Lubbock neighborhood is relatively quiet, except for the occasional passing train. "I've lived down here for seven years and I've never seen anything like this," says neighbor, Penny Hastings. But Monday night was a different story.
Police say Robert Lane and Johnny Lee Smith were having a heated argument at the starlight apartments when Lane allegedly pulled out a gun shooting Smith twice in the torso. Lane then fled the scene, but returned 15 minutes later turning himself in.
"It's an on going investigation. The suspect had left the scene and returned to the scene last (Monday) night so we did interview him," says Cpl. Bill Carter, an Investagator with the Lubbock Police Department. Authorities say Lane has not been charged and told police he shot smith in self defense.
NewsChannel 11 found Lane at his apartment on Tuesday gathering his belongings. He did not wish to comment about the altercation. Police are still sorting out conflicting statements from Lane and eye witnesses.
"He is claiming something different and since we have conflicting stories we will present the case to the District Attorney's office for review and then present to the Grand Jury. But whether this case is ruled a murder or not, residents are stunned their neighbor and close friend is gone.
"He was a quiet person. He fixed TV's and electronics for people in the neighborhood," says Hastings.
"He's gonna be missed and in my heart you know," says neighbor, Bobby Reed.
If police rule this a homicide it will be the fourth in Lubbock so far this year. The second in East Lubbock. The first homicide in East Lubbock is still under investigation. It happened back in January when 78-year-old Ms. Davis, also known by neighbors as the 'Candy Lady', was murdered.
If you have any information on either of these investigations. You are urged to call Crime Line at (806) 741-1000.

KEITH COUNTY, Neb. -- What happens when you have an old combine you have no use for? You probably end up at the Keith County Fair, more specifically the combine demolition derby at the county fair.
Yes, the 5th annual Combine Derby at the fair in Keith County, Nebraska, saw competitors in their old combines trying to be the last one standing or at least running.
It has become a tradition at the fair as the kick-off for the event.
The fair runs through Sunday. However most of the combines quit running soon after the derby started.

Taxol1 is an effective anticancer drug identified in the 1960s from the bark of the Pacific yew tree, Taxus brevifolia Nutt. This slow-growing tree is native to the temperate northwestern United States and adjacent Canada: its range extends from southern Alaska to northern California and east to Montana. Taxol is also found in small twigs, roots and needles of T. brevifolia and several other Taxus species. A number of these species, including T. x media 'Hicksii', are commercially available from nurseries. They grow faster than the native species and produce useful amounts of Taxol.
Other compounds with a complex ring structure like the one in Taxol, collectively known as "taxanes", are found in many yew species. Although other taxanes do not generally have anticancer activity, the other taxanes may be used for synthesis of Taxol.
Taxanes, like many other secondary plant products, may be synthesized by plants in response to environmental or biotic stress. Environmental stresses such as ultraviolet light, heat or drought may, therefore, enhance taxane biosynthesis. Stressful environmental conditions increase hormones such as abscisic acid (ABA) which affects root growth and plant survival under water-stressed conditions.
Landscape yews thrive in the Snake River plain of eastern Oregon and southwestern Idaho, annually producing large masses of growth. The major objective of this project was to study the effects of water stress on the amount of Taxol or other taxanes and ABA made by the landscape yew, T. x media 'Hicksii', a cultivar with high Taxol content. Water stress could be monitored and controlled effectively in the dry desert climate at the Malheur Experiment Station in Ontario, OR. The shrubs could be managed commercially for repeated harvesting in hedge rows.
Shrubs were supplied with controlled amounts of water from June through August of 1996, 1997 (Shock et al., 1998; Hoffman et al., 1999), and 1998. The amount of taxanes extracted from the experimental shrubs receiving each of three irrigation
1Taxol® is a registered trademark of Bristol-Myers Squibb. Taxol's "generic" name is paclitaxel.
treatments was compared. Soil and plant water potentials and the degree of stomatal closure were compared, and changes in the concentration of ABA were determined.
Another objective of the 1998 trial was to determine whether water stress during the previous summer would reduce the growth of new leaves and thus reduce the harvestable biomass. This report addresses only the research concerning the new leaf growth response to water stress.
Materials and Methods
The new growth on ten branches in each of the middle three shrubs in each plot was measured on June 25. The new growth consisted of twig and leaf growth that occurs in one flush in the spring each year. The production of new leaves is restricted to this single flush of growth.
All other procedures were the same as in 1996 and 1997. Each year minimal, moderate, and severe water stress was applied from June through August. Growth was measured on stems from April through May of 1998 at which time the shrubs were well irrigated.
Results and Discussion
There was no significant difference in new leaf growth between water stress treatments in 1998. The time period during which the new growth occurred was before the start of the 1998 water stress treatments and at a time when any soil moisture differences between treatments from the previous years' trial would have been moderated by winter and spring precipitation. Consequently, the yield of leaf material within 1998's growing season was not affected by water stress. However, whether water stress could reduce the growth of the shrub during the season, such as growth in diameter of the main trunk or roots, is unknown.

C, or even F major will be fine for that. If your guitarist knowns the minor pentatonic shape tell him to do that on the 5th fret. if he chose F major try playing the E chord with a flat 5. (0 on E string and 1 on A string)
if youre not into theory you can always go note by note up the guitar and see which ones you like over those chords

Had this news broke a couple of days ago I would have figured it for an April Fools' joke: apparently Steve Byrne, comedian and star of 'Sullivan & Son,' had his jaw broken by an irate cab driver, forcing production of the multi-camera sitcome to halt for at least six weeks.
TBS' 'Sullivan & Son' released the information that Byrne had "suffered an injury to the face" but refused to offer any information beyond that statement. Inside sources told Deadline about the cab driver and the altercation, as well as the fact that Byrne's jaw will be wired shut for a minimum of skix weeks. Makes it pretty difficult to wisecrack, alas.
'Sullivan & Son' has been in production working on its second season. The series is co-created by Byrne and is about Steve Sullivan (Byrne) who surprises his parents by leaving his high-paying job as a corporate attorney to take over his father's bar in Pittsburgh. Sullivan's father is Irish and his mother is Korean, giving the bar an interesting twist on the traditional Irish-American pub.
TBS remains confident that they will be able to premiere season two of 'Sullivan & Son' at the planned date later this summer and that the time lost due to this unfortunate injury can be made up once production resumes. We'll offer more on this strange story once it becomes available--it seems likely that if there was an altercation with a cab driver, a site like TMZ will do their best to dig up the dirt!
I love Byrne as a standup, his bit on stereotypes is hilarious.
I had really high hopes for Sullivan & Son, but I really didn't like it. I gave up within 4-5 episodes or so.

Although Indianapolis is notorious for being one of the least active teams in free agency each year, they have been on signing frenzy over the last twenty-four hours. Jamaal Anderson and Ernie Sims have joined the Colts and it would not surprise anyone who follows the team if that is the last of the moves the front office would make to acquire external players.
That all changed when head coach Jim Caldwell suggested that the Colts are still prowling through available free agents in an interview with AP Writer Michael Marot.
When asked Tuesday morning if Indy was looking at any more free agents, Caldwell smiled and said: "There's a couple."
Coltzilla will take a look at the players at positions where the Colts may need an upgrade, or those players who have been rumored to be in discussions with the Colts.
Safety – Donte Whitner
With Melvin Bullitt and Antoine Bethea already under contract, the urgent need to acquire another safety has diminished. Still, behind the two starters is a group of unproven, under-experienced, players who are a complete shot in the dark for in-camp development. Enter a veteran like Donte Whitner who should be available at a reasonable price and who would give the team a security blanket at either safety position. Whitner is a tackling machine, 140 tackles in 2010, who is better suited to play against the run. He is not a top tier safety like Eric Weddle, Quintin Mikell, or Dawan Landry but would help make up for the loss of Bob Sanders.
Defensive Tackle – Tommie Harris
It was rumored early in the NFL lockout that a likely landing spot for free agent defensive tackle Tommie Harris was in Indianapolis. There are a lot of reasons an acquisition like Harris makes sense, and he would fit right into the mold of the players the Colts have targeted so far. At one point in time, he was declared the best defensive tackle in the NFL but he has since fallen off and had to struggle through injuries. If he can somehow turn all of that around with a new team, it would be a coup. Harris has the talent to move around on the Colts defensive line and, if on the top of his game, would be a Week 1 starter. If his health and performance struggles continue, he would still provide solid depth. He is currently rumored to be meeting with the New England Patriots for a workout.
Defensive Tackle – Pat Williams
Although Pat Williams is the oldest defensive player in the NFL, his performance is still strong enough to believe that he would be an immediate upgrade for the Colts run defense. He would not be able to stay on the field for tons of snaps and would be best used only in sure-fire run down situations but his presence would give the Colts defensive line something it hasn't had since Corey Simon joined the team for one semi-healthy season. Williams cannot have a reason to return to football that is greater than 1) love of the game and 2) a desire to win a championship. His other option is to return to his friends in Minnesota but in March of 2011 he stated that he did not intend to return and planned to finish his career elsewhere.
Guard – Brian Waters
Although Waters is 34-year-old, he is still playing at a high level and would give the Colts a solid starting-caliber guard for a year or two at least. Even if he is a stop-gap, Waters would likely be willing to consider an offer from a contender like the Colts to chase a championship as he enters the twilight of his career. There are numerous guard options, most of which are already pass protection strong players, in Indianapolis but the team who can sign Waters for a generous discount will bolster their offensive line. With the departure of Charlie Johnson to the Minnesota Vikings, a player like Waters could do a lot to secure the inside, even if he only plays a rotational or mentor role to younger players in camp.
Cornerback – Carlos Rogers
Although Rogers had some injury issues in 2010 and 2007, when healthy he is a starting-caliber cornerback who would immediately move into the nickel role and could push to start alongside Jerraud Powers. How much Rogers would demand to sign with a contender team is not entirely clear so that could keep a deal from being a possibility for Indianapolis. In any case, assuming that re-signing Kelvin Hayden to a better deal is out of the question, Rogers is the most prolific cornerback still available.
Feel free to discuss these free agents or those who were left out of the list. If Caldwell does have his eye on a couple of free agents and if they are not as high profile as the group listed above, who are the under the radar guys Indy's front office may have in mind?

RSL is also trading Espindola and Olave to RBNY for "a large amount of allocation money," according to the report by Ives Galarcep.
Will Johnson spent a season in Blackburn's youth academy before returning to the US. He was claimed by the Fire as a discovery player. After 6 appearances in 2005, he earned a one year contract with Heerenveen of the Dutch Eredivisie. He also went on loan with newly promoted De Graafschap for 2007-08 season.
After that season, he returned to the MLS and the Fire, who immediately traded him to RSL, where he's made 111 appearances since mid-2008. He scored the MLS goal of the year in 2008 and made the all-star team in 2009. He's also appeared 31 times for the Canadian National Team, scoring 3 goals.

We all know that BSU will beat ASU handily. The Broncos will no doubt come out with a huge chip on their shoulders as a result of the blatant disrespect the BCS has shown them this year. With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to start a post wherein folks could give their best prediction as to the score of this- well- bowl game.
Therefore, it is my considered opinion that the outcome will be thus:
BSU wins BIG 48-10 ( and the entire Pac 12 will feel it as well)

Bulloch County sheriff's deputies were called to RC Machine and Tool on Mill Creek Rd. on Jan. 25 to investigate a metal theft. The investigation linked Roy Ashton Wilson, 27, of Brooklet, to the crime and arrest warrants were issued.
Deputies responded to another section of Mill Creek Rd. on Jan. 27 for the theft of a trailer and several pieces of farm equipment.
On Jan. 30, Wilson turned himself in to authorities. He admitted to both the RC Machine and Tool theft and the trailer and farm equipment theft.
Deputies located the stolen trailer at a residence in the 4000 block of Old River Rd. South, where it had already been repainted. Authorities arrested Jimmie Joe Bath Jr., 53, of Brooklet, the individual in possession of the trailer. He was charged with felony theft by receiving stolen property.
Authorities are continuing to investigate other crimes that Wilson might be responsible for.

Back to Port au Prince
by Chris Zamani, M.D.
By such descriptions one may assume that I am in Capetown or Amsterdam, perhaps Hong Kong or Rio de Janeiro. In fact I am in Toussaint L'Ouverture International Airport in Port au Prince, Haiti. I remember four months ago when I came to Haiti for the first time, then only one month after the devastation of the earthquake, and my departure experience was very different from today. Then I spent the entire day sitting on a curb outside of the airport waiting for the uncertain possibility of boarding a U.S. military evacuation plane that would take me back to Miami.
Naseema McElroy, a registered nurse, and I have spent the last week providing medical care to about 230 people at five different mobile clinic sites around the city, including a primary school, a tent city, in the hills around Port au Prince, at a women's development organization and in Cite Soleil.
Now, it was back to business as usual: diarrhea, anemia, genital infections, skin infections and complications from chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure. We were well equipped to deal with the short-term issues like anemia and infectious problems, as we had brought antibiotics, anti-fungals, steroid skin creams, vitamins and iron pills. Conversely, we were ill equipped to help people with chronic problems that would require regular doctor visits: hypertension, diabetes, chronic pain from long days of manual labor, asthma and deteriorating eyesight amongst our older patients. The chronic medical problems that we encountered are symptoms of a larger problem, which brings me back to poverty, insecurity and exploitation.
Again one may find that the priorities of the Haitian political establishment are not so different from those of the U.S. political establishment under the direction of President Barack Obama. As a doctor in a county public hospital, I can tell you that the problem of the 70-year-old man with no access to medicine for blood pressure is a story that I encounter often.
Dr. Chris Zamani, a practicing physician, can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The bulk of the week 11 NFL schedule is upon us following Thursday's wild Broncos-Jets game. Tim Tebow and the Broncos defense provided the bulk of the fantasy scoring in that game, as Tebow continues to develop into a solid fantasy option. His rushing numbers are such that they make up for his struggles in completing passes.
Week 11 features some significant bye weeks New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Houston and Indianapolis. The big question mark is for folks with Drew Brees sidelined. We are fast approaching fantasy football playoff season, which means teams battling for playoff spots need every man up this week. If you are without Brees or Ben Roethlisberger, or you've lost Matt Schaub for the season, there are some intriguing options for this week.
Alex Smith, 49ers: Over the first nine games of the season, Smith has not put up particularly great numbers. He's had some solid fantasy days, but he hasn't blown up to any particular degree. This week could be his best chance at a monster game. Smith and the 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have won two straight but their pass defense is not particularly good. If the 49ers can continue their strong play, Smith could be in line for a solid performance.
Carson Palmer, Raiders: We've reached the point where Palmer is no longer a sleeper. It is not always going to be pretty, but if you have Palmer on your bench or if he is sitting on waivers, he is a very intriguing option. This week he faces a brutal Minnesota Vikings pass defense that lost one of its top playmakers in Antoine Winfield. Palmer is without Darren McFadden and Jacoby Ford, but Michael Bush remains a beast and Palmer has developed a nice chemistry with rookie Denarius Moore.
Matt Moore, Dolphins: The Dolphins have been playing some solid football lately and welcome Buffalo to South Beach. The Bills should win this game, but it could turn into a bit of a shootout, which means Matt Moore could benefit. It's a roll of the dice with Moore, but he's got some decent upside.
Here are the top 15 quarterback projections for today. You can view all the projections at numberFire.com. For more on fantasy football, check out Fake Teams. Follow us on twitter @sbnationfantasy.


text: Hi guys, I must say, with family and work I have to pick my games for the weekend and usually that means that I watch the NFL. I did get a chance to watch some of the ND vs. Michigan State game this past weekend and was rather intrigued by Eric Olsen on the ND OL. He was playing center...but has played most of his college career at G. For those in the know...how does he project into the NFL? He seemed a little nasty..which I liked. He has multiple position capabilities, and with Saturday getting older and the OL being an issue I was just curious. I know LT is more of a need, but I just wanted to throw this out there. I love looking at these young kids and trying to predict who will make a splash in the NFL!! thanks.

The empire has put in place the pseudo-legal "laws" that it needs to repress dissidents within America. It will use these "laws" and executive orders in order to quell restiveness and resistance among Americans. The reason for the domestic suppression is because the empire cannot expand overseas if its domestic population is not under firm control. The driving force in domestic suppression is the goal of world empire. This is why lovers and supporters of liberty should strongly condemn all of the many U.S. actions to expand empire.
The idea that I've just expressed is not widely known, much less accepted. So I'll repeat it again. The U.S. wants a world empire and is actively trying to achieve that aim. That's its number one priority. In order to achieve that, it needs a cooperative, compliant, and productive population and one that does not resist that aim. That is why the government has been putting measures in place that are repressive and destroy judicial rights.
According to an Iranian analyst who specializes in Russia, the Russians now understand what the U.S. is after. It has taken them a while for this to penetrate. He writes of the Russians
"Russian analysts maintain that the current foreign policy of the United States is based on two theories: 'ultimate realism,' and 'new liberalism.' As a result, the Americans actually believe that world countries are simply divided into the United States' friends and enemies. Hostile countries, therefore, should be weakened and their presence in global and regional strategic arenas should be limited and even suppressed in political, economic and cultural terms.
"The new liberalism also claims that all wars break out between non-democratic states. Therefore, all countries should go through an American style democratization process and if needed, military means such as preventive war, can be used to achieve that purpose.
"As a result of the above arguments, Russia believes that the current political developments in the Middle East and North Africa are steered by the United States. Moscow firmly believes that a new wave of the world order has been initiated by the United States in order to create a new version of the past unipolar world system. The main targets of this wave, Moscow maintains, include North Africa, the Middle East, Iran, Eurasia, and finally China and Russia."
The U.S. supports radical Muslims and al-Qaeda operations when they stir up trouble in Muslim populations in regions near and in Russia so as to weaken Russia.
Readers will recognize that the doctrines described as applicable to the U.S. foreign policy are the Bush Doctrine and associated Bush and neoconservative ideas. The Obama administration has continued these policies. It has expanded them, innovated within them, and intensified them.
9/11 was a first class disaster for America's future due to the political forces it has unleashed and facilitated. Bin Laden is dead but he is getting his revenge as the U.S. government destroys American values in the name of those very values. I cannot think of a more insidious subversion.
The current election offers no choice on this central issue, which is not even seen as a central issue.
End the Empire.8:18 am on August 18, 2012 Email Michael S. Rozeff

Seven priority road projects in Charlottesville and Albemarle County come with a half-billion dollar price tag. One of them already proposes extending the Route 29 Western Bypass before it's even built.
To make those seven road projects a reality, the city and county want funding from the Virginia Department of Transportation and the feds over the next 20 years.
Putting down pavement isn't a penny-project done in a day. The price tag comes by the millions in times marked by decades.
"We always have to work within a long-range budget for transportation improvements," Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission Director Steve Williams said.
Williams is adding up the costs to build and maintain seven major road projects proposed by the Charlottesville-Albemarle Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).
He said, "We'll be trying to balance the benefits and costs of various types of transportation improvements to get the most efficient set of improvements for the region."
One proposal is to extend Berkmar Drive to Hollymead. Williams estimates that would cost nearly $57 million. There's already an idea to extend the still unbuilt Route 29 Western Bypass north to Dickerson Road, priced at more than $132 million.
"We know, if that turns out to be a priority, it's going to take 20 or 30 years to get that project done," said Williams.
The bypass would allow a makeover for the busy 29 corridor. The Boulevard Concept would add pedestrian crossings along Route 29 from Hydraulic Road to the Airport. It would also take one of these lanes away to be a bus express lane and add bike lanes to make this Albemarle County's Main Street.
Widening Route 250 to six lanes at Pantops has a $48.2 million price tag, and adding one lane in each direction on the Route 250-29 Bypass from Barracks Road to the interstate would cost $86 million to build and maintain.
Williams said, "Often, that maintenance cost falls primarily on the local governments."
Albemarle County Supervisor Duane Snow says knowing the costs today save the county from playing catch-up down the road. "We're told all the time, there's less and less money for roads," he said. "So, what's going to happen 10, 20 years down the road, at this point, I don't know."
The Eastern Connector linking Route 20 at Pantops to Route 29 is also on the list of proposed projects. It would cost up to $145 million.
The MPO Policy Board meets Wednesday to review these estimates. That will help the board narrow down which projects to pursue in the Long Range Transportation Plan.

History of Bonanza Farms
As with the history of westward expansion in America, the history of the bonanza farm begins with the coming of the railroad. In the mid-1860's, a group of entrepreneurs aspired to build a railroad across the northern territory to the Pacific Ocean. With millions of acres in government land grants and financing from Jay Cooke and his banking institution, the newly-formed Northern Pacific Railroad began construction. By 1872, the NP had crossed the Red River, entering present-day North Dakota.
Unfortunately, Jay Cooke went bankrupt a year later sending the NP, and the entire country, into a financial panic. To raise the money needed to continue the railroad, the NP allowed stockholders who held deflated stock to buy large tracks of land at a rate competitive with land sold by the government.
One man who took NP's offer was J. F. Downing, an attorney and businessman from Eric, Pennsylvania. Although no acreage figure has been determined in establishing the farm size necessary to constitute a bonanza farm, Downing's landholdings in North Dakota exceeded 9,000 acres, which certainly qualified his farm for bonanza status.
Bagg Bonanza Farm
Bonanza farming was established in the Mooreton, North Dakota area when F. A. Bagg joined his uncle's (J. F. Downing) enterprise in 1886. Mr. Bagg spent his first year on the Downing Farm working as a carpenter and field hand for $20 per month plus room and board. The superintendent of the farm left in 1887, and Mr. Bagg was offered, and accepted, the position.
Upon the death of Mr. Downing in 1913, Mr. Bagg inherited a quarter interest of the farm's holdings. In 1915, he moved his inheritance, which included land, buildings and machinery, one mile from the Downing farmstead and began his own bonanza farm.
Bonanza Farms of Richland County
Bonanza farms in the Mooreton community were commonplace in the late 1800s. The town was named in honor of Hugh Moore, who owned the Antelope Farm containing 13,200 acres in the Mooreton area. The Adam's, or Fairview Farm, located south of Mooreton, had over 9,000 acres under cultivation.
One of the largest bonanzas in the area was the Dwight farm, owned by the Dwight Farm and Land Company and headed by Congressman John W. Dwight of Dryden, New York. One of the major stockholders in his company was John Miller, North Dakota's first governor. Miller became president of the company in 1896, the same year he founded the John Miller Company, a grain commission firm in Duluth, Minnesota. Eventually, the company owned 27,000 acres in Richland County and 32,000 acres in Steele County.

If you've been in Moss Point lately there's no doubt you've seen several eye catching wall paintings showcased around town. The murals are part of a post-Katrina grant to help revitalize the town and celebrate its beauty.
When folks ride into Moss Point they will now be greeted with colorful, creative murals.
"The inspiration was recovering from Katrina," Artist Bill Nelson said.
All the art work was done by local artist Bill Nelson. The city hired the Moss Point resident through a $28,000 workforce grant to paint four murals.
"The first one I did was the White Egret taking flight. To me that was Moss Point being on the bottom of Katrina and building back," Nelson said.
Two murals recently went up on these public buildings and the other two on a local business and they focus on the city's scenic beauty.
"One of them is the purple irises that grow in the marsh. The public also wanted an alligator, so I got some different photos from that," said Nelson about the murals.
But the favorite, of among many, is this majestic train painting in the city.
"It showed that Moss Point does have industry," Nelson said.
"It is truly breathtaking. I truly feel the train is coming through Moss Point," resident Linda Walsh said.
Resident Linda Walsh said when the city puts up stunning murals; it adds more character to the city and keeps local artists employed.
"In Moss Point, we have so many artists. People don't realize what talent we have here," Walsh said.
Walsh and Nelson hope the art work will get more drivers to slow down and see what else the city has to offer
"I hope this inspires people to take flight with Moss Point or bloom like the flowers and say let's put some building up," Nelson said.
"We have the beautiful water here. How many cities have water in their downtown," said Walsh. "You can fish here. Walk here. You can bike here and it is a great area to live. I love it."

If you don't know other parents, learn how to find them, both online and in person.
Infinity and Zebra Stripes

Books on Parenting Gifted Children
Parents of gifted children soon discover that most books on parenting don't seem to apply to their children. These parents need books specifically about parenting gifted children. Here are ten of the best books available. They range from beginner books with basic information to more detailed books.
When Your Child Needs a Counselor
We would all like to live a perfect life, one where our children have all their needs met and are happy, healthy, and secure. Unfortunately, that kind of life is not the kind of life many of us lead. Instead, we may find ourselves needing to seek a therapist or counselor to help.
Coping with the Isolation of Gifted Parenting
Being the parent of a gifted child isn't easy, especially when you find yourself feeling isolated and alone with few other parents who understand the kinds of issues you face.
How to Start a Parent Group
Are you interested in starting a group for parents of gifted children but don't know how to begin? You must consider several factors, including the kind of focus you want for your group (support or advocacy), the format for your meetings, and a place to hold them.
State Gifted Associations
One of the best places to go for resources on gifted children and gifted education is your state's gifted organization. Most states have them, and those that don't have someone in their Department of Education who is in charge of gifted education. Find contact information for your state.
State-by-State Gifted Education Policies and Legislation

Many state gifted associations sponsor an annual conference, but other conferences take place across the country. They can be expensive, but then many also have a special parent session that is either free or relatively inexpensive. Here's a list of upcoming conferences.
