A bullpen that has represented Valpo's biggest weapon in Horizon League play continued its authority Friday over first place Milwaukee.
A back-and-forth battle resulted in a 5-3 Crusaders win over the Panthers in an early start at Emory G. Bauer Field. The win puts Valpo ahead in the first game of the conference series, and snaps Milwaukee's win streak at eight.
Andrew Bain got the Crusaders started early with a line-drive single to left field on the first pitch.
John Loeffler pushed him across the plate with two outs, as Valpo took an early lead over the Panthers.
The Panthers responded with a series of hits, racking up four singles and two runs in the second inning to regain the lead and establish some momentum in the game.
Not to be outdone, Valparaiso answered back with Karch Kowalczyk capitalizing on a defensive error to start and loading the bases on back-to-back singles from Spencer Mahoney and Billy Cribbs.
The first run of the inning came when Andy Burns was hit by a Jake Long delivery, and Andrew Bain hit another single early in the count to pick up his first RBI of the game, re-taking the lead at 3-2. The Panther defense tightened up after that point, and shut down the inning on a double play.
In the top of the fourth, Milwaukee efficiently put runners on the bases with four singles in a row. Luke Meeteer tied up the game with a single to right field, scoring Ryan Solberg. On that play Derek Peake strayed too far off the bag after advancing to second, and Loeffler - the cutoff man - fired the ball to the shortstop to pick him off for the first out of the inning.
Valpo collected the next two outs on the next two batters, preventing the Panthers from continuing their offensive damage.
Burns led off the bottom of the fourth with his second single on the day, and plated his second run off Bryce Hara's single to left field. The RBI pushed Valpo back into the lead 4-3.
The Brown and Gold then added an insurance run, as Bain scored on a deep sacrifice fly off the bat of Loeffler.
The rest of the game went quickly, as neither team scored after the fourth inning. Both the Crusaders and the Panthers threatened throughout the game, but they failed to capitalize on early baserunners.
Chris DeBoo got the nod for the start, struggling early as he gave up eleven hits and all three runs to Milwaukee.
Kyle Wormington relieved him after the fourth inning, holding the Panthers to just two hits, walking one and striking out three, earning his third win of the year.
Kowalczyk entered from the DH position to close the game, holding the Panthers and securing the win for the Crusaders.
Overall, both teams had their opportunities, with Valpo collecting 11 hits to Milwaukee's 13.
Long struggled against Valpo's offense, giving up eight hits and all five runs before exiting in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Not one batter on either team hit for extra bases; all 24 hits were singles.
The win puts Valparaiso's record at 21-23 overall, 8-8 in conference play. Milwaukee's loss drops them to 21-17 overall, with 11-5 in conference.
Game two of the series will be held Saturday at Emory G. Bauer Field at 1:00 pm

The Blackfeet
Tribal Court shall have jurisdiction over all claims by creditors for
the return of personal property located within the Reservation in which
the creditor has a security interest as a result of a consumer credit
transaction and where the debtor has defaulted. Such property shall
not be returned except in accordance with this Chapter. This Chapter
applies to repossession of consumer goods in which the creditor has
a security interest. It is limited to consumer credit transactions and
does not apply to commercial transactions.
Section 2. Self-Help Repossession Prohibited; Pre-Judgment
Repossession Prohibited
Self-help repossession to obtain personal property, of residents of
the Blackfeet Reservation is prohibited. Repossession prior to judgment
is also prohibited. To obtain personal property in which the creditor
has a valid security interest, the creditor must comply with the procedures
for repossession in this chapter. A waiver of the right to bring an
action for wrongful repossession is prohibited and shall have no effect.
Section 3. Consent of the Debtor
A creditor may obtain without Court proceedings the return of personal property in which the creditor possesses a valid security interest where the debtor has defaulted if the creditor obtains the written consent of the debtor. The debtor must consent freely and knowingly. Consent obtained by fraud, force, harassment, or intimidation, have no effect. If no consent is given, the creditor may obtain the property only through the procedures in this Chapter. Violations of this provision are subject to the civil penalties set forth in Section 10 of this Chapter.
Section 4. Types of Cases in Which Repossession
is Allowed
may be sought only by a creditor who retains a valid security interest
in the personal property at issue as a result of a consumer credit transaction..
An unsecured creditor has no right to the property.
Section 5. Election of Remedies
A creditor may elect to seek the return of the property or the money due on such property, but both remedies may not be pursued at the same time. Where the debtor has paid sixty percent (60%) or more of the cash price or loan, a creditor may not seek return of the property. Where money due on the property is sought, the parties shall comply with the Rules of Civil Procedure in maintaining the action. In the event of a money judgment, the creditor may enforce such judgment through any method provided in this Code.
Section 6. Procedure for Repossessing Property
- Commencing
an Action
A creditor shall file a written complaint with the Clerk of Court containing a concise statement of the creditor's claim against the debtor; a statement of the "creditor's interpretation of the contract, agreement, or other document entitling the creditor to possession of the property; a specific description of the property and a specific description of its location to the best knowledge, information and belief of the creditor; a statement of the value of the property, the amount paid by the debtor and the amount due; and such additional information necessary to state a claim and the relief sought. A verified copy of the contract, agreement, or other document entitling the creditor to possession shall be attached to the complaint. The complaint shall be served on the debtor in accordance with the Rules of Civil Procedure.
- Written
Within twenty (20) days of receipt of the complaint, the debtor may file a written response containing: a denial or admission of the facts in the petition; an explanation of the facts denied and a concise statement of the debtor's version of the dispute; such other defenses as the debtor may have; and any counterclaims or cross-claims. The response shall be served on the creditor in accordance with the Rules of Civil Procedure.
- Temporary Restraining order
- Notice
and Hearing
After reasonable notice to the debtor, the Tribal Court shall hold a hearing in the matter. The notice of hearing shall inform the debtor of the right to present evidence and testimony opposing the complaint, and that failure to appear may result in a judgment by default. At the hearing, both the creditor and debtor may present evidence, witnesses, and legal argument relevant to the dispute.
- Repossession
If the Court is satisfied that the creditor is entitled to repossess the property a repossession judgment shall be entered. Both the creditor and debtor have the right to appeal the decision of the Tribal Court in accordance with the Appeals Procedure. Pending appeal, the debtor may seek a stay of the repossession judgment and order. As a condition of such stay, the debtor must deposit with the Court an amount of money equal to the present value of the property or must file with the Court a bond or undertaking in an amount equal to the present value of the property plus Court costs. In the event a judgment in favor of the creditor is affirmed or the debtor's appeal is dismissed, the creditor may proceed against the sureties or apply to the Court to receive the deposit if he is unable to repossess the property after diligent effort.
- Deficiency
Where a repossession judgment is entered and the value of the property at sale is less than the debt due, the creditor thereafter may seek a deficiency judgment, provided that he has indicated in his complaint that a deficiency judgment will be sought, and provided that the creditor provides evidence of the value of the property through an appraisal or other means and the Court makes a determination of value. The amount of the deficiency judgment shall not exceed the amount of the debt less the value of the property, regardless of the amount obtained for the property at sale.
At any time prior to a hearing on the complaint, the creditor may seek a temporary restraining order enjoining the debtor from damaging, removing or disposing of the property in order to preserve the rights of the parties and the status of the property. Such a request must be accompanied by an affidavit containing specific facts showing there is reasonable cause to believe the property may be lost, damaged, or moved off the Reservation prior to a regularly scheduled hearing. The Court shall immediately review such a request and may order the property to be picked up and held pending a hearing in the matter. In such a case, the Court shall expedite the hearing, provided at least three (3) days notice is given the debtor. The creditor shall pay all costs incurred in picking up and holding the property.
Section 7. State Court Repossession
- Indian
State court repossession orders involving Indian defendants may not be enforced within the Reservation. State court final judgments involving Indian defendants may be given full faith and credit if the standards of Chapter 5 are satisfied, and thereafter may be enforced through repossession in accordance with this Chapter.
- Non-Indian
Creditors are encouraged to file civil actions for the return of non-Indian property in Tribal Court and follow the procedure for repossession set out in this Chapter. However, State court repossession judgments involving non-Indian defendants may be given full faith and credit if the standards of Chapter 5 are satisfied. In granting full faith and credit, the Court shall require the creditor to notify the BIA or Tribal Police before coming onto the Reservation to repossess property, and may require the BIA or Tribal Police to accompany the creditor. Self-help repossession of non-Indian personal property is prohibited. Pre-judgment repossession is also prohibited. Where the property sought to be repossessed is located on India land, a Tribal Court repossession judgment is required.
Section 8. Mobile Homes
Mobile homes are not subject to repossession under this Chapter. Mobile homes shall be treated as real property in which the creditor has a security interest.
Section 9. Civil Penalties for Violation
- Civil
Damages and Penalty - Creditor
If a creditor violates any provisions of this Chapter, the debtor has a cause of action to recover actual damages and a right to recover from the person violating this Chapter a civil penalty in an amount determined by the Court. No action may be brought more than two (2) years after the violation.
- Civil
Damages and Penalty - Debtor
If a debtor takes any deliberate action to reduce the value of the property subject to repossession after a repossession complaint has been filed, the creditor has a cause of action to recover the amount by which the property has been reduced in value and a right to recover from the person violating this Chapter a civil penalty in an amount determined by the Court.
- Action
by the Tribe
Any creditor who violates this Chapter is subject to exclusion from the Reservation and/or denial of business privileges by the Blackfeet Tribe. No action shall be taken by the Tribe without notice and hearing.

Cholera, measles to hit Somalia famine victims, groups warn as they call
for more aid
By Associated Press, Published: September 21 | Updated: Thursday,
September 22, 3:51 AM
NAIROBI, Kenya - Seasonal rains in Somalia threaten to spread disease
among the hundreds of thousands of internally displaced residents who have
fled famine conditions in hopes of finding food, 20 aid groups said
The groups warned that the aid response to Somalia's famine has not been
large enough to address the dire needs, and that hundreds of thousands of
people could die from the crisis. Tens of thousands of children and many
more adults have already died from hunger.
"It is hard to imagine that the suffering in Somalia could get any worse.
Yet we know that the arrival of the Deyr rains predicted for October 2011
will result in increased suffering and lead to the deaths of many more
weak and vulnerable Somalis in communities already decimated by famine,"
the groups said in a statement.
"The spread of cholera, measles and malaria will have a devastating effect
on malnourished men, women and children," they said.
The United Nations says that more than 4 million people are suffering from
a food crisis in Somalia, and that 750,000 of those people are at risk of
death in the next four months.
A Somalia expert at Davidson College in North Carolina said in a new paper
released Wednesday that President Barack Obama needs to lead an
international effort to open food aid corridors in Somalia.
Ken Menkhaus said that the Responsibility to Protect doctrine should be
invoked in order to save the millions of lives at risk.
"Unless the international response changes, the 2011 Somali famine will be
to the Obama administration what the 1994 Rwandan genocide was to the
Clinton administration - a terrible stain, an unforgivable instance of
lack of political will to push policy beyond incrementalism," Menkhaus
wrote in a paper for the advocacy group the Enough Project. "We can and
must do better."
A majority of the Somalia's famine victims live in areas controlled by
al-Shabab, a harsh militant group that won't allow most international aid
groups into the territories it controls.
Menkhaus said that the U.S. and Islamic countries need to pressure the
Somalia government and al-Shabab to allow access for food aid.
Among the groups signing the letter was Oxfam, the Danish Refugee Council
and World Vision.

Simple ingredients, popped to perfection
Our Hatch Chile Cheese popcorn tastes so fresh and crunchy because we craft it in small batches. We start with the finest Midwestern corn and then add simple ingredients — New Mexico Chile Peppers and Non-GMO canola oil and other spices for flavor — that's it. Popped to perfection. It's the way popcorn is supposed to be.

What can we do if our baby hates riding in the car?
My 2 1/2-month-old hates the car. The crying begins as soon as I start driving. We've tried everything: adjusting the straps, using a blanket, not using a blanket, hanging toys from the handle ... nothing works. Occasionally he'll cry himself to sleep, but for the most part driving with him is a nightmare. Could he have motion sickness? What else can I do?

We had the same problem - I don't know if my daugther just grew out of it, but when she was about 2 mos old, we bought her the Baby Einstein kick toy for the car. They are avaialble at Target. At first she just watched it and listened, but now she's 4 mos old and she likes being in the car. She can turn it on herself and change the modes with her feet. I can actually ride up front with my husband now.posted 04/29/2008 by LassiesMom
You have to find his favorite toys that can really help some kids get sick of their toys really quick so you have to continually switch them out. Your child might think your trying to put them to sleep and get really mad, the best thing I can tell you to do is to talk to your child. No matter how old or young they are talk to them, let them know what's going on and what your going to do. They might just be scarred they cannot see mommy so hearing your voice might be enough. There is also these really cool little flexible mirrors that are made just for situations like these, seeing you might really help. You put one near him and one near you so that you can both see each other.posted 03/15/2008 by fairydustme
I've read most of the posts and just have to tell everyone who has experienced the "screaming" carseat baby...they will eventually grow out of it. I have 3 kids and ALL of them HATED the rearfacing carseat. My daughter who is now 3 months old is still a trial in the car but we have to just deal with it until she's old enough to ride front facing. Her two older brothers went through the SAME screaming fits and finally stopped when they were old enough to enjoy a DVD movie (about 13 months old). Best of luck everyone.posted 03/11/2008 by nubia_caoili
You should NEVER add foam or any other unapproved accessories to safety seats.... It can affect the safety. If your child is uncomfortable try another seat.posted 03/10/2008 by jen011303
When our daughter was about 2 months old, she would scream and start choking due to crying so hard in her car seat. We saw a pediatric physical therapist that was able to add support to areas in the car seat that did not sacrifice the safety of the seat. This greatly improved the amount of crying that occurred. The crying had been to a point that I only left the house when necessary and after the seat had better support for her, she only cried occasionally and this was usually when she had not had her naps at home as part of her daily routine. As our daughter grew, less additional support was needed and now she rides and sleeps comfortably in her car seat without any added support.posted 01/21/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
We are on our second child who hates the car. We assumed it must be genetics (HAHA) OR the narrow car seat (Peg Perego) so we borrowed another wider brand (Graco). It hasn't helped so far. We've also tried the Bundle Me, blankets, no blankets, less clothes, more clothes, music, no music. The only thing that has helped (just a little) are the car seat/stroller toys that attach to the car seat. This usually buys me 5-10 minutes before the wailing begins. It is horrible! It reminds me of my homebound life with my daughter and it makes me a little sad that I will be stuck at home so much in the next few months...but, I also realize that like everything else, this is only a stage. I think it got better with my eldest when we turned her next stage carseat around and she could look around.posted 01/14/2008 by michelleli
I have had this problem with both of my kids (my youngest is 13 weeks). We drive 2.5 hours to our parents' house once a month or so and he screams the entire way. With my daughter, she outgrew it by 6 months but it helped her to have white noise (static on the radio blasted loudly or constant shaking of a rattle) but it didn't work for my son. Someone else mentioned adding padding, and I have a Graco SnugRide (low-end version) as well. I put in the JJ Cole Bundle Me and he will now tolerate up to 15 minutes in the car without crying! It is like he is a different baby. Yes, it doesn't last too long, but in 15 minutes I can get a lot of places around town. Glad to know I'm not alone out there. My kids were also colicky, and my Dr. and Chiropractor both said they hear the not liking the car thing a lot with colicky kids.posted 12/13/2007 by bskaje
I feel your pain, whatever you do don't let people tell you that your baby will just have to "get used to it" like he's spoiled. My son was so unhappy in the car that I didn't go anywhere unless I absolutely had to. He would also scream until he threw up. I carried him in a sling everywhere we went because he also hated the stroller. As soon as he was able to hold a toy it got better. He is now a very happy 10 month old and I believe it's because I respected him and stuck to my instincts. Every day is one day closer to his tolerence. Hang in thereposted 12/12/2007 by rmwhite135
My son is going on 9 months now. He hasn't completely overcome his dislike of the car, but it's far better than it was just a few months ago. Each month it has improved. Here are a few things that have helped us: 1) When he was much younger we would tune the radio to an a.m. static station. We wouldn't make it too loud, but loud enough that he could hear it over his crying. Then once he settled down, we would turn it down a bit. This would often help to settle his nerves. 2) Then we found the saving grace CD: "Children's Songs, A Collection of Childhood Favorites"- by Susie Tallman. I know it sounds ludicrous, but to this day, it is the only CD than will calm our son down (We've tried others). And to boot, there are select songs that work. Sure I get annoyed listening to it over and over, but it sure beats listening to my son cry. The change of car seat has really been a blessing. We got the britax boulevard. The graco snugride was his infant seat, and he seemed to truly hate it.posted 12/12/2007 by mstoops
My daughter is almost 5 months and is finally better in the car. At about 3 weeks, she expressed her dislike for everything...stroller, car and naps. In desperation we changed car seat, bought the light up mirror and bought a cd called FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. We used the vacuum cleaner sound in the car and at bedtime and naptime. For a baby who hated the car, the vacuum would help get her to sleep from time to time. It wasn't perfect, but it helped. I think time is the only thing that helps really. We took a long road trip on Thanksgiving b/c we were sick of staying home b/c baby hated car. Since we have returned, every trip in the car has gotten better. I am not sure why exactly, but who is questioning. I no longer use the cd in the car, but still at night and naps. She chews on her hands, looks out the window or the mirror now. I still make sure that she is never hungry in the car. When she is hungry she will scream like never before. Good luck! I feel your pain.posted 12/12/2007 by DaniRior

(Went from craving to cookies in under 30 minutes!) Chewy soft cookies with the perfect texture. No need to make any changes to the recipe. It's perfect as it is."

My skin absorbs this lotion so quickly ! Huge surprise ! It really moisture the skin well and has no greasy/heavy feel. plus the smell is so yummy I love it

Smells great, the fact that it has cocoa butter makes it more convincing that it'll moisturize your skin...which, it does! Not greasy at all.
I'm super fussy When it comes to body lotions. I have so many in my cupboard that I have bought used once then never again. I researched this one thoroughly before purchasing and all of the positive posts and YouTube clips are so spot on.
This feels and smells amazing on my skin. I apply after each shower ( so twice a day) I will def repurchase. The lotion, scent, packaging, price are all fantastic!
I love this product! It smells AMAZING and works! The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it leaves a slight oily residue, but that's not a big deal to me because I apply it before going to bed. For the price, packaging and quality, I would definitely repurchase!
Lovely, and moisturizing for a very good price. This lotion leaves my skin feeling soft, smelling good (like cocoa butter), and supple. Can't ask for more! I would definitely buy it again :)
well I had a good expectation when I bought this stuff as I heared
some good reviews , but unfortunatly I did not found the moisturizing
effect I wanted , also it smells like some medicine no cocoa butter
smell on it . the only good thing is it has a light non greasy
formula which is good for summer so I guess it will work better with someone with an oily skin
For years Ive been a loyal Hempz user, I was introduced to it years ago and I was hooked from the first time. For the longest time drugstore lotions never did it for me, at best when they felt some what soft after applying it was more like a coating on my skin rather than actually moisturizing my skin and being absorbed. I could always feel the difference so I am going through a phase a.t.m where Im crazy about this particular scent so I bought it and OMG this is the first time in a long time where I can feel like a drugstore product is actually moisturizing my skin!!!! Im in love. It smells great, it does what its supposed to do and it does it well and honestly since Ive had this I kinda forgot about my Hempz lotion lol will def be repurchasing and I highly recommend.

I did not like this product. I wanted to like it because it smelled really good, but the lotion was way too thin and watery and did not moisturize well. It just make my skin feel sticky and gross.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
No matter what I always end up going back to this lotion. I've tried several different lotions in between this for years, but nothing compares to how soft & smooth my skin feels after using this. I have very dry skin except for my face; my skin is especially and obviously more dry in the winter and I love using this both in the winter and summer. This doesn't break my body out at all which I've had a problem with some after I work out because the lotion never feels like it settles into my skin. I know I know, ewg has a low rating on that and that's what drew me back a lot of the times because I do actually value the websites info, but this stuff works for me and there's way more stuff to worry about and all other kinds of stuff you can catch just from walking out your door. I took a chemistry class and out of nowhere asked him his opinion on using petroleum products in lotions and what not and he said that its fine and our skin is made up of acids and all that yada yada yada and that we need it. not sure about all that but whatever i like this product regardless. This takes a little work to rub in at first but once it settles, it sinks into your skin. I do like the smell, but I don't love it entirely. It doesn't remind me if an actual real cocoa butter smell. Price is cheap and a little does go a long way. I like to especially apply this after I shower and let it sink in a few minutes after I apply it before getting dressed. I would recommend this and I will be repurchasing once again.

I found this growing near my garden, about 2 feet away from a raspberry cane that failed to grow earlier this year. I'm in the Appalachian Foothills of North Georgia. I was wondering if it is a raspberry vine or something. Else. |

Agreed. The size and spacing of the thorns remind me of the Obsidian blackberry, although yours could be another variety or just a wild seedling. Raspberries are mostly thornless, may develop some fine small prickles near the base when mature. |
i have raspberry and black berry and the leaves look more like my blackberry plants. |
I've noticed that blackberries tend to have angular stems and raspberries don't. |

Oven-Roasted Meatballs
Meet my new (to me) method for meatballs: oven roasting. I almost always sear my meatballs in a skillet before finishing them in marinara. However, our windowless kitchen and aging exhaust fan mean that after stove-top searing everything from the bedspread to the shower curtain smells like steak (or chicken or whatever you were cooking).
So, in an effort to avoid sleeping on a meatball-scented pillow, I tried oven-roasting the meatballs instead of pan-searing them. I oiled up a sheet tray, roasted the meatballs at 450° F for 5 to 8 minutes (just until they were nicely browned on the bottom and lifted easily off the try). I flipped the meatballs and roasted for another 5 to 8 minutes. They should be golden on 2 sides.
I then slid them into a skillet with some marinara for 5 to 10 minutes for the flavors to meld. If I were really clever I would have started the meatballs right in the skillet so I only had one pan to clean, but I didn't think of that until today. Next time.
Searing is still the way to go for some things—steaks, chops, etc.—but the oven-roasted meatball method may just be our new go-to. At least until we move to a place with a window in the kitchen.
Oh, if you're interested here's the recipe for the meatballs:
1 slice white sandwich bread
3 tablespoon whole milk
1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
handful of chopped fresh herbs (I used flat-leaf parsley and basil)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese
kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound meatloaf mix (roughly 50 % ground beef, 25% ground veal, 25% ground pork)
Soak the bread in the milk until very soft. Mash with a fork to form a paste. Whisk in the egg and yolk, herbs, cheese, and a generous pinch salt and several grinds of black pepper. Form into 15 or 16 balls and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet or oven-proof skillet. Proceed as above.
What's your favorite way to cook meatballs?

Kirk Hinrich (strained hip) hoping to play against Suns
BY SETH GRUEN For Sun-Times Media November 13, 2012 9:29PM
Updated: December 15, 2012 6:29AM
If point guard Kirk Hinrich's strained right hip keeps getting better, then he expects to play against the Suns on Wednesday in Phoenix, where the Bulls start their five-game road trip.
Hinrich was a limited participant in practice Tuesday at the Berto Center. He shot free throws during individual drills at the end of the session.
Coach Tom Thibodeau and Hinrich will evaluate his status after the shootaround Wednesday morning in Phoenix.
''[It comes down to] how well I can move and between now and [Wednesday],'' Hinrich said. ''Just have to get as much treatment as I can. At some point, I'm going to have to really push it to see how I feel.''
Good timing
The Bulls' 101-95 home loss Monday to the Boston Celtics left Thibodeau in one of his worst moods of the season. But he was more positive Tuesday, knowing his team was about to leave on a 10-day road trip.
''It's a good time to go on the road,'' Thibodeau said. ''The focus: concentrating on what we need to improve upon and just getting ready for Phoenix.''
Hinrich echoed that sentiment.
''We're all excited to get out on the road,'' he said. ''It's a chance for just us to be on the road, where we're all we've got. You don't have the fans or anything like that behind us.''
New perspective
The Bulls knew their play Monday was not up to standard. But getting the chance to watch the game film helped them to gain perspective.
''Everybody can see what's going on out there,'' Hinrich said. ''It's always good . . . to sleep on it, come in and watch the film with a fresh point of view.''

I am looking for any resources that support that a ficus has an invasive root system and would not be an appropriate choice for planting in a 5 foot area that is bordered by a swimmming pool and retaining wall. I have a nursery that recommended and planted 4 ficus trees in this area. Having just moved to AZ from the midwest, we took their recommendation and let them plant them. Only by having someone come out to do yard clean up for spring did we have it called to our attention that this could be a huge problem. In addition, the soil is very hard and rocky and required a hard dig for the pool. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You are correct that Ficus (Ficus nitida) is considered to have an agressive root system. They are notorious for having roots that lift sidewalks, fence footers and even home foundations. A good rule of thumb to follow is to allow enough space in a planting area to accommodate the tree at maturity. In other words, a tree like Ficus nitida generally has a canopy that grows to about 20 - 30 feet at maturity and you would want to allow this much space in your planting bed. You would never want to plant this tree closer than 10 - 15 feet from a fence or home. People often forget that a tree's root system will extend 1 1/2 - 4 times the diameter of the canopy in the surrounding soil and don't allow enough room. Plus, this tree is vulnerable to frost damage (you might have seen all the brown trees in the Phoenix valley lately.) There are lots of other choices available for the space you describe as well as a list of recommended plants around pools. Look for the FREE booklet, Landscape Plants for the Arizona Desert which is sometimes available at local nurseries. Check this website for other locations http://www.amwua.org/conservation/landscape_plants.htm |

I believe the OP was asking for some accredited documentation of the root problems with Ficus (nothing against aztreelvr). In "Landscape Plants for Dry Regions" by Jones and Sacamano: "Aggressive roots may cause heaving and buckling of nearby paved areas". On the website Desert Tropicals: "Invasive roots" You might also give the Desert Botanical Garden a call, they have a plant hotline, and you could have one of their experts verify your information. Im assuming you need something to show the nursery in order to get them to take some action for you.... good luck |

I have a steep slopy area in backyard, was thinking of terracing it with 3 small retaining block walls. Does anyone know of any contractor that they can recommend to build one? if yes please email me thx |
- Posted by Safe Homes(firstname.lastname@example.com) onTue, May 3, 11 at 17:46
We are in the Mold Inspection business and have found multiple times where a ficus hedge up close to a foundation will start to invade the inside of the home. Recently, we did an investigation where the root system had got up into the (Florida Home) concrete block and caused moisture to start seaping into the home. This caused mold to grow behind the baseboard. I always tell my clients to remove any ficus near a foundation because of this problem. |

On October 27, 1997 Oregon enacted the Death with Dignity Act (the Act) which allows terminally-ill Oregonians to end their lives through the voluntary self-administration of lethal medications, expressly prescribed by a physician for that purpose. The Act requires the Oregon Public Health Division to collect information about the patients and physicians who participate in the Act and publish an annual statistical report. These data are important to parties on both sides of the issue. Our position is a neutral one, and we offer no opinions about these questions. We routinely receive inquiries about the Act. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions.Please browse the list of questions below or download FAQs (pdf).
Q: What is Oregon's Death with Dignity Act?A: The Death with Dignity Act (the Act) allows terminally-ill Oregonians to end their lives through the voluntary self-administration of lethal medications, expressly prescribed by a physician for that purpose.The Act was a citizens' initiative passed twice by Oregon voters. The first time was in a general election in November 1994 when it passed by a margin of 51% to 49%. An injunction delayed implementation of the Act until it was lifted on October 27, 1997. In November 1997, a measure was placed on the general election ballot to repeal the Act. Voters chose to retain the Act by a margin of 60% to 40%.There is no state "program" for participation in the Act. People do not "make application" to the State of Oregon or the Oregon Health Authority. It is up to qualified patients and licensed physicians to implement the Act on an individual basis. The Act requires the Oregon Health Authority to collect information about patients who participate each year and to issue an annual report.
Q: Are there any other states that have similar legislation?A: Yes. On November 4, 2008, the State of Washington passed Initiative 1000, the state's Death with Dignity Act, which became law on March 5, 2009. Information about the Washington Death with Dignity Act can be found at http://www.doh.wa.gov/dwda.In 2009, the Montana Supreme Court ruled that physicians may assist patients in ending their lives by prescribing lethal medications (to be self-administered by the patient), citing the state's Rights of the Terminally Ill Act. Information on the Montana Supreme Court decision can be found at http://searchcourts.mt.gov/getDocument?vid={88A87FE0-2501-438A-AC31-CCE62D37C894}.
In 2013, the Vermont General Assembly passed Act 39, the state's Patient Choice and Control at End of Life Act, which was signed into law on May 20, 2013. Information about the Vermont Patient Choice and Control at End of Life Act can be found at http://healthvermont.gov/family/end_of_life_care/patient_choice.aspx.
Q: Who can participate in the Act?A: The law states that, in order to participate, a patient must be: 1) 18 years of age or older, 2) a resident of Oregon, 3) capable of making and communicating health care decisions for him/herself, and 4) diagnosed with a terminal illness that will lead to death within six (6) months. It is up to the attending physician to determine whether these criteria have been met.Q: Can someone who doesn't live in Oregon participate in the Act?A: No. Only patients who establish that they are residents of Oregon can participate if they meet certain criteria.Q: How does a patient demonstrate residency?A: A patient must provide adequate documentation to the attending physician to verify that s/he is a current resident of Oregon. Factors demonstrating residency include, but are not limited to: an Oregon Driver License, a lease agreement or property ownership document showing that the patient rents or owns property in Oregon, an Oregon voter registration, a recent Oregon tax return, etc. It is up to the attending physician to determine whether or not the patient has adequately established residency.Q: How long does someone have to be a resident of Oregon to participate in the Act?A: There is no minimum residency requirement. A patient must be able to establish that s/he is currently a resident of Oregon.Q: Can a non-resident move to Oregon in order to participate in the Act?A: There is nothing in the law that prevents someone from doing this. However, the patient must be able to prove to the attending doctor that s/he is currently a resident of Oregon.Q: Are participating patients reported to the State of Oregon by name?A: The State does collect the names of patients in order to cross-check death certificates. However, the law guarantees the confidentiality of all participating patients (as well as physicians) and the Oregon Health Authority does not release this information to the public or media. The identity of participating physicians is coded, but the identity of individual patients is not recorded in any manner. Approximately one year from the publication of the Annual Report, all source documentation is destroyed.Q: Who can give a patient a prescription under the Act?A: Patients who meet certain criteria can request a prescription for lethal medication from a licensed Oregon physician. The physician must be a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) or Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.) licensed to practice medicine by the Board of Medical Examiners for the State of Oregon. The physician must also be willing to participate in the Act. Physicians are not required to provide prescriptions to patients and participation is voluntary. Additionally, some health care systems (for example, a Catholic hospital or the Veterans Administration) have prohibitions against practicing the Act that physicians must abide by as terms of their employment.Q: If a patient's doctor does not participate in the Act, how can s/he get a prescription?A: The patient must find another M.D. or D.O. licensed to practice medicine in Oregon who is willing to participate. The Oregon Health Authority does not recommend doctors, nor can we provide the names of participating physicians or patients due to the need to protect confidentiality.Q: If a patient's primary care doctor is located in another state, can that doctor write a prescription for the patient?A: No. Only M.D.s or D.O.s licensed to practice medicine by the Board of Medical Examiners for the State of Oregon can write a valid prescription for lethal medication under the Act.Q: How does a patient get a prescription from a participating physician?A: The patient must meet certain criteria to be able to request to participate in the Act. Then, the following steps must be fulfilled: 1) the patient must make two oral requests to the attending physician, separated by at least 15 days; 2) the patient must provide a written request to the attending physician, signed in the presence of two witnesses, at least one of whom is not related to the patient; 3) the attending physician and a consulting physician must confirm the patient's diagnosis and prognosis; 4) the attending physician and a consulting physician must determine whether the patient is capable of making and communicating health care decisions for him/herself; 5) if either physician believes the patient's judgment is impaired by a psychiatric or psychological disorder (such as depression), the patient must be referred for a psychological examination; 6) the attending physician must inform the patient of feasible alternatives to the Act including comfort care, hospice care, and pain control; 7) the attending physician must request, but may not require, the patient to notify their next-of-kin of the prescription request. A patient can rescind a request at any time and in any manner. The attending physician will also offer the patient an opportunity to rescind his/her request at the end of the 15-day waiting period following the initial request to participate.Physicians must report all prescriptions for lethal medications to the Oregon Health Authority, Vital Records. As of 1999, pharmacists must be informed of the prescribed medication's ultimate use.Q: What kind of prescription will a patient receive?A: It is up to the physician to determine the prescription. To date, most patients have received a prescription for an oral dosage of a barbiturate.Q: What will happen if a physician doesn't follow the prescribing or reporting requirements of the Act?A: The Oregon Health Authority will notify the Board of Medical Examiners of any deviations. If a formal investigation is warranted by the Board of Medical Examiners, physicians might be subject to disciplinary action.Q: Must a physician be present at the time the medications are taken?A: The law does not require the presence of a physician when a patient takes lethal medication. A physician may be present if a patient wishes it, as long as the physician does not administer the medication him/herself.Q: Can a patient rescind a request to participate in the Act?A: Yes, a patient can rescind a request at any time and in any manner. The attending physician will also offer the patient an opportunity to rescind his/her request at the end of the 15-day waiting period following the initial request to participate.Q: How much does participation cost?A: We do not collect cost data. However, direct costs for participation in the Act might include office calls relating to the request, a psychological consult (if required), and the cost of the prescription.Q: Will insurance cover the cost of participation in the Act?A: The Act does not specify who must pay for the services. Individual insurers determine whether the procedure is covered under their policies (just as they do with any other medical procedure). Oregon statute specifies that participation under the Act is not suicide, so should not affect insurance benefits by that definition. However, federal funding cannot be used for services rendered under the Act. For instance, the Oregon Medicaid program, which is paid for by federal funding, ensures that charges for services related to the Act are paid only with state funds.Q: Can a patient's family members request participation in the Act on behalf of the patient (for example, in cases where the patient is comatose)?A: No. The law requires that the patient ask to participate voluntarily on his or her own behalf.
Q: Does the Act allow euthanasia? A: No. Euthanasia is a different procedure for hastening death. In euthanasia, a doctor injects a patient with a lethal dosage of medication. In the Act, a physician prescribes a lethal dose of medication to a patient, but the patient - not the doctor - administers the medication. Euthanasia is illegal in every state in the US, including Oregon. The Act has been legal in Oregon since November 1997.
Q: What are some terms used to describe other options in end-of-life medical care? Are these are reportable to the Oregon Public Health Division under the Death with Dignity Act?
A: The "double effect" is when medications (such as narcotics) which are prescribed by physicians with the intent to alleviate pain have the unintended secondary effect of suppressing respiration (termed "the double effect"), which may result in death. These are not reportable under the Death with Dignity Act. "Terminal sedation" is when medications (such as barbiturates) are prescribed by physicians to induce a coma with the intent of alleviating pain. These patients are likewise not reportable under the Death with Dignity Act.Q: What information is available on Oregon's Death with Dignity Act website?A: You can find links to all our annual reports, forms, legislation, rules, press releases and other articles. The annual reports themselves contain an historical background of the Act, a description of the laws pertaining to the Act, how data is reported, collected and analyzed, a summary of the year's results, and tables that outline the participant demographics and disease characteristics. The Oregon Health Authority does not collect some information (such as religious affiliation of participants or cost of the procedure); other information is strictly confidential (such as names of participating patients and physicians).Q: What is the Oregon Health Authority's opinion of the Act?A: The Act was a citizen's initiative, enacted because a majority of voting Oregonians believed that persons afflicted with certain terminal illnesses should have the legal right to hasten their deaths. The role of the Oregon Health Authority is to collect data on participation in the Act and issue an annual report. These data are important to parties on both sides of the issue. Our position is a neutral one, and we offer no opinions about the law.Q: What is the status of the federal lawsuit against Oregon's Death with Dignity law?A: November 6, 2001: U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft issues a directive which states, in part, that prescribing, dispensing or administering federally controlled substances to assist suicide violates the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). This new interpretation of the CSA allows the federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to pursue action to revoke prescription-writing privileges and to pursue federal criminal prosecution of participating Oregon physicians.
