MLB: Streaks, Tips, Notes
Atlanta Braves at Washington Nationals
Nationals sweeping a three game set at NY Mets return to Washington for their home opener. A key to baseball handicapping is the ability to unearth favorable baseball betting conditions among a sea of baseball betting stats. To that end, Washington has thrived when in this situation. The Nationals winning the past two season home openers are on a 18-9 stretch opening a series, 8-3 streak at home in game-one off a road swing, 21-13 at home off a solid hitting performance (=>10 hits) the previous game, 16-3 last nineteen against a division opponent.
Re: MLB Betting News and Notes Friday, April 4
MLB Odds and Picks
By: Micah Roberts
LAS VEGAS -- The St. Louis Cardinals' reward for winning the NL Central last season was getting the first nine games of their 2014 schedule against division foes that also made the playoffs. They took two out of three at Cincinnati, now they go to Pittsburgh for a three-game weekend set and then they go home for three more against the Reds. Fortunately for St. Louis, they at least get to take a deep breath against the Cubs for three games next weekend.
The last time we saw the Pirates and Cardinals meet, it was in the NLDS, where St. Louis came back from a 2-1 deficit to win the series in five games. The two teams met 24 times last season, winning 12 games each, but the Bucs had an 8-4 edge at PNC Park.
Gerrit Cole is a -115 favorite over Shelby Miller with a total set at 7 (UNDER -120). Both starters had outstanding rookie campaigns in 2013, but it was Cole who got to show his stuff in the playoffs, winning Game 2 of the NLDS and then losing the clinching Game 5 to Adam Wainwright.
Miller, on the other hand, was put out to pasture. He made one postseason appearance among 17 Cardinals games, an eighth-inning relief appearance against the Bucs in Game 2, when the one hit he allowed was a solo home run to Starling Marte.
While neither pitcher had a terrific spring, the Bucs handled Miller rather easily last season, winning all four starts against him – two in April and two in August – by a combined score of 24-1. Cole didn't face the Cardinals in the regular season, but in 11 innings over two starts in the playoffs, he allowed only five hits and three earned runs.
The Pirates are coming off a loss, but took two of three from Cubs in the series opener. However, they didn't do much hitting and have an MLB-worst .175 batting average. The Cardinals, who hit .269 as a team last season, aren't hitting much better than Pittsburgh with a .194 average thus far.
We're going to ride with Cole tonight in the series opener, and we also recommend taking the Pirates with the series price at -115. Francisco Liriano, the Cardinal-killer who went 3-0 against them last season, faces Joe Kelly Saturday, and Edinson Volquez makes his Bucs debut against Wainwright Sunday. Look for Pittsburgh to take the first two games.
Welcome to the Big Leagues, Mr. Tanaka
Everyone has some reservations about Masahiro Tanaka, but anyone that can go 24-0 with 1.27 ERA in any league, like Tanaka did in Japan last season, should be given the benefit of the doubt. That's 24-0! During spring, Tanaka looked every bit as good as advertised, going 2-0 with a 2.14 ERA through 21 innings in five games, striking out 26 while walking only three. It's only spring, but most of the batters he faced were MLB hitters.
While Tanaka is almost out of our price range at -138, another reason to support him is because the Blue Jays are sending Dustin McGowan to the mound to make his first start since 2011. He's kind of a default starter with J.A. Happ losing the No. 5 spot in the rotation due to a poor spring. McGowan didn't even get any starts during the spring, pitching in only seven innings during four games and allowing three runs.
The Yankees lost two of three at Houston to open the season, scoring only seven runs combined. Jacoby Ellsbury and Alfonso Soriano are still looking for their first hits, but it's a good bet that McGowan will give them and the rest of the New York lineup some softballs to tee up. So while Tanaka should be counted on to pitch well, the real reason for feeling comfortable laying -138 tonight is McGowan.
Vogelsong inspires runs
The Giants' hitters have been tearing the cover off the ball, scoring 24 wins while taking three of four at Arizona. They'll have their work cut out for them today against Hyun-Jin Ryu, though, who is making his third regular-season start and has yet to allow a run in 12 innings.
The sole reason for suggesting this day game goes OVER the total is because Ryan Vogelsong is pitching and his woes from 2013 haven't been fixed. During spring, he allowed 22 runs in 19 innings of work. Look for the Dodgers to unload on him in their home opener, and Ryu might even give up a couple himself.
Angels repeat?
Last season, the Astros won only 51 games, but 10 of them came against the Angels. Houston was 10-9 against the Angels last season, one of three teams they actually had a winning record against. We're not bold enough to side with Houston at +138 over the winless Angels in this spot, but it's something to seriously think about.
Friday selections:
Pirates (Cole) -115 vs. Cardinals
Yankees (Tanaka) -138 at Blue Jays
Giants/Dodgers OVER 7.5 (+105)
Marlins (Koehler) +103 vs. Padres
Re: MLB Betting News and Notes Friday, April 4
NL Central Showdown
By Sportsbook.ag
St. Louis Cardinals (2-1) at Pittsburgh Pirates (2-1)
Sportsbook.ag Line: Pittsburgh -115, St. Louis +105, Total: 7
The top two teams from the NL Central last season, the Cardinals and Pirates, meet up for the first time this year when they begin a three-game series on Friday night at PNC Park.
Reigning National League champion St. Louis was able to win its first series of the 2014 season by taking 2-of-3 games in Cincinnati, with each contest being decided by just one run. After splitting a pair of 1-0 decisions, the bats came alive in Thursday's rubber match as the Redbirds offense pounded out 11 hits, including five for extra bases. Pittsburgh also won 2-of-3 games to open its season against the Cubs, with each of those contests also being decided by just one run. The Pirates gave their fans some exciting baseball with a consecutive walk-off wins in extra innings to start the 2014 campaign before falling 3-2 on Thursday night.
Two talented 23-year-olds will get the call for this game as RHP Shelby Miller (15-9, 3.06 ERA in 2013) gets the start for St. Louis and RHP Gerrit Cole (10-7, 3.22 ERA in 2013) will take the mound for Pittsburgh. Even though the Cardinals have been the much better team over the previous two seasons, the Pirates have a slight 20-19 edge in this matchup over that time, and are even stronger when playing at home (11-7). Bettors should take notice that St. Louis is 85-46 (65%) facing a right-handed starter over the past two seasons, while Pittsburgh is an impressive 52-30 (63%) in the first half of the season since the start of 2013.
Shelby Miller is yet another player to come out of the Cardinals farm system and make an immediate impact with the team. In his first full season with the club in 2013, he was able to pitch 173.1 innings, striking out 169 batters (8.8 K/9) and winning 15 games in 31 starts. He did not look as great in 13.2 Spring Training innings though, pitching to a 5.93 ERA and allowing three homers, but he still struck out 13 batters. Miller has also pitched very poorly in this divisional matchup, going up against the Pirates four times, and coming away with a loss in each game. He's compiled a 5.32 ERA (1.73 WHIP) over those starts and has allowed two home runs in each of the past three outings. Two of those long balls have come off the bat of C Russell Martin (3-for-7, 2 RBI) while both OF Andrew McCutchen (3-for-9) and OF Starling Marte (3-for-10, 2 XBH) have had success as well.
Big-bopper 3B Pedro Alvarez has gone only 1-for-10 against Miller, but the one hit left the park. St. Louis' bullpen pitched 7.2 innings in its first series, allowing four runs (4.70 ERA) and striking out seven batters. Closer Trevor Rosenthal (0.00 ERA, 2 saves) has pitched two perfect innings for his first two saves of the season while striking out three batters.
Gerrit Cole figures to be a fixture in the Pirates' rotation for plenty of years to come and started 19 games in his rookie campaign after a midseason call-up last year. He has impeccable control for a young pitcher, giving up just 2.2 walks per nine innings while allowing only 0.54 HR/9 in his 117.1 IP last season. Although the Cardinals were the top team in the NL last season, Cole had no trouble when facing them over two playoff games, going 1-1 in two starts with a 2.45 ERA (0.64 WHIP) and 10 strikeouts in 11 innings.
C Yadier Molina (2-for-6, 1 HR, 2 walks) did well against Cole in his limited at-bats while 2B Matt Carpenter (0-for-7) was completely fooled by the young righty. Pittsburgh has already had to use its bullpen heavily, throwing 17 innings over the first three games while allowing just three runs (1.59 ERA). Veteran Jason Grilli saved 33-of-35 games last season (94.3%), but he has already blown his one save opportunity this season. Grilli gave up three hits and a run with a one-run lead on Wednesday night, a game which was not settled until the 16th inning.

Hmm! I own a Panny DVDR which is now 3 years old and that just works and always has, never known a recording failure in all that time. It is a rarity for my Sky+HD to miss a recording too. I want a set and forget product not one where you have to add padding to recordings. A good efficient EPG. should take care of this.

Obama vows job creation without adding to deficit
"He's gotten all the revenue he's going to get," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said. "Been there, done that."
Still, buoyed by his re-election, the president and his top aides are confident that Americans back their vision for the economy. Immediately following his speech, Obama was to hold a conference call with supporters to urge them to pressure lawmakers to back his agenda. He'll also seek to rally public support with trips this week to North Carolina, Georgia and Illinois.
Though Obama was devoting less time to foreign policy in this year's speech, he was to announce that 34,000 U.S. troops - about half the size of the American force - would leave Afghanistan within a year. The drawdown announcement has been highly anticipated and puts the nation on pace to formally finish the protracted war by the end of 2014.
And he was expected to sharply rebuke North Korea for defying the international community and launching a nuclear test hours before Obama's remarks. The White House said Obama would make the case that the impoverished nation's nuclear program has only further isolated it from the international community. North Korea said Tuesday that it successfully detonated a nuclear device in defiance of U.N. warnings.
Also Tuesday night:
- The president was to press Congress to overhaul immigration laws and tackle climate change.
- His wish-list was to include expanding early childhood education and making it easier for voters to cast ballots in elections.
- Obama was expected to make an impassioned plea for stricter gun laws, including universal background checks and a ban on assault weapons.
First lady Michelle Obama was to sit with the parents of a Chicago teenager shot and killed just days after she performed at the president's inauguration. Twenty-two House members have invited people affected by gun violence, according to Rep. Jim Langevin, D-R.I., who helped with the effort. And Republican Rep. Steve Stockman of Texas said he had invited rocker Ted Nugent, a long-time gun control opponent who last year said he would end up "dead or in jail" if Obama won re-election.
Associated Press writers Jim Kuhnhenn and Josh Lederman contributed to this report.

Close to the Heel (edition 2012)
by Norah McClintock
Work details
Close to the Heel by Norah McClintock
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is the third book I've read in this series which purports that the books may be read in any order. So far, I completely agree with that premise and am enjoying picking out books in my own order. I picked this book next because the previous two books had mentioned this seventh grandson that no one knew and they had been asked to get in touch with him but they didn't. Also, I have not read this author before, but I have always wanted to as she is an award-winning Canadian author of YA mystery/thrillers. I was hooked with the first chapter which uses the device of starting at the end where the main character is in a life and death situation. Then the story starts from the beginning to eventually tell us how he ended up there. I loved the main character, Rennie and really enjoyed the Iceland setting. I haven't read many books set in that country that aren't adult thrillers. The book was quite intense and starts off mysterious almost from the beginning as Rennie stumbles upon both a mysterious death and disappearance. This book doesn't really concentrate on the grandfather as the other two did. His story is there but it's just in the background; the main focus here are the crimes and Rennie's relationship with his dad. The mystery was good quality; I never know what to expect from a YA mystery since I read so many adult thrillers. However I was caught up in the story and found myself figuring out the mystery only steps ahead of Rennie, including the twist ending ... until the author sprung a second twist that threw Rennie (and me!) for a loop. I love a surprise like that; it makes for a great mystery!
No other grandsons were mentioned in this book at all so my next pick in the series is really going to be up to topic or author preference.
Better synopsis have been written, so I won't go into detail, but I will say that I really enjoyed the fast paced adventure in Close to the Heel. I feel McClintock is an excellent writer of young adult mysteries and I will certainly be passing this along to my younger siblings to read. I think it can be not quite as appealing to people who enjoy more in-depth, world building storytelling, but that isn't a common theme in young adult fiction anyway so don't be surprised that you won't find it here. Some of the plot lines are a bit "out there" but I am all about suspension of disbelief when I read so that isn't an issue for me personally.

At the request of his late grandfather, Rennie goes to Iceland to right an old wrong, and gets drawn into investigating a murder.

The 15th rabid bat from Los Angeles County turned up in late July, in Santa Clarita.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
Roughly half of the county's rabies cases of 2014 – seven of 15, all in bats – have been reported in the Santa Clarita Valley.
The latest one was found outside of a home in Canyon Country.
County health officials are at a loss to explain the rise in rabies cases over the past four years. Since such statistics were first collected in the early 1960s, eight to 10 cases per year in L.A. County were considered "normal." Lately it's been closer to 40.
Related: Animal Control, Public Health Officials Report Another Rabid Bat
Fewer than 1 percent of all bats have rabies, but if you see one floundering around on the ground, or bothering the family dog or its food dish, or dead, call Animal Control at 661-257-3191. Don't touch it.
At least we don't have West Nile Virus. Yet. It's coming. Every summer it starts south of us and creeps northward. This week it reached Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Northridge and North Hills, so it's almost here.
WNV is borne by mosquitoes. We'd advise you to dump out your standing water, where they breed, but you probably don't have any water.

So I'm feeling confused at my DH at the moment, ever since he's deployed he doesn't want to help me financially with LO what-so-ever. Me & LO live with my mom, she was genuinely nice enough to let me live with her when I was going to school so I didn't have to worry about going to school/working/ & taking care of LO. So in return I help her pay for bills & food since she only works part time. I also have to pay Noah's grand mom $20 a day for watching Noah while I work, & besides that I also take care of Noah's needs financially, get gas for the car, pay my school loan, pay for phone bill etc.. I only work 68 hrs. bi weekly which a lot of you know money does go fast. I expect DH to at least help me out with Noah. He gave me a card to use whenever I needed something for Noah. At first he questioned me whenever I use the card "What are you going to buy?" "How much does that cost with tax" etc. Let me say I hate being questioned as if I'm a money hungry person which I'm not. Well now it's to the point where he don't want me using the card at all because he thinks I'm going to spend all the money on myself. I don't know why he thinks of me this way! It pisses me off especially since before he deployed he wasn't working & not only did I help my mom, get Noah's needs, & pay my tiny bills I also helped him out too! He says he doesn't want me to spend the money because its for our future (his bisnuess) & I do understand that but were suppose to be a team & help each other out. I'm so confused, I'm at the point where I put his card in a safe place, out of sight & I'm just gonna try my best to do everything with my own money. I have no problem with doing it by myself I'm more bothered by the fact that my own husband can't trust me. It hurts. Do you think I'm wrong for feeling this way or do you think he's in the wrong?
His money or our money?
Married; Momma to one that runs (2.14.2011) & one that's swimming (12.3.2015)
Um you're married, so technically by law you two share the bank accounts. You need to have a talk with him as soon as you're able to because if he's going to control the money you use now, you're going to run into a lot of problems later on.
Star - Mum to Abbey Road. Diagnosed with ADHD 10/21/13. ADHD does not define her, but it is a part of her definition.
You better hold on to something, this is probably some rocket surgery level stuff about to go down.
FUCK that. My dh has been deployed twice, and both times I worked full time, but if he ever, EVER questioned me on OUR money, he would be in deep shit. And depending on where he is deployed, he could be making a shit load of money. This topic reallyyyy pisses me off.
It honestly sounds like he is developing trust issues with you. Since you can't sit down face to face to talk about his issues, I would give him the ultimatum of not questioning your financial decisions while being the one caring for the ones he left behind, or he can sign the separation papers that you can fax to him.
I'm sure others will completely disagree with me that a deployed service member shouldn't face ultimatums, but if a husband can't trust his wife to care for their home and money then he shouldn't be married. Just my thoughts on this topic.
K&T est '08 T-4/10 P-3/12
uıds pɐǝɥ ʎɯ ǝʞɐɯ oʍʇ ǝsǝɥʇ
Okay let me just say this first bc I see this all the time and people get confused. By law you do NOT share a bank account, unless he put you as a signer on the account. No matter, husband or not, if you are not a signer no bank will let you take money out the account. Now if you are a signer then yes that money is as much yours as it is his. Just keep in mind, having card and knowing the pin doesnt mean you have full acess to the account the way a legal signer does.
Anywho just wanted to say that bc I always see people saying "You are the wife/husband its your money too legaly" and yeah it is kinda but once it hits an account you arent on its going to be a pain to get it out kwim?
But yes that is a jerk move for him. Def you need to talk to him about this bc you guys are married. He should be taking care of you and his son and there shouldnt be a question about it.
[ This siggy has been deleted because it wasnt free to Chase The Morning ]
I would be pissed. Yes he is away serving his country, but you are here taking care of everything else.
Even if you wanted to spend some money on yourself, so what?! He is your husband and that is what he signed up for when he married you.
She's my kid. I'm her mom.
Soon to be big sister.
Tabby - that would be the case but he gave her access to the bank card. I'm not sure if she's named on the account or not.
Star - Mum to Abbey Road. Diagnosed with ADHD 10/21/13. ADHD does not define her, but it is a part of her definition.
Yes thats true. We always had people trying to claim fraud with their ex bc their ex had their card and knew their pin....there wasnt really much they/we could do about it.
OP, I think you need to check if you are a signer and if you arent then try to get on that account bc heaven forbid he loses his dang mind and he cancels your card, there would be no way to get what you need for your son with out taking him to court for Child support. :/ I ve seen it happen :(

(Not using that as legal commentary about the accounts.)

Yeah Im not saying she isnt entitled to the money. Im just saying she needs to make sure all the I's are dotted and T's crossed to keep it that way. kwim?

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
Grande Vista is a luxurious townhouse, situated at Carriage Point on the Reunion Resort & Clubs of Orlando. This three bedroom property has the benefit of an excellent view of the 17th Tee off of the golf course from the master bedroom and balcony. There is a superb swimming pool and 104º hot tub, only yards away from the property. Perfect for a vacation any time of year, furnished to the highest of standards, it is set within a secure, gated/manned Resort 10min from Disney, & close to the other major attractions. It is perfect for couples, families with children, small groups looking to play golf, or ideal for a romantic getaway on a luxury resort. This air-conditioned 3 bed, 2.5 bathroom home sleeps 6-8 with a master King bedroom with en suite bathroom and shower, a Queen bedroom & a Twin bedroom. There is also a double bed sofa in the lounge area. Each room has a ceiling fan and is equipped with a TV, with a DVD, DVDs and X box in the lounge. All linens/crockery/cutlery provided.
Golf: Golfing is available at nearby Champions Gate.
Excellent property in a peaceful location on what is a fantastic resort. Owners were quick and efficient with all communications. The property was exactly as described, it was clean - well maintained and I would certainly recommend to fellow travellers. The management company allowed a late check out on our final day (4pm) at no extra cost which was a great bonus as we were travelling home on a later flight.
Reunion is an amazing resort - it has all the facilities and more that you would want and more.
You dont have to be a golferto stay at reunion - after a day at parks/ shopping coming back to the pool area or a gentle walk around the main resort was heaven.
Maps may suggest that you are away from the hub of all the attractions - that is not he case. The location is 15 mins from Disney, 20 mins from Seaworld and 30 mins from Universal BUT what you get is peace perfect peace at the end of your long days with all facilities at your fingertipos.
Would we use again - absolutely.
Just one point - and it is so minor really but maybe some Coffee, sugar and milk in fridge and a couple of area magazines being to hand on arrival would help the first timers to area.
This was a 5 star holiday and I cant believe I am the first to review that this was the case.
Reunion is ideally placed close to the I 4 and only 10 mins from Disney World Resort. It has excellent facilities on-site. The heated pool with104º hot tub is less that 100yards from the home, making it very safe for small children. The water-park, club house and superb Reunion Grand hotel, with its excellent restaurants is within 3 mins drive.
Other Activities: Kids Crew available at resort.

Kaman K-225
The K-225 served as a prototype for the HTK, the first Kaman helicopter to be evaluated by the U.S. Navy. Kaman was the only U.S. company to mass produce helicopters that incorporated the intermeshing rotor system, a design which eliminated the need for an anti-torque tail rotor. This is one of the first designs used both in military and civilian applications. One K-225 was later re-engined with a gas turbine to become the world's first turbine-engine powered helicopter.
The Museum's K-225 was the fifth Kaman helicopter produced and is the company's oldest surviving aircraft.
Mike Reynolds of Candor, NC, informed the Museum that this helicopter was once owned by Lattie "Jack" Reynolds who had a cropdusting business in Candor. Mr. Reynolds located the picture at the left of Jack operating this aircraft at The Rankin Museum of American Heritage in Ellerbe, NC.

WELL-BEING; Drugs: More Important, More Costly
By JOHN A. CUTTER
Published: March 12, 2002
BROOKSVILLE, Fla.— TOM HOGAN Doc to a few old-timers -- stares down from his perch under a 20-foot-wide sign that says ''Prescriptions.'' For 47 years, Mr. Hogan, a pharmacist, has watched his customers approach the elevated work area in the back of his drugstore and knows most of their names and all their ailments.
The customers come for relief. Some need a prescription only for a temporary illness. But many use drugs every day, especially the older people who populate the retirement communities on the rolling countryside around this rural town of 7,300, which is 55 miles north of Tampa. These retirees need drugs for the chronic conditions that often come with age -- arthritis, hypertension, high cholesterol, hormone imbalances. For them, living without these medications could mean not living at all.
''So many people, especially seniors, need drugs for a good quality of life,'' said Mr. Hogan, 70, the owner of Hogan's Drug Store, which is located on a busy road near Brooksville's downtown. ''A prescription can allow a person who might be crippled for life to be mobile and healthier for a number of years.''
The importance of prescription drugs to older people is one of the most significant changes in medicine in recent decades. The drugs have allowed millions of people in their 60's, 70's and 80's to not only live longer but also to often stay out of hospitals and nursing homes.
When Medicare was created for the elderly in 1965, the biggest need for aging Americans was insurance coverage for hospital stays and doctor visits, not for drugs. But today more than 88 percent of the program's 42 million beneficiaries use prescription drugs, filling an average of about 20 prescriptions annually. Medicare does not pay for these medications unless someone is in a hospital, nursing home or living with special conditions like a terminal illness or certain cancers.
As drugs have become more important to the aging population, the costs have also soared. Meanwhile, Medicare managed care and other private insurance plans have cut drug benefits in the last few years, meaning that the average older person spends about $500 annually himself for medications, plus hundreds and even thousands more for private insurance policies to cover some of the cost of prescriptions.
The need for a Medicare drug benefit has drawn almost universal support, but not universal agreement on how or when to add coverage for prescriptions. And while the political debate in Washington drags on with little hope for action this year, the reality can be seen in thousands of pharmacies like Tom Hogan's, which serves a town and county where more than 30 percent of the population is 65 years or older. They are places where low-income retirees ration their health care by buying fewer drugs, where the middle class finds its savings squeezed by higher costs and where even people who are well off wonder if they are one illness away from a financial crisis.
Although Mr. Hogan rejects the popular image of financially strapped older people having to choose between buying groceries or prescriptions, he said he knows that the rising cost of medicine is hurting some customers.
''I find the hair rising straight up on the back of my own neck when I pay my wholesale drug bill twice a month,'' he said. ''Drug prices are very high. The government needs to solve the problem, especially for those people who are not covered by private insurance.''
Most older people have some form of private drug coverage or qualify for Medicaid, the government medical program for the poor. Studies generally show about 25 to 30 percent of Medicare beneficiaries -- more than 10 million persons -- have no drug coverage. Another 25 to 30 percent have coverage that some researchers call ''unreliable,'' like H.M.O.'s, which can raise co-payments, cap benefits each year or completely withdraw from a market.
Even people with private insurance find themselves paying hundreds of dollars a month for coverage. Derrill McAteer, a customer of Mr. Hogan's, pays more than $240 a month for a Medicare supplemental policy that only covers about 50 percent of his prescription costs.
In all, he said, he pays another $300 to $400 a month in drug co-payments and other medical costs for him and his wife. ''I feel lucky, because I can afford it,'' said Mr. McAteer, a retired businessman, cattle rancher and real estate developer. ''I know so many people who can't. It's terrible.''
To look at Mr. McAteer, who is also a former Navy pilot, is to wonder why he needs drugs at all. His trim physique, mighty handshake and confident voice make him seem years younger than 69.
''I was always active,'' he said. ''I still feel like I'm a cowboy out there with the cattle. I never thought it would happen to me. Well, I guess I thought it might happen in another 10 years when I was 80 or so.''
''It'' is the variety of ailments that have started in Mr. McAteer's retirement, all requiring regular medication. There is the enlarged prostate, high cholesterol, back pain from a car accident and aftereffects of heart bypass surgery in 1999.
''The problem is, we live longer than we used to,'' Mr. McAteer said as he held a small white bag of prostate pills one recent morning in Hogan's. ''I'll be fine as long as I don't get cancer.''

Special Correspondent
HYDERABAD: Government has agreed to suspend the tender process to give Tadicherla captive coal mine in Karimnagar district to private operators, according to Higher Education Minister D. Sridhar Babu.
Mr. Sridhar Babu who is Manthani MLA, MP G. Vivekanand, senior INTUC leader and MLC B. Venkat Rao met Chief Minister K. Rosaiah on Tuesday and said that coal mining tender should be given to the public sector Singareni Collieries Company Ltd, or it should be taken up as a joint venture with any other public sector company. The SCCL workers union leaders also opposed privatisation move, they said.
Mr. Vivekanand said that the MPs from Telangana had written to the Chief Minister and also Union Government against privatisation of Tadicherla coal mine in Karimnagar.
SCCL not involved
Mr. Venkat Rao said that Tadicherla was allotted as captive mine to AP Genco and the latter without involving SCCL, invited tenders from private companies for coal mining contract worth Rs.5,000 crore.
"We suggested to the Chief Minister that the contract should be given to SCCL by involving AP Genco as its joint venture partner. He agreed to consider our suggestion," he added.
Meanwhile Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) State Committee said the State Government's move to privatise Tadicherla coal mine would result in loss to both SCCL and AP Genco.
While Singareni company would incur Rs.1000 per tonne of coal mining, AP Genco would pay Rs.2,500 per tonne to the private player as per the tender agreement.
It alleged that corruption involving crores of rupees was behind the decision to give the contract to a private company and demanded that Tadicherla coal mining be entrusted to SCCL.

I Just Want To Say Thank You!
Posted 05 June 2012 - 04:00 PM
I just wanted to say a big thank you to iThemes for Backup Buddy. It has been a god send.
A few months ago hackers started an unrelenting hacking campaign on all my sites, and all of my client's sites - how or why I was targeted is completely unknown.
Whilst I've added additional security measures, I realised that if a site is hacked, I need to get it back up quickly, and so that is why I bought Backup Buddy.
Backup Buddy wasn't fully functional on my existing hosting, so I setup new hosting, and now it works brilliantly. I've set up backup schedules and it's great that the files can be sent to a remote destination. I breathe a sigh of relief when I get those emails telling me a scheduled backup has occurred.
The hack attacks are still ongoing. It's frustrating but I don't know what I'd do if there wasn't a product like Backup Buddy available. Great job and thank you!

If green is the new black then cardboard must be the new wood. There simply is no end to the number of cardboard products on the market – children's toys, art, wine racks, elegant furniture and even solar ovens. The great thing about cardboard is that it is usually made from recycled materials and has the added benefit of being 100% recyclable.
We caught up with Jimmy Chiang, founder and CEO of Way Basics, a cardboard furniture and storage company, to ask a few questions about an increasingly cardboard world.
Please tell us a bit of about your furniture line.
At Way Basics we take one of the most ancient and basic of resources (paper) and create sustainably viable options for eco modern storage and furniture. Our products are very versatile and can be used for basic storage, bookcases and shelving, anywhere in your life. They're great for home, office, dorm, garage, closet - you name it.
What makes your products green?
Our products are made out of 99% post-consumer recycled paper. We are using sources such as used office pack, cardboard boxes, newspaper or really any paper related item that can be recycled. We could even be using our own products at the end of their life span to produce new Way Basics products since they are 100% recyclable.
Is cardboard becoming more commonplace as a design material?
I think people are becoming more aware of the need to incorporate more recycled products into their lives. Not only is it the responsible choice to make as a consumer, but also people are realizing our resources are finite, so we really need to make an effort as a community to do all we can to preserve our culture and way of life.
What are the benefits of cardboard furniture?
The number one benefit that tops the list for cardboard furniture is the fact that it is recycled. Our product line drew its influences from cardboard, plywood, and particleboard to create a truly unique product. The essence of Way Basics, the zBoard, is 62% lighter than particleboard, but just as strong. Many people have heard of the toxic materials that go into particleboard products. Our zBoards do not contain these toxic materials that ultimately seep out of alternate products. So what we've done is take the light and recycled characteristics of cardboard and coupled that with the strength of particleboard to make a unique product.
Is it easy to assemble?
Peel, stick, done. It's literally as easy as that. We use industrial strength double-sided adhesive tape to construct our products, so everything is 100% recyclable. It's extremely strong and takes literally minutes to assemble.
Is there more demand for cradle to cradle products?
I definitely think so. Way Basics is a cradle to grave and grave to cradle company, because we use materials that are post-consumer and turn it into new and exciting products. We encourage all of our customers to recycle their Way Basics after it reaches the end of its long lifetime, and there is the distinct possibility that it will end up back here at our doorstep to be used again and molded into a brand new zBoard. That's the beauty and power of recycling. People are beginning to see that beauty and realize the importance of their purchasing power.
Does cardboard furniture encourage a throwaway mentality?
I don't think so. Especially with the economic climate that we are currently in, people are very concerned with the quality of their furniture, or really any product for that matter. I think that our furniture gives consumers peace of mind that they are able to recycle the furniture at the end of its lifespan and not have to worry about it ending up in a landfill somewhere.
How long will the furniture last?
Just like many of the products on the market today, they last as long as the consumer allows them to. If you properly care for them, they will last a very long time.
Is the furniture strong?
We get this question a lot so instead of telling everyone how strong it is, we showed them. On our website we created a video of one of our team members standing on our furniture and putting it to the test. He weighs about 200 lbs, so I'd say it's pretty resilient.
Anything you would like to add?
We would like to offer your readers 10% off their entire order to try out Way Basics. Use code WBGM10 at checkout. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us.

Help With Profiles Please
Started Nov 7, 2013 | Questions thread
"In general, to start out, I would suggest turning off color management in Photoshop, and letting the printer deal with color management, at least until you better understand what you are doing."
I agree. When you let Printer Manage Color and choose the paper being used in the Printer driver, the printer will apply an internal, already determined profile. Good luck and enjoy.

Piedmont wrestling coach Erik Ford likes where his team is headed early in the season.
The Wildcats upset Class 5A No. 4 Deer Creek 31-30 in a dual Thursday night, aided by Blane Culp's upset of defending state champion Cole Pacheco.
"We've wanted that matchup all season since he got out of football," Ford said. "We had been talking about wrestling Pacheco and how we want to use it as a measuring stick to see where we're at this year."
Ford added that it's probably been 10 years since Piedmont last beat Deer Creek in wrestling.
And the next-to-last match sealed it all.
Pacheco jumped to a 2-1 lead before Culp landed a takedown in the second period. Culp went on to win the match 9-4.
Rallying was the theme of the night.
Piedmont, ranked No. 5 in Class 4A, fell behind 18-3 before winning five straight matches.
"We weren't going to give it up easy just because we got down early," Ford said.

Respond to Review of Karuzo
by jollypig
Review: OK, so you come here knowing that the restaurant serves sushi, which would put many vegetarians off. The owner is helpful and friendly and willing to tailor your meal to your taste and requirements. After a bit of a wait the food was pretty good, but not great - perhaps a bit on the bland side. It was a little overpriced by Sarajevo standards. It's a nice restaurant; more upmarket than most in Sarajevo. But personally I'd prefer to go to a totally vegetarian place, which in Sarajevo means the excellent Vegehana. Otherwise there's Global Foods or Taj Mahal which are Veg Friendly.

VetDepot Encourages Owners to Include Pets in New Year's Resolutions
With all of the excitement of New Year´s Eve upon us, many people are choosing to make resolutions for the New Year. VetDepot is suggesting owners include their pets in their resolutions for a happier and healthier 2013.
Encinitas (PRWEB) December 31, 2012
It´s that time of year again! The ball is about to drop in Times Square, the celebrations are about to begin, and people across the country are jotting down their resolutions for the New Year. With 2013 just hours away, VetDepot is encouraging owners to include their pets in their resolutions for a happier, healthier new year.
Commit to More Exercise: An easy way to bump up physical activity is to commit to daily dog walks. It´s harder to skip daily activity when that sweet pup is expecting his evening walk. This resolution will benefit both dog and owner.
Shed Those Extra Pounds: Weight loss is a popular goal this time of year, but being overweight isn´t just a problem for people. For pet parents with an overweight canine or feline companion, getting rid of those extra pounds is a great goal for the New Year. Owners can help their pet achieve a healthy weight by encouraging activity, giving out fewer treats and following their vet´s weight loss advice.
Resolve Not to Skip the Vet: Annual veterinary exams contribute to the overall wellness of a pet. An annual checkup makes it possible for health conditions to be addressed early on, ensures that a pet´s vaccinations always remain up-to-date, and provides an excellent opportunity for owners to speak with a vet about any questions or concerns they have regarding their pet´s health.
Help Animals in Need: People can experience a big boost in their own mood from doing something good for others. Volunteering at a local animal shelter is a great way for animal lovers to feel better about themselves in 2013.
About VetDepot: VetDepot offers the very same pet products available from your local veterinarian with savings of up to 60%. All VetDepot products are backed by their 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

The gold sponsors: NCH Health Care Systems, Morgan Keegan, Specialists in Urology, Douglas Schumann, Medical and Sports Rehabilitation and Naples On The Run.
A big thanks to the many in-kind sponsors who provided treats to the runners after the race, and the massage team.
Thanks to the city of Naples, police and emergency services personnel and the city's great citizens for once again welcoming the runners and allowing the use of the streets of Old Naples and Port Royal.
Thanks to all the great volunteers who gave their time and energy to aid the runners and to all the spectators who came out to cheer their favorite runners.
And to the participant runners who came from almost every state and several foreign countries, we thank you for making the Naples Half Marathon one of the best in the country.
And last, a thanks to all of those listed above, from those who will be the 2013 recipients of Gulf Coast Runners College Scholarships. The $40,000-plus raised will all go to help those future scholarship winners realize their dreams of higher education.
We all look forward to the 2014 Naples Daily News Half Marathon.
