The first instinct of most baseball fans is to sell out and sacrifice themselves or those around them for a chance at a souvenir. We saw no better example of this earlier this week when a fan literally forgot where he was or what he was doing, let go of his son's wagon to chase a home run ball and watched as the wagon rolled down the hill into a fence.
Thankfully, there were no injuries reported. Well, aside from the man's ego after he heard about it from his wife. But it shows how locked in the majority of fans are when they attend games. It's almost like they can smell the baseball coming from 400 feet away, so the instincts take over and the results aren't always pretty.
Of course, not all fans are like this. Every now and then you'll see one that's eager to bail, sometimes even leaving their significant other in harm's way. But never have we seen a more decisive bailing than what happened in the ninth inning of Friday's Grapefruit League battle between the Baltimore Orioles and Minnesota Twins.
It's basically the reverse of the dad letting go of the wagon, and since no one was injured in either case, the scene is just as comical.
As for our suggestions for fans heading to a future game.
1. Wear a glove. Because why not? You're still cool to us.
2. Know where you're sitting or standing and always be ready to react.
3. Bring the kids but leave the wagons and strollers at home. You need to keep as many hands free as possible.

General Motors comes up with some new deals aimed at putting you in the driver's seat of a new GM car.
The automaker is offering no interest financing, and discounts on some 2006 models to clear them off the lots.
For example, GM is slashing 10-percent off the sticker price for Saturns.
Many other models come with cash bonuses and zero percent financing.
No word yet, if GM will match last year's employee pricing deal. These newest incentives end Sept. 5.

When I took my first pastorate, which I am still currently serving, I had stars in my eyes and visions of grandeur. I envisioned filling the pews and having to put out chairs because of all the people that would be coming. I envisioned our student ministry taking off and our children's department to do the same.
If Peter is supposed to be a Calvinist warning against the Arminian interpretations of Paul (as I've heard some say), then he certainly chose words unlike any Calvinist I've ever heard…
I believe the vast majority of Calvinists seek to be clear about their belief in Calvinism when interviewed by a pastoral search committee. I personally know some Calvinists who seek to make this very clear in the interview process. However, and quite unfortunately, that is not always the case.
Individual Human Responsibility. A major weakness in the Calvinist scheme is found here. It is a basic teaching of scripture that individuals are held accountable for their sin. This is the basis for judgment in both human law courts and the divine court.
This is not the first time the ethicist and the Judge have been at odds. When the Judge refused to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from the Alabama Supreme Court, Dr. Moore sided with the Federal Government. Now we have Moore-vs-Moore, round two.

NEWMARKET, England (AP) — Shaken by the recent doping confessions of two high-profile trainers, British horse racing is under a cloud heading into the first two classics of the flat-racing season — the 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket.
The town in eastern England has been at the center of both scandals, with Godolphin trainer Mahmood al-Zarooni banned for eight years for administering anabolic steroids to 15 horses and Gerard Butler confessing Monday to giving horses a product containing anabolic steroids.
The specter of those scandals hangs over racing on the Rowley Mile this weekend, especially with the Godolphin-owned Dawn Approach setting out as 5-4 favorite with British bookmakers for the 2,000 Guineas on Saturday. The 1,000 Guineas takes place Sunday at the same course and over the same distance.

City Hall Memo; Bloomberg, With Year Inside, Shows What Outsiders Can Do
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER
Published: December 21, 2002
The theory was as simple as it was improbable: Michael R. Bloomberg, a billionaire entrepreneur who squeaked into office with no government experience or clear base of political support, would succeed precisely because of those very liabilities.
In an interview yesterday at City Hall, Mr. Bloomberg said the first year of his administration has ''absolutely'' been a success. Clearly, Mr. Bloomberg's outsider status has shaken up the way business is done in City Hall, emboldening him to mull and attempt things without many of the political motivations that have traditionally fueled the machine of government.
Impervious to the political pressures from the real estate and hotel industries, he imposed a rule forbidding New York drivers from making turns on certain Midtown streets, enraging many. Owing nothing to social policy advocates, Mr. Bloomberg put homeless families in a former jail and refused to move them, even in the face of a political storm. Now he is exploring turning cruise ships into shelters.
He spoke openly about building incinerators in residential neighborhoods or shipping garbage to the Caribbean when contemplating his garbage policies last spring, ignoring seasoned government types who insisted neither plan would fly.
In seeking control of the public schools, this mayor's lack of political baggage or clear educational ideology paved the way toward gaining that control -- government, political and educational experts agreed -- giving him a prize that had eluded the three mayors before him.
''He is much more focused on whether or not something is a good idea,'' said Martha K. Hirst, the commissioner of the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, who has served under three other mayors. ''He doesn't have an initial political reaction to things, and what that means is that you get a chance to talk about ideas.''
Mr. Bloomberg, 60, has impressed even his critics, who have noted the circumstances -- a political novice facing a yawning budget gap and the psychic lesions left by the 2001 terrorist attacks -- along with the accomplishments.
But Mr. Bloomberg's distance from New York's traditional political circles has led many City Council members, policy advocates, lobbyists, government officials and others to complain that this mayor is remote from, if not disdainful of, the larger workings of government and the city he oversees. Mr. Bloomberg, for example, dismissed the role of the City Council early on, a political miscalculation that almost cost him his antismoking legislation.
And while his enthusiasm for new ideas and his allergy to polls is refreshing to city commissioners, deputy mayors and his other fans, supporters of Bloomberg confess that he can also appear insensitive to the patchwork quilt of agendas in the city. Many close to him cringed when he warned last summer against turning ground zero into a cemetery -- and then would not back down.
And some critics say he is often impatient with those who do not cotton to his management style.
''People who spend a lot of time in the public sector can, over time, convince themselves that fundamental changes can't happen,'' said Bill de Blasio, a councilman from Brooklyn. ''I think it is a virtue that he can look at things as a clean slate.''
''At the same time not being beholden to any interests can have a downside too,'' Mr. De Blasio said, ''because it can lead to less sensitivity to what New Yorkers are actually experiencing in their daily lives. For instance, if you are connected to the labor movement, you learn about the needs of working people. I imagine it has been years since he has had to grapple with what most of us grapple with, like how to reach the mortgage payment.''
Indeed, though he takes the subway to work most days and keeps his security detail as far from him as possible, Mr. Bloomberg still has had little contact with average New Yorkers. He has gone to a total of two town hall meetings in city neighborhoods since he was elected (Rudolph W. Giuliani did them monthly), and takes few phone calls on his weekly radio show. He rarely spends weekends selling his fiscal and social policies in ethnic enclaves and working class neighborhoods.
How New Yorkers feel about all this is unclear. His poll numbers have dropped precipitously in the last month, but it is impossible to say whether his smoking ban, his tax increase or his now ubiquitous Boston twang account for that slide.
For his part, Mr. Bloomberg is impatient with those who criticize his style, which was honed in the private sector, and, he concedes, is quite different from other mayors. It relies heavily on keeping a small circle of those who are in the know and delegating many key functions of government. He allows his aides close and frequent access, and pushes ahead with ideas in the face of extreme political pressures.
''If there is anybody that can sit back and say 'Hey, stop all this. I do know what I'm doing in terms of managing,' '' it is he, Mr. Bloomberg said yesterday. ''It's pretty hard to argue that I don't. I mean, given what I've built,'' he said, referring to his financial information company, Bloomberg L.P. He admitted that he often ignores his aides' pleas to do a better job of promoting his accomplishments. ''That's not my style,'' he said. ''I think the facts in the end are what matters.''

I went to Iron Cactus to meet my teammates for lunch after the disappointing cancellation of the CapTexTri. We were there 15 minutes before the place opened and the waiter asked us to wait outside. Normal enough, since they were not open yet, but something about the tone made me think twice about eating there. As we entered and waited to be seated (about 20 of us showing up and yes, we called ahead) I considered the fact that I had my bike on my car with no lock (Saris rack - you can take the whole thing off, bike and all), looked around the empty restaurant, spotted some wide open spaces where I could set my bike while we ate, and decided to roll it in and ask the waiter where I might be able to set it so it wouldn't get stolen on 6th street. He said, "you need to talk to the manager," didn't bother to even get him for me, and when I saw that a 'manager-type' guy approached the front of the restaurant, I asked him if I could bring my bike in b/c I didn't have a lock (I was going from home to race to home, so I thought!) and he said bikes were not allowed. When my fiance asked why, he said, "it's policy." Well, my policy is not to give my money to any establishment that treats customers like crap, so I left.
Long story short, I should have figured that is the kind of treatment to expect on 6th street, having long ago lost any semblance of the 'Austin-y' vibe that people love so much about that city.
I lived there for over 5 years before moving away, and was happy to find a decent place to eat on South First, where my bike was more than welcome, the atmosphere and food wonderful, and the people and service very true to the Austin I knew and loved.
Thanks. Just had to vent. I figure not every establishment can allow anybody to bring in a bike, but considering that ALL their business was coming from the group I was with, I thought they might give it a little consideration, which the manager did not. Not his problem, I guess, just doing his job, running the joint on a Sunday morning!

New Delhi, July 24 (IANS) Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty says she has turned down a lot of international projects as she wants to focus more on Hindi films.
'I have left a lot of international projects to come back to Hindi films. Someone told me I was already out of sight and I did not want to be out of mind too. I want a good end product - a good Hindi film made in India,' said Shilpa on the sidelines of an event here Wednesday.
Shilpa also said she has not completely dropped the idea of working in the West.
'If the prospects are lucrative enough in the West, I'll definitely go there. I have an international project, but it is still in the process of scripting,' informed the actress.
Recollecting her win on Britain's reality show 'Celebrity Big Brother', she said: 'I think 'Big Brother' has been a boon in disguise for not only me but many Asians living abroad. I'm happy with whatever happened on the show. At least, it has changed the perception for Indians living abroad.'
Shilpa refrained from making any comments on the rumours of her hosting the second season of 'Big Boss', the Indian version of British 'Big Brother'.
'When any such thing happens, the media will be informed.'
Shilpa's next project includes 'The Man' with Sunny Deol in which she would be seen playing the violin for the first time on-screen. Shilpa, who took violin lessons for her role, quipped: 'Violin is the single most difficult instrument to play. I am still nursing a bad neck and I do 'bhujangasan' (yoga) everyday to get rid of the pain.'
Apart from working in films, she will concentrate on her company S2 Global Productions. She has roped in Manish Jha of 'Matrubhoomi' fame to direct her first home production.
She will also be seen sharing the stage with the Bachchan's at their ongoing 'Unforgettable' tour in London Aug 23-24 at the prestigious 02 Arena, earlier known as the Millennium Dome.

Metra Says It Found No Pollution Danger in Cars
Byline: Ted Cox email@example.com
The first stage of Metra pollution testing in passenger cars turned up no evidence of dangerous diesel emissions, according to Chief Mechanical Officer Rich Soukup.
"All of the levels have come in well below OSHA standards," Soukup said, in making a presentation to the Metra board Friday in Chicago.
The testing, according to air-quality standards set by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, saw pollution levels drop 50 percent from the first car behind the locomotive to the second car, and halve again in the third car, at which point they leveled off for the rest of the train. Yet even in the first passenger car, Soukup said, "none of these levels is anywhere close to the OSHA levels."
The testing did detect spikes in levels of hard-carbon soot on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Line running out of Union Station to Naperville and Aurora, and Soukup allowed, "There is no established level for that at this point. …

So while I'm doing this for me 99% of the time, I also really, really want to prove them wrong.
Grace and Spark - my blog!
"It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them." - G. Eliot
And there is nothing wrong with that!
I still get some nasty things yelled at me, but less than when I started. I think part of that is because it's obvious that I know what I'm doing now, at least a little, where before... not so much. Also, from the back my Clydehood isn't quite so obvious any more.
My friends and neighbors started to take notice after I dropped the first 50 lbs or so, but many people didn't notice even then. I'm off on vacation next week and will see a bunch of folks who haven't seen me in 6-12 months -- we'll see how that goes.
About a month ago I was riding on a busy country road, no shoulder. There's a very short -- not even 100 yards -- hill that comes out of nowhere and quickly gets up to 8-9%. I always try to let people pass me before I get to it as there's no way they can pass me on it -- you can't see the oncoming traffic over the top of it. No dice this day. The car following me has to wait as I get my far arse up out of the saddle and climb. Once you get over the hill there's a curve, and then a good straight stretch where you can see the oncoming traffic and pass. The car speeds up to go around me and I hear the window roll down. "Great," I think to myself. "Another witty comment about getting my fat behind off the road." I'm all ready to flip the dude off when I see it's the mailman -- he's leaning out the window and giving me a big thumbs up.
Of course, a couple weeks later I was in the same neighborhood and apparently quite amusing to a bunch of kids waiting at a bus stop. So it balances out.
They still don't. But that's their problem, not mine.
A couple of people laughed at me, but after I ran them over with my bike they weren't laughing anymore. Seriously, though, you have to keep in in perspective. You ride, because you want to ride. It doesn't matter what people think about you while you ride. The only people who should be worried about what they look like or what other people think about them when they ride are professional riders. They can't make a living if they don't look good.
"Obstacles don't like me very much. I make them look bad."
I have no idea, I don't ride my bike to lose weight (that would be ridiculous) - that's what my diet is for. I ride my bike to ride a bike, feel the wind in my hair and enjoy getting around town a lot more than I do driving my car. Having calves the size of my (big, big) head is a fringe benefit.
My husband is my biggest cheerleader. Actually, he can be a bit of a bully at times... bless him. My dad is right behind him with my SIL a close third. The only bad comments I've had are from vicious-natured teen boys in packs showing out for each other as they yell insults to the fat, gray-haired old woman cycling past. My driving instructor politely asks how much I've ridden as we walk to the car. When I tell him, 'Oh, only 80 km or so this week'. He'll ask what my longest was and if it was 'only 30 km', he shakes his head and admits if he tried to ride that far, it would kill him.
Other than that, I get waves, smiles and thumbs up even from a lot of the hard core cyclists. Nothing like riding in the opposite direction of a large bike race and getting endless encouragement from the participants.
Speak of the devil... just yesterday an a**hole in a pickup screamed "FAT ASS" and threw a beer can at me. The idiot missed, but I was seriously disheartened for a while last night.
I seriously just don't understand what possesses people in this country to think it's alright to verbally abuse and attempt to assault someone who is trying to improve their life. Sigh.

That is an awesome motivator. ;-)I also really, really want to prove them wrong.
On a more serious note, people hate to see others succeed. That's why a neighbor would bring over cookies, that's why some will laugh at you - misery loves company.
And Beanz, your bike friends are right; just stick with it and maybe soon you'll be able to ride 25 miles.....

Then again, she took her girls swimming last weekend. She (who was on swim team in high school some 30 years ago) could barely do 50m. I do 800m, some drills, and then another 800m. I think that sort of showed her I'm not kidding.
I do have a donation page (located here) but they don't take Paypal - just Visa/MC/etc. If that doesn't work for you but you'd like to donate, let me know via PM and we'll work something out.
Also - all of you are awesome. This thread has made me feel like I'm not alone and I can know I'm sticking with this and that can be enough - no one else has to believe me (though it's wonderful you guys do).
Now I'm off to "shop" for the bike I'm buying myself for my 30th birthday in September. I love the 20 year old mountain bike a co-worker loaned me for a few months but...I'm thinking a hybrid that weighs less than 3435343 pounds would be good.

I just got weird looks when I first started...then I got "wow you have a lot of endurance for how you look" ..(?) and now I'm getting "hey, the bike has been really good for you" "you look more in shape" so it gets better!
If it's peace you find in dying, and if dying time is near,
Just bundle up my coffin 'cause it's cold way down there!
And I've been waiting for a perfect scenario (credit to Winston Churchill for the idea) - person in car yells "hey fat ass" at me as I ride, I catch up to them at the next stop light or stop sign, I yell "I'm losing weight and getting in shape, you'll be stupid for life." *sigh* So far I haven't even gotten yelled at.
I'm probably not truly a clyde, (on the outside), but I do have fairly good support. It's more along the lines of people saying "Oh, he is riding a bike.", and that is about as far a their concern goes. My wife rides with me about 30% of my distance on average, and thats always fun. I thought I had her support 100% until I showed her the cost of even entry level road bikes . I feel that it's probably slipped now to about 80%..lol

Date of Stay: May, 2015
Typical Passport America park. Dirt and gravel. Front spaces have patches of grass but if you want to leave your tow hooked up you will need to go to back. Lots of gnats but it had rained a lot. Wi-Fi in back was non existent. Would stay again for overnighter.
Date of Stay: May, 2015
I guess it's what to expect from a PA park. Pretty much a field with hook ups. Lots of goat heads. No cable, no Wifi. People in office could take it or leave it. They do take you to your spot.
Date of Stay: May, 2015
Very nice office. They give veterans discount and mints for your pillow. It's pretty much dirt and gravel so very muddy when raining. You can hear the trains but not loud like some parks we've been. Internet was nonexistent on my phone. Computer would probably work. Didn't use cable.
Date of Stay: August, 2014
This is a great park. Walking distance to town, although no sidewalks. Nice big spaces. It even had a drive-in movie screen and they play movies on weekends! I would have given higher marks but the spaces are quite unlevel and Internet was pretty much non-existent.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
Good Sam rate. This is a beautiful park. Lots of grass. Playgrounds. Walking trails along the river. Friendly staff. Even had an ice cream truck that comes around in the evening with reasonable prices. Would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
Great price. Great Wi-Fi. Friendly staff. Met us outside; we didn't even get out of vehicle. Nice big spaces, fairly level. Grass between each site. The only reason I didn't give 10 is there is no sewer, although there is dump station, and the cow manure smell. It was not unbearable but definitely there. We just kept our windows closed. Would definitely stay again.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
We actually paid zero because my husband is a disabled vet. Nice park but for mosquitos. We stayed inside. The sites are fairly close and some sites had to share fire pits.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
We didn't even stay here. We drove through and saw how run down it was and decided it wasn't worth $30 a night. We just went and parked in the empty lot at the bottom of the road.
Date of Stay: May, 2014
We actually paid zero because my husband is a disabled vet. This park is beautiful. Walking distance to the beach. Fire pits on each site. They have little educational gatherings at night. I would definitely stay again even if we had to pay
Date of Stay: May, 2014
This was a PA rate. Nice clean park, mostly blacktop with areas of red rocks between sites. Noisy trains but only heard them once during each night. Cable is OK, not the best reception. Wi-Fi is very slow. Would stay again.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
This is more of a campground than RV park. The road going into the park needs some work. It is a dirt road with potholes and a little steep. The sites are a bit overgrown with grass. And you have to walk a ways up a steep grade to take your trash. That being said, the internet rate is only $25 for full hookups. There is a firepit on each site. I would definitely camp here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
Very dusty, narrow spaces. No shade at all. A little noisy. The dust was mostly if you camp in the front where all the truck traffic is. The motel was locked when we first got here, so we had to wait for the girl to return from the bank run. Plenty of spaces to choose from and even though the spaces are narrow, I doubt you hardly ever have a neighbor right next door in this place. Needs a little upkeep. Not sure that I would stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
Don't know what the rate is. We had special tickets that allowed us to stay free. This is the prettiest RV park I have ever been to. The people are very nice. It is very clean. Nice level, paved spots with grass all around. There is a beautiful lake also. The only reason I gave an 8 is because there is no cable TV and the internet is a little slow.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
Great park. The spaces were pretty level. The are gravel which is pretty much the norm. But what made me like it so much is the people. Very nice, friendly, helpful staff. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. This rate was with the Escapees discount.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
Pretty park. Long enough so we didn't have to unhook truck and our RV is 38 ft. Spaces are just a little narrow though. There is an indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi.

Attorney General Jim Hood has asked the
Mississippi Supreme Court to reconsider its ruling that Gov. Haley Barbour's late-term pardons were valid.
In a filing Thursday, Hood asked that the case be sent back to Hinds County Circuit Court.
Hood claims the court's Mar. 8 decision effectively determined the limits on the governor's power are not reviewable.
The court had declared it would not intervene in a dispute between the executive and judicial branches. It said the determination of whether pardon applicants had met legal requirements was the sole power of the governor.
In his filing, Hood said that makes Mississippi's the only Supreme Court in the nation to hold such a view.
Hood contends some pardon recipients didn't meet a constitutional mandate to publish their request for leniency.

Ok I read a lot about us Canucks having issues getting stuff from bike island, BD and others. I have an option for you.
I use http://www.thelettercarrier.com
I recently had a standup arcade game shipped from Arizona to them. I drove 100 metres across the border and picked it up and cleared customs myself. Easy as pie.
When I lived in Turks & Caicos, I had a camera that needed warranty repair. They would not ship outside the US on returning it to me, so I had it shipped to letter carrier, they took my credit card and shipped it to me for $20 (cheap). It was already boxed so it was quick and easy.
Call them up and put your name on their list. When your shipment comes in they will charge your card and ship it USPS to you on the cheap. Calling them is never easy since it's a pretty rinky dink operation that is seriously overwhlemed by all of the population of Vancouver. When you do get them on the phone they are thorough.
Hope this helps getting parts and bikes into your hands.

Janis Lyn Joplin (January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970) was an American singer, songwriter, and music arranger, from Port Arthur, Texas. She rose to prominence in the late 1960s as the lead singer of Big Brother and the Holding Company, and later as a solo artist. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Joplin #46 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. She died in Los Angeles, California of a drug overdose at the age of 27.
Janis Joplin was born to Seth and Dorothy (née East) Joplin; her father was an engineer at Texaco, her mother, registrar at a business college. She had two younger siblings, Michael and Laura. The Joplins felt that Janis always needed more attention than their other children, with her mother stating, "She was unhappy and unsatisfied without [receiving a lot of attention]. The normal rapport wasn't adequate."
As a teenager, she befriended a group of outcasts, one of whom had albums by African-American blues artists Bessie Smith and Leadbelly, whom Joplin later credited with influencing her decision to become a singer. She began singing in the local choir and expanded her listening to blues singers such as Odetta and Big Mama Thornton.
Primarily a painter while still in school, she first began singing blues and folk music with friends. While at Thomas Jefferson High School, she stated that she was mostly shunned. Joplin was quoted as saying, "I was a misfit. I read, I painted, I didn't hate niggers. As a teen, she became overweight and her skin broke out so badly she was left with deep scars which required dermabrasion. Other kids at high school would routinely taunt her and call her names like "pig," "freak" or "creep."
Joplin graduated from high school in 1960 and attended Lamar State College of Technology in Beaumont, Texas during the summer and later the University of Texas at Austin, though she did not complete her studies. The campus newspaper ran a profile of her in 1962 headlined "She Dares To Be Different.
Cultivating a rebellious manner, Joplin styled herself in part after her female blues heroines and, in part, after the Beat poets. Her very first song recorded on tape, at the home of a fellow student in December 1962, was "What Good Can Drinkin' Do". She left Texas for San Francisco in 1963, living in North Beach and later Haight-Ashbury. In 1964, Joplin and future Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen recorded a number of blues standards, further accompanied by Margareta Kaukonen on typewriter (as percussion instrument). This session included seven tracks: "Typewriter Talk," "Trouble In Mind," "Kansas City Blues," "Hesitation Blues," "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out," "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy" and "Long Black Train Blues," and was later released as the bootleg album The Typewriter Tape.
Around this time her drug use increased, and she acquired a reputation as a "speed freak" and occasional heroin user. She also used other intoxicants and was a heavy drinker throughout her career; her trademark beverage was Southern Comfort.
In the spring of 1965, Joplin's friends, noticing the physical effects of her amphetamine habit (she was described as "skeletal" and "emaciated"), persuaded her to return to Port Arthur, Texas. In May 1965, Joplin's friends threw her a bus-fare party so she could return home. Back in Port Arthur, she changed her lifestyle. She avoided drugs and alcohol, began wearing relatively modest dresses, adopted a beehive hairdo, and enrolled as a sociology major at Lamar University in nearby Beaumont, Texas. During her year at Lamar University, she commuted to Austin to perform solo, accompanying herself on guitar. One of her performances was reviewed in the Austin American-Statesman. Joplin became engaged to a man who visited her, wearing a blue serge suit, to ask her father for her hand in marriage, but the man terminated plans for the marriage soon after

Local History: Annals filled with fascinating people
The stories of colorful Tunicans who populate our history continue to fascinate visitors. Three who contributed significantly to local lore are Harold Clanton, Mrs. Rosa Fort, and Calvin Norwood.
Harold "Hardface" Clanton. and his juke joint were staples of blues entertainment in Tunica County for over forty years.
Clanton, who earned his nickname "Hardface" from the stone cold face he wore while playing poker, had an entrepreneurial spirit. While serving in the Army during World War II, he saved all of his income and opened a juke joint on his return home. His business savvy quickly made him one of the county's most successful men.

Demand Media Inc said Google Inc's new search algorithm hurt page views on some of its websites moderately, sending its shares down as much as 13 percent on Monday.
However, the company said some third-party estimates on the impact have "significantly overstated" the negative impact of those changes on traffic to eHow.com.
The reason they are making press statements is that their stock prices are influenced. But according to the article, only 28% of revenue was coming from Google traffic. That sounds healthy to me.
There is a lot of business and content savvy at Demand Media, and it's not a good idea to just slam them because of the worst pages on eHow.
I seemingly doubt those investors went into the situation blind or without hearing some guarantees.

...there�s a reason Demand Media�s stock has fallen more than 40 percent this month. Today it hit its lowest level yet, $14.05 a share.
Some individual Demand sites are doing even worse than that, with Answerbag, a questions-and-answers site, being the hardest hit. Its Google referrals are down 80 percent. Meanwhile, eHow, Demand�s largest and most important site by far, is down 29 percent;

The dangerous thing that can arise from this is people will likely associate that Google can obliterate any online businesses overnight and that can send jitters through the stock market. In other words it�s being done to thousands of small businesses already without much fanfare so who will be next. Plus its gets even trickier when you claim no bias and you�re seeding your own index with sites that directly enhance your own earnings. It becomes more and more difficult to proclaim your innocence when you�re standing directly over a dead body with a smoking pistol in your hand.

Thanks for the Future
Deutschman, Alan, Newsweek
How a college dropout trusted his gut, defied corporate America, and carried us into tomorrow.
New York City, March 20, 1983: Steve Jobs is gazing at ancient Greek sculptures in the Metropolitan Museum of Art as he spends the day with John Sculley, the head of Pepsi and the man he has been trying for months to lure from the East Coast to become his partner in running Apple. They leave the museum, walk through Central Park, and head to the San Remo apartment house, Jobs's future New York home. As they stand on the western balcony, peering across the Hudson River, Jobs pauses dramatically before delivering one of the most seductive recruiting pitches in history:
"Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?"
That sentence would become one of Jobs's most famous formulations, along with "insanely great" and "think different." The basis of its power, the reason it was such an irresistible pitch, was this: Steve Jobs, then only 28 years old, had already changed the world, and would go on, over the next quarter century, to change it again and again.
While Jobs surely ranks as one of the most important figures in business and technology, he's also one of the most influential cultural figures of our time, the motivating force behind the idea that business and work can be primary sources of creativity, fulfillment, and meaning in our lives; the belief that companies can foment cultural change; the notion that engineers and executives can think like artists; and the realization that good design and aesthetics matter in one of the world's most cutthroat industries.
Jobs's relentless pursuit of perfection was also a key part of his legend. In 1977, when Apple's first corporate headquarters was in the same building as a regional sales office for Sony, he would stop by and ogle Sony's marketing materials, admiring the graphics and logos, noticing the weight of the paper stock. For one of his public presentations, Jobs scrutinized 37 different color variations before picking the background for his projector slides.
The perfectionism extended to his home life as well: the first two houses he owned, in Los Gatos and Woodside, Calif., remained nearly empty for years because he couldn't find the perfect furnishings.
And rather than relying on market research or focus groups for guidance, Jobs followed his own gut about product design. When he was creating the iMac, which combined a monitor and computer in the same casing, industry research said consumers wouldn't buy this kind of so-called all-in-one design. But Jobs wasn't deterred, telling a colleague, "I know what I want and I know what they want."
He, of course, was right. And that sense of leading public tastes, rather than following them, is as important as anything else in Jobs's genius. Perhaps equally astonishing is just how close he came to failing entirely.
Sculley, who succumbed to that balcony pitch and joined Apple as CEO, soured on Jobs only two years later, forcing him out of the company that Jobs saw as an extension of himself. Betrayed by the man he felt closest to in the world, Jobs seemed so depressed that one of his longtime friends, Apple executive Mike Murray, feared he was suicidal.
Jobs considered any number of randomly different paths, from expatriating to France to staying home at his huge, unfurnished old mansion in Woodside and cultivating his garden. Ultimately, his escapist fantasies were just that, and instead he persisted--tenaciously, resiliently--on the path he had begun following at 21. For most of the next decade he struggled as his two new companies, NeXT and Pixar, were so financially ruinous that he came close to blowing the entire $100 million fortune he had amassed from selling Apple stock.
But he didn't give up, and his astonishing comeback and eventual triumph are as much a part of the Jobs legacy as the iPads and iPhones and Macs that have shaped our daily lives. …

text: In some other heading and threads, when bents are mentioned, DF riders decend on the poster like bees on sugar water. They scream things like "stay out of my pace line, dont talk to me, keep your joke machine away from me, and thats not a real bicycle. For some reason they seem to be threatened by bent riders. It seems to me bent riders would reinforce cycling in general, and they should welcome us. Or is it the fact that they know but never talk about the fact that bents hold all the speed records. Are they jealous of the "bent grin"? So what do others of you think the reason is?

I keep a couple of these on my desk in case I forget my lunch. I add a bit of harissa but I am a spice addict! They're kinda pricey but then again, the ingredients are much better than a pot noodle but just as easy to prep.

I use it for stuffing peppers
This is a store cupboard staple for me. I use it for doing stuffed peppers, with some grated cheese on top and banged in the oven. The contents seem to vary a bit but with melted cheese on top it's always nice!

No flavour whatsoever. I couldnt eat it so shamefully it was wasted!

healthy and easy
i find it very practical to have these in my cupboard... as they are dried, they last a long time and can be stored as a nutritious emergency food for when you have no time/energy for cooking healthily... practical to take to work as well, no need for a microwave, just add boiling water. in terms of the taste, this one is MUCH nicer than the quite bland asparagus and sweetcorn quinoa pot. No, it's not delicious but it is less than 300 calories, what do you expect???

Unexpectedly satisfying
It's nice to have as a quick healthy standby in the cupboard. It looked a bit unpromising but was subtly flavoured and not too salty. It is only 303 calories though so if you're hungry you will need fruit or a yogurt to fill you up afterwards!

Greed turns men into ghosts in horror comedy.
WHAT is a greedy ghost, one may ask? "The Greedy Ghost is actually not a ghost, but a man. It's due to his excessively greedy nature that this man eventually ends up seeing ghosts," came the reply of Greedy Ghost executive producer Mark Lee in a press conference held before the commencement of the movie shoot last October.
"Generally, we know people tend to be greedy, regardless of whether they are millionaires, billionaires, trillionaires or zillionaires. As long as there is something that they like, and yearn for, I believe they will want to get it for themselves, regardless of the price. Yet, there are some things that result in major consequences and require us to pay a hefty price," offered Lee, a household name in Singapore for his boisterous variety shows and hilarious movies.
"Hence, this movie aims to get across the message that what's yours is yours, and what's not is not. So, if it's not yours, don't take it, because the consequences may be more than you can imagine," stressed Lee, 43, who was last seen in Chai Yee Wei's horror comedy Twisted.
Greedy Ghost is helmed by Singaporean director Boris Boo, whose previous movies include Where Got Ghost? (2009, co-directed with Jack Neo) Aku Tak Bodoh (2010, the Bahasa Malaysia remake of 2006's I Not Stupid Too), and Phua Chu Kang, The Movie (2010).
In Greedy Ghost, three bumbling buddies, whose greed prompts them to steal from the deceased, find that the payback is beyond their imagination. The klutzy trio are played by Taiwan's Kang Kang (real name Kang Jing Rong), Singapore's Henry Thia and Malaysia's Brendan Yuen.
Perpetually jinxed, Lim (Kang) can hardly believe his luck when he chances upon a book called Wordless Script that somehow brings him a windfall. His compulsive gambler friend Huat (Yuen) spends the lottery winnings and even steals valuables from graves.
Another friend, the clear-headed Hui (Thia), offers advice but to no avail so he joins them in spending Lim's winnings, too. To maintain their lavish lifestyle, the three strike a deal with the book spirit, unaware that everything comes with a price.
Unfortunately, even Huat's goody-two-shoes girlfriend Xiao Qian (Jesseca Liu) has to pay for the guys' greed.
With popular Taiwanese TV host/actor/singer Kang Kang as the lead in the S$1mil (RM2.5mil) horror comedy, Lee also hopes to take Greedy Ghost to Taiwan.
"I'm very happy to have gotten my good friend Kang Kang to play the lead. When I spoke to him about the project, I told him not to think of me as a boss, but as a good friend," shared Lee, who befriended Kang Kang during a trip to Taiwan with prolific Singaporean filmmaker Jack Neo where they met up with Taiwanese variety show host Jacky Wu.
Filming for the first time in Malaysia, Kang was simply elated to be celebrating his wedding anniversary with his wife here in Kuala Lumpur.
"My wife and I went to Fahrenheit, then we watched (Jet Li's) The Sorceror And The White Snake as well as (Jackie Chan's) 1911 Revolution. It felt like we were holidaying before even starting work, so she was very happy," gushed Kang, 45, about his merry outings in town.
This time around, Singaporean funnyman Thia had a major image makeover for his role as Hui. The 60-year-old actor had to shave his head bald and stick on some sparse strands. So, for the duration of the shoot, he had to shave his head everyday. Because of that, Thia, who was named Best Supporting Actor at the 53rd Asia Pacific Film Festival for his role in Money No Enough 2 (2008), even caught a cold.

Four online marketing metrics to obsess about
Feb 5th
Like every new blogger, my dream of success meant getting a business superstar to share my content online. I was convinced that validation from a celebrity tweet would change everything and propel me into the sunny skies of Internet fame and fortune.
About two years into my blogging career, to my surprise and delight, my dream came true. One of my blog posts was tweeted by marketing superstar Guy Kawaski, who has a Twitter following roughly the size of France.
As soon as he tweeted the post (on a Friday) my traffic surged, and over the weekend the number of people finding my site was 500 percent greater than the normal rate. Briefly, the Guy-traffic crashed my server and shut down my website. Look at me—I went viral!
The vanity of "traffic"
When you go viral, you naturally reach a lot of new people outside the comfortable "normal" audience you've built over time. In fact, about 98 percent of the tidal wave of readers over that weekend had never been to the blog before (something that is easily determined through an analytics program). I had a full weekend of blog tourists!
There was no lasting impact from that traffic spike. As far as I could tell, I didn't even get one new subscriber from the biggest single day ever on my blog, up until that point.
Bottom line: There were no discernible business benefits from an "influencer" making my content go viral. This provided an important lesson early in my blogging career — for many businesses, especially if you are selling personal services like me, "traffic" is simply a vanity metric.
The ultimate metric?
Anybody can figure out ways to generate short-term web traffic. But that's simply a battle for attention you can never win. Let your competitors knock each other out over that. Place your focus in just one place — nurturing a truly loyal audience by running your business in a way that demonstrates mutual respect, gratitude, enduring trust, and … dare I say it? Love. Love is not a word usually embraced by businesses, but how can you create unyielding loyalty without it? Maybe love is the ultimate killer app.
How would your business be transformed if your focus was demonstrating respect, gratitude, and love instead of "traffic?"
This is the digital crossroad, a genuine point of business differentiation today. You can pay people to create great content and then pay people to promote it. Huge companies will escalate and automate their content arms race with breath-taking, epic videos. Eventually computers will be creating Grade A content for us with a push of a button. But traffic alone will never create an audience who loves your business.
Four online marketing metrics
So what does matter? There is no one-size-fits-all answer, but here are the four metrics that I pay attention to, measurements that indicate I am growing a loyal audience who will eventually buy stuff:
Returning visitors. The sales cycle for my B2B business is very long. It might take years for a business connection to be in a position to hire me for a marketing workshop or a speech. So I want people to keep coming back to my site. As long as this number keeps rising it will be a leading indicator of good fortune in the future.
Time on site. My marketing goal is simple — earn people's trust through what they see, hear, and read from me. If the trust is high, the business will follow. The only way people will learn about me though is to take a deep dive into my site and hang around. So this is sort of the second half of metric number one — 1) come back to my site, and then 2) hang around!
Social shares. There is no power in content. There is only power in content that MOVES. If my content is not being shared and enjoyed I am wasting my time. Here is a truth — when I do good work, my audience rewards me with content ignition. The social web is highly sensitive to quality, so when I see a post doing well, it's accurate feedback from the online world that I did a good job. Over time, the audience has a big influence on what I write about as I learn what they like.
Conversions. For most businesses, this is the most critical metric of all. How are the visitors converting to real business? Over the past few years the ability to track this has improved dramatically – we can measure our effectiveness down to a specific piece of content or a link on a page. Understanding these details and continually iterating must be a core competency of any marketing department today.
My business is a little different in that people normally can't visit, click, and immediately buy something that connects to a "conversion." When people hire me, it is usually through an email or a phone call, perhaps after they have known me for years. However, a conversion metric for me might mean page views per visit, or the number of clicks to a subscription, consulting, or speaking page that indicates momentum.
I'm constantly learning about new ways to assess and measure my progress and I hope you'll share your lessons too. What metrics indicate you're heading in the right direction?

Two questions to help you find the value of marketing
Feb 4th
By Eric Wittlake, {grow} Contributing Columnist
I was just starting out in this marketing world and we were preparing to present the results of our first online advertising program to our largest client. We were thrilled. Our data clearly showed a big increase in the number of customers from advertising, and that our approach was significantly more cost effective than the prior agency's. Life was good!
But during the presentation, we received a shock. Our client's overall business had barely changed. Ouch!
It made me re-consider how we accounted for the value of marketing. We were counting, not causing. We knew people saw our ads and then became customers. But we didn't have any idea how many of them would have become customers anyway. We had not measured our impact.
Re-thinking the value of marketing
Despite the advancements in data and analytics over the last 10 years, this same thing still happens every day. What's worse, it is celebrated, with awards or case studies highlighting the success of things like social media programs that measure results through redemptions of a discount or special offer. Of course people redeemed … many were already regular customers!
Untangling causality in marketing is a complicated task that can take you down the road of marketing mix models, statisticians that speak a completely different language, and six-figure consulting fees. But for the rest of us, here are two simpler things we can do to start answering the question: In a given financial period, what was the value of marketing?
Track the right trend
Did the trajectory of your business change? If you can't prove a relationship between marketing and business success, don't expect a high-five from the CEO and a big bonus.
Revenue isn't the only useful trend line. What's important is to look at the metrics for the entire business, not only a marketing-attributed view. In the cyclical and long-sales-cycle world of enterprise B2B sales (where I spend much of my time today), these metrics are often more helpful than revenue trends:
- Branded searches. How many people are searching for your brand or product by name? Impressions and clicks on your brand terms (available in Google Webmaster Tools) are a useful metric and one of my favorite gut-checks of impact.
- Direct website visits. Focus on direct visits only (and make sure any paid media is being coded to easily be identified and tracked!)
- Market share. If your marketing is really driving the change, you will be winning market share, not just growing with your market.
Of course, a trend line doesn't mean marketing is driving the change. A product launch, a change in customer service, or the collapse of a competitor can confound the data. But you should be applying statistical analysis and charting business changes to tease out the truth as best you can. Given a long enough period of time, you normally can demonstrate the relationship between marketing and these trends.
Test the trend
How much of the change in your business is really because of marketing? In the short-term, there might be ways to test the effect.
You will need to divide your audience into two similar groups. Roll out your marketing to one group, exclude the second, and then see how your business does within each group. Is the group that sees your marketing buying more or buying more frequently? Or do the two groups seem to be about the same?
Depending on the kind of marketing you are doing, here are four ways you can consider creating these test and control groups.
- Isolate individual markets. If you are launching a new advertising campaign, introducing new product packaging or testing a promotional offer, start by rolling it out in just a few cities or DMAs and compare the results to those from the rest of your market. Even better, compare the results to those in similar markets (sometimes referred to as matched market testing).
- Split a company list. If you market to specific account lists, either through email and direct mail, or through one of the newer company-targeted advertising offering, leave a few target companies out of your marketing and compare win rates or even traffic to your site from each group.
- Create a digital advertising control group. If you are primarily running or testing online advertising, carve out a random sample of people and exclude them from your campaign. This is the approach we took 10 years ago and we learned that less than 5% of the results we reported (or counted) were actually caused by marketing. I expect to see more of this in the future, driven in part by Facebook's move to allow advertisers to track campaigns using Facebook's identifier instead of a tracking cookie.
- Vary across time. Although it isn't ideal, if content marketing or social media are major components of your marketing mix, either turning them on-or-off, or simply varying the level of activity month-by-month, can yield valuable insights. If you take this approach, plan to repeat the on-and-off cycle a couple of times before drawing any conclusions.
Brace yourself. In my experience, as you dig into marketing performance, you will nearly always find that the real impact of marketing is significantly less than what you have been sharing in nicely polished performance reports. But I'd rather know the real result than live in a my own little marketing fantasy land. What about you?

What is the ideal blogging frequency for your business?
Feb 3rd
Blogging frequency is among the most common questions I am asked, and it occurred to me that I have never directly addressed this in a blog post. So here we go — how often should you post on your blog?
First, let's start at a very high level and set the stage about blogging as a business imperative in general. I think that most businesses need to have a source of rich content to fuel their social media presence. Generally that means a blog, video series, podcast or something visual that can drive Instagram, Pinterest and/or Slideshare.
So blogging is an important and popular option, but not necessarily the only option for content creation. You have to consider your resources, talents, and customer needs when deciding what kind of content is best for your business.
What is the ideal blogging frequency?
Like almost every business question, the answer is, "It depends!"
Certainly consistent posting is a key element of success for a number of reasons:
1) Consistent posting "trains" your readers to expect something and builds an audience. It's part of your content cadence.
2) Consistent posting contributes to higher traffic and search engine benefits
3) A regular blogging frequency enables you to dominate a content niche, which is at the heart of content marketing. I describe that strategy in detail in the post Ten Strategies to Battle Content Shock.
4) Committing to a schedule helps you to be a better blogger through practice.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to post frequency. Determining your ideal posting schedule needs to be a consideration of:
- Your business goals
- Your competitive environment and the content density of your industry
- Content producing resources and budget
- Customer needs and expectations
Minimum viable posting
If you're just starting out and finding your way, shoot for at least one post per month as a minimum viable schedule. Have a goal of creating at least one "pillar post" — something original, thought-provoking and evergreen (meaning its message can be relevant for months or years).
As you get into a content groove, experiment by increasing your schedule to once a week. Try a video blog, commenting on something that's in the news, highlighting a customer case study or having another employee try their hand at blogging.
For most business and personal blogs, great quality content coming out at a clip of once a week is an achievable goal that can result in real business benefits.
How much is too much?
I usually post four times a week on {grow}, using a combination of pillar posts, timely commentary, guest posts, video, Slideshare presentations, case studies, interviews, and podcasts. So there is a tremendous amount of variety and new perspectives in this space.
How did I decide on four posts? Why is that right for my business?
First let me assure you that I never, ever compromise quality for quantity on this blog. If I don't have four excellent posts to share with you, I would not post at that rate. When people guest post for me, it is not unusual for them to go through two or three drafts before it makes it to the blog. Some of my own posts gestate for months before they see the light of {grow}.
My number one priority is to live up to a promise that if you spend time on this site, you will ALWAYS find something interesting here.
The business goal supported through my blog frequency is to establish a community through thought leadership so people can know me, trust me, and eventually hire me to conduct a workshop, consult with them on a strategy, or give a keynote speech at a meeting or conference.
A year ago, I was posting five times a week, including a {growtoon} comic on Fridays. I noticed that the number one reason people stated for un-subscribing was "too many posts." Once I cut back to four times a week by eliminating the cartoon, the un-subscibe level dropped by 80 percent. So I used data and feedback from my readers to find a sweet spot.
After years of trial and error, four excellent posts per week seems to be the rate that is acceptable to my audience, it supports my goals, and it is within reach of my content-creating resources.
So yes, you can publish too often. And when you do, you'll probably start getting signals that tell you! The social web is pretty good at delivering feedback.
I hope this overview has been useful. I'm sure you have additional ideas you can share about posting frequency and i would love to hear about them in the comment section!

I don't know my online audience and neither do you
Feb 2nd
In a normal week, I'll get at least one email similar to this one:
"Hi Mark. You don't know me. We've never connected but I read your blog every day and have bought all your books. I have several of your posts hanging on bulletin boards around our office and we frequently use your material in our meetings and client presentations. You've made a big impact on me and I just wanted to let you know."
This man is clearly an important member of my online audience. He's buying my books and transmitting my content on a regular basis. But he's not active on social media so I've never heard of him before. No tweets, posts, or blog comments. In fact, there is no social media analytics program on earth that would reveal his name to me because he is not engaging with me in a public way.
This provokes an interesting question: How many of the most important customers and potential customers out there can you really identify through social analytics programs? Here's one possible answer: 2 percent.
Does that seem surprising? Read on.
Most sharing takes place offline.
What percent of all word of mouth content transmission occurs online? 50 percent? 60 percent? Maybe even higher than that?
The actual number is 7 percent according to research reported by Ed Keller and Brad Fay in their book The Face-to-Face Book: Why Real Relationships Rule in a Digital Marketplace.
We tend to over-estimate this number because the online version of word of mouth transmission is so easy to see and record for measurement purposes. Social media provides such an intoxicating database of tweets, mentions, and posts that it is easy to rely to heavily on these symbols of content transmission.
But it gets more interesting.
A number of studies show that about 70 percent of social content sharing occurs through mechanisms we never see through analytics like email, private messages, and text messaging. This is called "dark social media" because our content is moving but we'll never know it because it's behind a secure firewall.
So we only capture in our analytics 30 percent of that 7 percent that is not offline word of mouth, which equals (drum roll please) … 2 percent.
Does this make sense? Could it be true that we can only identify 2 percent of the people who are sharing our content?
Pick any blogger who has been around for awhile and ask them what percent of their audience comments on the blog — they'll say it is about 2 percent. Coincidence?
Facebook recently reported that less than 5 percent of the fans of a company page typically share the content online. In the same ballpark.
Marketing to the online audience elite
The precise number can be debated but I think we can agree that there is a massive, silent audience out there we may never know. In my mind, I am seeing many, many people reading this blog post (maybe you), nodding in agreement and thinking "Well, he doesn't know I'm out here!"
I think this poses some interesting questions about marketing to an online audience.
- We are only measuring the loud people, a vast minority of those who love us. What is the danger of forming a marketing plan around a group that is probably less than 5 percent of the total audience?
- We cannot mistake "quiet" for irrelevant. There is a huge number of passionate fans out there who just never tell us they're passionate fans! They are a powerful group.
- If we can't accurately measure our content audience through normal analytics channels, what CAN we do to more accurately know who's out there sharing our content in some way?
What's your view? How do you really know your online audience?

The PRACTALL consensus statement for childhood asthma is just published and is available, together with a pocket guide, on the EAACI website (http://www.eaaci.net/webcasts.htm), plus as a published paper:
Bacharier LB, Boner A, Carlsen KH, et al. Diagnosis and treatment of asthma in childhood: a PRACTALL consensus report. Allergy. 2008;63:5-34 (free text).
This consensus report was prepared by the PRACTALL pediatric group and is based on available published literature (until June 2007) and on best current clinical practice. The PRACTALL initiative is endorsed by both the European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI), which nominated expert teams to formulate consensus for clinical practice in Europe and North America.
The paper includes the natural history & pathophysiology of childhood asthma and recommendations for diagnosis, management, and monitoring. In addition, specific recommendations for use of inhalers as well as management of the following are included:
- children 0-2 years
- children 3-5 years
- acute asthma episodes
- exercise-induced asthma
- difficult asthma.
What the PRACTALL consensus adds:
- Complete focus on children (similar to GINA Pediatric Pocket Guide)
- Breakdown into four age groups: 0-2, 3-5, 6-12, & adolescence
- A discussion of asthma phenotypes in childhood and the heterogeneity of childhood asthma
- Emphasis on allergy testing of children with suspected asthma
- Definition of asthma control for children (adds to that in GINA & US Expert Panel [EPR] 3): "Children (particularly preschool children) may experience 1–2 exacerbations per year and their asthma can be considered controlled provided they have no symptoms outside the exacerbation."
- Sample questions for asthma monitoring
- Exhaled nitric oxide proposed as useful adjunct to routine clinical assessment in asthma management
- A greater role, as compared with GINA, for leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs), which are listed as an alternative to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) as first-line treatment for persistent asthma, particularly if the child has concomitant rhinitis (see treatment algorithm below)
- Research recommendations

We are expecting our first and it's a girl. We have both loved the name Reese ever since we thought of having kids. My middle name is Lynn and we thought about Reese Lynn and my husband loves it but the problem is, his sister just had a baby last year and they named her Riley Lynn, it's sounds a little too close and there are so many other names we could use. Can anybody give me some ideas?
Middle names for Reese??

Reese Michele? I suck at this game.
If you can't hear me, it's because I'm in parentheses.
My neice is Maggie Reese, but Reese Maggie doesn't sound quite right. How about Reese Anne?
Reese espieces?

I would consider a variant on Lynn. This is a great site and it gives you variants and definitions on different names.
I think Reese, being a short and modern, somewhat trendy name, would go well with a longer, more classic middle name. I like the suggestions of Reese Elizabeth and Reese Catherine already mentioned. Victoria, Emily, and Caroline also sound nice with Reese. Another idea is to combine Lynn with another name to make it longer and flow better with Reese and also, if it's important to you, to differentiate it from her cousin. Examples: Emmalynn, Karalynn. Or a name that has Lynn in it, like Marilynn or Madelynn.
I like Reese Alexendra. We actually have Reese as one of our short-listed girl names too, but spelled the traditional Welsh way - Rhys
