Can you answer these questions (Ask a question):
- Does anyone experience heart palpitations causedby their acid reflux ?
I have had acid reflux/Gerd for 4 years + Was not believed that symptoms were real for a while as had no heartburn and a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia which even now some medics think is imaginary...it's NOT!!! Following a demeester score of 45 ( very high confirmation of acid reflux) and discovery of a large hiatal hernia, ( a classic physical cause of acid reflux) I had hernia repair operation and LINX anti reflux surgery. Throughout the four years a major symptom of my acid reflux were heart palpatations. They started at the same time I started with reflux and cleared up after the surgery. I have been reflux free palpitation free and antacid free for four months. then I was put on Gabapentin for back spasm and the reflux returned along with the palpitations. Medics keep insisting this is just anxiety yet eat a food that gives me reflux also starts the palps which is the indicator of the reflux as I do not have heartburn. Comes on when relaxing and eating watching tv ( no anxiety present) and when I am sleeping peacefully ( no anxiety present) my heart wakes me up and fires off into tachycardia. Recently a doctor has said it is now known that acid reflux irritates the nerves in the solar plexus area and that triggers the palps. Anyone else experienced this? Are there any studies on it at all? Thanks all.
- I was jut diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis. i called my doctor's office today to ask what otc pain reliever i could take for joint pain. the nurse said i should take only tylenol. is this correct?
Information on the web says Tylenol is known to cause autoimmune hepatitis. I am concerned that my doctor's nurse had instructed me to take it. I was hoping it would be safe to take Alive.
- What are the withdrawal symptoms of getting off dal mane?

Thanks!!

Have regular vision exams & never had any problems. In fact just got new glasses about 4 months ago! I plan to discontinue this med & am hoping these symptoms go away along with it.

- The zoloft/vyvanse concoction ruined my life.
I started taking these drugs about two months ago. I am diagnosed ADHD by a psychiatrist. I received these medications from a doctor whom I know and is married to a friend my wife. She, the doctor, gave them to me from her personal medications in a plastic baggy. I was given loose instructions for taking these on a piece of paper. I was never given the paperwork with warning signs. 10 days after starting these medications, I attacked my wife and am now separated. I am barred from seeing her and my daughter by means of a Victims Protective Order. I am a normally nonviolent person. Most who know me call me a peacemaker...a pacifist. I am still horrified by the events of that night. 15 seconds changed my life forever. I hope and pray my story helps others. Don't be naïve, as I was, when given medications. Ask questions.
- Avoid lisinopril or any ace inhibitor
This was the only drug I was taking other than low-dose aspirin 3x/week.
Within 2 days I began coughing, as though something was deep in my lungs; became long severe coughing fits than threw out my back, sore all over. Then began runny nose, exhaustion, occasional mild chest pain. Not connecting the dots, after a month of this I returned to my dr., who prescribed an antibiotic and inhaler, saying I had asthma! After a week starting feeling worse, sore throat and sore lungs from coughing, in bed from exhaustion.
After reading on-line about identical symptoms from LISINOPRIL, I immediately stopped it; now, 2 weeks later I am beginning to feel better -- cough much better. I am hoping I will be one of the lucky ones who does not have the cough continue. By the way, this drug reduced my bp from 140/100 to 110/80 BUT I'd rather have high bp than take this poison.
Now I learn than many deaths have resulted from use of Lisinopril. Had this drug caused my death, no one would know my story as I have no relatives to tell it; am assuming many unreported have died and of course are not able to go on-line and tell their story post-death!
All I can do is ask WHY is this drug allowed to be sold -- even stranger, in my case the drugstore is giving this poison away at no charge -- a first; but WHY?
- Loss of menstruation
I stopped using setralin 50 µg in August 2014. (I have been taken it in 1 year for my PMS). After stopping taking the pills my period become very short in september and then desappeard. I got a funcional cyste (about 30 mm) and after 10-days treatment with progesterone I got my period in the end of oktober. Two weeks afterwards I got a spare bleeding and my gyn thought that it my be an ovulation bleeding. Anyhow I have not got my period yet. The samples taken in oktober showed low FSH and heigt E2. The doctor explained that it is posible that stopping setralin could cause this hormonal imbalance. I must say that my periods were not so regular for very long time like during that year with setralin but I had other side effects like problem with concentartion, nussea etc.
For many years ago I was on Zoloft but I had not experienced the same problem. When I started the treatment this time they did not want to give me zoloft (because of the price). I had no choice but i experienced many symptoms from different generica of Setralin. I will meet my doctor om Monday again.

Ford Cuts Carbon Emissions 37 Percent Per Vehicle
Ford probably isn't the first company that comes to mind when you think "green." however, it has become quite the green leader, as some of the numbers below will show.
Just two days ago I was praising Ford for its plugin electric vehicle (PEV) options and its PEV sales. Well, those clean vehicles aren't the only things that are cleaner around Ford headquarters and factories these days. The company notes that it cut the CO2 emissions coming from its facilities by 37% per vehicle from 2000 to 2012. Between 2010 and 2025, it is planning a 30% reduction in emissions.
It's not at the level of Google or IKEA, but it's nice to see that considerable progress is being made even without a US price on carbon.
"Ford's work to reduce CO2 emissions is outlined in Ford's 14th annual Sustainability Report issued today," the company noted in a news release put out today.
"Already, total CO2 emissions at Ford's global facilities have dropped by 4.65 million metric tons, or 47 percent since 2000. Ford also delivered on its commitment to reduce U.S. facility emissions by 10 percent per vehicle produced between 2002 and 2012, as part of an Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers program. And vehicle tailpipe emissions on a per vehicle basis have dropped 16 percent since 2007 as new vehicles such as Ford C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid have become available."
It's good to see such a large company is taking going green seriously… even if its products are leading contributors to global warming and other types of pollution (I guess it wouldn't be fair to expect Ford to commit business suicide).
I guess this is why Ford has shot up to #2 greenest brand on the 2013 Best Global Brands Report.
For more details about Ford's green focus and achievements, check out the full Ford news release or the "Green" section of its website.

Vanuatu Fishery sector overview (from NFSO)
NFSO National Fishery Sector Overview - provide a comprehensive overview of the fisheries and aquaculture sector for each country featured, including economic and demographic information, structure of the industry, development prospects, sector management and status and trends....more
Commodity balance (2000):
Vanuatu is a Y-shaped archipelago of about 80 islands, 67 of which are inhabited, and twelve of which are considered major. The islands plus associated reefs lie between latitudes 13-21°S and longitudes 166-172°E in the western Pacific Ocean. The archipelago measures approximately 850 km in length.
Compared to other Pacific Island countries, inshore marine areas are not extensive in Vanuatu. Inner reef areas are limited to narrow fringing reefs and the area covered by mangroves is quite small.
In addition to the national government, which has overall responsibility for fisheries development and management, Vanuatu's six provinces are administered by local governments which have considerable autonomy in fisheries matters.
Vanuatu shares maritime borders with New Caledonia, Vanuatu, and Fiji. The undisputed portion on Vanuatu's exclusive economic zone covers 680,000 sq km. The Mathew and Hunter area, disputed with New Caledonia, is about 190,00 sq km.
Marine fisheries
Vanuatu's fisheries resources are exploited at the subsistence, artisanal and industrial levels.
Subsistence activities include coastal line and net fishing targeting demersal and small pelagic reef and lagoon fish, as well as reef gleaning and collection of shellfish and other invertebrates. Most of the catch is for home consumption or family distribution, but where markets or handling and distribution facilities exist some part may be sold. The subsistence fishery is becoming increasingly cash-oriented around urban areas, with varying portions of the catch being sold.
Trochus and beche-de-mer are also collected in a low-technology, labour-intensive manner characteristic of subsistence fishing. However these species are sold and form a valuable portion Vanuatu's of marine export products. About 100 tonnes of trochus are harvested annually, most of which is processed into button blanks in the nation's capital, Port Vila.
Artisanal fishing with bottom hand lines primarily targets deep-water snappers and groupers, while hand-lining and gill-netting target shallow reef fish species. Annual production of deep-bottom, reef and lagoon fish was about 110 to 140 tonnes in the 1990s. Exports of trochus (raw and processed) in the 1990s ranged from 25.4 t in 1994 to 84.3 t in 1996.
The deep-bottom fishery was established as a result of government initiatives following a series of fishing surveys of deep reef slope resources in the 1970s which indicated the presence of commercially significant stocks of deep-water snappers and groupers. In 1982 the Village Fisheries Development Project (VFDP) was established to encourage rural fishers to enter this fishery. Under the project rural fishing groups were provided with subsidised fishing craft, equipment and fuel, soft loans, training, and technical and marketing assistance. Typical craft used in the fishery were small (5-8 m) wooden skiffs powered by 15-25 hp outboard motors. Collection and distribution systems were established to transport catches to Port Vila, the capital, and other urban centres for sale. The main method of transportation was by air, since inter-island shipping in Vanuatu is inadequate for the purpose of fish marketing.
During the 1980s and early 1990s the fishery produced an average of about 50 t/ year, with a peak of 82.5 t in 1985. The fishery became a significant source of rural income in certain islands, but this was only achieved at a significant cost to government, which used technical assistance funds to subsidise many aspects of the fishery for over 15 years. Eventually donor support expired and most of the rural fishing centres were closed down. The fishery has continued to operate in the islands of Efate, Espiritu Santo and Malekula where fish transportation and other operational costs permit the fishery to be commercially viable. In the mid-1990s the total production from the fishery in these areas was about 50 t. According to the Fisheries Department, about 20 t of deep-bottom fish was landed in 1999, of which about one tonne was exported.
Other approaches have been used to attempt to improve the economics of small-scale fishing operations in Vanuatu. Principal among these has been the deployment of fish aggregation devices (FADs) in coastal waters close to both rural and urban areas to increase the catchability of tunas and allied species. FADs were originally deployed to improve the availability of bait for bottom-fishing operations as well as to generate increased catches. However they have only proved to be a viable fisheries development tool in areas close to urban centres, since the economic constraints of high fish transport costs apply even more to FAD-caught fish, which tend to be low-value, than to bottom fish. Thus the only locations where FAD deployment can be considered cost-effective are around the towns of Port Vila and Luganville. In these areas small troll fisheries for FAD-associated fish are active. It was the intention of the Fisheries Department to commence a 3-year FAD project in 1999 using UNDP funds, but the donor did not approve the project.
In Port Vila, the FADs are heavily used by sport-fishing operators targeting billfish, tunas and other large coastal pelagic species. Eight sport-fishing charter vessels ranging in size from 6-12 m operate from Port Vila. The sport-fishing industry relies on tourism for its customer base.
A small fishery and export operation for aquarium species is based on Efate, and involves four companies. Ornamental fish and 'live rock' (coral fragments coated with micro-organisms, used to condition marine aquaria) are collected around Efate and air-freighted to overseas markets. According to the Fisheries Department, the value of aquarium fish exported in 1999 and 2000 was about US$38,000 and US$15,000, respectively.
A fledgling domestic tuna longline fishery operated sporadically in the 1990s. The fishery involved small (10-15 m) vessels which were either locally-owned or operate under charter arrangement with local or joint-venture companies. One vessel operated in 1995, landing an estimated 24 t of catch, and two more vessels became operative in 1996. In 1999 no locally-based longliners were operating.
Industrial tuna fishing by Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean fleets has taken place in Vanuatu's waters since the mid-1950s, mostly targeting albacore tuna. A Japanese company, Mitsui, established the South Pacific Fishing Company (SPFC) at a base at Palekula on Espiritu Santo in 1957. By 1983 20 Taiwanese longliners were based at Palekula targeting albacore in the Tasman Sea between April and August and fishing in Vanuatu waters from September to March. However in 1977 these vessels changed their bases of operation to Fiji and American Samoa as a result of fishery developments in those areas.
Between 1974 and 1979 Japanese pole-and-line vessels also fished in Vanuatu and landed catches at the SPFC base. Fishing was concentrated in the area to the north and west of Espiritu Santo and catches in the order of 300 - 1,600 t/year are recorded, with an average of 5 to 8 t per vessel-day.
In 1989 Taiwanese vessel operators reached agreement with the Government of Vanuatu to recommence fishing in Vanuatu waters in return for a fixed annual fishing access fee of US$5,000/vessel. According to the Fisheries Department, in 1999 there were 65 vessels licensed under bilateral arrangements to fish in Vanuatu waters. For this, the Vanuatu government received US$70,000 in fees.
Under the terms of the US multilateral tuna treaty, which provides for access by US purse seine vessels to the EEZs of those island states party to the agreement, US purse seine vessels may fish in Vanuatu's EEZ. In reality, however, purse-seining conditions in Vanuatu's EEZ are generally poor and fishing effort by this fleet has been slight, with no catches being reported in recent years. Despite the lack of catch, Vanuatu still receives fee payments, which in 1999 amounted to about US$148,000.
It is estimated that in 1999 the combined longline and purse seine tuna catch in Vanuatu waters was about 118 tonnes.
Vanuatu's Maritime Act establishes Vanuatu as an open registry nation for ships. The Vanuatu International Shipping Registry as of September 2001 had 524 vessels of which 99 (18.9%) were fishing vessels. Very few of these vessels have ever fished in Vanuatu. A number of Taiwanese and US seiners are registered in Vanuatu, fish in the Pacific Islands region, but are based elsewhere. The 1999 tuna catches in the Pacific Islands region by these Vanuatu-flagged seiners was 26,000 tonnes, of which almost 60% was caught in the waters of Kiribati.
The employment of Vanuatu crew on foreign fishing vessels was quite important a decade ago but has declined recently. In 1990 over 400 Vanuatu men worked on Taiwanese and Korean vessels, but by the late 1990s only about 120 were so employed. Competition with crews of other nationalities (mainly Asian) is thought to be a major factor in this decline.
Inland fisheries
Inland fisheries in Vanuatu are limited and essentially carried out for subsistence purposes. They involve the occasional capture of small quantities of freshwater prawns and eels in Vanuatu's few rivers and streams. They are of little commercial significance.
Past aquaculture efforts in Vanuatu have included attempts at raising the oysterCrassostrea gigasandC.echinata, rabbitfish, macrobrachium shrimp, and tilapia.
In mid-1999 the Fisheries Department carried out some spawning trials of three specieis of giant clams. In the same year the Department brought seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezi) from Fiji for some experimental culture.
According to Fisheries Department records, 275 pieces of "cultured coral" valued at US$1,165 was exported from Vanuatu in 2000.
Utilization of the catch
The majority of Vanuatu's catch is taken by the subsistence fishery, and is landed and locally consumed throughout the archipelago. In those areas served by domestic air freight services, by one of the two private fish collection vessels currently operating out of Port Vila, or within road access of Port Vila or Luganville, a proportion of the subsistence catch may be sold.
Most commercially-sold fish ultimately finds its way to fish trading and retail outlets in Port Vila. Consumers of the product are private households and the numerous hotels and restaurants catering to Vanuatu's busy tourist trade. The preference is for fresh or frozen product and apart from filleting and packing there is little locally-based value-added processing. Some exports of deep bottom snappers and tuna are made to Hawaii, Sydney and New Zealand, but local demand and prices for deep bottom snapper are high and local marketing is almost as profitable as the export trade.
The trochus shells are processed into button blanks at two small factories in Port Vila. The larger factory produced 22 t of button blanks in 1999 with an export value of about US$500,000. The blanks are exported to button factories in Asia and Europe.
The locally-based offshore fishing vessels which occasionally are based in Vanuatu export fish to Australia and Japan as well as sell product to local restaurants and hotels. Catches by foreign-based vessels are rarely landed in Vanuatu. The fish, almost entirely taken by longline gear, is mostly delivered to canneries in Levuka, Fiji and Pago Pago, American Samoa.
There have been several attempts to calculate fish consumption in Vanuatu in recent years. These estimates have ranged from 15.9 to 25.7 kg per person per year. This is lower than in many other Pacific Island countries, mainly because of Vanuatu's relatively large land area and the consequent greater availability of agricultural food products, but nevertheless higher than the world average of about 13 kg/ yr.
Many Vanuatu residents in urban areas, where the cash economy rather than the subsistence lifestyle prevails, prefer fish and would eat more of it if it were available at a price competitive with other protein foods such as imported chicken or domestically-produced beef. However the high costs of marketing of fish, coupled with a strong market based on the affluent tourist hotel and restaurant trade, has resulted in locally-produced fish being priced out of reach of many consumers in Vanuatu. This has been compensated for to some extent by growing imports of low-cost canned and frozen fish, as well as by the consumption of alternative forms of protein.
Economic role of the fishing industry
It has been recently estimated by the Asian Development Bank that the catches of Vanuatu's subsistence and coastal commercial fisheries are worth US$3,974,587 and US$681,801, respectively. It has also been calculated that subsistence and commercial fishing is responsible for about 2.2 per cent of Vanuatu's GDP.
The 1993 National Agriculture Census includes the following fisheries-relevant employment information:
Marine resources are of minor importance in terms of export earnings. The value of marine product exports in 2000 was reported to be US$400,000. During the 1990s the annual value averaged about $525,000.
The Vanuatu Government receives payments for foreign fishing in the Vanuatu zone. In 1999 these access fees totaled about US$218,000.
Vanuatu also benefits from providing crew to foreign fishing vessels. According to a 1997 study by the Forum Fisheries Agency, work on foreign fishing vessels presently constitutes about 0.7 % of all formal employment in Vanuatu.
The considerable effort and resources devoted to the promotion of a small-scale deep bottom fishery initially resulted in success, at least in areas with access to urban markets, but the fishery has effectively collapsed in more remote areas owing to high production and distribution costs and the unwillingness of the government to continue subsidising marginal or unprofitable fishing activities. The entry of larger-scale, private-sector operators into the fishery has revitalized it to a certain degree, but care will need to be taken not to allow catches to exceed MSY or catch rates to fall below profitable levels. MSY for the fishery is estimated to be, at most, 300 t/ yr., but catches will probably need to be kept below this level if the fishery is to remain economic.
An urban-based sport-fishing charter industry has grown in tandem with the expansion of tourism and is thought to have potential for further growth. This fishery is an important provider of fresh fish to the Port Vila area.
The fact that several neighboring countries have established viable tuna longline fisheries, suggest that Vanuatu could do the same. The government wishes to increase onshore foreign investment in this sector, but progress is hesitant. Various schemes to reactivate the moribund fishing base at Palekula on Espiritu Santo have been undertaken over the past two decades but have not come to fruition. The recently-formulated Tuna Management Plan, envisages increased economic and social benefits from Vanuatu's tuna resources. The Plan proposes a number of measures to obtain these benefits:
A major factor in realizing the potential of the tuna resources is the degree of government support to these initiatives.
Subsistence fishing is second only to agriculture as a food source for villagers living in Vanuatu's rural areas. Traditional management practices have been used in the past to conserve fishery stocks, but with advances in fishing techniques and equipment, and increasing pressure for financial reward from fishing, customary fishing practices have declined in some areas. The resulting pressure on inshore resources and numerous examples of localised resource depletion has heightened awareness of the need for better management of inshore fishing activities. Renewed interest in the potential of customary marine tenure to conserve inshore resources is now being shown both by government and by resource users.
Any progress in development of aquaculture in Vanuatu is likely to be from private sector investment rather than the government attempting to initiate commercial activities by direct involvement.
The main legislation dealing with the management of fisheries in Vanuatu is the Fisheries Act (1982). The Act contains provisions concerning:
The Act was amended in 1989. Changes include certain definitions (e.g. definition of a local fishing vessel), powers of the Minister to enter into foreign fishing agreements, and observers.
Other relevant instruments include the Decentralization and Local Government Regions Act (1994), laws relating to the issue of Business Licences (CAP 173), the Maritime Zones Act (1981) and various Land laws. There is no single document that brings together in one place all the various legislative provisions relating to fisheries.
Responsibility for the development and management of Vanuatu's fisheries is vested in the Fisheries Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry and Fisheries. The Department is headed by the Director of Fisheries and has three main sections: (1) Resource Assessment, Management, and Computer Information; (2) Administration and Finance; and (3) Rural Fisheries Development Programme. In the mid-1990s a total of 29 staff were employed in the Fisheries Department. In 1999 the figure dropped to 15 permanent officers as a result of the government's Comprehensive Reform Programme.
Vanuatu is a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the Agreement for the Implementation of the Provisions of the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 Relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks, and the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean. Vanuatu is also party to the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
Fishery research in Vanuatu is the responsibility of the Department of Fisheries. A wide range of applied research activities have been carried out, often supported by regional or international agencies, in particular the French research organisation ORSTOM11which until 1997 maintained a field centre in Vanuatu. Research projects carried out have included:
Presently the three most important research projects of the Fisheries Department are:
Fisheries-related training is delivered through the National Fisheries School in Luganville, where vocational courses for fishermen are run at a purpose-built centre. The Marine Training School in Port Vila also provides basic training in seamanship for the fishing and shipping industries. The Fisheries School is operated by the Fisheries Department, while the Marine School is based at the Fisheries Department headquarters. Higher-level or academic training in fishery-related subjects is generally sought overseas.
Vanuatu has enjoyed fisheries sector assistance from a range of multi-lateral and bi-lateral donors. Support has included the funding of expatriate staff positions within the Department of Fisheries, establishment and operation of rural fishing centres, provision of vessels, FAD materials and equipment, construction of aquaculture facilities, collaborative research costs, and travel costs for training and attendance at meetings.
Important donors have included the Governments of Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Japan as well as the European Union. Other donors have included ACIAR, ICOD and CIDA. Assistance is also obtained from the international organisations of which Vanuatu is a member, including FAO, UNDP, ESCAP, and other United Nation agencies. The regional organisations serving Pacific Island countries, including the Forum Fisheries Agency, the Secretariat of the Pacific Community, the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme, the Forum Secretariat, and the South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission have been active in supporting Vanuatu's fisheries sector.

Re-drafting the 2008 NFL draft
Mel goes back through the first round with Matt Ryan going No. 1
In the 2008 draft, some teams drafted well at the top, really. The top 10 does offer one pretty big bust (Vernon Gholston) and one pretty small one (Derrick Harvey). It was also a strange draft in that not one wideout was taken in Round 1, something that seems almost hard to imagine in this pass-happy NFL. Here are the guidelines I used:
The rules
1. The order is based mainly on what players have accomplished but also considers what else they have left. Health matters.
2. The need of the team at the time is not considered. This is now purely "best player available."
3. Positional value matters -- so a good tackle could edge a star guard, for instance.
The order below follows the actual 2008 draft order. And remember: New England didn't have a second pick in the first round because of the Spygate incident, so there are only 31 picks.
1. Miami Dolphins: Matt Ryan, QB
2008 pick: Jake Long
He's coming off a disappointing season, but Ryan has 4,515 passing yards and 26 touchdown passes, and he carries a 60-34 record as a starting quarterback. There is certainly a question of whether he's at the elite level people so often discuss but never really define, but Ryan is unquestionably one of the top 10 franchise quarterbacks in the NFL and seems fully capable of winning a Super Bowl. Had Miami drafted him at No. 1, it would have shifted the direction of the franchise.
(Ryan's previous slot: No. 3 overall)

Ex-senator's death not confirmed-family friend
WASHINGTON Aug 10 (Reuters) - A family friend of former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens said he has not received confirmation that the lawmaker had died in a plane crash overnight, despite previous television reports that quoted the friend as saying that he had perished.
The friend, Dave Dittman, told local Alaska news outlets that he had been told Stevens had died in the crash, but in a new statement said "that has not been confirmed." (Reporting by Jeremy Pelofsky, editing by Stacey Joyce)

I fully recommend this retailer. Initially nervous about purchasing a diamond ring on-line from a picture only, I was reassured by the money-back guarantee and free return postage offered. I was not disappointed! The diamonds are exquisite and represent excellent value for money. Whilst I can't comment on the shop layout, the website is easy to use and customer service helpful and staff were keen to ensure I was 100% satisfied with my purchase.

role in baseballTITLE: baseball (sport)
SECTION: Movement and expansionAlong with this first round of expansion came an era of superb pitching that dominated the league for a generation. The earned run averages for pitchers during this era averaged 3.30, and the major league batting average fell as low as .238 in 1968. Several changes in the game were believed to account for the resurgence of pitching; the strike zone was expanded in 1963; managers explored more...TITLE: baseball (sport)
SECTION: Play of the gameThe teams alternate between being fielders (playing defense) and batters (playing offense). The nine fielders take up assigned positions in the playing field; one fielder, called the pitcher, stands on a mound in the centre of the diamond and faces the base designated as home plate, where a batter, holding a formed stick (a bat), waits for him to throw a hard leather-covered ball. The goal of...TITLE: baseball (sport)
SECTION: PitchingUntil a batter hits the ball, the game is a duel between the pitcher (and catcher) and the batter, which is repeated with each at bat. Each batter that a pitcher strikes out or forces to hit a pop-up (pop fly, an easily caught fly) or easily fielded grounder is a gain for the defense, preventing runs and bringing the team closer to its turn at bat and a chance to score.

'Hercules' Release Date Moves to July 25, 2014
Brett Ratner helms the event pic starring Dwayne Johnson.
Hercules is on the move.
The Brett Ratner-helmed film, originally scheduled for release on Aug. 8, 2014, has been moved to July 25, 2014, Paramount announced Tuesday.
PHOTOS: '80s Action Stars: Where Are They Now?
The event pic, based on Radical Studios' graphic novel Hercules: The Thracian Wars, stars Dwayne Johnson in the titular role.
While no other films are currently slated for release on the same date, the move to July does put the film one week after the release of two major summer tentpoles -- The Hobbit: There and Back Again and X-Men: Days of Future Past -- both out on July 18, 2014.
The screenplay was adapted by Ryan Condal, with revisions by Evan Spiliotopoulos. The film is being produced by Beau Flynn, Barry Levine and Ratner and executive produced by Peter Berg, Sarah Aubrey and Jesse Berger.
Johnson, who stars in Snitch, which hit theaters on Friday, will be getting plenty of screen time in the coming months, appearing in G.I. Joe: Retaliation in March, Pain & Gain in April and Fast & Furious 6 in May.

Councilman wants New York City offices to turn their lights off
Tuesday, December 16, 2014
Henry Melcher.
As part of New York City's quest to cut carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2050, Queens councilman Donovan Richards has introduced legislation that would force commercial buildings to switch their lights off after their occupants head home.
COOKFOX's second Pacific Park tower in Brooklyn breaks ground near the Barclays Center
Monday, December 15, 2014
Henry Melcher.
This morning, Greenland Forest City Partners broke ground on 535 Carlton Avenue—the second tower to rise at Pacific Park in Brooklyn, the development formerly known as Atlantic Yards. The COOKFOX-designed masonry tower will rise 18 stories and include nearly 300 affordable units: 50 percent middle-income, 20 percent moderate, and 30 percent low-income.
"UUGGHH": Mysterious, graffiti-covered New York City landmark likely to go condo
Monday, December 15, 2014
Henry Melcher.
A developer has finally gotten his hands on one of Manhattan's most intriguing and desired properties: 190 Bowery. The six-story Renaissance Revival building opened in 1898 as a branch of the Germania Bank, but had been the private home and workspace of photographer Jay Maisel since 1966. Back then, he bought the building for $102,000 and held onto it for decades as property values skyrocketed in Nolita. For that reason, 190 Bowery has become a beloved, graffiti-covered piece of New York nostalgia, defying gentrification as everything else around it adapted with the times. But that's about to change.
If these five architecture teams get their way, the library of the future will look a lot different than today

New York City's public libraries need cash—and they need it fast. Over the years, the city's three library systems—the New York Public Library (serving Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island), the Brooklyn Public Library, and the Queens Public Library—have racked up over one billion dollars in capital needs. And that's not money needed for new educational tech tools, like iPads and laptops, but for renovations just to keep the old buildings in a state of good repair.
With SHoP's skyscraper in the balance, Howard Hughes stacks a Seaport hearing

The event was held at St. Paul's Chapel in Lower Manhattan and it was standing room only before anybody got up to the mic. By five after, people waiting on the chapel steps were being turned away.

In Construction> New York City's East Side Access tunnel dons a yellow raincoat deep underground
Tuesday, December 9, 2014
Henry Melcher.
Every so often, New York City's MTA shares a batch of construction photos to remind New Yorkers that one of its long-delayed projects is still chugging along beneath their feet. The latest photo set takes us underneath Manhattan where the MTA is busy borrowing tunnels that will one day connect the Long Island Rail Road to Grand Central. The whole project is expected to cost nearly $11 billion and won't be wrapped up until 2023, so no need to rush through the gallery.

SLO Architecture helps preserve New York City's disappearing graffiti walls
Monday, December 8, 2014
Henry Melcher.
Demolition of the graffiti mecca known as "5Pointz" in Long Island City, Queens has become a flashpoint in New York City development. The iconic arts institution was literally whitewashed by the developer last spring and has since been turned to rubble to make way for two rental towers. As the controversial project continues in Queens, the destruction of another world-renowned graffiti forum, just a few miles away in the South Bronx, has gone largely unnoticed.
NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission changes course, won't remove sites from historic consideration
Friday, December 5, 2014
Henry Melcher.
As AN wrote earlier this week, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) was prepared to "de-calendar" about 100 historic buildings and sites at a meeting next Tuesday. The Commission's planned action expectedly drew a loud and spirited backlash from preservation groups. Now, just a few days before the action was scheduled, it appears the response has had the desired effect. The New York Times is reporting that the Commission has withdrawn its proposal. "In withdrawing the proposal, [LPC Chair Meenakshi Srinivasan] said she wanted to provide more time for people to speak up for certain properties while making clear all would be dealt with sooner rather than later," explained the Times.
New York City to remove 96 sites from landmark consideration
Thursday, December 4, 2014
Henry Melcher.
In an effort to supposedly streamline New York City's landmarking process, the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) will drop 96 buildings and sites from consideration for historic preservation. These sites span all five boroughs and include Union Square, Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn, and the Pepsi-Cola sign in Long Island City (above).

WorldNetDaily Continues To Defend George Zimmerman Amid Abuse Allegations
WorldNetDaily's Jack Cashill believes that the allegations of domestic violence against George Zimmerman are part of a big liberal media conspiracy, even though one of the claims occurred before the Trayvon Martin trial. In another WND story defending Zimmerman in the face of new accusations of abuse, Cashill claimed Zimmerman's estranged wife and "his latest 'victim,' girlfriend Samantha Scheibe," concocted their claims to garner media attention and "betrayed" Zimmerman by going to the police after he threatened them.
While Cashill thinks this is all the media's fault, the Associated Press notes in 2005 "Zimmerman's former fiancee filed for a restraining order against him, alleging domestic violence," and in the same year "Zimmerman was arrested and accused of resisting an officer with violence."
But maybe the media went back in time as part of the anti-Zimmerman conspiracy!
Between April 2012 and July 2013, Zimmerman's life fell apart. He showed up at the trial dead-eyed, grossly overweight, and financially and emotionally bankrupt.
The local NAACP, with which he had worked on a civil rights case a year earlier, had betrayed him. The state of Florida had sacrificed him to the mob.
His president denied him. The media had rendered the mid-Florida ether so poisonous he could scarcely leave the house. His wife no longer loved him and was eager to tell the world about it.
Zimmerman's acquittal settled nothing. The death threats amplified. The attorney general continued to hound him despite full clearance by the FBI more than a year prior. And the media cried "Injustice!"
"I still see sadness in his eyes," said his brother Robert soon after the acquittal. "He was definitely not the same person I had seen a few days before the incident."
In the last two years, Zimmerman has experienced more betrayal on more levels than most of us will in a lifetime.
Now, it appears that his latest "victim," girlfriend Samantha Scheibe, was soliciting national media interviews weeks before their well-publicized dust-up.
Regardless of the circumstances, each misstep Zimmerman has made post-trial has left the media giddy. They seem to think it vindicates their utterly subversive rush to judgment.
The fact is that the Zimmerman they now happily trash is the Zimmerman they helped create. Whatever happens going forward, the blood is on their hands.

- Can work from home.
- No micro-management.
- Will pay for your cell phone and home WiFi bill, since majority of consultants work from home.
- Very charismatic CEO, CTO.Cons
- Poor work-life balance on certain projects.
- Consulting can be stressful, sometimes you'll be thrown into deep end of the ocean w/o support.
- Base Salary is a little low bc they're a growing company, they're trying to cut salaries to stay competitive.
- Some employees are too political.
- There are some bad managers.
- Not much opportunities to write code on projects. The programming is usually offshore'd.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Management styles need to be improved. My manager didn't listen to me and kept forcing his own beliefs on what he thought was best for me. Even from the beginning when I first got the job offer, I tried to start 1 week later than desired bc I had a previously scheduled flight and the manager gave me flak for it, even though the recruiter told me it was perfectly ok to start a week later and that this happens all the time. These were 2 different managers.RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEO
