About OneRepublic
OneRepublic working on new album
OneRepublic sure got a ton of mileage out of its 2013 album, "Native." In fact, the track "Love Runs Out," recorded at a studio in Prague, was originally intended to be the album's first single, but instead was added as the second track on the album release on April 14, 2014.
As it turned out, "Love Runs Out" had an amazingly good run and was an internationally successful track, breaking the top 5 in Austria, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, and the UK; and reaching the top 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was also chosen as the promotional song for the ABC smash hit television series "How to Get Away With Murder."
In September 2014, OneRepublic released the music video for "I Lived", which would become the sixth single off their "Native" album. Ryan Tedder noted that he wrote the song for his 4-year-old son, and the related video aimed to raise awareness of cystic fibrosis by featuring a 15-year-old named Bryan Warnecke who lives with the condition. A remix was also later released for the Coca-Cola [RED] campaign to fight AIDS.
In November 2014, members of OneRepublic tweeted photos captioned, "Hotel recording, Poland. Album 4," and "Mid afternoon, working on new album, and this is the view ..... LP 4 is fun already." While there hasn't been official word yet on the new album release date, OneRepublic does have other things to celebrate. It recently played the iHeart show at Brooklyn Bowl (said by the Las Vegas Sun to be the "Oscar-worthy" concert of the weekend") and was recently named a nominee of this year's Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.
OneRepublic meets country at the Crossroads
Talk about a crossover. The lead singer of OneRepublic recently took the CMT Crossroads stage in Nashville, Tennessee for a night of musical convergence, teaming up with country star Dierks Bentley to put a new spin on each other's biggest hits.
Of course Ryan Tedder is no stranger to Nashville. He moved to Music City when he was 18 years old, and it was only a matter of time until one of the city's biggest artists entered Tedder's radar. (In fact, at least one has covered a OneRepublic hit. Luke Bryan included "Apologize" on his 2009 sophomore album "Doin' My Thing.")
The CMT Crossroads: OneRepublic and Dierky Bentley episode is slated to air March 21 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CMT. It's just one more event to circle on the calendar for the band, which recently announced an early summer 2014 tour thanks to last year's influx of ticket sales. This trek will add 27 new dates, including major markets where the band sold out in 2013. For most of the tour they'll be joined by both The Script and American Authors.
No doubt their recent success can be credited to the single, "Counting Stars," which peaked at No. 2 on the Hote 100 and hit No. 1 on the Pop Songs and Adult Top 40 charts. And though if seems as if brand new music from the band is a long way off, Tedder apparently has some ideas swirling for OneRepublic's next album. According to Billboard, recording likely won't occur until the band's Septmeber tour in Europe, where it's booked time at multiple studios.
About OneRepublic
Meet America's self-proclaimed "genreless" band, formed in 2002 by Ryan Tedder and Zach Filkins. This now five-man act first achieved mainstream success by posting songs to MySpace. But once they became a mainstream act, the sky was the limit for the band that was "Dreaming Out Loud."
OneRepublic, of course, made the biggest splash possible with its debut single. The hit "Apologize" not only received a monster 10,331 radio plays in one week, it briefly held the record for biggest radio airplay hit in the Top 40 radio in North America. The remix version went to No. 1 in sixteen countries and gained 10 million downloads, earning them a Grammy nomination. It was followed by "Stop and Stare," and the success of both songs allowed the band's debut album to gain platinum certification in the U.S. and gold in three other countries.
The band performed "Apologize" live on Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance," with Timbaland on an episode of "One Life to Live," and the song was featured on at least four other television shows. The run of success eased the transition to their sophomore album "Waking Up" in 2010, and continued into 2013 with the release of their third studio project called "Native." The lead single, "Feel Again," was performed for the first time on Good Morning America, and the full disc dropped in March of 2013.
OneRepublic is currently co-headlining a tour with singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles. It kicked off August 29, 2013 and wraps September 20 in Houston. The three-week span includes 13 concerts, with One Republic touring in support of their new album and Bareilles in support of her upcoming fourth studio album, "The Blessed Unrest."
Tedder was also recently picked by Adam Levine to be a team advisor on the upcoming season of NBC's "The Voice."
The 25 Highest Grossing Tours of the Summer
As far as live music goes, this summer was one filled with epic collaborations, musical icons and pop starlets. From Paul McCartney to Beyonce & Jay Z, The Eagles to One Direction, the season offered something for everyone. But with such fierce competition, who came out on top?

The Most Talked About Business Moves of 2012
Facebook IPO BlunderSpaceX Resurrects Space TravelZynga's Dying Breaths Uber's Legal BattlesCrowdfunding & Microlending Take RootDaily Deals a Dying Trend?Start-ups Step Up After SandyDisgruntled CEOs Act Badly Post-ElectionBad Medicine Causes Meningitis Outbreak
It seems like this year some businesses fell out of favor with the entrepreneurial gods, while others basked in their glory. Golden children Facebook and Zynga got their silver spoons yanked away, while SpaceX, Airbnb, and Kickstarter were blessed beyond measure. See who came out of 2012 on top.
For investors and the tech industry, there wasn't much to like about Facebook's feverishly anticipated IPO in May. The offering experienced technical, tactical, and ultimately, legal problems: by August the company's stock had lost more than half its value. (More recently, the price has risen, reflecting--among other things--Facebook's improved prospects for mobile.) That debacle gave other IPO-eager companies the jitters and prompted the SEC to review some of its rules.
The touchdown of the Atlantis in 2011 marked the end of NASA's adventures in manned space travel. But the end of an era doesn't necessarily mean the end. In May, SpaceX's Dragon capsule became the first private craft to visit the International Space Station, part of a $1.6 billion NASA contract. SpaceX's first manned flight is expected in 2015; and NASA has contracted with two other private companies for "space taxis" to keep us boldly going, etc.
You know what they say: it's all fun and games until somebody loses $53 million in one quarter. At Zynga--until recently a favored Facebook friend--the stock is down. Advertising is down. Innovation is down. (EA, which sued Zynga for copyright infringement, is just the largest firm complaining that Farmville's parent doesn't grow its own.) Last month, the company shed 5% of its workforce; more than a dozen key executives had already beat a retreat. For investors who bought into the lackluster IPO last December, it's been a long year of disillusionment. To non-gamers, the decline of a business selling virtual objects for real cash might seem like the restoration of sanity.
Uber wants to be disruptive but all it gets is dissed. The start-up, which lets people summon town cars or cabs with a smartphone app, has twigged off officials in many cities, who complain about lack of pricing transparency, drivers' use of electronic devices, and infringement of local laws like New York's prohibition on prearranged taxi rides. Taxi drivers in Chicago have sued over trademark violations and consumer fraud; San Francisco drivers brought a similar complaint. One score for the team: Uber reached a deal early this month with the Washington D.C. City council that gives the company freedom to operate there with local drivers. Many people who have tried Uber say they love it, and tech enthusiasts want the company to persevere.
With banks still playing Mr. Stingypants, capital-hungry small businesses increasingly relied on mass appeals through sites like Quirky, RocketHub, and Kickstarter. Microloan ventures like Kiva, meanwhile, continued to add U.S. cities to their developing-world portfolios. In April, the government--egged on by an entrepreneur-driven campaign--made it safer and easier to go out in the crowdfunding waters with the JOBS Act. That law, among other things, capped investments at non-shirt-losing levels; allowed donors to receive equity; and increased the amount entrepreneurs can raise and how many folks they can raise it from.
Researchers into consumer psychology could write whole books about the disenchantment with daily deal sites. The avalanche of offers got tedious. And there are just too many companies, although economic Darwinism is culling the herd. Many merchants, meanwhile, experienced a brief, sometimes unmanageable bump in traffic that cost them money and didn't reliably produce new regulars. Groupon's stock price is down more than 10% from its IPO. Amazon wrote off more than 90% of its investment in Living Social. Gilt Groupe has closed down its men's fashion site, slimmed down its food site, and is trying to sell its Jetsetter travel site. Maybe it can offer it as a deal.
This year Airbnb emerged as a champion of the sharing economy. Last year's ugly headlines about homes left looking like Keith Moon stayed there have been largely forgotten. Instead, the company became a hero for waiving fees for hosts and guests in areas affected by Hurricane Sandy and creating a platform for those offering free housing in wake of the disaster. Sandy was also a big moment for Instagram, which experienced more than its share of big moments this year (including a $1 billion acquisition by Facebook). Users posted 800,000 photos of the property-gobbling storm and its aftermath, creating a Twitter-challenging enabler of citizen journalism and a new way to chronicle history.
Whether they were acting out of necessity or protest or spite is a matter for debate. Certainly the CEOs who announced layoffs after President Obama's reelection insisted they had no choice. Robert Murry, CEO of Murry Energy, blamed Obama's "war on coal" when he let go 156 people. Zane Tankle, the CEO of Applebees, told Fox News he might have to dismiss some people, while the CEO of Pappa John's said some of his franchisees might do the same. Maybe all these people should have laid off workers before the election. That way, they could have used rising unemployment numbers to make their case for a Romney victory.
Just a few months ago, most people didn't know what a compounding pharmacy was. Now they're crying out for regulation, responding to an outbreak of fungal meningitis, which has killed 38 patients and sickened 440. The contaminated drugs at fault come from the New England Compound Center, in Framingham, Massachusetts. That business, founded by Barry Cadden, was forced to close and may lose its license. Inspectors found potential contamination at another Cadden company, called Ameridose. Some people should not be serial entrepreneurs.

Dr. Andrew Von Eschenbach — President, Samaritan Health Initiatives & Chairman, Manhattan Institute's Project FDA
Congress sometimes has the habit of passing laws it won't pay for. A case in point is the FDA Modernization Act. It imposes new regulatory responsibilities on the Food and Drug Administration. But agency managers say they can't fulfill the law because they don't have enough money. Von Eschenbach is a former FDA commissioner,
Kevin Bogardus — Reporter, The Hill

Davita Vance-Cooks — Acting Public Printer Government Printing Office

Cybersecurity Updates
Intelligence officials think Iran is behind cyber attacks on Aramco, the big Saudi oil company. The New York Times reports analysis of the virus code reveals clues the attack was payback for the Stuxnet and Flame viruses. Stuxnet caused damage to Iran's nuclear processing capabilities. In the Saudi attack, the company was forced to replace the hard drives on tens of thousands of machines. The virus removed data and replaced it with images of a burning American flag. (New York Times)
DoD Reports
The Army is is about to launch exercises to test new battlefield technology. Exercises will take place at Fort Bliss and the White Sands missile range in New Mexico. Soldiers will use a new bundle of 600 I-T systems called Capability Set 13. They'll be able to pick and choose which applications are needed for a given situation. Brigade teams trying out the new technology bundle are headed for Afghanistan. Army officials say they are testing not only the technology itself, but also a new, more flexible way of acquiring it. (Federal News Radio)
As troops withdraw from Afghanistan, they may be assigned to East Asia. The Army's top commander in the region says he wants soldiers to do 30-to-45 day rotations. Lt. Gen. Francis Wiercinski says relationships matter and this way, troops will get to know their counterparts in the region. He says it's an alternative to establishing more U-S bases...something no one wants to do. Wiercinski spoke at a DoD bloggers' roundtable yesterday. He also announced that an Australian officer will become deputy commanding general for operations in the region. It's the first time in U.S. Army Pacific's history that it has asked an allied army general to join the leadership. (Defense Department)
The Defense Information Systems Agency is looking for a way to manage a quarter million hand-held devices. It has issued a request for proposals for a mobile device management system. If the three-year project works out, DISA might expand it to cover all mobile devices in the Defense Department. That would put up to eight million devices under a single management system. DISA tells vendors the management system must work for Apple I-O-S and Google Android devices. The contractor would also be responsible for making sure the mobility platform complies with federal security requirements such as Fips 140-2. (Federal News Radio)

From Barnes & Noble
"The greatest novel ever written" is a superlative applied frequently to Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, which first appeared in print in 1875. This world literature classic has inspired dozens of stage, movie, and ballet adaptation, the latest of which is the Universal Pictures September release film starring Keira Knightley and Jude Law. This official movie tie-in contains a fine translation by Louise Maude and Alymer Maude and the screenplay by Tom Stoppard. If you haven't read it yet; it's time.

JON CARDINELLI writes that the Lions' key decision-makers will need to lift their standards after a disappointing showing in the loss to the Hurricanes.
There are reasons to feel excited about this Lions side. They have some gifted individual runners that have successfully carried their Currie Cup form through to the Super Rugby competition.
Having said that, is individual brilliance enough to inspire optimism regarding the team's play-off aspirations? It's a question that should be asked after the recent defeat, as once again the Lions wowed and disappointed in equal measure.
It's easy to look at the positives and declare them a sign of progress. The Lions played a high-tempo game against the Hurricanes, and were relatively successful in that they made 10 linebreaks. The stat of 18 offloads also shows that there is a willingness to keep the ball alive and deny the opposition defence time to reset.
But too many of those thrilling breaks anti-climaxed in turnovers. The wrong options were taken and in the aftermath coach John Mitchell lamented the missed opportunities.
This is no new affliction for a Lions Super Rugby side that has perennially entertained with their expansive style but never delivered a measure of consistency nor showed a clinical edge that so often means the difference in tight games.
Mitchell will know that. He has acknowledged that this Lions side has attacking strengths, and it's clear that he means to amplify them. He has, however, sought to bring a measure of balance to their game. They are already a better defensive side than in previous seasons, but they are yet to show real maturity when it comes to switching from attack to percentage play when the situation demands it.
There were large periods in last Saturday's match where the Lions opted to keep possession and build an attack from within their own half. It was frustrating to watch as they toiled and fought their way up to the halfway line, stringing together multiple phases before a loose pass or breakdown turnover halted their momentum. There were other occasions when the Hurricanes used that turnover ball to good use, launching a counter-attack and often translating that opportunity into points.
The Lions will come up against a desperate Sharks side at Kings Park this weekend, and they will have to show as much accuracy and tactical smarts as aggression and a willingness to attack. Their pack needs to stand up to that of the Sharks, but then the decision-making of halfbacks Michael Bondesio and Elton Jantjies will be crucial to their cause.
The Lions made a lot of ground with ball-in-hand against the Hurricanes, and there may have been some reluctance to kick too much on the New Zealanders' dangerous back three. They were also helped by the visitors' poor defence, which leaked as many as 26 tackles.
The Sharks will be more organised in this regard. Their defence and aggression at the tackle point was much improved when they faced the Stormers last week, and while they are also searching for attacking accuracy, they have the potential to turn turnovers into points. They showed that during the latter stages of their first 2012 fixture against the Bulls when Jacques Botes finished off a great try.
There is enough mongrel in the Lions pack and enough firepower in their backs to unsettle the Sharks. But just how that energy is channelled will determine their success. Jantjies especially will be an important figure as far as the fight for territory is concerned. There may be opportunities to strike from deep, but he must also give his side the opportunity to pressure the Sharks from within the hosts' half.
His tactical kicking will need to be accurate, and his chasers will be equally important. When the Lions do have a chance to strike with ball-in-hand, individuals will need to show better skill and decision-making than they did against the Hurricanes.
On as many as 20 occasions they relinquished possession. They need to improve in this facet if they hope to build some continuity, and then translate that dominance into points. It won't be easy against a fired-up Sharks side that is yet to win in 2012, but it's a more measured and controlled course the Lions will need to follow if they hope to make their mark as real Super Rugby contenders.

Competing with Channel Partners: Supply Chain Conflict when Retailers Introduce Store Brands
2010, Naval Research Logistics
Hans Sebastian Heese
Private-label products are of increasing importance in many retail categories. While national-brand products are designed by the manufacturer and sold by the retailer, the positioning of store-brand products is under the complete control of the retailer. We consider a scenario where products differ on a performance quality dimension and we analyze how retailer–manufacturer interactions in product positioning are affected by the introduction of a private-label product. Specifically, we consider a national-brand manufacturer who determines the quality of its product as well the product's wholesale price charged to the retailer. Given the national-brand quality and wholesale price, the retailer then decides the quality level of its store brand and sets the retail prices for both products. We find that a manufacturer can derive substantial benefits from considering a retailer's store-brand introduction when determining the national brand's quality and wholesale price. If the retailer has a significant cost disadvantage in producing high-quality products, the manufacturer does not need to adjust the quality of the national-brand product, but he should offer a wholesale price discount to ensure its distribution through the retailer. If the retailer is competitive in providing products of high-quality, the manufacturer should reduce this wholesale price discount and increase the national-brand quality to mitigate competition. Interestingly, we find the retailer has incentive to announce a store-brand introduction to induce the manufacturer's consideration of these plans in determining the national-brand product quality and wholesale price.

text: After playing 2 rounds at OC for the Louisville Series, Daniel and I went to Muldraugh to play a round. On hole 3 I threw my dx roc and hit the chains just a little left and it kicked out. Closest I've ever come to an ace. I wish it would have grabbed. I guess I'll keep waiting.

Doesn't matter what we would've done otherwise. The Magic didn't let him walk for nothing. And the point is that particular line can be used to disparage every single player that's signed, traded, drafted after #1, or whatever.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
At 1:07 in this vid, who created this shot for Anderson? Just because he doesn't do it often doesn't mean he CAN'T do it. His main role is to get open and separate himself from his opponent and knock down the 3 ball. He's not in the 'creator' role on this team. He's also done surprisingly well being in a position for putbacks and rebounds.
Have a pot of gumbo on me.
You and throne need to start a "our bigs need to create their own shots" fan club.

And I pointed out that in saying his previous team made no effort to re-sign him as it somehow invalidates his talent, it's a weak argument. A dozen factors could come into play. They don't necessarily mean the Magic went "Eh, he's not that good anyway." Or they know something we didn't.
Our bigs need to be able to bring the ball up too, then.
I've seen him do that plenty of times this season Hunny.
Idk if Ryno is top 30, probably top 45, but Anderson is a great complimentary player. The top 30 is mostly guys who can either lead an offense or are really good on both ends imo.
And I dont think he's on Pejas level yet, prime Peja was an MVP candidate

The alternative is that he can only score if someone feeds him the rock. That's not true. He's scored in the paint off more than just offensive rebounds. It's not his greatest asset, but he can score on his own at times.
ETA: Also let me add that being able to create has a lot to do with creativity. He may lack a bit in creativity but he makes up for it in productivity.

Eevee's sprite in Blue. It's not drastically different, but just to point out, the ears are shorter. Like a Meowth.
Um... Ivysaur's back sprite looks like the flower is a turban on its head.
Mew's back sprite has a pointy head. Like a third ear in the middle.
Charmeleon, in the back sprite, his horn is a different colour than the rest of his body.
But the award for weirdest goes to Kakuna. Kakuna has like, scythe-claw-things...
Squirtle's sprite is really strange in my opinion.
Golbat's is odd! o.o and Chansey seems too fat..
Gastly doesn't have his orb and Gengar is just odd...

Based on an analysis of bill sponsorship by GovTrack, Hirono is a "far-left Democrat".[1]
Born in Fukushima, Japan on November 3, 1947, Hirono became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1959, the year Hawaii became a state. She is the first immigrant woman of Asian ancestry and the first Buddhist [2] to be sworn into Congressional office [3] Educated in Hawaii's public school system, Hirono graduated with honors from Kaimuki High School and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. She earned her law degree from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C., where she focused on public interest law.[3]

- United States House of Representatives Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure [4]

Cut, Cap, and Balance Act
Hirono voted against the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act in mid-July 2011. Many fiscal conservatives say the act is necessary to bring the United States' growing budget deficit under control. The bill passed the U.S. House by a vote of 234 yeas to 190 nays. The act is facing tougher challenge in the U.S. Senate and does not have the president's support.
The Republican-introduced bill proposes to raise the debt ceiling in exchange for "opening the door to deep cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid," as Hirono said in a written statement.
Hirono called the bill "deceptive" in the statement and that the bill also makes cuts to education, transportation and research and development.
"America needs to meet our financial obligations because defaulting on them would likely send us into a deeper recession. This is not a game. People across Hawaii want to see real compromise, not gimmicks like this that threaten Medicare and Social Security," Hirono said. "We're facing default in two weeks and these games are burning up the clock. We need Republican leaders to end the antics and start addressing the most pressing problems facing our country: creating jobs and getting our economy moving again."[5]
"Mainland" earmarks
For Fiscal Year 2009, the State of Hawaii was one of the top recipients of "mainland money" in the form of Congressional earmarks, receiving $210 dollars in "mainland money" per capita ($270,736,707 total). Maine, a comparable state in population, received only $55 per capita in earmarks.
Hirono sought 71 earmarks for a total of $162,135,002 in "mainland money." In sum, Hawaii's congressional delegation unsuccessfully attempted to flood $986,472,661 in "mainland money" to the islands for FY09.[6]
Specific votes
Fiscal Cliff
Hirono voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. She was one of 172 Democrats that voted in favor of the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257/167 vote on January 1, 2013.[7]

Republican Rep. Don Young endorses Mazie Hirono in the 2012 U.S. Senate Democratic primary.
In a rare cross-party endorsement, Hirono received the endorsement of Alaskan Republican Representative Don Young on July 24, 2012, for her primary battle.[10] The two created a 90 second video discussing bipartisanship and Young endorsed Hirono for U.S. Senate. "Though Don Young is certainly a Republican, and I am clearly a Democrat, we've forged a partnership that enables us to solve problems for the people of both Hawaii and Alaska," Hirono stated in the video.[10]
Republican candidate Linda Lingle responded to the surprise endorsement, critcizing Young as "controversial" and alluding to his past ethics issues.[11] Lingle's campaign manager Bob Lee said in a statement following Hirono's release of the new ad, "It should be troubling to the people of Hawaii that Mazie Hirono's first attempt to convey any example of bipartisanship is a video advertisement with one of the House of Representatives's most controversial members, who even Mazie's fellow Democrats have criticized on a range of ethics and spending issues."[11]
Hirono also received an endorsement from Lingle's opponent in the Republican primary, John Carroll.[12] In his endorsement he states "So, my decision on whom to support is based on my perception of the candidate's character and sincerity to help Hawaii. Of the two [Lingle and Hirono], I believe Mazie is predictable on issues and is of good and honest character, similar to Senator Daniel Akaka."[12]
Young has since endorsed Lingle in the general election.[13]
On November 2, 2010, Hirono won re-election to the United States House of Representatives. She defeated John W. Willoughby (R), Pat Brock (L), and Andrew Vsevolod Von Sonn (I) in the general election.[14]

Preparing for Surgery
"What to Do" Before Surgery
Smoking Cessation
Smoking irritates your lungs and may prolong your recovery. If you are a smoker, you will increase your lung function and efficiency each day that you are smoke-free before surgery. We recommend that you stop smoking immediately or at least three weeks before your surgery.
Swedish offers a smoking cessation program that lasts for eight weeks and provides participants with education and coaching to help them successfully stop smoking. The program involves a comprehensive approach to care. It focuses on not only the medical issues related to smoking, but also on the emotional and stress-management issues that help people to become successful non-smokers for life.
Learn more about Swedish's smoking cessation program, including the five keys for quitting smoking.
Other available resources to learn how to quit smoking:
- The Tobacco Quit Line offered by the Washington State Department of Health. For more information, visit www.quitline.com or call 1-800-QUIT-NOW.
- Free one-hour workshops to learn how to quit smoking. Visit www.freequitclinic.com or call 1-888-866-0843 for information about workshops in the Seattle area.
Maintain or increase your physical activity before surgery
- General Excersize/Rehabilitation: If you are participating in an exercise or rehabilitation program, you should continue this until you arrive at the hospital for surgery. Daily activity will help condition your muscles and make it easier for you to move after your operation. Walking is generally an easy and effective way to maintain your physical conditioning before your admission to the hospital.
- Breathing Exercise: Breathing exercises are an important part of your recovery, especially after lung surgery. Deep breathing and coughing will help you to clear secretions after surgery and can help you relax before and after surgery.
If you develop a fever, a persistent cough, or discolored sputum (green or gold) prior to surgery, please call our office immediately.
Diet Instruction
- Eat a balanced diet prior to surgery: You will be permitted to eat and drink up until midnight before your surgery date. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
- Bowel Prepatation: Some patients will be required to complete a bowel preparation prior to the day of surgery. Your surgeon will discuss this with you when scheduling your surgery. Detailed instructions will also be provided to you in writing at that time.
As much as possible, relax the day before surgery, spend time with your family and get a good night's sleep.
"What NOT to Do" Before Surgery
Any medication that may cause bleeding will be stopped before surgery. Please be sure to stop taking these medications as directed by your surgeon or anesthesiologist.
1 Week Before Surgery
- NO Aspirin
- NO Plavix
- NO Ticlid
- NO All medicines containing aspirin such as Anacin, Excedrin, Fiorinol, Aggrenox and Alka-Seltzer
5 days before surgery
- NO Coumadin
2 Days Before Surgery
NO all non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) medications, which include:
- NO Celebrex
- NO Diclofenac
- NO Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)
- NO Meloxicam (Mobic)
- NO Nabumetone (Relafen)
- NO Naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn, Anaprox)
- NO Piroxicam (Feldene)
Discontinue all supplements at least 48 hours before surgery. If not dissolved properly, they can make your surgeon's job more difficult. Some nutritional supplements and foods can interfere with anesthesia and healing and should be avoided for one week before surgery. The most common (but not all) include:
- NO Vitamin E
- NO Gingko bilboa
- NO Fish oils
- NO Couramin
- NO White willow bark
- NO Garlic extract
- NO Onion extract
- NO Ginger root
- NO Ginseng
- NO Nightshades (tomato, potato, pepper and eggplant)
For more information, you can call the Northwest Natural Health Specialty Care Clinic at Swedish at (206) 386-3015 or visit their website at www.naturalhealth.com
1 Day Before Surgery
- NO Lovenox
Tylenol may safely used at any time as long as you follow the directions on the label.

When the price of groceries go up, sherry hickey notices. "Milk has gone up. All my groceries have went up." One big reason is because diesel fuel prices are through the roof. In some places, the price per gallon has gone up by 45 cents over a few weeks. Trucker, Charles Buck says the load he's hauling will probably cost more than usual for the company that is going to buy it. "It's frustrating, and it doesn't make a lot of sense why it goes up and down all the time," says Buck, who just paid $433.38 to fill up his rig. The cost of shipping gets passed on to the customer just like anything else. Meanwhile, Miss Hickey is would like to see diesel prices drop, so the price of milk drops.She's not only concerned about the price of unleaded gas anymore. "I'm hoping it (d

What's Growin' On Stony Brook
" On every stem, on every leaf,... and at the root of everything that grew, was a professional specialist in the shape of grub, caterpillar, aphis, or other expert, whose business it was to devour that particular part. " ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes
Who hasnt looked over their houseplants and observed little cottony looking clumps in the leaf corners, or little gnats flying around the soil? Have you ever flipped over some foliage to find little scales on the undersides and pale, yellowish, growth, or webbing surrounding a speckled stunted sprig? But they looked so good just a few short weeks ago, right?
Absolutely! Heres why;
In the nursery or outside, your plants are exposed to the washing waters of rainfall or daily hosing in the greenhouse, the predatory insects and applications that keep the bad guys at bay, and the perfect amounts of sunshine and food that keep plants thriving. We drag them inside and steal their sunlight hours behind curtains and walls. We turn our oil or gas heat on, drying out the moisture that kept their leaves supple and soil damp. They are existing without the help of trained growers that recognize disease and insects. And at the end of the day, we cant understand why they are performing so poorly.
In this article I will discuss some of the common insects that rob our plants of vigor and vitality, indoors and out.
The Common Insect Culprits
Very small, sap sucking insects that resemble miniature grasshoppers. You will usually notice them first at the unions of the stem and leaf, then along the petiole, and eventually on the leaf and the entire plant, gathering mostly on the new growth. They suck the sap from the leaf causing a pale appearance which leaves a shiny residue on the plant leaf called honey dew, a telltale sign of feeding.
Another large group of sap sucking insects that excrete honeydew. You will most likely notice shell like bumps on the undersides of the leaves and on the petiole/stem attachment. One species is responsible for the white, cotton like masses you find on your indoor and outdoor plants which are actually the insects egg masses.
Fungus Gnat
Fungus gnats are small, delicate bodies flies that live within the first 2-3 of soil. Their larvae feed on the plant roots, algae, and fungi.
Spider Mites
Actually members of the arachnid family and are easily distinguished by their telltale webbing and stippling. A healthy plant will quickly show dull brown leaves and what looks like cobwebs will form around plant sections. A healthy female can lay 20 eggs per day, one of those offsprings can reach sexual maturity in 5 days.
Waging the War
The easiest and safest way to manage these guys would be a cycle of applications of horticultural oil which can be found at your garden center or home improvement center. They are oil based products which smother or interrupt the feeding of soft bodied insects. You can also mix up two tablespoons of vegetable oil, two tablespoons of dishwashing soap, and a gallon of water for a homemade insecticidal soap spray. If the infestation has gotten significant you can also purchase a systemic insecticide or pesticide spray. Whichever application you choose, be sure to apply it on a weekly basis for at least three weeks to control all of the insects life cycles.
Additional Tips
Try to keep your plants moisture levels up by incorporating a moisture dish and even think of supplementing the light source with a grow light on a timer. A healthy plant can withstand insects and disease attacks well than a weak one.

Cat Cancer Lumps
Cat Cancer Lumps
Lumps and bumps will appear on or under the skin of most senior cats. Most of these are benign and are no cause for concern. If however, your cat has a new lump, you should consult with your veterinarian before making a decision. The bump needs to be evaluated. Your vet can examine the lump and do the necessary tests to determine if it is a malignant tumor.
Types of Cancer Lumps
There are several different types of cancer lumps that may appear on your cat.
Lymphomas can appear under the skin in the lymph nodes, in the liver, spleen and other organs, and can lead to Cat Lymphoma Cancer. The internal lumps are felt upon examination by your vet. Those that involve lymph nodes will often appear as lumps under the skin. Some of the tumors in the lymph nodes cause no symptoms. Others can cause itching, swelling, ulcers and redness. Normal treatment is removal of the lump.
There are two basic types of sarcomas, fibrosarcoma and hemangiosarcoma. Both are aggressive and are either on the skin or directly under it. They are aggressive tumors and can spread very quickly. Removal of the tumor can include amputation at times.
Hemangiosarcoma are those that appear on the chest or abdomen and are related to sun exposure. These are dark tumors and often will ulcerate. An example of this is Cat Bone Hemangiosarcoma.
Fibrosarcomas are seen around injections sites of medication or vaccination. They will appear as firm lumps that vary in shape. One example is [[]Cat Skin Fibrosarcoma].
Mast Cell Tumor
The appearance of a mast cell tumor is not uncommon. They may vary in size and shape and can also vary in the number of tumors. This is one of the types of tumors that are graded. The grade can vary from one to four with level one being a slow growing tumor and level four fast and potentially able to metastasize. Success of the treatment depends on the stage of the mast cell.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Cat Squamous Cell Carcinoma is also quite common. These are specifically associated with sun damage or skin conditions. There are two possible ways they can appear. They can appear as cauliflower-shaped lesions. These usually ulcerate and are usually present on the face or as scaly, crusty ulcerations on the legs or other parts of the body that have been irritated frequently. Radiation or surgery are the two most common types of treatment for this type of cancer. Most treatment will depend on the location.
Basal Cell tumors
This type of tumor can be malignant or benign. As with any other tumor, Cat Basal Cell Tumor should arouse some concern in the cat owner. They will usually appear on the head, chest or neck. Occasionally they are soft and fluid filled, but can also be firm and dark in color. Basal cell tumors seldom metastasize and can be removed surgically without Cat Cancer Chemotherapy in most instances.
Histiocytosis can be present in one of three forms. While only one is malignant, it is important to have it checked. It appears as a large nodule that is hairless. In most instances there will be ulcers associated with them. The malignant histiocytosis can affect the internal organs and the skin and there is no effective treatment for them.
