The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

text: Baby > Baby Symptoms & Conditions New! Cystic Fibrosis Answers to your biggest questions about CF in baby. What is cystic fibrosis in babies?Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. It affects the epithelial cells, which line the lungs, liver, pancreas, digestive tract and reproductive system, and causes those cells to secrete thick, sticky mucus that interferes with the functioning of those organs.That thick mucus can clog up the airways and make patients prone to pneumonia and other respiratory infections. It also gums up the pancreas and interferes with the secretion of enzymes that are important for digestion. As a result, kids with CF have difficulty absorbing nutrients and gaining weight.In the past, people with CF typically died while they were still children. Today, most people with CF live into their 30s, 40s or even 50s. What are the symptoms of cystic fibrosis in babies?The most common symptom of CF in babies and toddlers is failure to gain weight, coupled with frequent large stools. "Kids have those symptoms because they're not absorbing nutrients, because their pancreas can't make the enzymes to absorb them," says Katherine O'Connor, MD, a pediatric hospitalist at The Children's Hospital at Montefiore in New York City.Sometimes, though, CF isn't diagnosed until later in childhood -- usually it's after a child has experienced years of breathing problems and frequent bouts with pneumonia. Are there any tests for cystic fibrosis in babies?Believe it or not, a sweat test is usually used to detect cystic fibrosis. Kids with CF have high levels of salt in their sweat, so the test checks to see if their sweat is saltier than average.Some states now screen all newborns for CF. It's important to remember, though, that a positive result on a screening test does not mean that your child has CF; it means that additional testing is needed to figure out what's going on with your child. How common is cystic fibrosis?CF is more common in white kids of northern European ancestry. Approximately 1 out of every 3,000 Caucasian children born in the US has CF. About 1 out of every 17,000 African Americans and 1 out of every 90,000 Asian Americans has CF. How did my baby get cystic fibrosis?CF is an inherited disease caused by a genetic mutation. Both parents have to have the mutated gene for the child to have CF. What's the best way to treat cystic fibrosis in babies? "Children with cystic fibrosis get a lot of treatments to help clear the mucus from their lungs, including saline treatments to help thin the mucus and make it easier to clear," O'Connor says. "They might also be on chronic antibiotic therapy to keep infections away." Parents may also have to help perform certain maneuvers, such as clapping on the child's chest while the child's head is lowered, to help him clear his lungs.Kids with CF also need medication to replace their missing pancreatic enzymes so that they can effectively digest food. A nutritionist can work with you to help determine the best diet for your child.Other medications, such as antibiotics and meds to help improve breathing, are used as needed. Children with CF may occasionally need to be hospitalized. Some kids may eventually need a feeding tube, lung transplant or other procedure. What can I do to prevent my baby from having cystic fibrosis?If CF runs in your family, you and your spouse might want to consider genetic testing. Genetic testing will tell you if you carry the mutated CF gene. If you both have the mutation, your future kids have a 25 percent chance of having CF. What do other moms do when their babies have cystic fibrosis? "It seems like there are some mild cases. My son has some digestive issues and is congested, but he's not having trouble gaining weight. We just got his sweat test result and have been referred to a specialist. I feel like there isn't much info out there, and all there is to look at on the Internet are scary stats.""My son has mild CF. He's two and a half, and the only treatments he's needed so far are nebulizer treatments when he has a cold and occasionally an antibiotic if he has a cold that is sitting in his chest. I haven't found a lot of info out there for mild cases like my son, who probably wouldn't have been diagnosed if he were born prior to the newborn screenings being done in my state. He hasn't had any issues with gaining weight or digestive problems.""My son was diagnosed at 10 days with CF, and we live in the Chicago area. He's a great and active seven-month-old, and we're giving him enzymes, nebulizer and therapy every day to help him out." Are there any other resources for cystic fibrosis?

Thought I'll give Indian plants a try! I just planted a stem of store bought mint leaves and they have started to grow! Are there any other plants that grow from parts of store bought stuff?? If u've tried and were successful please share!
Follow-Up Postings:
Malabar spinach Mango flavoure ginger(white ginger) Gongura Edible purslane(ganavayalu koora- Mexican grocery stores). Colacassia Arvi for ror tubers(chama dumpa). Mangoes. Eat and bury the seed in a pot. |
- Posted by usha_gardener 5b (My Page) on Fri, Jun 4, 10 at 0:47
I tried mint. And it survived and is doing good. I am gonna try with potato and arbi. Usha |
Leeks grow wonderfully. I found this out when I was charged per leek for a bundle of three. I got so aggravated I put the left over root in water and within a few days I had the leek pushing up around the center. The funny thing is I keep them in a small plastic container of water next to my air conditioner. They are growing well and I just snip when I want a little. |
Sweet potatoes and garlic. Ginger. |
Green onion (bunching onion), super easy. Trim to the white part when you are ready to use it, then plant the bottoms. My mom says to trim the roots but it doesn't seem to matter. |
I plant my green onions when I don't get a chance to eat them. They'll keep going and grow more when planted. One of my veggie gardening books recommended getting my lemongrass from the grocery store rather than a garden nursery as the better edible version is more likely to be at the grocery store (the grass must have some roots attached). |
I bought a bitter melon and fuzzy melon from the oriental market. Also, a bunch of lemon grass. How do I start the lemon grass? Can I grow the melon seeds or are they hybrids? How do I start the melon grass? I'm in AZ. Should I plant in full sun our part shade? |
Most tuberous roots should sprout, providing they haven't been sprayed to prevent sprouting in storeage. You can try to look for ones that have little sprouts coming out already. Waxed ones probably wouldn't but i haven't tried, doesn't look appetizing anyway! turmeric garlic bulbs can be divided and the cloves planted, these will mature into another crop. However other alliums (leeks, onions) that you plant will probably already be one year old and you will mainly be planting them for seed. Many root vegetables are biennial and will seed in the second year. The tops of carrot, parsnip, turnip, radish, beets (and i'm guessing salsify and scorzonera, but am growing from seed for the first time this year) can all be planted in soil, leaving a good amount of root, like an inch, they will root, and go to seed. This is a good way to see what the root tastes like, choose your favourite individuals and plant them. green onions are sometimes immature bulbing onions, though they may not be good keepers, or scallions which are perennial and keep multiplying. The melons are probably immature at the store (actually i think fuzzy melons are mature fruit, but even winter sqaush is picked early sometimes), so the seeds may not grow. Generally, growing cucurbits from seed is tricky because you don't know what other cucurbits the farm was growing. If it was a local organic farm they may be growing many cucurbits of the same family which could cross. The advantage is that you could ask them. As far as i know cucurbits like to be really hot, many originated in mexico, so full sun should be fine. I always focus on getting them as hot as possible though because i generally live in colder tending climates. I am fairly obsessive about saving seeds from fruits and planting them anyway, i know apples will turn out quite varied and very unlikely be like the apple the seed came from...but when i cut open an apple and there are little sprouts inside i can't possibly kill them! We'll see what they produce, it will be a while. At least i can make vinegar. no luck on the lemon seeds yet (meyer lemons, more cold tolerant and really exquisite, but thin skin) |
beans! beans grow if you buy them at the grocery store.. also dried or ripe peppers! i bought a bunch of dried peppers and threw the seeds of 4 (out of like 200) into some potting soil just to see if they'd germinate... they did! i'll grow some next year & see what they produce. i know that you can germinate goji berries from the dried ones. just soak them in water over night and squish the seeds out & plant them. you could probably also do other berries that way, and things like figs. if your store sells fresh cherries or figs, i'm sure you could also get them going by coating the stems in rooting hormone & letting them do their thing. with the figs, you could probably even plant the seeds or use seeds from the dried figs. if your store has a section for heirloom tomatoes, you can easily save the seeds from those... and cucumbers. heirloom cucumbers. easy peasy! |
For lemongrass, buy ones that look fresh. If there are roots, thats even better. Stick into a glass of water and keep on the window sill. Change the water every other day. In about 2-3 weeks you will have roots about an inch or more long. Plant into a pot with well-draining soil and place in half to full sun. I also have an taro tuber (arbi) which was planted 2 weeks ago. It is sprouting new leaves and looks happy. |

Vietnamese Coriander herb ("Rau Ram" in vietnamese), super easy. Just buy a bunch from the asian grocery store, use the leaves and put the stems in a cup of water, and within days you will see roots. Just put it in good garden soil, give it plenty fo sun and water, and it grows like mad! Spearmint is another good choice. Same thing, use the leaves and put the stems in water. It roots very quickly. I have both of these in my garden, and they accompany most of the vietnamese dishes that I cook. |
There is a big advantage in planting mint from the grocery store. Mints vary quite a bit in taste from one plant to another. You can taste the mint at the store and if it's to your liking, plant it. It will always grow true to the parent plant if you plant from a shoot. |
little bitty garlic cloves that are too bothersome to peel, collect them in a container, and then stick in the dirt instead. lemongrass, root in water seeds from longan, lychee, etc.... plant all the seeds and create a bonsai forest with them! i'm in the process of doing this right now. I grew a 20ft pear tree from a seed at the asian market! it was a ya li pear that I ate and the seed already had a root coming out, i stuck it in the dirt. The tree fruited 5 years later and it was a regular green, roundish and hard (but yummy) fruit, the kind you peel and dip in nuoc mam and sugar and chili sauce. I also took a tiny cutting fiver years ago from a meyer lemon and now have a huge 6 ft bush with tons of lemons |
Epazote (Mexican herb) from the grocery store took well when I tried it... Also I have a Thai basil tree (huge) rooted from a leftover cutting from eating pho one day. Practically any herb from the store (ridiculously expensive) can be rooted from cuttings.. Also, like suprneko said, plant the root end of scallions from the store for a second crop. Make sure to keep the soil moderately wet though, they have small root systems. |

Watercrest (rau can) and waterspinach (rau muong). Buy from the store, use the top parts for your cooking and stick the bottom parts in a jar of water. You'll see roots in a couple of days. Tia |
Nice little bonsai trees can be grown from pomegranate seeds. Jim |

indian eggplant (from eggplant seeds), tomatoes (from most/any), ginger, garlic, arvi (taro), elephant ears, watermelon, bitter melon (get a ripe karela), methi from seeds, mustard from seeds, coriander/cilantro from seeds, dried chilly, mango tree from seeds, lemon grass...the list goes on. Curry plant, tindora WILL NOT grow from seeds. They need root/rooted plant. |
Curry leaf plant--murraya koenigii grows from seeds. I have myself grown several plants from the seeds I get from my bigger plants. They should be almost fresh but the pulp part of the seed should be dried. Anna |
Seeds from fresh dates sprout easily folded in a damp paper towel in a plastic bag. Grows into palm trees. Citrus pips planted in potting soil sprout easily too. I have a small fuyu persimmon tree that I planted from a seed last spring from a southern hemisphere persimmon. |
lemongrass, shiso, basil, mint, chinese parsley, ... I root them in water then when time is right plant them in the garde. This way is much faster than growing from tiny seeds. |
dioscorea batatas Wild Yam is easy from root cuttings taken in the winter or late fall. Tubercles or baby tubers can be found in the leaf axils in late summer and early autumn. These should be taken when about pea size and easily fall away from the vine. They should be planted immediately in individual pots and kept inside till spring. Wild yam prefers sandy to loamy medium, well-drained, moist soils and requires partial shade. http://www.altnature.com/gallery/wild_yam.htm |

How to Grow Turmeric http://www.gardeningblog.net/how-to-grow/turmeric/ http://www.therainforestgarden.com/2011/12/how-to-grow-turmeric.html Aside from its power as a seasoning, there is growing evidence of the health benefits from this herb. It's high in anti-oxidants and may have anti-inflammatory or even anti-caner properties. |

The Wind Blown Look
However I failed to mention that the wind was Out. Of. Control.
Seriously, I don't think it has been that windy since the day we took engagement pictures.
Luke and Megan taking pictures causes the wind to stir up for some reason.
My wonderful friend who took the pictures sent me to them today and they are AWESOME!
It is going to be hard to pick one to use for our Christmas Card.
These however are the pictures that have gone to the "cutting room floor".
While I loved all the pictures, my hair blowing around like I'm a crazy woman is not exactly how I want to say "Merry Christmas".
However, if I ever want to send a greeting that says: "this is what I look like when in a tornado," then I will pick one of these pictures.
I was trying to show how windy it was. I thought Luke was doing this also. Clearly not.
It was around this time that I started getting pouty.
The wind was out of control and was messing with my 'vibe'.

One of the biggest plays from Saturday's Oregon-Washington State game was Thomas Tyner's 66-yard touchdown run with 4:40 left in the second quarter to give the Ducks a 34-21 lead. While the run was brilliant, the biggest highlight on that play was the devastating block by wide receiver Keanon Lowe on safety Deone Bucannon that opened the running lane wide open for Tyner.
After Oregon's practice on Monday morning, Lowe talked about his block and how important blocking is for Oregon's wide receivers.
Describing his block on Bucannon
"It was me and Daryle Hawkins out there on the left side," Lowe said. "It was kind of a stretch run to the left and Daryle did a great job. There wouldn't have been a play if Daryle didn't seal off his guy first. I had the corner and the safety there and I kind of froze the corner and stuck on him. I went to the right and the safety didn't see me and I got to knock him out a little bit."
On whether or not receivers' eyes light up when they see an opportunity for a big block
"Definitely," Lowe said. "They take shots on us, I know how DBs (defensive backs) are, so when I get my shots I'm firing every time."
Best comment from his teammates after the block
"Some of the guys said that was the best block they had ever seen from a receiver," Lowe said. "Some of the big guys, the linemen (said that), so that felt good."
How the team reacted to watching his block on film Monday morning
"It wasn't just me," Lowe said. "I had that highlight block but we had a couple other highlight blocks in the group as receivers. (Receivers coach Matt) Lubick actually thought that was our best game as far as run blocking and being physical. So, we have to build on that and see how physical we can be next week."
On taking pride in blocking
"That's the Oregon offense," Lowe said. "Whether it's through the air or on the ground, we know we have a big part in the offense. We take pride in it and we love when we rush for over 300 (yards), 400, whatever. We love that and we want to keep doing that."
If blocking is as important as catching for receivers
"Definitely," Lowe said. "You can't play receiver here or get reps here if you can't block first, so that's one of the first things that we're taught here as a freshman coming in. I had some great guys ahead of me. I had LT (Lavasier Tuinei), D.J. Davis and Jeff Maehl, even Josh (Huff). They did a great job of mentoring me and teaching."
How satisfied Lowe is with his role in the passing game
"Of course, I'm satisfied," Lowe said. "I'm not the type of guy that cares about any type of stats. I like wins and I like when our offense does well. That's what I'm all about."

The success of biologic therapeutics has begun to reshape today's pharma market.
One of these antibody therapies, Rituximab (Rituxan; Roche/Genentech), showed worldwide sales in 2009 of $5.6 billion. This, among others including Trastuzumab (Herceptin; F Hoffman-La Roche), have shown promise for treatment of patients with leukemia, lymphomas, breast, and other cancer types due to their specificity and reduced side effects.
One of the mechanisms that plays a central role in the response to clinical antibody therapy is antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. This involves the response of natural killer cells to bind to specific antibody-coated target cells, such as CD20 and HER2 expressing cells, to promote the death of the target cell.
With many of the existing patents covering these treatments set to expire in the next few years, the development of biologic therapeutics similar to the original drug (biosimilars) has become increasingly important, according to the Microplate Instrumentation Blog, BioTek, Winooski, Vt.
As a direct result, assays that can assess the ability of a biosimilar to act in a manner similar to the original biologic have also seen increased interest. The current "gold standard" ADCC assay incorporates 51Cr, notes the company. The procedure involves labeling and incubating target cells with the radioligand, assessment of the labeling procedure, and finally performance of the actual assay. Not only is this time-consuming, but involves the use and eventual costly disposal of radioactive material. Newer ADCC assays, however, have recently been developed. They have incorporated luminescent, time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), or homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) technologies in substitution for the previously used radioligand. These assay chemistries have proven to be easier to use and more amenable to automation, while still delivering accurate results, according to the company.
The company presented a Webinar discussing these new chemistries, and how they can be automated in 96- or 384-well format. Click here to view the information presented and learn how the combination of assay and automation can provide hands-free, higher throughput processing for the development of new antibody therapeutics.

Curve Split Another Double Header; Three Hits For Maggi And Howard
The Curve were making up a rained out game with a double header:
Altoona Curve 2, Akron Aeros 0 (Game 1)
After shutting out the Aeros last night, the Curve pitching staff continued their dominance with another 7 shutout innings in Game 1 of the double header. Tonight it was Aaron Pribanic who earned his 4th win with 7 scoreless innings, for a (shortened) complete game. He gave up 6 hits, no walks, and also worked around two errors by his fielders. Pribanic had at least one base runner on in all but one inning. Akron had a small threat going in the 6th, when Pribanic gave up back-to-back singles with one out, but a foul pop ended that inning. With one out in the 7th, Pribanic gave up a hit, then another batter reached on 3B Jeremy Farrell's throwing error. Pribanic got a grounder force out and a fly out to end that inning.
The Curve also posted just 6 hits, but they made them count. Farrell singled in the bottom of the 2nd, and moved to second base on a wild pitch. He scored on DH Eric Fryer's single up the middle. Fryer also advanced to second on another wild pitch, and 1B Miles Durham walked, but they were left on base. CF Starling Marte contributed the Curve's only other run with a solo home run in the 3rd. Marte also singled in the 1st inning. SS Jordy Mercer singled in the 2nd, but was picked off and caught stealing, and singled again in the 6th. C Tony Sanchez walked in the 4th and stole second base.
Aeros 8, Curve 1 (Game 2)
Curve starter Bryan Morris continued the streak with 3 scoreless innings, in which he gave up only a walk, and struck out 3 batters. But the streak ended in the 4th, when Morris started out by giving up a single and a walk. He was relieved by Matt McSwain. The first batter McSwain faced dropped down a sacrifice bunt to put both runners in scoring position. McSwain then walked the next two batters, forcing in a run, before striking out two batters to end the inning. McSwain came back out in the 5th and began with a hit batter and a walk. The lead runner stole third base, then scored on an RBI single. A triple drove in two more runs, to give Akron a 4-0 lead.
The Curve were held to just 3 hits, and two of those were by LF Quincy Latimore. Latimore singled in the 1st but was thrown out trying to steal second base. He singled again in the 4th and was left on base. The only other hit was a solo home run by C Eric Fryer in the 5th inning, for the only Curve run of the game. The last 7 Curve batters were retired in order.
Brian Leach took the mound in relief of McSwain in the 6th and retired the side in order. The Aeros rallied again in the top of the 7th. The inning began with a double, a single, and a walk to load the bases. A triple cleared the bases for 3 runs. After a walk, a sacrifice fly brought in the 4th run of the inning. Leach surrendered another single, then was relieved by Noah Krol, who ended the inning with a grounder force out.
Hit-Fest In Bradenton; Curve Pitchers Throw A Shutout
Friday night's action:
Altoona Curve 2, Akron Aeros 0
Three Curve pitchers combined to throw a 3-hit shutout of the Aeros. Starter Mike Colla had to work around runners on base in 5 of his 6 innings, but he held the Aeros scoreless and earned his second win. He scattered 3 hits, 2 walks, and one hit batter over those innings. The only inning in which Akron had 2 runners on base was the 3rd, when Colla walked two. Anthony Claggett also gave up two walks in the 8th, after a 1-2-3 inning in the 7th, but he did not allow a hit or a run. Noah Krol picked up his 9th Save with three quick ground outs in the 9th.
The Curve posted 11 hits, but scored only two runs (8 runners left on base). In the bottom of the 1st, with two outs, LF Quincy Latimore looped a single into right field, then scored from first on SS Jordy Mercer's ringing double into center field. C Tony Sanchez singled and DH Kris Watts doubled in the 2nd inning, but Sanchez was out at the plate on the throw in from left field. The Curve added an unearned run in the 3rd. 2B Brock Holt led off the inning with a strikeout, but he reached first when strike three was a wild pitch. Holt stole second base, then scored when the Akron center fielder made an error on Mercer's ball.
The Curve put runners on base in each inning after that, but could not bring any of them around to score. Sanchez and 1B Miles Durham both singled in the 4th inning, and that was the only inning after the 3rd when the Curve had two runners on base. CF Starling Marte singled twice, Watts singled, and Mercer doubled again.
Curve Split Double Header; Homers For Diaz, Baker, And Grossman
Thursday night's action with the Pirates' lower minor league teams…..
Akron Aeros 6, Altoona Curve 1 (Game 1)
The Aeros began today's double-header with a 5-run 1st inning, and the Curve could not catch up in Game 1. 2B Brock Holt went 3-for-3 with a triple and two singles.
Curve starter Aaron Thompson did not get out of the first inning. With one out, A pair of doubles drove in one run. A catchers' interference call on C Eric Fryer put the next batter on first base, and a single loaded the bases. Thompson got a strikeout, but then walked in a run. Two more singles drove in three more runs for a 5-0 lead. Tim Alderson relieved Thompson, and Alderson ended the inning with a tapper back to the mound.
Alderson gave up a double and a single in the 2nd inning, then retired the next three batters to get out of the inning without further runs scoring. He went on to retire the next 11 batters in order (14 in order overall), before giving up a solo home run in the 6th.
Holt recorded his first single in the top of the 1st, and CF Starling Marte reached base on an error, but they were not able to come around to score. Holt singled again in the 3rd, with two outs. That time he was out at second on a grounder force out. SS Jordy Mercer singled in the 4th, and was left on base. The Curve scored their only run in the 5th. 1B Miles Durham walked in the 5th, and moments later, Holt drove Durham in with his triple.
Altoona Curve 2, Akron Aeros 1 (Game 2)
Jared Hughes pitched into the 6th inning, and kept the Aeros scoreless in the night-cap. Hughes gave up 4 hits and 2 walks, and worked around runners on base in four of the innings he pitched. He left two runners in scoring position in the 1st, and allowed another single in the 2nd. In the 4th, the Aeros doubled, and the runner advanced to third on a bunt. A grounder to 3B Shelby Ford became a fielder's choice when Ford's throw home let C Kris Watts tag out the runner at the plate. Hughes gave up another single and a walk in the 6th, and was relieved by Michael Dubee. Dubee moved both runners into scoring position with a wild pitch, but ended the inning with a strikeout.
The Curve got onto the scoreboard in the 2nd inning. DH Jeremy Farrell doubled into center field, and 1B Miles Durham walked. Ford lifted a single into left field, allowing Farrell to score from second base. A pair of doubles added another run for the Curve in the 3rd. With one out, CF Starling Marte doubled into center field. Marte scored on LF Quincy Latimore's double into left. Latimore also singled and Farrell walked in the 6th, but the Aeros changed pitchers, and two strikeouts ended the inning.
Akron's only run came in the bottom of the 7th. Dubee gave up a lead-off double and a walk, and with two outs, an RBI single up the middle brought in the lead runner.
Taillon's First Loss; Marauders And Curve Bombarded
The Power played a double-header this afternoon, and the Curve and Marauders have evening games:
Lexington Legends 4, West Virginia Power 2 Game 1
Jameson Taillon suffered his first pro loss this afternoon, as the Power were one-hit in the first game of their double-header. Taillon began by giving up a solo homer in the bottom of the 1st. Lexington scored two more in the 2nd inning with a single, a double, then an RBI ground out and an fielder's choice and throwing error by 3B Eric Avila. Taillon had to work around another fielding error, this one by 1B Matt Curry, and a single in the 3rd inning, but he kept Lexington from scoring. A single, a stolen base, and another single drove in the Legends' 4th run in the 4th inning. Taillon gave up a total of 7 hits, no walks, for 4 runs (3 earned) in his 4 innings, and he struck out 4 batters.
The Power threatened in the 2nd inning, when both RF Justin Howard and DH Jairo Marquez walked, but a double play got the Legends out of that inning. LF Andy Vasquez reached base in the 5th when he was hit by a pitch, but he was picked off first base. The Power scored their only runs in the 6th, on only one hit. 2B Kevin Mort and LF Rogelios Noris both walked to lead off the inning, then SS Drew Maggi singled to load the bases. CF Mel Rojas's grounder force out with a throwing error by the Legends' shortstop let Mort and Noris score. Curry also walked, but two strikeouts ended the inning.
Power 9, Legends 3 Game 2
Apparently the Power were saving up their hits and runs for the second game. They put up 14 hits on the way to 9 runs, while holding Lexington to just 5 hits. DH Dan Grovatt, 1B Matt Curry, and C Kawika Emsley-Pai each had 3 hits, with homers by Grovatt, Curry, and LF Rogelios Noris.
The Power jumped out to a 5-run lead in the top of the 1st. With one out, CF Mel Rojas and Grovatt singled, then Curry brought them in with his 3-run homer. Emsley-Pai singled up the middle, and Noris added his 2-run homer for a 5-0 lead.
Curry led off the 3rd with a single, and he scored from first on Emsley-Pai's double. Noris tripled, plating Emsley-Pai, and a wild pitch let Noris come across the plate. Power up 8-0. Dan Grovatt made it 9-0 with a solo home run in the top of the 4th.
Tyler Waldron made the start in Game 2. Waldron buzzed through the first two innings, retiring 6 Legends in order. He loaded the bases in the 3rd, on a walk and two singles, but got a double play to end the frame. The lead-off batter in the bottom of the 4th homered for the only run Waldron surrendered. Kevin Decker relieved Waldron to begin the 5th. He retired the side with two strikeouts and a fly out in that inning, but gave up 2 more runs in the 6th. A double, a single, and a walk loaded the bases for Lexington. A sacrifice fly brought in one run, and a throwing error by Decker allowed the second run of the inning to score. Decker also retired the side in order in the 7th, earning the win.
Pribanic Pitches 6 Scoreless; Marauders Are One-Hit
After wins for everyone on Saturday, it's losses for everyone on Sunday:
Erie SeaWolves 2, Altoona Curve 1
It took 13 innings to finish this pitching duel, when the Curve could not respond to a run scored by the SeaWolves in the top of the inning.
The Curve had put a runner on base in three of the first four innings: a double by SS Jordy Mercer in the 2nd, a single by 2B Brock Holt in the 3rd, and a single by LF Quincy Latimore in the 4th. The Curve scored first, with a run in the bottom of the 5th. C Eric Fryer led off with a single, and he scored on 1B Miles Durham's double to center field.
Starter Aaron Pribanic mowed down the SeaWolves with 6 scoreless innings. He struck out 4 batters and did not walk any, and had to work around only 2 hits, plus a batter reaching base on a throwing error. After a single in the 2nd, Pribanic retired 13 consecutive Erie batters. He gave up another single to begin the 7th inning, then was relieved by Matt McSwain. Pribanic had thrown 79 pitches, with 53 strikes.
McSwain gave up a double, but got out of the 7th inning without a run scoring. RF Brad Chalk helped out with a timely double play, when he made the catch on a fly ball, then threw out a base runner at third. Tim Alderson took the mound to begin the 8th inning, and he retired the side in order. But in the 9th, Alderson gave up a run on a single, a throwing error by 3B Jeremy Farrell on a bunt play, and an RBI double.
The Curve had only one base runner in the 6th – 8th innings, when Holt was hit by a pitch in the 8th. DH Tony Sanchez singled in the bottom of the 9th, but got no further, and the game moved into extra innings.
Alderson pitched a scoreless top of the 10th, and the Curve went down in order in the bottom of the inning. Michael Dubee took over for Alderson in the top of the 11th. Dubee pitched 2 scoreless innings, allowing only a single in the 12th. The Curve went down in order again in the bottom of the 11th, but threatened in the 12th. Farrell was hit by a pitch to begin the inning, then Fryer walked. A double play ended the inning without a run scoring.
Chris Leroux came on to pitch the top of the 13th, which began with a triple lined into right field. Chalk threw the ball in to the cut-off man Durham, whose relay throw went wild for an error, letting the runner score the go-ahead run. Leroux retired the next three batters, and the Curve had one more chance.
Pinch-hitter Jose Hernandez led off the bottom of the 13th with a line drive double into left field. Holt put down a sacrifice bunt to move Hernandez to third base. CF Starling Marte popped out to first base, and Latimore was hit by a pitch, and advanced to second on defensive indifference. But a strikeout by Mercer ended the game with the two runners in scoring position, and Erie had the win.

Even if you hate him, you have to admit that LeBron James is one of the most epic players in the NBA. He's huge, he's fast, he's, strong, he dominates basketball games, his beard is enormous and cetera. Like Wiz Khalifa, everything he does, he does it big. (With the possible exception of fourth quarters, depending on the night.)
And when we say "everything," we mean everything. Even when he's drinking tea, it's the most epic tea to have ever been sipped. From Lee Jenkins' epic Sports Illustrated profile:
LeBron James sinks into a restaurant booth on the first floor of the Westin in Jersey City, N.J., and orders a chamomile tea. The sun is setting on a Saturday in the middle of April, and through the windows he can see cars snaking toward the Holland Tunnel, beckoned by the lights of New York City. "For me," says James, "this is chillin' time." It is the travel day between two back-to-backs, four games in four cities, and he is swaddled in black sweats and a red Heat baseball cap with a flat black brim. His voice is hoarse but he says he doesn't have a sore throat. He prepares the tea as if it is a science project, lifting a small jar of honey and slowly pouring it into a teaspoon he holds over the mug, until the honey is about to overflow. He lowers the spoon and gently stirs, then squeezes three lemon wedges into the tea and sucks the rinds.
This has to be the most amazing description of a person getting ready to drink their tea that has ever been written. If you filmed this scene with slow motion HD cameras, soundtracked it with some Explosions in the Sky and put it on YouTube, it'd do a million views easily. Just picture the honey slowly dripping in to the spoon and lemon juice droplets spraying from the lemons and tell me this isn't an instant viral hit.
But it's not just tea that LeBron does epically. It's also every day life, at least according to Shane Battier, who broke things down with the fervor of a stereotypical intellectual blowhard from a movie, or alternately, Bill Walton.
"He is a global icon, a basket-ball monolith, the most prevalent and recognizable athlete of our generation," says Battier. "And he's one of a kind, because he's the first to rise to prominence in the Information Age, which is why he's such a fascinating sociological observation. He's accountable every single day for every single thing, from how he plays to what he tweets to what he says in the pre- and the postgame interviews. He has a camera and a microphone on him wherever he goes, and then when he [goes out to] dinner, there's a camera phone on him. This is what he signed up for. There is a price to pay. He understands that. But I don't think a lot of guys could handle it."
Is this the thesis statement for Shane Battier's graduate dissertation on the effect of 24-7 media coverage on superstar athletes? If it isn't, it should be. These few sentences make LeBron James sound like a superhero who has been captured and is being studied to find out how his powers work, or like the scientist from "Independence Day" explaining to Bill Pullman what they've been doing at Area 51.
The best part is that these are only parts of the first two paragraphs of Jenkins' profile. It's an excellent read and it will probably make you like LeBron James a teensy bit more, even though there are certainly parts where he sounds like he's reading off talking points. However, these are by far the best parts at making anything LeBron James does seem like it's the most important thing that could ever be done. A few more sentences like this and you might thing you're at a sneak peak of "The Avengers."

view more less of this reviewLoved the displays, live presentations and annimation. Appreciated the viewpoints and explanations. I found myself saying, "I never thought of it that way, it makes perfect sense," and I have been reading and teaching Genesis for 40 years and reading the Bible for at least 65 years. Definately wear your walking shoes and take advantage of all the resting places where you can linger, watch and read if you relish the detail. If you are a big picture kind of person you can move faster and get an overview of the story. Elizabeth's Story, a live presentation, was a little wordy and could have moved faster to hold the interest of some younger visitors.

Banned for no reason at all {WoW}
Oct 9th 2008 9:25AM So to chime in here since I cant log into the WoW forums. I was banned yesterday. I had just re-subbed my account 6 days before that. I was banned for messing with the WoW economy. Now I understand that means they thaught I baught or sold gold. But I think I had maybe 40ish gold on the entire account. I've never baught gold, I've never sold gold. I've since then sent an email in to the Account Managment team, so we will see where that goes. I'll be a little upset if this stays the way it is now. Granted my highest lvl is only 47 but still. I just re-subbed the account of a year of not playing.....So frustrated.

Hi Gang,
I found a native vine 2-3 years ago with bright red berries, sort of translucent red, and shiny. I cleaned up the fruits and each one had a single unique seed. So, it was easy to identify the vine as Moonseed Vine, or Carolina Moonseed Vine--even though it grows wild in the greather Houston area. I put the seeds out in the top 1/4 or 1/2 inch of good potting soil, in a gallon container and left them over winter--exposed to the rain and sun. The seeds germinated in spring and after the tops were a few inches high I put them up into individual containers for another year. Then, I planted them out. The vine is not exactly slow growing, but it is a well behaved vine--not at all rampant. It will grow to the top of a small tree (plum tree) or over some shrubs and is mostly not noticeable until the berries ripen. Then it is very attractive. The link below can guide you to a seed source so you can grow your own vines. Cordially, Joe

This M31 image is a composite of 35 150-second images at ISO 1600 shot with a Canon 60Da and Canon 85mm f/1.8 lens at f/2.8. For more detail in thegalaxy, I made a composite with an image shot with a fully modded (no filter) Canon 450D through a Canon 70-200 mm lens at f/2.8 and 160 mm - ISO 1000; 25 - 150-second exposures and 15 60- second exposures. I used an AstroTrac mount to track for the 60Da data and the Losmandy Star Lapse mount for the 450D data.

Comments about Dakota Smith Skyline Salsa:
I quit wearing contacts & went back to glasses. My daughter recommended Coastal for the free pair. I honestly have never enjoyed wearing glasses full-time until this pair. They fit well, are lightweight & comfortable & the scratch resistant coating is very high quality. I also LOVE the way I could load my picture and "try on" all the pairs. These glasses compliment ME better than any I've ever had!

Comments about Dakota Smith Skyline Salsa:
I ordered these frames to check my prescription before buying expensive frames. They arrived quickly and the prescription works well. The frames are lightweight & comfortable, but may get sweaty at the bridge of the nose in the warmer months. I like the partial frameless design across the bottom. I am not thrilled about how the light green layer around the lenses looks. It is intentional in the design of the frame, but it ends up looking like I have Coke-bottle lenses, when, in fact, I have an ordinary lens that is thinner than the frame. Overall though, these frames are a decent choice if one wants a stylish frame without the gastly rectangular shape so ubiquitous now. I am obligated to tell you that I will receive a minimal credit for writing this review.

Comments about Dakota Smith Skyline Salsa:
This was my first purchase from this site. I like these glasses because they are light weight, the lenses are not too small, they fit well with no adjustments. I think they might be a bit too big for my face, I have a very petite face, but on most people the fit would probably be good. Also there is a green outline above the lenses, it wasn't too clear when I first looked at the pair online. I'm not sure how I feel about that. If it were not for these things, they would probably be my favorite glasses.

Fentanyl patch & witnessing - page 3

0Aug 27, '06 by barbyannQuote from elkparkI realize you have all the experience in this area but it just sounds crazy. When flushing fentanyl does it not become so diluted that it is inert? Why on earth would any water authority not want fentanyl to mix with raw sewage?
Like you, the DEA prefers the "cut 'n flush" method of disposal, as I noted, but the DEA official I spoke to did say that the water authorities in some communities object to this -- because of the fentanyl going into the water supply, not because of the "pieces of plastic" -- and, if that is the case for a particular hospital, then it is also acceptable to store the used patches in an "inaccessible" locked container to await incineration. -
0Aug 28, '06 by SitcomNurseIt has come to the attention of NYS that people are hoarding the used patches and in conjunction, taking the "leftovers". Ew. Our facility has strict rules on placing and removal, we must check for placement every shift, and witness the disposal. We put it right in the sharps, as this is a locked unit that is destroyed. We dont put it in a seperate container, as anyone could walk away with that container, and consider it yummy.
Any normal way of disposing of a narcotic drug is acceptable, we just opted for the sharps. And the patches must be written on when you place them, so you dont put an old one on, say its new and take a walk.
And this is all written into the policy. I think thats why there are differences, it depends on your policy. Flushing, tossing, cutting... all policy issues. I dont believe there is a mandate on how it is destroyed/disposed of, so long as it is.
Hope this helps. -
0Aug 28, '06 by TheCommuter, ASN, RN Senior ModeratorQuote from gtmooreI'm an LVN at a large long term care facility. I am permitted to remove and waste used Fentanyl pain patches without another nurse having to witness the act. Usually I just throw the used patches in the regular wastebasket with the rest of the garbage.My facility does not require a 2nd RN to sign off when a fentanyl patch is removed and wasted. An RN today was surprised that this was the case and said everywhere she has worked, the removal of the patch needed to be witnessed. What are other facilities policies on this?
When applying a new Fentanyl patch to someone's chest wall, I always sign and date the patch.

St. Dymphna Comments
Dymphna was fourteen when her mother died. Damon is said to have been afflicted with a mental illness, brought on by his grief. He sent messengers throughout his town and other lands to find some woman of noble birth, resembling his wife, who would be willing to marry him. When none could be found, his evil advisers told him to marry his own daughter. Dymphna fled from her castle together with St. Gerebran, her confessor and two other friends. ... Continue Reading

St. Dymphna,
Please pray to our Lord that my mind turn not to memories and perceptions of my failings and inadequacies, but, rather, that I turn my mind to the love of Jesus and that I hear our Lord's voice calling to me whenever I fall into negativity about myself and others. Thank you for the gift of the medications that treat my depression, Bi-Polar, ADHD, and OCD. Without them I would surely perish into a life of evil. St. Dymphna, pray for me. St. Dymphna, I love you. -

Dear St. Dymphna, I ask you to please help my beautiful daughter who is living in fear and anxiety. She cries each night because she is afraid that someone will hurt her. She is afraid that God will take her away from me and that she will never see me again. She fears for her Grandmother when she is not with her. I want this worry and this anxiety to stop. It is taking over her whole life and she deserves to enjoy it and to be happy - without worrying about things that are not in control. Please help her St. Dymphna. Please be with her and help her to trust in God. Please hear my prayers...

Please be with my grandson who suffers from several mental issues. Please give him the strength and guidance he needs at this time.

Saint Dymphna, I ask for your divine intercession in this time of great worry for me. 6 weeks ago, I used a drug that gave me a very bad trip, and has since made me anxious at all times, depressed and have psychosis. I hadn't ever suffered from mental illness before, and do not know what's happening right now, or if I'm thinking straight. I ask your help to cope, as it is very difficult and I am finding it tough to want to get out of bed any day. I had always gone to mass in my life, but in the past year, I have let myself slip. I had always prayed every night before, but in the past year, I almost stopped entirely. Now, I am praying to our Lord for help and forgiveness, and I ask that you help me in these prayers. Amen.

I've been growing for a long time, but have come to something that stumps me. Amaryllis, or hippstruem, I've successfully had them produce babies from bulbs, but now I've got some seed from my pink and white specimen. Does anyone know the proper way to cultivate them. I'm eager to try. |

This past winter I got some of mine to produce seeds and I tried the "baggie method" (you can learn about it by searching this forum) but had no luck. Then I got a side salad container from Wendy's and filled it with soil and placed the seeds standing on end in the container and put the lid on it. Essentially making a mini-greenhouse and had great germination results. I also placed some in a pot and covered it with a sandwhich bag and had the same results. Just made sure the soil was moist but not soggy. Good Luck! |

Ive found them very easy to grow from seed, I just pop them into seed trays by pushing them in sideways like a disc and keep moist (im guessing youre doing them in spring or summer when the weather is warm?). Ive even done this with not so fresh seeds and the germination is very high with them. easy peasy :) |
I used fresh seed and put them in a seed-tray in a heated propagator. I think I just covered the seeds. They germinated in a few weeks. |
Hi I just place the seed in water if it floats its good and 3 weeks later I got a root then 2 week after I got a green stem when the stem awas about 2 inches and then I planted it in earth and now I got 2 stems. I will have to make a tutorial for you I will work on it. Anna |
