A colony of termites can reduce big buildings to dust in no time, says Madhumita Srinivasan
These workers can take on the big guns. Though it sounds like the metaphoric summary of a movie plot, in the real world, it is a problem that many home-owners face. The termite colony's working class can be relentless and quick in damaging your furniture, beams, panelling, and partitions… anything that's wooden.
The major culprits are the subterranean termites, which "live below the ground and construct mud tubes from the nest to the food source — these tubes are a sure sign of infestation," says the Pest Control India (PCI) website.
"Termite-infestation is a regular affair for which we get calls throughout the year," says Suneel Joshi, Assistant General Manager, Technical Training, PCI.
He explains the termites' temptations: "Sap wood is most prone to termite attacks as it is softer and retains moisture. It's the peripheral layer of a tree that is not mature yet and transports water from the roots to the rest of the tree. Core wood which is harder and adds strength to the tree is less prone to attack, provided it is allowed to mature enough."
Basically any sort of wood can tempt termites. But being an undercover inside-out job, the infestation can be hard to notice unless any sign of damage starts appearing on the external surface — which can take years — by which time the damage has gone too far and will need intervention.
Major damage can be prevented if you learn to look for the signs. Vishal Malhan, Chief of Marketing in the Fevicol Division of Pidilite Industries shares some tips:
"If you notice a swarming of termites, especially during the pre-monsoon season, or the presence of hundreds of discarded wings, then you should be cautious that a fully developed colony is close by. Then come the mud tubes running along or coming out of cracks in walls, ceiling, or flooring." If you have managed to identify it early enough, an anti-termite solution (eco-friendly options are also available) applied directly on the affected area should do the trick.
But a large-scale infestation demands that you call in expert pest controllers to do the job for you.
Avoid any wooden parts of the house being in direct contact with soil.
Avoid wooden refuse being buried under slabs or around the building.
Improper drainage can cause moisture accumulation at the base of the foundation, and provides an ideal home for termites.
Repair leaking pipes, shower recesses or rusty down pipes.
Don't try to get rid of a termite colony by yourself, as termites have the ability to quickly relocate to another part of the home. Contact a licensed pest controller immediately.

Napoli eliminates Marseille from Champions League
NAPLES, Italy (AP)
Gonzalo Higuain scored twice as Napoli eliminated Marseille from the Champions League with a 3-2 win on Wednesday.
After Andre Ayew gave Marseille the lead 10 minutes in at the San Paolo stadium, Napoli hit back with volleyed goals from Gokhan Inler and Higuain in the 22nd and 24th, respectively.
Florian Thauvin equalized for Marseille in the 64th minute but Higuain restored Napoli's lead in the 75th.
Substitute Lorenzo Insigne almost scored another for Napoli in the 84th when his effort hit the post.
Napoli is level with Arsenal on nine points atop Group F after the London club won 1-0 at last season's runner-up Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund is next with six points and Marseille is last with none.
Napoli is unbeaten at home in six Champions League matches.
At times, however, it looked like Napoli's home record might be in danger due to some poor defending.
Ayew put Marseille ahead by heading in past Christian Maggio following a corner.
Inler used his chest to control the ball before unleashing his dipping shot from beyond the area. Higuain then hammered the ball in after taking a pass from Goran Pandev inside the area.
Thauvin also volleyed in to equalize after beating Pablo Armero. But Higuain was again in the right place at the right time and used one touch to steer home a cross from promising Belgium forward Dries Mertens for the winner. The goal took his tally to three goals in as many Champions League matches.
Before kickoff, a bus carrying Marseille supporters was damaged during clashes involving fans.

Yemen: two French-Tunisians citizens held incommunicado since May 2014
Alkarama sent an urgent appeal to the Special Rapporteur against Torture concerning two French-Tunisians, Aissaoui Taha and Ben Ayed Mourad, arrested and secretly detained in Yemen since May 2014.
The two men moved to Yemen a decade ago and built their families there, while studying in Hadhramaut Directorate, in the South of Yemen. On 7 and 8 May respectively, they were arrested without any warrant by agents of the political security organisation (Al Amn Assiyassi) and brought to one of its branches. In the following days, media reported that the authorities believed they were linked to terrorist activities, even if the two victims' well-known pacifism seems to dismiss such allegations.
Their families remain to date unaware of Mourad Ben Ayed and Taha Aissaoui' fates and the authorities still refuse to provide them with any information on their place of detention, in disregard of their most fundamental rights. Their lawyer was also denied visits, under the pretext that no criminal procedure had been engaged against them so far, in violation of international fair trial norms.
These elements are of concern as the two aforementioned individuals are probably subjected to torture while being secretly detained, the Yemeni political security being notorious for such practices in cases related to terrorism. The waves of arrests against citizens, sometimes arbitrarily, that is being carried out by the authorities in their fight against terrorism, is all the more preoccupying.
Alkarama consequently called upon the Special Rapporteur against Torture to intervene with the Yemeni authorities requesting that the victims be immediately released or at least, placed under the protection of the law and that their families and lawyer be authorised to visit them as soon as possible. If acts of torture against Mourad Ben Ayed and Taha Aissaoui were to be confirmed, the authorities will have to open a thorough and impartial investigation and prosecute the perpetrators.

LONDON -- The United States Coast Guard (USCG) has turned its investigation of violations of a Shell ship drilling in the Arctic over to the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to the Sunday Telegraph.
The USCG identified 16 violations on board the Noble Discoverer, including fire hazards. The findings are raising questions about Shell's ability to safely extract oil in the region, the Sunday Telegraph said.
A spokesman for Shell said, "Shell and Noble take the results of this inspection seriously and have already satisfactorily resolved nearly all of the 16 points identified in the USCG report."
He added, "To further ensure the readiness of the Noble Discoverer to take part in Shell's ongoing exploration program offshore Alaska, the vessel will be transported to a shipyard in Asia for further inspections and repairs. The Noble Discoverer's return to Alaska will be dictated by the scope of work identified while in dry dock and the timeline associated with that work."

You can't, however, use the change as proof of AGW, because that would be circular reasoning.
No, it would be called science.
(A) We've known the mechanism since the 1800s when Fourier et al first raised warnings about CO2s spectral absorbsion lines and the implication the coal spewing industrial revolution might have on atmosphere. This is validated science and underwrites so much physics that we'd have to turn the clock back on at least a century of scientific understanding in multiple fields if it wasn't true.
(B) We have a solid graps of how much CO2 is being put into the atmosphere from both economic modelling and satelite and terrestrial telemetry.
(C) This permits us to do a back of the napkin calculation as to how much energy (thermal and kinetic) is being added to the climate system from human intervention (its a lot).
(D) This in turn gives rise to more complicated modelling that can tell us how much of that energy goes to warming, how much to increased kinetic activity (cyclones/etc), how much gets absorbed by the ocean and how much radiates back out.
(E) The end result both matches up with observation (And *n o* natural process can account for what we are seeing. Volcanic activity is incredibly insubstantial. Even krakatoa hardly put a dent in it. And solar activity is also quite minor).
Occams razor says we *must* conclude humans are causing substantial climate change, because if they are not we have to find a mechanism that (A) Prevents physics from working as it is known, and (B) Makes it look like physics is working as it is known. Should this be found, it would be Nobel prize level monumental. However, as they say, big claims require big proof, and that proof is not remotely forthcoming.

Great Idea
Ran across this on another forum.......grand idea.
It was from a lady named Leigh......
"Looking for fantastic cheap or free display shelves for your rubber
stamps? Many of you will have an old baby's crib in your attic or
garage. They are also sold cheaply at garages sales, salvation army
stores etc. Look for one with wooden slats for the sides. Remove the
hardware from the entire side piece, turn the side of the crib on
it's end, and viola! Beautiful stamp shelves! The slats make the
perfect depth shelf to display your wood mounted stamps."
Well, dummy here...I'm not sure I "get" it??? LOL!!! Are you taking the sides off and hanging on a wall?? Guess I'll have to look closer at the next crib I see...I've never had kids...LOL!!! But I've been dying to find a way to get my stamps out of boxes and baskets so I can see what I have...LOL!
Tiger, I think that's the idea. The slats would normally run vertical, but you would turn it so they're horizontal.
Guidelines were changed on cribs quite a few years ago-- the slats are not supposed to be wide apart enough for a baby's head to fit through, for safety's sake. So you might be able to find a crib at a yard sale that someone kept in the attic and can't sell as a usable crib. Although, I'm sure there are other crafty, furniture-type uses for them, too!

Gov. Jerry Brown signs tax bill benefiting Tesla
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gov. Jerry Brown announced Thursday that he signed legislation creating a $420 million tax credit for aerospace contractor Lockheed Martin in a bill that also includes other tax incentives apparently designed to benefit California-based electric car maker Tesla Motors Inc.
California is one of five states competing for a $5 billion Tesla battery manufacturing plant, but Brown's administration has largely declined to discuss what the state is doing to persuade the company to build it in its home state.
A legislative debate that lasted for hours July 3 over AB2389 by Assemblyman Steve Fox, D-Palmdale, focused nearly entirely on the 15-year tax incentive for Lockheed Martin Corp., which is bidding for a $55 billion federal aerospace contract. Competitor Northrop Grumman Corp. complained it was unfair.
The tax changes, including the language helping battery manufacturers, were sought by the governor in the final days before the Legislature broke for its summer recess. That prompted the incoming leader of the state Senate, Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, to call it a "jam job."
The changes sought by the Brown administration included adding language covering tax credits for a range of industries, but no companies are specifically named. The word "battery" never appears in the bill's language, but is referenced in an analysis prepared by the Senate Appropriations Committee dated July 3, the last legislative business day before the summer break and the same day lawmakers voted on it.
The analysis said tax relief would be available to companies that fall under federal NAICS manufacturing code 3359, which includes "battery manufacturing."
"The publicly stated intent of the bill is to support the aerospace industry; consequently, it is unclear why NAICS 3359 is also included," the analysis said.
The complex language of the bill appears to make Tesla eligible for the same tax credits as Lockheed Martin, but neither the bill's author nor the offices of other lawmakers who worked on the legislation could explain exactly what sweeteners are now available to Tesla.
"At their request we put the change in," said Fox's chief of staff, Ann Turtle.
She referred questions about the Tesla tax credit to Brown's GO-Biz Department, which submitted the language for AB2389 but declined to explain what incentives are available to Tesla. The agency instead issued a statement saying it is dedicated to promoting manufacturing in California.
Assemblywoman Shannon Grove, R-Bakersfield, referenced Tesla's battery plant in a previous floor debate on the bill, saying she had written a letter to Tesla CEO Elon Musk about the tax credits. The letter, which she later posted online, outlined competitive and legal challenges she said Tesla would face in building its battery factory in California.
"You and I both know that this offering does not do nearly enough to make the California business climate competitive in the national and global market," she said. "And you can bet the Legislature will brag about how accommodating they are being by tossing tax credits your way, yet offering nothing in substantial change to the anti-business climate in this state."

Stories matter because life and faith don't exist in a vacuum. Each person's journey to find Jesus is unique and at UFC, we think it is valuable to hear and know how to share those stories. Below are a few stories that have been shared on Sunday mornings at University Fellowship as well as a guide to how you might begin to tell your story. Take a listen and then give it a try.
The Bible Project
One of our values at University Fellowship is to be Biblical, so this year we are inviting people to participate in something we are calling "The Bible Project." We have selected a different book of the Bible for each month, which we will read through multiple times (depending on the length of the book) as a simple way to approach the Bible together as a church. If you'd like a handy-dandy bookmark with all the details, you can pick one up on Sunday mornings at church, or download the digital version below. We hope you'll join us for this project.

Course 1: Dealing with Missing Data
Date: Monday, 21 September
Delivered by: Dr. Jonathan Bartlett & Dr. Ula Nur, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Learning ratio: 50% theory and 50% practical
We begin by illustrating with a simple dataset the adverse consequences missing data can have on inferences. Next we give an intuitive explanation of Rubin's classification scheme for missingness mechanisms (MCAR, MAR, MNAR), and explore how missingness mechanisms can be described and investigated using Stata. We then move on to a brief discussion of the deficiencies in several commonly used ad-hoc approaches to handling missing data before we introduce the method of multiple imputation (MI), a principled approach for handling missing data under the MAR assumption. Both joint model and chained equations imputation will be described, and we will apply these to data using Stata 12's new MI commands. We briefly introduce an alternative approach to handling missing data, that of inverse probability weighting, and illustrate how this is readily performed in Stata, and conclude by emphasising the important role of sensitivity analyses when analysing partially observed datasets.
- Session 1: Impacts of missing data, classifying missingness mechanisms and ad-hoc methods.
- Session 2: An introduction to multiple imputation (MI) (single variable).
- Session 3: Multiple imputation for multiple variables (chained equations).
- Session 4: Inverse probability weighting and sensitivity analyses after MI.
Course 2: Analysis of Survey Data
Date: Tuesday, 22 September
Delivered by: Dr. Ula Nur, LSHTM
Learning ratio: 45% theory and 55% practical
We will describe the general statistical techniques that apply to almost all forms of survey data. We will start by introducing the most common sampling designs used in collecting survey data, such as simple random, cluster and stratified sampling designs. Their main features, such as sampling weights, clustering and stratification will be reviewed. The course will cover one, two and multiple stage survey designs, and the three variance estimators implemented in Stata's survey estimation commands. We will introduce the svyset command which declares the data to be complex survey data, specifies the variables that identify the survey design characteristics, and the default method for variance estimation. The course will also cover the estimation approaches using the "svy:" prefix, which are implemented in the Stata survey family of commands. Lastly we will cover post-stratification, a method for adjusting sampling weights to account for underrepresented groups in the population, and the analysis of strata with one sampling unit and those with certainty units. Examples and exercises will use datasets from the Stata Survey Documentation.
- Session 1: Sampling design characteristics.
- Session 2: Special types of sampling units.
- Session 3: Poststratification and Regression with survey data.
- Session 4: Variance estimation.
Course 3: Survival Analysis
Date: Wednesday, 23 September
Delivered by: Dr. Ula Nur, LSHTM
Learning ratio: 45% theory and 55% practical
We will discuss various approaches to the analysis of time-to-event data. These are data that arise from following up individuals until a particular event is observed, or until their follow-up is interrupted (i.e. time is censored). Hence, in this setting, the outcome of interest consists of two pieces of information: the time which the subject spends in the study and what happens at the end of this time. We will first introduce the powerful stset command which declares the key survival variables. We will then discuss censoring mechanisms, and the estimation and comparison of survival curves using the Kaplan-Meier, the life-table (actuarial) method, and the log-rank test. The course will also cover estimation of the cumulative hazard function using the Nelson-Aalen estimator. The two most commonly used multivariable models for survival analysis - Cox and Poisson models - will be introduced and compared using real data examples taken from clinical and epidemiological studies.
- Session 1: Introduction to survival analysis.
- Session 2: Kaplan-Meier survival curves and the log-rank test.
- Session 3: The Cox proportional hazards model.
- Session 4: Checking the proportional hazards assumption.
Course 4: Analysis of Hierarchical Data
Date: Thursday, 24 September
Delivered by: Dr. Bianca De Stavola & Dr. Ula Nur, LSHTM
Learning ratio: 50% theory and 50% practical
We will introduce the course with examples of settings where the usual assumption of independent units of analysis does not hold. If this dependency is ignored, any subsequent inferences are potentially invalid. Dependency therefore must be dealt with. We will discuss alternative approaches to achieve this, with the focus on methods that explicitly specify the nature of the dependency, i.e. mixed effects models. The alternative generalised estimating equations approach will also be briefly described. The focus will be on continuous outcomes when there are only two levels of aggregation. As mixed effects models are a development of ANOVA and the linear regression model this is where we will start. We will then introduce random intercept models, with and without covariates, using the xtmixed command, and then more general random coefficient models. Throughout we will discuss assumptions and ways to assess the appropriateness of the fitted model. An example of modelling individual measurement repeated over time ("longitudinal data" in biostatistics) will conclude the day.
- Session 1: Impact of dependency, choice of strategies and revision of linear regression.
- Session 2: The random intercept model.
- Session 3: The random coefficient model.
- Session 4: Models for longitudinal data.
Course 5: Structural Equation Modelling
Date: Friday, 25 September
Delivered by: Dr. Bianca De Stavola & George Ploubidis, LSHTM
Learning ratio: 50% theory and 50% practical
In this course we will give a brief introduction to generalisations of standard regression models that deal with multivariate outcomes, i.e. structural equation models (SEM). These models include path analysis and factor analysis. We will start by introducing path analysis, i.e. the joint analysis of an outcome and any of its predictors which we also wish to model. The predictors that are also modelled are denoted "intermediate" outcomes, while the main outcome of interest is termed "distal". We will discuss and fit path analytical models using the command sem on data taken from life course epidemiology. We will also introduce the concepts of direct and indirect effects as used in the SEM literature, highlighting their limitations. Factor analysis will be introduced as an approach to deal with measurement error in a variable of interest when there are error-prone observations available. Such models can again be fitted using sem. Examples will be used, and assumptions and generalizations discussed. More general SEMs where a path model includes latent variables will conclude the day.
- Session 1: From univariate to multivariate models: notation and diagrams.
- Session 2: Path regression.
- Session 3: Confirmatory Factor Analysis.
- Session 4: Linear structural equation modelling.
Course 6: Indirect Comparisons and Network Meta-analysis with Stata
Date: Saturday, 26 September
Delivered by: Prof. Aurelio Tobías, Spanish Scientific Research Council
Learning ratio: 40% theory, 20% demonstration and 40% practical
Meta-analysis has traditionally been used to synthesize the effectiveness of an intervention from a collection of studies. However, when there are no studies directly comparing two or more interventions, traditional meta-analysis cannot estimate their comparative benefits. Although if there is information available regarding the effectiveness of two interventions, named B and C, in comparison to a common comparator A, an indirect treatment comparison may be used to estimate a comparison of the effectiveness of B compared with C. Approaches to meta-analysis have been increasingly implemented to estimate the effects of multiple interventions, taking into account the full network of available studies and simultaneously incorporating direct and indirect comparisons. This one-day course introduces the main statistical techniques to analyse a network meta-analysis in practice using the network suite of Stata commands. It is aimed at both academics and practitioners, with a basic knowledge of Stata, who are interested in applying indirect comparisons and network meta-analysis using Stata commands designed for this purpose.
- Session 1: Types of comparisons in meta-analysis.
- Session 2: Indirect comparisons with meta-regression.
- Session 3: Multivariate meta-analysis.
- Session 4:
- Full network meta-analysis.
- Practical exercises using the network suite of commands

Western Henrico Rotary Club Golf Tournament Raises $24,500
Henrico Citizen Staff Reports 11/02/10
The Western Henrico Rotary Club raised more than $24,500 for scholarships at the annual Becky Briggs Memorial Golf Tournament on Columbus Day at the Crossings Golf Course – the most it has ever raised through the event. The tournament is named after a 17-year-old senior at Mary Mount High School, who was killed in an automobile accident in 1990. Her father is a member of the Western Henrico Rotary Club.
Since it began in 1991, the tournament has provided nearly $100,000 in scholarships to approximately 60 students, according to club president Christina McClung. The remaining balance of the money raised from the tournament is held and managed by The Community Foundation.
Proceeds are used to provide scholarships for graduating seniors from Hermitage, Tucker and Freeman high schools who plan to attend a four-year college or community college. Recipients are selected from those schools because the Western Henrico Rotary Club sponsors Interact Clubs at those locations. In addition, two scholarships are awarded to students attending J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College who have completed at least one year of study.
Event chairman Steve Esbach said scholarship recipients will each receive $2,000 this year.
The Western Henrico Rotary Club also gives $500 each year to the libraries at Crestview and Johnson elementary schools in Henrico County, where a number of Western Henrico Rotary Club members serve as volunteers in the reading programs.
The deadline to apply for scholarships is March 1. For details, visit westernhenricorotary.org.

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

This company can't grow organically, so they bought ORSYP. The technology, while reliable and solid, is moldy technology. It's old school on-premise software.
Lot's of management and executive turnover. This should be a red flag to anyone. The company seems to go through one CMO per year.
The internal politics at this company is ridiculous.

Imagining a More Just World: The Place of Moral and Political Commitment in the Work of Judges and Lawyers "Justice, Drucilla Cornell argues, is always present to law, but never completely realized by law. It is, in her view, precisely what eludes our full knowledge. Understood this way, law in the liberal state requires both an acknowledgement of its inadequacy in the face of the demands of justice and other moral virtues and a commitment to their future realization.

Future fuel cycle characteristics, feasibility and acceptability will be crucial for the continued development of nuclear energy, especially in the post-Fukushima context. Fuel cycle choices have both long- and short-term impacts, and a holistic assessment of their characteristics, cost and associated safety issues is of paramount importance. This report associates quantified impacts with foreseeable nuclear energy development in
This book discusses scientific and technological tools at the centre of a renewed interest in marine biotechnology that is contributing to a new bioeconomy sector in many countries and offering potential new solutions to global challenges.
Water shortages and floods illustrate the risks posed by too little, or too much, water. By 2050 more than 40% of the world's population will live under severe water stress and nearly 20% could be exposed to floods.
The OECD participated in this annual event held in Stockholm (1-5 September 2013) where two major reports "Water Security for Better Lives" and "Water and Climate Change Adaptation: Policies to Navigate Uncharted Waters" were launched by the OECD's Secretary-General, Angel Gurría.
Climate change and rising demand are making it harder to meet the world's water needs. At World Water Week 2013, the OECD will explore how to better manage this vital resource.
Key questions for development planning today in countries include: Can developing countries strike a balance between economic growth, societal well-being and environmental protection? Can inclusive, green growth be a way forward? This report presents a case study on Cambodia designed to answer these questions.

Governments around the world are encouraging people to factor the environment into their everyday lives and purchases. Is it leading to more sustainable consumption? Are households 'going green'?

Night Train to Lisbon
A huge international best seller, this ambitious novel plumbs the depths of our shared humanity to offer up a breathtaking insight into life, love, and literature itself. A major hit in Germany that went on to become one of Europe's biggest literary blockbusters in the last five years, Night Train to Lisbon is an astonishing novel, a compelling exploration of consciousness, the possibility of truly understanding another person, and the ability of language to define our very selves. Raimund Gregorius is a Latin teacher at a Swiss college who one day-after a chance encounter with a mysterious Portuguese woman-abandons his old life to start a new one. He takes the night train to Lisbon and carries with him a book by Amadeu de Prado, a (fictional) Portuguese doctor and essayist whose writings explore the ideas of loneliness, mortality, death, friendship, love, and loyalty. Gregorius becomes obsessed by what he reads and restlessly struggles to comprehend the life of the author. His investigations lead him all over the city of Lisbon, as he speaks to those who were entangled in Prado's life. Gradually, the picture of an extraordinary man emerges-a doctor and poet who rebelled against Salazar's dictatorship.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs OF Cody Ross may start season on disabled list
The Arizona Diamondbacks regular season is just days away and it doesn't look good for new outfielder Cody Ross.
Manager Kirk Gibson told Burns and Gambo on Tuesday he would prefer Ross start the season on the disabled list and that feeling was confirmed Tuesday night at the ballpark before the D-backs game against the Angels.
"Think at some point in the near future, rather than him push it and injure himself for six to eight weeks, let's make sure we get it right. If we have to DL him to do that than certainly that's an option," Gibson said.
Ross left the D-backs game against the Giants on March 3rd and hasn't seen any game action since. He's been dealing with a calf injury.
"If we have to DL [Ross], then somewhere after the 6th (of April) when we get back from Milwaukee, I hope that he'd be really ready to go," Gibson stated.
Gibson also elaborated on the plan to get Ross (and Didi Gregorius) back from the DL if that's where they start the regular season.
"If we do that, he [Ross] would go to Visalia and Gregorius would go to Reno right out of the gate and those guys would get at-bats. [Ross]'s ready to run and Gregorius is ready to throw. They can play those games there," Gibson said.
The 32-year-old Ross has played in just four games this spring, recording only seven at-bats.
Gibson has said throughout spring that the plan is constantly changing due to the health of his players. Nothing is set in stone until the Opening Day roster has to be determined.
"There's a lot of 'ifs' when you have injuries, then it adds that element. It's just something you try and think it all out and you react as time lets you do."
Gibson may have even more to react to after Tuesday night's game against the Angels. Second baseman Aaron Hill left after the bottom of the first after getting hit by a pitch and shortstop Willie Bloomquist left in the third inning in the middle of an at-bat after fouling off a pitch.
And lastly, left-fielder Jason Kubel's night was done after four innings, but no word yet on why.
Their injury status is yet to be determined.

The Amec Foster Wheeler chief was inviting trouble
Alistair Osborne: Business commentary
The Co-operative Bank has shrunk its losses and built its financial strength, showing a glimmer of hope for the bank which almost collapsed in 2013. However, the Manchester lender, which was the only bank to fail the Bank of England's stress tests in December, still showed signs of stress, with current accounts falling 4 per cent last year amid a flow of bad news about the bank. There will be more branch closures and redundancies as the Co-op bank tries to get its controls under control. Statutory losses narrowed to £264.2 million in 2014, compared to a £1.3 billion loss last year. The figure for 2013 was reduced to £632.8 million once its debt was restructured. The improvement in 2014 was driven by a stronger picture on bad debts and lower charges for mis-selling and other conduct breaches. Niall Booker, the bank's chief executive, said that the bank was "stabilising but not yet fully docked in a new harbour". Losses will continue for two more years, eating into the bank's capital, he added. Measures being taken to strengthen the business further include slashing costs and shrinking assets. That will include selling its £7 billion Optimum book of poor quality residential and buy to let mortgages, acquired through the merger with Britannia building society in 2009. The first slice may be sold via a securitisation to investors. Mr Booker, a former senior HSBC banker who was parachuted in to run the Co-op in 2
House price growth in the UK has cooled for the seventh consecutive month, dropping to its slowest rate for a year and a half. The cooling housing market that began to come off the boil last summer has seen the value of the nation's homes increase at a much slower pace, with annual house price growth dropping to 5.1 per cent in March to an average £189,454, according to figures from Nationwide. This is down from a high of 11.8 per cent in June. Robert Gardner, chief economist of Nationwide, said the pace of housing market activity has remained subdued, with the number of mortgages approved for house purchase in January about 20 per cent below the level prevailing one year ago. However, UK house prices are now about 2 per cent higher than they were before the financial crisis and the underlying economic conditions remain "supportive", with labour mar
A former manager at Logica has been jailed after pleading guilty to insider trading after making thousands of pounds buying the shares of the IT consultancy ahead of its takeover by Canada's CGI group in 2012. Ryan Willmott, group reporting and financial planning manager at Logica, was sentenced to 10 months in prison after he admitted using his inside knowledge of the CGI deal to trade in Logica shares, earning more than £30,000 in the process. Willmott had set up a trading account in the name of a former girlfriend without her knowledge to buy Logica shares and he admitted also passing on inside information to a family friend who subsequently went on to make trades on his and Willmott's behalf. The conviction and sentencing marks the latest success for the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which has successfully prosecuted 27 insider trading case

Milwaukee /mɪlˈwɔːkiː/ is the largest city in the U.S. state of Wisconsin, the 28th most populous city in the United States, and 39th most populous region in the United States. It is the county seat of Milwaukee County and is located on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan. According to 2010 census data, the City of Milwaukee has a population of 594,833. Milwaukee is the main cultural and economic center of the Milwaukee–Racine–Waukesha Metropolitan Area with a population of 1,751,316 as of 2010. Milwaukee is also the regional center of the seven county Greater Milwaukee Area, with an estimated population of 2,014,032 as of 2008.
The first Europeans to pass through the area were French missionaries and fur traders. In 1818, the French-Canadian explorer Solomon Juneau settled in the area, and in 1846 Juneau's town combined with two neighboring towns to incorporate as the City of Milwaukee. Large numbers of German and other immigrants helped increase the city's population during the 1840s and the following decades.

It's revolutionizing how people think about housing and community in the Salt Lake County and the valley as a whole. The massive housing development that has been in the works for more than a decade is showing no signs of slowing down now. When completed, Daybreak real estate will span 8 interconnected villages containing an impressive 20,000 homes with an additional 9 million square feet of mixed office/retail/industrial space.
