New Changes to Your Prescription Pain Medications
Early 2011, the FDA determined that specific mix pain drugs like Vicodin (hydrocodone/acetaminophen), and Percocet (oxycodone/acetaminophen) shouldn't include more than 325mg of acetaminophen per capsule or tablet. That is in an attempt to minimize the danger of liver damage. "Overdose from prescription mix products containing acetaminophen bill for almost half of cases of acetaminophen-related liver failure within the United States; a lot of which lead to liver transplant or death," mentioned Sandra Kweder, doctor, deputy manager of Work of New Drugs in Food and Drug Administration's Center for Drug Analysis and Study (CDER).
By January 14, 2014, all prescription pain combination products that include greater than 325mg of acetaminophen must be discontinued by manufacturing companies. What this means is that your current prescription of pain medicine that comprises greater than 325mg of acetaminophen might not be filled next date. There might be delays in getting your prescription. You will have to call your physician for a new prescription using the modifications. Permit time for the drugstore to get the new formulations and to fill your prescription. Reformulated Vicodin ES, Vicodin and Vicodin HP have 300mg of tylenol per pill. Norco (hydrocodone/acetaminophen) may still include 325mg of acetaminophen.
Special labeling is also required by the FDA. A black box warning saying risk and the risks of liver injury will be put into all prescription medication labels that include acetaminophen.
Confusion may be caused by the changes to your pain medications but is essential to reduce the cases of liver damage because of acetaminophen poisoning.

How to remove tonsil stones without gagging
Tonsil stone can be a huge pest and some people suffer with them for months and months at a time. Luckily, there is away to get rid of them at home but what people really want to know is how to remove those stones without gagging. Since stones sit right on your tonsils in the back of your throat they can be very tricky to treat and rid yourself, especially if you have a sensitive gag reflex.
Tonsil stone was pretty easy to identify so if you start to see white bumps or pockets of puss appear in the back of your throat you may have them. They often carry the same symptoms of a sore or strep throat but there will definitely be a distinct visual difference in the two. A sore or strep throat will cause the tonsils to simply swell and make it hard to swallow but tonsilloliths can cause all around throat pain and cause debris and food to get caught in them as well.
If you want to get rid of the stones without gagging you have a few different options, depending on if you want to remove them yourself or see a doctor. If you do decide to go with the medical treatment option there are two ways they can be removed which pretty much guarantee you won't end up throwing up all over yourself. One way a doctor can remove your tonsil stones is, by sedating you and go in with a tool to literally scrap them off or drain them (also called flushing).
However, if your tonsilloliths are more severe and causing you problems then you may get schedule for a complete tonsillectomy. This is also known as getting your tonsils taken out and even though it is a common procedure for children it does happen on many adults as well. The cost for a tonsillectomy can be pretty pricey depending on where you go though so make sure that your medical insurance will cover the surgery.
Homeopathic ways to eliminate your stones are also very popular, which are simply ways to do it yourself at home. Depending how large and loose your stones are you may be able to actually stick your own tongue back there and scrape them off. Some people have even said tilting their heads back and swallowing really hard has worked to remove some stones.
The next way is a hard answer because they involve tools. Using cotton swabs or tweezers to virtually squeeze the stone off of your tonsils but this does carry a high risk of setting off the gag reflex. If you want to remove them from you try it with a water pik and flush them out. This tools allows you to have a steady stream flush the stones away which is much less painful and easier to control than a cotton swab.
Home Remedies For Ear Congestion
Ear congestion can prove to be a very annoying problem for many people, and can cause them a lot of difficulty; however, there are home remedies for ear congestion that you can use. This causes them to get muffled hearing, hear popping sounds or sounds which resemble 'cracking' noises, making it very difficult for them to hear properly. It also prevents them from hearing the full sensation of a sound. The reasons for ear congestion are quite common, and most people often get their ear clogged on planes, just because of the high altitude. Excessive pressure can also cause the ear to become clogged, and can often result in pain too. Even though ear congestion is regarded as being excessively uncomfortable, the good thing is that with a help of a few home remedies for ear congestion, you can easily get it fixed.
There are several home remedies for ear congestion that people can try, all of which are equally effective in making sure that your ear canal becomes open as quickly as possible. One of the simplest home remedies for ear congestion that you can try is to chew gum, or swallow it after a significant period of time. This works greatly for those people who are traveling or planes or hiking up mountains, etc. Where the air pressure falls, try chewing a gum constantly and not think much about ear congestion. If that does not work properly, there are several other home remedies for ear congestion that you can try too. For instance, try pinching your nose or drinking lots of water. The reason why water is regarded as a helpful source is because it helps the Eustachian tube in opening up quickly. Another one of the home remedies of ear congestion that can easily open your Eustachian tubes is yawning, though it is a natural process and cannot be enforced.
Nasal Spray
Did you know that making use of nasal spray is being regarded as one of the best home remedies for ear congestion? A simple nasal spray, such as Afrin can easily relieve various different symptoms of ear congestion. If you are making use of such home remedies for ear congestion, just make sure that you follow the instructions listed upon the decongestant bottle carefully, because excessive usage of such nasal sprays and decongestants can result in rebound congestion as well as swelling.
Home remedies for ear congestion also include the use of antihistamines. If your ear has become infected with an allergy, taking a simple antihistamine can also greatly help. However, making the use of antihistamine as primary home remedies for ear congestion is not such a good idea, because when you take it for the first time, it can cause severe drowsiness. Making use of steam is also regarded as a popular form of treatment. It can be greatly helpful in clearing up sinus congestions, and can easily open up clogged ears. Just run a hot shower and stay in the steam for twenty or so minutes, and you will be able to see the differences much quicker than before.

What is Work Conditioning?
Work Conditioning is a "work related, intensive, goal-oriented treatment program specifically designed to restore an individual's systemic, neuro-musculo-skeltal (strength, endurance, movement, flexibility and motor control) and cardiopulmonary functions. The objective of the Work Conditioning program is to restore the client's physical capacity and function so the client can return to work." (APTA Guidelines for Programs in Industrial Rehabilitation, APTA BoD 11/92) Work Conditioning is most appropriate for individuals who are beyond the initial healing time following an injury, unless necessity is justified, and continue with physical impairment and functional difficulties. Client's typically do not demonstrate abnormal illness behavior and have a specific job which he/she can return. Education, exercise and job simulation are primary components of a Work Conditioning program.
What is a Functional Capacity Evaluation
A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is an objective test designed to measure the client's current functional abilities. The FCE requires 4-8 hours of client testing over one or more days and should take place within the context of the demands of competitive employment. The FCE incorporates a comprehensive neuromuscular examination with measurement of physical impairment, symptom magnification and worker behaviors, and function, and culminates with the measurements of physical impairment, symptom magnification and worker behaviors, and function, and culminates with the measurement of the current functional abilities of the client. The measurements of function from the FCE should be compared to the physical demands of the job to which the client is expected to return to ensure proper return to work decision making or rehabilitation plan generation. Since the work capacity implies potential, which by definition can not be measured, the ability of the individual to perform functional or work related tasks is measured, and the potential to sustain these work related tasks are inferred. To quantify the ability of the individual to sustain the work tasks, a work conditioning or work hardening program can be performed (Task force of VA 1990)

Committee recommends UNCW eliminate 5 sports
Published: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 3:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 3:53 p.m.
The UNCW athletic department will be leaner next year if Chancellor Gary Miller and the Board of Trustees opt to follow recommendations made Wednesday by the Intercollegiate Athletics Review Committee.
In an 18-page report, the 19-person committee recommended that UNCW no longer sponsor teams in men's and women's swimming and diving, men's indoor track, men's cross country and softball beginning in the 2013-14 academic year.
The final decision on the recommendations will be reached in the "coming weeks," according to a UNCW spokesperson and requires approval of the chancellor and the Board of Trustees.
What had to be done
Miller appointed the committee in February, asking it to identify the optimal sports portfolio at UNCW, "one that would ensure all programs have opportunities to achieve national prominence."
Instability in leadership, a struggling flagship men's basketball program, insufficient fundraising, northern expansion of the Colonial Athletic Association and aging facilities put the 19-team department in a financial predicament and in dire need of upheaval. The committee's report states that these issues are the result of years of "temporary solutions" and the UNCW athletic department "is facing a fiscal crisis."
The only suitable choice was to eliminate five programs, affecting as many as 117 athletes.
"As heavy as our hearts have been as we finalized these recommendations, we realize nothing compares to how our student-athletes and coaches will feel at the possibility of their programs being eliminated," committee chair Terry Curran, head of academic affairs, said in a statement. "While these recommendations will surely invite disappointment and debate, inaction was not an option. The committee did its best to meet the chancellor's charge, and we submit this report with the greatest of hopes that by facing tough decisions now, UNCW Athletics will be able to strengthen its remaining programs and be even more competitive in all sports for years to come."
Where the money is
Based on numbers reported by the university for the 2011-12 school year, the cuts would eventually release 15.36 athletic scholarships and, over time, enable the department to reinvest nearly $900,000 in the remaining 14 programs, imperative considering expenses have exceeded revenues by more than $1.4 million the last three years. That gap was described by the committee as an "epic level of concern."
The athletic department's reserve fund has decreased by 82 percent since 2009 and is approximately $2 million short of the minimum six-month operating balance for programs sponsored by student fees.
Donations to the Seahawk Club, the university's athletics fundraising arm, are anticipated to be $400,000 to $500,000 shy of the budgeted $1.047 million in 2012-13, meaning the department is expected to lose another $600,000.
The committee met with coaches and athletes from 17 of the school's current 19 sports and listened to their concerns. Ultimately, they identified two significant vulnerabilities in the department's organizational model: lack of expertise in budget and fiscal management and facility development, planning and operations.
It also recommended revisiting an ambitious strategic plan that was released in May 2011.
"If UNCW is determined to meet Chancellor Miller's goal of competing with national prominence while at the same time restoring fiscal responsibility, UNCW must act now," the report states.
Operating expenses for softball and the two swimming and diving programs exceeded $900,000 according to UNCW's 2011-12 financial report to the NCAA.
The committee recommends using the savings to upgrade facilities to create a more "fan-friendly environment. In addition, expand the strength and conditioning, academic support and sports medicine staff for the remaining sports."
It also feels the university should continue to evaluate conference affiliation opportunities. Both Chancellor Miller and athletic director Jimmy Bass have repeatedly affirmed their commitment to the CAA, although it demands several lengthy, costly trips each season, which force missed class time.
UNCW will honor scholarship commitments for any athletes in any dropped sport, as long as they remain on track toward graduation, including those in the freshman class of 2013-14, should they wish to stay.
If the proposals are adopted, UNCW will have 14 athletic teams, the minimum required by the NCAA to maintain Division I status.
Brian Mull: 343-2034

UNCW proposed cuts
The UNCW Intercollegiate Athletic Review Committee recommended Wednesday that the university no longer sponsor five sports, dropping its total to a Division I-minimum 14 for the 2013-14 school year.
Softball, men's indoor track, men's cross country and both swimming & diving programs would be eliminated if the university follows all of the recommendations, and the committee projects the university will be able to eventually reinvest $800,000 annually.
A look at the programs affected, using numbers from the 2011-12 school year provided by UNCW:
Sport | # of | # of | Athletes | Total $ | Total $ |
Athletes | Scholar. | on Scholar. | Expenses | Revenue | |
Softball | 20 | 6.39 | 15 | 365,542 | 12,621 |
Men's Swimming | 30 | 3.84 | 17 | 281,162 | 68,375 |
Women's Swimming | 41 | 5.13 | 24 | 314,178 | 67,547 |
Totals | 91 | 15.36 | 56 | 960,882 | 148,543 |
Men's Track/XC* | 47 | 4.79 | 27 | 271,061 | 19,528 |
* – For NCAA reporting purposes, cross country, indoor track and outdoor track are combined. These numbers for UNCW would decrease proportionally; however, the university reported 21 men on the cross country team in fall 2011.

Digital Domain Park, spring home of the New York Mets.
The Nationals are only eight games into their Grapefruit League schedule, so it's too soon to pay a whole lot of attention to stats. Really, you always have to look at spring training stats with some level of skepticism, because different players are working on different things this time of the year. Sometimes, pitchers are instructed to work on one specific pitch. Sometimes, batters are intentionally trying to take a bunch of pitches just so they can see more and start to get more comfortable at the plate.
Having said all that, I decided to throw in some stats alongside today's lineup against the Mets. Not because they tell the whole story of a player's spring, but because they do give you a little sense of how guys have performed to date.
Jordan Zimmermann gets the ball today in Port St. Lucie, looking to duplicate his strong first spring outing (three scoreless innings against the Cardinals). Among those also scheduled to pitch are Rule 5 draftee Brian Broderick, Sean Burnett and Atahualpa Severino.
If you subscribe to the MLB.tv package, you can watch today's game online. The Mets radio feed is also available to subscribers of XM and MLB Gameday Audio…

Yeah, because when I look at Nyjer Morgan's line (either his current one or the career line so beloved by Riggleman) the first thing that pops into my head is "DH".
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Mar 8, 2011 at 3:27 PM
So if Drew Storen, say, were told to throw 95% fastballs, how long does it take for even would-be Major League hitters to figure that out? Figuring that the first one to do so tells his team?

Hmm, not sure why these problems are occurring. I haven't experienced any (I use Firefox, by the way). If you can avoid using Internet Explorer, that would be my first recommendation.I'll pass along all the complaints to Greg and see if he can figure out why these things might be happening.

If the Nats could get rid of both Morgan and Riggleman, the outlook for the team would improve dramatically. The Nats have had a mess in CF since they moved to DC from Montreal in 2005 and they seem totally unable to fix it. This is shameful.

Sec 3, My Sofa said… So if Drew Storen, say, were told to throw 95% fastballs, how long does it take for even would-be Major League hitters to figure that out? Figuring that the first one to do so tells his team? March 8, 2011 10:27 AM I hear what Mark is saying and trying to take it in context, but I don't buy it on Drew Storen that he is working on certain pitches that aren't working out for him which is why his stat line looks so bad.Look at his 3 appearances in Spring Training and look at who he has faced. A bunch of AA and AAA guys mixed in with a few MLB guys who will compete for bench roles. He is missing badly and getting rocked. How long before he starts losing confidence?I believe more of what Mark was saying to be about Nyjer Morgan where he is working on bunting but even for him when he swings away his contact has been real weak.Bernadina is working on bunting and has 2 base hits. I don't buy off that Nyjer is bunting to make outs when nobody is on base. He just is not executing well on anything offensively and not doing so well defensively too.

That was very nice to be able to get back to the front page after reading a post. By the way great information, keep up the good work… cant wait for opening day!
- Feel Wood - Mar 8, 2011 at 4:11 PM
"If you can avoid using Internet Explorer, that would be my first recommendation."Easy for you to say, Mark, because you work at home, as it were. But keep in mind that virtually all large-scale employers are in bed with Microsoft and its products. Most of those employers also frown on their employees installing rogue products such as non-IE browsers on the company's network. And from Monday through Friday, I bet the large majority of your readers are checking your site from their office. (Again, a practice frowned upon by employers – but that doesn't stop most of us from doing it anyway.) What that means is that whether you like it or not you should be optimizing your site to work with IE, not telling people to avoid using it. (And by saying that, it doesn't free you from the obligation to also support other popular browsers such as Firefox, Safari, etc.)
- Todd Boss - Mar 8, 2011 at 4:13 PM
Certain spring training results absolutely have to be taken with a grain of salt. I recall reading a story about Glavine getting hammered in his last ST outing and getting asked about it by a reporter. He was using the last start to try to spot one particular pitch on one particular part of the plate. Well, the 3rd pitch into an at bat hitters can figure out what's going on, and then can sit on that pitch. The second I heard that the coaches told Storen to throw fastballs, you could predict what his line would look like. I'm not saying his first two outings were similarly bad, but we don't know what is said between pitching coach and pitcher all the time; its entirely possible Storen has been working on specific pitches all spring and the coaches couldn't care less what his stat line looks like…
- Mark'd - Mar 8, 2011 at 4:22 PM
Mark Z. – can you confirm that Storen is only throwing fastballs all 3 appearances?
- DFL - Mar 8, 2011 at 4:23 PM
Bixler has failed to hit the two or three times he was brought up by the Pirates. Is he just briefly hot or is he a late bloomer? Do Bernadina and Ankiel send Morgan to the bench or the waiver list?
- fpcsteve - Mar 8, 2011 at 4:24 PM
I can't avoid using Internet Explorer. I do most of my checking from work, too. I'm getting lots of malware stuff, too. The other complaints about the website don't worry me so much, but the malware and possibility of wrecking my computer is scary. My computer is essential to my work. I hope that part of the new site can be fixed.

fwiw, I am not a fan of IE and prefer Firefox. However, the problems tpok place when I was using Firefox. The latest manifestation is that it would not let my posts go through at all. Am trying with IE just to see what happens. Off to lunch now and then back to work (zzzzz).
- natsfan1a - Mar 8, 2011 at 4:28 PM
Well, at least I got through that time (and "took" place, btw). The display is still jumping all over the place in IE, but I did get a Captcha and was able to post. However, I don't wish to continue using IE (see above).

Site Feedback:Works perfectly fine for me on my 6 year old laptop, while using firefox. My computer has many issues but this site is not one of them. I have not tried using the site on IE since I don't use IE anymore.I am also worried a little bit about Storen but for once we have options in case Drew continues to struggle.

To change the subject: I find it very intriguing that Houston is interested in Flores. I think that we must parlay our riches in the catcher position into some much needed pieces although you have to figure that Flores and Pudge won't get you much in return at this time. From what I have learned from the various scouting services Norris is our catcher of the future so Rizzo must navigate this situation to our advantage; if Flores comes back strong it really puts us in a good spot.

One question, is there a reason Nationals have only one 'two game' day? Marlins have 2, Braves and Mets have 3, and Phillies have 4 such days. Scheduling, etc could be the issue but I wonder why we not play more SS games than others.
- Mark Zuckerman - Mar 8, 2011 at 5:01 PM
Appreciate all the feedback. Believe me, the last thing I want is for this site to have any technological glitches and certainly anything that would give readers reason to worry about the security of their computers. Greg is looking into all this to see if he can figure out why this is all of a sudden an issue. For those of you using Internet Explorer (and I understand why you have no choice but to use it) make sure you clear your cache and cookies. That will clear out any old settings that may be affecting your use. Can't promise that's going to take care of all the problems, but hopefully that will help some.If I hear anything more from Greg, I'll be sure to pass it along.

if storen ( or anyone ) is told to use a certain pitch in a certain place, and he delivers it and gets rocked, he's still successful. he's accomplished his objective. if he misses his place and strikes someone out, he fails. it's about learning until 3-31. and everyone – we need to make our bosses buy macs!go nats

- Feel Wood - Mar 8, 2011 at 7:07 PM
I believe if you look on the Nats STH web site you'll find quite specific details on the RCR program for 2011. At my cursory glance a week or so ago, it looks like we'll be able to buy more with our rewards points than we could last year. Plus they have added separate parking rewards. Looks like I'll be able to get free parking in the $5 lot for every game in my plan, and still have some parking rewards left over. Pretty good deal, I'd say.
- Feel Wood - Mar 8, 2011 at 7:10 PM
Now what I CAN'T remember is if they were offering the NatsBucks promotion for early renewal like they did in 2010. Does anyone know about that? Because if they did offer it, I qualified for it and want to be sure I collect.
- Anonymous - Mar 8, 2011 at 7:16 PM
Still believe Storen should start and some of these "exercises" to help him keep his fastball viable (50+ pitches?) sound to me like they just might want him to start eventually. With at least 5 guys in camp, (Balester, Kimball, Carr, Ramirez, and Henry Rodiguez) who can throw upper nineties to 100+ Storen looks to be the odd man out. All of these guys have been tried and failed at starter … but Drew Storen with command of five major league pitches and his can-do attitude? STARTER/STOPPER in training.
- Anonymous - Mar 8, 2011 at 7:29 PM
Where is it written that Drew Storen has been instructed to only throw fastballs? I have read that on here a few times and would like to know where I can find that information as others have asked the same.
- Anonymous - Mar 8, 2011 at 7:34 PM
Washington Post's Nationals Journal I think is the source about Storen.How come no one is talking about the game? How did Zimmermann do? Morgan? etc, etc?
- N. Cognito - Mar 8, 2011 at 7:34 PM
No, no specific instructions for RCR.Values are the SAME as last year, just more options, some with lower redemption amounts. For example: last year Gold got 41 points per ticket and Lexus seats redemption cost 8 points. This year, 4100 points and 800 points. Field seats 1 point last year, 100 points this year.Parking is a crappy return on the points, on an already overpriced product, but there is an intrinsic value to each customer.
- PAY TO PLAY - Mar 8, 2011 at 7:40 PM
"We're asking him to throw more fastballs, which is going to get him hit a little bit," Riggleman said. "He's not on top of his game by any means, but it was maybe not as bad as the linescore would say."That was the quote by Riggleman that people are re-interpreting. They asked him to throw MORE fastballs, not ALL fastballs. The stuff people write on here sometimes turns my stomach as it gets regurgitated as facts that Riggleman and Storen never said.Then Storen followed up with this "I didn't like the results, but the way I pitched was a lot better and a big step ahead from my last time out. I used my fastball more, and showed I can do that."

I invite everyone to read this article by Tom Verducci at si.com; he is one of the best national baseball writters out there.I don't like what I hearing, I grew up a Mets fan and spent plenty of days at Shea watching Doc Gooden and he was electric those first two years in the bigs. I said to many, that when I went to Strasburgs first ML start that it reminded me of those early days at Shea watching Gooden. You know what happen next, the Mets wanted Gooden to strike out less guys, they said "a ground ball is the same as a strike out" and he changed the way he pitched. He was still pretty good, but never the same feared pitcher. I hate that they are trying to do this to Strasburg – just stupid. Just like a girl who gets marry to a man nad then tries to change him. Embrace what he is, don't try to change him! End of Rant.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/tom_verducci/03/08/stephen.strasburg.mechanics/index.html?eref=sihp

- Anonymous - Mar 8, 2011 at 8:57 PM
or maybe Nyjer wanted to save AG the embarrassment of not driving in the runner from 3rd with one out?
- Matt - Mar 8, 2011 at 9:01 PM
I'm watching, and it was a failed squeeze. Riggleman ordered a sac bunt to get him to 3rd, then put on the squeeze. The pitch was low and outside and virtually un-buntable; unsurprisingly, AG missed it.
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 8, 2011 at 9:02 PM

So Nyjer has a OBP now of .238 for anyone keeping stats. The caught stealing doesn't help. Nyjer's pre-game talk with Willie Harris must have helped.Then Eury Perez gets his first swing on of the year and singles and quickly steals 2nd. NICE

The suicide squeeze is a nice play when it works. Gotta practice it to make it work. Would like to see Zimmerman practice the ss with Morgan at 3b. Think he can lay down a bunt? Morgan is the guy you want charging in from 3b. This is good ST work. Didn't work this time. So what?
- Mark'd - Mar 8, 2011 at 9:43 PM
Morgan on 3rd with less than 2 outs spells SUICIDE SQUEEZE . No element of surprise
- sjm 308 - Mar 8, 2011 at 9:46 PM
I am an old retired guy who can barely turn on my computer and am not sure what all those names and initials mean. I have a macbook and it starts up each day and lets me read all this great stuff and respond each day. I understand most of you are at work but I just wanted to let Mark know his stuff is coming in nice and clear in "retirement land"As for baseball, I would not be surprised to see Storen sent down (he has options) if he continues his problems (we do have a bunch of bullpen arms) and I would love to see them do the same thing with Nyjer just to see if that might shake him up. I realize most here want him dfa's but the reality is, he is still cheap (around $500,000) and he has an option remaining. Go Nats!!

- Mark'd - Mar 8, 2011 at 11:02 PM
Storen was honest with his own assessment so let's see how he does in his next appearance. At this point in ST the batters in the 7th inning on are not starters so the upper hand should go to Storen and when it doesn't you can't help but be frustrated.

I would trade him today if by chance there is still a team as blind as Riggs and Rizzo to this fatal flaw.

- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 9, 2011 at 12:26 PM
JayB… while I appreciate your frustration, I can tell you that one of Desmonds biggest supporters is Davey Johnson. And even he shares your frustration with Desy's inability to charge ground balls. It is something they work on every day. This will be the last year you will have to suffer with this problem. He will either improve dramatically or Espinosa will move to short. Where Desmond ends up if he doesn't improve is another question and I'll leave that up to the brain trust, Rizzo, Johnson, and Boone.
- Mark'd - Mar 9, 2011 at 1:11 PM
So how long will Zim be out with this abdominal strain?
- Anonymous8 - Mar 9, 2011 at 1:51 PM
Mark – Is Zim's injury the same one he had at the end of last season?Seems almost every year he is having something going on. Any updates on Corey Brown's ankle. I heard he is taking BP again. So much for his injury keeping him out 3 games. I think it is now 8 games and counting.
- JD - Mar 9, 2011 at 2:16 PM
JayB, I don't think moving Desmond to the outfield is a practical solution; he has after all been an infielder his entire career. There are a couple of things to consider: 1) Desmond's range at short is off the charts which mitigates his tendency to boot simple ground balls somewhat. 2) The team really likes his offense/offensive potential; I am less of a fan of his offense because I don't like the fact that he 1st ball hits so often and that he almost never works the count. His OBP is below average. 3) I don't think that the team is completely convinced that Espinosa will hit; if he establishes himself as a bonafide everyday player I feel that he is the better solution at short. 4) If Espinosa is moved to short I am not sure we have a solution for 2nd base; the jury is still out on Lombardozi and he is certainly not the answer for this year. Having said all of that I agree that Desmond would be on my list of people to trade in a search for front line pitching along with one of the young catchers (Ramos).

The card may be scratched to reveal a code allowing access to this pet. The code may be redeemed at Blizzard's promotion retrieval page. The pet may be obtained in-game from Landro Longshot in Booty Bay.
I love this battle-pet. It is my first got-to when I am against a beast that will burrow. It is Ninja Fast, so wait for them to burrow, then BAM fly into the air and swoop down on them.
But, it is a good battle pet?
I just bought this baby for 30k from a very kind guy. He told me he couldn't be arsed to trying to sell it in AH anymore, so he took my offer and traded me the chicken. I'm so happy, spent all my money but for sure I'm a happy gal now :D
Also known as 'Robotic Homing Chicken'. I've seen it on eBay under both names.
Just bought it out of AH for 20k. :) very happy.
Love him. He's part of my favorite battle pet team. Named him "BadabingbadaBOOM". =)
I named mine "Rooster Cogburn".
got mine off of the BMAH the other day for just the mere pocket change of 71k
Got mine after a heavy bidding war of the bmAH today, worth every penny! Quite looking forward to seeing the little guy in battle! Also big thanks to warcraftpets.com for their amazing site that helps me keep track of all the little ones <3
Just picked up a caged one for 10k on my server from a random seller in trade. Bargain if you ask me.
I've sold dozens of far more common pets for about 5k each, and a couple for MORE than 10k. So all and all I think it was a worthwhile buy. (Not that I plan on selling the little guy, he's MINE now, lol)...
I <3 Pet Caging. Giving me way more opportunities at little gems like this.
this pet can show up on the black market auction house

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - For the first time in history retail sales on Black Friday topped $1 billion as millions of Americans began their holiday gift shopping early - and in earnest. But the momentum didn't stop there as Cyber Monday saw a 30 percent increase in sales over last year.
At first blush this looks like pretty good news. If nothing else it would seem to indicate that consumer confidence is growing, even though by most accounts a broader economic turnaround is still a distant dream. On the other hand, such increased spending - as well-intentioned as it may be - could simply be an indication of an on-going and potentially unhealthy consumerism that is forever seeking solace in the latest, greatest gadget.
I say "unhealthy" not because gift-giving itself is bad but because the media-driven desire to buy this or that can cause considerable stress, particularly if the cost is beyond our present means or the desire is left unsatisfied.
While most of us consider stress no less a part of the holidays than Santa Claus and mistletoe - unavoidable but essentially harmless - medical research paints quite a different picture. In fact, some studies indicate that stress accounts for between 60 and 90 percent of all visits to the doctor and acts as the precursor to a variety of more serious health issues.
The underlying problem, of course, is not one of material lack. If it were, we'd see doctors prescribing less drugs and more widescreen TVs. It is, instead, a kind of spiritual void that would have us believe that happiness is to be found in things, that our worth is measured in terms of material possessions, and that this void can only be filled with more spending.
This is not to say that buying fewer Gameboys and Furbys will make us happier and healthier. (I mention this in case anyone reading this column has already bought me a Furby for Christmas). Over the years, however, I've found that it's the simpler gifts that are the most meaningful.
I remember a time during my first trip to Nepal more than a decade ago when my hosts greeted me with a garland of marigold flowers. To this day I keep it inside a small earthenware pot as a reminder of what it means to give what you have to another, no matter how simple or insignificant it may seem.
This offering was accompanied by my host saying, "Namaste," along with a slight bow of the head and hands pressed together in front of the heart - an outward expression of the belief that there is a divine spark residing in each one of us. Although I'm not accustomed to greeting people this way, I do make it a habit of seeing the God-given good in others, even if I don't share this sentiment as often or as visibly as I might like.
As it turns out, even the simplest expression of gratitude - even the slightest acknowledgment that we are loved - has been proven to have a significant impact on our health.
Whether or not this sort of thing will have any impact on the national economy remains to be seen. What is certain, however, is that these gifts from the heart are by far the most readily available, the most lasting, the least expensive, and the most enriching.

SKLZ Speed Chute
Well worth the price!
My son's speed has increased dramatically after only a few days of working with this equipment. He said it feels like somebody hanging on his jersey while he is trying to run for a touchdown!
January 26, 2015
Poor quality.
Ripped on first use. Not sewn well. Will be returning and perhaps looking for a better one.
January 2, 2015
So Far So Good!
Gave this to my son for Christmas. His coach wanted him to work on sprinting speed during the off season. It is pretty cool and works well for him. He's 13 and plays select soccer. He's only used it 2 days so far, so too soon to have measured results. He did say he feels the resistance. To add to it he was running up a slight incline. Chute fully extends and opens. Only improvement I would want for this to be a harness not just a belt. This would allow for the chute to be higher up with less dragging whe he starts.

Ideal for speed training
This parachute was a good buy and well worth the money. I use it to train for football and it has helped a lot. I practiced running routes with it and it helped my explosiveness and top speed. It also shaved some time off my 40 yard dash and it is also helpful for those who run track.

Great for Training
I purchased the SKLZ Speed Chute so that I may take my players speed training to the next level. It worked! My players not only get great workouts, but they actually love to use the chute. I can run them into the ground, but they always come back because it's something different and fun for them to do. I use this in conjuction with the SKLZ 360 Recoil and the combination is great. Highly recommended!
December 9, 2014
Everyone is telling me that it works. I get it and it never pulled back. don't rec emend the product
September 29, 2014
Chute tore only using it once. Returned to store. Would not recommend product.

It works!
I'm using it to increase my speed for football, and in only two weeks it has definitely increased my speed.
June 29, 2014
I am a young basketball player and my trainer always has us do dry land training. This product is the best! It improves your speed so fast!

Previous Scarlet performance
Yes, thanks for the Scarlet idea. What a thrill to hear a song from October at last. You're right that the band had never performed Scarlet in concert before, but they did perform it on a BBC radio show on September 3, 1981.

Scarlet and our miners
Being able to hear scarlet was amazing, with & without Jay Z. Stoked to be there when this first hit the speakers. The tributes to the miners were incredibly emotional and very appropriate. A moment I will never forget. Please visit again soon.

Loved hearing Scarlet
So glad that you suggested Scarlet - it was lovely and so great to hear it live. Like all U2 music (in my opinion) it just has that something extra when played live. Thank you. And thanks for all your hard work - it paid off - both shows in NZ were amazing! Come back soon please :-)

Le Creuset® Classic Rosemary Curved Oven, 2¾ qt.
A revolution in cookware began in 1925 when Armand Desaegher, a casting specialist, and Octave Aubecq, an enameling expert, recognized an opportunity to improve the versatility of cast iron cookware by coating it in a porcelain enamel glaze. They established the Le Creuset factory in Fresnoy Le-Grand, France, where ...

Liquid Lipstick
A fun, flirty pink that has a subtle shimmer. Wear it lightly for a more translucent look, or apply generously for a brighter color that reminds you to be cheerful and high spirited. The moisturizing jojoba oil and rose wax base ensure lips stay soft and smooth. Because this creamy lipstick is so versatile, many of us have been using it as a blush. Just dot a small amount on the cheeks and blend well. Bubbly; Laugh out loud.

Install the proprietary driver. No discussion here. KDE works great with FGLRX, so you don't have to worry about desktop. Anyway, even if something goes wrong, you can always return to the open driver.
Hi everyone, first post here.
I just recently installed Kubuntu 11.10 64-bit on my HP Pavilion D7 laptop, due to Win7 taking a crap. I was curious if I could run my Steam games over Wine, so I used PlayOnLinux 4.0.14 to install Steam. I re-downloaded ESIV: Oblivion, and everything seemed to go well until I tried to play it. Even on the lowest settings and 800x600 resolution, there was massive video corruption and window flickering, and sound didn't work after the title screen.
My HP Pavilion D7 has an AMD Turion II processor @ 2.4 GHz and an ATi Radeon HD 4530M discrete GPU, which could play Oblivion smoothly on medium settings and 1280x800 resolution while in Windows.
Granted, I'm running the open-source radeon drivers that come with Kubuntu 11.10, and I know they're still immature.
Are there any tricks or tweaks I can make to my currently existing setup to get a playable experience, whether it be to Kubuntu/ PlayOnLinux/ Wine/ Steam/ radeon drivers, or will I need to install the proprietary ATI driver to get Oblivion working? I like my desktop the way it is, and I'm more than a little concerned about the quality of my desktop experience if I switch to the closed drivers.
Install the proprietary driver. No discussion here. KDE works great with FGLRX, so you don't have to worry about desktop. Anyway, even if something goes wrong, you can always return to the open driver.
Hmm, dunno about the mobile stuff, but that game is well supported by Wine and based on the same engine as Fallout 3 which works well with r600g (at least on my Evergreen) so it could be worth investigating further before installing fglrx.
Hmm, I upgraded my default radeon/ mesa/ xorg drivers to the ones in Oibaf's PPA, but video output from Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is still corrupted. Well, it's not as bad, guess.
So..... what's the best way to install the current FGLRX driver? I figure I should revert to the default Kubuntu drivers first with PPA-purge, but what then? Do I just click on the "Additional Drivers" tab in the Kubuntu menu? Or is it better to use a third-party installer?
Oblivion runs perfect in wine with the radeon driver i can make screenshots if you want.
in fact your wine install is wrong you have to use the winetricks and install the directX libs from microsoft.
you need this files even with the FGLRX driver.
you get an outdated driver with clicking on the "additional driver" tab in the kubuntu menu.
in my point of view you should use the third-party installer with the newest version.
but in my last test the fglrx broke my packetmanagment system means you get a broken system after the remove of the fglrx because the catalyst touch files in your system in a dirty way.
