Hey there! My son is going to kindergarten this September. I want to find fun things I can do for him such as drawing him a picture/writing a note for his lunch box, doing bentos, etc. Do you guys have any fun ideas? Also do you have any tips to help him? He's never gone to preschool and has always been with me. So I imagine the separation anxiety might get bad.

The most important thing is to have a positive attitude about it yourself. Definitely talk up the cool aspects of school: the lunchbox, the backpack, the new kids he'll meet, all the fun stuff about school, recess, etc. I'd see if your school has a open house so he can meet the teacher. My youngest is starting K this fall too and he's very excited and feels good about going since he's gotten to know the teacher a bit and met his bus driver.
Our school also does a night for the parents to go in and find out exactly what going to happen at school. They passed out a book to help kids get ready for school too which helped my oldest alot.
My daughter likes to drive by the school playground. She's really looking forward to using it at recess. In fact, I think that's the thing she's the most excited about.

NYC Doctor Launches Fibromyalgia-Focused Website and eBook
Dr. Josh Wagner, The Life House Chiropractic founder, announces launch of DrJoshWagner.com, a Fibromyalgia-specific treatment and community website — with FREE "Freedom From Fibromyalgia" eBook.
(PRWEB) April 13, 2012
Dr. Josh Wagner — the only Manhattan chiropractor specializing in Torque Release Technique, a drug-free, safe and natural treatment for Fibromyalgia and other chronic pain disorders — has announced the launch of his new Fibromyalgia-focused website.
To visit the new site, go to http://www.DrJoshWagner.com, which also features a free, downloadable, 50-page eBook — "Freedom from Fibromyalgia: Your Guide to Empowerment, Self-Care and Natural Healing Solutions."
Wagner says he created this comprehensive, easy-to-follow and innovative new website and manual — which offers the very latest, cutting-edge protocol in natural healing solutions, including specialized chiropractic care, cellular rejuvenation, diet and menus, and toxins related to Fibromyalgia — because traditional medicine fails to provide adequate treatment.
"So many people I´ve met and treated who are suffering from Fibromyalgia tell me that traditional medical care has failed them," says Wagner. "They've tried the prescribed medications and treatments, and are still in pain. I created this website and eBook because conventional medicine just isn't giving people the healing they need, and deserve."
"When it comes to treating and healing Fibromyalgia," explains Wagner, "you can't just pop a pill or have this condition surgically removed. But when people follow any or all of the protocol I've created on this site and in the eBook, they do start showing results, and healing their body."
Wagner´s new website will also feature informative new videos, cutting-edge treatment protocol, updated research and information, and offer a community forum for people affected by Fibromyalgia, where visitors can go for support and to share their own treatment ideas, success stories, and more.
"This website and eBook and the specific protocol I´ve created aren't just another one of those 'miracle cures' that so many suffering with Fibromyalgia have heard about or tried in the past," says Wagner.
"It's a step-by-step protocol that produces healing at a cellular level, where the conditions originated in the first place, due to toxicity, diet, genetics and other factors. It's no one´s fault for having this condition, but it´s each person´s responsibility to begin to proactively assist your body to recover and heal."
Wagner based the protocol in the website and eBook around his treatment methods at The Life House, which has helped even long-term Fibromyalgia sufferers recover their health, he says.
"The Life House has seen tremendous success in treating people with fibromyalgia, some who've suffered for a decade or more without finding relief," said Wagner. "So many patients who come for care are very frustrated and despondent over their symptoms, and reliant on pain medications to merely keep them functioning in life. But by addressing the root causes by implementing the protocols in this eBook, the body can and will begin to successfully heal."
To visit the new Fibromyalgia-focused website and download Wagner´s free eBook, go to http://www.DrJoshWagner.com.
For more information, contact The Life House at 212.876.3286. Also see The Life House on Facebook and Twitter.
The Life House Chiropractic also helps individuals and families dealing with other conditions such as high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, migraines, attention disorders, and childhood illnesses. With Torque Release chiropractic care, whether it is an acute or chronic condition, your body will get well naturally.
ABOUT DR. JOSH WAGNER: Wagner is the founder of The Life House Chiropractic, and he was mentored in TRT by its founder, Dr. Jay Holder, and graduated from New York University with honors and earned his doctorate in Chiropractic at Life University in Atlanta, Georgia. Wagner is a native New Yorker raised in Chappaqua.

Actor Wesley Snipes was arrested Friday in Florida on charges of tax fraud, if you guys remember there was a warrant for his arrest issued back in October.
He is charged with fraudulently claiming nearly $12 million in tax refunds and failing to file returns from 1999 through 2004. The actor voluntarily surrendered as he flew to Orlando International Airport. He was due to appear in court at 10:30 a.m. on Ocala, Fla. If found guilty on the tax-fraud charges, Snipes could face up to 16 years in prison. YIKES!

My baby seems to be having a hard time swallowing and refuses to eat. Could he have tonsillitis?
It's possible. Not all sore throats turn out to be tonsillitis, but tonsillitis is very common in childhood — and your baby's symptoms are typical.
Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils, the almond-shaped lymph nodes that hang down at both sides of the back of the throat. The tonsils filter out germs in the throat, but when a virus or bacteria is too strong, it can cause the tonsils to swell.
Your baby won't be able to tell you that his throat hurts, but besides difficulty swallowing and a refusal to eat, signs that your baby may have tonsillitis include:
- Ear pain (your baby may pull on his ears)
- Bad breath
- Snoring or mouth breathing while sleeping
- An elevated fever and chills
- Enlarged glands in the neck and jaw
- Change in sound of his cry
- Drooling
Many other throat infections can cause similar symptoms, though, so the doctor will need to examine your baby to make a diagnosis.
How will the doctor make a diagnosis?
First, she'll look into your baby's mouth and check to see whether the tonsils are red and inflamed. She'll also look to see whether there are white patches or pus on the tonsils.
Then she'll probably feel under your baby's jaw and on his neck to see whether the lymph glands there are swollen as well, which is another indication of tonsillitis. Like the tonsils, the lymph glands are part of the body's immune system and they can become inflamed when an infection is present.
Though strep throat is an uncommon cause of sore throats in babies, depending on what your doctor sees during her exam, she may take a throat culture to rule it out. She may have preliminary results in just minutes, but she might also send the culture to a lab for testing. Those results may take a day or two.
If your baby has strep, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics. It's important that you give your baby the complete course (usually over a ten-day period), even if he seems much better in a day or so. If he stops taking the antibiotics too soon, the bacteria may not be completely wiped out and could come back even stronger. Of course, antibiotics won't help if your baby's sore throat is caused by a virus.
Whether the infection is bacterial or viral, you'll want to keep your baby home until he's feeling much better (and has been on the antibiotic, if prescribed, for 24 hours), both for his benefit and the benefit of others who could easily catch the infection from him.
How can I make my baby more comfortable?
You'll want to make sure that your baby gets as much rest as possible, then do what you can to make him feel better. Some things to try:
- If your baby's eating solids, he may appreciate cold drinks or ice pops, which will numb the pain a bit, or warm (not hot), soothing liquids — like broth or tea.
- Place a comfortably warm hot-water bottle or compress on his neck.
- Give him the correct dose of children's acetaminophen to lower fever and ease pain. (Ask the doctor first if your baby is less than 3 months old.) Never give your baby aspirin, however, which is associated with Reye's syndrome, a rare but dangerous disease.
- Humidify the air. Adding moisture to the air can reduce throat irritation and make it easier for your baby to sleep. Be sure to change the water in a room humidifier daily and clean the unit as directed to help prevent the growth of harmful mold and bacteria.
- Keep cigarette smoke and other air pollutants away from your baby. These can irritate a sore throat.
Is tonsillitis ever serious?
Although less common in babies, tonsillitis is a very common childhood illness. And it's usually no cause for worry. You'll need to address it, though — by having your baby take antibiotics if the culprit is bacterial and by keeping an eye on the infection no matter the cause.
Tonsillitis can progress to form an abscess — a collection of pus between the tonsils and the surrounding tissue that can cause severe swelling. Rarely, the infection will spread to the bloodstream, neck, or chest.
The other danger is that, because it's hard for your baby to swallow, he will have a hard time getting enough fluids and may become dehydrated. So keep pushing the liquids, even in small sips, and watch for signs of dehydration.
If my baby does have tonsillitis, will he need to get his tonsils out?
Not at this age. Or even when he's a toddler. In fact, it's unusual for children under the age of 3 to have a tonsillectomy.
Even for older children, tonsillectomies aren't performed as often as they once were. Doctors now recognize that the tonsils play a role in filtering harmful bacteria and viruses, so they suggest removing them only when they're a chronic problem.

American Airlines' Impact on Northeastern Oklahoma
By Editor
(StateImpact Oklahoma) "American Airlines in February detailed a bankruptcy-restructuring plan that eliminated 2,100 jobs from its Tulsa maintenance base. Workers are worried about their jobs, and business leaders are concerned layoffs could mean losing about 10 percent of the area's aerospace workforce. And while the bulk of the base's employees live in big-city Tulsa, the bankruptcy could have a much bigger impact on small towns, data show." Read More

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds
By Tom Sellar
If a sense of life ran through the story of Alfie's simultaneous struggle with his queer identity and the forces conspiring to undo his Art, these holes in its plausibility would seem minor. But except when Steven Pascuale, as the object of Alfie's adoration, leads him on a rowdy tour of "The Streets of Dublin," the show barely wakes up. Apart from one pretty ballad, in which Alfie advises his troubled leading lady to "Love Who You Love," the show is melodically drab, constructed tightly on a musical and lyrical palette of what seem endless shades of gray. There's a drizzle of subplots and a host of minor characters (finely animated, especially by Ronn Carroll and Patti Perkins), but there's no flair in the event, and little Irishness. (The bay over which Faith Prince's belted top notes echo is clearly Sheepshead, not Dublin.) Trying to make its characters real, everyday people, the show seems to signal us constantly not to expect too much from them. They'd have done better to start with the assumption that a city where bus conductors read poetry to the passengers is the most important magical place in the world.
The love hasn't been left out of Say Goodnight Gracie, Frank Gorshin's 90-minute impersonation of George Burns; what's missing is its object. Gracie Allen, noticeably adored by the elderly audience to a degree that justifies all of the frequent encomia that Rupert Holmes's script has Gorshin lavishing on her, is only glimpsed in some film clips and heard in some sound bites (a few authentic, others mimicked by Didi Conn), but she's the evening's overpowering presenceand, inevitably, its aching absence. Without her, the show's just the not-very-interesting story of a successful straight man; the interest, like the laughs, belonged to the funny woman. George wrote a lot of Gracie's material, but we hear little about that process. Otherwise, the only arresting passages are his detailed recollection of childhood poverty on the Lower East Side (I was pleased that his better-off neighbors were the Feingolds), and his explanation of how the team's vaudeville act was structured. The evening's sole moving moment is Burns's description of how, before the first show in every theater they played, he went out onstage and lit a cigar: He had to know which way the drafts went, he explains, to know if he should stand on Gracie's right or her leftif he had blown smoke in her face, the audience would have killed him. The bulk of Say Goodnight Gracie's script is piffle, though Gorshin's rendering of the aged Burns is well done. But in its absolute weight of love (the audience's, for Gracie), that one moment roughly equals all of Romeo and Juliet.

The Charity That Began at Home
By St. John Hankin
Mint Theatre
311 West 43rd Street
Even St. John Hankin's 1906 comedy, The Charity That Began at Home, virtually a theorem about human nature in three QED acts, contains enough passion to make its action go amusingly haywire. Hankin's tactic is to show us what happens when a good-hearted highborn lady actually has to entertain and even employ the victims of her largesse. The ensuing upheaval, though carefully kept at a teacups-poised level of gentility, suggests Joe Orton with kid gloves on; even the irredeemable get their pretensions to wickedness stripped away. Gus Kaikkonen's production, a bold, crude woodcut of Hankin's elegant line drawing, nonetheless builds a sturdy bridge back to the era's museum-remote behavior. Harmony Schuttler plays her ladyship's pious daughter, to my relief, as if no one had ever told her that ingenues today are supposed to grate, whine, and generally behave like mall rats. Kristen Griffith and Becky London make some effect as her mother and her aunt, while Alice White supplies a droll cameo as the snootiest governess who ever resented a handout.

Critical Review by Judith Freeman
SOURCE: "Dr. Jekyll's Housekeeper," in Los Angeles Times Book Review, January 21, 1990, pp. 1, 10.
In the following laudatory review, Freeman compares Mary Reilly to Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), asserting that Martin's novel should be read as a "companion piece" to the latter.
A "fine bogy tale," frightening and vivid, was once dreamed by a husband who, crying out in his sleep, was awakened by his startled wife. Instead of feeling relieved at escaping the nightmare, he felt irritated that she had interrupted such an exciting story. Nevertheless, the dream survived, was eventually embellished by the dreamer (who also was a writer) and turned into a work of fiction.
The husband was Robert Louis Stevenson; the tale became Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a classic story with the power of myth whose very title has become synonymous with the concept of man's duality and those who lead double lives.
The Calvinist message in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, as Jenni Calder has pointed out in her introduction to a Penguin edition of the tale, was clear: Beware hidden sins! Avoid tampering with nature! The devil may not be as easy to recognize as we think, and the capacity for evil is within us all. Evil, in fact, is potentially more powerful than good: After all, in the end, it's the heinous Henry Hyde, sharing Jekyll's body, who destroys the well-meaning doctor.
There is another, subtler interpretation of the Dr. Jekyll myth, however, which Calder also points out. The "morality" of so-called respectable people is in fact a terrible burden, a prison that confines the natural spirit of humanity in an intolerable way. Dr. Jekyll, in becoming Mr. Hyde, is liberating himself from Victorian hypocrisy, though the result is, unfortunately, ultimately monstrous.
Now, just over 100 years after the original publication of Stevenson's story, comes a powerful and moving novel based on the same tale but this time told from the perspective of Dr. Jekyll's housemaid, Mary Reilly.
The first thing that must be said about Mary Reilly—whose author, Valerie Martin, has published five previous books—is that it's a brilliant piece of work, a whopping good story so perfectly realized that it stands out for its honesty and beauty. Mary Reilly is a character of great kindness and goodness. Her perceptions of human nature ring with simple truth. She has the tender sadness of the servant who never imagines the possibility of marriage or any other form of escape from her life of constant and lowly laboring, and yet she never complains. For Mary, it's enough to serve her "master" well.
Work is Mary's raison d'être. She toils to make a pretty little garden out of a dirt patch in the back yard. The smallest crumbs of praise or attention tossed in her direction by the kindly Dr. Jekyll fill her with a grateful happiness. She is obsessed with the importance of fulfilling her role with dignity, always remembering her "place." In the moments when she reflects upon her life, there is a terrible, heart-rending sadness to her self-effacement. And yet, she seems so wise in her naiveté, a fact that does not escape Dr. Jekyll, who gradually opens up to her and comes to rely on her for secret help, although she remains confused about his "experiments" until the truth is finally revealed.
In the opening pages of Mary Reilly, Mary is recounting for Dr. Jekyll the story of how she came to have such terrible scars on her neck and hands. The master has asked her to write down the story, sensing it would be too difficult to tell face to face, and thus Mary begins keeping a journal. The story of the scars is a chilling, startling beginning to the book, an incident so horrifying it has the power to lodge permanently in memory.
We learn that as a child Mary was abused by her drunken, lowlife father. His cruelty, his "evil" nature, suggests Dr. Jekyll's experiments with Hyde. One of the most interesting exchanges in the book occurs when Dr. Jekyll questions Mary on the subject of "good," a brief dialogue reminiscent of George Bernard Shaw. Mary is on her knees (a position we find her in repeatedly throughout the book, and one loaded with innuendo) cleaning the claw-legged table; Dr. Jekyll has just come home from a meeting with officials of a slum school he endows, angry because he's been told it's not worth it to try and educate the poor.
"I'm not so naive as to think we can solve the world's problems by having a school," he says, "but surely we've an obligation to relieve suffering when we can. And ignorance is suffering … any school, simply by existing, must be a force for the good." But Mary can't agree with that.
"I was thinking that there can never be such a thing as a force for the good, sir," she says, "and there's the pity of it." Force and good are words in opposition. "The two words won't go together, as force can never do aught but evil," Mary says. Doing good is very different from being good—the latter of course being the more unforced. She herself "only thinks of doing what I must do to stay as I am."
"Which is good," master says, as if to pay her a compliment. "No, sir," she replies. "Which is safe."
Martin has picked up and carried forward Stevenson's ideas quite brilliantly: It is because Jekyll has tried so hard to be good that his goodness is not natural; it is affected, untrue. The greater his attempts to force goodness, the greater the monstrosity of the "Hyde" that emerges.
"Was Stevenson suggesting that it was dangerous to suppress certain elements of human nature?" asked Calder in her essay.
I think he was, and I think there is a great deal of psychological truth in what he is saying. He had experienced directly the iron grip of Calvinism and of bourgeois morality on human behavior, and he had recognized that it could be destructive, destructive because it affirmed that good for the Majority was something external, artificial, not intrinsic to human nature: Men could not be good unless they were told how to be good.
Stevenson himself recognized a rather different kind of morality, a morality that came from within, that depended on a sensitive understanding of human relationships and responsibilities, that was flexible, individual, spontaneous.
Consider, in light of these words, the activities of the Moral Majority and the current efforts of certain segments of our society to dictate the behavior of others; the debate over abortion; the struggle to keep artistic expression free of legislative control, and our National Endowment for the Arts, an institution of worth and integrity, and one can appreciate the extraordinary timeliness of this tale.
"We all feel something is amiss," Mary writes toward the end of her story, meaning the servants of the house who can no longer ignore the menace in their midst. "It is like a fog rising up from the carpets, standing in every turning of the staircase. We carry on with our duties as best we can, for how can we do otherwise? But I think there is not an easy heart in this house."
What a fine book Mary Reilly is. It deserves to become a companion of its inspiration. In fact, the works fit together like two hands whose fingers are intertwined. Part of the amazing skill of Valerie Martin is how she takes details from Stevenson's story and recasts them on the page: She fills in the blanks; she tells you the "other" side.
The same players move across the stage. But Mary, who was mentioned only once in the original Dr. Jekyll and then never by name, is now the perfect, most empathetic observer of the tragically fatal events that end with a housemaid nestled on the floor against her dead "gentle Master," whispering to him, "This is a cruel trick."

March 22, 2009 - by Suge Green: As the rumors increase in frequency, and in the reputability of the respective sources reporting them, many have already accepted that Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather is returning to the boxing ring later this year. While it isn't exactly confirmed yet, many fans and pundits of the sport alike have began to speculate as to who Floyd's next opponent might be. Though it's pretty much a given that he will be looking to reaffirm his pound for pound ranking...specifically it is thought that he desires either a bout with the winner of Pacquiao-Hatton scheduled for later this year, or possibly a contest versus Juan Manuel Marquez in the not too distant future. However on his way there, it is all but a given that he will be fighting the traditional "tuneup" fight first..
While it may be tempting to look to those parked atop the mountain of boxing's world rankings for Floyd's eventual target (and no doubt more exciting for the casual fan, as chants of "Pacquiao & Hatton" echo in the background), it is much more difficult a task to predict who the fighter oftentimes called "the opponent," might be. Three points of interest in the discussion amongst the diehards about the still young Mayweather Jr.'s return as he looks to reclaim his position of dominance in the squared circle, and his selection of a first adversary are...that he must be a combination of respectable, somewhat marketable, and unfortunately for boxing fans...not a very serious threat.
As Floyd readies himself for a return which is speculated to happen this summer, the boxing world will look for a certain level of respectability in the opposition he is pitted against. After all, "Money May" was the sports number 1 fighter at the time of his departure, he can't expect the public to accept a fight against someone which would prove absolutely nothing. A fight between Mayweather and one without legitimate claims to a top 10 or 20 position should be considered a crime. A fighter of Floyd's caliber can cause serious harm to fighters who aren't of a certain class. We've all seen what happens when there is a large gulf in class in a fight, when someone in possession of Floyd's talent is painfully matched against a hopelessly outclassed opponent.
In addition, whoever wins the "tuneup lotto" will have to be able to draw, or if not at least be able to somehow catch the public's imagination. While happy to engage in the speculation surrounding Floyd's return, I'm not entirely sold on the traditional tuneup occurring in his case. Jr. hasn't stepped between the ropes for a prizefight since December of '07, if he does return sometime between June and August of '09, that's only 18-20 months of inactivity. With rumors of Floyd resuming his late night boxing training circulating, it is thought that he should be in top form around that time, whether he fights an "opponent" or an opponent...or a victim vs. a challenger, if preferred. With the amount of money that Floyd is expected to be after, it would be a difficult proposition for the pound for pound star to come out of his self imposed exile against his words for less than super-fight money. If he indeed does decide to enter the arena again before facing the biggest challenge he can find, he will either have to swallow the tough fact that he's getting much less than he's likely to desire financially...or he will have to come as close as he can to earning super fight money without actually fighting in one. It's easily illustrated the difficulty faced in creating a financially impressive tune up event. One way to offset some of the potential issues is to select an opponent that has legit claims to a coveted position or title, or facing one who is already in possession of the public's heart strings. Is there anyone hanging around 147lbs. that the public can get excited about Floyd facing, who is outside of the very pinnacle of the division...???
It appears at least somewhat possible that the boxing world can get excited about a future all time great facing less than the very best, but the largest obstacle to inspiring the boxing world with a performance against a tuneup opponent, no matter how worthy the opposition may be presented as, is the fact that the entire point of facing a tuneup type opponent is the beatability factor. Nobody is really going to be in shock if Floyd faces opposition which he is superior to, but he will probably have to give up something in at least one department. Whether it be a harder hitting fighter, a super active fighter, a fighter who doesn't get knocked down, etc...or whatever other compensating factors may be presented in order to make the bout more viable, and to make the playing field appear all the more level... Floyd would be foolish to face one who he has every conceivable advantage against. Really though, most consider Floyd to be in possession of the talent needed to beat all opposition in his weight range, so the beatability is something boxing fans should have already learned to deal with in regards to the undefeated former champion.
In any case, a year and a half layoff is not an unheard of length of time for a fighter to return to glory from, and Mayweather's chances of a successful return look very good. In closing, as the speculation continues to increase, I'll throw my choice in the hat right now for Pretty Boy Floyd's Tuneup Lottery...Luis Collazo.

Apologies to the three people who read this blog. I'm alive, promise. Days filled with this little guy... and a job and a host of other things.
Why the absence? Good question. We had a falling out with some family. It's still going on. So many things to be said on this. I've struggled with this, and in the process of that, I didn't post.
I think it boils down to "what is family?" and "how should family treat each other?" After every visit with someone you have ten nice things to think about and two awful ones, how much forgiveness do you give? If that family is generous, should that weigh in? If you have family who greatly disapproves of how you live, is the struggle to move past that worth maintaining the relationship?
Is family ALWAYS forgiven? What if you've been repeatedly hurt by things that have been said? What if you see them hurting other family?
This isn't the first time there have been issues and I've imposed a moratorium on contact. I've been cursed out, spit flying, as I've driven away. They have been sad parts during some of my happiest times in my life. They've told me awful things about people who have passed, tainting my memory of them but being unable to fix it. They've had such awful fights with me that I have dry heaved.
But when things are good, I enjoy them. They're family. I relish closeness.
But then they started in on one of my closest family members too (outside of James and my husband). How could I be ok with that? This behavior had to stop-- what if someday they treated James this way?
I'm family, not a verbal punching bag.
So, I put a moratorium on contact until I sort things out. I asked them to please tell me their side of the story. They never did. It's been 3.5 months and I've heard nothing from them.
It's left me feeling like I wasn't worth fighting for.
It's left me feeling a mixture of sad and mad. Sad that they're missing out. Mad that they don't seem to care.
All this is going on... and so it just seemed weird that I continue on here, telling stories and posting photos. That'd give them contact-- they'd know stories and they'd see photos, and that didn't seem fair.
So, I've been quiet on here. I'm sorry, because there's so much I want to post. How much I love my little family up here. How fantastic a dad my husband is. How much James amazes me. How much I love this little boy.
But, those stories will have to wait. Thanks for understanding as we grapple with things.

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--South Korea's LG Chem will start up its new 60,000 tonne/year solution styrene butadiene rubber (S-SBR) plant at Daesan at the end of October, a company source said on Wednesday.
In the meantime, the company will shut its 180,000 tonne/year butadiene rubber (BR) plant at the same site on 27-31 October to carry out technical works at the unit, the source said.
LG Chem's 140,000 tonne/year emulsion styrene butadiene rubber (E-SBR) plant, which is also located in Daesan, restarted on 20 October after shutting down on 15 October for technical adjustments, the source said.

"The effect D-1mT seemed to have on viral load was really encouraging but it was a surprise to us - we didn't expect D-1mT to work only in macaques that were already being treated with ART. It seems that D-1mT synergises with ART and we would really like to find out how this works," said Dr Boasso.
In healthy people, the IDO enzyme controls allergic reactions and autoimmune diseases and it also stops the foetus from being rejected in pregnancy. As D-1mT blocks IDO, the researchers say that its effects may need to be tested in SIV-infected macaques over a longer time, to determine if taking the drug could increase the risk of these conditions.
D-1mT is currently in Phase I clinical trials to test its safety and potential efficacy as a treatment for cancer, which should indicate whether the drug is suitable for treating human patients. The researchers hope that if D-1mT proves safe in the initial trials for cancer and shows further promise for treating HIV, trials for using D-1mT as a treatment for HIV could begin as early as 5 years from now.

Distance Learning Environmental Science Degrees with Course Info
For those who want to be part of the solution when tackling environmental problems, studying environmental science is a natural fit. Schools offer online flexible degree programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, so read on to explore what distance learning entails in this field.
Overview of Programs
Environmental science includes the examination of social aspects of environmental policies and regulations, as well as the natural biological, chemical and physical processes that affect the planet. Found at several four-year institutions, distance learning environmental science options include bachelor's and master's degree programs. These programs typically do not include laboratory or fieldwork classes, but students may have to complete internships to gain environmental science real-world experience.
Degree Options
Online programs in environmental science often use an interdisciplinary approach to educate students on issues facing the planet from multiple angles. Four-year bachelor's programs provide foundational knowledge in the field and may allow distance learners to specialize in a certain area of study, such as environmental policy, fisheries and wildlife or water science. Many distance learning bachelor's degree programs are designed to accept transfer students who have earned their general education credits at other institutions.
Distance learning master's degree programs, which typically take around two years to complete, generally include core courses and then offer a variety of electives to allow students to tailor their studies to a particular career interest; some programs incorporate social science coursework as well. Online students usually complete some type of research project as a culminating experience. Schools offering these programs often require applicants to have a bachelor's degree with several undergraduate credits in the sciences.
Common Online Courses
Distance learners access a virtual classroom to get class assignments, view lectures and interact with peers or instructors. Environmental science distance learning instruction includes natural science classes, courses in policy and law and classes that bridge social and natural issues, such as conservation biology and resource protection programs. Students can expect to take online classes in the following areas:
- Atmospheric science and air quality
- Conservation biology
- Environmental risk analysis
- Hydrology
- Natural reserve design
- U.S. and international environmental policies and regulations
- Waste management
Potential Careers
Graduates of online environmental science degree programs are qualified to compete for positions with government regulatory agencies, non-profit conservation and environmental organizations and environmental consulting firms. Corporations interested in making their products and processes more environmentally-friendly also employ environmental science degree graduates.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), jobs for environmental scientists and specialists are projected to grow 15% by 2022, with most of the demand generated by consulting firms (www.bls.gov). The average salary for these professionals, based on 2013 BLS data, was $70,770.

The providers of Cloud services are gaining lots of small and mid-sized business clients because of their inherent convenience. Such customers generally lack the staff to create and maintain a secure data infrastructure, which is a selling point of Cloud services. Most small companies assume that the Amazons, Apples and Googles of the world have better protections in place for their customers' data than the customer could ever have alone. While this might be true, let's investigate the reality first.
The 2011 Verizon Data Breach Report indicates that 83% of all victims surveyed were felled by opportunistic attacks. These victims had publicly vulnerable computers accessible to the internet, fell victim to a mass phishing or drive-by-download attack, or had services with weak or default passwords. The remaining 17% were targeted. These victims possessed enough valuable data that it was worth finding a unique vulnerability in order to gain access to said data. Whether it was a human- or technology-based vulnerability, finding it took significantly more time, money and energy to uncover so the reward had to justify the cost.
Which category does your company fall into? If you don't have an IT staff, or one that keeps abreast of the latest cyber threats, and you don't have a lot of readily monitizable data, you probably fall into the opportunistic category. Hiring a Managed Security Service Provider to keep watch over your IT and data is probably a good idea. However, if you possess lots of PCI, PII, PHI, or intellectual property, your company falls into the targeted category and should be investing a considerable amount of money and human resources in security.
The vast majority of companies are somewhere between these two points. They are able to do basic security, but what they are protecting is not so valuable that legions of hackers are trying to break in. It's these companies that should spend the most time assessing the additional risks of using cloud services.
A recent IEEE article found that "the majority of the cloud service providers felt that security wasn't really their domain but that of their customers." That's not to say they aren't providing any security at all, just that it's not their focus. When you look at the fierce competition in this space, can you blame them? What's worse, even the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) doesn't think cloud providers should be responsible for securing the data they possess. In fact, their definition of "cloud" seems to be in stark contrast to security. They use words like "convenient", "on-demand", "shared", and "minimal management effort&

Vortex Street off Revillagigedo Archipelago, North Pacific (Afternoon Overpass)
April 5, 2013
A braid of eddies behind the Revillagigedo Archipelago in the North Pacific have created the fanciful swirls in the clouds seen in these Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images, acquired by the Terra (morning) and Aqua (afternoon) satellites on May 13, 2004. The eddies form as air moving near the surface of the ocean is forced up and around the islands. The pattern became more distinct through the day, with the afternoon image showing a much clearer vortex street. Credit: Jacques Descloitres, MODIS Rapid Response Team, NASA/GSFC

No. 14 Butler loses Clarke, beats Dayton 79-73
DAYTON, Ohio Leading scorer Rotnei Clarke fell head-first into the backboard support, then rolled on his back and lay there dazed. He didn't even try to get up.
How bad was it? Wide-eyed Butler teammates gathered around and wondered.
"At that point, it's not about basketball anymore," senior center Andrew Smith said.
Turns out that it wasn't as bad as initially feared - only a sprained neck - but it's still a significant setback for No. 14 Butler. The Bulldogs pulled through without their leading scorer on Saturday, using their depth to beat Dayton 79-73 for their 11th straight win. Roosevelt Jones scored 16 points, helping Butler (14-2, 2-0 Atlantic 10) extend its best start in four years.
They came away feeling fortunate that Clarke didn't get hurt worse. He hit the bottom part of the padded backboard support after he was fouled while trying for a fast-break layup at 8:13 of the first half, his head and left shoulder taking the brunt of the collision.
At first, he lost sensation in his arms and legs.
"He said he couldn't feel anything," Jones said.
He was able to move his arms and legs while trainer Ryan Galloy checked him out on the court. A padded back brace was brought out, and Clarke was taken off the court on a stretcher, giving the thumbs-up sign. He was taken to a nearby hospital for precautionary tests that were negative.
Clarke was later released from the hospital and returned to Indianapolis with his teammates, the Bulldogs said in a statement. Galloy said Clarke would have an MRI later Saturday, and after learning the results, the Bulldogs would have a better idea of when Clarke might return to the court.
"I feel blessed to be walking," Clarke said. "When I hit my head, I rolled over and I couldn't feel anything from my neck down. That's what scared me the most. My body was just tingling. By the time Ryan got out there, I started getting some feeling in my hands, and after awhile, I was fine in my legs. I'm still sore in my shoulders, and I've got a bad headache."
It's unclear how long the Bulldogs will miss Clarke, who averages 17 points per game.
The Bulldogs' defense and depth pulled them through against Dayton (10-6, 0-2), which has lost four of its last six and fell to 7-3 on its home court. Dyshawn Pierre and Vee Sanford scored 14 apiece for the Flyers.
It was one of Butler's grittiest wins during the streak, which includes away-from-home victories over then-No. 1 Indiana, Northwestern and Vanderbilt. The Bulldogs are off to their best start since they won 19 of their first 20 games during the 2008-09 season.
The Bulldogs put together a nine-point run around Clarke's injury to take the lead for good.
Clarke stole the ball from Matt Derenbecker and was going up for a layup when Derenbecker fouled him hard, sending his head and left shoulder into the padded base of the backboard support. Clarke lay on his back for several minutes while he was examined.

"Absolutely," Steve Martin says, sitting at a small cocktail table inside the Los Angeles music and comedy club Largo. Though it's been more than sixty years since his family moved from Waco to Hollywood, Martin considers himself a Texan. It's the first thing I asked. But the terse, one-word reply and what felt like a quick flash of stink eye made me think I might have opened with a dumb question. It's easy to develop an inferiority complex around Martin. He's an iconic multi-hyphenate: a comedian-actor-author-playwright and a formidable banjo player who in recent years has been embraced by the acoustic music world's A-list. As it turns out, he knows his Texana too: he speaks knowledgeably about the state's pecan production, Austin's reputation for live music, and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art's collection of Western paintings.
Less surprisingly, Edie Brickell also considers herself a Texan. She lives in Connecticut these days, but she was born in Oak Cliff, and in the late eighties she and the New Bohemians established Dallas's Deep Ellum as the country's most-talked-about post-Athens, pre-Seattle music scene. She too finds Steve Martin a little intimidating. The pair's forthcoming album, Love Has Come for You (Rounder Records), was actually born out of that intimidation. The two musicians have been casually acquainted for a long time, through Brickell's husband, the legendary singer-songwriter Paul Simon. Nearly three years ago, after they bumped into each other at a New York party, Martin asked Brickell to pen lyrics for a banjo piece he'd written. He played it for her live, and Brickell instinctively did what she's done for years: on the very first listen, she hummed and mumbled gibberish, trying small phrases and random rhymes, feeling her way toward words that would eventually fit.
"He kept asking, 'Wait, what are you singing?' " Brickell says. "I'm used to just singing until a song evolves, but I was so intimidated by his intelligence that I kept thinking, 'What if he thinks what I'm singing is stupid?' So I mumbled a lot. And ultimately I asked him if I could just record it on my own and send it back to him."
After Brickell sent him her initial song—"Sun's Gonna Shine"—the pair worked up another dozen tunes via email. Martin would write a banjo melody and send a recording of it to Brickell, who would write lyrics, sing them, and send the MP3 back. What seemed, even to them, like an odd pairing quickly led to places they couldn't have gone to alone. For Martin, it was time to test the musician's truism that the notes you don't play can be as powerful as the ones you do—even when it comes to the banjo, which usually encourages maximal, high-velocity picking. "I worked under the premise that a banjo piece could have a lot of air in it and still be very evocative," says Martin, who played the banjo in his seventies stand-up act and has released two albums based around the instrument, 2009's Grammy-winning The Crow: New Songs for the Five-String Banjo and 2011's follow-up, Rare Bird Alert. "Initially the banjo is about technique, but eventually you get to the place where you're comfortable enough to make music rather than show off."
Brickell, for her part, saw an opportunity to write in a more linear style than usual. The bulk of the songs on Love Has Come for You read like short stories, with rich characters and beginnings, middles, and ends. The album's very first lyric is "When you get to Asheville, send me an email," striking a quirky—and modern—tone for a very traditional-sounding record. Brickell says that while some of the subject matter is based on childhood memories of visiting her grandmother in Paris, Texas, a lot of the language stems from a newfound interest in classic country music. "The warm Texas sensibility is unmistakable in country music," Brickell says. "The way somebody like Bob Wills talked—'Roly-poly, daddy's little fatty'—always reminded me of home. The stories they tell, the little details, intrigued me. And I thought, 'Wouldn't it be fun to explore writing that way?' Then this happened."
Last summer, the pair gathered their MP3 demos and asked producer Peter Asher (James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt) to help them record an album, with assistance from Austin-based Grammy winner Esperanza Spalding, Nickel Creek alumni Sara and Sean Watkins, and his touring band the Steep Canyon Rangers. And though the songs aren't particularly funny, the 25-plus live shows Martin and Brickell have planned for the spring and summer will prolong the most significant by-product of Martin's late-blooming music career: his return to live comedy three decades after he abandoned the form to focus on movies.
"We do a funny show," says Martin, who has grown comfortable enough with the comedic interludes and interplay with his band that he's recently begun billing the performances as "music and comedy." "As a comedian, there's a freedom the music provides: you do three minutes of comedy and then you play a song. You're not out there on the hook all the time. In comedy, you're always two minutes ahead of yourself. It's 'What's next? What's next? What's next?' With music, you're always in the moment."
Martin certainly doesn't always feel the need to be funny (as the hour I spent talking with him certainly bore out). "I've been doing things with a bit of emotion in them for a while now," he says. "I'm known for more than just what I did in 1976. And what I did in 1976 wasn't sustainable. It takes a kind of energy that would have become fake energy over time. You just can't act like that when you're older. It would be fake and look fake."
Brickell also knows what it's like to be judged by a first chapter: she was just twenty when "What I Am" conquered pop radio in 1989. After two albums, the New Bohemians parted ways in 1991, largely because Brickell wasn't having fun. She felt lonely on

Classic British science fiction comic strip, created by Frank Hampson in the ''Eagle'' comic in 1950. Colonel Dan Dare of the Interplanet Space Fleet and his band of companions would explore other planets and defend the Earth from a variety of colourful alien threats, including arch-enemy the Mekon. The strip was known for the high quality of its artwork and its long, complex storylines, which could run for over a year of weekly two-page episodes.
The original strip ran from 1950 to 1965, with a number of format changes and a general decline in quality in the last few years. It has been revived several times, often with wildly different versions of the character: in ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'' (1977-1979), in the ''New Eagle'' (1982-early 1990s) and, most recently, in a limited series written by Creator/GarthEnnis.
* AcePilot: Dan.
* AerialCanyonChase: {{Subverted}} during the 'All Treens Must Die' storyline. After being released from his imprisonment for genocide as Earth, now with its defences offline, came under a surprise assault from the Mekon's invasion force, in a last, desperate bid to do something, Dan and his crew were bunged into the ''Anastasia'' and told to do whatever they could. When one enemy fighter launched a missile on their tail, Dan tried to use the local canyon to escape it. Unfortunately, the missile was just as good, and his attempts to get back out of the canyon were thwarted by fighter wings at a higher altitude keeping them pinned down. With a mountain looming up ahead, Dan tried pulling straight up anyway, noted the missile was still unfazed, and just turned to his crew and apologised. Annie promptly took the missile up the tailpipe.
* AFatherToHisMen: Sir Hubert, as Dan explicitly pointed out to some politicians who wanted to destroy a space station he was on at the time. Dan himself was more of a Brother to his Men.
* AnimatedAdaptation: There was a CGI ''Dan Dare'' cartoon at the TurnOfTheMillennium.
* AsYouKnow: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in an early strip:
-->'''Dan:''' The impulse waves are broadcast into space from stations on the Earth, Moon and Mars, picked up by the ships and stored in Impulse Cylinders like a battery stores electricity. Then the waves are fed to the engines as required - it saves carrying tons of fuel - right?
-->'''Hubert:''' Yes Dan and C-A-T spells cat. What's the point of this elementary lesson?
* CliffHanger: Every episode. Sometimes involving actual cliffs.
* CoolChair: The Mekon sits on a hovering chair. In some stories it also has defensive shields or other gadgets.
* CoolStarship: The ''Anastasia'', a unique combination of human and alien technology.
* ColonelBadass: Colonel Dan Dare.
* DistinguishedGentlemansPipe: Dare was sometimes seen smoking a pipe, perhaps as a {{Shout Out}} to the pipe-smoking RAF officers of the Second World War on whom the character was based.
* FakeDefector: For some reason, Dan's general disapproval of lying doesn't extend to opposing this, and he fully supports Steve Valiant and Digby on the separate occasions when they pull this trick on the Mekon.
* FashionsNeverChange: A lot of the main cast wear military uniforms, but everyone else dresses like it's the 1950s.
* FasterThanLightTravel: Gradually introduced during the initial run. The first few stories are [[InterplanetaryVoyage set in our solar system]]. The first faster-than-light trip turns out to be a slower-than-light ship that put the crew into suspended animation for most of the voyage. The development of real FTL travel was a plot point in a later story, and it eventually [[CasualInterstellarTravel became commonplace]].
* {{Fighting Irish}}: Perhaps not a perfect example of the trope, but Lex O'Malley was never one to turn down a scrap. And had the nose to prove it.
* {{Heavyworlder}}: The gravity on Venus is approximately 90% of that on Earth, giving every human a small degree of superstrength while on the planet. They're not kryptonians, but it does give them a bit of an edge.
* HeelFaceTurn: Dan fairly often persuaded a member of a villain race to change sides, the prime example being Sondar.
* HeroicLineage: The Dan who appeared in the 1980s strips was a great-grandson of the Dan from the 1950s strips.
* HonorBeforeReason: Dan has a rigid code of honour that the Mekon tries to exploit.
* HordeOfAlienLocusts: The story 'The Red Moon Mystery' featured "space bees" that would strip planets of organic life.
* InterplanetaryVoyage: In the first few years the stories were set entirely in the solar system.
* IWantMyJetpack: The strip's 1990s have hotels on Mars and everyday gadgets including personal helicopter backpacks.
* JokerImmunity: The Mekon almost always gets away. On the rare occasions he doesn't, the heroes capture him and put him in prison, from which he eventually escapes. Averted in the case of every ''other'' villain, who tend to be around for one story and die at the end of it.
* MyBrainIsBig: The Mekon.
* {{Nephewism}}: Digby was raised by his Aunt Anastasia. Similarly, the only member of Dan's family we meet is Uncle Ivor.
* OldSchoolDogfight: Space battles are depected a lot like World War II air combat.
* OfficerAndAGentleman: Pretty much everyone, but especially Dan.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Prof. Peabody is an expert in whatever science the story requires.
* PragmaticAdaptation: Given that Creator/GarthEnnis ''isn't'' WarrenEllis, he was unable to fill the 2008 limited series with scads of TechnologyPorn. Instead, he focused on what he ''is'' good at - characterization, particularly that of the half-broken yet unrepentantly idealistic Dare.
-->'''Prime Minister''': He has all this wonderful memorabilia, it really is quite charming... What I can't understand is why he said yes so readily; he quite obviously despises all that I stand for, but there he is, off to fight for king and country...\\
'''Jocelyn Peabody''': I imagine he considers it his duty... Dan was dedicated to the International Space Fleet. He saw it as everything that was best about us: Mankind United, no more wars on Earth. But when all's said and done, he's still an Englishman. When his country's threatened, he'll answer the call.
* PseudoCrisis: With a cliffhanger every two pages, some of them are bound to be less than essential to the plot.
* RaygunGothic
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: The Mekon's race, Treens, are reptilian humanoids.
* SchematizedProp: The strip would sometimes include cutaway technical drawings of the spaceships and other tech.
* SeadogBeard: Lex O'Malley certainly has one.
* ShinyLookingSpaceships: The ships weren't usually shiny as such, but were almost always brightly coloured. (The spaceship interiors, on the other hand, were often cramped and utilitarian.)
* ShoutOut: The comic strip is referenced in Music/PinkFloyd's ''Music/ThePiperAtTheGatesOfDawn''
--> ''Stairway scare, Dan Dare, who's there?''
* {{Sidekick}}: Albert Fitzwilliam Digby.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Prof. Peabody is pretty much the only female character.
* SpaceClothes: Averted in the case of humans, who wear 1950s clothes even while walking around their futuristic cities. The aliens wear classic Space Clothes, though.
* SpaceDoesNotWorkThatWay: The strip made some effort to get the science right, but there were some errors, such as spacesuits hanging and folding in a way that looks like they are not pressurized (because they were drawn from real-life models wearing overalls), and spaceships manouevring like aeroplanes.
* TheSpock: Sondar, whose species (Treens) have suppresed all emotion.
* SpockSpeak: Sondar.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: The telesender (which needed a machine at both ends).
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: In the short Eagle Annual stories, Dan often found himself up against a skinny/fat pair of crooks called Starbuck and Vulcani (who appeared to have wandered in off the set of fellow Eagle strip [=PC49=]).
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The first story was set in the then-distant 1990s.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Space-Fleet pistols fired non-lethal, paralysing gas, and Dan was always keen to find non-violent solutions to conflicts. Thrown out the window in the Ennis series, where the Royal Navy (who have taken over Space-Fleet's duties) pack futuristic assault rifles, and Dan apparently lethally wounds the Mekon in their climactic battle with what looks like a katana.
* TrueCompanions: The regular cast changed with each story, but the members would always be unfailingly loyal to one another.
* WillNotTellALie: Part of Dan's rigid (even by 1950s standards) code of honour. Some other characters are more flexible.
* {{Zeerust}}

(By Balaseshan) Quidel Corp. (NASDAQ: QDEL), a provider of rapid diagnostic testing solutions, said it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its AmpliVue hand-held molecular diagnostic test for clostridium difficile.
The company has received 510(k) clearance from FDA for the sale of Quidel's non-instrumented molecular diagnostic test -- the AmpliVue C. difficile Assay -- for the detection of toxigenic clostridium difficile bacterial DNA.
Detection of the pathogen is achieved using a hand-held, fully contained cassette that combines isothermal Helicase Dependent Amplification (HDA) with its lateral flow detection technology. The C. difficile assay is Quidel's first assay in the hand-held AmpliVue format, and is now available for sale in the U.S. and Europe.
[Related -Behind My Bullish Outlook For BP In 2013]
C. difficile infection is frequently associated with antibiotic therapy and prolonged hospital stays. Typical symptoms include nausea, fever, watery diarrhea and abdominal pain due to inflammation of the colon.
Clostridium difficile bacterial infections can be life threatening, especially for the elderly, for the immunocompromised, and for patients on a prolonged antibiotic regimen.
Traditional methods for diagnosing C. difficile infections, such as glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) or toxin antigen tests, can lack sensitivity and increase lab costs due to additional confirmation testing.
In addition to significant technical expertise, cytotoxicity assays and toxigenic culture require 24-48 hours and 3-5 days, respectively, before reliable results can be obtained.
[Related -Quidel (QDEL) Receives CE Mark For Sofia RSV Fluorescent Immunoassay Test]
The AmpliVue C. difficile Assay will now enable laboratories to offer a fast and sensitive result generated by molecular methods using actual kit components, without the need to purchase and maintain expensive capital equipment. The assay also requires no upfront nucleic acid extraction step.
QDEL is trading up 1.82% at $18.50 on Monday. The stock has been trading between $14.08 and $19.37 for the past 52 weeks.

Padres Pregame: Kotsay placed on disabled list before Angels game (starting lineups)
Given the way the season is going, you knew it was inevitable.
When Mark Kotsay was listed as day-to-day with a back issue earlier in the week, the Padres said the disabled list didn't look like a possibility.
Kotsay went on the disabled list Saturday.
The outfielder became the 13th player currently on the disabled list with he and right-handed start pitcher Tim Stauffer on the list for the second time.
Outfielder Blake Tekotte was summoned from Triple-A Tucson early Saturday to take Kotsay's spot on the active roster. Tekotte is not expected to arrive until mid-game.
"Mark had a setback Friday in fielding drills," said Padres manager Bud Black Saturday afternoon as the Padres prepared to face the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the second game of a three-game interleague series at Petco Park (7:05 p.m.; TV: Fox Sports San Diego; Radio: 1090-AM).
Saturday's crowd is expected to be one of the largest of the season at Petco Park
The Padres dropped Friday night's series opener 7-2.
The starting pitcher for the Padres Saturday night will be left-hander Eric Stults, who was claimed off waivers from the Chicago White Sox on Thursday.
Stults will be starting in Stauffer's scheduled slot and will be the ninth starting pitcher used by the Padres in the season's first 40 games.
ANGELS (18-22) at PADRES (14-26)
Time: 7:05 p.m. Game: 2 of 3
TV: Fox Sports San Diego

Haren vs. the Padres: 5-2 career, 3.34 ERA in 14 games (13 starts)
Haren at Petco Park: 2-1 career, 3.42 ERA in eight games (seven starts)
Haren, 31, is 0-3 with a 6.48 ERA over his last three starts. The Angels have been shut out in each of those games. His run support figure on the season is 2.00. The 6-foot-5, 215-pound Haren has a 108-88 career record with a 3.61 ERA in 274 games (264 starts). He was 16-10 for the Angels last season with a 3.17 ERA in 35 games (34 starts).

Padres LHP Eric Stults (Padres debut)
Stults vs. the Angels: First meeting
Stults at Petco Park: First appearance
Stults, 32, was claimed by the Padres off waivers from the Chicago White Sox on Thursday and will be starting in the scheduled slot of Tim Stauffer, who went back on the disabled list Friday with a recurring elbow strain. Stults has a 8-10 career record with a 4.84 ERA in 43 games (25 starts) and has allowed 173 hits over 163 2/3 major league innings. Stults has pitched 922 1/3 innings in the minors plus one season in Japan. He was 1-1 with a 2.20 ERA in five starts for Triple-A Charlotte when he was claimed by the Padres.
